Hey, sorry for the wait...I could never get this right :/ but I think I'm happy with it now, not much happens in this chapter...well I say not much but there is a bit ... I didn't have a clue about what to call this chapter so I ended up thinking that this chapter is about being safe, finding places that are safe and so I called it Safe and then I thought of the song safe and sound anw whola xD haha...anyway, review and everything also, I don't know how great the grammer and stuff is in places. It shouldn't be too bad but if you spot something please let me know so I can change it...thanks :)

Sean Odair (District 4, Career Alliance)

It wasn't good, on one side of me I had Silver crying in pain and on the other side Leonis complaining that we only killed eight tributes, he had wanted us to kill at least half of the tributes. I shook my head at Leonis, it wasn't exactly our fault. We didn't think that we would start off in a maze.

"Take your fleece off," I turned around and told Silver. She did as I said and carefully pulled the fleece over her head. I knew that it would be bad, but not like this. The last tribute that we killed put up a fight, because of him I let Floss get away. It took Silver, Jet and I to take him down. I was the one who finally killed him.

He could have killed Silver, and he still could. He had stabbed her shoulder and it looked deep. I hope she had some sponsors.

"Someone pass me the water and the backpack," I shouted. We had found a backpack filled entirely with medicine. That was how the backpacks worked this year; some backpacks were filled with food, some with medicine and others with survival equipment.

Finley threw me the backpack and then a bottle of water. I poured the water over Silver's shoulder, to wash away the blood which surrounded the wound. I wasn't a master at this sort of thing. I found a tube which appeared to be for wounds to help stop infection, I applied it and then wrapped her shoulder in a bandage.

"Thanks," she whispered. I could tell that she was still in a lot of pain and I didn't know whether this would help at all but at least I tried, that's all that I could do.

"We can't stay down here," Finley said. She had a point, it wasn't safe down here, if the exits closed for whatever reason; we would be trapped.

We all agreed to move, we picked up as many of the supplies as we could and began walking to find somewhere safer, somewhere near water, where we could still keep a look out for the other tributes.

Laurel Keene (District 9)

I wondered where Nat was; I had been walking all day and could not find him, was he dead? He had best not be dead. A pain in my stomach forced me to stop walking, I needed to eat. I opened the backpack that I picked up; it was a food backpack so it was full with fruit, bread and other kinds of food. I picked out an apple and began to eat it. I would be so cold tonight; hopefully the game makers wouldn't change the temperature drastically.

The anthem played and the sky lit up. Now I would finally find out who had died today. The first face in the sky was the boy from district 1; I think his name was Wade. He seemed like a nice boy but I never actually spoke to him, he did just get a 3 in training so I wasn't that surprised. The next face was Dirk, the twelve year old from district 5, again no surprises there. Then it was the boy from district 7, I couldn't remember much about him but I did remember that he was quite a strong tribute. Next was the girl from district 8. Then, to my horror, there was Nat, his face smiling down at me, he always smiled. A tear slowly ran down my face. That was it then, I was in these games alone. The next to appear was the boy from district 10. The next to appear in the sky was Maxi, the little girl from district 11 and finally the boy from the same district. He too was a strong tribute; I bet he went down with a fight.

I hugged my knees tightly together. Who had killed Nat? Did he die painfully? I wasn't a killer but I wouldn't let Nat's killer win, whoever it was.

I heard something land beside me; I looked over to see a small parachute. I had sponsors already? I didn't think I had any sponsors at all, especially after all of the crying I had been doing. I opened it and inside was a small bar of, wait, was that chocolate? I smiled slightly; I hadn't had chocolate in years. It's a luxury in district 9. I guess my mentor wanted me to cheer up for the cameras.

I heard a roar of laughter come from behind me and I knew that it could only be the careers. I stood up and grabbed my belongings before running up the hill as fast as I could. The laughter stopped, I hopped that they hadn't seen me. Then an arrow landed next to me, this was followed by a cry of pain, maybe the person who shot it was injured.

I heard footsteps running after me, up the hill, so I tried to climb a nearby tree. I can climb trees but I've never been the best at it. Clearly I wasn't fast enough as I could hear the careers at the bottom of the tree before I was even half way up. I let out a cry and before I knew it, something sharp pierced the skin on my back. 'No,' I thought. I fell from the tree and landed heavy on the floor. The fall had forced the arrow to go through my body and I could now see the arrow head underneath my ribcage, clearly the arrows were strong and wouldn't snap. My tears were uncontrollable now; I was in so much pain. I tried to stand but was forced down by the boot of one of the careers.

A tribute stood above me; it was the girl from district 4. Her eyes were full of hate.

"Please don't," I managed to say, but, I realised, if she did kill me, she would be doing me a favour. If they left me I would die slowly. The girl bent down, I could see a knife in her hand. She placed it on my heart, a small cut opened as she kept it there. 'This is it' I thought, I closed my eyes, bit my lip and felt her dig the knife into my heart.

Floss (District 6/Capitol Volunteer)

He's dead, Wade is dead. I never thought that I'd be so affected by the death of another tribute but, there was something about Wade. He was different, he was kind, and he was-. A tear trickled down my face. I should have never volunteered. This place is no place for a girl from the Capitol. No, I did the right thing; Dolly is alive because of me. She even thanked me. Yes, I definitely did the right thing. My hand touched the cut at the top of my leg; I hadn't felt pain like this before.

A cannon had sounded not too long ago, another tribute had died. I hoped that it wasn't Griffin or Saffra.

"Floss?" I heard someone call my name. I scurried back and hid behind a bush. I hadn't travelled far; I couldn't bring myself to walk.

"Floss?" I heard it again, it was coming closer. Then I saw them, Griffin and Saffra walking towards me, they had found me. I didn't think that they would bother coming to find me.

"Here," I called. They came running over and crouched beside me. Saffra wrapped her arms around my neck.

"You're so near the maze! This is dangerous, we should go," Griffin panted, I shook my head. I had seen the careers moving camp a few hours ago, plus, I couldn't move.

"They're not in the maze." Griffin gave me a confused look before beginning to climb a tree. Once up there he looked all around the arena, for any sign of the careers.

"They're over near the lake, it's quite far away." He must have had good eye sight if he could see spot them. He jumped down and smiled.

I thought about suggesting going to the maze but there must have been a reason why the careers left the maze, most years the career pack stayed at the cornucopia.

"We should go in the maze. Maybe they left some supplies. Plus we can hide; the other tributes probably think that the careers are in there." At first I'm scared that I said this, but it wasn't me who had Griffins eyes on them, it was Saffra.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Griffin asked. He must have had the same idea as me. They left for a reason and whatever that reason might be we should trust their instincts.

"Have any better ideas?" She said; motioning towards my leg. Without saying a word, Griffin shrugged and began helping me up. My leg hurt even more when I put pressure on it, so much so that I let out a scream. Griffin looked around worried that someone had heard me. With their arms wrapped around me, they helped me walk to the maze.

Griffin climbed down the ladder first and then they began to help me down. Nothing had changed down here. The bodies had been moved, but there was still that artificial light shining in.

Jai Cobat (District 12)

Both District 12 tributes were alive, that's one thing to be happy about. I walked behind Adena shining the torch in all directions ready for any form of mutt or tribute to jump out at us, but this cave was empty. It was also never ending; we must have walked for at least thirty minutes and were yet to find the back of the cave.

"Maybe we should go back," I suggested. I began to turn around but Adena grabbed hold of me.

"No, this is probably the safest place we could be." I decided to stick with her, trust her instincts, I mean, we hadn't walked into any tributes so far, so she must been doing something right. I dropped down the single backpack that we had between us. It was filled with survival stuff, torches, a box of matches, a blanket, that sort of things. I was getting extremely tiered. It must have been past midnight and we had been walking all day. She sat down, her back against the wall.

"Tomorrow, we carry on walking through this cave. Maybe there is something useful back there." I nodded and sat down opposite her. The cave was definitely interesting; carvings decorated the walls around us. Across from where I sat was one of a bat. Next to that was a dolphin. They were beautiful, but I couldn't understand why the game makers had put them there. They were just drawings.
Adena began pulling the blanket out of the backpack and she placed it over her. I couldn't believe that I survived the bloodbath, so many strong tributes had died, many stronger than I. I moved over to sit next to Adena and she placed the blanket over the two of us.

"You go to sleep, I'll take the first watch," I told her. She nodded and began to close her eyes; I would wake her in a few hours. Until then, I could spend my time admiring the beautiful drawings. It was peaceful in cave. At least that's what I thought.

Ok, First of all, I apologise for the deaths in the bloodbath... Twig- loved him so, so much! Nat! Omg xD loved him too! and Jace! he was really strong but hey went out with a fight! Also I apologise for Laurel! I really really do! The thing is... I didn't plan on killing her yet, I got lost in imagination Dx Awwww! But hey, tributes die; it is the hunger games.

Ok, a few people suggested confirming the deaths, in the blood bath, I took it one step further and explained very briefly, how, when and who by...

Deaths in bloodbath (In order) -

Wade (District 1) was killed by Gideon (District 7) literally a few minutes before his own death after Gideon had grabbed an axe, he ran into Wade pretty much straight away and then killed him.

Gideon (District 7) after killing Wade, he ran back around, before seeing Leonis (District 2), he didn't know Yvette was there, he decided to go for him whilst he wasn't looking but Yvette was there and saw him coming, she warned Leonis. He turned around and killed him.

Twig (District 10) was shot in the head with Silver's (District 1) arrow, when trying to escape the maze.

Octa (District 8) was killed by Leonis (District 2) when she was running for the way out of the maze, Leonis caught up with her, pulled her back and cut her throat.

Dirk (District 5) was killed by Sean (District 4) Dirk was hid in his little room still, he thought that he could hide there and not be found. But Sean went around the maze opening all of the rooms and found Dirk hiding in there. He killed him with his knife.

Maxi (District 11) was killed by Leonis (District 2) when he climbed out of the maze and saw her running away.

Nat (District 9) was killed by Jet (District 3) Jet was out above the maze and he had to kill someone to show to the careers that they shouldn't just kill himself and Yvette. It was unlucky Nat who ran past him; Jet just grabbed hold of him and killed him with a sword.

Jace (District 11) He was one of the final ones to make it out of the Maze, the careers had discovered how the maze worked and guarded the exits. He went to the one Silver was guarding, Silver tried to kill him but they fought for a long time, Jace wouldn't go down without a fight. Silver called for help, Jet and Finley both came and began dragging him off her, Jace tried to kill Silver but Jet forced his aim away and instead of stabbing her in her heart, he stabbed her shoulder. After that Sean (District 4) managed to pull him away and kill him.

Also update on the alliances…

Silver (District 1), Leonis (District 2), Jet and Yvette (District 3), Finley and Sean (District 4)

Floss and Griffin (District 6) and Saffra (District 2)

Adena and Jai (District 12)

People on their own:

Tansy (District 10), Trinnith (District 5), and Cynara (District 8), Terra (District 7)

Wow that list has decreased :(
