A/N: I was just wondering if anyone had any creative ideas for mutts?
Dylan Angel
District 4, 18, Male
What a crap day. I stare at the beautiful face of Brooke in the sky and pound my head against a tree, not just that but I had let a tribute go! That little boy has no idea what's coming for him. I tread along the sand, why couldn't they just let me out of this shithole already? Almost immediately, something catches my eye, blood. It must've been that scratch that boy had gotten, I smile maliciously.
"I'm coming, little boy," I whisper under my breath, giving myself the chills.
I follow the blood out of the bushes and by the lake, as it gets darker it's harder to notice, good thing I always eat carrots. That's what my mom always said, I remember her soft and gentle voice singing me to sleep. I hope she would be proud of me.
I reach another forest of bush and cacti and sigh as I dive in. There is no way I'll be able to see what's coming.
Reuben Boyle
District 8, 12, Male
We were all starving so we had gone into the forest to find some cacti cucumber or berries. I know that neither of them is healthy or even good for you for that matter but I can't help being this hungry. Lex has been more silent than usual, I assume it's because of Brooke's death. I don't get why he's so upset, he killed 2 careers. Doesn't that prove he can win? I killed an innocent girl...a tear develops in my eye and drips down my cheek.
We find a cactus and I do the process of getting the water and then handing out the cucumber. Cactus water would have to do for now, even though it's probably worse than no water.
"I hear something." Lex whispers and I freeze, turning my head slowly. Lex jumps to his feet, in search of the noise.
"Lex." I hiss but he doesn't listen. I look over to Harrick, who crouches beside me, and he shrugs his shoulders and starts to follow him. "Guys!" I sigh and rush after them
I catch up to Lex who puts his finger to his mouth and looks behind a tree, I hear some voices and see Loren, Nevaeh, and Sapphire in a clearing. Nevaeh is sound asleep and Loren and Sapphire are talking. I wave for them to come back and they both do.
Phew, we are going to avoid an incident.
I think too soon as Harrick places his foot on a fallen twig from a dying bush. Crack. I stop in my tracks, my feet are frozen to the ground. I don't think they heard us.
Nevaeh Rechwhal
District 11, 15, Female
Loren springs into action at the sound of the twig snapping, she raises her bow at the direction of the noise.
"Who's there?" She asks, "who the hell is there?" She repeats, this time louder. No one answers and so she shoots into the darkness, there's a scream. Her arrow hit.
"Harrick!" A voice cries.
BOOM!
My heart pounds as the small boy from 8 charges at me, I don't know what to do so I just stand there but before he reaches me, Sapphire plunges a knife into his heart.
BOOM!
The cannon sounds immediately after and tears drop from my eyes as I see the small boy, lifeless on the ground.
Sapphire Rose Richmonne
District 1, 17, Female
I and Loren stand prepared for Lex to come but he doesn't, I sigh as I look around at the body of Reuben and the body of Harrick in the distance. Nevaeh looks traumatized, she stares at Reuben and tears drop from her eyes.
"Nevaeh, I'm so sorry..." I say and she looks up trying to put on a brave face.
"Y-you saved me." She sniffs, nodding. I know she's trying to convince herself that I did the right thing.
Loren sits down after a couple of minutes and I follow but Nevaeh just stands there until the hovercraft comes and takes Harrick and then Reuben. Everything starts to feel normal until I see a sword poking out of Nevaeh's chest, she screams and so does I. I grab the knife beside me and throw it at the figure behind her, it lands directly in between his eyes.
BOOM! The figure's cannon sounds and Loren scrambles over to Nevaeh. She breathes heavily and I stroke her hair,
"It's okay. It's okay, Nevaeh. You'll be okay." She shakes her head and shivers.
"You can't die now." Loren whimpers.
"Yes, it's my turn to be a star." She says her final words.
BOOM!
"Look," Loren says and turns to me, I see tears in her eyes. "It's the final 5 and I don't want to kill you nor do I want to see you die..."
"We should split up," I whisper, finishing her sentence.
"I think it's for the best, Sapphire."
"I agree."
"You do?" She sounds surprised.
"I'm going to the lake."
"I'll go towards the cornucopia."
"Goodbye."
"Bye..."
I leave, not wanting to feel any more of this pain.
Vidia Ciele
District 2, 17, Female
I dream of my kiss with Kliar and staring into his eyes, only to wake up in sobs. Suddenly, I hear breathing and go silent.
I creep towards the door of the cornucopia and stare out into the darkness, I don't see anyone until they start to move again and I know exactly who it is.
"I've been waiting for this moment." I laugh and step out to reveal myself to Loren.
"Vidia...Vidia!" She screams and points an arrow at me.
"You think you can kill a trained career?"
"I'm trained as well, and I am angry."
"I am angry too, he loved you. He betrayed me."
"What...Kliar?" She questions, confused.
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about!" I scream and throw a spear, it hits her in the shin and she stumbles back. She shoots an arrow at me and it lands in my arm but I merely take it out.
"He loved you." She screams.
"Don't lie to me!" I scream back. Why won't she admit it?! I am furious and so I take another spear from the rack beside me and plunge it into her stomach. She screams and cries with agony and pain.
"He was asking me for advice."
"On what?" I ask
"On what he should do because he didn't want to see you die...he was going to come back to you."
"No, no that can't be true." I can't be wrong? Tears flood my face and blur my vision. What if I am wrong.
BOOM!
Loren's cannon sounds and I fall to my knees, shaking her.
"No, I'm sorry," I shout and begin to do CPR but I'm too late.
I am a monster. These Games have broken me.

After, Jean you were so frightened and obviously you weren't in a good enough headspace to win. I love your relationship with Jean and you've really grown on me so it was sad having to kill you. I'm going to miss writing you. RIP.
9th- Reuben Boyle (D8M) - Killed by Sapphire Rose Richmonne (D1F) - Stabbed in the heart - Reuben, oh Reuben. Reuben was definitely one of my favorite forms and I know loads of people saw him as a bloodbath but I thought of him as so much more. He was so kind and intelligent and even he knew he had a small chance of winning. You and Lex had the cutest relationship and I'm sure he'll miss you just as much as I will. RIP.
8th- Dylan Angel (D4M) - Killed by Loren Tryler (D5F) - Arrow pierced through his brain - Ah, Dylan. Oh, you are one of the best careers. I don't know how the academy chose you with you being so oblivious but at least you can see Brooke now. To clear it up, Dylan was in search of Friday when he stumbled into the Girl Power Alliance and murdered Nevaeh. Goodbye, Dylan. RIP.
7th- Nevaeh Rechwhal (D11F) - Killed by Dylan Angel (D4M) - Stabbed through the chest by a sword - The baby of the Girl Power Alliance! Loren and Sapphire risked their lives to keep you alive but unfortunately, they failed. You were such a good character and I'm sad I couldn't go deeper into your personality and backstory because it was so good and would've been so fun to explore. Saoirse is probably crying right now. RIP.
6th- Loren Tryler (D5F) - Killed by Vidia Ciele (D2F) - Bled to death after gaining severe wounds - Loren! One of my favorite characters, for sure and I know I say that a lot. I wish I had given you more time looking back on it but I'm happy how you turned out. I know most people expected you to be Victor and you were definitely a contender but I think it was good that you had that chat with Vidia. RIP.
