Day 13

Ok I should just explain that we're not down to the final 10; Luke is only written as being 11th because that's not including the three that returned. So from now on that weird below bit is gonna go from 27th onwards. Anywho, the reason I've been putting off updating this is because I have minor writer's block. But for now I'm basing the deaths on the poll results so please don't be mad if I kill someone you loved; I'm just not sure how to work this out. I can't pick a name out of a hat or something because there's a couple of people's deaths' I've already planned but who I don't wanna kill just yet. Enjoy the Chapter and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour!

Ruby Rachel Rodriguez POV

Something's grabbing my leg.

"Help!" I yell.

"Shut up" she snarls.

"Lisey?"

"Don't call me that; now get the hell out of the tree before I come up there and throw you out."

"You and what army?"

It comes out automatically, out of habit. I wouldn't have given it a second thought before but- well let's just say death has made me more cautious. Annaliese narrows her eyes.

"Get out; now" she commands sternly.

I do as she says even though I don't know what's going on. It's light but the sun is low in the sky; it's early. I doubt she wants to abandon Dani especially taking me, a perfect stranger, with her.

"What's your weapon?" she asks.

"What?" I reply.

"What weapon do you use, you idiot? Sword, bow and arrow or do you not have one?"

"Throwing knives; I use throwing knives."

"Hmm; throwing knives eh? Prove it."

"How?"

"You're pretty slow aren't you? Take these throwing knives, pick a target and aim for it; hopefully that's simple enough for you."

I nervously take one of the knives. I look around; there are three trees I could aim for. One pretty close but at more of an angle, one far away that's straight ahead and the one where Dani sleeps and our supplies hang. Hang on, I've got an idea.

"The close one; on the right" I nod at Annaliese.

She nods back and focusses on the tree. I direct my attention at my target and hurl the knife. Our supplies crash to the ground, waking Dani who jumps back in fright. Annaliese glares at me.

"What the fuck was that?" she growls.

"Taking a risk; the best attack is a surprise one" I explain.

Annaliese pauses, then she smiles.

"Impressive kid" she looks over at Dani "Morning."

Santana Wolf POV

Not that I'm his keeper but where's Scout? I know for a fact I'm gonna get it in the neck if he doesn't come back. Mind you, god knows where Tweedle Blonde and Tweedle Can't Keep It In His Pants have got to. I dread to think. Although according to the rest of them, I probably don't think at all. See they might think I just say whatever comes into my head that's just not the case.

"I shouldn't keep doing this; you have more to lose than I do" I hear the faint voice nearby.

"I don't mind; I can take them" is that Scout?

"You're very brave."

I follow the voices; they aren't too far into the woods. Scout stands opposite a girl whose district I'm not totally sure of. I really should kill her; I'm not a heartless bitch, I'm just trying to save Scout from the inevitable. But I don't want to do that and I've said from the beginning I'd play this game how I want to. Neither of them are armed so I slowly walk towards them.

"Santana" Scout gasps "I-"

"Don't try and explain yourself; just be grateful I'm not Whittier. But if I were you, I'd end this thing on a high note" I look over at the girl "Listen, I don't know who you are but trust me, if this gets found out, you'll be the one getting hurt, not him."

The girl looks twice as scared as before; weren't my intention but if it does the job I won't be feeling guilty. But maybe I should say something to sweeten it a little.

"Look if you really want to risk this you can. But be careful" I warn them.

"Will you tell anyone?" the girl asks as I turn my back.

"In this game I always do what I want to and right now, I don't want to."

I listen for the sound of the slight shuffling as they go slightly closer to each other. They know they're safe as far as I'm concerned. When the hell did I become the god damn love guru?

Cersai Grace Helms POV

The sight of the two of them together is sickening; I wish I could tell Ares what she is but he'd never believe me. He's too far under her spell. I'll have to kill her, not that I mind. Killing Nicole was exhilarating; the risk and the feeling of justice being served. I didn't take her weapon; I've stowed it away just so I still seem weak. I don't know how I can get to Angel; ever since I told her what I know she won't be my hunting partner. It's so frustrating. Juliette's no help; her loyalties lie with Ares and she's too soft to be convinced otherwise. I'm rushed for time now; it won't be long before the three of them realise my feelings towards Angel and she convinces them to kill me. I just need to get her in a position where she trusts me, just a little.

"Well, I'm gonna call it a night; you two decide amongst yourselves whose keeping watch tonight" Ares tells me and Angel; Juliette's already sleeping.

He lies down and Angel and I are left alone. We stare at each other until Ares is asleep.

"If you don't mind, I'll keep watch; having you do it would make me feel less than safe" Angel says pointedly.

"Fine by me; I'm not gonna be here" I say trying to sound kind of sad.

"Why not?"

"I'm going out to look for supplies; I wanna make it up to everyone. I'm sorry about how I've treated you."

"You know where I'm from Cersai; I think we both know that people from my parts don't trust easily; I won't get double crossed."

"You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. If I'm not back by morning, please try and find me."

"Whatever."

I leave her satisfied with the results; she doesn't know I can hear even the slightest bit of sympathy in a voice. She will come looking; and I'll be waiting for her.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN; Cersai is fricken crazy. I love writing for Santana. Sorry this was only 3 POVS and was a bit shorter but I hope your satisfied anyway. I know I've been pretty delayed but I'm trying. There probably won't be a chapter tomorrow but Thursday's possible.

Death List

27th- 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.

26th- 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.

25th- Coal Hartcell: I felt kind of bad killing him because he's been pretty popular but I struggled to write for him.

24th- 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".

23rd- Riddell Thicket: After not giving him an alliance, I didn't know what to do with him. Sorry to everyone who supported him.

22nd- 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.

21st- Ruby Rachel Rodriguez: I literally chose the first person who I could think of a death for; it was the only way.

20th- Annaliese Slate: Pretty much the same reason as Ruby but also because I didn't want her death end up too cliché.

19th- Jayden Williams: He wasn't as popular as some other tributes and I thought he'd run his course.

18th- Reedman Phelps: Like Jayden, he wasn't overly popular but I did like him quite a bit; at least he died a good man.

17th- 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.

16th- 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.

15th- 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?

14th- 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.
