So yeah ahah. Umm where was I AHA! Yes. If you want to get the latest updates on my writing you can follow me on twitter at Retrak_Omicron so yeah! On with the chapter!

~Robbie LeBlanc-Head Gamemaker~

Twenty down, ten to go. I just want this to be over with. It's not like the tributes will even be good. I glance over at Ice who smiles at me.

"Robbie. Pay attention, the boy from Ten is using knives right now." She whispers to me. I have to hold back a laugh. I turn back to the kid holding knives. The boy Rebel throws a knife at one of the targets. It hits the outer ring of the bullseye. He cringes and reaches for another knife and throws. This time he hits the dead center and smiles to himself. He runs and grabs one knife and an axe. He runs to the tree and jumps at it. He kicks off the tree and throws his knife, it flies and hits the stomach of a dummy. He lands on the ground and rolls. Once he is on his feet he runs at the dummy and chops it's head off.

"You may leave now Rebel." I say. He exits the room with a grin on his face. His district partner enters the room.

Twiff Opal walks towards the knives and picks up a skinny knife with a serrated edge. She then runs to the sword station and picks up a short sword. She then runs to a dummy and jumps on it's back. She takes the knife and stabs it into it's neck and spins it. She then brings the sword around and stabs it into the dummy's stomach. She flips herself over the dummy whilst still holding the sword. When her feet touch the ground she yanks out the sword. She exits the room soon after.

The boy from Eleven enters the room and grabs a bow and arrow. He strings it and launches two arrows at once at the bullseye.

One of the arrows hits the outer ring and the other hits just off of the center. Jayden strings three arrows this time. He hold the bow and takes a deep breath. He launches his arrows. It seems like the world goes in slow motion as the arrows fly through the air.

One in the center and two in the ring around it. Great shots. I smile as Ice tells him his time I up.

Briona Newleaf enters the room and heads over to the knife station and takes two knives. She then grabs a rope and ties the ends onto the hilts of the knives. She holds the middle of the rope and starts to spin the ends with the knives attached to them. As she spins the knives she walks to the dummies and throws her weapon. The rope wraps around the dummies throat. It spins the knives around it's throat until they stab into it's neck. We dismiss her after this.

Geofri Loid of District Twelve enters the room. He grabs a large war hammer that has a huge spike on one end and a wide flat end on one side. He swings the hammer at the first dummy he sees. The spike stabs the dummy's head causing it to burst. He then asks for a sparring partner. A man comes out holding an axe and runs at Geofri. Geofri ducks under the blade, he then slams the flat end against the mans stomach and he crumples to the floor. Geofri swings the spiked bit at the mans head, stopping inches away from his eyes. His time is now up.

Crissi Branwin walks in and picks up a mace. She does a quick swing in an upwards arc before nodding at it in approval. She walks towards the knot tying station and starts to make a trap. She attaches it to a branch on the tree and drags a dummy over to it. She sets the dummy's foot on the circular part of the trap and the fake human flies into the air. The dummy is held in the air by it's leg which gives Crissi open access to it. Crissi screams and swings her mace, crushing the skull of the dummy. Most of the gamemakers are nodding in approval. This is a sign that Crissi's time is up.

The first of the two Capitol boys come in. I can tell right away that it's Lane as he goes to the axe station. He picks out a large battle axe and walks to the targets. He swings his axe and in one motion two of the dummies are split in two. He goes on to try and destroy as many things before his time is up.

Lane's twin brother Trent enters the room and grabs a spear and throws it with all his might at the neck of a dummy. It goes right through and hits the wall on the other side. Next Trent runs and picks up another spear. He sets up a whole row of hurdles and runs at them. He vaults the first five then dives over the last two. As he dives he throws his spear at the dummy in front of him. It skewers where it's heart should be.

Sahara Quill, the older girl from the Capitol, grabs a blow gun from a table. She targets the major arteries on the dummies. She also describes what types of plants she could rub onto the dart.

Last is the twelve year old girl Triella Stone. She walks out in front of us and grabs a sword. She swings it at a dummy, cutting it's chest before bursting into tears and running out of the room.

I turn to Ice. "I guess we have to score them now."

"I guess so too." Ice says.

~Spark-Former Capitol Citizen~

I haven't seen Sothe for four days. It seems like forever. I want him to be here with me now instead of at the stupid Capitol. It's not fair. The scoring will be on the TV soon. I hope his tributes do well.

There are lots of tributes who will be great this year and some who won't. Let the games begin, let them begin for real.

So now for the big news. No Interviews. They will come in flashbacks when I get to the final ten or so. So can you guess what chapter is next? THE BLOODBATH! Get ready!

Hey if you read my last story Little Deaths, you will remember this!

Capitol Questions of the day!

1. What Non-Tribute character would you like to see more of? Spark? Robbie? Sothe? Ambrosia? Ice? Or The President?

2. Looking at the scores who do you think is most likely going to die on the first day?

3. Which District do you think will get the farthest?

Only three for today! Good Luck to all your tributes and may the odds be ever in your favor!
