So, the first chapter set in the arena! Once more, please PLEASE PM me if you get any ideas, or if you want to buy anything. If you want your tribute to have a map, or anything else, then PM me to let me know and I'll tell you how many points you have.
The interviews passed mostly uneventfully. Allie laughed as she watched Cole play the sad orphan, as ridiculous as it seemed, he was a good actor. Allie felt sorry for him and his little brother. Jade had kept up her game of scaring everyone with her interview, the audience had been looking rather unnerved at the end of her time, maybe something to do with 'This place? This isn't what I'd call the Capitol. This is Hell with fancy lighting.' Another notable tribute had been Dove. You wouldn't have thought so if you looked at her, but the little girl had managed to sum up everyone's feelings. "If I die, I'll just be another Tribute lost in the Games...I want to be remembered..."
Allie always did that when she was scared, thought about stuff, to take her mind of it.
Because she and twenty three other kids were about to go down into the games. They'd soon see the arena, the weapons and weather. Soon half of them could be dead.
The platform jumped and Allie stomach did with it. Oh, God. This was it.
Jazz breathed shakily. The Hunger Games. They were waiting for her just...She squeezed her eyes shut. Jazz opened her eyes when she was certain they'd landed. She blinked and stopped herself from stumbling when she she where they all were. They were stood on the summit of a mountain, with the Cornucopia in the middle. She could see her fellow tributes in a circle around the golden horn, most of them were eyeing up the bounty and the other half were looking for a way to escape.
And that was the trouble. There was only one obvious way to escape; a path that lead down the mountain in a fairly straight line.
The she saw it, a perfect silver axe in the mouth of the cornucopia. She could get it, if she ran, she could reach it...The gong boomed and made her ears rang, but she didn't let that stop her, she ran and ran as fast as she could...and grabbed the axe before anyone else! But then the boy, Morgead came up behind her. He was going to grab the axe! Jazz swung it without thinking, and it hit the boy in the back. Jazz saw the light leave his eyes and realized that his hand wasn't reaching for her axe, but for a bow and arrow by her feet. And she'd killed him. God, oh, God, she'd killed a person. Jazz let out a panicked sob and ran away, before stumbling down the steep edge of the mountain.
Morgead had locked eyes with Jez first to let her know he was going after the perfect golden bow at the mouth of the cornucopia. The last thing he saw was jazz's horrified face staring at him, mouth agape.
Jez screamed. Morgead. Morgead was dead before it had ever began. She ran forward, through the battling tributes and she jumped over the scattered spoils. He couldn't be dead, he wasn't. What would she do without him? How could she carry on...? The axe was still left in his body and anger for Jazz ripped through her. Jez knew it had been Jazmine, she'd seen that girl working with the axe. She'd even had the nerve to leave the evil weapon in the body. Jez knelt down beside Morgead and began crying. She didn't see Shiloh run up towards them. She didn't see him eye the axe left unguarded in Morgead's body. Shiloh grabbed the axe unceremoniously leaving a gaping wound in Morgead's back, before sticking the axe halfway through Jez's neck and killing her.
Stacey saw the mountain view and froze up. She had to get away, she could meet the careers up later, even though she knew at heart she wasn't one of them. Silver's platform was next to hers, and the grin he gave her sent chills up her spine. When the gong sounded, she ran for the path as fast as she could, but Silver was faster, much faster. He'd picked up a metal pipe that had been lying further away from the cornucopia and before Stacey knew what was happening, he was hitting her with it over her head. She felt herself loosing consciousness, and briefly wondered if it would be the last thing she ever thought before she died.
The first thing Blade did was look for Daisy. He'd seen the arena, and knowing his luck Daisy'd be afraid of heights. She was stood on her own platform opposite him across from the cornucopia. When the gong sound blade ran forward, dodging attacks and managed to reach some good supplies and weapons. He'd told Daisy to run and hide as soon as the gong sounded, but when he went to find her, all he saw was her sweet, limp body lying in the grass clutching a little posy of daisies, with that psychopath Jade stood over her laughing. Blade clenched up in anger and ran towards her to cut her, hurt her, for killing the little girl, but he only managed to cut her back before someone pulled him to one side and began pulling him away. Whoever it was, they were small, and not very strong. But he ran with them anyway. When he looked down to see who it was, he was surprised to see it was the other littler one, Dove.
"Don't attack Jade. She's strong, and you could get hurt at the moment. Wait until everyone hates her for killing people, and when she's hurt. Then you can kill her." Blade didn't like it, but the little girl was right. So he followed her some way down the path, then off into a dark forest.
Eliana searched the crowd of fighting teenagers for her alliance. She could see Allie doing the same across several battles. The wind was picking up and Allie's auburn hair swept about her stony face.
"Allie!" Eliana screamed to catch the girl's attention. Allie nodded and ran towards Ellie, dodging weapons and fights on her way.
"I can see Jarsen getting supplies and weapons, he's pretty good" Allie said loudly over the sound of clashing blades, screaming and crying.
Suddenly, Eliana heard a crazed scream and turned to see one of the careers, Silver, running at her with a dagger. Before Eliana could scream, he was on the floor, bleeding unconsciously with Jarsen stood behind him.
"Cole is coming, then we need to put as much distance as possible between us and this place" Eliana smiled gratefully at Jarsen.
"There he is!" Allie shouted, pointing at a figure that was probably Cole. "Lets get going!" She told them, already off when Cole reached them.
Corey and Roxana had fought to the last for the supplies. There was still plenty there for them. Now everyone had either run off, or had died. The only ones left were them, and Shiloh and Rosemary. Roxana saw Stacey and silver lying on the ground. She immediately ran off to see if they were still alive. Corey smiled. That was what he loved most about her, despite how violently she was raised, she was still so caring and sweet.
"Silver's just unconscious. Poor Stacey wasn't as lucky"
"Nothing to do with luck" Rosemary said. Everyone turned to look at her. "Silver killed her, I saw it. We'll have to watch out for him, he's slippery" Everyone was silent as they watched the bleeding boy on the floor.
"I think I can see a tarn down there" Shiloh pointed as he changed the subject. "It'd be a good place to set up a camp. I'll make my way down there. Rosemary, you take Silver and come down with me." Shiloh turned to Corey and Roxana. "Can you two collect everything that's left?" Shiloh left without waiting for an answer.
Roxana had about three rucksacks on her back, all sorts of things wrapped up in a tarpaulin she was carrying. She then noticed that Corey had stopped and was looking at two bodies, a boy and a girl.
"Hey...Weren't they together?" He asked with a little frown. Roxana nodded sadly as she stared at them. Corey bent down, which was pretty impressive considering how much he was carrying, and put their hands together before running off after Shiloh and Rosemary.
Sorry its a bit short :)
