Well I hope you all enjoyed Honora and Orion, we will continue this format.

Be a man.

You must be swift as a coursing river.

With all the force of a great typhoon.

With all the strength of a raging fire.

Mysterious as, the dark side of

THE MOON.

A sharp pain arises out of my back as I open my eyes to see a bright light. The blurry surroundings of where I am tells me that I made it out of the games alive. Good, that backstabbing, lying, stupid girl didn't do me in.

"He shouldn't be bleeding this bad." says the Doctor doing the operation on my back. "He's been dead for years!"

Dead?

"Doctor, he's awake! Who is in charge on anesthesia for this tribute!"

Everything starts to fade, and suddenly I'm staring at nothing. The back of my eyelids are the only thing in my line of sight, but I can hear everything around me.

"I was hoping this kid wouldn't get picked." says a briskly male voice. "The girl from 2 really jammed that knife into his back. She twisted it around, he's going to take the longest to revive."

I hear suction sounds, and then the nurse chimes in as well.

"He's a very handsome tribute." she says.

"Those are the worst kind. Entitled to the win because they hit the DNA lotto. If I looked like this naturally, I wouldn't be a doctor. I can tell you that much. It's amazing how the freezer these kids were held in made them come out the exact same as they once were."

A couple of more minutes pass by and the doctor sounds optimistic about his work.

"Alright, that should do it. Thanks for your help, Lorna." he says. I feel myself being flipped over, and then a woman with a sultry voice enters the room. She is wearing heels, and it's very loud.

"I'm here to pick up the 12 boy." she says.

"Yes Ms. Vice President. One second, he still needs to be sent back."

Sent back?

Vibrant colors, memories of me and Nike playing in 2, the devastating feeling of being moved to twelve; they all flood through me in remembrance.

I am so displeased with Honora right now! Who does she think she is? She made me miss my favorite TV show on the Capitol network, and now I want to scream an awful lot. It's late though. Severely past my bedtime, and I don't want to get in trouble for being out of bed when I should be sleeping.

The bedroom to the girl's door was cracked a little bit. Vera needs the hallway light on because she's scared of the dark, so sneaking in their room should be no problem.

When I walk through the door it slightly creaks, and I freeze. Jinx turns over in her bed, but then doesn't move again, so it's safe to get to Honora from here. I walk directly across the room to her bed, and cover her mouth with my hand. She shoots up, and tries to scream. Upon seeing it's me though she calms.

I motion for her to come follow me, and she gets out of bed and follows.

"Have you lost your mind!?" she says. "It's like later than late right now! Mom is going to kick your butt. We have school tomorrow."

I've had this plan since the beginning of the day. I would pull her out of her room at night, and then we would fight. Then I would kill her. She's going to die anyways. She has no shot at the Hungry Games anyways.

"We need to talk. I'm very upset at you right now. You made me miss Cheddar's Great Adventure. It was the last showing of that cartoon for the season!" I say as I go over to the sofa and sit down on it.

"If you don't recall, genius, I also missed my favorite show Powderfly and the Magic Beans." she says. "I feel no sympathy for you. My only regret is that I slapped you. Not even because it caused you pain, but because it got me in trouble. If it were up to me, you'd be in a lot of pain. You're a jerk."

I get up from the couch and walk over to her and push her. She flies backwards and lands on the ground. She stands up immediately and looks at me with a shocked reaction..

"Have. You. Lost. Your. MIND?" she asked me.

She runs at me, and slams her body into me. I kick her in the stomach, and she falls over. I go under the pillow and grab the knife that I had pre placed there for this exact moment, and hold it in my hand. It feels nice, like it has been there before.

"ARES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" she screams as I come closer to her with the sharp object.

"You're going to die at 18 anyways, you might as well experience it now." I say as I hold the knife up ready to plunge. That's when Mom walks into the room.

"Ares." she says very calmly. "What are you doing with a knife? And holding it above your sister?"

"MOMMY!" screams Honora as she runs over and hugs her waist. "It was scary. He woke me up, and told me to follow him. Then he said he was gonna kill me. Mommy! Make him stop! Send him away." she says as she buries her face into Mom's stomach.

"Honora, go to bed, sweetheart. I'll come check on you in a minute."

Honora runs out of the room, and closes the door to the girl's bedroom. She clicks the lock button and then we hear the creaking of her bed squeak as she climbs in.

"Would you like to tell me what was going on, Ares?" asked Mom as she crosses to the sofa and sits down. She gestures for me to follow, and I do. Mom has never given me a reason to be upset with her. Just stupid, Honora.

"Mom, I was just so mad!" I say in a whiny tone. "She does bad stuff all the time and nobody gets onto her! All I said was shut up, and then I missed Chedd-"

"Ares, that doesn't explain your knife holding situation." says Mom.

"I was going to kill her." I say very matter of factly.

Mom buries her head into her hands, and sighs. I hear her muttering something to herself. Something like "This is why I didn't want to do this.", and then she just sits like that for a minute. She's sitting really quiet, and it makes me kind of uncomfortable.

"She's going to die anyways, Momma. I'm going to win the Hungry Games." I say very proudly.

"Ares," Mom says, "The Hunger Games are no joke. They're a very serious thing. I know that we call them a game, but they are the farthest thing from a game. Life isn't something that you just take for granted."

"Mom, why should she keep living if she isn't going to win? Isn't that kind of cruel."

"If only all of you knew who you really were."says Mom quietly.

"What did you say, Mommy?"

"Nothing, Ares. You need to go to bed. There is a big day tomorrow. No TV tomorrow either."

"BUT MOM!" I scream.

"Should have thought about that before you tried to kill your sister."

I pout as I stand up and stomp back into the room. I go and sit on my bed when I feel that there is a body already sitting there in it. I get my flashlight from under my bed and see Jinx sitting there staring at me with an angry look.

"What are you doing here?!" I whisper.

"If I catch you messing with my best friend again, you won't like the answer." says Jinx as she gets up and leaves the room.

I want fabulous!

That is my simple request.

All things fabulous!

Bigger and better is best!

"Where is Lloyd?"

There is a bright light in my face, and I'm so thirsty I could probably drink the atlantic ocean and still be thirsty. My throat hurts so bad.

The nurse that is taking care of me, smiles at me sweetly as she hands me a glass of water. It still doesn't answer my questions though.

"Did I win the games?"

She signals for me to drink my water, and I begin to sip on it. The water instantly wets my pallet, and it feels normal again. This is some good water.

I turn my neck and look around the room I'm currently inhabiting, and multiple cracks are heard as I turn my neck.

"What the hell is that?" I ask.

"Vera, there is no easy way to say this…" says the nurse

"Say what?"

She's about to start talking when a blonde lady with stroller that seats 7 kids rolls into the room. She already has 3 in her stroller, and she is a very pretty woman. If she had all three of those kids, let alone 7, she bounces back QUICK.

"I'm here for the District 11 girl." says the pretty blonde woman. "Oh, you're absolutely stunning." she says looking at me. "You'll be so pretty when we get some decent clothes on you."

"Wait, what do you mean here for the District 11 gir-"

Colors surround me, and I'm sent back in time. I was in the 102nd Games, in a relationship with Lloyd, and got my neck snapped at the bloodbath.

"WHY IS THE LIGHT OFF?!" I scream.

The other girls wake up in the room. Sashen rolls over on her side, and throws her covers over her head.

"You guys, I am not happy." I say as I sit in my bed, too scared to move.

Jinx gets up, or at least I think it's Jinx, and turns on the light. Yes, it was Jinx.

The clock on our bedside table says that it is 7:30 AM. School starts at 8:30, so we have time to get ready today. Today is Tuesday, and on Tuesdays, I like to wear purple.

I hope off of my bed and cross over to the closet. I start digging through the side that has my clothes in it. I grab a pair of bright purple sweat pants, and a purple striped shirt. On the shirt is two different shades of purple, and it has a fairy princess on it. I'm actually a fashion queen.

"Vera, you always dress so cute!" says Honora as she walks over to the closet and pulls the exact same outfit than me, just in a different color. She sports a very light blue.

"Thanks, Honora, honestly it's hard to be beautiful." I say. "Do you need a piece of my hair? I can't imagine how hard it is living with yellow hair."

"I think I'll live today. I'll go natural."

"What are you girls talking about?" Mom is standing in the doorway. She has her eyebrows raised, and she is already dressed in a bright yellow romper. Her white keds are so white they actually hurt my eyes. Her hair is in a high ponytail.

"Mommy, can you do my hair today?" I ask.

"Yes, Vera." she says as she calls me over and begins to do my hair. She ties it in a high pony, and she then cast it to the side.

"Wow! I look so pretty!" I say.

She laughs, "You sure do."

"Jinx and Sashen, it's time to get up!" says Mom.

The girls reluctantly roll out of bed, and I grab Mommy's hand. "I'm going to help you today." I say proudly.

"Sounds like a plan." says Mom.

"I'll be watching cartoons!" says Honora as she runs by us quickly to get to the TV remote before the boys get there.

Mommy leads me into the kitchen, and ask me to get the lunchboxes. I go into the pantry and grab all 7 of the lunch boxes. Each of them have a cool design on them, and a number. Mine has a purple unicorn on it, and an 11.

She gets the bread and the turkey out, and ask me to grab the mayonnaise and cheese, and I run to the kitchen to get them. They mayonnaise is on the top shelf, and I just stare at it because I don't know how to get it down.

"Vera, sweetheart," ask Mom. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know how to get it, mommy." I say.

She smiles as she walks over and grabs it, and then pauses. She sits it back on the top shelf and closes the door.

"Why'd you do that, mommy?" I ask.

"You're going to have to figure out how to get it down, Vera." she says.

I stare at her angry. I don't have time for this. I wanted to catch the last little bit of Powderfly and the Magic Bean, but Mommy is being mean.

I stare at the fridge door, and then look around the room. I see a kitchen chair, a counter, a overmit...OH A KITCHEN CHAIR!

I walk over and grab it as I drag it over to the fridge. I open up the door, and grab the mayonnaise for Mommy. She smiles as she takes it from my hand. "Thanks dear." she says. I hand her the cheese and then put the chair back, and close the fridge door.

Mommy tells me that it's okay to go watch cartoons with Honora, and I run out of the kitchen and into the living room.

"Honora! You'll never even guess what happened!" I say excitedly. "I got the mayonnaise down from the top shelf! All by myself!"

Her jaw drops as she stares at me surprised, and Jinx and Joseph walk into the room.

"Guys, do we have to watch Powderfly?!" ask Joseph as he throws his head back and whines.

"Yes." says Honora. "Vera wants to watch it, and she's had a very big morning already. Right, Vera?"

"Right, Honora."

Joseph comes and whispers to us as he sits down on the couch excitedly. "I actually like Powderfly. I just didn't want Ares and Orion to know that I like it. So I whined."

"Your secret is safe with me." I whisper back to Joseph. His bright blue basketball glasses are sitting lopsided on his face. He's never actually played basketball, but he liked those and Mom said who was she to take it away from him?

"You missed Powderfly almost drowning in the chocolate river. Then Ranbo Sludge tried to take over the candy tower, but the power of the magic bean saved them all, and Ranbo, I think, is dead. However, this has happened before. So we shall see."

"Okay, thanks for catching me up. I hate stupid Ranbo. I hope Powderfly unlocks her special powers and zaps him!" says Joseph.

We are able to watch ten more minutes of the episode before Mommy walks in and tells us it's time to go.

"Good!" says Joseph as he gets up. "I didn't want to watch this stupid girl show anyways."

And that is Vera and Ares! Next Chapter we will hear from Jinx, Joseph, and Sashen!

Who do you like better? Ares or Vera?

What did you think of these two?

Predictions?

Keep it classy,
