I'm so sorry this is so late guys! I've had so much going on in the past two weeks, plus I've had major writer's block. Just to let you know, I have the bloodbath deaths sorted but please keep voting because it can easily change. I probably won't be updating for another two weeks as I have a GCSE and I really need to revise... Please PM, Favourite, Review and Vote :) (and, of course, enjoy!)

Ratchet Binch, 18, District 2

I can't believe I allowed that wimp from Five into our Career pack. Oh well. We can use him as bait. Although, he'll have to stay on his island if the chick comes with us. I guess that's not too bad. She's pretty hot. Shame she's going to have to die if I want to win, though, which I do.

I'm already eyeing down tributes. Intimidating them to make sure they don't get the upper hand when it comes to the Games. The boy from Three cowers away to his District partner and I can't help but laugh at how pathetic he is.

"You're first, Three," I shout over to him, "and don't you forget it."

Perfect. I have him in my grasp. I can't wait to dig my axe into his stomach and have the first kill of the Games. That has a nice ring to it. "First kill of the Fifth Quarter Quell." I'll keep my word with that and make it true. I've already come up with a plan for the Games and that is to kill each tribute I see, without hesitation, then kill every Career while they're sleeping, just like that girl did from Nine a few years ago. I must admit, considering she was a Nine girl, she was pretty smart. I heard people talking that her younger sister is in the Games this year. She's next on my list. I just hope nobody has the same plan as me.

Yesterday, I told my group to train with things they're not familiar with. I've never realised how much knowledge about safe and poisonous berries and foods are is needed in the Games as, from previous experiences, tributes have died from eating the wrong things and I still can't tell what is poisonous and what is safe. I'll have to rely on a smarter tribute for that.

Today, I need to try and focus on something I've never used before. The spear looks straight at me and calls me over. I've always known I'm a good thrower so I just shoo the instructor away. I got this. I pick up the metre-long stick and stand at the front of the long stretch for me to throw the spear. I bring my right arm back and swing it forward with as much power as I can muster. When I feel the time is right, I let my fingers drop from the spear and let it fly. It shoots through the air like a knife, except faster, and pierces the dummy's heart. I told you. I got this.

I try out a few other throwing weapons and I realise I'm invincible. Once I get my hands on a throwing weapon, I'm unstoppable. I'm going to win for sure.

Jiffit Skeeter, 14, District 3

Perfect. I already have my first death threat. Plus, it's the first one in the Games this year. I'm dead for sure, but that doesn't stop me from trying to do better so that I may actually survive. However, I'm going to stay away from Ratchet for as long as I can, especially after seeing his ability with the spear.

I stand at the hand to hand combat station with Wren and listen to the instructor about what the best movements are when defending yourself. Thankfully, I'm a very fast learner so I pick up on what he says very quickly. However, I'm very weak, physically. I have very little muscle and my fingers are long and nimble. My feet are way too big for me at the moment so hopefully, that means I may have a growth spurt soon. The Careers are finishing up with their training for the morning by showing off everything they already know. I have a feeling that a Career will win this year. There are six this year and one of them literally killed to be here.

I'm surprised both tributes from Five joined the Careers and I'm even more surprised Ratchet allowed Killian to join, especially after he rejected him first. I can't help but notice Bianca staring at Killian. She obviously fancies him and fancying someone is probably the biggest mistake in the Games. But that is an advantage to me, though, because if Killian dies, Bianca won't want to do anything and will probably give up.

Back to the training, out of my five attempts, I only manage to get the trainer down once, and that's only because he was going easy on me. I have no hope for close quarters combat so I'll have to stick to ranged weapons such as explosives and traps. Just before I reach the traps station, the bell signals for lunch. After that discussion between the boy from Ten and the siblings from Six, I've given up on the idea of allies, except for Wren.

All we get for lunch is a bowl of slop. That's it. The drink looks so disgusting I'd rather dehydrate than drink it. I thought Capitol food was meant to be the best in the nation! Anyway, after I hold my nose while force-feeding myself the pathetic excuse for food, we are allowed to go back and train. I walk over to the traps station and, as I have had experience in this field before, I remind myself of all the things I need to make a good trap; wire, spring, bait, rope and the trap itself. This will be perfect for hunting animals. Probably not best for hunting tributes. Although, if they get their leg snared, they won't be able to walk and I'll be able to get them. I love my genius. I've noticed in previous games that brains beats brawn most of the time.

I set up the trap and the trainer brings a rabbit in so I can test if my trap works.

Snap!

It works! Poor rabbit...

I spend another hour or two on the different types of traps and I learn about more traps that I've never even seen used before. I'll be sure to use these in the Games.

Adia Reckless, 14, District 8

I feel so sorry for Jiffit. We haven't even started the Games and he's already been told he'll be the first to die, at the hands of a Career. I know we're both 14 but I can't help but think he's so cute in his glasses. Damn... I promised myself I wouldn't fall for another tribute. Well, I'm not falling for him - I just like him... a lot.

Aden beckons me over and tells me something disappointing.

"We're not going to ally with anyone. We're just going to stay on our island and let the other tributes fight. We'll have supplies on our island so we won't need to leave. Okay?"

"Fine," I reply. He's actually very intimidating. Wait. "But what if one of us dies? Where would we go after the island sinks?"

"Whoever still has their island," he answers, coldly. You'd have to get me hyped up on morphling to get me to go near a Career. They're just so terrifying. Especially Ratchet.

Aden and I separate to train with different stations. He goes over to the sprinting station so he can learn to run quickly. Isn't it just one foot in front of the other? Apparently not. There's technique and loads of stuff like that to learn about. He seems to be good enough so when I'm getting slashed by another tribute, he'll know how to be a coward. Helpful, considering he's my ally. There's something about Aden that I can't quite put my finger on. He's hiding something but I have no idea what. I have a go at the explosives station and as it turns out, I'm actually quite good at it.

The training instructor advises me to find the explosives at the Cornucopia and go straight to my island. As soon as both me and Aden are there, I should set up explosives at the entrance of the pathway to my island to stop other tributes from getting in. Seems like a good enough plan. Although, that means I have to join the bloodbath and hope that I don't become a victim of it.

I decide to join Aden with his running and sprinting and give it a go. I get timed on how fast I can do a certain amount of meters and in every single one of the time trials, I'm mere seconds behind Aden. This proves that if he is getting attacked, I can be a coward too. I ask Aden if we can try something together, like fire building because I'm obviously going to need help.

We walk over to the station and find out the best way to build a fire is by rubbing two sticks together. It's easier said than done. It took me well over ten minutes to get the fire going and because of my very weak attention span, I only realised I made the fire by smelling burning clothes when looking at another tribute. After I could smell burning, I could feel burning. Uh oh. I looked round and my once dark brown hair was now an orange inferno. I quickly put it out and ran to another station. I'm never going there again.

There's so many things to try out and I only have half a day left after this! I'll have to get Aden to learn things that I don't know and vice versa. I go over to the camouflage station. What troubles me is that why would you have paint in the Games? Couldn't you just cover yourself with leaves and mud? Nope. I've always been good at hiding so now's my chance to get even better.

That didn't go too smoothly... Somehow I got paint on my teeth. I think I'll just stick to hiding behind trees. The bell signals for the end of the day and I realise I still need loads of time. I shouldn't have wasted so much of it getting distracted.

We all drop our weapons etc and walk over to the lift to take us all back to our floors. First the District One tributes get out with happy looks on their faces.

"You're all dead. The lot of you!"

Bye Ratchet. The rest follow suit until we reach my floor. I greet Aria at the door and we have a simple dinner. After what I ate at lunch, anything would look more appetising. I finish my food and excuse myself. I know I didn't really do much but I was still sweating buckets, so I decide to have a nice, hot, relaxing bath. There are so many buttons to choose from and the button with the flowers on it looks promising. As soon as I press the button, the candles around the bath suddenly light and I take one whiff and am blasted by the aroma of lavenders. The last time I smelt lavender was when I was six and my dad found some growing in the garden. It never grew again after that.

After my amazing bath, I dress into comfortable pyjamas and go back to the living room to find out more about the tributes and the arena. The Gamemakers give us a low-down on the rules so we don't forget. Each district pair has their own island. Each island is based on the pair's district. Only one person may leave the island at a time. There are 12 paths leading from the Cornucopia's island to each District island. Each archway shows the entrance and has the number of the District on it. Once the Games begin, we have 10 minutes to get at least one tribute onto our island, otherwise we die on the spot. We must be getting something like a chip put into us. If both tributes leave the island, they will both die on the spot. Once a tribute dies, the island they came from will start to sink, giving the other tribute 10 minutes to get off the island, if they are still there. Tributes can invade other islands and the Cornucopia island is a communal island. Every now and then, small islands will appear for tributes to fight on. When the island sinks, it will sink into either water or quicksand, depending on where your island is situated.

When the Capitol seal comes on screen and the anthem starts to play, I wish everybody a good night and go to bed.
