I will put mentor views on the fallen tributes in the next chapter.


Trill Poyze POV:

"Wake up!" I screamed at Heavenly's lifeless body. Her body remained unresponsive to my cries or the burning inferno behind me. I felt for her pulse but it was as steady as always, she must have been skipping through a meadow. I mean, don't mind me, I was only trying to save her life.

A cannon shook the arena, the first of many, "Noah, Daston!" I screamed at the burning forest around me but there was no answer. I looked back over to Heavenly and then back over to the volcano. I only had one choice. I hauled the girl to her feet and then threw her over my shoulder. She was much heavier than I expected and it took all of my strength to lift her up and run with her.

I was much slower than I would have been by myself but I was not about to have a girl's death on my conscious. However, as the smoke got thicker, she seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. It was getting to the point that it was either me or her.

A few metres away from the beach, I found a small cave and placed Heavenly down. I took off my jacket and placed it under her head and left. The cave was underground so there was a chance the smoke and flames might not reach her. Either way, I would be able to find her after this was over.

I ran towards the beach, a large smile on my face as I picked up speed through the undergrowth. Suddenly, a large leg stepped into view. I tried to dodge it but the force of the giant food impacting the ground knocked me down.

I fell to the ground and looked up at the leg's owner. Look down at me was a large, human type mutt with a large smile across his face. I let out a little scream and tried to scramble to my feet but the monster already had his arms wrapped around me.

I screamed and clawed at it's hands but the skin was thick and I accomplished nothing more than tearing each one of my nails from my fingertips. I screamed out in pain, it's grip around my waist becoming tighter by the second. I punched it's face with all my might as it opened it's large mouth. It's teeth were blunt like a human's but it's breath stank of rotten flesh.

"Trill!" I voice called from behind me. I craned my neck until I saw Noah, his body shaking and eyes full of tears.

"Run!" I screamed, still trying to wiggle free, "go to the beach!" he opened his mouth to speak but then just gave a quick nod and ran past me, trying his best not to look back. He was quickly followed by Daniel and Wover.

I closed my eyes tightly as the giant human placed me in it's mouth, rubbing my head gently along his teeth. For the tiny second, I opened my eyes, I saw him closing his mouth around my head. A few seconds later, I felt it. The pain was horrid as I felt his teeth slowly crack through my skull.

"I am sorry!" I screamed towards my District, tears streaming down my face, "I am sorry-" I was cut off when my skull gave away and the monster bit my head clean off.


Wover Breen POV:

I watched as Daniel moved towards Noah and Daston who were collecting water by the stream. He crept towards them, holding the spear he had stolen from me a few hours before. I just wanted all of them to leave so I could quickly run to the stream and get my water.

Daniel pulled back the spear and got ready to throw when the earth started to shake and the sky started to fall. Well, that's what I thought it was at first. When I looked where they were coming from, part of the mountain collapsed and fell on top of the small boy from District 10. He managed to let out a little scream before the rocks hit and entombed him. Blood seeped out through the cracks and a cannon boomed.

Noah, the boy from Seven turned to run, locking eyes with Daniel. The boy gripped his spear tighter but his eyes drifted back to Daston, allowing Noah a few seconds to escape. While Daniel's attention was diverted, I followed suit, running through the forest and aiming for the beach.

Daniel was running behind me, out of breath and clearly terrified as he looked back at the bubbling volcano and the ash that rained from the sky. He had no intention of killing me, he just wanted to get away from it all.

When the beach was in sight, I followed Noah through some bushes that opened into a small clearing. At first, I blocked out the screams but when Noah stopped, his mouth wide with shock. I followed his gaze to a large, human like creature, almost as seven metres tall holding Trill tightly in his hand as he opened his mouth. I refused to look any longer and continued to run towards the beach, trying to block the horrifying creature out of my mind.

As my feet hit the sand, a large hand swung towards me. I only had a few seconds to react, jumping into the air as the hand sweeped under and grabbed Daniel who was only a few feet behind me.

I spun around on my heel, falling into the sand as I looked up at the giant creature, this one had shaggy ginger hair and bright green eyes. Daniel scream, throwing the spear at the creature but the small weapon just bounced off it's skin.

"Help me!" He screamed towards me, his eyes wide and teary. I wanted to help but I couldn't do it. No matter how hard I dreamed, I would not have been able to save the boy. I did the next best things, I furthered my chances.

I ran towards him, the boy relaxing slightly as I picked up the spear and looked up at him. Then I turned and ran towards the water were many tributes had already gathered. He screamed like he was slowly being crushed and I guessed he was as the monster's grip got tighter and tighter the more Daniel struggled.

"They can't touch saltwater!" the boy from Twelve, Altair screamed, waving at me to come closer. Lux, Enoki, Tristan, Keith, Skau, Noah and Andalusia were here but no one was killing each other, they were watching the hell unfold around them. As we did so, were drifted further and further away from the beach, well, all but Skau.

Skau looked back at the water, her blue eyes widening. She turned and ran towards the tree line once again, only to be forced back when a titan ran after her. Keith ran to meet her, holding her in a headlock as he dragged her back to the water, despite her struggling. She was mumbling something so in the end, Keith threw her to the ground, anger in his brown eyes.

"What?" he shouted, clenching his fist.

"The water, it is going out," at that moment, we all turned in unison so see a large wave heading towards us.


Aurum Stark POV:

The wave smashed into us, the strength holding us under water as we were thrown about. No matter how hard I had tried to get to the surface, the current just pulled me down. Although it only was about one minute, it felt like a lifetime. A lifetime of salty water flowing into my lungs as I spun around. I expected it to stop when we reached the beach but it still carried on going until uprooted bushes started to fly past.

As quick as the wave had engulfed me, it had released me, leaving me coughing and spluttering on the forest floor. Sherry was already up and running deep into the destroyed, charred remains of the forest.

I looked over to my right and saw Selena follow suit, making sure to avoid me. I couldn't see Poseidon anywhere but he was a Four, he had most likely surfed the waves.


Tristan Cathflow POV:

I stumbled up the beach, confused, in pain and disorientated. During the wave, four canons had gone off. Despite being conscious at the time, I expected one of them to be me.

As I walked up the beach, I passed the body of the small girl from Five, Lux's District partner. She had been volunteered in here because she killed two people but now, she just looked like a small child. Her body battered and broken as it leant against a tree, her neck bent in an awkward position. Salt water trickled out of her mouth, her blue eyes still wide in shock. It made me wonder if the last thing she ever saw was the trunk of tree coming towards her, too fast to react.

A few more feet, I found Noah hanging from the tree, his body wasn't broken, meaning he must have drowned. I had read somewhere that the human could breathe in salt water for ten minutes, the boy must have never closed his mouth. A few seconds after I spotted him, the tree gave way, falling on top of his body.

Two more dead I thought to myself as I carried on, my eyes trying not to look for dead tributes, but I couldn't help it.

A few seconds later, Lux came crashing through the burnt forest, screaming my name as he carried a small boy in his arms. Enoki.

I rushed over to help as he laid the boy down and started to do CPR once more, like I was sure he did when I found him.

I watched in horror as Lux tried his best to revive the boy, determination on his face as he pumped the water out of his lungs. The less response Enoki gave, the more violent and terrified his actions became.

"Lux," I mumbled but the boy ignored me, continuing in his futile attempt to bring Enoki back to life. "Lux!" this time he stopped and looked up at me, his brown eyes glossy and teary. "He is gone, I have already heard his canon-"

"Maybe that wasn't him-"

"He would have woken up by now, he is gone," Lux let go of Enoki's body and sat down, letting all the fear and horror seep away.

"He-he was just a kid,"he whimpered, trying his hardest not to cry. Little children died all the time in the Games but I guess it never truly hit home until it was a little child you had spent over a week with, got to know his bubbly personality, snarky comment and had saved your life from a volcano and mutts, was lying dead in front of you.

"We all are just kids," I mumbled in reply, trying to act like the calm, brave one in the situation but I really just wanted to punch a wall.

"It's not fair," Lux sobbed, burying his head in his lap and trying to forget the world.


Now the eulogies are going to be short this time because I just don't know what to put. I have got to the stage where I needed to kill A LOT of characters off and it came down to random picks and characters I didn't think I was doing justice. These, sadly are the unlucky guys.

Thanks to CaptainofTheKeep for Altair Mellark and Daston Smart, Yogy2404 for Noah Prones, SlytherinPrincessAtWork77 for Heavenly Aquarius Rose and Andalusia Electra, Norbus95 for Daniel Bo, Carlpopalol for Enoki Smith and FrostedDusk for Trill Poyze. I am sorry they died but I hope you continue to read.


17th-Daston Smart, District 10-Crushed by landslide

He was suicidal but wanted to die by someone else's hand and I was just not sure how to write that. R.I.P Daston, I am sorry you never won and got the help you needed but I don't think you really wanted to win.


16th-Heavenly Rose, District 7-Smoke

I toyed with Heavenly a lot. I backed myself into a corner by having Hap injure her. Even if she had woken up, she would still have been too weak to run from the burning forest. I should have killed her when she was attacked by the careers as I feel I dragged out her character for no reason. Trill tried to save her but sadly, left her in the path of the smoke. R.I.P Heavenly, I am sorry you just became a shell of the character you was, it is my fault.


15th-Trill Poyze, District 11- Eaten by Titan

Trill could have won but she was one of my random picks. I didn't feel I was writing her character to her full potential and the story line I had planned out for her just did not work. R.I.P Trill, I am sorry things went too fast for you to develop.


14th-Daniel Bo, District 3-Eaten by Titan

Daniel was a very engaging character from his form. He was meant to seem stupid up until the Games started when he would be revealed to be a master mind. Sadly, that just didn't work the forf first person as when I tried not to give it away in his POV's, he just came across as a jerk. That's why I hope turning to 3rd person will stop mishaps like with Daniel, happening. R.I.P Daniel, you were a good character who fell victim to my style of writing.


13th-Altair Mellark, District 12-Drowned by Skua

I was pleasantly surprised when people did not compare him to Peeta. Yes, they were related but Altair was very different. I think he was stronger than Peeta mentally and remove the wave and Keith, he could have made it to the end. Sadly, he ran back to the sea after not finding Selena. He was also too close to Skua, a master of swimming, when the wave hit. R.I.P Altair, Peeta made it out and destroyed the Games for both of you.


12th-Andalusia Electra, District 5-Hit tree trunk

She was an amazing character and died purely because it just was not her year. The Games went by too fast, the tributes were too spread out and she got separated from her alliance. R.I.P Andalusia, if I ever do a resurrection Games, I hope to see you back.


11th-Enoki Smith, District 9-Drowned

Enoki, like Andalusia, was a smart character who thanks to the seed of distrust he planted with Bellona during the chariots, he helped bring down the career pack. He knew the signs of a volcano and, like Skua, knew the tide was going out. Sadly, he did not have the strength to win. R.I.P Enoki. You name was to mock the fact I put Enoki, a japanese mushroom in a redwood forest but you were an amazing character.


10th-Noah Prones, District 7- Drowned

He died because he was not willing to kill. What the arena looks like now, killing will be the only thing that gets a tribute out alive. Noah would never betray his faith so it was only right he was put out of his misery before things got worse. R.I.P Noah, you was a good guy and I am sure people at home now understand you would never have raped that girl.


Final 9 and we are only on the third day. Fun.
