Author's Note: For the bloodbath, I am writing a bit from EVERY POV so it took some time. Also, for the order I did the same thing I did for the review contest. I was going through my previous chapters and realized I left like, 5 cliffhangers unanswered. I want you guys to know, but how? OK, I'll just post it another time. Keep looking out for news about the unanswered cliffhangers. The last 2 chapters got some negative reviews- sorry, my life is terrible, and I just wanted to post the chapters. Please don't be mad at me. Also, initially I wrote the interviews in Caesar's POV, but decided to switch to Colia's and didn't look it over completely. The training and interviews are things I really wanted to get over with, because I'm so anxious to get to the games. For the review contest, I will write all the usernames who reviewed(that are users, not guests) on pieces of paper(if you reviewed multiple times, I still only wrote your name down once) and the winner is… Unknown. I'm not at 60 reviews yet. But it will still happen if I do get to 60 by the time I post the NEXT chapter.

The sponsorship program:
Food- around 75 points(PM me about what you want to send a tribute, and I'll tell you the price)
Bottle of water- 80 points
Empty container for water- 50 points
Thing of iodine- 70 points
Matches- 50 points
Sleeping bag- 100 points
Medical supplies-around 175 points(PM me about what you want to send a tribute, and I'll tell you the price)
Weapon- around 150 points(PM me about what weapon you want to send a tribute and I'll tell you the price)
PM me about anything I didn't put here and I'll tell you the price
To get points, write a review with ways for me to improve the story(5 points), give me a idea for the story when I ask for it(15 points), and others that I will add. If your tribute makes it to the top 10, you get an extra 70 points, and the way to make your tribute(s) last longer in the games is to review, follow the story and me, favorite the story and me, give me ways to improve the story, and give me ideas for the story. The reason you have to tell me what you want to send a tribute in a PM is because I want to keep what tributes will receive as sponsor gifts a secret. If you tell me what you want to send a tribute in a review, than the tribute will NOT receive a sponsor gift. Ta-da!
Thank you guys so much for reading.
Colia Peridon
The Capitol
The games are starting today. Which means no school! And the beginning of the 75th Hunger Games! I can barely contain my excitement as I watch the tv anxiously and Caesar starts the countdown. 60, 59, 58, 57, 56…
Ean Wood
District 9
The stupid clothing we have to wear feels light and meshy, maybe waterproof. I get into my capsule and soon am getting a full view of the arena. It's tropical, with our pedestals surrounded by water and the Cornucopia in the middle. I hear the countdown. 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50…
Luster Roxen
District 1
This year, I'm going to live. Like Cashmere, and Gloss. I'm going to save Prim, and go to 13, and live. This year, Prim and Aaron didn't reply to our alliance request. We'll see. 49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44...
Aaron Mellark
District 12
All I can think about is the countdown to my death and my promise to Peeta to get Prim out alive, because of Katniss. He really must love that girl. 43, 42, 41, 40, 39, 38…
Grace Hix
District 6
The Cornucopia looks so alluring. But, I can't die. Greco will kill me. I spin around, facing the jungle, the countdown filling my ears. 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32...
Kamber Dawson
District 10
What do I do? Life is terrible and I think I'll die anyways. I see Grace turn around and I do the same, so I can get away from the fighting. 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26…
Anato Chase
District 8
Mom said we have to get Prim out alive, and help her. Tessa is closer to her, and she deserves to live, so I will try to help Tessa and Prim. I know I have to get Tessa out of the bloodbath alive. I position myself toward the water, ready to jump in. 25, the countdown calls. Halfway there. 24, 23, 22, 21, 20…
Cruise Saint-Claire
District 4
The Careers are sticking together. Until we all die. I look around. I know that Coralie and I will be at the Cornucopia first, since we're from 4 and all. Swimming is practically our life. I shift, taking a stance that will be the most beneficial in diving in the water. 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14...
Akina Denare
District 3
Today, I walk to my doom. Or not. Actually, I think I can live through this. If I get to the Cornucopia, I could grab something small and run. The countdown is almost to 0. 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8...
Rosemary Wood
District 9
Everybody seems to be nervous. I am. Also, I want to live. There's 15 seconds left. I'll just run away, to the jungle. I turn around, ready to flee. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Rye Howell
District 11
I need to get to the Cornucopia, and get something to protect myself. But I can't really swim. Uh-oh. Well, I'll try anyway. If I die, well, Seeder is going to kill me. Again. 0, calls the countdown. I hop in, racing for one of the walkways. I manage to reach it, and heave myself up. I race across the walkway and grab a sword from the mouth of the Cornucopia. I swing it around and get Hale in the stomach. He falls down. I pull the sword out and stick it back in. A cannon booms. My first kill. I look up, and the rest of the Careers have me surrounded. Luster steps forward with a smirk as the rest guard her back and the Cornucopia loot. The sword in her hands lashes out and chops off my entire sword arm. Then I've lost the other arm, and she doesn't entirely chop off my legs but comes pretty close. She glares at me.
"This is for Hale," Luster whispers. I see the sword go toward my stomach and feel pain. I manage to see the sword snake forward again toward my throat. A mercy stroke. Then my world goes black.
Jacob Gunn
District 2
After the countdown ends, everything goes wrong.
I make it to the Cornucopia and spot the Careers fighting everybody off. Coralie gets the first kill, the girl from 5, and Luster kills the guy from 6. I turn around in time to see the guy from 11 gut Hale. I scoop up a sword and pass it to Luster. "He's all yours," I say, and Courtney, Coralie, Cruise, and I turn around to guard Luster's back and the Cornucopia. The pathetic kid from 3 comes up, who wanted to ally with us.
"So, have you made your decision?" he croaks. My eyes dart around, and find the girl from 3, his district partner.
"We'll ally with you, if you kill Akina," I answer. I pass him a knife and grab his district partner. "Go ahead, kill her. Or we'll kill you." He takes the knife and cuts her throat. Dead. "Get to the back of the Cornucopia, don't kill us, and we'll talk after this is over," I instruct. In my peripheral vision, I spot the girl from 11 making her way towards the mouth of the Cornucopia. I head over and get her in the back. She drops dead. I see Luster finish with the boy from 11 and turn around. Quickly she kills the guy from 10 who was sneaking up behind her before he could run. Courtney is preoccupied with the guy from 5. The canons begin to go off. 10 people dead. 13 more left to kill.
Tessa Chase
District 8
Once the countdown ends, the bloodbath begins. Beforehand, I saw that Prim is right next to me. I hop into the water and swim over to her. She is in the water and clinging to her platform. I help her swim to shore and wait. Anato said he would meet up with me. Aaron is heading toward the Cornucopia at a very slow pace. The Careers finish slaughtering everybody and inspect what is there. Aaron manages to get away with something and is swimming towards us. Practically everybody is dead or has fled. Anato is waiting in the jungle. We begin to make our way in, trying to find a good place to find food and sleep. Grayson Latier
Grayson Latier
District 3
I know the Careers said they would ally with me if I proved my loyalty, so that's all I think about. The second the countdown hits zero, I race for the Cornucopia. I get there after Hale is dead and Luster is painfully killing the killer. Jacob notices me.
"Have you made your decision?" I ask weakly. He looks around, then smirks.
"We'll ally with you," he told me. "If you kill Akina." Jacob hands me a knife and grabs her, waiting for me to kill my district partner. "Go ahead, kill her. Or we'll kill you," he urges. I take the knife and hesitantly cut her throat. She's dead, but she didn't die painfully. "Get to the back of the Cornucopia, don't kill us, and we'll talk when this is over," he demands. I do so, and wait for the sound of the canons. 10 people dead.
Omri Rollo
District 10
I'm going to win this, and go home to Tule. I'm going to get weapons and kill everybody else. Sadly, with my preoccupation, I missed the ending of the countdown. I scramble off the pedestal and make my way to the Cornucopia. The Careers took over at the mouth, killing everybody near it. I race toward it because I obviously belong with the Careers. When I get there, a couple surround me. Coralie approaches me and uses a tiny dagger that slides across my neck. The world goes black.
Courtney Golding
District 2
I glance around. No Careers near me. Well, we can meet up at the Cornucopia. The countdown ends and I dive into the water. After reaching the Cornucopia, I see Coralie and Cruise already there, along with Luster and Hale. I see Luster snatch up a bow and shoot at the tributes from 6. The girl goes down first, then the guy. Jacob is making his way towards us. Hale dies and Luster takes care of the killer. The bloodbath continues until there's only 2 people left. They split up. I follow Coralie over to the guy from 5 and watch.
Primrose Everdeen
District 12
I can't swim. That's all I can think about when I rise up and see the water surrounding me. I. CAN'T. SWIM. I see Tessa to my right, though, and she can swim. Not very well, but she can. Hopefully, she can help me make it to the beach. The countdown ends and Tessa dives into the water. Aaron is sneaking toward the Cornucopia, and the Careers are taking down the rest. Kneeling down, I hop into the water and clutch the edge of my pedestal, knowing I'll drown if I let go. I hear noise behind me and whip my head around. It's Tessa. She grabs my arms and wraps them around her neck, to bring me to the beach. I hang there as we approach the shore. We fall onto the sand in relief, but look up when we hear something going on at the Cornucopia. Somebody managed to get something from the Cornucopia, and was swimming towards us. I instantly relax when I see it's Aaron. He meets us on the beach. Then, I spot Anato at the treeline, waiting. The 4 of us enter the jungle in search of a place to sleep, food, and water.
Spectra Dovina
District 7
I am planning on heading to the Cornucopia to meet up with Bellya and grab something. I wait for the countdown and leap off my pedestal, plummeting into the water. I swim over to one of the walkways and haul myself up, sprinting for the mouth of the Cornucopia. And then somebody else pushes me off the walkway to pass me. I look up and see people dying left and right. Then I see Bellya fall. Ok, this was a bad decision. I turn around and swim for the jungle, racing into the unknown. Time to find a place to camp.
Greco Hix
District 6
I scan the area. Grace isn't in sight. The Cornucopia is filled with weapons. The countdown ends. I hop in the water and swim to a platform. I spot a bow being drawn, and a arrow is released. Grace jumps in front of me and goes down. A second arrow is fired. My last thought is of Grace as my body collapses and the arrow sinks into my heart.
Lyla Logan
District 5
The bloodbath. Ugh. James said to try to grab something, but avoid the fighting. I instantly am in the water once the countdown goes off. I race onto the walkway and sprint. Sadly, a Career got there first. I watch his smirking face as the knife cuts into my throat. I slump the the ground and the world fades away.
Ash Merwin
District 7
Great. The bloodbath. Killing extravaganza. There goes my shot at making it out alive. I decide to try to avoid it, spinning around to face the jungle and letting myself fall into the water. I flail around and manage to get to where I can reach the bottom. I take a last look at the Cornucopia, longing for a axe, and disappear into the jungle.
Hale Stone
District 1
This year, I am going to win. I spot the other Careers, waiting for the countdown to end. It finally reaches zero, and we're all in the water. Coralie and Cruise are at the Cornucopia first. I reach it, snatch a sword from the mouth, and whirl around. That measly girl from 5 is behind me. I lash out and cut her throat. After she falls, I move forward and trip, sprawling forward. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my back. Turning around, I see the guy from 11 standing over me with a knife. He grins, clearly happy. The knife moves forward awkwardly and is slid across my throat. I watch Luster walk over, a gleam in her eyes, as my life ends.
Coralie Odair
District 4
Cruise and I are the first to reach the Cornucopia because of our swimming skills. I grab a short sword and turn around to help fight off the other tributes. Hale, Luster, Courtney, and Jacob reach it after us. People fall, including Hale, sadly. I kill two- the last two- the guy from 10 and the guy from 5. We fought and killed, until the cannons boomed. 10 dead. 10 lives destroyed.
Alder Dawnfall
District 5
Racing to the Cornucopia, I realize I made a terrible decision. There are only 2 non-careers at the Cornucopia, including me. Coralie saunters forward, a sword in her hands. I look up, my eyes filled with pleading. It cuts me in the belly. Then I lose my hands. I fall forward, praying she'll give me mercy. She does. The sword cuts my throat and I lose my shot at getting out alive.
Bellya Virgo
District 11
Aunt Emilia told me to run for away from the Cornucopia. I decide instead to run forward, because I have no shot at winning, and I will get a quicker death at the bloodbath. I surge forward and make it to the Cornucopia. Looking around, I spot the guy from 2 holding a sword, and move over to him. His weapon slashes across my neck. My life is over.
Author's Note: First, a list of the dead:
Lyla Logan- She was cute and sweet. I loved her the moment I got her submission, but you have to kill people in the hunger games, and she was a bloodbath tribute. RIP, Lyla
Grace Hix- I find it unfortunate that Grace died before Greco. Grace was so innocent, and willing to sacrifice herself for her brother.
Greco Hix- He was going to save her. How cute, but she tried to save him. They're both dead. Sadly. But people had to die.
Hale Stone- Out of all of the Careers, I liked him the least. I was encouraged by my friends to give an outlying district a kill until he gets killed himself.
Ean Wood- One of the bloodbath tributes, simply because he was submitted last. I killed off a lot of the later submitted tributes.
Akina Denare- I never really felt a connection with this character. I don't really understand her, and it was hard to write with her, so I thought it would be easier to simply kill her.
Bellya Virgo- Didn't feel a connection with this character either. You might think I'm a terrible writer for killing characters I couldn't connect with, but you try writing with someone you don't understand or connect with.
Rye Howell- I killed this character because my friend submitted him, and wanted him to die after killing a Career. I still connected with him and didn't want to kill him, but I needed another death. Sorry, Rye
Omri Rollo- Another tribute submitted by a friend. And a bloodbath tribute. So, naturally, he had to die.
Alder Dawnfall- Didn't connect with this character, didn't feel like he was going to last anyways. Unfortunately, he died.
RIP. Sorry. They were always going to die. I have a doc called Bloodbath that I planned out the beginning of the games with, using 3 letters to represent each tribute(DXG) X stands for that tribute's district, and G stands for that tribute's gender. Sorry if that makes no sense. I even had a list of who they were killed by. Here is the current kill list(I think-I might have gotten this wrong):
District 1:
Luster Roxen: Grace, Greco, Rye
District 2:
Jacob: Bellya
District 3:
Grayson Latier: Akina
District 4:
Coralie Odair: Omri, Alder
Cruise: Ean,
Deceased Kill List:
District 1:
Hale: Lyla
District 11:
Rye: Hale
We're finally at the games! Okay, to explain the review contest: NO sponsor gifts can be submitted until the next chapter is up EXCEPT for the winner of the contest. The winner will receive a PM from me about how they won and 200 sponsorship points that they can only use for the next chapter, along with their own sponsorship points to send gifts in the next chapter. Thanks so much for reading!
