I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UDATING! My grandparents came and took an unexpected visit so I couldn't get the computer… I'M SO SORRY! Anyway, here's the chapter, Enjoy!
Chad, Maya and Sharpay had just woken up and started to eat breakfast, the squirrels they had caught in the snares. "You know, there are only 13 people left in the arena. They'll do something to draw us together." Sharpay states, interrupting the silence among the alliance. Chad nods, "Let's see, both tributes from 1 are gone, one tribute from 5, both from 6, one from 8, both from 9 and 10 and the boy from 11." Maya gives a disgusted look while she says, "No tributes from the All-Stars. Seriously, does the Capitol favor them or what-not?" Chad nods and agrees while Sharpay just stares into the open water, secretly very happy that the All-Stars are alive. What she sees next shocks her and leads her to call out to her fellow tributes to run. Mutations of Sharks were climbing out of the water and crawling towards them. Chad and Sharpay ran while Maya stayed in shock, her canon went off a little bit later.

Olivia bolted awake at the sound of the canon and the rustling in the trees. She woke up her allies and told them to run; she was on the tail end. She looked behind her and saw lizard mutations behind them, catching up speed as they ran faster. One was heading towards Luke, the one that was planned to kill him, but Olivia got in its way. She pushed Luke faster and tripped, causing the lizard mutts to catch up to her.
Boom

While the men talked about their plan with the women, Isabella refused. "I will not stay here while you guys go tribute hunting! I'm going while Sarah stays with Chyna, Ferb can stay with them." Ferb starts to object when Troy beats him to it, "No, Ferb can fuse a bomb if needed. And we all are about as big as the other tributes so we can take them out. We can't lose you, Isabella." She rolls her eyes in response, "I want to go. My decision, so I'll grab my weapons and we will." The four older boys start to protest while Ferb cuts them off, "Guys she'll just come anyways, even if we go without her she will catch up and make us take her along." Mason pinches the bridge of his nose and bends his head, "Fine. You can come but you don't stay out of our sight." Isabella sighs in defeat as her and her alliance get ready to leave.
-
Luke, Cece and Gunther move silently through the jungle part of the arena. So far they lost Olivia, which they grieved about until they decided they needed to move. Luke and Cece were determined to find the 'All-Stars' but Gunther didn't care. He just wanted the Games to end and Cece go home, enjoy is life in Heaven where he could watch Tinka grow up. He heard something in the distance, trees falling. "FIRE!" He screamed at his allies as they picked up their pace, Gunther's leg being burned in the process.
-
Ethan heard someone call out fire; he warned his allies and they started to run. He stopped when he heard the feminine scream of Isabella. He called her name and raced back into the flames to grab her; he threw her over his shoulder and ran towards his alliance. The smoke was getting thick and it was getting harder to breathe, Isabella had passed out on his shoulder. He was so close to his alliance, they were running towards him when a tall and thick tree fell in front of them. The flames and smoke caught up to Ethan and he passed out, the flames eating both him and the young girl.
-
Luke heard male voices in the distance, they were coming closer. He told his allies to stay there while he went to his next kill, not that they were paying attention. Cece was helping Gunther tend his really badly burnt leg. He looked over the bushes and saw Cody Martin from district 4, Mason Greybeck from 5, Ferb Fletcher from 3 and, ah, Troy Bolton- the male from 2. Unlucky for Luke, he was only good at hand-to-hand combat (little did he know that Troy was too). Luke, smirking, camouflages himself and gets his spear. When Troy turned his back and Luke jumped out of the bushes, but Troy heard. Frightened, Troy turns with his machete in hand resulting in a canon. But it wasn't the eighteen year olds, lying on the ground was a semi-conscious Luke.
Troy immediately drops his weapon and bends down, taking the little boy into his arms while tears stung his eyes. The fourteen year old was frightened, wondering what the Career would do to make his death worse. "I'm so sorry. I didn't want to kill you, I didn't want to kill anyone. I'm so sorry." He was surprised that the Career was apologizing to him instead of torturing him. " 'S alright. It was gonna happen, glad it was me instead of Zuri. But can you sing? Emma used to do that for me, do you do that for your son?" Luke's eyelids were drooping; Troy knew he didn't have much time left. "Okay, I'll- I'll sing." And with that he began,
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be.
If we met up at midnight, in the Hanging Tree.
Before he could continue, Luke drew his last breath and closed his eyes. Something inside of Troy broke, not knowing what it was he threw Luke's spear at the farthest tree he could see. He grabbed the leaves and started to pile them under Luke's unconscious body. Cece came out of the bushes and saw her dead ally and started to tear up. "Will you help me?" Troy asks, Cece just nods and together they lay Luke down in a leaf bed with an axe they found in his right hand. "You better run 13!" Troy then says and Cece bolts off. When he's sure she's gone, he screams "Al infierno con el Capitolio!" and bolts off.
-
Sarah was a wreck with Ethan gone, Ferb was just holding in his emotions that Isabella had passed. When Luke's name came up Troy had to look away. Cody was mostly shocked when Maya's name came and had no feelings when Olivia's did. When Ethan and Isabella's did, the whole group was silent when their former alliances came. "Al infierno con el Capitolio." Each person whispered before drifting into a nightmare-filled sleep.
Was it okay? I hope it was, thank you to those people who reviewed! Unfortunately, this story is coming to an end :( buuut I will post a poll asking if there should be a sequel. And sorry for lack of updates but there are so many reasons that you'd be bored. Oh and before I forget, check out CinciReds story Somebody to Love, it's my favorite AU story. It's HG and its about Katniss being an overweight teenager and a blind Peeta Mellark. Or tell me if you've read it but that's it, bye bye!
