Kylee's POV (girl from 9)

I wake up early the next morning. Scott is standing alert with my spear tight in his hand.

"I'm awake. You can stop guarding now," I tell him.

Scott hands me the spear. "Do you think anyone's nearby?"

I shrug.

"Want to search?"

I won't admit that I'm scared. I'll die at some point, I remind myself.

"Okay."

We walk for a little while without spotting anyone. We soon come across a lake.

The water's cold. I stay with Scott as he fills a canteen with water.

"Where should we go now?" he asks.

I suddenly hear footsteps. I jump to my feet and hold the spear ready.

The man from 4 comes through the trees. He has a sword ready in one hand and a dagger in the other.

"Scott!" I scream.

Scott jumps to his feet. He grabs my hand and we run deeper.

After a while we bump into the man from 11. He has a small knife and nothing else.

"It's hot over there," he tells us, pointing in the distance.

There's a thick row of trees in the direction he's pointing. I can't see beyond it.

"There's snakes too. I almost got bitten by one yesterday. Good thing it can't pass the trees."

Scott laughs. "I'm Scott from district 9, by the way. This is Kylee, my district partner."

"I'm Samuel."

"Would you like to join us?"

"Sure. By the way, both tributes from 10 are hiding in the trees. They threw this knife at me when I passed, but they missed."

District 10. Hmm. They're both teenagers. Smart, too. I'll bet they have tons of weapons if they dare to throw a knife where they can't retrieve it.

Samuel seems to know that, too. "Want to raid them tonight?"

"How?" Scott asks.

Samuel laughs and takes something off his back. A bow and arrows.

"The arrows aren't heavy enough to kill. Their use is that they'll stun anyone they hit."

"Let's wait a little."

I'm fine with this plan.

Ray's POV (man from 3)

I'm in a really hot section of the arena. It is quite dry. Good thing there's a lake. Unfortunately, the water's warm.

There are snakes. I've seen them. I try to stat out of reach, but I know if I'm going to get anywhere in the Games I need to move.

My only weapon is a small dagger.

It would be very useful if I could get a parachute right now. A way forward, maybe?

As if on cue, a silver parachute lands in the leaves of my tree. I climb up to grab it.

I find a vial of some kind of liquid. There is a note, saying 'your dagger will be needed.'

I stare at it. What will this do? Automatically fill my stomach?

I climb out of the tree and run to the lake. I need water.

While filling my canteen, I feel a sharp pain. I look down and find a snake with its fangs buried deep in my leg.

I scream. Leaving my canteen floating in the lake, I yank off the snake and climb up the nearest tree.

My leg is the size of a football.

I swallow the contents of the vial, then grab my dagger and thrust the tip between the fang marks.

My leg immediately begins to leak. It hurts badly, but I know that if I hadn't done it I'd be dead by now.

Nicolas's POV (man from 8)

Pauline doesn't suspect a thing. We've made camp in a forest. The leaves on the trees are slightly shriveled.

I look down at the spear that I've been hiding from Pauline. I will use it tonight. I know I vowed not to kill her, but I had my fingers crossed.

When night has fallen, the anthem plays. No tributes died today.

Pauline settles into the tree and falls asleep.

I smile and take out my spear. I hold it tightly, ready to send it into Pauline's neck.

Pauline wakes up. She gasps. "Nicolas, you promised!"

I lean in close. "My fingers were crossed!"

I stick the spear into her neck.

BOOM!

Good. Now I can take things seriously.

I look up and jolt. There's a huge rock falling.

Great. So that's what happens when you break the vow.

I jump out of the tree. The hovercraft takes Pauline's body.

Rocks are falling all around me as I run for shelter.

"I'm sorry!" I yell. The gamemakers probably don't care.

I run for the winter forest. I stay under the thick trees.

Another rock falls, crushing two trees...and me.

Madeline's POV (girl from 2)

BOOM!

That's the second cannon I heard tonight.

I turn away from the frozen lake and look at my ally, the boy from 5. His name is Raru. A strange name.

"The treeline's destroyed," he tells me.

Now that I can see to the other section, it looks a little warmer there.

"Two less trinutes to worry about," I tell him.

...

Have you figured out the arena yet? For those of you who haven't, I'll tell you.

There Are four sections, each looking exactly alike except for one thing. It's a different season in each.
