A/N Okay I need help! So I'm just going to warn you that this chapter is just about the careers. I didn't want to do this but I had a feeling this would be more interesting then my other idea. Plus careers are kind of awesome. Next chapter I promise to have some of the other District kids. But for now ENJOY!

Careers

~Talise Gold-District One~

My eyes open in the early hours of the morning. I step outside and notice that the sun is just rising over the walls of the arena. I notice that our hunting party hasn't returned yet, hopefully they will come back in the next few hours. At least they didn't close us in underground. I reach inside the tent and grab one of the bags. When I open it I see a box of pre-toasted toast. I grab a piece and shove it into my mouth.

"Looks tasty." Someone says to my right. I turn my head to see Lyra from District Eight moving out of her tent. I nod and toss her the box, I should at least try and make friends with them since they may have to be our allies just incase our other 'friends' don't return. She smiles gratefully and grabs her own piece. "All we need is butter." I say with a giggle. She laughs in return.

"And some of that orange juice they had in the Capitol, I wish I had more before I got into the arena." She says. I'm taken aback a little; she never had orange juice in District Eight before. Things must be very different in other Districts. I smile at her.

"Why don't you give some to Igris?" I suggest. She nods and returns to her tent. I go back into my tent and open a random box. Inside are crackers with cheese melted on them, Seathe will love these. Right before I leave my tent I remember my sword. I grab it and loop the strap around my waist. I make my way towards our designated watching place, where I see Seathe sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"I don't want to kill them Terri, I need them to get me further in the games. What? No that's insane. I wouldn't be talking to you i-" She pauses and cocks her head to the right. "Someone is close? Shh, I'll talk later." She whispers. I walk towards her slowly and sit down next to her. She looks up from the ground and smiles at me. "Did you bring me breakfast?" She asks. I smile and pass her the crackers. She rips open the box and stuffs three crackers into her mouth. She moans softly and leans back on her elbows. We sit next to each other for a while longer. Seathe stands up she moves towards our tent, dragging her whip behind her as goes.

I look up at the sun for a moment before tearing my eyes away from the intense light. She was talking to her brother, her dead brother Terri. So what Lake said was true, she was crazy. No, not was, she IS crazy. At least she doesn't want to kill us yet. I hear someone walking towards me, I grip my sword's hilt in my hand.

"Easy." I hear Igris rasp. He sits down next to me on the ground massaging his purple neck. He has a tin can in his hands which he opens to reveal some yellow goo. He catches me eyeing it up which makes him smirk. "For the neck, it will take away the pain and the bruising." He slathers some on his neck and sighs. He looks at the skin on my wrist which has a tinge of green. I twisted it when I decapitated the boy from Five. He takes my hand in his a rubs some goo in my bruise. He looks up at me and smiles, his golden brown eyes burning into my own violet ones. They cause be to smile back at him.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"Shouldn't our allies be back soon?" Igris asks. I look at him and nod, but really they should have been back hours ago. They could be lost, they might be deep in the arena, or they could be hot on the trail of another tribute. In this arena we will never know.

~Felicit Tenta-District Seven~

"We're lost Trent!" Ronan yells as he pushes Trent up against the closest wall. Trent grimaces and spits in Ronan's face causing, him to flinch. This gives Trent a moment to react. He pulls his spear out of its harness on his back and points the tip at Ronans heart. I see the muscles in his arms pulse as he goes for the kill. I scream and throw a hatchet at the spear, splitting it in two.

"Stop!" I scream. Trent scowls at me and pulls a dagger out of his belt. I raise my other hatchet. "If you move you get this axe in your head." My statement causes Trent to snicker.

"And then what? Have the only person who kind of knows the way back to camp die? Good choice, sweet cheeks." I frown at him and move over to Lake.

"What are we going to do? We're lost, we haven't slept since we got in the arena and our water is almost all gone. I think we're screwed." I whisper. He looks me over with a look of frustration on his face, and then turns to the group.

"We need to move! We are low on supplies and we need some sleep. We need to get back to camp soon or that thing may find us." Lake announces. Everyone but Trent nods in agreement.

We have rounded our third corner when I realize that I forgot the hatchet I threw at Trents spear. I stop in the middle of our group, causing Triella to bump into me.

"Watch it!" She snarls. I scowl at her.

"I need to go back." I say. Lake looks at me funny. "I forgot that hatchet, do you want a tribute to find it and sneak up on us?" I ask. He nods and tells Triella, Zanther, and Kyla to go with me.

As we are about to round the corner leading to the hatchet I hear a snicker. I stop and raise my hand to warn the others. I peek around the corner to see the Tributes from District's Three and Six. One of the boys is holding the hatchet and is saying something to the girl Six. I look back at Kyla who has loaded her bow and arrows. She raises an eyebrow at me. I grab her by the shoulder and pull her over to me.

"See the tall girl? Aim for her, try and take her out. When the arrow is shot we will run in and deal with the others." She nods in agreement. While I tell the others she starts to aim. I look back at her. "Ready?" I ask. Kyla nods.

"Ready." And with that she fires her arrow. We hear a scream from the other corridor and we run. We enter the corridor weapons raised. The girl from Six is holding her shoulder where Kyla must have shot. "No, I missed!" Kyla yells as she pulls a dagger out of her belt. I look at the battle unfolding around me. Triella has her sword out and is attacking the boy with the Axe. Kyla is lashing at the boy with missing fingers and Zanther has taken on the girl with the arrow sticking out of her shoulder, leaving the girl with the sword skills for me.

The girl rushes at me with her sword pointed at my chest. When she is close enough she swings at my neck. I duck and swing my axe at her rib cage, the girl jumps to the left barely avoiding my blow. I cringe when I feel something slash across my back, it's soon wet with my blood. Tears burn my eyes as I swing my axe. Her blade gets caught in the hook of my axe. I kick her in the stomach and she lets go of her sword and falls to the ground. I raise my axe above my head, getting ready to cause her death, when I feel the blood hit my face. My head whips to the right to catch the end of Triella's deadly move. The boy from Three in on his knees with blood pouring down his chest. Triella has the tip of her sword placed on the top of his head. Tears streak his dirty face, Triella roars as she shoves the sword though his skull.

Boom

The fighting stops.

"Wylie!" The girl on the ground screams. I only have enough time to look at her for a second before the arena around us suddenly explodes and I am pushed into darkness.

~Lake Micheals-District Two~

"Holy Shit!" Ronan yells when he sees the cloud of flames erupt into the sky where our allies went. The ground trembles around us. The walls of the arena seem to be getting higher.

"Guys look." I say as I point at the walls. Trent and Ronan gasp. The walls are much higher than before. We seem to be getting lowered into the ground, the deeper and deeper we go the farther away from the sky we are.

Screeeeeech

I cover my ears at the horrible sound, as the sound echoes through the arena. I look up at the sky only to have it disappear and we are submerged into darkness. The sound stops and soft glowing lights appear on the walls.

"Oh my god. The gamemakers have enclosed us in this maze. How will we know who died?" I ask. The three of us look around for a while before Trent points at a shiny thing on the wall.

"A television, that's how we'll know. I bet there is one in every hall way." Trent says. I grip my swords in my hands and sigh.

"We have to assume they're dead. We won't know until tonight." I say softly.

"Ha! You got to be kidding me Lake! Our friends are over there! What if they are alive? They could be injured!" Ronan yells at me. I frown at him.

"I know Ronan! Do you want to take the chance that we may be caught in an explosion like the one we just saw? No! We have to get back to camp! Come on!" I yell as I set off down the halls.

After hours of walking, we arrive at the Cornucopia exhausted from no sleep. Lyra from Eight yells at our arrival. Igris, Talise and Seathe come running from the tents and are shocked to see just the three of us.

"Are they dead? We only heard one Cannon." Talise says to Ronan.

"We don't know. There was an explosion. They could be alive, but I just don't know Talise." He whispers.

Seathe walks over to me and I open my arms for her, she falls into my arms and I hug her.

"Do you think they are dead?" She asks. I can only nod, I let them go back, I maybe have let them die. I guess we won't know until tonight.

Capitol Questions of the Day!
