MATT MARLEY ( DISTRICT 12 ( POV
I awaken to a girl screaming.
Knowing my trapped must've worked on a human, I make my way through the small forest trees to the girl tied inside the net I got from the Cornucopia.
"Please. Please don't kill me. I-I"
"Shh! Someone will hear."
"Are you- Wait! I'll tell you something about the arena if you let me live!"
"...Go on."
"It's the ocean. Have you seen it? The water's rising. This arena is going to flood. If you don't believe me, I'll show you. Please... Please let me go!"
I take in this information and give a slight nod, and I start to untangle the net from her struggling body.
"Th-thank you." And Ellie Jackson gives me a warm hug of gratitude.
I gently tug her off and blurt out, "Well... what are you waiting for? Are you gonna show me?"
CARROLL KING ( DISTRICT 4 ( POV
"So... is it time we break the alliance?" I glare over at Jarrod who has just spoken these last words.
"Are you kidding me! No way! There's still 9 little scumbags running around the arena! Don't leave yet!" My glare flings in Ashlie's direction.
Hearing this, I suggest, "Jarrod. Feel free to go if you want. Ash, I'll stay with you if you like."
"Alright. Nice knowing you. Good luck." Then Jarrod Limestone has fled into the wilderness of the forest with a spear in hand, his bright blue backpack on his back, eager to win.
Suddenly I hear an angered moan come from the girl I'm still allied with. "Carroll! We should've killed him. He'd be one less obstacle to the win."
"No.. He's kept us alive for days. Just let him go."
She gives another small moan of decline, but agrees shortly after.
RIVA BILLION ( DISTRICT 6 ( POV
Watching Ben from the protection of the wheat fields, the meadow is just another bloodbath as he practises his kills on the mutts inhabiting the area of land.
After a while, he chases a rabbit in my direction and when I finally get the sense to move he has already spotted me.
I make a howling scream in desperation and beg for freedom but he simply says, "Finally, someone to use my skills on. Sorry... Riva, was it?"
While he is saying this short speech, I dash away and ready my bow and arrows. I release an arrow straight in his direction but he makes a quick dodge, and as I am about to release another, a black figure leaps onto my face and I plummet to the ground while the poison seeps into my blood for the second time.
A smile reaches my lips as I think of he ghastly face of the tarantula that has saved my life once before. Again, I pass into darkness.
RENEE LOOKLUCK ( DISTRICT 7 ( POV
My growling stomachs song is interrupted when Claudius Templesmith's voice booms through the now misty and dark arena.
"Yes, now is the time for the feast. Tomorrow. When the sun touches the sky is when those backpacks of items you desperately need will be surrounding the cornucopia. Some of you may be declining my invitation now but for some, this will be your last chance. For others, this will be your last chance to make as many kills as you can before it gets hard. See you then. Oh, and we can all hear your rumbling stomachs. It's a feast, remember?"
Hearing this forces me into a hunger fit of dreading hunger and a desperation to kill. Now is my time to earn some sponsors.
I doze into the swirly patterns of the cave walls as I fall asleep.
