As soon as the gong sounds everyone starts running, no sprinting towards the cornucopia, everyone trying to get things that could very well be their salvation. Even I run to it, trying to face my fears and run. I just keep running, as I look past I notice the careers have already gone into slaughter mode. I see the boy from one, Gloss was his name and the boy from eight. He's attacking the little boy with his fists, strong powerful fists, in fact the little boy is already bleeding, he has blood running down his face. I just look away and continue running, I scoop up a backpack but I don't know what's in it.
Not wanting to stick around for much longer I turn and attempt to run but a feel a hand grab me by the shoulder and tug me back, off my feet and my back hits the floor with a thump, it hurts because the floor is hard stone. I see Shine Luxer standing over me with a knife in her hand. "My first kill..." She says with a smile and I feel the cool blade pressing against my throat.
I shut me eyes tightly as I feel her bring the blade across my throat, opening the deep wound. I'm coughing and spluttering as blood, warm blood drips from the wound, down my neck. Then suddenly my vision dims, the coughing the spluttering, it all just stops...
Kim Shae, 13, D3F
I need to find Robert, he's my only hope of surviving this. I sprint and see a canteen on the floor, weaving in and out of careers I grab it and look around quickly, making sure no one is coming at me. I see a blue backpack a few meters a head of me, summoning up the courage I get up and sprint over there, I scoop it up by the strap and strap it on my back. However as I look back I see the boy from District one, Gloss. His fists and face are covered in blood and he's running towards me with an axe (presumably from the cornucopia). I scream as he runs at me.
However before he can attack me he's tackled to the ground. For a second I think it's Xavier but then I see it's my district partner. Ben! Ben is on top of him as Gloss desperate tries to overpower him but he was caught by surprise. Why is Ben saving me? We're not even allied together. However before anything can happen I see that career, Alexis Cryde sprinting towards Ben with a Machete in her hand. I only have time to scream before she swings it. It effortlessly cuts through flesh, muscle and bone and his head simply falls off his body and hits the floor with a thud.
I look at the headless body and the head and let out a high pitched scream. Before Alexis could target me I kick my leg out and it hits her in the stomach and she's temporally winded, I take the opportunity to turn and sprint out of there, wanting, no needing to get out of this hell.
Robert Xavier, 16, D12M
I'm already at the cornucopia within seconds, armed with a sword, a canteen and two backpacks, one for me one for Kim when we meet up. I see the boy from seven, armed with some sort of saw or something (I didn't see it properly) and he takes a swing at me. I raise my sword and block it and knock him away and turn to sprint away. Cyrus just ignores me and goes to get more stuff. As I run I see one of the twins from six, I think it's Michael, being attacked by Demi Lanzer with an axe. However Michael is fighting back viciously with his glaive. As I sprint I see the boy from ten, hobbling with his bad knee. I don't know what makes me do it, as I get closer to him I swing my sword.
It doesn't kill him but looking back I wish it did. I sever his left calf at the knee, he falls to the ground screaming in pain. I see Kim sprinting away so I decide to follow. "Kim wait up!" I yell as I chase her with my now bloody sword in my hand.
David Fall, 16, D9M
I'm breathing heavily as the boy from seven charges at me, with a backpack and some kind of saw weapon. He swing at me and I roll to the side, dodging however he doesn't come back for another swing, he keeps barrelling away. I need a bow. More tributes are fleeing. I sprint to the cornucopia again, I see the girl from six fleeing as well, I don't know what she's armed with and I don't want to find out. Still charging in I quickly kick open a crate that's behind the cornucopia and I know I'm lucky. What I find isn't a bow and arrow but something, easer, a cross bow! I take it out and find ten bolts strapped there. I grab them and fit them in. Now I need to find my allies. I see Britan laying on the floor but still moving, she has a... spear in her stomach. I know she's not going to survive, I can't help her. But I know I can save Ari.
With luck I see Ari trying to flee but being chased by the girl from District ten. I take aim with the crossbow and fire. The bolt whizzes through the air and hits the girl right in the side of the neck. "Run!" I yell and start sprinting towards him, he takes the hint and sprints away as well. I look back and duck, dodging a whizzing knife from the district two boy. "Keep running!" I yell. I see the girl from ten, looking shocked wit the bolt in the side of her neck, most likely cutting through veins and arteries. She looks at me, her eyes look sad, shocked, she just wanted to go home and I took that away from her. I'm a monster.
I jump over the boy from ten (who's dying slowly) and sprint away from the cornucopia, it's just me and Ari now. Nothing we can do about it.

I grin to myself. Bullseye. I hit the girl from five with my spear and Mitchell has gone over to the boy from ten who's dying to finish him off. I smile and press the spear deeper into Britan's pathetic belly. "Better luck next time eh?" I chuckle as I pretty much taunt her as I press the spear deeper and deeper into her gut until she's crying, coughing and begging for mercy. I yank the spear out. "Oh wait, there won't be a next time..." I say and stab her in the same spot and then she stops moving. "Alright careers, let's go tribute hunting!" I announce.
Millie Sulvic- Like Ryan. I just couldn't see you making it past the cornucopia. I liked you as a character and you could've developed into so much more in the games but someone has to die in the bloodbath and unfortunately as you were at that time it has to be you.
Ryan Hitch- I'm sorry little bro but I just couldn't see you making it far when I created you. But you will be missed in district 8 by your friends and family. And hey, at least you tried right?
Ben Franks- I actually wanted you to survive past the bloodbath but I saw your death as a perfect opportunity to develop Kim's character. I'm sorry but you will be missed. And we all know your 'date' is missing out.
Pandora Woolkins- I initially was going to have you survive the bloodbath but I just needed to kill off more people. I couldn't find anything wrong with you but I needed to kill off more people in the bloodbath and it was getting hard to pick. In the end I had to randomise and it just had to be you. Your brother will miss you and so will the cows.
Joe Feltman- I confess. I had an agonising time killing people off after Ben died. But it was your knee. In a game where you need to be healthy you just lacked the agility to make it past the bloodbath. But seriously I liked you as a character but as a tribute you just couldn't make it far.
Britan Wikiheart- You were so brave the way you volunteered for you sister but you're just too nice. I just couldn't see you becoming much use to your alliance. It's not that I think you were bad, no. It was just becoming harder to write as you and as the games progressed it only would've become more difficult. I'm so sorry but your sister and family will miss you. I will miss you.
