Carolyn Scotts

11 Female

I swallow my nervousness and assess the outfit. Tight black pants, a green t-shirt, brown boots and brown arm warmers.

I'm guessing the place we will be in will not be too cold, something I am thankful for. 11 is swelteringly hot and anything else feels freezing.

For the first time since it was amputated I really feel the loss of my arm. The fake limb was incredibly realistic and I have to rely on the idea that I'll get a new one.

I sip a glass of water, waiting for the all clear. Finally I am told to stand in the tube that could- and likely will take me to my death.

I am taken down and I assess the arena.

Let the games begin.

Travis Rodgers

I look around the arena, slightly nervous. On one side of me is the girl from 10, Madhi and on the other side it's the girl from 11, Carolyn.

The arena is.. different but I think I can handle it. I smirk at Ulrich.

Ready.

Siaria Ronans

My low score has unruffled me and my lack of arm even more.

Still, I am a career and I have to focus my rage on someone. Almost directly across from me I see the boy from 11 looking skittish.

He'll be my victim.

I smirk at him, a warning of what's to come but surprisingly he just waves.

Not even losers like him find me scary.

Blake Harley

My leg is unbalancing me but thankfully I don't topple over. That would be disastrous.

Maybe ten feet away I see a fake leg and I know it is my only hope of surviving this fucked up games.

I almost laugh at the mental image of me hopping over but this is no laughing matter. My tears have finally dried and all I feel is determination.

I can win this.

Isolde Prescot

My pedestal is an island. On one side of me is the 12 girl and on the other side is the boy from 6.

The others are all on the over side of the cornucopia.

The boy from 6 looks terrified but the girl looks more confident than anyone else.

Surprising seeing as she got a zero.

What did she even do?!

I look over the cornucopia and see Siaria. She smiles at me 'comfortingly.'

I know better.

Careers don't do comforting.

She's telling me not to screw up.

I won't.

Gregory Watson

I stare around.

The arena is like none other I've seen. It's a city but it looks almost radioactive.

There are buildings that look like you could hide yourself in them but others look like they might fall on top of you.

There are no water sources I can see but there are large rusted pipes which could allude to tap water inside.

Each building looks like a different kind of shop, a butchers, a bakers and even what looks like a small sweet shop.

The buildings seem to get more derelict away from the cornucopia which leads me to believe the Capitol wants us to stay here, in the centre.

I see no animals which makes me suspicious, the Capitol always has mutts up their sleeves.

What horrors could be coming?

Amber Blacksmith

Almost immediately I am at an advantage. Me Carolyn and Natalia are all close to each other. Near me there is both a fake arm and a fake leg that I want to grab for my allies.

Near Carolyn is a bag and even Natalia is near enough food that she can grab it with no trouble.

I begin to suspect foul play but I can't really complain since it works amazingly in our favour. We can't talk at the moment for fear of being overheard but if we all survive we will be set.

I feel ready.

Lysander Reed

I am ready to bolt as soon as the gong rings. I will not have supplies but I may find a weapon in one of the shops and I am ambidextrous so I don't need another hand.

I am a fast runner and I know that if I can get to the end of the street I'll be safe until tonight at least.

My score may raise some concern between the careers do I am likely to be targeted but I am small and unless they can catch me easily I am not the Tribute they'll go for first.

I have a chance.

Maya Klean

For the first time ever I am having doubts.

I am smarter than most of the tributes here but if the careers catch me, I have no chance.

Near me is Hershey-bar and I know that if I can get to him I will be safe.

Even if we are targeted he will make a better shield than 'innocent ol' me.'

I use my hand to ajust my token, once again my bunny ears and smile 'serenely' at everyone.

Cow and Windmill are fairly close together but they are both sandwiched between careers so that's two less people I have to worry about. Rosa looks as calm as I am trying to look and she's an important member of our 'alliance.'

I close my eyes and count to three.

Our time is almost out.

I will survive the bloodbath.

Felix Catharty

I swallow nervously and look at the wristband in my hand. If I chucked it would it trigger the mine?

I wouldn't do that.

Or maybe... If I survive, they'll die anyway.

I decide not to. I don't want to be responsible for an innocent life if I can help it.

Even if it would save my own life.

I see a scythe not too far from where I am and decide to run for it.

If I die, I die and if I live I have a valuable weapon.

I tell myself it's worth the gamble.

Madhi Quick

I get the feeling I won't survive the bloodbath.

On one side of me is the boy from 1 and on the other side the girl from 2. Avy-Anna isn't faring much better. Neither of us have our legs and I can only spot one close by fake one.

She catches my eye and I try to smile. In less than a minute I could be dead.

How will my cows cope?

It is the understandably the first thought I have given to them but suddenly I would give almost anything to be back on my farm.

Almost.

Jacob Perkret

I struggle to keep still but Aunty told me I couldn't move if I didn't want to die. I jiggle my fingers, staying still is painful.

I notice that soon it's time to run and I see an awesome backpack that I know Nuts would love. Aunty told me to get out quickly but she never saw the awesome backpack.

I wonder what Nuts would do. He'd probably go and get it but he's faster than me.

I decide that nothing too bad can happen if I go in and there's no harm in trying. I am just getting ready to run when I hear a boom.

Annette Bonheur

I wait until almost the end to do it.

When I see I only have 10 seconds left I start to panic

I take a deep breath, wish luck to Shaft and step off the podium.

For a second I feel weightless, but then immense pain.

And then?

Oblivion.

We have our first death and I'm sure everyone saw it coming

Eulogy:

Annette Bourreau

District 12 female

ChillyIce

"I close my eyes and the world is beautiful. My parents are there smiling and the sun is shining, but then I open them and reality comes back. A dark reality without a shining sun"

For a while I toyed with the idea that she simply couldn't die!

She stepped off the platform?

It was faulty.

She sacrificed herself to save Shaft from a mutt?

It was only aggressive to boys.

In the end I knew it wouldn't be fair and Annette would hate being the victor.

I loved writing her and I hope I did her justice.

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Extra: Each tribute has a song I think works for them and I'll post the chorus when they die.
