Hello ladies and gentlemen! One of my awesomest minions just made a chapter! We got 2 reviews! I am soooo happy! *dances in his seat* Ok, you can read now.

TAMARA

I was bored of the interviews, was that bad? After listening to a countless number of show offs who thought they were the best, and watching them burst into flames or make magical fireworks appear, (who likes fireworks anyways?) I started dozing off. However, when district 7 was called up, I couldn't help but stay awake. Five knives sprung up from the rows and hurled itself straight at Ceaser Flickerman Jr. It seemed as if he would turn into the world's largest shishkabab, but the knives impaled themselves two inches away from his face. I was almost as stunned as he was. You should have seen his expression, there would be jokes about it for decades. Suddenly someone yelled,

"You want a dramatic entrance, well there you go, I gave you one."

A tall heavy set girl lumbered up onto the stage. She had a look of fierceness about her, confident and calculating. I hoped that deep inside she actually was a scared little girl, if not, I was going to be the one who actually got impaled.

"Well that was an excellent surprise," Flickerman Jr. stated, but I could tell that he was trying to let his seething anger subside. He had to keep a reputation for keeping calm in all situations and not exploding (which I personally thought would be the best entertainment yet.)

"I know it was," said the girl tribute, "except it wasn't as much as a surprise as it was a warning to all you measly little tributes out there, I will claim victory."

She stared us all down, and I immediately knew she was out for the kill. Saige Butcher (what a suitable last name) explained, or rather yelled that she was the daughter of Ares and she had a way with weapons, her so called power was that she could change weapons. She could make a knife, into a spear, and a spear into a sword and vice versa. However, she made it quite clear that she didn't need a power to destroy us…or so she stated. Before time was up, Flickerman Jr. practically shoved Saige off the stage, quickly calling for the boy tribute. Braxton Vickory (what a name!) waltzed up to the stage as if he owned the world. Once he was standing on the stage, he kept disappearing and reappearing in odd places.

"Oh you have the power of invisibility" Flickerman jr. grinned.

"Nope" said Braxton reappearing "I'm the manipulator of the mist".

He snapped his fingers and Flickerman jr. turned into a frog. Flickerman Jr., or should I say Frogman Jr. jumped up and down frantically. I had to suppress a smile. Flickerman looked pretty funny hopping in terror. A laugh rippled through the audience. Braxton, obviously satisfied with the audience's reaction, snapped his fingers once again, and there stood a very angry, slightly stunned looking Ceaser Flickerman Jr.

He exclaimed, "Well Braxton Vickory, tell us all about yourself." I learned that he was the son of Hecate, and he fought with an axe. Images of axe murders flashed through my head. I would have to be wary of him, being the son of Hecate and using an axe as a weapon. Those combined equaled scary.

The eighth district was called, a girl stood up and half walked and half skipped to the stage. Her name was Barbra Bobbins, and she looked like the mischievous type. Her grin gave her away and I could tell that she was up to something.

"Tell us about yourself!" said Flickerman Jr., obviously pleased that she had not harassed him in any way.

"Well, let's see, I will be fighting with an imperial gold sword, my power is that I can sense traps however hidden they are, and oh ya I am the daughter of Hermes, the god of messages and mischief."

She took a small disk out of her pocket, and threw it to the ground. As it exploded, a foul stench filled the air. Wow, a stink bomb, seriously… I thought to myself how pathetic. Barbra grinned triumphantly as she stepped down back to her seat. Next came Gavin Stoomple, he was dressed in strange attire, his clothing containing bits and pieces of the colour silver. He gracefully walked up to the stage. Flickerman Jr., still holding his nose said,

"So, tell us about yourself."

Flickerman's voice sounded an octave higher than it should have been, thanks to the fact that he was squishing his nose. " Well, my name is Gavin, I do not like to hurt or humiliate innocent people," he said this while glaring at Barbra, Saige, and Braxton. "Unlike most people who are playing in these games I am not a demigod but my patron is Artemis."

My eyes grew wide, from the stories I heard Artemis despised boys, was she now changing her ways? Gavin continued talking, "not only am I excellent at shooting arrows and never missing the bull's-eye I am also a great at healing others, even in a life or death situation," I heard a hint of pride in his voice.

A look of evilness crept across Flickerman Jr's. face. "Show me," he told Gavin.

Quicker than I thought was humanly possible, Flickerman grabbed an arrow from Gavin's pouch and threw it at Barbra. Instantly a scream of pain pierced the silence. The arrow had imbedded itself in Barbra's arm. Gavin dashed towards her and pulled some things from his bag that he had carried to stage with him. Less than a minute later, Gavin walked away and there was Barbra's arm, as good as new.

Flickerman grinned, "Well done" he said. Gavin angrily sat down without saying another word.

"Moving on, district 9, Morgan Glaise," called the interviewer. A girl stood up, she had a look of calmness in her eyes. Striding to the stage, I was amazed by how humble, yet confident she was. As she passed, grass started appearing under my feet. Flickerman Jr., obviously able to tell that she would not pull any nasty tricks, received her nicely. "Tell us about yourself!" He repeated for the 100th time that day. I learned that she was the daughter of Demeter, she carried a dagger for a weapon, and she was able to turn things into plants.

"Please demonstrate," Flickerman boomed. All of a sudden the front row of people turned into ferns. "Oops, sorry!" she stated but I could tell there was a hint of mischievousness in her voice, I realized that I shouldn't underestimate her.

"Please change all those nice people into humans again," Flickerman said with his sweetest voice.

Morgan obliged, but I could tell she was reluctant to. She sat back down, letting the boy tribute, David Cha, know that it was his turn. He moved toward the stage, staring at everyone he passed. Latched onto his shoulder was a mean looking crossbow, something that I did not want pointed at my face. Flickerman Jr. smiled, and asked him who he was and what special capabilities he holds.

"Well," he said, "I am the son of Demeter, but I don't have the power over the plants as some people may suspect but I have power over minds."

Flickerman looked startled, "Sorry you have power over minds?" "Yes!" said David matter-of-factly, "I can read them, and some people right now aren't thinking the nicest things about you."

Flickerman glared at David, "Whatever you read, keep it to yourself." David smiled wickedly and sat back down. Seeing all these people I despaired, if I was to win…I had to win, I would have to kill some of them. How could I bring myself to do it, even if I did lose all my morals and decided to kill innocent people? I was not as strong as all of these people, they could easily dispatch of me. I stopped myself from thinking so depressingly. I will win, I assured myself, I will win.

Thank you for reviewing Morgan and Yaerang! Since Morgan was the forst reviewer, we put her into the games! You people should have updated sooner :P Thanks to the fact that 2 people interviewed, I and my minions are posting another chapter right after this! Thanks for reading!
