AN: Here's Thalia, Grover, Rachel, and Beckendorf's chapters. Day 3 will be Nyssa, Travis, Annabeth, Nico and Lee. I can't wait until Nyssa's first chapter! Seems like everyone else has already had a chapter (they have )

Thalia Grace

Yes, Nyssa and I ran away from the careers. They clearly thought we were the weakest, and it was only a matter of time before they killed us off. I feel kind of bad for Piper, because now they probably will kill her instead of us next, but this is the Hunger Games—we have to do what we have to do to stay alive. So, when the careers left us in charge of the stuff (stupid choice) when they went tribute hunting, we grabbed a few bags and made a dash for the swamp, where we figured they would have the hardest time finding us with all the opportunities for camouflage and the trees that grow close together.

Now we're still running through the swamp, even though the sun set a while ago. By now the careers are probably back at the Cornucopia. I imagine Clarisse kicking supplies around, and Luke steaming with anger. The thought makes me laugh. I have a stitch in my chest. Soon we'll reach the border. I don't know who else in here, but I don't think a lot of tributes came in here. I heard a cannon a few hours back, and I thought it was the careers. Of course, it could have also been Nico or Percy or Annabeth, since they're the other strongest tributes.

"Do you think we're far enough away for the night? I'm tired and my lungs are killing me" Nyssa gasps. She clutches a nearby tree, and we both takes swigs of water from our full water bottles.

"I don't know if it's safe to sleep yet, but let's look around for a safe tree to spend the night in. I'll take first watch" I offer. She nods, and we walk slightly farther for a hiding place. Unfortunately, the trees are low and have thin branches if any at all, so we can't sleep in a tree. Instead, we choose mostly low ground in a clump of thick trees and bushes. Nyssa takes out her sleeping bag and starts getting some rest while I squat down behind a tree. I doubt that we'll be attacked during the night, but it's better safe than sorry. We probably have everyone's target on our backs. The careers obviously want us dead now that we betrayed them, and all the other tributes probably don't know we left the careers, and would see this as a perfect time to take out to careers.

I look up when I hear the Capitol anthem. There's only one picture in the sky tonight, and that's the girl from nine, Drew Tanaka. It's disppointing that not enough people died. Speaking of death, I wonder if those bug bites that Jason and Luke have can kill them. I feel like I'm in the prime location for bug bites—the swamp. I take another sip of water.

A few hours later when my legs feel like lead and I'm about to pass out, I wake Nyssa up so I can sleep. I crash right on top of the sleeping bag.

Grover Underwood

I'm on first watch. Percy and Annabeth are sharing a sleeping bag a bit further up in the tree, and I have my bow nocked and poised ready. My back is up against the scratchy tree. It's only been an hour since Percy and Annabeth have fallen asleep, so I have another hour to go. I wish I had my pipes. They could make time fly by.

First watch is boring, so my only form of entertainment is thinking. Like, I wonder what Uncle Ferdinand is up to now? He's probably sleeping or watching the games. Or knitting. I sigh. I would give anything to be back in District Ten right now. CRUNCH. I catch my breath. That was definetly the crunch of a tree branch under a boot. I look down and see the Careers from one. My eyes scan a bit further on, but I don't see anyone else. They haven't spotted me yet. I pray that they'll just move right on by, but they stop right below me. Even worse, they LEAN against my tree. I bite my lip to keep from screaming. Percy better not snore.

Jason itches a bump on his arm.

"Has it gotten worse?" Piper asks.

"Kind of. It itches more."

"The bump looks bigger" Piper says and bites her lip. "I hope you get some medicine from a sponsor soon." Jason nods. Then they kiss. I feel embarrased to watch them, but at the same time I'm terrified and stifling back laughter.

"JASON! PIPER! ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL A NYSSA AND THALIA ON US?" Luke shouts. I can't see him, but by the loudness of his voice I'm guessing he's not to far away. Please leave, I'm thinking. The last thing I need is to have three or four Careers below me. It's only a matter of time before I'm spotted.

"NO, LUKE! WE WERE JUST TALKING!" Piper shouts back. Luke emerges from the plains.

"About Clarisse and I?" Luke asks, purposely angling his sword so it hits the moon, threatenly.

"No, those bumps on our arms. Particulary my arm" Jason says, and Piper nods.

"Oh. Well, be glad you have a reasonable excuse, although I am suspicious…" Luke says, and walks back to the Cornucopia. Piper and Jason exchange looks, then follow him. When they are far enough away, I breathe a sigh of relief. Percy finds this time to wake up.

"What did I miss?" He asks slowly.

"Dude, you missed so much".

Rachel Dare

Reyna and I are trying to find a way out of the swamp. After we both started getting itchy bumps on our arms and legs, we decided it would be safer to go some place like the mountain. I also want to find Travis, and Reyna seems okay with that since they're District partners. I have a hunch he's in the mountains, though I don't know for sure. I had asked Reyna where he would go, since I thought she knew him, but it turns out she didn't know him until the Reaping, and even then she didn't spend much time with him.

Since sunset we've been looking for a way out of the swamp, but it's seemingly impossible. The Fallen projections have just appeared, so we know that Travis and Grover are still alive. I wouldn't mind allying with Grover, but he's most likely with Percy and maybe Annabeth. That would work, but having an alliance of six is never good, because atleast one person will turn on you. Plus, when it's the end it's everyone against eachother.

We don't know how deep we are in the swamp, so Reyna is tossing sticks infront of us incase we run into the barrier. I defintely don't want to die by electrocution. In my mind I replay all the tributes still alive. The Careers, Jason, Piper, Clarisse, and Luke. I have a hunch that Nyssa and Thalia left, since slightly earlier we saw them running through the forest. Travis is alive, so is Reyna and I. Nico is alive. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are alive. Then Lee, Will, Beckendorf, and Drew. Actually—Drew's dead. I forgot.

Another thing we need to do is find water. We're both parched, and even though we have some left, we're still low on it. Reyna has been covered in mud for the past twelve hours, and I'm pretty sure that doesn't help the itching from the bites. We've ruled out the swampy river snaking through the swamp sector since it's murky brown and Reyna swears she saw a poisonous water snake floating around. Soon, though, it may be our only option. I hope it doesn't come down to that.

Reyna throws another stick infront of us. It rebounds and flys right over our heads, now charred black. A ripple goes through the barrier.

"Yes!" Reyna pumps her fist in the air. "Now all we need to do is follow the barrier and eventually we'll end up at the edge of the ocean or the desert. What do you think? Left or right?" Reyna asks me, already collecting some more sticks.

"Let's go right. I think that's the way of the desert, and we have better chance of finding drinkable water if we follow the sand. Also, it's closer to the mountain where we can find Travis." I decide. Reyna agrees with me, and we start walking along the barrier, Reyna throwing sticks so we don't walk into it. Just as the sun starts to come up, we see it—the desert.

Charles Beckendorf

I finally made it. The top of the mountain. I breathe out a sigh of relief. This gives me an advantage, because here I can see everybody. Lower down you can only see open spaces, but here you can see even in the forest and swamp. I locate al my tributes easily. It's slightly hard to see the other tributes in the dark, but the moon gives me a pretty good light. Lee is in the desert. I have already taken his as a strong competitor during the bloodbath. Before he wasn't much—just the boy from six. He played well during training, never showing his true archery strength. But the bloodbath proved his strength and importance.

In the plains with the cornucopia are the Careers from one and two. It was exciting when Thalia and Nyssa ran away into the swamp; I'm sure the viewers loved that. Jason and Piper are both strong but gentle. They hesitate to kill, which means they aren't winning material. If I were them I would leave the Careers soon, since none of them have had a kill since the bloodbath. Clarisse is crazy. She loves to kill, and won't hesitate to do so. She's strong, too, a tough competitor. She defintly has some anger issues, I wouldn't like to be a Career on her bad side. Luke is a crazy killer, too, but he's more calm. He can stay in order and be reasonable, but that doesn't mean he always does.

Then in the swamp is Reyna, Rachel, Nyssa, and Thalia. Nyssa and Thalia are both powerful, but nice too. The aren't gentle like Piper or Jason, but they do think before acting. Defintly threats, and mysterious. Rachel and Reyna are a surprising alliance. Rachel is kind, and very good at camouflage and hiding. She's not a good fighter, however, but from what I've seen she's not weak. Reyna on the other hand is strong and good with weapons. She seems like a smart career. She's tough, not quick to forgive, and powerful. A threat for me, though I bet Clarisse or Luke could take her out with out a huge struggle.

The island is very small. There isn't a ton of water around it, but most tributes can't swim, so it's a good place to camp out. But from what I can see, there's no signs of fresh water on the island, so Nico can't last long unless he gets a lot of sponsors or chooses to leave the island, where he will be weak and need to have a late search for a source of water. He was prettty good during training, but it wasn't the same as the other careers. I'll bet money though that he does have several sponsors. ]

Then there is the forest. From what I can see there is only one alliance in the forest: Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Annabeth and Percy are defintly great fighters. Percy is defintly a threat with his weapon skills and strength, but he's kind of clueless and would do anything to protect Annabeth. Annabeth on the other hand is pretty good with a dagger, is strong and smart, but would do anything to protect Percy. Grover is defintly not a threat. He has a weapon, a bow and arrow, but he's bad at it. However he is teamed up with other strong tributes who would probably protect him, and he WAS able to shoot Luke in the leg, which is actually kind of a problem for Luke.

Finally, it's where I am: the mountain. Travis and Will are also here, but much lower down then me. Travis is good at pulling pranks, and smart in a traps and trickery kind of way. Travis is quick and a fast thinker, which is useful. He's teamed up with Will. Will is great at healing. He's not a good fighter, but he's strong, and also pretty smart. I think he has good aim, but it's not as good as other tributes. The only people he could probably take down would be Grover or Rachel. Maybe Travis in his sleep, but Will is too kind for that.

And then there is me. I'm strong, smart, handsome, and hopefully the winner of these Hunger Games.

I lay out my sleeping bag, my only position besides my long sword, and snuggle in. I don't think any one will be able to make it up here, with out me waking up, so I'm probably safe. Ah… finally, sleep.

AN: I'm so glad this was posted so quickly! It's even pretty long (well, longer than my pre-games chapters). Take my poll to vote for who you want to win!
