Faith asked to be physically altered before she entered the games. She explained how the cult abducted her and forced her to take on a new form. (Her original form) Faith decided it would be cool if they only altered half of her back to normal. Only her left side to be precise. The right side of her body was slender with blonde hair. The left side was strongly built with black hair. She even had one eye green and one blue eye.

It was clear that the capital didn't buy her story for a minute. They just decided that her idea for half and half would be very cool and exciting. The capital went all out in making her as half and half as possible. They even added a chip that made her voice sound like two people talking. One sounded like the real faith. One sounded like the fake faith. The over all effect was creepy and strange.

Faith was waiting silently in her tube only a few minutes until she entered the arena. Her strategy was simple. Kill every one.

Finally Faith entered the arena from a hidden compartment in the ruins of the broken glass skyscraper.

"You are now free to do as you will." The voice spoke from her robotic arm. During the fire Faith had her arm burnt so much it had to be amputated. It was now replaced with a robotic replica that was controlled through her thoughts. This made the arm much slower to react but it was strong and felt no pain.

Faith smiled and started walking directly north. She could tell the direction by the compasses implanted in her eyes. Along with the compass she had a clock and targeting system that let her see even tiny difference in landscapes. She could see a piece of grass sway from a mile away. The targeting system made her see everything in frames (1000 per second) along with the frames; her eyes gave her the option to see in thermal. When her eyes were in thermal mode they became like cat eyes, slits.

The capital didn't know about her eye implants. The cult did all of them with their scientists. They were threatened with death if they didn't complete the surgery.

She was built for this. She was built to win. Death was not an option. If she sacrificed most of her real body and her soul just to die like the other scum in this arena then she thought her entire life would have been wasted. Pointless.

Faith walked slowly towards the tower in the north. "Who's that?" Faith heard the whisper and kept walking, even though the whisper was almost silent she could hear it. When she got her eyes done, the cult also asked if she would like her hearing enhanced. She refused. Her hearing was already amazing.

"I don't know, lets get her." Faith stopped moving as two boys walked out from house on Faiths side. Both of them were clearly 17. Faith was standing side ways to them so they couldn't see she was split in half. "Hello, were Solice and Frae, who would you be?" The boys started laughing as Faith turned to face them. As soon as they saw her split face they stopped laughing. "What kind of monster are you?" Faith began to smile on her right side and frowned on her left. "I'm a tribute, just like you two." Faith's voices were horrific and Frae was so scared he stepped back and drew his axe. Solice was slightly less scared as he pulled out a long sword and did an over head slash at Faith. Faith commanded her robotic arm to grab the blade and it did. Her arm stopped the blade mid stroke by catching it, but her arm began to shed massive amounts of sparks from the impact.

"You're an abomination. Your Inhuman, you call your self a tribute?" Faith flung the sword over her shoulder forcing Solice to let go. As he tried to regain balance, Faith commanded her metallic arm to grab his neck. Her movement wasn't as fluent this time but it succeeded. Solice was lifted of the ground as her metal arm crushed his wind pipe. Seconds went by as Frae watched his Companion suffer. He didn't move until Solice's body was dropped to the floor. "Please, don't kill me, PLEASE!" Frae began sprinting away but luckily for Faith he wasn't very fast.

Only a few minutes later did Faith corner him and punch his nose directly so that the marrow traveled up and lodged itself in his brain. Unfortunately, she punched him with her real hand so her hand was red and in agony. His begs for mercy only lasted a few moments before he was dead. For good measure, Faith stepped on his neck.

Faith felt like she couldn't be stopped, nothing could ever defeat her with her new upgraded body. That was until her robotic arm began to malfunction. Maybe catching a sword was a bad idea. All of a sudden Faith felt the arena get darker. She checked the clock at the top of her eyes. It was the middle of the day. Maybe this was that new rule about the darkness taking effect.

For awhile i thought of making the entire chapter about Faith, but i decided not to. After all, i said i would write about some other stuff last chapter. This may be the longest chapter i will write in this story... so far.

Meanwhile

Croy was on sentry duty. Fitting that he would get it just before Tain attempts to kill him. Croy spent a lot of his time for the last few hours finding places he could hide in before the room exploded and killed him. So far there was only one option.

"Only a few minutes until midday, better hide soon." Croy turned around to see Veron smiling at him. "Good luck, when everyone is asleep we have to kill Tain. Once Tain is gone we have to systematically choose who we want to survive." Veron and Croy shook hands as he departed. "Thanks Veron."

A few minutes later Croy went downstairs to find every one gone. He checked his watch, 7 minutes to get to safety. He went to a cupboard and pulled out a synthetic body of himself. It cost him nearly all his money but it was worth it. Croy took of his clothing and put it on the doll, and then he placed it in the living room so that the fire could have its full affect. He also placed his sword next to the body.

Croy looked at his watch. 3 minutes left. Croy ran to the food storage room and hid inside the large fridge. The fridge was so cold and Croy was shivering so he got out and turned the fridge of at the power point. He was on his way back to the fridge when he heard the first explosion. Croy started rushing to get in the fridge. Seconds later the fireball in the food storage room went off...

Meanwhile

"I think it's over." Tyra and Sarah started crying and hugging each other. Every one in the alliance respected Croy. No one hated him. They just got a little annoyed because he was the boss. Tain pulled out a key and unlocked the tower. "Let's find his body. We need to be sure that he's dead."

For safety reasons, Veron was not told where Croy was hiding. He was going to meet Croy and Tylon at the food storage room at midnight along with Kiylee. It would soon be the twelve year old vs the 15 year olds.

Tain led the way upstairs and found a fried corpse. It was clearly Croy's. Veron didn't know about the fake body so he only saw the body of Croy fried on the ground. Veron, Kiylee and Tylon all looked at each other in dismay.

Later that day (Midnight) Veron believed Croy to be dead so he didn't go to meet him. Neither did any one else. Croy waited and waited. No one came. He would have to take this into his own hands to wipe out Tain and the other traitors.

Just as Croy opened the door he heard another door open. He was silent as foot steps crept up from the entrance. Croy tried to think of who it could be. For a moment he thought it might be Caitlyn and Daniel until he heard it Roar. Mutants were in the tower. Croy knew he was the only one awake. All he had for a weapon was a shard of glass and his fists. Things were about to go badly for the entire alliance.

Meanwhile

"I'm telling you. Tylon and Veron are against us. You have to believe me!" Tain was pleading to Kiylee. Kiylee was unsure what to do. If Croy really was alive he would of tried to kill Tain by now. "You're right let's get them before they get us." Kiylee was lying through her teeth and was going to enjoy making Tain suffer. How could he kill Croy and then try to wipe out her only friends in the competition?

"Let's do it now. So they don't get us in our sleep." Tain was speaking very loudly. "Why are you being so loud?" Tain wasn't slightly worried by this.

"I found out that every room is sound proof to the rooms around it. Were totally silent to what's going on inside." Tain smiled to himself and Kiylee smiled back. "So we couldn't hear it if Veron and Tylon were killing every one next door?" Tain took a deep breath and ran into the next room to find every one sleeping soundly. Tain was just about to leave when he heard the footsteps. He ran back to his room and took out his weapons. A pair of katars with wrist blade attachments.

"Every one is asleep in their beds. I think Croy is still alive and is coming upstairs right now." Kiylee tried to look shocked. She actually thought that Croy was dead. In a heart beat Kiylee took a throwing knife out of her knife holding pocket. She had a quiver of 5 knives. The Sash was cleverly placed over her shoulder and behind her jacket. The throwing knives were specially designed to suit her throwing style and the quiver was made before hand so that it stayed in one place and wasn't loose or tight. She forgot it was there most of the time.

Suddenly Kiylee noticed the Dark grey hand on Tains jacket.

All tributes were wearing black shirts and jackets with custom designed emblems on them. Most people had simple emblems like a leaf or a water droplet on them but Kiylee had a picture of a lightning bolt crossing over a knife. Finally it surrounded by three circles. At the beginning of the game, the emblem was invisible and only now did they actually become visible.

Tains picture of a hand was on the back of his jacket. Kiylee's lightning knife was located on her heart. Kiylee took in deep breath; she didn't know what to do. She realy wanted Tain dead but what if it wasn't Croy coming up but was actually Tyra? Tyra never let go of her crossbow. Not for a second. Even when she slept, she slept with it loaded under her pillow.

When the footsteps were just outside the door. Croy's battle cry echoed through the room. Tain and Kiylee rushed out to see what was happening. Croy was standing over the body of a large humanoid creature with a glass shard in it's neck. The creature looked like it was crudely stitched together from a collection of abnormaly large human body parts. It only had one arm. The other was replaced by an axe that gradualy turned from metal at the top to flesh at the elbow, which then joined again to the body. The head had it's mouth stitched shut but a constant screaming sound came from a hole in its chest. It was a disturbing and disgusting monster. Scars and veins poked out all over it.

Croy stood up and looked at Tain and Kiylee. Both Tain and Croy were unsure if they wanted to kill each other. "Are there more of them?" Kiylee broke the tense silence. Croy looked grim. "Yes, i checked. At least a dozen are coming this way. Wake every one up. There might only be a few minutes untill they get here. Tain looked sceptical. "Why would the first one be so far ahead of the rest?" Croy thought about it for a moment. "It's a warning. They want us to fight them. They want an extremely big battle between tribute and muttant." Kiylee started walking towards the bed room, she pulled Tain along with her so he wouldent kill Croy. "They want a fight, lets give them a fight."

A few minutes later the entire aliance was up and holding their weapons. Every one forgot about who they liked and didn't like as they waited for the Golems to enter the room from the front door.

They didn't all come from the front door. Some were 12 foot tall and ripped holes in the ground and climbed up out of the ground. Others were only 4 foot tall with wings that smashed through the windows. a few entered the room from the front door, they were 2 foot tall and ran on all fours.

As soon as a flying creature lept through the window Terris dropped his dagger and hit the floor. Kiylee threw a knife at a flying creatures body but hit its wing. It fell to the ground where Tylon impaled it throught the stomach with his blade.

When the first hand came our from the ground it grabbed onto Sarah's leg and started dragging her down. Sarah started screaming as she felt her leg brake from the tight squeeze of the creature. But before her leg broke the floor boards snapped and Sarah fell down a floor where she was surrounded by three 12 foot tall Monsters.

Veron saw Sarah fall though the floor, He knew she would die down there so he jumped down the hole as well. Veron saw the three monsters begin crowding around Sarah as she screamed. In an adrenaline rush, Veron stuck his axe in one monsters back and repeatedly stabbed at the heart of another with his dagger. But he was to late. The final 12 foot tall monster stuck its mutated arm-sword into Sarah's stomach and turned. Sarah only screamed for a moment before she went silent. Everything went slow, pure hate filled Veron's blood as he jumped into the air and savagely mauled the creature with his knife untill it fell.

Croy and Tain dominated the three creatures that came from the front door. Tain slit the throat of one and Croy killed the other two with one sweep of his blade.

The only monster left was a single flapping beast that quickly took a crossbow bolt to the head from Tyra. Every one was excited to still be alive when they heard Veron crying over the body of Sarah. His tears coated the pale face of the one victim of the muttant attack. Every one crowded around Veron as he weeped. "I couldent save her. She was so young. Why. Why would any one let this happen. Why couldent it be me who died instead. ITS NOT FAIR!" Tyra also began crying. Sarah was her best friend in the arena and she now had no one to relate to.

Every one was silent as they watched Veron hug her body. Suddenly more footsteps were heard. "There are more of them. Every one, get ready." The entire alliance prepared for another mutant attack. "They just wont stop. Will they?" Croy looked over at every one. They were all ready to fight. Every one except for Veron. He was still crying by Sarah's side.

"Veron, cry later. Right now we have to fight." Veron stood up and picked up his axe and his dagger from the dead bodies of the mutants.

"Ok, lets fight. No one else will die if i can stop it." Veron was still red with tears as he took his place in the battle formation of a cirlce. Every one was facing a diference entrance. They were not going to take any chances. They were even on the bottom floor so nothing would be coming from downstairs. "Promise me that you will all keep each others safe." Croy and Tain looked at each other. "I promise." Croy smiled over at Tain. Tain smiled back.

Meanwhile

"I feel fine. Can we please go do somthing now?" Riki had his entire chest covered in bandages. Gloria was acting extremely mothery to him. "No, tommorow we will go and do somthing interesting. But you can still barely stand." Riki stood up but groaned the whole way through it. "see i'm... fine tommorow." Riki sat back down and smiled a bit at Gloria. Gloria sat down beside him and Gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Told you." Riki smiled and looked over at Gloria just as his smile got even wider.

Ever since Riki met Gloria, he became happy and lively. Every body started liking him more and Riki liked him self alot more to. Riki still enjoyed dark humor. Along with the colour black. He was a happy emo now.

Gloria use to be quite. She still was. But around Riki she was alot more confident. Riki just made her smile. He was kind and he liked it when any one smiled. So far, Gloria and Riki were the only actual couple in the hunger games. No one else seemed to be in love. It was their largest advantage.

"So, we can do somthing tommorow?" Riki lifted one of his eye brows.

"Yes, we will do somthing tommorow." Gloria smiled and they kissed.

Guess what the next chapters about? i think you could guess. This chapter took awhile to write because it has around 3000 words in it
