Heyy, here it is, the night before the games, this you can see the weeknesses in some of the characters and it's in
chronological order, so the first pov is after the interviews, 2nd is as they go to sleep, 3rd is during the night and 4th is in the morning :') I have actually wrote quite abit of the next chapter already, :( It's sad, I don't know when it will be up though? Anyway here it is...
Cynara Thistle (District 8)
I collapsed onto the sofa, they loved me, I'm pretty sure of it. Octa came in and gave me a dirty look before kicking her shoes off.
"Hey, what have I done now?" I asked her, she rolled her eyes at me and sat on a chair far away from me.
"You looked really nice today," I told her. She didn't acknowledge my compliment. Now I know that I've been a jerk in the past but seeing as we aren't likely to speak again after tonight we may as well try to get along.
"Get changed you two; we need to get some food down you before tomorrow!" Angus, our escort, told us. I looked back at Octa but she was already on her way to her room.
"Still no chance of an alliance?" My mentor asked me, I shook my head in reply.
When I was in my room, the butterflies in my stomach became even more obvious, they were more like bats trying to eat me. I fell to my knees and let out cry, my hands were shaking more than ever.
There are twenty four of us; only one of us can come out. I have to stay optimistic; the ones who doubt themselves never win. I collected myself together before pulling off my shirt and changing it for a simple black top. I couldn't be bothered changing my pants.
I made my way to the dining room head high, I couldn't let them see that I had a weak moment.
Maxi Jacklebee (District 11)
Jace lead me to my room, I was so nervous for tomorrow, would I make it out alive? Would tonight be the last time I slept?
"Thanks," I whispered and he reached down and hugged me, Jace was so kind and caring.
"Hey, if we see each other during the games, we can make an alliance if you want," he said.
I nod, we hadn't spoken alliances, our mentor had told us that alliances weren't worth it but if I didn't win, I wanted Jace to win. Isn't that the same for all district partners though? It means more food for their families that year.
"Don't wait around for me though; just get out of there got it?" I nod showing that I understand. "Good luck Maxi," he smiled before walking to his room.
"You too," Ok, we are in an alliance but only if we run into each other? That's ok with me I guess.
I got changed into my pyjamas and slid under my duvet. I thought that I would struggle to sleep but I fell asleep without trying.
I dreamt, but this was a dream that made you want to stay awake.
I was sprinting through the forest, branches hit me in the face but I didn't care. I was far too concerned about what was chasing me.
I turned around to see them, skin as black as ink, eight enormous legs and an unthinkable amount off eyes looking at me. They had razor sharp teeth which would definitely kill anyone in seconds.
I heard a scream, it wasn't my own. Another tribute was close by. Then I saw her, the girl from district 1, she was running away from another spider mutt. Then, the mutt sank its teeth into the girl; her cannon went off just before I felt teeth sinking into my back.
I jolt up, I'm shaking. I've never liked spiders.
Griffin Ivory (District 6)
"Hi, Can't sleep?" I heard someone say from behind. I turned to see Floss approaching me; I was sat on the windowsill looking out at the capitol. I shake my head.
Floss grabbed a wooden chair which was against the wall and pulled it over.
"You scared about tomorrow?" I nod.
"Do you think that there's a way out of the arena?" I asked her.
She thought about this for a moment, probably wondering whether I was being serious. She laughed "yeah, by winning or by dying." I raised my eyebrows at her, I was being serious.
"You don't seriously think you're going to find an escape, do you?"
I shrugged my shoulders, there's always a way out of everything. If you find it then you're free. There has to be a way out, doesn't there?
Floss came and knelt beside me, her hands hold onto my arm. "Griffin, there isn't a way out of the arena. The capitol ensures that, to escape you either have to die or win." I push her hands off my arm, I didn't care about what she was saying to me. I had to find a way home. I couldn't die and I knew that I couldn't win.
A tear ran down my face, I didn't want to die; I wanted to go home to my family.
Floss wrapped her arms around me and allowed me to cry. "Promise me that you'll stop thinking about it, ok?" I nod and pull myself together.
I looked up at the clock and saw that it was 3 am. I had better get some sleep before tomorrow; otherwise I wouldn't have a chance of surviving.
"I'm going to get some sleep now," I tell Floss, she nodded.
"Good night, I'll see you tomorrow," I smiled.
"See you tomorrow,"
Adena Heliconia (District 12)
I'm woken up by a knock at the door; it was Lilith, our escort. It can't be time already, can it?
"Wake up! Get dressed, today's the day!" I rolled over and sighed, 'great'.
I get changed into the black pants and black strappy top which had been left at the end of my bed. Hopefully I will be given a coat underneath the arena, otherwise I'll surely freeze.
I made my way to where the helicopter would take us to the arena alongside my mentor Mortiz. Seeing the helicopter made this all seem too real, I took a step back.
"Are you ok Adena?" Mortiz asked me, I shook my head. Mortiz gives me a pat on the back. The ladder falls and I'm forced to climb it.
The helicopter ride was long; I made sure I ate as much as I could. I had to build up my strength for today.
When we land, Loritia and I walk to our area under the arena. I can't help but spend most of my time looking at the ceiling. Just the thought that above me was the arena, the place where twenty three tributes would die, the thought was chilling.
"Here's your fleece" Loritia handed it to me; It was a dark brown colour and had a large collar that reached up my neck. I put the fleece on, it was extremely comfy. "Ok, you're pants have buttons where you can unclip them to make shorts if it gets hot."
Loritia pulled me into a hug. My thoughts were all over the place, would I see the sun set tonight? Would I be dead in the next hour?
I was told to get ready; I took one last drink of some water and took my place in the chute to the arena. The door closed on me and I could feel my heart pumping faster. Before I knew it I was being lifted into the arena.
Ok, so the alliances are pretty much the same, Maxi's and Jace's is just an 'if' alliance. Not really one. Anyway, next chapter the games, begin! Woop woop!
Anddd, next chapter its the games :D ooohh, who will not see another day? Who will survive? oohhh xD Anyway Please review! xxx
