Saffra (District 2)
My family think they can buy me? They have another thing coming.
That necklace was one of the most expensive necklaces you could buy it had a real ruby stone. It meant nothing to me; no one owned it before me. No one gave it to me to remember them by. My parents may have tried that but it didn't work! It just made me remember how rich they were.
Griffin had a computer chip made out of wood from his family which was much more appropriate and represented who he was.
I had seen Floss killed, I had killed someone myself. I wasn't the rich kid from District 2, I was Saffra, a girl who had to kill to protect herself and to avenge the death of an ally, maybe even a friend. Three people had died today, maybe the capitol had their thirst for blood quenched and that would be enough for a few days.
I lay down and tried to sleep but it wouldn't come. Too much had happened today; even if I did fall asleep I would have nightmares.
Griffin was asleep; luckily he didn't snore! I wondered how Leonis was doing, how many people he might have killed. He had a great chance of winning. I wish volunteering had been allowed and then Leonis would have had a decent district partner and not me. Would Leonis have volunteered?
I wondered who would have volunteered for me. Someone would have, they usually do, especially in District 2. I stood and grabbed the sword, just in case I ran into another tribute and walked into the woods. Only then did I realise how many animals inhabited the arena. Birds sung to one another, yellow eyes glared around the corners at me and animals climbed the trees.
I could have attacked any of them if I wished; I had killed a human being hadn't I? Animals must be easier to kill. Who would have thought that a rich kid like me could kill someone, not to mention a career!
Sean (District 4)
The sun broke over the hills signifying that I should waken my allies. I stood and looked at all of them; I didn't want this alliance to end. I could probably kill Leonis and Yvette if it came to it, but Silver? She stirs slightly in her sleep, she is so beautiful. It really wasn't fair. I let out a sigh and crouched down beside her to wake her up. Her blue eyes open into mine and I smiled a little before moving on to Yvette. Jet still hadn't returned and who knew where he was. When I tell Yvette she looked even more disappointed. She hoped he would at least return for her. When it came to Leonis I simply nudged him with my boot.
"We need to forget about Jet, until he returns. For now we just need to find the other tributes. Last night I tried to remember who was left. There was Saffra from Leonis' District, the girl from district 5, the boy from 6, the cat, the boy from eight or nine, I can't quite remember, Tansy and the boy from 12," I said.
The anthem played and I looked at the others in confusion, there weren't normally any twists this early o, especially after three people died yesterday.
"Good morning tributes, sorry for waking some of you, well done for making it half way, it is a great achievement. It has been decided that this year's quell needs more attention. Therefore for the next four days there will be four one-to-one battles, one each day until we get to our final eight," he said.
What was going on? This can't be right, can it?
"The Capitol will vote for who they want to send into the one-to-one battle. The two favourites that day will be taken into a room underneath the arena to fight to the death. The winner will be picked up by hovercraft and that tribute will receive any medical attention needed. They will only return to the arena after the fourth fight. By the end of the four days, four of you will be dead, four of you will still be in the arena and four of you will have received medical attention."
Ok, that meant four will be normal, four will be stronger and four will be dead. Would we be going back to the capitol or just staying on the hovercraft for the four days? This was interesting, this way they could make sure people die at least every day. Could we still kill in the meantime?
I hoped I didn't end up with someone like Leonis. Someone more like that kid from six would do me good. That is, if I am voted for. I hope so. I would be stronger if I won.
What if Silver and I were chosen? That couldn't happen, I wouldn't allow that to happen, anybody but Silver. I know she has to die, but she wouldn't die at my hands. I would try my best to make sure of it.
"Good luck tributes, the capitol have already been voting for twenty two hours, in two hours time you will find out who is in the first battle, in the meantime, happy hunger games."
"Well then," Yvette said to break the silence. We were all worried about this in some way. I was scared that I would be voted for with Silver; Yvette probably felt the same about Jet. Even Leonis probably didn't want to kill Yvette after the whole blood bath episode.
"Yvette?" Jet's voice came from behind me; I turned around and picked up my sword.
"Chill, I didn't kill anybody. Saffra killed Finely, I tried to go after her but she had vanished, I then got tired and slept," he said to me. I cautiously lowered my sword and nodded.
Yvette ran to him and fell into his arms. She shouldn't get too happy; she might have to kill him.
Terra
Well, wasn't this great. One person had to die in a one to one battle for the next four days? Perfect! I really hoped I would be in the four who weren't voted for. Then I could just stay here and wait. The careers probably wouldn't come looking for me in the meantime and, even if they did, they wouldn't find me.
I also hoped that Leonis and Sean would get each other or maybe Leonis and Tansy, or even one of them and Silver. It would be a great way to get rid of some of the stronger tributes, leaving the fight just between us underdogs. Maybe I would have a really good chance at winning. I could win this; I just needed to make sure I wasn't voted for. So far, everything had gone fine. I hadn't walked into any other tributes. The game makers have left me alone. If this carries on, I could win.
I began to wonder what would happen if I did win, if I returned home having killed people. Would I be the same Terra?
I let out a sigh and threw a knife at one of the trees. If I'm perfectly honest doing nothing but hiding was pretty boring, but it's something I had to do, otherwise I would probably already be dead.
I stood and walked to the tree to retrieve my knife only to see a parachute fall beside me. My mentor had sent me something, but I didn't need anything, not really anyway. I opened it to find some night vision glasses. This made me chuckle. I would be even more like a cat now.
Cynara Thistle
I was still shaking from seeing Octa. That was definitely done in order to mess with us tributes mentally, make us mentally scared instead of physically. I think I have worked out the arena now. A picture equals the real thing. It's quite creepy actually, to think that just by looking at the picture of Octa could make her almost come alive and attack you in some way.
I wondered if this had happened to any of the other tributes, maybe someone has already lost their life because of it.
The anthem played and I know that they are about to announce the first fighters. Hopefully it wouldn't be me. It couldn't be me, right? Then again that's what I thought before the reapings and here I stand.
"Tributes, the votes have been counted," I smirked at how professional and stupid this sounded, but then again, this was serious, someone would die. Well as long as it wasn't me, everything would be fine.
"The first tribute to fight in the first battle is...Sean Odair." I think that was one of the careers, he would win, unless he was fighting another career.
"The second is..." Not me...not me! "Cynara Thistle!"
It would be me! I would have no chance against him! I don't even have any weapons. I knew that this would be my last hour or so of life.
ok...I have some things I want to know...A) Who do you want to win that battle? B) Who do you think will win? C) DO you like the little twist on the twist? and I have a poll up on my profile on who are your favourite tributes..all tributes except the ones who died the first day are up so Floss etc ;D Review please xD
And see you in two weeks ...well abit more because I will have to actually write it so three weeks then...:( Sorry for the wait! I will try and write some on holiday! xD thanks! I really apreciate all the kind reviews xD
