I'm running out of nameless tributes. Soon, the major tributes will begin to perish. To this point, no submitted tributes have been killed. That may change very soon.

This chapter takes place two days after the last chapter.

Terris smiled bleakly to him self. They all thought he was dead. Every one. Even the capital.

He knew that the chances of him surviving the worms attack were high. He just hoped that Kiylee would figure it out. He still had his message to her running through his head.

I hope this note will guide you.
A simple prayer that you read this.
Maybe it's best that we parted ways.
And maybe it was fate that we should never meet again.
Let's forget all of the hurt inside that we hold close to our hearts.
I know its hard, but there is hope. Death will get me, but you will live on.
Vent your rage, not at me, but at those who oppose you. It will lead you. But only if you let it.
Even if we don't meet again, I am glad we met.

He just hoped that she could figure out that the first letter of each line spelled out a few words. Another clue that he had hidden was the fact that the worm had two stomachs and no digestive juices. That was the key point on his survival, the bomb exploded, destroying the second stomach and everything above it. But Terris was in the first stomach and survived. It took him almost an entire day to regain consciousness and climb out.

Two days later and he had still received no hint any one was aware of his survival.

So here he was, alone. The only thing he could hear was the sound of his own steps muzzled by the ravenous winds. Terris checked his watch and was surprised to see that it was only 20 minutes until day 9.

Despite being a 12 year old hyper active weirdo. Terris was not a dull boy, if anything he was a prodigy in logic and math.

Because of this, Terris knew that he should do two things. Hide and stay away from the center of the arena.

As the clock reached midnight. A voice spoke to the tributes. It was a short message that was so clearly stupid that it must have been planned by a game maker who believed the games had to have comedy in it. (This was the same game maker who came up with flesh eating squirrels)

"Your all screwed."

Terris had to hold back giggles as he calmly put his hands in his pocket to take out his token, a blood stained coin. One side of the coin was red with Terris's blood and the other side had the blood of his brother. All of a sudden, it dawned on him that he didn't have any weapons. Terris typed into his arm band for the weapons he wanted.

In only minutes the capital received word that Terris was still alive. Scans of the arena were sent out to locate him so that his mentor could send him his items and that they could place another microscopic camera on him.

Terris looked into the sky with hope as weapons and items began to rain from the sky in a flurry of silver parachutes.

The next few hours were interesting to watch for the capital as Terris fashioned by far the most deadly make shift weapon ever seen in the game. He had asked for all types of random items that seemed to do nothing on their own.

As inspiration struck, Terris had come up with the blueprints for a machine that could kill tributes in seconds.

Terris put on rubber gloves that went all the way up to his sleeves so that he wouldn't kill himself. Next he grabbed a specially designed an ultra compact super reactor and put it in a back pack that was also coated in rubber (There was a lot of rubber). He attached special alloy wires to the battery and ran them down his arms and covered his wrists with two more layers of rubber and a layer of bullet proof glass that he had ordered specially made to fit around his arms.

The next thing he did was weld the alloy wires to iron gauntlets.

The final result was a back pack filled with lethal killing power and gauntlets that channeled untold energy.

All Terris had to do in order to end a life was put both of his hands on them at once.

(In case your wondering, Terris received 10 billion$ for killing the worm. That's how he is paying for this.)

Lastly, to finish his contraption of death, he picked up a very long iron pole and slammed it on the ground. As the pole impacted onto the ground, all the electricity flowing through Terris's hands were channeled into the one smash, causing a devastating flash of light due to the sparks coming from the pole.

Terris yelped out as the metal began to burn his hands. In agony, he threw the pole away to stop the circuit and cool his hands off. Terris couldn't see his hands but he could see that his metal gloves were tinted orange due to the short circuit effect. Obviously using his powers of death would hurt him as well.

Unfortunately, off in the distance Lars saw the flash and was heading that way.

meanwhile

Gloria followed her captors begrudgingly. Her hands were hand cuffed behind her back three times. One key was with the girl Finite. The second was with the boy Annubis, the dark haired, dark clothed bandit. Annoyingly, they made Gloria carry her key in her mouth so that if she spoke, her key would fall out. If she swallowed it, oh well. Her fault.

It had been nearly two days since she had been captured and she hated every minute of it. Every now and then they would give her food and remove the key from her mouth.

Gloria had tried to escape on a regular basis but each time they would sprint after her and pin her down, after which, Finite would leave a long and jagged cut down her left arm each time, by now her arm was covered in identical cuts, she couldn't count them due to the bandages, but she could feel them. Finally after her latest attempt at freedom, they hand cuffed her feet together.

At first, Gloria wondered what they would do with a captive in the hunger games though it soon became clear. Gloria would walk in front and draw out any traps or monsters. The monsters would be killed soon after, but the traps were narrowly avoided each time. After awhile Finite began to pack items into a back pack... Which Gloria would carry around with her.

"Open up." Finite said to Gloria with blunt disdain.

Gloria simply sat there, a defiant look in her eyes.

"I said open up!" Finite kicked Gloria in the ribs.

Slowly, Gloria opened her mouth to let Finite shove her hand in and take out the key with little respect for Gloria's safety.

"Much better." Finite sat down at the other end of the room and began examining a necklace she had taken from Gloria. It was half a heart with the letters For and half of an e on it. "Is this your token? Where's the other half?"

Gloria frowned and held back tears. It was with Riki, she missed him so much. This never would of happened if she didn't leave him.

Annubis walked into the room and smiled. "Ladies, I found the food. Come on Finite lets eat, you should just wait there Gloria."

Finite smiled cruelly at Gloria and left the room with Annubis.

A few minutes later Annubis returned alone. "Hey, you must be starving. Here, have some chicken."

Annubis sat beside Gloria and lifted a chicken leg to her mouth. Gloria began to eat gratefully as Annubis smiled.

"Sorry about Finite... She's a bit abrasive at times..."

Gloria gulped the chicken down and nodded. "Thanks"

Annubis grinned, his perfect white teeth was all Gloria could focus on.

"I better go... Finite gets kind of... you know." Annubis walked out of the room silently and gracefully, his black clothing appearing to fade into the lightless walls behind him.

Gloria sat in silence for the next ten minutes as she listened to Finite talk and Annubis laugh.

"I better go see how the slave is doing." Finite said eventually with a sigh.

"I'll come with." Annubis said with little emotion.

Finite walked into the room with Annubis not far behind.

"Have you had dinner yet, little girl?" Finite said with a chip in her voice. Behind her, Annubis was shaking his head to say no.

"No." Gloria said weakly.

"Well, I brought you tomato sauce!" Finite smiled evilly and forced Gloria's mouth open and emptied an entire bottle of tomato sauce into her throat.

Gloria began to gag at the sauce and coughed it back in Finite's face.

Finite screamed out in horror and slapped Gloria across the face.

Finite went to slap her again but Annubis stopped her. "We need her in working condition."

Seething with rage, Finite spat in Gloria's face and walked away.

Annubis wiped away the spit and followed Finite. "Sorry."

An hour later, she was back on the road, her key in her mouth with Annubis and Finite behind her. Life sucked.

Meanwhile

Shine groaned loudly as she forced her eyes open. The hazy sound of metal weapons clashing was constantly playing in the back of her head. In front of her, Thalia fought with amazing grace as she brutally cut down flesh golem mutants in their dozens. Shine was to tired to register the danger she was in.

The flesh golems were 6 feet tall each with the appearance that they were created from human limbs being stitched together. Some of the golems didn't have heads while those that did had their eyes and mouth stitched shut.

The flesh golems were slow but strong with axes instead of hands.

Thalia held a short sword in her right hand with a shield in the left.

Shine sat by and watched as Thalia decimated the golems with surprising ease. The golems flesh was as durable as tissue and the bone was as weak as twigs. Thalia could easily hack of arms and slice of heads with only a single stroke.

Thalia jumped forward and crushed a golem's face with her shield and quickly swiped at the head of another golem, slicing its skull in two. A third golem lifted its hand/axe to attack but Thalia saw the movement and followed through by cutting the arm off as though it wasn't even there. The golem reared back and tried to scream but it's mouth was unable to move due to the stitches.

Thalia sprinted forward and kicked the golem in the chest. She expected the golem to fly back against the wall but instead, her foot went straight through its rib cage, snapping its spine into multiple pieces.

Thalia yelped in horror and tried to retract her foot from its rib cage but the golem was stuck on her foot. Thalia pushed the golem away and removed her foot after a small struggle.

Panting and sweating, Thalia fell back against the wall, her clothing and face covered in blood.

"Nice work." Shine said.

Thalia glared at Shine with obvious rage. "YOU WERE AWAKE AND YOU DIDN'T HELP ME!"

Shine avoided Thalia's gaze, it only just occurred to her that she probably should of waited for a few minutes before talking. "Sorry, I woke up when there were only a few left."

"So! What if I died?" Thalia was almost screaming.

"I'm sorry." Shine conceded.

Thalia sighed loudly. "You should be."

"You looked cool by the way." Shine said with a smile.

"It felt cool." Thalia said with a dark smile.

Shine and Thalia sat in silence for a minute while the two regained their energy.

"What happened to Gaet and Lars?" Shine finally asked.

"I killed Gaet, not sure what happened with Lars."

"Nice, I spent ages trying to kill those two." Shine complained

"Yeah, you did a good job of killing them." Thalia shot back sarcastically.

"Oh well, at least I got to meet you out of that encounter. Why did you save me any way?"

Thalia put her hand to her chin in a classic thinking pose.

"I don't know. I really did want to kill you... but I'm not sure why... If I remember why, I'll tell you." Thalia was clearly trying to remember why she saved Shine.

"Ok... good to know you wanted to kill me." Shine said with a clearly fake smile

"Yeah, I want to kill every one in this game. Oh yeah, do you know about that Faith girl?"

Shine furrowed her brow and thought back. "Nope, what about her?"

"I nearly killed her twice. She just won't die!" Thalia laughed impatiently as she thought back to her encounters with Faith.

"I haven't killed any one in the games yet." Shine looked sad at her lack of killing potential.

"Don't worry, you will." Thalia smiled but Shine wasn't reassured.

Shine was about to reply but something was bothering her, she could hear something. She remained silent and listened out. Off in the distance was the sound of footsteps moving towards them. Shine stood up with great effort and looked out of the window. A mile away she could see thousands of flesh golems all walking in unison towards them.

Shine gulped, this was going to be epic.

Sorry this chapter took so long to write. My computer got a virus and i lost all of my work. I'll try to write faster.
