Leoissofunny, He's not. The story won't add up in the end if he's a son of Hades. :)

Just a note: I hereby declare it possible to get writer's block even though you have a sticky note on your laptop that has the whole story planned out, and even a table of who dies when and where and such.

Disclaimer: If I owned the Hunger Games, then the movie would be out already - Oh wait. It already is out. :P

In case you didn't notice, I made some major edits with chapters 1-10. If you have the time, you should go re-read them :)

Elijah

It was all a blur, the fight at the cornucopia, but all I can think about is catching up to Sadie and the District 5 Male. (Seth, right? Whatever.) All this hiking and running is paying off, because it's not as tiring and I can go faster.

That's beside the point. We're still in the meadows. I look ahead, and I can see Sadie far ahead of me, and the outline of Seth in the distance. "Sadie!" I yell over to her. She either A, can't hear me, B, responds and I can't hear her, or C, could hear me and doesn't respond.

You need to get to her now! Otherwise you're going to get lost! I feel an extra surge of strength run through my body and I bolt to where Sadie is.

"Elijah. . ." She calls over to me. She takes a deep breath and looks over at me. "I- thought you weren't coming." You're probably not running at the moment, but it's pretty hard to run at top speed and talk with someone.

"Don't worry, I'm here, Let's get this Seth kid," I say. I look ahead in the distance again, and I see him. We're getting closer to where he is.

By now, I can see the heavy woods coming up into the distance. We've already gone a mile? That was quick. Before we know it, we can see the woods ending and the desert is coming up quickly. I know full well that all of us are slowly loosing stamina, but Sadie and I keep pursuing Seth.

Seth can run fast, but he can't really keep at a steady pace. When we can see the snowy hills in about 40 yards ahead of us, Seth finally starts to slow down. A lot. It takes only moments for Sadie and I to catch up to him and tackle him.

"We've got you now," Sadie says, and she spits in his face. She is about to unsheathe her knife when we hear a hissing sound to the left of us. All three of us look directly to our left to where the hissing sound came from, and I see some kind of giant snake. Sadie screams, "EEEKK!" at once, and Seth sees this as the perfect time to get out of Sadie's grip, and he jerks himself up. I am there in milliseconds to pin him back down.

I look back over at the snake, which is now 3 feet from us. It is now bearing its fangs, and Sadie looks really creeped out by it. It is now slithering closer to us, and Sadie looks at me. In her eyes, I can clearly see the words form without her saying anything. Throw Seth at the snake. I make a small quick nod, and a smile creeps upon her face.

"NOW!" she yells. I put all my force into throwing Seth away from us and getting him towards the snake to keep it occupied.

"AHHHH!" He yells. By now Sadie and I are running towards the line of snowy woods, and I don't have time to look back, but from what I hear, the snake is attacking Seth. After running through the border, I turn back and I see Seth shooing the snake away, but the snake keeps trying to bite him. After making three or four more bites on Seth, he crumples down onto the ground, and the snake eventually leaves him alone. He takes his last breath and is silent. Seth is dead. I hear that ringing in my ears that happens whenever someone dies. It's so annoying. A cannon goes off.

"Ugggggghhhhh. I hate when people die. I get this weird ringing in my ears," I tell Sadie.

"You do? That's weird," she says. "I guess the snake's venom was really poisonous. Let's get going. It might be a mutt and it might follow us," she says, and takes off towards the beach in an odd direction, shivering.

"Dang it!" I say. "We really needed to bring coats."

"I-I-I-I know," Sadie replies, shivering. "We did. Come on. Let's get to the stupid beach. We need a supply of water." She then runs ahead of me, blushing.

I guess Elise was right. Sadie likes me! I think. Wow. Nobody has ever liked me before. I've always been the socially awkward kid in the corner! Fun! I smile to myself, but I then realize that Sadie's 50 yards ahead of me, and I sprint to catch up to her.

I go into a subconscious state of walking. It is so abnormally cold that I can't think. I just concentrate on going forward and hopefully someday see a warm sandy beach. It is so much colder than the first few days, I'm under the impression the Game makers purposely have changed the temperature to more extremes.

Sadie and I don't talk. It's not awkward at all, it's just too cold for us to talk. (If that's possible.)

Before I even notice it, the cold suddenly goes away and I find myself collapsed on the sandy ground of a beach. My insides feel like they're being microwaved. My vision clears up, and I see a beautiful blue sky and playful waves crashing on the beach. Sadie is lying right next to me. She jerks up and says, "WHOAH that place was cold!"

I slowly nod, and then say, "My insides are being microwaved."

"I vote we stay here for now," Sadie tells me.

"Elise is probably frantic," I say. "She's probably looking all over for us."

"Well, it wouldn't be such a good idea to go looking for Crystal and her right now. This place has a 5 mile diameter. They could be anywhere. I think it's best if we just stay here near a source of water."

"I guess so," I say. "Let's just hope Elise and Crystal find us."

Sorry for taking forever to update. :D

Please review. I'm not joking, they MAKE MY DAY! Just a little bit of encouragement from you guys keeps me running and I tend to update faster when I have reviews. (No joking.)
