~Kieran Hanson-District Six~

No, why. No. My hand. My hand. I lean against one of the walls of the maze. I look at my hand to see that my index and middle finger are missing and my ring finger and pinky are now little nubs on my hand. Tears steam down my face.

"Why?" I whisper to myself. I look up to see Wylie running over to me, holding a knife and a small bag. He leans against the wall beside me on my left.

"Kieran, did you go to get a weapon? Cuz I did and it's ha...Kieran, what happened to your hand? Oh my god!" Wylie drops to his knees and rips open his bag. He pulls out a spool of thread and grimaces. "I'm going to sew the wounds shut okay?" I nod as he threads the needle and brings it to my hand. He stops momentarily before handing me his knife. "Put the handle in your mouth. Don't scream."

I do as I'm told. The needle goes into the flesh around the wound and I scream. Into my skin, out of my skin. Over and over. By the time he's finished my hand is on fire and I have tears rolling freely down my face.

I wipe them away as fast as I can when I see Olivia running over to us with a few knives.

"I can't find Kim! She's wasn't at the cornucopia." Olivia says. Her eyes flick to my mangled hand and sighs. "Kieran what happened?"

"I'll tell you later, but we have to find Kimmit first." I say. I take a knife in my right hand and run off towards the cornucopia with Wylie and Olivia on my tail. "Kimmit!" I yell.

The boy from Five runs out in front of me holding a knife. I take my knife and swipe it across his chest. Then I push him to the ground. The three of us run to the opposite side of the cornucopia to find Kim locked in a sword battle with the boy from One.

Kimmit ducks under one of his blows and lashes out with her sword. It draws blood on her opponent's knee. He snarls and thrusts with his sword and stabs Kim in the shoulder. Wylie yells and runs out at him, Olivia and I run out a few seconds after. The boy yells in horror and runs from us.

"Come on Kim, let's get into the maze!" Wylie screams. As we run to the closest exit we pick up our bags. I grab a small satchel with a red cross on it and a medium sized bag that goes over both shoulders. Olivia picked up another small bag and threw it on her shoulders. We enter the maze in such a rush that I don't even pay attention to the turns we make.

~Lane Hallows-Capitol Tribute~

Run.

That's the first thing that's what comes to my mind when the gong rings. I need a weapon. Its a choice between life and death.

Life: run and get a weapon.

Death: run into one of the corridors to where I could get killed by a mutt or by a tribute later on.

I choose life.

I make my way towards the cornucopia as fast as I can. My pace weakens when I spot a body on the ground.

"No." I whimper. I run towards the body of my ally. "Sahara?" I wipe away a tear that wells in my eye and jump to my feet. I can't be caught up by her death. She's a friend, a friend that's dead.

I make my way into the horn and find a battle axe shoved underneath a box. I grip the handle and pull with all my might.

"Come on!" I groan. I look up to wipe the sweat from my brow only to see a figure in the reflection of the cornucopia. It raises something in it's hands. I roll to my left just avoiding being impaled by a spear. I look up to see my twin brother Trent standing in front of me.

"Fancy seeing you here Lane!" Trent says. I smile at my brother, but I don't get one in return.

"What's wrong Trent?" I ask. He continues to stare at me. "Trent I asked you a question! What's wrong?"

"Shes dead." He whispers.

"Who? Sahara? I know that."

"No!" He snarls. "Not her! Mom! She's dead."

"I know that! She died three years ago! Why are you bringing this up?" I ask. His lips raise into a smile and before I can even move his spear is in my shoulder.

"Because I killed her! I got my first taste of blood all those years ago and have been waiting for the right moment to kill again. Then the games come around and why would I miss this opportunity?" I don't even have time to scream before his spear enters my eye socket and I fade from the world forever, but I did have time to think of a name.

Vorth.

~Oriana Dupree-District Five~

One arrow is all it takes to kill a tribute.

One arrow to end a life.

The heart, the jugular and the eye. My main targets.

I yank the bow and arrows out of a crate I find sitting on the outskirts of the cornucopia. I guess in the heat of the moment I forgot our team's plan. I see Rebel has his hatchet and Twiff has her knives.

"Rebel, look out!" I scream when I see a figure emerge from inside the cornucopia. I string an arrow and release it before Rebel moves. The boy moves right before the arrow would have hit his heart. It stabs his upper arm and gives Rebel enough time to run away.

"Come on! Let's go!" Twiff screams as she runs past me. I turn and follow her. We run into the closest corridor and wait for Rebel. When he gets to us we sprint down the hall.

First left turn.

Next right.

I notice a small hole in one of the walls, when I look around there's one about every ten feet. What are they? I can't worry about them now, I have to keep running.

A left.

Then another left.

After ten minutes I have no clue where I am.

This maze could be my savior, or my assailant. I only wish it could be the first one.

Capitol Questions of the day!

1: Do you think the tributes should try and pay attention to where they are going in the maze or should they not care?

2: With the loss of most of the fingers on Kieran's left hand, do you think it will affect him in the games later on?

3: Why would Lane's last thought be the name of one of the most ruthless players in the history of the games?

4: In the next chapter who do you think will die? And who do you think will kill them?

A/N You can find a new poll on my wall, there you can vote on which Non Tribute character I will write a POV for next!
