Alright, so, some of you I have not gotten any reviews from since the Games began! If you review more, you character is more likely to get a POV!

Day Eight: Plots For Victory

Austre Mason's POV- D2

I'm starving! Jesse hasn't let us eat since our stuff went missing! This morning he and Alacia ate our oranges. He won't let us go to the jungle to get fruit, either. I think I'm just going to ditch them soon. I am NOT starving to death. I'm a Career. That's not how we die.

"Come on, guys, let's go hunt," Jesse says, then turns to Skye and me. "You two. Stay here. When we come back, our stuff better be here, and you better be gone."

"But we didn't take it!" Skye snaps at him.

"You think I'm stupid? You were the only ones here. Of course you took it. And I'm not in the mood to deal with you anymore. If it's not here when we return, then you better run for your pathetic lives."

"That's not fair! We still have about twelve hours left!" I say, angry.

"Don't care! I'm done!" he yells and storms off. The others follow silently.

As soon as they're gone, I turn to Skye. "I don't care what he says he'll do to us. I need food, and so do you. Come on, we're going to the jungle." I grab her wrist and pull her up. She stumbles behind me as I sprint toward the greenery.

When we get there, I'm immediately overwhelmed by all the fruit I see around me. Skye grabs one and stuffs it into her mouth. She opens her mouth to speak, and I see her tongue is the same deep purple color as the fruit. Before she can talk, though, she falls to the ground.

She's twitching uncontrollably and her eyes keep rolling around in their sockets. Her lips quiver and it takes her last breath to utter the word "poison". Of course. I choose another fuit and cautiously bite into it as her cannon goes off.

I stuff my arms with fruit and turn to find Amaryllis, Lani, Genevive, and Lavender standing behind me. Armed.

Lavender sneers and Amaryllis swings a scythe. I brought no weapon and have a mouth full of food. They're not intimidated. Plus, I'm alone.

I drop the fruit and dart my eyes around for the allies who aren't here. And even if they were, they wouldn't help me.

Genevive steps forward. If she didn't have a knife out in front of her I might've stepped up, too. She's way shorter than me, after all. Then Lavender and Lani jump behind me. Amaryllis joins them and they hold my hands behind my back. I thrash and scream and get Lavender in front of me. I yank my hands free long enough to snap her neck. BOOM!

Genevive helps them get my hands behind me again and push me to the ground. I'm helpless as all three of them hold me down. Lani stands over my struggling body. Jesse's right. I am pathetic.

She aims her spear at my heart, and my last thought is that no one will miss me. Then I'm dead.

Beau Atkinson's POV- D3

BOOM! Another death. That's three today. I wonder who they were. Was there a battle? Probably. The three cannons were all fairly close to each other.

I'm wandering through a field now. It's just grass except for this one scorched section that looks like it caught fire. I move on just as the parachute floats down. I rip it open to find a whole roasted chicken. It's still warm. The smell makes my mouth water. I eat one drumstick, wipe my hands on my pants, and move on, satisfied by this extreme piece of luck.

Nan Weatherall's POV- D5

The acid has burned my skin, but I've built a hut-like thing out of rocks, which helps, and I've found the mud made from the acid rain actually helps the burns, once you get through the initial pain from contact. I also realized that, while the acid only burns humans, it kills animals. I see rodents and other nameless creatures, catch them, hold them out every two hours (which is when the rain seems to come. Except that one day when it rained all day), kill them (and cook them, The acid is a two-in-one kind of deal!), and eat them.

This section of the arena doesn't seem too bad. I walk into the jungle every night and drink my fill of water. It doesn't help me stay hydrated during the day, but at least I won't die.

Doon Wainright's POV- D8

The package arrives almost as soon as I'm done thinking I could really use a sponsor gift right now. I chuckle and open the parachute. There's a knife, a small loaf of Capitol bread, and a bottle of... sleep syrup? I know it's meant to help me. I know. My mentor and I always had some sort of connection. I know this is supposed to help me. Maybe I could drug the Careers and stab them in their sleep? Or some other players. But how?

I head to the jungle section to get some fruit and water. I break off a chunk of an especially sweet fruit and put it on a piece of bread. It tastes excellent. Then it hits me. If I only had a syringe or something to inject the fruit with, then I could spike the fruit with syrup and no one would ever know. I decide to drizzle half the bottle over the already sticky clumps of the stuff and make camp nearby. If someone eats it, all I have to do is wait for them to falls asleep and then eventually the crown will be mine!

Lani Tuckerson's POV- D5

Now that I've made my first kill, I feel like I can really win this thing. I feel stronger and better than ever before, and I'm ready to go into these Games head-on. I don't think about the fact that in order for me to win, Genevive and Amaryllis have to die...

Long A/N but please still read: Okay, so this chappie was shorter, but that's okay! I hope no one's angry with me! Also, starting after Day 9 is posted the sponsor prices will be raised another 10 points! Okay! I might be making mistakes on the tracking list, and for that I am sorry! And finally primrose98 and I will be co-writing the 176th annual Hunger Games as a sequel to this one! So be sure to submit (maybe you want to submit a loved one of a tribute in these Games...) a tribute when these Games are over! Sisco Perry will return! And the victor of these Games will be a mentor for the same gender tribute in their district (the victor has not yet been decided). Also... the next Games will only have 24 tributes so yay easier!

And more...

Before I post day 9, I'm going to do Sisco's Thoughts: Volume III, so, if you have any questions, ask them in your reviews of this chapter, please! Only the best 3 questions will be answered! Also, I'm coming up on 300 reviews, and the 300th reviewer gets to be a guest Gamemaker with me (unless they don't want to), and I will PM that person details! Okay, so... questions, anybody?
