She had come out of the bloodbath without any major injuries and had also managed to get hold of a spear. I was involved in a close encounter with Jessica but Astrid's death had given her room to escape.

I can now rest safely in this small cave I had found on the beach that gave me the perfect hiding spot. I had covered the entrance with another rock so that I would be alerted if anyone entered.

I could hear the anthem being played and peered out of her cave to have a glimpse of all the unlucky faces. There had been 4 canons earlier and the ones to die other than Astrid were Travis, Eleanor and Pollock. They were the youngest ones in these games and never really stood a chance.

For now she decided to get some rest in her cave and went to sleep grasping her spear tightly. Her stomach growled as she had not ate anything the entire day but she had gone through worse back home. She promised that the first thing she would do tomorrow would be look for food.

Jessica D7 F

What were the game makers even thinking? The only supplies the careers had were 2 large rucksacks and a crate. They had finished all the food in one of the rucksacks today itself.

"Gear up Luke, time to go hunting. Jess stay here and guard the supplies, we have very little so take proper care of it. Remember we only have 3 more days now otherwise all of us will be ash", said Hector with a maniac grin.

I could do nothing but agree to his command. They went in the direction of the hill and now only their silhouettes could be seen. A dangerous thought crossed my mind. There were only few of us left and it wouldn't be long before the alliance broke up. They would definitely turn on me as 7 is the new career district.

So I went inside the cornucopia and gathered all the supplies I would need into the remaining rucksack. Hector had taken one of them for hunting. I had taken a quarter of the contents from the crate so that my rucksack would be filled. I ran towards the west forest with the rucksack and axe in my hand.

Hypatia D5 F

I had 10 knives remaining with me after the bloodbath and decided to give 4 of them to Maxwell. After all he had got all other supplies and was sharing that with me. He had taken an average sized green backpack from the cornucopia that had coils of ropes and wires, an empty water bottle, beef jerky, matches and a sleeping bag.

We had camped near the waterfall behind some bushes that provided a cover. The waterfall diverged into two streams and flowed into both the forests. I had volunteered to take the first watch and Maxwell was sleeping comfortably. Just then I heard the sound of some boots, I immediately went to alert Maxwell about the intruders.

"What happened?" he asked looking a little irritated.

I told him to be quiet and pointed downwards to show the tributes who were approaching. Just like I feared it was the careers, both Luke and Hector. "We'll try to draw them to our traps and then escape" said Maxwell hurriedly.

Luke D4 M

"Hey look there, someone's running", I told Hector.

We shot off after them with our weapons ready. Hector was behind me probably because the weight of the rucksack was bringing him down. We approached the waterfall, it was dark but I could see well due to my night vision googles.

I saw some movement behind a bush and ran that way. All of sudden, my leg got stuck in a knot and next second I was hanging upside down on a tree.

Maxwell and Hypatia came out from behind the bushes to finish me but Hector charged to confront them. But the boy Maxwell targeted me with his knife and suddenly I felt a throbbing pin on my chest. He had hit me. Hector furiously brought down Maxwell with a punch but got a cut on the shoulder by a knife from Hypatia. Nevertheless he brought down his sword on Maxwell who was about to escape.

BOOM!

The girl ran off to the forest crying in agony. Hector cut me loose but I could slowly feel the energy draining out of me. Soon everything around blackened and I couldn't open my eyes.

BOOM!

Hayden D10 M

There were two canons blasted in quick successions. That meant only 6 of us were left. I had been lucky earlier in the bloodbath to escape with a backpack.

I had camped in the tallest tree in the forest and since then didn't leave its safety. I had enough supplies to last me 4 days so I will just have to sit here and wait for the others to take down each other. The plan was working fine till now.

Now that I was sure there was no danger around me I went back to sleep on the branch of the tree. I could hear some whizzing sounds probably from the mutts around. For now I was safe here…
