There are many solo people right now, and I don't feel comfortable pairing tributes up for alliances without permission from the creator, so, if you have any ally requests, please let me know!

And, this chapter is longer and with more POVs because I had a lot to fit into one day!

Day Six

Pearce Shaw's POV- D9

I'm awoken my the sound of footsteps. At first I think it's the Careers, and reach for the knife I received last night, but then I hear only one pair of feet, and the person walking is a lot lighter than the smallest Career.

I sit up, shading my eyes from the sun, and see the outline of a skinny boy. I know that outline. I felt a connection to this person. It's Ryker Hawk.

I had felt as if we were brothers when he was called up on reaping day, and during training we talked. He felt it too. So I calmly stand up in greeting.

"Hey, Pearce. I've uh, been looking for you all night."

"Hi Ryker. So, um, you don't look so good."

"Neither do you! But I've been doing okay, I guess. I'm not dead yet, so..."

"Yeah, hehe, I guess that'a a sign, right?"

"Mmhmm. So, uh, allies?"

I see a knife hanging by his side. It's the same knife I got last night. I figure this must be some sort of message from our mentors. "Okay." I say, and we go over our supplies. We don't have much, but split a little bit of fruit from the jungle and chunks of meat from some sort of bird he brought down. I feel guilty for eating it. He must've worked pretty hard to hunt and gather, and I've been living off of whatever I can scavenge from the Careers.

Belva Hunt's POV- D9

I've only moved from my hill to refill my water bottle in the jungle and get whatever fruit looks safe enough. I found something that's sweet and very juicy with edible seeds. It's a bright pink color. It's practically all I eat now that I've found them and know they're in abundance.

A hissing sound comes from thje mountain. The air smells fowl and I see the Careers running. I've stayed hidden from sight, so they don't know I'm here, but I've been watching them. Closely. They don't even bother to bring any food as they all leave, some of them puking. They're all gagging. I see Alacia cough, and when she brings her hand back from her mouth, it's covered in blood. (Shut up LT)

Then I see everyone. Coming out of their hiding places as the air turns stinky and it begins to get hard to breathe. BeBe, Beau, Katryna, Tara, Pearce, and Ryker, people who have stayed hidden so well that I didn't even know they were there. I feel as if I should've, that they could've known I was here and killed me in my sleep. I thought I was safe. Now I feel stupid.

Soon the gas reaches me. I begin to jerk with gags, but no vomit comes up. Blood does. The gas burns my lungs, but when I try to hold my breath, I have no oxygen to hold. And when I try to breath into my shirt, the gas has somehow seeped into the fabric. My eyes blur with tears. I run aimlessley as I lose my sense of direction. The mountain has released a poisonous gas. Why did I wait and watch instead of risking it and running with the rest? Now it's too late. I can't see my way out even iff my knees weren't buckling.

Derek Rathburn's POV- D8

I was too slow. I can see the winter section, only a hundred yards a way, but my body has turned to stone under the influence of the gas. I can barely move my chest to breath. Not that breathing helps. I begin to weep uncontrollably. Not because I'm dying. I'm not trying to cry. It feels as thought the tears are being pushed out of me, like my body id ridding them from my system before I die.

Why can't I just die now? I think. A cannon goes off, and I think it's mine, but a hovercraft appears about a quarter-mile away and picks up the twisted body of a girl. Then my heart feels like stone, too, and I can barely stand the pain each beat brings me. I will it to stop. For me to die. It works. The last thing I hear is my cannon seeing me off into a better place.

Zea Dillum's POV- D11

I'm chewing what I think is a banana as I walk through the jungle. Two cannons went off about an hour ago. I wonder who they were.

I stop by a giant flower. And when I say giant, I mean GIANT. It's about twice my size and has giant yellow petals. I see another a few yards away. This one is wilting. It's lowering itself until the petals are only a few inces above my head.

It's petals rustle, and I think they're going to fall off this dying plant, but they reveal a mouth.

I've seen one of these before. Venus fly traps. Plants that eat flies. But they're not diguised as beautiful flowers like this one. And they're a lot smaller. I notice that the stem is wide enought for someone about my size to stand in. I've just registered what's about to happen when the plant's jaws clamp down around me, and instantly the world goes black.

Daryll Lamat's POV- D5

BOOM! The cannon sounds, but I pay no mind.

I'm running. I've gone into a grassy field. There are specks of other tributes in the distance, but I don't pay attention to them, either. All I care about is getting away from the two laughing hyenas with dog collars that say 5 on the tags.

They advance. I don't know how they've been running for so long. I need to outlast them, but I'm afraid it's futile. Eventually I get too tired to breath. I don't stop until I trip, though. I trip over a rock and fall, face first, onto the ground. They close in on me and begin tearing at my flesh. I don't fight back. I just moan in pain and allow them to kill me. I roll over onto my back, allowing one of them to stand on my chest, and rip my throat out.

Leo Decar's POV- D10

BOOM! A cannon goes off.

I'm walking, minding my own buisness. He jumps out at me. Zark Prometheus. Holding a sword.

I still have my stick I used in my epic defeat of the flower, and hold it weakly to him. Then I see his wince when he walks, his swollen left leg. And one of the poisonous plants that chased me yesterday about a yard away. And it sawns on me.

He's been poisoned. If that stuff is in his blood, getting his blood moving will make the poison travel to his heart quicker. I begin to jump around, poking the stick at him at times, and he swings his sword. Eventually he starts jumping to try to get me, and I smile at him. I see the curious look in his eyes, but I don't tell him anything. Why would I?

I see him begin to shake, and fall to the ground. Good. I'm out of breath. I kneel next to him, smiling down at him as if he's a child just waking up on Christmas morning. His breathing slows. He brings his sword up with all his strength and sticks it through my stomach. I hear his cannon sound right before mine does.

Amaryllis Field's POV- D11

BOOM! BOOM! Two cannons, one right after another. I count up the deaths.

One... two... three... four... five... six... SIX!

Six deaths. That's A LOT. I hear a rustle in the tall grass and turn with a start. "Wh- who's there?" I ask shakily.

The small frame of little Lani Tuckerson comes into view. At first I'm defensive, but then I see this meek little girl, staring longingly at the stew I've just served myself, and am reminded of my little sisters, of what my daughters might've looked like in twelve years. If they ever got a chance to live.

I hand her a chunk of bread dipped in stew. She puts it all in her mouth at once. Then she looks for more. I shake my head apolagetically and rub my stomach. She seems to get it and turns to leave, but then I blurt out, "We could be allies, you know."

She turns around so quick, it makes my heart jump. She nods eagerly and snuggles up next to me. We watch the sky together as the six faces appear above us.

When it's done, Lani is asleep in my arms. Then the parachute floats down and I catch it before it lands on her head. I open it up. It's a scythe. These Games might not be so bad, actually.
