Lyla Alby's POV-D6

I'd been wandering the desert smashing lizards' skulls in with a rock when I saw them, but the rain was keeping them away. At least I didn't have to search for water. The steady downpour had been going on since the earthquake. That was last night, I had slept under a big rock, but I didn't fit all the way under so my left side was completely soaked to the bone.

I was stumbling through the sand, well actually mud now, looking for cover or something to keep me dry. Also, it had been getting increasingly cold since about an hour after the rain started. I guessed it was about 80 F right then. A lot cooler than it had been, but I hoped it would stop cooling off soon.

I had 3 lizards so far which was enough to poison about 2 gallons of water. I needed a ton of them, if this was going to work. I checked over everything I had, which wasn't much, and I found I had nothing I could use as bait, they were carnivores, and I definitely had no fresh meat on me, well that wasn't true. I had the lizards.

Kameron Hunt's POV-D9

I kept looking up to the sky, for one to see if the clouds were clearing, and to ask why it has to be raining. Not to mention the fact that I was letting a 12year old girl carry a dead animal, I don't see how we can even cook it now that everything is soaked. I considered heading back to the cave, but I wasn't sure Juniper could make it all the way there in a day.

We passed a stream, that was completely overflowing and starting to flood the forest floor. "Juniper? How are you doing?" I almost had to yell because the rain was so loud.

"I …fne." Is what I heard.

"I think we should stop." I hollered back.

"N, I sd I ws fne. I dnt wnt to stop." I stopped fighting with her, after that. The last thing I needed was some little 12 year old running off by her self.

Hush Owens POV-D3

Cin and I had retreated to the outer edge of the jungle, when the earthquake struck. I was kind of annoyed with her for running when Blaise was hobbling behind us. I hadn't made any attempt to communicate with her since it happened. She has just been perched in a tree with low branches. I have been pacing, replaying his death over and over again. I had shed a few tears, but I forced myself to stop crying, victors don't cry. I finally decided to ask her if we should make camp here or not.

I walked over to her tree and shook her leg, she gave me a look like I had attacked her, then start whimpering. "I'm so sorry, Hush. I'm sorry I left him, I just, I was so afraid. I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry." I waved her down and she stumbled out of the tree. I gave her a hug and a smile, then made a sleeping motion, and pointed to the ground. " um, no I think we should at least walk, back into the woods some" She must have seen the disgust on my face, because she imiediatley followed with, "but we can head a different way. Away from our, other path." I nod and we begin walking at angle away from the wretched spot where my friend Blaise lost his life.

We walk for the rest of the day, when it starts to get dark we decide on a tree. Only one thought plays through my mind as I position my jacket over my face, so I don't drown in the rain; there were no deaths today. That can only mean one thing, something will happen tomorrow.

Mica Gallan Farrow-D4

We were actually sleeping at camp tonight because Silver claimed to be in a lot of pain and that she hated rain, so Perry gave in and we weren't hunting that night. I climbed into my cot and was almost drifted away, when I heard Caden getting up and leaving! I opened my eyes, but didn't dare sit up. I waited till I didn't hear him anymore and got up, I grabbed my knives and followed him. I tried to avoid leafy patches, but they were everywhere. I was thankful for the loud rain.

After I couldn't see camp anymore, I decided to start marking trees. I took my a sharp knife and cut a gash into a tree every 50ft. or so. After a while, I could hear voices and slipped into a cluster of trees. I could hear him, and he was talking to someone. A girl, her voice isn't familiar. I hear them giggling and I know he has betrayed our pack. I decide tomorrow, I will lead the pack to this place, and expose her and he will die.

I run back to camp and go to sleep, my malevolent plan floating on my lips. I awoke to the smell of roasted meat, and got up to find beef strips for breakfast. I scarfed down three, and got everyone's packs ready. Caden kept giving me strange looks, well he wasn't the only one, but every time he did, I had to struggle not to laugh at him, for his idiocy.

When the fire was put out I started urging everyone into the woods, in the direction of Caden's girlfriend. I was trying to make my sprint look like a jog, but I was buzzing, I would get sooo many sponsors off this. The others kept up except Caden, he was lagging. I could tell he knew what was coming. When we got within 100ft. of my destination, he ran to the front and tried to steer us away.

"Guys, it's obvious there's no one out here let's head to the desert zone." He said it a little too fast, and I just pushed past him and kept running. I didn't care if the other didn't follow, they would come when they heard her screaming.

As I got closer I heard Caden running after me, but I was going on pure adrenalin. I burst into the clearing, and she was standing there about to greet Caden, but her face started to twist into horror and she started to scream. "Katerina! Run!" I heard him yell from about 10yards away. I didn't have much time. She was turning, trying to run, but her feet got tangled up in each other and she fell, now she was starting to curl up in a ball and was shaking a bit. I moved in on her.

Caden crashed into the clearing behind me; I knew he would tackle me, so I fling my knife at the girl's head. He knocks me sideways, and the other careers are right behind them. He positioned his sword to kill me, but a shadow fell on us, and he turns jamming his sword straight through Crystal's chest.

"Crystal! Noo!" I scream and throw him off me, wrenching his sword free. She only lived about another minute, but I held her hand the whole time, and she ended her life with her lips locked on mine. Caden has the girl off the ground my knife in her hand, dang I can't believe I missed that shot. Boom! Crystal's dead. I lunged at him, but he pushed him and the girl aside. He grabbed her hand and they ran off into the woods, she was surprisingly fast. I got up to run after them, but Silver put a hand on my shoulder and I almost collapsed from shock. Crystal was dead; and he killed her.

Katerina Thorne's POV-D12

I took Caden' s hand and we ran I don't think either of us knew where we were going nor did we care. The rain and branches hitting me in the face, were starting to hurt a lot. I think we had been sprinting for about 20minutes when my chest started to ache and my sides started cramping. "Ca-den, can – we – stop?" He gave a panicked look at me. He just changed direction a little, practically dragging me behind him. We don't stop or slow down until, we have reached a huge tree and he is boosting me up. I climb up and find a hole where I climb inside. Caden follows soon. It was just wide enough for us to sit up if put our feet right next to the other person. We're to far apart to hug, but we clasped both our hands together and I saw tears in his eyes, I realize my face was streaked with tears.

"Caden I'm sorry, I got sloppy." He just shook his head and tears started running down his face.

"It couldn't matter less now." His voice was hoarse, and he grabed his backpack from it's perch out side. He squeezes it in between his legs and the wall. He reaches his hand in and pulls out some dried fruit pieces. He offers them to me. I take them.

"at least I have my dart gun, and my dagger. I reach to my hip and am relieved to find it there. He nods his head, ten opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by an elegant basket floating into our little cove on a silver parachute.

The basket container three eggs, the first was pearly white and had a golden one engraved on it. The next was dull black with a 12 carved into it. The third looked like a sparkling purple gem; it had a 2 on it. There was also a loaf of capitol bread and a 10 piece bag of beef jerky.

"Wh-why did they send 3 eggs?" he had sad eyes and I knew he didn't want to answer the question. "well, at least our sponsors have been nice." I grabbed the 12 egg. It was about as large as my head and I couldn't see a way inside it. I ran my hand all over it before finding a small panel. I ran my hand over it and half the egg vanished. Inside was a small gun. Caden's eyes lit up in reponse.

"whoa, that's a fire ball gun." I turned it over in my hands before placing it on my lap. I grabbed his egg and handed it to him. He ran his hands all over it. After a minute it opened and inside was a handle. It was golden and had a few buttons on it. I couldn't see any use. He put it in his hand; a perfect fit. He pressed the largest button and a purple beam of light shot out of it. It looked like a sword made of light. By sheer luck, it had opened out the hole in the tree. He pressed the button again and it closed back up. He then had a huge smile and was admiring his new weapon. We looked at each other then slowly turned to the district 2 egg in unison.

Whew, I hope you guys liked this. I didn't edit it, so sorry about the mistakes. And don't worry his light saber can only cause flesh wounds. And yes that's Crystal's egg, I'd already decided on her gift and I didn't want it to go to waste and I gave it to Caden since he killed her and everything. Every body got a present, if you want to know what your tribute got PM and I can tell you. Also my sister started a quell SYOT. I came up with the quell, so it's pretty twisted. Please take a look at it and put a tribute in. I'm beta-ing and we really want to start. So, please take a look a it.
