Day 16

So I know I'm being slow lately but I'm hoping that you understand that at least for now, it'll be routine. I'm sorry; I've tried but I'm just screwing up lately. I'm gonna try and get the last few chapters up quickly. But for now thank you for your reviews. Honestly some of them really make me smile and laugh sometimes especially the guest reviews. Enjoy the Chapter and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour!

Santana Wolf POV

"Santana! Wake up" I hear Scout's voice as he shakes me; if I ignore him he'll go away.

But no, the shaking persists.

"What?" I hiss picking up the throwing knife I keep by myself "What is so important?"

"I need you to come with me; I'm gonna find Juliette" he nods confidently.

"Are you kidding me? Look, Scout, you and Juliette had a good run but you need to move on. It's bad enough being dumped in general but here your risking a whole lot more trying to get her back."

"I don't mind taking risks; she still loves me."

"Jesus, you're some kind of hopeless romantic ain't you? Fine, go."

"I need you to come with me."

"And I need someone more interesting to talk to so I guess we're both screwed."

"If I go alone again, they're gonna suspect something; I think they already do. With you with me, they'll just think we're hunting. They don't think you look out for anyone but yourself."

"I doubt it; for them to think that they'd have to be smart. What's in it for me?"

Scout looks a little panicked; I guess he didn't expect me to ask for something back. But I've given away too much of my time for free. It's time I started taking this shit seriously. I look over at a torch lying on Scout's sleeping bag. The purple bulb glows even without light. Most would take it for your average flashlight. But those things are pretty special; they're powered by nightlock. It can stun your bigger tribute and go as far as putting the little ones in a coma. I shouldn't know that; it's pretty much just Capitol scientists and a couple of researchers that know.

"Give me the torch and we've got a deal" I say.

Well, and the girl who was assigned an essay on "Alternate Uses of Nightlock" in the fourth grade.

Whittier Lear POV

We watch Santana walk away with Scout. Ah Santana; she just has to take any chance possible to be a little traitor.

"I don't get it. Why's Santana going with Scout?" Lupus asks me loudly.

I put my finger to his lips to stop him speaking until they're gone.

"If you ever speak unless spoken to again, I'll rip your lips off" I smirk "Please don't make me do that; I don't wanna miss out on your half rate kisses."

He doesn't say anything and we follow Santana and Scout; I wonder if Scout's new sweetheart has an ally. I could get two kills in one day. When they enter a clearing and stop, Lupus and I stay in the trees. A girl and a boy sit opposite each other; the girl notices them first.

"Scout" she says "Why are you here?"

"I don't believe you" he replies.

"What?"

"I don't believe you never loved me."

"Scout; don't do this."

"Look me in the eye and say I'm wrong."

"Hey leave her alone man" the district 6 boy cuts in.

"Juliette?"

"Stop it."

"Just do it."

"Fine; I love you! Is that what you wanted to hear? All I've ever done is what I've been told; well now I'm gonna do what I want and what I wanna do is this."

The girl marches over to Scout and kisses him forcefully; ShowTime. I nod at Lupus and he grabs the boy from 6 from behind and covering his mouth.

"Isn't this touching?" as I make my entrance Scout and Juliette simultaneously pull away from each other "No please carry on."

"I-I'm sorry; I kissed him. It wasn't-"she stops speaking when I raise my sword so it narrowly misses her pretty little face.

"You misguided girl; you know nobody lets whores speak. Are you dumb or something?"

"I-I-"

"I-I- cat got your tongue?"

Scout looks over at her concernedly. I walk over to him pulling the girl by her hair.

"Let me explain something to you Scout. You make me feel like a little kid, with all my little toys. But I don't like sharing my toys so when someone tries to steal one, they have to be punished" I stab the girl in the gut and let her go; the boy from 6 kicks Lupus in the knee and runs over but Scout stays still "Why don't you do something Scout? This might be your only chance."

He tries to come towards her but the boy shields Juliette from him.

"Don't come near her you coward; all of you- go" he says.

"Whose gonna make us?" Lupus snarls.

"No; we're going to go" I say "Let's leave her with the person who cares."

I grab Scout's arm and pull him away; he doesn't look back. He just keeps his head down.

BOOM

"That'll be her" I smile satisfied; when we arrive back at camp a push Scout to the ground "You seem to think that you have some kind immunity with me. I'm going to straighten that out. Remember what I said about toys? What I didn't tell you is that when I get bored with a toy, I break it. So if you push me any further, you will break."

"Right I'm out of here. Your nuts" Santana picks up a blue backpack and her throwing knives.

"Oh; it speaks. Were you too scared to help earlier Sasstana; too scared to help your little buddy Scout?"

"Don't try and guilt trip me; I'm not friends with cowards."

Scout keeps his head down.

"Well then you're free to go" I say cheerily picking up my sword "If you can."

I nod at Lupus and he picks up his bow. As he lines up an arrow, Santana pull something out her pocket.

"What are you gonna do with a flash- arrh!" Lupus falls to the ground but she hasn't attacked him.

I run towards her and raise my sword, but then I feel myself falling too. What's she doing to me? I hear her footsteps but I can't see anything. She's blinded me; that bitch. When my vision comes back, she's gone. Lupus is still in shock.

"Idiot!" I say kicking him in the side.

Cersai Grace Helms POV

I can hear them now; the voices that were in my dreams. They have made their way into reality and I'm looking for them. I finally brought justice to the world; I killed Angel. Maybe I shouldn't have killed the others but that's Ares fault. He brought their deaths, not me. I see a cave in the distance; the voices get louder when I look in that direction. I enter it.

"Sister is that you?" a voice hisses; it's one I have heard but now I hear it out loud.

"Who is this?" I call.

"You are she who turns her foes to stone, she who bring justice correct?" a second voice which I also recognise adds.

"Who are you? Why can nobody hear you but me?"

"Identify yourself and we shall answer" the first says.

"Cersai Grace Helms."

"You lie! Did you are did you not turn a victim to stone?"

"Y-yes, yes I did."

"Then you are she; our sister."

"Show yourself!"

Two women walk out of the dark; they're pretty but they're hair is strange. It looks a little… green and- scaly? I come closer and to my horror a strand of the second woman's hair hisses at me. I jump back and the two women smile.

"You needn't be afraid of us Medusa" the first says.

"M-medusa? I'm not Medusa!" I back away clutching my hair; it's still the same.

"You are she!" they yell at me.

"No I'm not. I am human; I'm human!"

"You are one of us; our sister."

"I'm human; my name is Cersai Grace Helms and I am human. I'm human; I'm human!"

I yell it until my voice becomes hoarse. I was never an oracle; this was a trick. I killed innocent people. What's happening to me? I am not human; I'm a killer. If I'm not human then what am I? What are they?

I'm so confused by what I've written. I have no idea where this is gonna go. I'm sorry if it's crap and unbelievable. Let me know if it's bad and I'll try and edit it somehow.

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.

13th- Angel West: Call me self centred, but I love writing for my own characters. However, Angel's story had to come to an end because I've been writing it like that I guess. Plus, love has to end in tragedy in the games. It's a shame really because I loved her and Ares as a couple.

12th- Riddell Thicket: I quite liked him and like I said I probably could have given him more storyline but ultimately while he was a good character, he was one of the harder to write for characters.

11th- Aurora Felici: Poor thing was basically just another victim in Cersai's little riot; I always liked her but I just never really thought of much storyline other than the one at the last minute.

10th- Dandelion Wildflee: Loved her; loved her a lot. She has always been one of those character who actually cares about a lot of people. She never went crazy but she had a cowardly moment and I dunno, I just feel like, after a while, she got lost in the crowd.

9th- Juliette Ryde: Ok I'm gonna level with you guys; when I kill someone off I'm not entirely honest in why I kill them off. A lot of the time I love the character but I just find a way that their death will fit for a good story and I'm afraid this was the case for Juliette.
