Athena and Salem

So… hands up if your computer had a freak out when you were halfway through Day 17. Yeah; I'm in trouble. I'm writing this on my old laptop but if the new one isn't fixed by Saturday, I'll rewrite Day 17. You know what, I'm just doing my best here but it's nearly the Easter holidays which means I can finish these games within the next couple of weeks. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Then I'll probably start a new SYOT; which I'll be working on through exam season. YAY; I'll work round it. Enjoy the Chapter and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favour!

"Look, Johnson, one of the few things you are meant to do is sort out my complaints. I don't care if there are thirty thousand and I don't care if there are 30 million! Get it sorted; this will not be the last Hunger Games while I'm still alive. Now put me through to that Asian guy… what was his name?" as Athena walks in, Salem slams down his first phone and picks up another "Ah, Letsha konichiwa; wait you're Chinese? Sorry give me a sec."

"Good morning to you too" Athena smirks.

"You; this is all your fault with this ridiculous Greek theme! Do you how much this is costing? And what the heck did you give that idiot from district 9? She's seeing snake ladies left and right that aren't there; ooh Hades is so fired. Not to mention that girl from district 13; how did she get picked anyway?"

"Shut up."

Salem pauses.

"What?"

"I said" Athena lifts up a gun "Shut up."

"One gun; are you kidding? I'm the president baby; peacekeepers, show Miss Lockwood out" Salem snaps his fingers at the two peacekeepers standing by the door but they remain motionless "Can't you hear me you meat heads?"

The two peacekeepers look up only to reveal themselves as two of the gamemakers- Hera and Zeus.

"Where the hell are the real peacekeepers?" Salem growls.

"I gave them the day off; head gamemakers privileges. You should be more careful" she looks over at her confederates "Guard the door; don't let anyone in especially not his bitch wife."

"Athena come on; we've shared some good times and we want the same things. We can work this out."

"No we can't you fool; of course we don't want the same things. I just fed you that bullshit so you'd trust me. The real name's Stevie West. Recognise that last name Salem?"

"West; that girl from 13? That means; no."

"Your games killed my daughter and now I'm gonna kill you. That is, right after you've handed over the presidency to me."

"And why would I do that?"

"Remember that little afternoon we spent together? When you were all over me? It's amazing what a couple of hours of video editing can do."

"Wait… this doesn't make any sense; you didn't think to rescue your daughter first?"

"There were… delays. For one thing, that sweet make up assistant, Clarice, she nearly found out. Unfortunately, the means of getting her out the way took a long time. I thought my baby girl would be able to hold it out a little longer but she couldn't."

"What about the others? Do they know?"

"All of them accept Aphrodite; she was just silly Capitol girl who we got to make all this seem real."

"Oh you won't get away with this!"

"Watch me."

"Drop the gun bitch" says a voice from the door.

Oria Moralis storms in, gun in her hand; she walks closer until she's face to face with Athena/Stevie.

"Alright honey; don't do anything stupid" Stevie says.

"Honey? I thought I was Salem's "bitch wife"; what do you think I am dumb or something?" Oria presses the gun to Stevie's head, but Stevie's gun remains aimed at Oria's torso.

"You tell her baby!" Salem says.

"Can it! You cheated on me with this trash! But I'm totally willing to overlook it if- you let pick next year's gamemaker."

"Why?"

"I like having control over you; it's fun!"

"Fine."

"Ok I'll just kill her now."

"Hang on a sec; we can do this together Oria. You and me; we girls have to stick together right?" Stevie begs.

Oria pauses and smiles sympathically at Stevie.

"You're right" she says softly.

"Really?" Stevie and Salem say in unison.

"Nope."

BANG

Stevie West falls to the ground and Oria runs over to her fiancé.

"Salem!" she leaps into his arms "Now things can go back to normal."

"We'll run the Hunger Games together from now on" he agrees.

"Forever?"

"And ever."

"And ever" the two say in unison.

Ok that probably made 0 sense but I don't write these chapter to make sense; I write them when I'm bored or when I owe you guys a chapter.

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".

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.

23rd/12th- Riddell Thicket (first time): After not giving him an alliance, I didn't know what to do with him. Sorry to everyone who supported him.

(second time): 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.
