Now we're going to have some actual fighting! I hope you enjoy.

Oh and read the stories written by tessa0710 she's a really talented writer and her stories are great fun to read! :)

Iris Hound D2

I've already said goodbye to my stylist, I don't think I even knew her name. She didn't really talk much. Oh well.

I'm in my tube to go up to he arena where I will meet and kill 23 others and be crowned the victor.

I start to rise and a huge smile makes it's way across my face so intimidate the others.

But I don't rise into a huge arena.

I rise into long glass corridor. To my left is Connectus, that District 3 bitch. However we're split apart by a huge sheet or glass.

This corridor is about 3 metres wide and at the end I see someone else, about 100m away on another pedestal. I squint and see that it's Telsa Kiki from 5. That crazy psycho girl.

This happens 3 corridors to my right too with Yoko and that black D11 boy in another corridor.

I look around and count that there are 8 corridors and 2 tributes in each one at each end.

Claudius' voice enters the area, "Now tributes, we have a big twist and the tributes with the lowest 8 scores have been given a veto to the next round. You remaining 16 will fight it out in 8 head to heads for the remaining 8 places in the next round. It will be to the death if you haven't already realised. The first to go will be Leo and Lucy, then Krystal and Electron and so on until we get to the other end. Once a tribute has died, a gong will sound and the next 2 tributes along will be released from their pedestals. If you step off your pedestal early, you will be blown to smithereens and your opponent will take the place in the next round. Good Luck... oh wait almost forgot."

A stake rises from the ground in the centre of every corridor, what I'm guessing to be the 50m spot. On the stake is a knife.

"We have provided 1 knife per pair of tributes, good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour."

Right so in 20 seconds Leo and Lucy will be let go. I'm secretly rooting for Lucy so to get Leo out of the way. Even though she got a 10 in training, 2 points higher than Leo, he's bigger and stronger and could easily strangle her. However she is as fast as lightening and will get the knife first for sure.

The gong sounds and they are let go. They both run full pelt at the knife. Lucy gets there a fraction of a second quicker and picks up the knife. She flips it in her hand like this is a game. She looks relaxed. She suddenly throws the knife and it lands right between his eyes and he falls to the floor. The cannon sounds and Krystal against Electron starts.

It's even more short-lived than the first one and within about 10 seconds Electron is on the floor, dead in a pool of his own blood after having his abdomen ripped open for the whole country to see.

Now it's Yoko's turn.

While he's running I see that Lucy and Krystal aren't being allowed to leave and that they have to watch the remaining fights.

Yoko gets there first but drops the knife by accident. Tymon charges into him and knocks him to the ground taking the wind out of him. They scramble around for a couple of minutes, all hurting each other. They must have have broken a couple or ribs each by the time Yoko grabs the knife and impales Tymon's side making him fall to the floor screaming.

Yoko then, knowing he needs to put on a good show, jumps on him a sits on his front. He takes out the knife from Tymon's side and slices off his fingers one by one. His screams are piercing and horrible. He then slices off each of his toes and finishes it off by chopping off his nose.

Yoko gets bored and walks away to sleep in the corner.

About 3 minutes later Tymon dies from loss of blood.

Now it's me.

The cannon goes off and before it's even over firing I'm off the pedestal running. I see Telsa running too. I get there first and throw the knife straight at her. It hits her groin and he stops screaming in pain. She's hurt but has also got the knife. I gulp and mentally punch myself for my stupidity.

It now turns into a throwing way. She throws it at me, I throw it back and it goes on forever.

After about 15 throws each way her throw slices a huge gash in my arm making the blood flow heavily. Thank god it' my right arm and not my throwing arm.

I take out the knife and throw it at Tesla. It hits he neck and send blood gushing down her front.

She tries to throw again but only manages a couple of metres. I run the the knife, pick it up while at full speed and as I run past her I slice her face and she falls to the ground. The cannon goes off and I've won.

I go over to Yoko and hi-five him through the glass.

I look over at my arm and the flow has become like a waterfall. To my right, where Tesla came off her pedestal, a door opened that I didn't know was there and medics run to me. They put some cotton wool that smells quite nice over my nose and I fall to sleep.

Connectus Jones D3

I see Iris charge past Telsa opening a huge gash in her face. A few weeks ago, before I was reaped, I would probably have been sick at the site but now it's all the same, I don't really care anymore.

The cannon goes off and infront of me I see an enormous explosion. The smoke goes away and I see the remains of a body that has just been blown up. The glass surrounding it has been splattered with blood. I think Blake went off too early and got killed. Great! I jump into the air in triumph. Except no cannon went off and the tributes to my left aren't going yet. It's all a bit confusing really.

I jog up to the stake and take the knife out of it with a big pull. I jog a bit further and am repulsed by the sight.

Blake is still alive but is burned hugely and I think he's trying to tell me to end his life.

I'm about 5m away and I go a bit closer.

I get about half a metre away and reach my arms out. I slit his throat with one swift movement.

The cannon goes off and I puke all over my legs.

Ugh, that was the most disgusting thing ever. When I finish puking out my breakfast and last night's dinner I look to my left. Henry Tring from 4 has already won and so has Nicola Velvet, the 13 year old from 8 against the girl from 10.

There's one left and it'll surely be the most bloody yet.

Danny Draddock D9

It's time now. Apart from Melissa and I there are 7 alive and 7 dead. Nicola is just doing the finishing touches to Emma's distorted body when the cannon goes off.

I sprint and sprint and sprint and get there a couple of seconds before Melissa. I take the knife out of the stake and arm myself.

"Want to give your life for your loved one?" She sniggers.

"I could say the same about you."

"I'm breaking up with you by the way," she informs me as if I didn't already know.

She runs at me and throws her whole body at me in a tackle. I fall to the floor and drop the knife. However when she ran at me I managed to take a slice at her chest and there's a big cut there, oozing red hot blood out over her breasts.

She screams at me and bites my neck with her teeth. I feel myself bleed and punch her in the nose. This sends her into a frenzy and she starts pulling my hair and biting me and scratching me. I bring my leg up and kick her in the face with my boot. This sends her tumbling back and onto the floor. I get the knife but just as I lean down to get it she lunges at me again. But this time I'm ready and turn around just in time. I still go onto the floor but this time I'm on my front.

I elbow her in the face and with my other hand grab in and throw it to the ground. She curses and screams at me.

Suddenly she gets herself on top of me again. This time in a better position and lurches her hand around my neck. She's trying to strangle me.

I try to breathe in but find my breath is blocked by her arms, suffocating my body's air supply. I see my hands go white and my body is ringing for air.

The knife is to my left and I pick it up.

I stab in into her right arm and she lets go.

I gasp for air and get back to my feet. She screams and throws herself at me agains but this time with a knife. I dodge and she falls the the floor on her front.

I then jump with my feet down onto her back with all my weight.

I hear a crunch as mu feet hit the arch of her back and she lets out a weak groan. I turn her over and she's paralysed or something. I must have broken he back. I take the knife out of her hand and slit her throat, staring into those terrified eyes until they close and she falls into the never ending sleep along with the other 560 children.

"Congratulations to the remaining 8! You have made it to the final round of the 100th Hunger Games. We will now let you rest and it will begin in 4 days."

I've done it. One step closer to home.

Katniss Everdeen D12

I did not like that at all. The Capitol citizens loved the whole 2 hour show where 8 children died bloody deaths. It's the not the other children's faults though, they were just protecting themselves.

Blake is dead too and Thomas and I are left with Lea who will almost definitely die in the initial bloodbath, probably to that cocky Iris from 2.

The final battle was the worst between the 2 from 9. Was it only yesterday when they confessed their love for each other? It feels like years ago. He killed her by paralysing her then slitting her throat which sprayed blood all over the surrounding area.

There's 16 left and I have 1 tribute. 16 left out of 576.
