Timeskip to start of the hunger games.
Percy's POV
I barely heard the announcer call out, "Welcome to the 74th annual HUNGER GAMES!" In the loud announcer's voice. I only snapped to attention when he saw everyone running around.
I ran forwards and grabbed a backpack off the ground, also snatching up a throwing knife and then I turned around and ran, I ran straight into the forest behind me. I ran for the cover of the trees and once I was inside I ran deeper and deeper, and when I decided he was far enough away I crouched down behind a clump of trees and looked over my stuff.
Inside the backpack were two packages of saltine crackers, three packages of beef jerky, an empty canteen, a rope, a grappling hook, and a blanket. Plus I had all my disguised weapons that I managed to sneak in, riptide, and my watch that turned into a shield.
As soon as I was done checking that over I ran through the plan. Me and Annabeth plus the kids had made alliances with the Grace-Mclean's, and the Valdez's.
I stood up when I heard a branch crack behind me, I whirled around to find Annabeth holding Charlie, with Luke beside her.
"Percy! Thank the gods!" She cried out rushing towards me. "Come, Piper and Jason are setting up a camp in a cave area they found."
She hugged me tight and then we started on our way to safety.
Timeskip!
When we reached Piper and Jason Percy looked around. I spotted Jasper but that's all.
"Where is Silena and Zoe?" I asked.
"Oh, Percy, they said they were going to the cornucopia. They will be back if they survive. If they don't well….we will see them in the stars." Piper said gently.
I sank to his knees in despair, my beloved daughter Zoe was going to risk her life in the cornucopia.
Zoe's POV
As the games begin unlike the rest of my family I rush straight into the melee. I quickly grab a set of four throwing knives and get to work collecting supplies. I'm just reaching for a first aid kit when I see a girl I recognize as Isabelle slicing her dagger at my neck. I duck and roll, stabbing her leg before calling the water from a nearby lake in the hills to grab her in a choke hold. She struggles and passes out so I drop her to the ground. I dive inside the cornucopia and quickly grab a bow, and a quiver full of arrows.
Then I run, only stopping to drive a knife in the heart of some dark haired guy I don't have time to recognize.
I spot Silena across the battlefield, shocking people with her touch. They slump to the ground, the electric charge shocking their hearts so much they pass out. The slight exposure isn't enough to kill though.
Then I run to the woods and keep running. Eventually I start to follow footsteps in the soil and find the cave area my family is hiding out in.
Hazel's POV
I rush forwards with the rest, and grab what I had my eye on this whole time, a dagger lying a little ways in. Snatching it up I turn and run to Marcus and Elda, they are running as best they can to the woods behind us. I surge forwards grabbing them just as a blond guy I realize is Jace swings a sword towards them. I shove them out of the way, and the sword cuts my shoe open, making a gash in my ankle. Jace growls and swings again, this time clipping Elda's foot. She cries out in pain and I slash Jace's leg before stabbing his arm and then ending with a harsh stab to the gut. He doubles over, screaming in pain and I nick his ear before picking up his sword.
Then I pick up Elda, carrying her behind Marcus who I instruct to run as fast as he can. We flee into the woods, near the border between the woods and the hills.
We run far and eventually reach a section of trees that are grouped in a circle, with space in the middle for us to make a camp. I set Elda down and she whimpers in pain. The cut is bleeding pretty bad and I rip off a piece of my shirt and wrap it around the wound tightly, hopefully that will help, at least until Nico and Will, whom we made an alliance with, get here.
As I was doing that Emily showed up. She silently slipped in and when I laid Elda and Marcus down to sleep she showed me that she'd scored a backpack full of rope, a pocket knife, saltine crackers, beef jerky, a water bottle and an empty canteen, and a small, simple first aid kit.
Then we held each other and silently prayed that Bianca, Felix, and my Frank would make it here safely.
Felix's POV
As soon as the games started I surged forwards, my sister Bianca beside me and my father, the great hero Frank Zhang on my other side. We ran towards the cornucopia. As soon as we reached the weapons I grabbed a sword and a dagger and started hunting for food and a medical kit. Suddenly I spotted my sister rushing into danger! Bianca was my twin! I couldn't let her just die!
Then I spotted what she was doing. Her best friend Zoe had her back turned to us, battling a woman with dark hair and necklace that pulsed red. Another person was sneaking up on her, he had strawberry blond hair spiked up in a perfect style. Zoe would get seriously injured, and possibly die, if he wasn't intercepted. So my sister attacked, with no weapon in her hand. She jumped on his back as I ran forward, grabbing his dagger with her hand and stabbing at him. He twisted and grabbed the hilt too trying to wrench her off him. She just clenched her legs around his waist tighter and wrapped her arms in a chokehold around his neck. She stabbed his arm before he threw her off his neck. She fell, holding on with only her legs. I was getting closer, but people kept getting in my way, people with weapons. I watched as she hit her head on a small rock that was lying on the ground, and she slumped, her hold falling. He turned and plunged his dagger into her heart. She twitched before falling limp.
I was enraged! I raced forward, newfound energy in my muscles and lept over her body, landing in front of him. I wasted no time, kicking him in the face and then driving my dagger riiight next to his heart. "Hello, my name is Felix Zhang. You killed my twin sister. Prepare to die." I snarled, before stabbing him in the heart I wrenched my dagger out and whirled around, to see a blond woman with braids rushing towards me.
She let out a scream, "You killed my husband! I will kill YOU!"
Then she attacked, twin knives in hand. I grabbed her dead husband's dagger and threw it at her, hitting her arm, then I grabbed it out and plunged it back in before pulling it back out. She doubled over screaming in pain and I grabbed Bianca's body carrying it with me as I ran to the woods. I hurried through and searched for footprints that matched my family's. I finally found a set of prints that looked promising, one with an adult sized heavy print along with a smaller set of child sized ones, perfect for my mom if she was carrying one of the twins, and the other twin. Near those I saw a set of bigger, fresher prints that I assumed to be my dad's. I followed the prints and arrived in a hollow between trees, where the rest of my family awaited two people, not one.
So that's the first part of the beginning of the games. There will be one or two more parts like this one before the chapters will be solely focused on one character for the entire chapter.
