Games Day Eight

Yes, technically the last chapter should be Day eight but I don't care. If you think the tributes are dropping like flies, then read Day Six. These Games must be over by the 14th Day... Sponsors are still welcome, but there aren't many tributes left.

VOTE for if I should have a final eight chapter, that details the tributes and their families.

Bianca Taylor POV

Tensions are tight. I don't know if the Careers will last any longer, with the tributes count near 12. I plan on ditching them today, when the time is right. Don't know when, but now, they're not looking, so I start dumping some weapons into the pool behind the Cornucopia. The less armed Ross and Archer are, the better. Also pack my food bag full of supplies.I'll need it. There's a shriek as Salmon opens a silver parachute that appeared on the ground. She just got a set of knives, good for who knows what. I'll get rid of them later.j

After the excitement last night, I hope for a break from all the fighting. No, there's no break, screaming erupts from down the cavern. Not a Career, someone else, a girl by the sound. The rest of us Careers, Ross, Archer, Salmon, and Catie, suit up and grab weapons. Pain only brings death, as we head out to the screamer. Anytime now, I can leave, I think.

Walking down the cavern, the screams get louder, and louder, and then we're in the same corridor. I can see them, the now three alliance that Isa and us attacked. They're just sitting down, when we all run forward. The screamer, who isn't one of the nerds from District Three, keeps screaming, blood covers her right shoulder. Almost like a bullet wound, but who has a gun in the Hunger Games?

I stop, take aim, and throw my spear, putting the girl out of her misery. BOOM! I look at my fellow Careers. Oops, Archer's head is cut off. Wait, what the heck? His head's gone! BOOM! Then I spot the wire, about neck height for Archer and Ross. Catie and I could slip under it. The wire has these sharp, serrated edges, that cut off Archer's head. Dang. It was a trap.

Tecna Nightcore POV

After yesterday's plan failed last night, ending up with Basil with a bullet wound, we set up our trap. It's the only hope that we could eliminate the Careers and get bandages and medicine and stuff from the Cornucopia. Our plan relies on the wire, and it's sharpness.

Basil starts screaming her head off again. I almost tell her to shut up, but that's a good thing. Now the Careers have to come near us. They won't ignore an easy victim. And within a few minutes they're running towards us, all four of them. i badly misjudged the height of Bianca and Catie. the wire would only take out Ross and Archer. But that's better, seeing as they- a spear whizzes through the air. i prepare and close my eyes, but it hits Basil instead.

BOOM! No, not good. Why'd they kill the wounded one? I see the trap cut off Archer's head, BOOM! dead. At least it works. Then Ross turns and jumps like ten feet in the air, yelling at the top of his lungs. That distraction is all we need to escape, as Basil's body sinks into the ground. Wait. Ross charges, swinging his sword left and right. God, it cuts right through my stomach. ****. I black out almost instantly.

Zuper Ridn POV

Honestly, what do you do in this arena? Sit around and wait for the killers? We can't hunt, I haven't seen another living thing save humans in this cave. Gathering, I've already picked out a lot of mushrooms. We have eaten already, everyone is full, well not really. i've never been full of food. Ever.

The only thing to do is walk, get some exercise. Away from the lava, that's for sure. Definitely. After Dehlia and Oliver died, not much talking has gone between our group. The eruption means our time is limited. This alliance has to end soon, I definitely don't want the job of killing Izzie and Gracie. I wash the thought away.

BOOM! A cannon goes off. a few seconds later it goes off again. Two more dead. Plus the three that I heard last night. And the six that died in the makes 10 dead, in about a day. Going through these tributes fast, aren't we? Overcome by the anger at the Capitol, I yell this thought out to them. In front of the cameras, I don't care.

There's some stumbling outside of the cave we're in currently. I get up to look. I peek around, and there's the District Seven girl, Blair. I haven't seen her since the Games started. She's with her brother, who i don't notice till he throws an axe at me. Dang.

Connor Wenroot POV

Didja forget about me? Me and my sister have actually lived through the Hunger Games, but Blair's leg is broken, from the earthquake that happened so long ago. I spot the Z kid and throw an axe at him. Dang it, he jumps away, and my axe gets stuck in a wall. Blair's useless, but I charge at the Z kid, expecting his weak sister to turn up. No, there's two of them, Z kid and Izzie from D6.

Outnumbered, I start attacking them all the same. I hit the Izzie girl in the arm pretty bad, but the Z kid pulls a knife and throws it in self-defense. ****. I fall backward as the knife is picked up by Z. he twists it around in my stomach until I cough up some blood in his face.

My time is short, I motion for my sister to run. Oh, wait, she can't, but Z and Izzie don't look like killers. Z obviously doesn't like his new red face paint, so he stabs me again. and again. Geez, I only tried to kill him. He stops, and then throws his knife at Blair. No!

Izzie Locklear POV

BOOM! Connor is dead, killed by Zuper. Why'd he protect me? I suddenly collapse, and the axe finally falls out of my shoulder . I throw the axe at Connor's sister. Zupers about to chase Connor's sister down when he sees the huge freakin' wound in my shoulder. He rushes over, grabbing the small bandage we have, but it's not enough.

My time is nearly up. There's too much blood loss. I find Gracie. She's sobbing like a dear, pounding the floor in a temper tantrum. Screaming her lungs out. I weakly soothe her with my words. "It's okay, Zuper and Loli will protect you. It's okay." It's not okay. My head finally collapses onto the floor.

Ephraim Wolf POV

I watch the dead tributes face's go through on the floor. Four. Matches the number of cannons. There's a Career, one of the ones I attacked last night. There's two of the District six girls. And a guy from District Seven. I almost forgot about him. Thought he already died by now. His sister must be alive, too. This has been your short status update on Ephraim's whereabouts.

:( Boo hoo, tears are falling from my face as I write this. So sad. But that's enough death for today, we're geting down to the final eight soon.
