Sorry, I know it's been a while since I've last posted a chapter, but I've been encountering some writer's block. It's up now, though! Hooray! Just another short little chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

District 11: Cole Cambridge, Age 13

So many emotions are clashing inside my mind right now.

I feel devastated for Angelica, obviously. But in retrospect, I'm also a tiny bit… relieved. I would never have been able to kill her myself. Her death makes it a tiny bit easier for me to come home. The thought fills me with disgust, though. Angelica just died! How could anything good come out of that?

As for Beckett… I don't know what to think about him and what he did. I guess I'm angry at him for killing Angelica. But at the same time, he didn't do it because he was evil and wanted to watch us suffer. He killed her because he wanted to go home. In the end, that's what all of us want. Angelica's death isn't really his fault. It's the Capitol's.

The Capitol. There's one feeling that runs deep into my veins, one feeling that overrides all the others- hatred for the people who did this to us. I had a decent life before the Capitol dragged me into these games. Now, my life has been turned upside down. Pain is all I really know anymore. But the audience enjoys it. They like watching me suffer. The thought is revolting.

You know what? This can't keep happening. Right there and then, I make a decision. If I win these games, I'm going to start a rebellion.

I'll set the Capitol on fire and laugh as it burns to the ground.

District 2: Juno Armstrong, Age 18

Verin could have gone far. He was strong, smart, and skilled with his axe. If Marine and I hadn't found him, he might have stood a chance of going home. He couldn't handle me, though. Even the biggest competitors in this arena can't handle my sheer power.

Other tributes can try and win. But in the end, their attempts will be futile. I'm going to win these games, and I'll kill anybody who gets in my way.

The Capitol may as well start sounding the victory trumpets now, because the victor of the 48th Hunger Games is going to be Juno Armstrong.

District 8: Alyxandra Lernan, Age 16

Tom and Marco were the first two tributes to die in these horrible games.

Tom never even made it to the arena. The Capitol killed him before he had a chance to win, all because of an assassination attempt that wasn't even his fault.

At least he got to meet his father, though. I remember how Tom lived in an orphanage his whole life. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for him. I don't know what I'd do without my family.

I hope that wherever Marco and Tom are now, they're together. I watched as Marco jumped to his death from his platform. The Capitol had broken him, just like they broke Tom. After all of the pain the two have had to bear over the years, they deserve to find a bit of happiness.

District 2: Octavian Grimes, Age 18

The boy from District 10 barely even noticed when I stabbed him.

He was too busy crying over the corpse of his dead district partner. It was pathetic, honestly. I did him a favor by putting him out of his misery. Besides, if I hadn't killed him, somebody else would've. That's the beautiful thing about the Hunger Games. You let down your guard for just a second, and BAM! A cannon goes off and you're heading home in a wooden box. The arena isn't kind to those who make mistakes.

That's actually one of the things I love most about the games. The weaklings are all weeded out at the beginning, and then the strong ones- like me- get to fight it out. I'm looking forward to the inevitable showdown between the Careers. All we need to do is get down to the final eight- then I'm free to massacre my former allies.

I smile a little when I picture their blood staining the ground red.

District 9: Albin Ainsley, Age 15

Carlina was the first person, besides my family, to really accept the fact that I was transgender.

Sure, I had friends at school who pretended like they didn't care, but I saw the sidelong glances they snuck in my direction. I heard the way they whispered about me when they thought I wasn't listening. Carlina, though… she didn't seem to mind at all. I guess she had more important things to worry about. Either way, though, she was a true friend. She shouldn't have died. She shouldn't have died...

I saw the girl from 1's face in the sky yesterday- I think her name was Ariana. She was the one who had killed Carlina. So she had gotten what she deserved, at least. Scorpius, though- he was still alive.

I feel nothing but cold, hard rage when I think of my old ally. He wormed his way between Erin and I, got us to trust him, and then stabbed us in the back. Erin even told me that she didn't trust him, and I didn't believe her! Erin was a good ally, and she was smart. I should've listened when she said that she had a bad feeling about Scorpius.

But I can't change what's in the past. All I can do is try and right the wrongs that were done to my allies, my friends. And that means hunting down Scorpius.

Just you wait, Scorpius, I think vaguely, fingering my grandma's ring. I'm coming for you. And when I do finally find you, there'll be no mercy.

DUN DUN DUUUUN…

Anyways, hopefully Day 9 will be up quicker than Night 8! School is starting, though, so I doubt it will be posted anytime soon, unfortunately. :(

See you around!
