Aspen

Esa had given me a few crackers to eat, but I was so hungry I wanted to collapse.

Esa had been distancing herself from me even more than what she was. She never spoke to me, and she kept turning her knife over in her hands.

But she saved my life, so I stuck around.

I was still slowly waking up. Esa was walking towards me. I opened my mouth; ready to tell her good morning, when a glint of silver caught my eye.

She flicked her wrist and a knife was buried in the center of my chest. I saw sorrow in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Aspen. Only one can get out."

Black swam across my vision and my warm blood was pouring over me.

Esa left the castle and I felt the whole world disappear.

Esa

I took my little knife and ran away from the castle, heading onto a bridge.

A little silver parachute falls onto my head. I sit down and eat the apple like it's the only thing I'd ever eaten.

I shouldn't have felt bad, Aspen had to die. Had to die so I could live.

A pair of hands landed on my back.

"How would you like to be my second kill?" A voice hissed. I turned quickly.

My eyes met crystal blue. Braxlin. A sly grin stretched across his face. He was this year's madman. I knew it by the look in his eyes.

He stepped back and looked me up and down. "I do like to see who I'm going to kill." He commented.

"Braxlin, don't." I managed to get out. He just grinned wider.

As his hands reached for me again, I slashed his right arm open with my knife. He howled in pain and stepped back again. My knife found its way to his left thigh, slashing that open as well. He screamed again, and then looked at me with fury.

"You'll pay for that." He growled. He disarmed me and got my knife into my arm stomach. Then his hands were laid on my shoulders and shoved me back into a railing. I felt my body spasm and writhe.

As the electricity found its way to my brain and the blood abandoned my body, Braxlin took my knife and the last thing I saw was his devilish smile.

Kate

Ryea was dead. Ryea was dead. I was starving and cold, but Ryea was eaten by a horrible monster. It was pleasantly warm in the blue sphere, and almost as soon as we entered, a cannon went off. Xetraver and I went into the rainforest. I kept my spear tightly by my side.

Xetraver happily took a banana off of a tree. He offered it to me.

I didn't question if it was safe, I didn't care. My stomach had been denied food for three days and it wasn't about to wait any longer.

The fruity taste brightened my whole demeanor until I remembered what happened. The 10 foot tall hairy monster, the screamless expression of Ryea.

She wanted to scream. She should have been able to scream.

Another cannon sounded.

While Xetraver and I ate bananas, I let a few crystal tears fall down my face.

Autumn

I watched Nick and Aurora go from tolerating each other to getting very close. It was sweet, in a way.

A silver parachute reached me. Inside was a large, fresh banana.

I brought it to Nick and Aurora. Together we divided it into thirds. That was the only food we had had for three days.

Our bones were visible.

"Maybe we should go somewhere else and see what are in the other places." Aurora suggested.

Nick heartily agreed and they both looked at me. I sighed.

"Fine." They both smiled and began to walk out of the gray sphere.

The only question was, what would we find?

Rigel

Ali and Kyrie acted a bit awkward around each other, but I hardly noticed. I was too busy watched Seraphin run her fingers through her Pegasus' mane. She was so beautiful and kind.

No one could compare to her. I took her free hand and led her away.

"What's wrong?" Her violet eyes were wide. I brushed her red curls behind her ear. She caught my hand and smiled.

I leaned in and kissed her. It was pure bliss. It didn't matter that 3 cannons had already gone off that day. It didn't matter that we were both hungry.

All that mattered was the two of us.

"Hey! Lovebirds! Knock it off, I'm squeamish." Ali protested. Phin giggled and I laughed with her.

Ali proved she wasn't squeamish because she held three dead rabbits.

"Got anything to cook these?" She asked. Phin shook her head. Kyrie was cleaning off his arrows. Were the bunnies his kills?

Phin lit up and grabbed my hand. She drug me to the Pegasi and hopped on one.

"Now get on yours." She pressed. I did, and both winged horses took off.

"We'll be back soon, Ali!" Phin yelled. Ali looked at us disappointedly.

I couldn't care less.

Posy (don't freak out, just read)

I'd been watching the games from inside the control room. Watching Katniss like this was terrifying. She was filled with the hunger for blood.

I clung to Gale every time a death happened. I didn't want to look. Gale let me bury my head in his chest.

Katniss was once so beautiful and happy. She lost how beautiful she was in the control room. It left her every time one of her fingers set off a trap.

There was the chapter! I've started pulling deaths from a hat because I like all of the characters left and I didn't want Aspen or Esa to die, but the hat said so!
