Just a little note before we start. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS XD. One chapter I'm being asked for more of the careers, next chapter I'm being asked for less. Hopefully this chapter has a good balance. Also, I know I haven't updated in a while. I had to get a refresher, ya know? I'm back into it now so...Let's get into it!
~~Ambrosia McIntosh District 11 Female~~
Oh shoot. Nathan's dead. Well, at least that gives me one less tribute to worry about. The icecream, soup, and rolls were tucked away in my pack, which seemed to be getting heavier by the minute.
I usually don't feel that way, even when I'm tired, which I'm not. Now confused, I stopped for a moment and slung my pack in front of me.
"So that's the problem," I muttered to myself with a smile.
A paracute was hanging off of the bag, a small capsule weiging it down. I leaned against a tree, and opened the capsule. When I looked inside, I couldn't believe my luck! Sitting inside the leather-lined metal was a bottle of water and a slingshot. A slingshot!
I could care less about thr water, the pond was nearby, but a slingshot? Imagine the kills I could make with this thing! I could be ready immediately, without having a quiver on me full time. A slingshot is honestly thr deadliest weapon in the games.
I yawned, just now realizing that I didn't sleep at all the night before. Tiredness washed over me like a wave; I found a sturdy tree, and climbed up to the high branches.
I had just enough time to take off my pack before I fell asleep.
~~Emily Lynch District 10 Female~~
It's been a while since I've seen the surface. I don't know who is dead or alive. Heck, I don't even know who survived the Bloodbath.
I ran my hand across the dirt wall, beginning to worry. The few supplies I managed to collect were running out dangerously quickly. I probably had enough water for another day, a single stale cracker, and no weapon.
The thing is, I hate to admit it, but I'm lost. I don't know my way back to the surface. I had remembered the rule for mazes-follow the left wall. So I am, running my hand against it just in case.
I let out a sigh of relief as I caught a glimpse of light up ahead. A glimpse of sunlight. I sprinted ahead, making my way out of the tunnel bit by bit.
To be honest, I had begun to miss the surface. The sun seemed really bright to me, and I ended up leaning against a pine for a few minutes with my eyes shut tight. I slowly opened my eyes, and began rapidly blinking.
I began walking around when I heard a slight shuffle from above. I stopped, thinking it may have been my own two feet. I still heard it as I stood silent though, so I glanced up.
A smile spread across my face as I saw Ambrosia's backpack. It was in front of Ambrosia, but she was fast asleep. Easy pickings for a girl like me. Taking a deep breath, I planted my hands onto the bark, and lifted myself up. Up, up, up, branch by branch. I was hanging right beside the girl, so close I could feel her breath. Adrenaline coursing through my veins, I stepped out in front of her. I opened up my arms, extending them like a bird as I walked across the branch. Heart pounding in my ears, I reached down and grabbed the pack, looking through it. The only thing I left was the icecream. Coconut, disgusting.
I was about to slowly lower myself down when I slipped. I started falling through the air, flailing wildly. The ground came closer at dangerous speeds, the wind trying to keep me up. After what felt like a million years, I crashed onto the ground. My side suddenly flared, and I knew I must have broken at least one rib. I groaned myself up, and began crawling on the forest floor. I slipped into the bushes before I passed out from the pain.
~~Jordan Flanagan District 4 Male~~
"Jordan, wrong way!" Beautiful snapped.
I froze up. Wasn't I following his directions? Yes, he specifically said to make a right turn at the MilliexMiles tree. Is he saying I don'y know my left from right? Of course I know! What am I, five? Maybe he's the one wrong.
"Jordan, I swear, once I get the chance..." Beautiful didn't get to finish that thought before he fell over.
Cascade, Zara, and I stood there, scared to see what it was. It was a knife, and the cannon shot was heard in the distance, but we didn't know where it was coming from. Suddenly, Miles and Millie came running out of the bushes, swords in both their hands.
"Run," Zara whispered to me.
"Run?" I asked.
Zara grabbed me, and we began rushing through the forest. Trees flew by, and without looking back we could tell that Milies was on our tail.
Do we run, or fight? That was the question going through our heads as the trees went by faster and faster. Suddenly, Cassie stopped.
"CASCADE!" I hollered, stopping as well.
"SHHHH!" She scolded.
I listened, but no sound came.
"There's nothing here. No sound, no nothing," I muttered.
"Exactly!" Cascade sighed. "That means we lost Milies!"
"Milies?" Zara asked with a smirk.
"Oh, and you can think of a better ship name?" Cascade told Zara with a glare.
"Guys, let's just be happy we're alive, k?" I asked hopefully.
~~Julian Grayson District 2 Male~~
"Velvet! SHUSH!" I hissed as she stepped on a twig.
Velvet and I were on resource duty, while the others went out and fought. I would've gone with them, but face it. I'll kill literally everything I see. We need to go a bit slower, so we can drag on the Games longer. When there's a few tributes left I'll join them.
Suddenly, a cannon goes of and Velvet jumps two feet into the air. I laugh, and she glares at me, which only makes me laugh harder.
"S-Sorry Vel," I begin. "But you junped so high!"
"So I did," She grumbled. She shouldered her pack. "Let's go."
We walked through the woods, until we suddenly were surrounded in pure light. We had reached the tiny field in which houses the cornucopia.
"Wow!" Velvet cries, running towards it. "I...I never actually got to go inside!"
I can see her as a Capitol citizen, watching the reenactments and visiting the sites. She seems to love everything about the Games. Then she gasps.
"Julian! Is this where you murdered Manny?" She asked eagerly.
I walked over, nodded, and sighed.
This was going to be a long day.
~~Sierra Moon District 9 Female~~
"Bera, come on!" I called.
Bera rushed towards me with a smile.
"Hi, Si!"
I suddenly notice something off.
"Bera? Are you alright? Do you feel sick?" I asked urgently. She usually doesn't act this childish.
"Oh, yeah, totally fineeeeee," Bera drags out.
"Bera, I think you're sick!" I cry out.
"Whatever do you meannn?" she asks with a smile.
I do a quick calculation in my head, and I decide that her illness can either Gihutyitus or gertuindhomia. Each will fall under simple medicine. You won't die from either sickness, but it helps to not have it.
"Bera," I demand, holding out my arm. "Link."
She obediantly agrees, taking her arm in mine. I curse under my breath, then smile.
"Okay Bera, we're gonna play a little game called Follow Si! Okay?"
"Alright Si!"
I'm about to tell her to climb a tree when the amthem plays.
"Watch," I say instead.
~~A Moment of Silence, Please~~

Samson Asgolo, District 10

Guys. It was really hard making a ship name for Millie and Miles. I made up Milies, but if you can think of something better please review it!
