13 / Riva Billion / District 6 Girl
"I trust you can win. Just believe in yourself. Please?" My stylist has been so kind to me these past few days. His name is Erin and even though my prep team tried to force me and Joey into a train costume, it was Erin who stopped them and dressed us as tigers. I know it sounds really bad, but the tiger costumes were actually really great and way better than the train costumes. He had a reason for choosing tigers too.
"Tiger-eyes. Stop daydreaming. We only have 30 seconds to get you in the tube!" He dressed me and Joey as tigers because our eyes remind him of a tigers.
I snap out of it and reply, "I'll try! For you. For Gab. For everyone. I won't give up."
"20.. 19... 18.. 17.. ZzZZzZZ.. 5.. 4.."
"Get in! Quick!"
"What happened?" He doesn't reply and pushes me inside the tube and it closes on me. I don't need an answer anyway.. They sped the time so we could hurry up.
For a moment I can't hear anything, and then I feel myself being pulled up in the tube to the arena. A desert. I look around to get a view of my surroundings.
All 26 of us are surrounding the Cornucopia, a sphere-shaped statue piercing the clouds. It has spikes all over, making it look like a mine. There are supplies all over it, some higher than others, but there is nothing near my feet. Everything is at the Cornucopia. I start dripping sweat. I look to the left and see nothing but desert. I look behind and far in the distance I see some straw-shaped plants. Probably a grain field. In front I can see a forest far off in the distance. And when I look to the right I can see the ocean, which looks quite close compared to everything else.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. The countdown is starting. I make a decision to run to the Cornucopia. My weapon is in sight. A bow and arrows.
14 / Ginger Griffiths / District 5 Girl
The cannon sounds and I am the only one running towards the empty part of the desert. Maybe because it's a bad idea and I'll probably die of dehydration soon? But no, I see an oasis in the distance.
My speed builds and I bolt towards the oasis. After a few minutes, I'm already out of steam and the oasis disappears. Shit.
I look around and when I look closely at one spot, I see a large forest with tall trees. I decide to go there because... where else can I go? o.O
13 / Rees Jules / District 13 Boy
A piercing bang starts the Games and I run straight toward the Cornucopia. I see 3 people on either side of me who can clearly run faster than me and after a few thrilling seconds, I slam myself into the side of the sphere. I grab a backpack and next to it is a taser gun. Lucky me. I pick it up and someone runs straight for me, a muscly guy from District 11. Steve Kansas. I handle the taser and as he is about to crush me with his power, the taser zaps his skin and he falls to the ground, twitching. I may not have made a kill, but at least I'm still alive!
I see two people fighting on my right. As I look to see who it is, Brad Velvet from District 10 is stabbed in the stomach, and he plummets to the ground. I look to see the killer, and it is Jax Nexas of District 1. He cackles, and behind him I see Charlotte Amberwill, Brad's district partner, come running at Jax with a spiked mace. I feel a slice in my torso and bloo-
16 / Keam Paterson / District 8 Boy
"Keam. One down!" I look to Ellie and I see Rees Jules' corpse lying at her feet. "Okay. Grab as much as you can and let's get out of here." I quickly make a dodge to the right as a throwing knife hurls past me, slamming the cornucopia.
I turn around and knock Campbell Terrier to the floor. "That's a nice set of knives there. Mind if I borrow some?" I pierce her heart with my sword and her smoky black eyes flutter to a close. I hear an ear-rattling squeal and see Ellie backing away on the ground as the District 2 girl stands over her with a spear.
I react quickly and throw one of Campbells' knives at the girls face. Her head lunges forward and the knife misses greatly. She turns to me and throws a knife back in revenge. I feel it settle into my forehead. I smile because the last thing I can hear is Ellie calling my name.
16 / Matt Marley / District 12 Boy
I am still on my podium as I watch people heading in different directions, most at the Cornucopia. The district 7 girl runs in the forests direction with an axe and some type of gun, following the tributes from District 3, who have made an alliance. The district 6 girl and district 13 girl are headed in the oceans direction, but are distanced from each other, and the district 7 boy is heading towards the wheat fields. The rest are fighting at the Cornucopia.
I decide to join the action and run towards the Cornucopia. I hear a thud behind me and see Zac Austin from District 5 collapsed on the podium I was on. His sword falls to my feet and I pick it up.
"You tried to kill me, didn't you?" I shiver in fear that I will have to kill him.
"I did. That's what you do in the arena. Kill people. Go on." I clumsily get a grip on the sword and whack around on the floor trying to attack him, but I fail miserably.
"How pathetic." He gets out a knife and hurls it at my chest but I miraculously block it with the sword. "Cool. I'm alive!"
I try one more time to kill Zac and slash his skull lightly. He flinches and stands up. "That's enough mucking about". He knocks me to the floor, pulling the sword away and runs in the forests direction.
I turn back to the Cornucopia and I see the District 11 girls' corpse on the ground just a few feet in front of me.
I look to the right and see Emily running in my direction. "Matt, are you alright? I've got some supplies."
"Let's head for the forest."
We make a dash in the forests direction but she makes a sudden stop. "Matt..." I look into her eyes as they form with tears and latched in her back is a throwing axe. I look behind her and see Sonya Cerulean from District 4, cackling and running for another victim. "Emily. Emily. EMILY! NO, PLEASE! EMILY!" I cry out in pain as she plummets to the ground.
15 / Ashlie Anders / District 2 Girl
Before I can spear the district 8 girl, I am pushed to the side by the district 11 boy, Steve Kansas.
"You killed Rees, didn't you?" He looks to Ellie and she nods, her face covered in tears.
"Thank you. You saved my life. He was going to zap me to death. And you..." He looks to me and pulls out a sword. "are going to die."
He stands over me, and then falls, crushing me with his weight. I feel blood gathering around my body and I struggle to push his body to the side. "Curtis.." I stand up and hug my district partner.
I look to the right to find the district 8 girl is gone and is running in the forests direction.
"Come on. There's still a couple more rodents we need to get rid of."
15 / Zac Austin / District 5 Boy
I finally reach the woods, after a long and agonizing journey. I know I'm going to die from the cut in my head. I'm fading... slowly... painfully...
I want to end my pain now. I want to go home. To mom. To dad. To Marnie. I have a knife. I need to do this. Just one stab in the heart... and this will all be over.
Come on, Zac. You can do it. Stab yourself. Please. Just get it over with. Fuck. I can't do it. Oh my god, Zac. Just stab yourself already. Okay.
"FUCK YOU, CAPITOL!", I pierce my heart with the knife. I've done it. I'm gone. YAY...
