Day 3

Unfortunately, as previously warned, I'm gonna be a bit slower with uploads but in a way I'm glad; hopefully it'll improve the quality because right now I seriously feel like I'm in a bit of a funk. Enjoy the Chapter and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour!

Santana Wolf POV

Well Lupus is officially gone crazy already; you'll never guess who's being left to guard the supplies; me and Whittier. I mean, does he wanna lose an alliance member? I know for a fact the bitch is still butt hurt that I killed that kid before she could torture him more. She needs to get over herself because as soon as she comes after me, I don't care how much I've provoked her, she's getting her eyes gouged out. Actually where is she?

"Looking for someone" she pops up by my side.

"God!" I jump back "What the hell are you doing?"

"Well you see dearie, I've made it no secret I can't stand you."

"Yes dearie, I like to think I've done the same."

She flinches when I make fun of her.

"You're sarcastic ways aside; there is something extremely interesting to me about the power you hold. You're not like the others are you dearie? You see right through me."

"Thanks; it means so much to be complimented by a bottle blonde whore like you."

I expect her to flinch again but she comes closer, so we're face to face.

"Here's what I propose; you and I, two hot powerful bitches lead the Career alliance to victory. Then we get them to kill each other and then it's just you and me."

"A free trip the final 2 huh? I must say I'm impressed; but I know one thing that'll make this sweeter."

"Tell me."

I pause for a moment and look into her eyes as sincerely as I can. Then, I neatly punch her in the gut.

"You can take compliments from whores but you can't make deals with snakes."

"Eurgh, you- you bitch!"

She clutches her stomach in pain, lying on the floor. I look down at her with no pity.

"You won't break me" I whisper.

Cersai Grace Helms POV

Nobody has found me yet; I wonder why. I feel quite strange; at night my worry for Garrett fills my dreams until the sky becomes bright again but when it does, I don't worry anymore. In fact, I feel like I've just injected several needles full of morphine. Maybe it's just the relief that Terrian is dead but I'm not quite sure. Truly, I think I may have gone slightly mad. That's ok though because as mother used to say, the best people are. I'll just stay in this tree until I feel better; oh where's it gone. I'm sure it was here a moment ago. I guess I better start walking. I could hide in one of these buildings. Oh here's one and someone has already put down food for me. That's kind. Except, I'm not too hungry at this moment. I'll just curl in the corner until I'm hungry again.

Jenneth Myra Speare POV

"Jenneth you mustn't come with me; it's not good for the baby" Luke protests, trying to force me to sit down again.

"I'll decide what's good for this baby thank you; I need fresh air" I reply angrily.

I haven't been out for the last couple of days; Luke wants us to get at least one sponsor gift before we tone down our couple act. It's depressing pretending to be pregnant; I feel like a tramp and a traitor as far as Percy's concerned. Plus, if I don't think about the "baby" at all, I look careless. I can't even imagine how Luke must be feeling; at least Percy and I aren't actually together. But then my guilt covers Ruby too; we're risking the fact that she could claim Luke is cheating on her with me. But she wouldn't do that to her own boyfriend would she?

"Look I want to protect you and our child and it's hard to do that if I'm fighting another tribute or worse, a mutation" Luke continues.

"Fine, but take my knife to protect yourself; that gun thing is useless" I hand him the knife and he goes.

I hold the gun tightly; useless or not, it might look threatening to someone without any weapon at all.

BEEP

What was that?

BEEP

A bright light shines through the tiny window. Suddenly, a small blue bag materialises in front of me. I feel inside… darts. What am I gonna do with darts? I guess I could try and throw them. I take a look at the little label.

A Gift from the Gods to the most Popular Tribute!

I try and smile so I can be grateful to the Capitol people but I genuinely have no idea what to do with the darts. They're too heavy to throw; I tried. Hang on, this gun thing is about the same width. I wonder… yes, it fits.

"Help!"

Luke. I pick up the bag and the gun thing. When I run out, Luke isn't there. Then I look up. A huge bird creature holds Luke's shoulders in its huge talons. But this isn't some ordinary bird; attached to each set of talons is a human like leg. As I'm standing behind it, I see long golden hair cascading down its wings. I can't do this; I can't do this.

"Get off me you winged freak!" I hear Luke snarl.

The creature's talons tighten and I hear Luke wince in pain. I have to do this.

"Hey bird brain!" it turns around instantly at my call "Put him down!"

The creature's face appears human, but when it opens its mouth, I hear a squawk.

"Jenneth, no!" Luke cries.

As the creature flies up high, I put in a dart. Where's the trigger on this thing? Wait, it's like a tube. It's a blow gun. The creature swoops down and I put the end of the gun in my mouth.

"Jenneth!" Luke yells again.

A loud squawk is heard; golden feathers blur my vision but I just keep launching the darts. When I open my eyes again, the creature is on the ground, twitching slightly, but considering it's feathers have been tinted red, I'm not worrying as much about it. I rush over to Luke; he's conscience but his face is severely bruised from when the creature dropped him. I drag him as quickly as I can back to the little house. He drifts back out of conscieness but I watch as his stomach rises and falls over and over again. I hold his hand the whole time; its ok Luke, you're safe now.

Ares Tower POV

I don't know what Angel's deal is; before I saved her we were getting along fine, give or take some disagreements. But now she's avoiding me like the plague; I just don't get it. Girls. When we arrive back at the house, our stuff is in a mess and in the corner, a girl lies passed out.

"Whose that?" I ask.

"That's Cersai Grace Helms; she's the district 9 girl" Juliette informs us.

I've got to hand it to Juliette; she may not be the strongest but she's by far the smartest. She knows every tribute, first and last names as well as ages, heights and weights.

"We can't just let her stay there" Angel hisses "We've got to do something."

"Fine I'll wake her up" I go to poke her but Angel slaps my hand.

"Don't wake her up! What if she's armed you idiot?"

"Jesus, who rattled your cage Halo?"

Angel freezes on the spot; then she goes very red. The next thing I know I'm on the floor, Angel on top of me. Now bear in mind, I'm a large guy and Angel's properly a little below average height.

"Don't you ever call me that again Ares Tower or else- or else I don't know what I do but it won't be good, got that?" she barks.

"Err guys, the girl's waking up" Reedman pulls out his dagger; it's not a very big one but it'll do.

The girl's eyes blink open; she sits up and stretches before looking at us. She doesn't look the least bit afraid.

"Oh, are you the people that put out the food for me?" she says softly.

Ah Cersai, you crazy bitch. I think I've finally got my groove back in my opinion. I tried to make the whole Santana and Whittier thing bordering on flirting but primarily power based. The more I write for Luke and Jenneth, the more I grow to like them. I've also noticed that I usually have one like big event that's pretty long then a few that are smaller. But I dunno maybe you guys like that, just let know. Finally, if it's not clear Jenneth won the poll; well technically she tied with Angel but I decided to let Jenneth have it since I had an idea for her, plus Angel's my tribute.

Death List

24th- Lewis Simmons: I had no problem with him but I thought one of the alliances should have a loss plus I think following Ruby is the kind of thing Lewis would do. I will miss him though; he was all cheery.

23rd- Mai Moonheart: I always felt so sad when I was writing for her; I had no idea what to do with her character. I thought it'd be best if I just ended her pain.

22nd- Coal Hartcell: I felt kind of bad killing him because he's been pretty popular but I struggled to write for him.

21st- Terrian Demetrius: I'm sorry to his creator but he was one of the hardest characters for me to write for. I have no idea why. Plus, he was all bitchy towards Cersai and I'm thinking "this girl has enough issues without you targeting her".

20th- Riddell Thicket: After not giving him an alliance, I didn't know what to do with him. Sorry to everyone who supported him.
