Okay so sorry it took forever to update. Anyways, please R&R folks, I like hearing what you have to say. So, review. Anyways, this is dedicated to the people who did actually review. And I wrote half and my little sister wrote the other half. Um, am I rambling? Yes, of course I am. Okay, I'll shut up so we can get to the story.


Sam, Astrid, Diana, Drake, Caine, and Lana all stared awkwardly at each other. They had no idea what to do. They were bored out of their minds. Little Pete unforenatly did not send them back home to where they belong/lived unhappily.

"This is boring," Caine declared. "Can't we do something fun? Like, I don't know throw Sam into a tree, or I don't know, actually try to win these so-called 'games' instead of just sitting here and staring awkwardly at each other, because it's getting quite disturbing."

"One: You throw me into a tree and I'll burn you," Sam retorted. "Two: No. We will not try to win the 'games.' Three: Astrid come up with an idea so we will stop staring awkwardly at each other and so Little Pete can pop us back into the FAYZ so that I can continue on with my duties as mayor."

"I thought you hated being mayor," Astrid replied. "Oh well, um, how about we split up?"

"So we don't have to work together anymore?" Drake asked.

Astrid nodded. "Um, yeah. Caine, Diana, and Drake are ne group and then Lana, Sam, Little Pete, and I are another group. How's that? Problem is solved."

"Then let's go," Caine said to his group.

The Coates trio walked away.

"Hey where's Lana?" Sam asked after the Coates trio walked away.

Astrid looked around. Lana was nowhere in sight. "And there were three," Astrid joked, but Sam didn't really find it funny.

"There's some good news. If Little Pete decides to poof us back in the FAYZ, we won't have Caine, Diana, and Drake. However, the bad news is we won't have Lana either. So I guess we should find her, so that way when Petey decides to poof us back, we'll have her, and still no Caine or Drake."

Astrid nodded. "Okay, then let's go."

Katniss's leg hurt like crap from the stupid fire. She should've known that she walked into a trap. She wondered how those kids were doing. She wondered if they were all right. Part of her would feel guilty if something happened to them… even though they didn't belong here, and everyone was becoming and enemy to Katniss. Those kids that randomly poofed here were her enemies. Everyone in the arena was.

Everyone was an enemy these days. Even Peeta, since he betrayed her and went to the Careers.

Katniss's leg hurt so bad. Part of her was scared that if she moved away from the fire then she'd run into the careers, and she didn't want that to happen.

"You need some help?"

Katniss turned and saw one of the girls that had poofed here. She wasn't Diana or the one with the little brother. She was a different one. Katniss couldn't remember which one this was.

"What can you do?" Katniss asked. "It's not like you could heal my wound or anything. Where are the others that you were with?"

The girl shrugged. "They split up. I don't get along with Caine, Drake, or Diana, and I don't mind Sam, but Astrid bothers me, so I walked away. I was getting annoyed with all of them anyways." She paused to take a breather. "And I can heal your wound. I am a healer after all. It's my gift. Back at home I was called the 'Healer' but whatever you do, do not call me that."

Katniss nodded. "Okay if you can heal, then heal my burn. Anyways, what's so wrong about the others? Can you tell me about every single one of them? What's your name?"

The girl put her hand on Katniss's burn and said, "My name is Lana. Lana Arwen Lazar. I don't really know Diana or Caine much, but what I heard about Diana is that she's manipulative. What heard about Caine is that he's an egomaniac and a cold-blooded killer. That's what I heard about him. Drake is a psychopathic sadist. Get in his way and say bye-bye to the world. Sam, he's a hero. He tries hard, but he feels like he fails all the time. Astrid is a genius. She's a know-it-all." Lana pulled her hand of Katniss's wound and it looked like there had never been a wound there at all. "There. All better."

Katniss smiled. "Thanks. I guess I better go fight in the games now."

Katniss stood up and started to way away, but she turned back and said, "Do you want to have an alliance? Since you don't really know what's going on, I could help you around and all. Besides, it's good to have someone on your side who can heal you."

Lana laughed. "Sure. It's not like I can find my way out of here. I'm stuck here, anyways."

Katniss nodded. "Well, good, I guess, but we got to be careful of the Careers."

"Careers. You said something about them before, so what are they? Who are they?"

"Careers are the people who've been training to be put into the Hunger Games since they were kids. They usual volunteer to get into the Games. The careers are districts 1, 2, and 4. I'm from district 12. There are only twelve districts that surround the Capitol."

"Guess there's a lot that I need to learn about these Games. There's some history behind this, isn't there?"

Katniss nodded "Oh yeah."

And that was the start of a beautiful alliance.

Caine was glad to have split up from Sam and Astrid. Now he could have Drake kill them without feeling the slightest bit of guilt. Anyway, it's not like they were going to run into anyone that would actually want to kill them, besides it seems like there were no computation in these killing games anyway.

"This was such a genius plan," Diana spoke. She always had to say something sarcastic. "We don't know where the hell we're going and people are going to probably want to kill us. And why out of all places did Astrid's little brother have to poof us here? Why couldn't he poof us to Hawaii instead?"

"I prefer to be here then Hawaii," Drake said, and Caine partially agreed.

"Of course you would, Drake. I would love to see one of the people that belong here kill you. It would be so nice to see that."

"Not if I kill you before they have a chance to kill me. And if I kill them before they have a chance to kill me."

Caine rolled his eyes. He wished he had earmuffs so that way he would let them continue to bicker, but sadly, he did not have earmuffs. So he had to stop the fight, "Shut up. Both of you. Now. And no complaining either, DIANA."

Drake stuck his tongue out at Diana, so she said, "Really? Drake? Really? You are so immature. Can I go back and join Sam and Astrid's side? There's no Drake there."

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

Diana rolled her eyes. "Of course you were going to say that."

Caine grinned. "Expect nothing less."

"Okay, well can we find people to kill?" Drake asked, obviously annoyed with them. "I haven't killed anyone in a while… it's quite boring."

"Yeah, sure. It's not like we have anything better to do. Diana, if we find anyone that we haven't met, read them. I want to know if they have any powers that we don't know about."

Diana nodded.

The continued to walk and they finally came upon a group of people. These people looked like they actually did belong here. This was just what Drake needed.

"Who the hell are you guys?" said a boy. Caine counted four boys and three girls. "None of you guys belong here."

Diana tossed her hair. "No, we don't," she agreed. She shook the guys hand and shook her head back at Caine. She let go of the random boys hand. "I'm Diana Ladris. We're from this place called the FAYZ. Spelled F-A-Y-Z. We belong to a world without adults."

"And I am the ruler," Caine said. They didn't know him. They would believe whatever he had to say. "Then right here is my pal, Drake. You're probably wondering why Drake has a tentacle arm. The reason why is because, Sam, my twin brother, had burned his arm off. Sam and his girlfriend, Astrid, is here too. There somewhere that we don't know about."

"You're outcasts," said a girl. "We should probably get rid of them, shouldn't we?"

The boy, Cato, said, "Yeah, we should. They can't be useful to us anyways. I just want to know one more thing, how the hell did you guys even get here?"

The whole Coates trio burst out laughing. Especially since they acted like they were the ones in control. They so didn't know who the hell they were dealing with.

"We got here because of Astrid's little brother, Little Pete," Caine informed. "Anyways, you should probably know that I can throw across the whole arena if I wanted to. And if I don't feel like doing that, then Drake will kill you. He'll take his time with you too, maybe. He usually does. He did with Sam, AND NOW SAM IS STILL ALIVE, but that's besides the point."

Drake nodded. "I'll whip you till I see bone."

That left everyone there speechless.

Caine laughed. "Looks like you guys have a new boss."
