District 12, 18, Male

I failed to kill Sapphire in the bloodbath and didn't secure 1 f*cking kill! Everyone is inside the sand igloo, discussing the events of the bloodbath and I feel so angry.
"What do you say to a little hunting?" Asks Dylan and I smile a twisted and evil smile.
"Let's go." I pick up a 25cm sword, that lays on the ground.
"Alright, I will stay behind." The District 5 male says, trying to sound upset but I can see a more relieved look in his eyes. I grunt and we head towards the lake.

The sun is hot on my face and I rub on some sunscreen I found in one of the bags, there was no way I was sharing it with the others and quickly stuff it into my trousers. Everyone walks at a fast pace and have a drink of water every couple of minutes, from another supply bag, I laugh to myself when I see Dylan's sunburn on his face.
"What?" Questions Dylan and stops in front of me.
"Ah, nothing." I roll my eyes and walk past me, patting down on my tights to feel for the sunscreen but it wasn't there.
"Looking for this?" I turn around and see Dylan putting on MY bottle of sunscreen.
"You give me that back right now, you b*tch!" I cry and tackle him to the floor. Brooke screams and grabs me off him.
"If you do that one more time, I will kill you with my bare hands." She snarls her cutlass to my kneck, gripping on to my shirt. There was no point in disagreeing.
"Fine." I sneer. Brooke slaps the laughing Dylan and takes the sunscreen off him, wiping it on herself. Meanwhile, Vidia sits down and feels the sand, she yelps as she does and a 2nd-degree burn appears on her hand.
"Note: don't touch the sand." Brooke hands the sunscreen and she smears it across her face.
"We have a bottle of lotion back at the cornucopia, you should go back." Vidia winces as Brooke touches the burn.
"Are you sure?"
"We can manage without you."
"Ugh, alright." Vidia leaves, heading in the opposite direction.

Vidia Ciele

District 2, 17, Female

I didn't want to seem weak but the burn hurt a lot.
"Vidia, you ok?" I smile at the worried Kliar.
"Yeah, I just need some lotion." I show him the burn. I liked Kliar, he was different than the boys in District 2, a good kind of different. He was sweet and caring and not Hunger Games obsessed. I pound my fists against my head.

You sound like such a softie Vidia, this better not get in the way of the Games.

I tell myself, I swore I wouldn't let relationships get in the way of the Games as it did to my sister.
"Here you are." Kliar smiles and hands me some lotion.
"I can do it for you if you want?" Kliar says and I laugh, punching his arm lightly.
"I'm not a baby but sure, thanks." I hand him back the bottle of lotion and stare into his dark grey eyes, as he puts the lotion across my burn. He does it so lightly, that I feel no pain.

"Hey." Greets Dylan, as they trail back into the cornucopia. Me and Kliar had been sitting and talking for what seemed like hours, he was such a good listener.
"Find anything?" I ask and they shake their heads.
"We saw some footprints but they got cut off after we followed them for a bit."

Eoghan Keith Coutts

District 7, 17, Male

We began to brush off our footprints off with a branch when Samara realized careers could follow them. We just have a few supplies: a battle axe and a bucket.
We decided to go down to the lake, collect some water in the bucket and try to purify it when we find somewhere to set up camp.

We enter a forest type place with cacti and bushes, the bushes have many thorns and I clear a path for us using my axe. Suddenly, we find 2 sand igloos.
"Is here alright?" I ask and she nods, she has been quite quiet. "Are you okay, Samara?" She bites her lip.
"I saw the bodies." I sigh and put an arm around her.
"They've gone to a better place now."
"No, that's not the point. I don't want to die like that." Her eyes become glassy and I pull her into the sand igloo. There is a couch and a wardrobe, in the wardrobe I find a pair of fluffy, pink slippers. "Those look comfy!" She giggles and I put them over her black shoes. The shoes wouldn't come off and I knew why that's why I had told Samara to avoid touching the sand. We sat down on the sofa and, surprisingly, it was comfy.

While Samara slept on the sand, I began making a small fire. I had done it a few times before when I was hunting with Samara but that was to cook food not to purify water. In training they said for it to be completely healthy I'd need iodine but I didn't have that, so we'd have to make do with just boiling it. I left it to boil and went inside, the heat was killing me. I wipe some sweat from my forehead and decide we'll have to go back to the lake, late tonight. I had seen Jack run into the opposite bushes after filling his flask with lake water, that was where the girl power alliance had gone. I'd kept a close eye on my surroundings in the bloodbath and saw no one come this way.

Embry Doe Ri

District 8, 18, Female

We had found a dying, hollow, tree and thought it the best place to store our supplies. Sapphire had made it out the bloodbath with a bag, a belt of throwing knives and a bow and arrow. She would've been able to get more but had to trip a charging Caesar to the floor and run after us. I rummage through the bag to find iodine, 2 flasks, and a blanket, which meant no food or water, yet. Loren lays the blanket out next to the dying hollow tree,
"We'll sleep on this." She declares, it looks big enough to fit the 4 of us but we'd still be cramped.
"I'm thirsty." Nevaeh moans and I nod along in agreement. T
"There's a small pond just behind those trees," I say. I had seen it while we were running here.
"Me and Nevaeh will go."
"Ok,"
"I can search for food." I blurt out and immediately wish I hadn't.
"Cool, and I will protect the supplies?" Loren verifies and we nod.
"See you in a little bit and scream if you need help." Says Sapphire, holding Nevaeh's hand. T

I leave shortly after them and Loren wishes me luck.
"You too," I mutter and I'm off. I hum to myself, bow and arrow in hand. I'm lucky they let me take it with me.

I wander around a little bit and have no luck, I decide I should head back as I near the edge of the forest. Suddenly, I hear rustling in the trees and point my bow and arrow at a tall and lanky 16-year-old, Jack. He looks frightened but determined.
"Leave me alone."
"Come down." I plead him, we could use a boy to protect us, Loren would hate that I'd said that.
"So you can get an easier target? No chance." He doesn't understand.
"We need you!"
"I said no!" He screams and I see something sharp drop from the tree, a sword. It slices right through my head and the last words I hear are, "I'm so sorry..."
