The wild bloodbath has begun! I had a TON of help from Gomex with ideas and writing the bloodbath, so make sure you go and check out their stories and profile. They are a really talented writer, and I hope you can see a prime example of that with this bloodbath. Thank you so much, Gomex!

Raeden Raicho

It was time for chaos to break loose.

I prepared to enter my pod as I closed my eyes remembering my promise to Lana and Nanny. I will be going home, no matter what I have to do. I stepped into my pod as it locked shut and began to rise into the arena. The roof above me flashed as I glanced at it, wondering what was happening to the arena.

The arena had mirrors and a mysterious mist around the cornucopia. It almost seemed like it was a mirror maze in front of our eyes. I thought I saw a shadow flickering inside the Cornucopia, and it sort of freaked me out. Despite that, I locked eyes with a nearby ax ready to charge for it.

"Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" Elisa's voice squealed excitedly into the arena microphone.

At that moment the countdown began

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5

I got into a starting position and took some deep breaths. I was trying my best to prepare for what is to come.

4, 3, 2, 1

Boom.

Nolan Calenver

I ran towards the cornucopia much faster than most of the tributes around me. The wind blew in my hair as I smirked, reaching out for a sword. As soon as I grabbed ahold of my sword I spun around to look for someone close by.

The girl from five, Raeden, was a volunteer. She was obviously much stronger than the non-careers, so she'll be a perfect kill for me! I charged at her, and as she turned her back to grab a mirror as I laughed.

She must have heard me running as she quickly spun around and slammed the mirror into my face. Pieces of glass stuck out my cheeks and forehead as I cursed in pain.

"You stupid girl!" I groaned in pain as she continued to hit me repeatedly with the broken mirror. I snarled at her with my last breath as my vision faded away. Valerie… I really love her. She's so beautiful, she deserves to win. Please, Valerie. Kill this girl. Avenge me… I love you, Valerie…

I collapsed to the floor as a pool of blood formed around my bashed skull.

Boom.

Edine Rhine

I had no time to think as I just ran towards the cornucopia. I quickly grabbed my supplies and turned towards Evren, who was already running away.

"Wait up Evren!" I hollered as I began to chase after him.

I chased him as I was tripped by Valerie. She attempted to plunge her sword into my stomach. I quickly dodged as it only grazes my back. I scream in pain as she finally makes a plunge into my stomach.

I groaned as I looked out toward Evren, who seemed to be crying in the distance. No…

Boom.

Jennifer Harp

I quickly ran directly away from the cornucopia as soon as the gong rang. I did not want to run into Max at all, or even worst a career. As I ran through the arena I ran headfirst into Davina, the girl from three. We looked at each other, quite terrified before running back away. As I continued to run, three more cannons fired in the distance.

I kept running not looking behind me for even a second. Who knows, Max could be following behind my tail, and I won't have anything to defend myself.

As soon as I stopped, I looked around me. I knew I was safe because I at least had to have run for two minutes. I collapsed to the ground of the arena, already tired. At least I was alive, for now.

Valerie Mason

I spun around and grabbed as many supplies as I could I placed a few throwing knives on my belt, grabbed a large dark green backpack, and a long, jagged-edged sword. Smiling to myself, I nodded to Glint and we charged. The outliers from Districts 6 and 7 were perfect targets. While the District 6 male was rather large and athletic, I slid up behind him and stabbed his side. He spun around with a small knife in his hand, but when he saw me his face paled.

"No…" He said weakly. I raised my sword and sliced him again.

Boom. He fell to the ground, dead. I wiped my feet on the cold ground, trying to get the blood off. Whatever. I couldn't see very far due to the hazy sky and disorienting flickering of the shadows I see everywhere. What kind of arena is this, anyway?

Suddenly, I felt a cold mist creep up my side. When I moved to brush it away, I saw a tiny vole-like creature on my leg.

"AH!" I screamed and sliced it off with my sword. However, I felt its tiny teeth bite into my side before it let go. They hurt a lot for such a tiny creature.

What is going on? And where is Nolan?
