The Crazy Eights

Basically I've got writer's block in terms of Day 13; I may upload it tomorrow if I can. I was originally going to put this at the end of Day 13 but I'm gonna put it on a separate chapter so I can at least give you guys something. If you don't remember who the Crazy Eights are, they're the gang Angel was in back in District 8.

Deep in the basement of Capitol Studios, the screams of the mad, imperfect and rebellious can be heard, blocked out from the outside world by the loud music and sound effects played on the "popular" TV shows produced. Somewhere in the studios lies Clarice Nolan, the former make up artist of Raymond Miles. But this isn't her story; not at the moment anyway. Anywho, even deeper, deeper, deeper…. DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPER…. Is large stone room. On four upturned stone slabs lie the Crazy Eights; Carmen, Nick, Switch and Johnny. All four are unconscious, having been tortured to a point of exhaustion since the games begun. Suddenly the door swings open and in walks President Salem himself. The four don't stir. With a tut Salem gestures to a peacekeeper who pulls a lever. The Crazy Eights are shocked awake; the groan in pain.

"Well, well, if it isn't the "Crazy Eights"; you look somewhat… uncomfortable" he smirks.

"Fuck you asshole" growls Nick croakily; while none of the four had said a word about what happened, Nick had been the one to provoke the torturers the most and as a result, was physically weakened more than the others.

Salem tuts again and shakes his head; the peacekeeper pulls a second lever solely electrocuting Nick.

"Nick!" Carmen cries; always appearing tougher previously, she had been badly shaken when Angel went into the games and was the least stable of the four.

Salem walks over and strokes the girl's face.

"Stupid young woman; you despise your friends' pain but refuse to save them" he looks into her eyes; after a few moments tears begin to drip down her cheeks and he turns to Switch "What about you young man? You gonna talk English or what?"

"W-w-w-wub" Switch stammers; he had said little but no one was sure whether it was because he wouldn't or couldn't.

Either way, the peacekeepers remained as ruthless. Finally the President comes to Johnny who hasn't even looked up yet. It's unsurprising; he'd never said anything, not a single word. Likewise, he hadn't looked at anyone since they were taken from District 8. He closed his eyes if he was forced but as Salem came close, he looked directly at him.

"You" he murmurs before the President could speak "You and the Capitol; you will crumble down to the ground until there is nothing left but rubble."

"You won't be alive to see that day kid; you have no idea who you're dealing" Salem points at Nick "Kill the big mouthed one first."

"No please don't!" Carmen cries but she's of course ignored.

"Bring it bitch" Nick snarls; the peacekeeper pulls down the lever and in seconds he is dead.

"Kill the stupid one now; slowly" Salem gestures to Switch.

"Stop; Johnny make him stop!" Carmen begs again; Switch dies anyway.

"I'm sick of this one's whining; maybe we'll get something out of the last one if we kill her. You gonna try and save your girlfriend?"

Salem and Johnny stare at each other for a long time; Carmen winces and Johnny shakes his angrily.

"Fine I'll talk; just leave her alone" he commands.

"Let the girl go; send her to another room."

"No! I'm not letting you do this to her Johnny; you're not doing it to Angel just for me. You could have done it for Nick or Switch but you're not doing it for me" Carmen glares at Salem "And Mr President; a storm is coming. You don't know where it's gonna come from but it'll come. And you won't live to see its end."

"Shut her up; for good" Salem nods to the peacekeeper and he pulls down the lever.

"Goodbye Johnny" Carmen smiles.

"CARMEN!" Johnny yells as the electric goes through Carmen's body.

Her body becomes motionless and Johnny closes his eyes with one thought in his mind- they won't die for nothing.

Wow I made that longer than I thought I would; tell me what you think. I may continue this at a later date.

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.

19th- Dusty Abernez: In short, I thought I should have another death and believe me, choosing who to kill off was pretty bloody hard. In the end I chose Dusty, just because I thought he'd fallen under Whittier's spell the most and was therefore most likely to do something stupid.

18th- Ruby Rachel Rodriguez: I literally chose the first person who I could think of a death for; it was the only way.

17th- Annaliese Slate: Pretty much the same reason as Ruby but also because I didn't want her death end up too cliché.

16th- Jayden Williams: He wasn't as popular as some other tributes and I thought he'd run his course.

15th- Reedman Phelps: Like Jayden, he wasn't overly popular but I did like him quite a bit; at least he died a good man.

14th- Jenneth Myra Speare: She was actually reasonably popular but I just wasn't feeling her storyline anymore; also, I unfortunately left her in an awkward position what with her critical injuries and all.

13th- Clio Slate: I just couldn't think of much more to write about him and I thought he should go out before his storyline got boring. Also, selfish as it is, I kind of felt like his death will somewhat do Annaliese good.

12th- Nicole Jade Smith: I just felt like- "You know what, she's done enough." Also, it was a crazy on crazy meet up so… WHAT THE HECK DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN?

11th- Luke Matthew Pond: I've always considered him a pretty smart character, the type that looks at things from a logical point of view so it's the not that surprising the whole Ruby thing freaked him the crap out. To be honest, I did think about him winning at some point, but after Jenneth got stabbed I was just like, this isn't gonna happen really is it? Still, an awesome character and I'm sorry to get rid of him.
