Eeekk, next chapter in the bloodbath. I have it all planned out and I have to kill off some great characters so please don't get angry. I tried to be realistic. These POV's are short because I had to fit six POV's into a small amount of time. Hence why three happen at the same time. It doesn't mean I don't like the characters. As for the District Eight tributes, I completely forgot their interviews. This is what happened.
Tobias was dressed in a yellow suit and had a translator. He promised that he would have a speaker by the Games. He was liked and gained a few sponsors from it.
Loveless was dressed in a tight fitting baby blue dress that was covered in fake diamonds. Her interview was average but she gained a few sponsors due to her looks.
I am also sorry I spelt Selina's name wrong, I keep forgetting how it is spelt haha.
Acacia Quinn POV:
Hix hugged me tightly as my stylist ran around me, getting the last pieces of my outfit together.
"Your jacket is thermal, so it will get cold...your pants are thin so there won't be much wind...your boots support your ankles so you will be expected to do a lot of running on uneven ground and it's all waterproof so expect rain," my stylist said placing the dark red, thermal jacket over my tight, long sleeved jumper. Once they had placed it on my shoulders, I pulled away and continued to hug Hix. I didn't want to leave her, I didn't want to leave my mother. I wanted to be at home, laid on my bed, reading a book and getting lost in the magical story it told. I felt mean for thinking it but I would rather anyone be in my place. They would have been through all of this but at least I would have been safe. It sounded selfish but I wasn't going to win this any other way.
"Not matter what happens, no matter what you see in the bloodbath, run and don't look back...I can't protect you anymore after this, you have to do that by yourself," Hix whispered. I pulled away and looked up at her, my eyes full of tears. She offered a small smile and wiped them away before stroking my hair.
"Ten seconds until launch," a woman's voice called out. Hix started to cry and so did my stylist. I turned to walk towards the tube, my body shaking and tears falling. I stepped inside the tube and looked up.
"We will miss you," my stylist sobbed, blowing his nose. I ain't dead yet.
River Phoenix POV:
"There will be a bomb under your podium so, don't move," my stylist said said, fitting my light brown jacket. I held my arms out as he did so.
"You won't have to worry about that with me," I laughed gesturing to my back brace. She gave me a soft smile and ruffled up my hair then put it back in place. It was slicked to the side, she said it made me look cute.
"You shouldn't have to die, the world needs more people like you, you don't let anything get in your way," she was wrong, it did, every day of my life. My back restricted me from doing so many things and now it most likely it would get me killed. However, my mentor told me to keep a bright outlook.
"Well I don't plan to die if I can help it," I sighed kicking at the stone ground beneath me, I wondered if the citizens from Two had made it. Their tributes were twisted and sadistic but there people were just like everyone else, being worked to death just to build the structures that lead to their children's death.
"Ten seconds until launch," The voice made me angry. I didn't want there to be ten more seconds, I never wanted the bloodbath to happen. Even if I had to be stuck in the same moment forever, at least none of them could ever get me.
Aziel Moore POV:
"Promise me one of you will win, please?" Lujza asked, he had decided to say goodbye to me as I got the higher training score. It angered me, just because I scored higher than Oliver didn't mean he should be left without any advice or a goodbye. I didn't welcome his company, he was a cold, mean man who only cared about the victory. "It gets lonely around her and I am not a very good mentor, I need someone else," he sighed, I was about to laugh about it but I could see in his eyes, he meant it. He had to have some humanity, otherwise the Capitol hater, Amira, wouldn't have got engaged to him. Maybe he was only a jerk night percent of the time.
"I will try," I whispered back, a small smile forming on my mentor's face.
"Don't try and help anyone-"
"I won't-"
"You volunteered to save your friend, you will," he laughed, I wanted to prove him wrong but I knew if the time came, I wouldn't be able to leave someone I cared about. "You have your alliance with Oliver, don't trust anyone or anything, everyone and everything is there to kill you," he said, placing his hand on my shoulder and looking into my eyes. Amira was a lucky woman when it came to looks. He was very dashing, just his personality let him down. I just hoped I made it back to admire him again.
Finley Magik POV:
"You can't make the world your enemy," my stylist sighed as I put on my own jacket.
"No, but you put me through this," I growled. Myself and Bug had decided to keep the alliance just us two, it was a good offer from Ashton, Neki and Finch but a big group would draw more attention thus leading more dangers. Plus, the two boys disliked The Capitol and that was a group of people I didn't want to start a fight with.
"Ten seconds until launch," I turned without saying a word and stepped into the tube.
"You can win-"
"I know I can," I grumbled as the tube closed around me. As much as I disliked my stylist, I didn't want to leave them. I wanted to stay with them and stay away from The Games and the death. I wanted to be back with my gang and family. I missed them all so much.
The floor of the tube started to raise, my crying cheering stylist being replaced with concrete walls. The walls stayed in view few more second until a dull light filled the inclosed space. I squinted slightly as the I came to a stop. I felt sick as I looked around. A urban arena? I had a chance, this? I could feel my chances decreasing by the second.
Neki Ompoto POV:
We, along with the cornucopia, was situated in a forest clearing. If you could even call it a clearing. The oversized trees left a slight opening in the canopy above, allowing a small amount of light onto the forest floor. The ground around the cornucopia was dry but the ground around us and throughout most of the forest bogged down and muddy.
"Fifty nine," the countdown sounded as I tried to take in as much of the arena as I could. If they were going to try and kill me, I would just have to prove them wrong. I would win, then they wouldn't be able to punish me ever again.
The tree's around us were the largest I had seen in my whole life. They dwarfed us and the cornucopia and seemed taller than the tribute building itself.
"Redwood," the boy from seven said to himself as the countdown ticked down. I was trained but I was still frightened, we didn't have tree's like this back home and they didn't look like they had fruit or nuts. I couldn't climb them either unless I had some sort of equipment. I regretted not trying to ally with the pair from Seven, they would have come in handy.
"Thirty eight," The girl from One started clapping her hands next to me, I hadn't noticed her until now and my gut fell. At least she wasn't the male from Two, but still didn't mean she wouldn't go after me.
My father had taught me morse code as part of my training, the rebels used it a lot so out of fear, I listened to the clapping. I was right, it was morse code. After a few moments her brother and Atlas replied with a simple okay. At least it wasn't me they were going after.
Ashton Khell POV:
"Fifteen," They couldn't do this, we couldn't just sit around and let them use them like their little puppets. I would kill and I would break families apart but I would make it up to the Districts. People were more likely to follow a victor rather than a frightened tribute. If I could win, I could free all of us from these Games. I could show the people of The Capitol how cruel it really was and they would join with me. I could crush The Capitol and create a new tomorrow.
I looked over to my allies, Finch was far away from Atlas and I so at least she was safe. Neki was close to the female from District One which was worrying. However, careers went for the stronger tributes so if anything I had the largest chance of going down. I was placed next to Atlas he wouldn't stop glaring at me. He was out for Finch so it made sense that he would go for her ally. He would have to catch me first. I gave him a smile, I promised myself that I would bring the careers down and he was included in that.
"Two, One!" I got ran when the gong sounded, then all hell broke lose.
