Hi! I don't have much to say, I'll say it all later :) Remember to review! 45 reviews overall would be nice xD thanks xx
Adena Heliconia (District 12)
I heard something; I wasn't quite sure what it was until it appeared, a black object flying towards me. I let out a scream but it turned to laughter when a bat flew past me. Just a bat, I told myself, just a bat.
I heard it again. The squeaking of a bat, but it was much louder as if there were more than one bat. Then they came, only they weren't like the first bat, these had bright red eyes and large razor sharp teeth. I was only able to stand up and run when the teeth of one of the bats bit into my leg. I cried in pain and was about to fall over when Jai's arms pulled me back up. We continued to run away from the bats. They had razor sharp wings as well as teeth that broke the skin on our faces. We could see the exit when a wall of fire came out of nowhere in front of us. Some of the bats flew straight into it and I watched as they turned into dust.
"We have to go this way," Jai said, I nodded in agreement. We turned and ran back the way we came, more bats followed us. We reached the spot we were at earlier sooner than we expected. We carried on running further into the cave. My foot slipped on a rock and I ended up sliding down a hole into some water.
"Adena?" I heard Jai call as I pulled myself to the side.
"Down here." I called back.
"Alright, I'm coming down."
Next thing I knew Jai splashed into the water behind me. He pulled himself to the side quickly and we both pushed ourselves out. Only now does the pain all around my body fully set in. I collapsed to the floor clutching my leg. They were mutts; there was no doubt about it.
Jai came and squatted next to me, "Are you alright?" he asked. I breathed tightly through my teeth; the pain was excruciating but I didn't want him to worry. He told me to put my leg out and I did, only then did I see his arms; they were a mess, covered with blood and numerous scratches. He unzipped my trousers around my left leg; where the bite was and pulled off the bottom of them; making them into shorts.
The bite was worse than I thought, it wasn't deep but I had dark purple lines around the bite. Poison I thought. Jai looked up into my eyes; his eyes were full of fear. We both knew it, without the words passing our lips, that I would be dead in a few days without treatment.
Yvette Volt (District 3)
"So, you killed Nat," Silver motioned towards Jet, "who did you kill?" She said as she turned to me. I looked over at Jet for help but he didn't say anything, I suppose he didn't really know what to say.
"No one," my voice was quiet and cautious. Silver half sniggered.
"So why is she still alive?" Her question was now directed to Leonis who earlier was complaining that we hadn't killed enough tributes today. Leonis smiled and walked over to me.
"She practically saved my life today," he patted me on the shoulder. I looked up at him and he mouthed the words, 'Thank you', down at me. I began to wonder if maybe saving his life was in fact a good idea. At first I regretted it but now, saving his life may have saved mine.
Silver is quick, and I see from the corner of my eye that she grabs for her bow and fits an arrow into it. Pausing for a moment when the pain in her shoulder returns, my eyes widen. Was she going to kill me? Perhaps I should have killed someone today.
Then out of nowhere a blade was pointing towards her neck. I looked up to see Leonis.
"Put that down," he said sternly. Silver did as he said and placed the bow on the ground. Another sword then appeared, Sean's. He knocked Leonis' sword out of the way and then pushed him up against the wall. I couldn't tell what he was saying to him; he was speaking too quietly. I secretly hoped that they would end up killing each other and that would mean two of the strongest tributes dead. But that wouldn't happen. Sean released Leonis and then walked over to sit next to Silver. Something told me that there was more than just an alliance between the two of them; otherwise would he really have fought Leonis?
I felt an arm come around me and I realised that it was Jet. I leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. I hadn't yet worked out what would happen if we both came to the final two, I dreaded thinking about it.
Finley leant over and offered us both a cracker, we accepted and I began crunching on mine. I wondered how many tributes would go hungry tonight. Being in the careers meant food, and plenty of it.
Cynara Thistle (District 8)
My eyes flickered open as morning came. The pain in my stomach was even worse this morning. There had to be other sources of food around the arena, a berry bush or maybe an apple tree. I didn't get a backpack at the bloodbath. I simply ran not wishing to look anywhere but in front of me.
A new day, I thought, I had to forget what happened to Octa. Octa's luck ran out yesterday when she realised she had me as district partner. If she had any other district partner then maybe they would have tried to save her but not me, just showed what a true coward I was.
There was a cannon last night that meant I'm now in the final fifteen. Still bloodbath territory when it comes to some games. In previous games the bloodbath killed as many as sixteen meaning they were already in the final eight by the second day.
I wondered if I had any sponsors. I must have had at least one. Someone somewhere must have liked me or thought that I could win. I sighed and stood up. With nothing to carry I continued to walk down the path. There were a lot of paths around here; they were made out of some sort of yellow stone.
I decided that heading down the hill would be better, water runs down hill right? Food grows best with water so I decided that this was the best idea.
I kept checking the sky for any sign of sponsors. My mentor must have known that I needed food right now. Maybe this was revenge for not trying to help Octa. Let's face it; I couldn't have defeated Leonis even if I tried.
I approached a tree and found a strange on it. It looked like an arrow; I moved my thumb carefully around it. I found it interesting that this sort of thing was even in the hunger games. Then, the sound of something flying through the air came from behind me; I just had enough time, to dive away. I looked up to see an arrow stuck into the carving. I then looked in the direction the arrow came from. I could see no-one. I didn't risk it and ran away.
Tansy Hepperly (District 10)
I threw a knife and it hit the rabbit perfectly. I ran over and began skinning it. Memories of yesterday ran through my mind. Yesterday I had a reasonable sized alliance, now I was alone. Twig and Gideon both died in the blood bath leaving just me to fight till the end and fight I would do.
I'm going to win this thing, I said to myself. I knew I could win it. I had the highest training score, higher than Leonis. After everything I had been through in the past, I deserved to win. I had been beaten up by my father when I was young; I have the scars to prove it. And I had my family, the family I had to return to; Marny, my Mum and then Avon, my little unborn brother. I looked down at the bracelet on my wrist, Marny gave me this. A tear came to my eye and I quickly wiped it away not wanting to seem weak to the audience.
I started a fire and began cooking the rabbit; it was better cooking it during the day than at night. After it was cooked enough I stuffed it in my backpack the back pack was practically empty when I grabbed it, all that was in it were some matches, a piece of plastic which I wrapped the food in, and something to purify water. Non-the-less I have a backpack- somewhere to put stuff I find so I have my hands free. I was following the paths, which meant I was more than likely to bump into other tributes. There was no point in hiding; I would have to fight tributes in order to win.
I stood up and began walking down the path again. Something caught my eye at the side of the path. It was blue. I walked over to it and saw that someone had painted a wave at the side of the path.
I shrugged my shoulders and continued walking, then to my surprise a crack formed below my feet. I looked down at it, wanting to know what the game-makers were doing. Then the whole area below my feet collapsed and I found myself falling.
I landed in water; it brought a cool sensation to my body. I looked around; there was nothing to grab hold of. It was a good thing that I was a good swimmer. I began swimming and noticed that the ceiling was very low. Before me the water carried on, presumably to the way out. Then I heard something, I turned around to see a great wave forming. I swam even faster but it wasn't helping the wave crashed down on me and it became a fight between me and the water.
What did you think? My mind got carried away again -_- but owell, no deaths this chapter! xD Next chapter though hmmm... Heres a picture of were they are, kind of...
Silver, Leonis, Jet, Yvette, Finley and Sean- Near lake, South East of Cornucopia
Trinnith- In Woods/tree, west of cornucopia
Tansy- Under arena in river thing south west of cornucopia
Terra North West of Cornucopia in trees /woods
Adena and Jai- North or Cornucopia under mountains in cave thing
Cynara- East of Cornucopia in woods/trees
Don't know whether that helped, but hopefully it did a bit :)
