Nero POV
I was bursting with excitement as my tube started to rise. I stood on my toes and peered out at the Arena.
Oh, this is going to be fun.

Emmalie POV
Oh, god. I should have expected something like this for the first Quarter Quell. I was hoping it would be inside. I couldn't have been more wrong. The only color was the bright gold Cornucopia. Everything else was black- the scorched grass, the twisted, bare trees, the piles of jagged rock. Was the Arena Hell?

Eltara POV
Oh, look, a sickle. Is that for me? I think it is.

Dante POV
All right, time to begin! I thought as the tube raised. I saw the weapons in the Cornucopia and wondered which one I should take. Then I saw Frankie and Dath on either side of me.

Dath POV
Did Dante just wet his pants?
Dahlia POV
Ardun was seven platforms to my left. I caught his eye and looked at the Cornucopia. Let him get the supplies. I was out of there.

Beth POV
Wonderful. They couldn't hide from me here. I looked beside me to see who I would kill first. Mist and Torchy were my neighbors. I decided to save Torchy for later, since he was still fresh. As for Mist, I had to respect her.

Mouse POV
Should I run in? Nah, I'll steal stuff later. I just want to get out of here.
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
The gong rang, and all hell broke loose.
It's just chilling to scroll through the list of Tributes and outline the Bloodbaths in red. Even though they're just characters in a story, I feel like a murderer going over his hit list.
