Ten tributes were left in the 78th annual Hunger Games. Three thirteen year olds, one twelve year old, one fourteen year old, two sixteen year olds and three eighteen year olds. Six boys and four girls remained. Most had a reason to get back home, which was the worst part.

Chad Cooper had his sister to get back to, he had feared with going into the games that she had stopped eating or had blamed herself. Of course he wouldn't admit it; it was a sign of weakness that the other tributes could use against him. And what about Zora, Grady and Nico? Were they doing alright without him pulling out the tessare? He worried about them day and night, but would never show it. Never.

Sharpay Evans had her brother and family to get back to. She trained the hardest among everyone in her grade (maybe besides Troy Bolton) so she could bring her family greatness. She had been told that her ancestors had made it to where she and her family would always exceed in everything that they did. But this was a life that she didn't want; she wanted her manicured hands and singing career back. She wanted her brother back.

Troy Bolton had to get back to his wife and son, not to mention the one that is on the way. Gabriella was very emotional (especially after she had watched her father get executed) and she couldn't fall apart. If she fell apart, what would happen to Tyler and the newborn? His parents were available but they had never really approved of his and Gabi's relationship and her mother was out of the question. Plus, he really wanted to meet his child before he died.

Mason Greybeck had to get back to his girlfriend. Alex must be suffering so much now that Harper had died, her best friend since they were in diapers. He could imagine it now, how Justin and Max must be helping her and she was falling apart by the seams. Her face when he had left had already been as white as snow, filling him with rage and the need to win. But he did something only a rookie would do:
He made friends with his enemies.

Cody Martin had to get back to his family. His brother had been the reason that he had volunteered, maybe he had sharpened up since he saw how he had been suffering. Maya's death must've hit him hard, he really did love her. If he didn't go back, what would he have to hold onto? Woody wouldn't really be of help, and Marcus was moving to District 1 soon. He's all he has left.

Cece Jones had her best friend to get back to. She couldn't explain it, but she felt a connection with Rocky that was so strong that it would crush the other person if something happened to the other. She didn't want Rocky to suffer, if she did her brother did. If Ty did then Deuce did, if Deuce did then Dina and Flynn would. If Flynn did- God forbid- their mother would disappear just like Kantiss Everdeen's. She couldn't let that happen.

Gunther Hessenheffer had to get back to his sister, his closest friend. When they were living in District 13 they were often made fun of because their parents were from the Capitol and had the accent and weird traditions. Even Ms. Cece Jones had made fun of him; to be honest it had hurt him so much. His sister would wake up screaming it wasn't her fault that the Games took place; he had to hide his own fears. He had to make sure that Tinka was/is okay.

Ferb Fletcher had to get back to his brother, the man behind the plans. How they used to build their crazy contraptions at the annoyance of their sister and make it seem like they were just little boys having fun. But that's the tricky thing, they are just children. They're supposed to be having fun. If he gets back, he might not ever be the same again.

Sarah Foxx had lost everything, starting with when her mother died. She was from the Seam, that made it hard enough, but when her dad started working overtime to get the money and her mother had died she lost it. Katniss was in a similar position; she got strawberries from her on Sundays which was a real treat for her and her siblings. She was always afraid of people, especially men. Her sister had started selling herself to Cray when she was 16 and she was expected to do the same when she was old enough, she never visited Peeta Mellark due to that fear. Except Ethan, who is dead now… she truly has nothing to live for.

Chyna Parks was the one everyone wanted to win because she was related to Rue of the 74th Hunger Games. Truly she didn't want to win, she wanted someone who needed and was worthy to win. Maybe Troy with his kids and wife or Mason with his broken girlfriend, she had no clue. She didn't know she needed to get out of the arena though; she needed to be the one to win. It was all part of the plan.

Everyone, especially Katniss, could see a dramatic change in Peeta's behavior after Ethan died. He had become more sullen and less talkative, not cracking the occasional joke about Haymitch. She tried to comfort him; she would be more affectionate and let him stroke her baby bump. It helped, but not by much. He could hear his mother screaming at him for not getting Ethan out alive, see his brothers painful looks when he entered the bakery, feel the smacks across the face when what was supposed to be playful wrestling went too far. His nightmares had gotten much worse, but Peeta was Peeta and he wouldn't let anyone in. It scared the shit out of everybody.

Thirteen people had gotten a house call, one person from each district. They were supposed to meet in District 13 as soon as the Games were over, each phone call ended the same:
"Al infierno con el Capitolio."

I know I don't deserve it, but do you think we could get 30 reviews by the next chapter?
