Kliar Hydren

District 5, 18, Male

I lay out my sleeping bag, next to Vidia, and lay down to face her.
"Hey," she whispers. We had just finished our shift to guard and now it was Brooke and Caesar, I really felt like I knew her after today. We had talked ever since she had gotten that burn and I was starting to actually like her.
"Vidia..."
"Yeah?" She asks, in her beautiful, yet powerful voice.
"I feel like I really like you."
"Me too." She nods and I question whether I should let the next bit out.
"I mean really like you." She blinks blankly and then sighs, taking hold of my hand, her hands are calloused and strong.
"M-me." She is hesitant but finally lets it out. "Me too." Suddenly, I feel her lips against mine and it's incredible the sensation warms my blood and fills something inside of me.
"Woah..." I gasp and she smiles.
"Goodnight, Kliar."
"Goodnight."

Arlene Marven

District 3, 14, Female

I'm tired and scared but that's besides the fact that I must keep moving. I'd grabbed a backpack and ran for my life, the backpack wasn't of too much use at the moment but maybe later. It had a couple of bandages and a flask. Suddenly, I remember something I had seen on TV at The Capitol and kneel next to a cactus, I take a chunk of it off and hold my tears from the piercing spikes, digging into me. I take all the spikes off and squeeze hard water spills into the flask that I'd held underneath it and I sigh in relief.

I hear some voices and quickly run from the village of sand igloos and into a forest of dead trees, bushes, and cacti. I walk for some time and finally find a place I could sleep. It was a bush with a hole I could fit through and it was enough for me to squeeze in, it wouldn't be comfortable but it would be safe and that's what matters.

Loren Tryler

District 5, 18, Female

I was the second watch for the night and sat cautiously with my back against the tree and the bow and arrow we had collected from Embry's dead body. As soon as I heard the cannon I ran for the direction she'd left in and found her laying on the ground with a bloody head. The murderer had taken their weapon with them and hah left a dead Embry on the floor, I had cried and cried until the hovercraft had come to collect her. I have never been the most emotional person but to know that I could've saved her, it hurts.

By the time I had come back Sapphire and Nevaeh knew what had happened and we had sat in silence for most of the evening. The night felt good and it cooled down my burns from the day. I stroke the forehead of a sleeping Nevaeh, I couldn't imagine being here so young. I hear some rustling and jump to my feet, bow in hand.

"Loren?" Asks a hushed voice and I almost scream.
"Kliar!" I laugh and run to him, dropping the bow. We hug for what seems like hours. "How did you get away from the careers?"
"I told them I was going to the toilet," I smirk. "But I need your help."
"Come sit down," I say and he hesitantly sits beside me, he puts his arm around me and I can't help but feel happy. I thought yesterday would be the last time I saw him but I got to see him again.
"It's about Vidia."
"What did she do?" I ask, nervous.
"Nothing but...we kissed." My eyes grow wide and I gasp.
"Kliar...this is the Hunger Games. Love isn't an option." I had never understood love but I knew you couldn't have it in somewhere like this.
"But Loren, I love her."

Vidia Ciele

District 2, 18, Female

I wipe the falling tears from my face as I walk in the direction Brooke told me Kliar had gone. I wasn't a fool, it doesn't take someone 15 minutes to go to the bathroom. Kliar had gone, he had left me heartbroken. I choke on a sob. How could he do this?

Just like my sister, I had gotten love in the way of victory and that would end now. No one here was my friend, they all want to kill me and I had forgotten that because of Kliar. He had almost cost me my life, and worse, my victory. I clench my fists and bite back a scream of rage.

I enter a clearing and see 2 girls lying down and a girl and a boy leaning against a tree. Loren and Kliar. I want to cry and leave all my hurt and sorrows but there was only one way to end this. I take a knife from my belt and throw it, perfect shot as always I think as it lands in Kliar's heart. If I thought positive then this would be a blur but as I hear the cries from Loren, I can't help but let out my sob.

BOOM!

The cannon sounds and Kliar is dead. Mission complete, I think but if it was, why do I feel so terrible?

I walk back into the cornucopia, barging Caesar out the way and lifelessly fall onto my sleeping mat. I stare at where Kliar was just sleeping, where we just kissed, where we could be know if Kliar hadn't ruined it but Kliar didn't just ruin our love, he'd ruined me.

Woahhhh! Finally, I got this chapter out. The night chapters most likely won't be as long as the day but just as spicy.
