Well, since there are no interviews, here we go with the first day of the Games. The Arena is basically a ghost town.

Todd Mark's POV
60 seconds. We had sixty seconds. Sixty seconds until a fight to the death began. The clock was ticking.
My mind began to wonder. Next to me was Katie Miller the Hunter and Ali Sabrina McIntyre. Katie Miller had her eyes pinned on a bow and Ali kept glancing from the Cornucopia to the dark, broken down houses on either side of us.
30 seconds. Only thirty seconds now. I stared at all of the packs ahead of me. There were countless packs, but everyone had their eyes on them. And a lot of them wouldn't hesitate to kill.
10 seconds. Ten seconds. The death count would begin in ten seconds.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
I ran the second one came down. Ran away from the people running to the Cornucopia. Away from the screams of death. Soon the cannons would start.
Felicity Moss's POV
There were people dying everywhere. There were screams of terror all around. I had run to a pack that was right in front of me. I grabbed it and ran off to the side. I had almost made it away from the Cornucopia when I felt someone slam into me. I was suddenly pinned underneath one of the Ares boys. He had a knife to my throat. I screamed, then he suddenly went limp. I pushed him off of me and saw an arrow in an arrow in his neck. Someone grabbed my arm.
"C'mon," they said, and I turned to see Katie Miller. She ran along dragging me behind her. She suddenly pushed me into a building. She went to a window (of sorts) and looked out, then came back.
"We'll stay here for now," she said. I nodded. We sat quietly for a second, and then the cannons of the dead rang out.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
"Ten cannons," I said quietly.
"Yeah," Katie said under her breath.
"Who do you think they are?" I asked. Katie shrugged. "One of them was the one I killed, the Ares kid, but otherwise, I don't know."
"You think Andy's okay?" I asked.
Katie smirked. "Aww, you're worried about him."
"Be quiet!" I snapped. She chuckled. "I bet he's okay."
I sighed. The Games had begun.
Juliet Sander's POV
Adam, Katherine and I were standing in a twisted beyond belief building, going through the packs we had gotten. The building was in extreme disrepair, but it was fairly hidden by other buildings and the windows and doors were boarded up and the only way in was through a hole in the wall that you crawl through to get into.
Katherine had gotten a pack with about 60 million knives in it. Seriously, there was a least two dozen. She was happy about all those blades, but she was still pretty disappointed that she hadn't gotten the bow and arrows. Katie Miller had beaten her to it.
In my pack there was a water bottle (with nothing in it) a canister of…something, and something that resembled food. Adam had more food substances, and a blanket, plus a sword that he had grabbed for me. He gave it to me then.
"Thanks," I said. I gripped it. It was a bit bigger than I was used to, but it would do. I slashed at the air. Oh, yes, it would do.
Miranda Cop's POV
Andy and I sat in the graveyard of the town, fully guarded by some gigantic tombstones.
"Where do you think everyone else is?" Andy asked.
"Everyone? You're going to have to be a little more specific," I said.
"Cullen, Katie, and Felicity," he said exasperated.
"Who can tell?" I said. "The Arena's pretty big, they could be anywhere."
"Suppose you're right. They could really could be anywhere…"
He continued on, but I wasn't listening anymore. I could here someone talking off in the distance.
"Shh," I said. "There's someone talking."
He stopped talking and listened. There were two voices, a male and female, laughing. We looked around the large graves and saw the Justin and Kylie from Ares. They were laughing their heads off about something when suddenly, a small throwing knife came at them, missing them by inches. Kylie started, then ran over to the tree that the knife had come from. She dragged Matthew Gibbons out from behind it, screaming like a little girl, and drove her sword into him.
BOOM!
That was the end of another life.
Well, there's day one. It seemed kind of slow, at least to me, but hopefully it will get better. Matthew Gibbons is the only tribute with a name that is dead so far.
