The 103rd Hunger Games
28 years after the events of Kaniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the Hunger Games are still going strong. President Snow was killed by Katniss, who was then executed along with all major rebels. Only a few surviors. This year, all the tributes have been submitted by users on the Hunger Games wiki, but there can only be one victor... And that is Aurora Wilde, Congrats to NerdDFTBA and Aurora for winning the games :)
First Things First
- In the games there may be some mature language, well, what would you say if some crazy person was chasing you with an axe, if anyone has a problem with that please tell me
- Please do not use the comments as ADS, it is very annoying and deducts from the whole purpose of the games, I had no ads and in 4 days i have nearly 300 comments, so suck it up.
- If something happens to your tribute in the arena, e.g. die, please don't get angry at me, 23 people have to and one lives, chances are it might not be you
- If you wish to break off an alliance on any further things about your tribute. PLEASE make it a new comment, it is very annoying when it says i've got a new comment and i have to look through 5 pages of comments to find it
- If you did not get into these games, because you were too lazy and joined like yesterday, I am sorry and you may join my next games
- The games will not be written the same way as the reapings, but rather only people who have a major part in the games, however everyone does speak once.
- If you are submitting a stylist, also submit the interview designs and not just the Chariot.

District 1
Ore's POV
The same nightmare, the same one for months. How many time do i see mum shot in the head, dad's throat being slit... Topaz being stabbed to death. And the newest addition. My fingers being cut off. But i showed that peacekeeper and, oh, did he regret it. Begging for mercy as i plunged the knife into him... 15 times. Slowly, i climb out of the cell bed. See, even though i killed a peacekeeper because he killed my family. I have to stay in a holding cell. As soon as my feet touch the floor, my guard Satin appears.
"It's reaping day," she says gleefully. Of course, it's at my expense. I'm getting my name put in 600 times, because I'm 16. So i have a very high chance of being put in the games. It takes a little while but eventually i'm dressed and at the square. The Capital Rep, Glavius Flavourton, or Glavy Flave as he makes us call him, bounds onto the stage.
"HELLO!" He screams, he is answered by a fair amount of applause. he dances on the stage as he gives his speech and then announces that he will pick the tributes.
"For the girls, Sapphire Gleam!" he announces with a huge smile
"I voulnteer." yells a girl in the back. She hops onto the stage and tells "Glavy" that her name is:
"Emily Hatches!" she giggles. She takes her place next to a peacekeeper and "Glavy" goes over to the boys. Satin nudges her gun into my back, i would protest, but i like my head and i want it to stay on!
"Voulenteer." she grumbles, what. Is she insane. No way. I feel the gun in my back and as soon as Glavius announces the name I...
"VOULENTEER... I VOULENTEER AS TRIBUTE!" I scream, Satin gives me a horrible grin and I walk up onto the stage.
Octavian beckons me onto the stage and I stand next to Emily. She looks at me and then flicks her head in disgust.
"Well, here are your Tributes!" yells Glavius as we walk into the Justice Building
Emily's POV
The water gently laps over my feet as i lie on the beach, the hot sun blazing down on my skin, my hat blocking my eyes from the rays. I'm so at peace. My Boyfriend Emerald is laying next to me. He puts his arm round me and i don't hesitate to move closer into his arms. He kisses me on the nose and I open my eyes. I sit up and ask him what is wrong.
"Reaping." he says in his seductive voice. I shrug it off. No big deal. He playfully grabs me and picks me up. He spins me around before tossing me into the sea. We laugh and kiss and hug for a while, before he helps me get dressed, a simple cami-top and shorts. We walk to the square and take our places in the crowd. Suddenly our Capital Rep Glavius Flavourton bounds onto the stage
"HELLO!" He screams, in return a few clap. Not myself of course or Emerald. He leaps about the stage with his speech for a while. Then he announces that he will be picking the tributes.
"For the girls, Sapphire Gleam!" he announces with a huge smile, ugh, i hate that girl, she's in the year above me in school. So to stop her from getting all the glory i raise my hand and shout.
"I voulenteer!" I run up onto the stage, taking care to give a nasty look to Sapphire. Then when i take my place, i begin to realise what i have done. I've signed my own death warrant. I will die. I will never see Emerald again. Or My sister or mother or father or even my little dog. The tears roll down my cheeks as the boy tribute comes up onto the stage. I look at him and turn away in half disgust/ half not wanting to show weakness. Glavius jumps around before leading us into the Justice Building. I cast a look back and I see Emerald, with... really... yes real tears on his cheeks.
District 2
Matt's POV
"Wake UP!" screams the teacher. Woah, her voice shoots through me and in one quick motion. I'm off the bed and on the floor. My head smacks off the stone and it hurts like hell. I feel the sharp pain of a stick hit off my back, and flatten out even further.
"Reaping Day, get up. Chop Chop!" says the teacher in a fast, high voice. I feel a hand grab my shirt and heave me up. I almost laugh. The teacher is a GUY! He has a crazy look in his eye as he throws me into a bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror. God, i need a shave. Then i see the reflection of something, i look at it and i realise where i am. I'm at the Career's academy for boys. Basically i need to go here until I'm 18, by law. Most of us don't live here, but i do. I thrust the memory from my mind before it can even enter it. So i take a shower and get dressed quickly. Then that horrible teacher drags us all down to the square. Soon after the Escort for District 2 named Althea appears. She just walks onto the stage slilently, and then when she's in the middle. She begins to do a dance.
"First, da, da, Is The, la, la, Gggggggiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllssssssssss." She screams. She dances about the stage before announcing a name.
"Annabelle Combe." she sings. A stunned looking 12 year old walks up onto the stage.
"NO, I VOULENTEER!" screams a girl at the back. A Girl my age walks onto the stage and hugs the little girl, she whispers something in her ear before taking her off the stage. Althea asks for her name and she says something barely audiable. Althea looks a bit sympathetic, but it quickly vanishes and she calls out the boys name.
"Matthew Coupe." I look around for who it is, when it dawns on me. Its me! I half expect a voulenteer but then i remember the rule of our Academy. No voulenteering unless the reaped person is 18, The only exception being family and my family is dead, and i'm not 18. I silently take my place and keep my head down.
Thalia's POV
"Wake up." says a voice softly. My eyes groggily open and my sister Annabelle, or simply Anna, is standing over me. She grabs my arm to pull me out of my bed and because she's so young, its really cute. She heaves and pulls but can't get me to budge. I laugh and then climb out of the bed, she scowls at me, but then laughs and gives me a hug. As I let her go, she pulls me tighter and i have to wonder what's wrong. I lean down to her height and whispers in my ear.
"Its Reaping Thalia, my first." she mutters in my ear. Immediatly I pull her closer, trying to staunch her tears, and stop my ones from forming. Soon after we are dressed, we begin the long walk to the square. When we arrive I manage to get Anna into place where i can keep an eye on her, So, I'm worried. District 2 people have feelings you know. I am preoccupied with Anna when the District 2 escort, Althea, She walks onto the stage and when she gets to the middle, she starts dancing. I shake my head in half disgust/ half terror. I can see Anna's terrifed face.
"First, da, da, Is The, la, la, Gggggggiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllssssssssss" She sings as she jumps around.
"Annabelle Combe." Wait, what. I see Anna walk up onto the stage and stand next to Althea. And before Althea can ask for voulenteers, I'm screaming it.
"No, I voulenteer!" I shout as i sprint onto the stage. I barge Althea out of the way and hug Anna. Then i tell her that everything will be Ok. She nodds assent and walks off the stage. Then I walk over to Althea and tell her my name. Everything in my world seems bleack and meaningless. And i can't even remember my name.
District 3
Tim's POV
I sprint through the forest, their eyes trained on me. They follow me but my quick legs make me move to fast to be caught up with. I shoot a glance over my shoulder and when I look back I see I am on the edge of a huge canyon, but because i was running so fast i can't catch my balance. I tip off the edge and fall into the darkness, I see my pursuers look at me as I fall, one looking so familiar. But before i can put my finger on it, I crash into the ground
"Ahhhhh!" I scream. I sit bolt upright and the cold sweat drips off my hair. Just a dream, just a dream. Too many hours in that factory, the fumes could drive someone insane. I shake my head and clamber out of bed. My eletronic time telling device (or more simply, alarm clock) tells me that i'm late for the... reaping. Crap, i forgot about it. I hurridely grab a shirt and trousers and throw them on, I run out the door half awake and half, run half stagger to the square. Our Capital Rep Jackson Fowler goes onto the stage.
"Let's just get this done with, Female.... is, erm... Michelle Volts." he says in a hurried voice, like he's late for a manicure. Which he probably is. Michelle takes her place on the stage and begins to cry.
"And the guys is... Tim de Winters." I freeze, what. Me, oh, god. I walk onto the stage and stand next to Michelle, thinking about my district and how i probably will never see it again.
Michelle's POV
I wake up in my huge double bed, I strech out and feel my bones crack, suddenly my butler Gaax walks in.
"Hello, Miss Volts. How may I be of service." he asks politley, I ask him for breakfast and he runs off, ahh, live is good, see my uncle Beetee was in the Victor's purge 28 years ago, and after the failed rebellion, he went over to the Capital's side so i get to enjoy fame and fortune. Woohoo. Yeah, so i son't have to go to school or even get out of bed, except on reaping day. No amount of wealth can save someone from that. I'm still oblidged to go, and if i don't I'm killed, super rich or not. I crawl out of my bed and throw on a summer dress and matching shoes, finally i put my hair up and I walk downstairs, just as Gaax is coming up. I tell him to go downstairs and I eat there. In utter silence. When we are finished Gaax starts up our car, a high horsepower, low carbon emition super car. So we are at the square in minutes, just as the Capital rep Jackson Fowler appears, he checks his nails and speaks like he's missing an appointment for a mani-pedi.
"Lets just get this done with, Female... is, erm.... Michelle Volts." I look at Jackson and he sees my eyes well up with tears. I walk onto the stage and start crying, I'm not even aware of Jackson picking the male tribute, who I recognise slightly.
District 4
Derek's POV
The cool water splashes over my chest, its blissfully clear and calm. I am at peace on this beach, the white sand is not cold, but not too warm, I'm free, single and hot! Girls run by in their bikinis, and we play volleyball, but after a while they say they have to leave.
"Why are you going?" I ask as the girls, and guys, walk away. They tell me its the reaping and ask me if i knew, to be honest i didn't really know. Anyway, my last reaping today, I think i'll voulenteer, nothing to lose, everything to gain. So i walk over to a hut and put on a top and shorts. Basic wear for district 4, where everyday is on the beach. Casually i walk to the square and stand at the front, I want my hand to be the first one the escort sees. Suddenly, the half fish/half capital rep bounds onto the stage, his real name is Ryan Woods, but we have to call him "Flipper" ugh.
"Hello, ladies and fish." he giggles, I really hate this guy. he bounces around and makes some fish related jokes. After that he begins to announces the tributes.
"For the girls, Jessie Lancaster." he announces, A girl near me starts screaming about voulenteering, she barges the girl called aside and runs onto the stage, She announces that her name is Zara Lancaster, so she must be the other girl's sister.
"And the boy, Tide Blue." he says, damn, not me. Well only one thing to do.
"I voulenteer." is shout. I walk onto the stage and look out over the district. Home sweet home.
Zara's POV
I throw the knife and it nails the dummy between the eyes, i move onto the next one, throwing as i run, the first knife hits the chest, the second hits the shoulder and the final one hits the neck, I run at the dummy and jump, i backflip of its head and send my last knife at the third dummy. I sit down and pant, exhausted.
"Mediorce! Hit the showers!" yells the coach, A few other girls and I sadly walk into the locker room. Today was the last day of training before the reaping, chances are, one of us won't be here next week. We all have a group hug before changing and heading off to our houses for a few precious hours before the reaping. I go home and as soon as i'm through the door my little sister Jessie runs up to me and gives me a huge hug. She grabs my hand and shows me one of her drawings, its of a fish and its really good. Then i drag her to the square, she's 13 so she knows the drill, but its still a shock when Ryan "Flipper" Woods runs onto the stage, you can hear the 12 year olds scream.
"Hello ladies and fish!" he jokes, this guy really gets on my nerves.
"The girl is, Jessie Lancaster." he annouces. What, no. She's is not going in.
"I voulenteer." I scream, i run onto the stage and whisper to Jessie that I love her, and she runs off the stage. I close my eyes and all i can think is, she's safe, your not Zara.
District 5
James's POV
Nina runs up to me and throws her arms around me. I hug her back and give her a little kiss on the cheek. I love my little sister, even though we are completly different skin colours. See, my dad is Nina's dad but we have different Mum's. Dad died last year and as the oldest of our family I've had to take care of them, god forbid I got reaped for the games, not only would i be toast, but all my brothers and sister woul starve too. I haven't told Nina about our different mum's yet, nor about Dad's death, she just thinks he is away on a long trip to District 3 to get help with the power and things we make here. Then it hits me it is reaping day, I've got to take all 6 of my siblings to the square. This will be just great. We go back inside and gather up our siblings, there is 7 of us, me, the oldest. Nina, who is 14, Jack, who is 12 and his twin Jenna who is also 12, Annelise who is 9 and Emmeline who is 6. Odds are never in our favour, Nina and I have to take terassae, lots of it. I hear the portion in some districts are terrible but it's worse here.So I walk them on down to the square and just as we arrive, the rep Bethany Lee jumps onto the stage.
"OK boys and Girlllllllls, were gonna pick some tributes, ya!" she cheers."For the girls, Nina Garcia." Nina looks frozen, no I'm not going to let her die.
"I voulenteer!" i shout. Bethany beckons both of us onto the stage, and she couldn't even tell we were related. I look out over the district, Nina will be here again. And not in a coffin.
Nina's POV
I run up to James and give him a hug, which he doesn't hesitated to return. He kisses me on the nose. It's reaping day and I'm petrified, not only for myself but for my siblings, all 6 of them. I can't live without James, or any of the others. We are a big family, Dad's still on that trip, so he has left us to deal with all our siblings. Oh well, we get out of school in order to do so. We just don't get out of reaping. Yeah, that's today, its Jack's first reaping. But me and James are veterans at these things so we are fine. We walk inside to collect our siblings, little Emmeline is drawing and we have to pull her away to go to the reaping, now she is crying and it is a really sad sight to see. We manage to drag all the wee ones to the square, where we put them with a peacekeeper, for safe-PEACEing, get it. Nevermind. Yeah so me Jack and James head into the crowd. Standing in our age scetions when the rep Bethany Lee runs onto the stage
"OK boys and Girlllllllls, were gonna pick some tributes, ya!" she giggle."For the girls, Nina Garcia." Oh god. I'm going to die. Really going to die, James raises his hand and shouts that he voulenteers, he runs onto the stage and I follow, quietly, silently, terrified.
District 6
Norman's POV
I scream in pain as my face hits the cobbles. The blood begins to gush from my nose and I can feel my cheek swelling up
"Don't you dare touch my products." yells the shopkeeper, she hits me in the back with a cane and i hit the ground again. Just as she walks away, I scramble to my feet and grab an apple from her stall. She is yelling for the guards but I am way too fast, I dive down an alley and manage to stay hidden as the peacekeepers run by. Phew, that was close. I carefully stick my head out the alley and see that there is no one there. Hurriedly I run down the street and make it to my favouite Cafe, The Greasy Spoon. The waitress Estelle walks over and opens her notebook, before getting a look at my bruised face.
"What the hell happened?!" she asks. I open my mouth to say something, but I don't want to tell her I steal from stalls, hello, relationship destroyer.
"I tripped and fell." I answer, well its part of the truth. She nods and I order a coffee, I need something strong, Its reaping day. I'm 17 and so is Estelle so it is our second last reaping, a full 5 years of luck. When she returns, I thank her by giving her a hug, but i slip a post it note into her hand. I wrote, Meet me after the Reaping. I want to tell you something. Love -N. I quickly leave the coffee shop but I glance at Estelle, she matches my gaze and smiles, I open the door and walk out. I run over to the square with Estelle meters behind me. Lauren Trinket, Effie's daughter, our Capital rep is already on the stage.
"For the girls... Lynette Handsows." she announces, not to sound heartless, but I don't know her so I don't really care. But I am thrilled for Estelle, just me to go
"For the boys, Norman Hantor." I look around but I don't know anyone by that name except... me. Oh god, I walk onto the stage, petrified and I see Estelle stare at me in horror. My life is over, literally
Lynnette's POV
I'm just putting the finishing touches on the bike when Dad walks in.
"Its reaping Lynnie, you've got to go!" he yells. Yeah, I know why he is so stressed aout me going. last person who didn't... Ok, don't wanna think about it.
"Its nearly done." i say, I place the last light on the bonnet and stand up. I'm covered in oil and grease. Not exactly the most attractive of things but i beleive in practicality over appearance, my hair is slick with grime. He scoffs at me and demands i take a shower, I reluctantly agree. I hop into the shower ad wash away my day, I keep draming about being back under that car. When I'm out, my dad drives us to the square, see becasue we make the cars and bikes, we get to keep a few, so we don't go everywhere on foot. We get there in about 5 minutes and I'm pretty early, one of the first people there. I quickly make my way into the small crowd and it begins to fill up, I seem to notice every small detail of everything. The girl beside me has a pearl necklace on, a fake one, The boy on the other side has been crying, and it would be hard to miss Lauren Trinket's huge red nose.
"Hello everyone." she says, "Were just gonna get down to it, Girls is.. Lynette Handsows." Me, oh god. Well that car ain't getting finished. I quietly take my place. I wish some stupid girl would voulenteer but no, I'm getting shipped off in a coffin.
District 7
Sam's POV
"No, you have to throw at an angle!" screams my mum Johanna. She grabs the axe out of my hand and throws it at the target. It embeds itself in the wall right on the bullseye. She gestures at it and yells. I grab an axe and throw it the way she showed. It smashes a vase and goes right into the wall so that only the handle is showing. I look at Johanna. She smiles, woah. That must have been a good throw. Johanna never smiles.
"I think you are ready." she says incospicously. She walks over to a painting and flips the frame. A human figure appears. It is a simulation of a tribute, its kind of jelly looking and it even simuates blood. I smile, I grab my axes and run towards the body, i throw a axe at it and it hits it in the chest. It moves aside and another appears. I throw and throw and throw and throw, each hitting expertly. By the time the axes are gone I am covered in sweat. Next thing i know I'm standing in the square. The Rep is on the stage, Alex Reid is his name.
"For the Girls, Aurora Wilde." he announces. A terrified looking 12 year old walks onto the stage. She stands silently. Oh well, she isn't gonna win. She is dead meat.
"And the Boys. Oh this is a good one... Sam Mason." Me, oh god its me. I walk onto the stage and think of my Mum, she won this. So can I...
Aurora's POV
I'm woken up by my dad coughing. I jump out the bed and run over to him. He is hacking up blood. I remember the class about what to do when this happens. I run into the bathroom and throw open the meds cupboard. I grab his tablets and a glass of water, i run back and give him the tablet and the water. His coughing stops and the blood has stopped as well.
"I'm getting better." insists my dad. No he isn't, you can see it in his eyes, he is so tired and is in so much pain. Every breath hurts. I help out of his chair and into his bed. I just remember, it is the reaping day today. I took terassea, enough to get some more medicine so my name is in 10 times, still 10 is more than I want. I would rather 0, but that's not an option. My dad begins to nod off, so i quietly sneak out of the house and head to the square. The Rep Alex Reid is on the stage, he is giving his speech about some shizz, i don't really care.
"For the girls, Aurora Wilde." Oh, I shouldn't have taken that last terassea, I walk onto the stage and stand there silently, for some reason I don't feel scared or shocked or sad. I acutally think, if i try and have good allies and sponsors. I could win this thing, I will win this thing.
District 8
Leo's POV
I'm minutes late, not good, not good. I manage to make it just after the begining of the speech and by the looks on pepole's faces, I haven't missed much
"Welcome, welcome," starts the rep, "We, are not going to give the speech-"
"Get on with it!" yells someone at the back. She looks quite taken aback. She begins to take a tantrum and starts swinging her arms about, unfortunatly, she smashes one of the glass balls. She lets out a scream and a peacekeeper has to finish the reaping.
"For the girls, Luna Snare," he begins. A red headed girl takes her place and keeps her head down, "and the boys is Leo Milan." That's me. I walk onto the stage and look at Luna, she's got a better chance of winning than I do. And that's saying something.
Luna's POV
My bed is comfy and warm, i don't want to leave it. Even if it means I'll be killed. I know right, what 15 year old girl do you know that speaks like that, Its more common in Panem than it ever has been, especiallly after Katniss and Peeta destroying everyone's lives with a rebellion and then being killed, leaving all us to live in their ruins. I climb out of the bed and head out of my room, my mum is out cold on the couch, my dad on the floor. I can smell the alcohol of them. I love my parents, but I think they need to wisen up. They are brain-dead from all the booze. It disgusts me. I quickly rouse them but they ward me off so i just leave. I'm at the square before I know it.
"Welcome, welcome," she begins, "we are not going to give the speech-" she is inturupted by someone at the back.
"Get on with it." yells someone. She looks quite angry and she takes a tantrum, and a peacekeeper has to finish the reaping for her.
"The girl is Luna Snare, and the boy is Leo Milan." Oh well, I don't know anyone called that, except... My name is Luna, out of thousands the name was mine. Why did it have to me? My Mum and Dad are going to have to look after ben without my help. Thry need to sober up... and now!
District 9
Ashley's POV
Running through the woods, sprinting even. The wolfs are meters behind me, their teeth snapping at my heels. They yell at me and I throw myself round a corner, right into another wolf. It opens its jaws and its teeth come speeding down onto my back, the blood flows out of my back. The pain is blinding and my eyes glaze over. The teeth come snapping down one last time and teeth chomp down on my neck.
"Ahhhh!" I scream. I dive out my bed and throw on clothes. Its reaping, and I'm late. I sprint out of the door, not bothering to shut the door. I run straight down the streeet and into the square. Just as the rep is calling out the names, I don't hear the name of girl but a excepitonally hot girl heads onto the stage. What a waste. I manage to get into the crowd
"Ashley Barnston." says the Escort. That's me, oh crap. I'm going to be killed by a sword or a arrow or a axe or someone's hands, I walk onto the stage and look at the Girl, she's even prettier close up, I hope she's not the one that kills me...
Daniella's POV
Being a Orphan is hard, everyone laughs at you, you have no one to talk too. It sucks. But I managed to get through that stage. Now no one speaks to me and people shoot glances at me in the halls. I've always gotten through it, but no, no more. I took excessive amounts of terassea, I want to be reaped, I want to be killed, I never want to feel this pain again. I'm shook back to my senses by a girl beside me.
"Dani, you're the tribute." she says. She gives me a hug and I try to pull away: I don't know this girl, but the sheer lack of love and friendliness I get keeps me in her arms. When she lets go, my eyes are tearing and I walk onto the stage. My frail body threatens to snap if I try to do anything drastic. I will admited I wanted to be picked, but not like this, with everyone staring and gasping. Its too much to handle, my legs collapse underneath me and I feel the walls closing in. I haven't eaten in days. Everything is so... cold. I cough, and blood hacks out my mouth, my head rolls back and everything goes black...
District 10
Christian's POV
The sheer lack of food is really getting to me, I can't feel my toes and my fingers feel numb. Luckily, I managed to find a piece of bread yesterday, so I'm not completely famished. The reapings are today as well, oh crap. I decide to go because its in my best interests, and because they hand out free food. I set out on the journey to the square, its going to take at least an hour. Luckily there is a market on the way there, and my fast fingers may come in handy. Half an hour later, my hands are covered in berry juice, my belly is full of apples and pears and plums and fruits I don't know the names of, it's satisfying. Being full, its like, you can do anything, be anyone. I am Christian Lorne, and I am late for the reaping. I sprint for the square, which I can now do because I'm fed. and manage to make it before the peacekeepers put down the barricade, sliding across the asphalt.
"Hello, the female tribute is Kayleen Quaid." says the Escort, Kayleen runs into the stage, a tall but fragile girl with blonde hair and freckles. She looks scared, typical D10 tribute, I'd be suprised of she lasted the bloodbath. I hope the boy is better, someone strong, someone trained, someone like... me. The escort calls my name and my "wish" comes true, I am all those things and I will win the hunger games, I will...
Kayleen's POV
Horrible, that is what these games are, they are horrible, no one deserves to die before they have truly lived. But we are made to die for sport. It sickens us, although we don't talk about it unless we want our heads blown off. My leg is in agony as I hobble to the square, across the cobbles. I injured it yesterday in the fields, I fell and a cow stampeded over it. All I need now is to be chosen for the games and not be able to walk. Ha, me in the games, as if. My name is only in a few times so I'm as safe as I can be, not completly safe, but as close as we are allowed. The escort Rachela runs on in those ridicolous high heels, a shocking pink and that's not mentioning her hair. God, she looks like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards, unbefrickenliveable. The way these people dress, I just wear a simple jumper and jeans, they wear extravegent dresses, that. Ok, look a bit nice. Who am I kidding, they are fabulous. I wish I could wear them
"Hello, the girl is Kayleen Quaid." says Rachela, well my dream came true, I get to wear a extravagent dress, and then I'll have my head cut off and fed to the mutts. A Dream, into a nightmare.
District 11
Randy's POV
Sprinting through the fields, its the best way to excersise and relax in my opinion. The trees zip by you and the birds are desparetly trying to catch me up. Its an amazing feeling. The only bad thing that happens, is you get tired fast. Or at least I did in the begining, now its easy. But today its the reaping, I can always run from that. Until i get shot in the back of the head, of course. I take a left out of the fields and I'm somewhere I've never been before. The grass is as high as my shoulders, and thats saying something. Suddenly, a mutt jumps out in front of me. Crap, I scramble backwards and try to run to the orchards, the mutt scrapes at my back, I tumble forward and it's claws barely miss me. I manage to get to the orchards, The mutt doesn't get past the gate but I don't stop running until I reach the square. I'm completly out of breath as I kneel on the cobbles. Suddenly the rep Seeder runs onto the stage.
"Hello, boys and girls of District 11!" she says with almost annoying enthusiam. She dances about on the stage and flips her hair over her shoulder.
"The female tribute is... Mia Luke." Its a sadenning sight, a 13 year old girl heads onto the stage. She looks terrified and probably is.
"And the male is Randy Stevens." she says. That's me. Oh, my god. I walk onto the stage. District 11 never has a winner, this year. I will make it me. I will.
Mia's POV
The rough branch of a tree digs into my back. I strech out my limbs and feel my musles loosen. I quickly crouch on the branch and scurry down the tree, I remember my dad saying I remind him of a squirrel, my shortness, my dark skin. And my ablity to climb trees in the blink of an eye. I hit the grassy ground and qucikly duck. I don't want to be seen by a peacekeeper. Thankfully, my skin is the same kind of colour as the dirt. So I blend in perfectly. I crawl along the ground to the fence. Then I duck under the planks and onto the cobbles. I stand as fast as I can and run into an alley. I take out an apple that i found in the orchard. I nibble at it lightly, it tastes amazing. I bite a huge chunk and I feel the feeling of fullness begin. I quickly get up and run to the square. Its reaping day and Seeder, our rep is onstage. She is picking out a name so I quickly make my way into the crowd.
"The female tribute is... Mia Luke." Oh really, i should of just stayed in that alley, but noooo, I had to come here and doom myself to death. I walk onto the stage, trying to keep a brave face but its crumbiling. I can't do this. I can't
District 12
Ethan's POV
My neck feels like it could snap, sleeping in the street really messes up your back. I slowly get up and the pain hits me, the whip lashes on my back still ache. I don't want to think about it so I push it out of my head. I walk out of the alley and the street is packed. Its reaping day, crap. I walk to the square slowly. I don't really feel like seeing two people being chosen to die. Our reapings have been painful since Katniss and Peeta's time. They shamed us all, making us put our lives on the line, for them to be killed and leave us in the ashes. I could scream. I walk into the crowds and the escort Debbie Rye heads onto the stage.
"You know, I think we all wanna get this over with so the female is... Yasmin Haken and the male is... Ethan Stone." she says. The female I don't know but the male is... me. Oh no. I walk onto the stage. I don't want to die. I want to live, I want to be able to get married and have kids and a job and everything. Not be killed while i am a teenager.
Yasmin's POV
"No more!" I scream as the cane comes down on my back. "Please!" It strikes again. I scream in pain, a red welt begins to swell up and the pain almost sends me over the edge, I look up and I see my dad towering over me. He smacks the cane of my leg and throws it away. He grabs me by the scruff of the ear. And throws me out the back door. I manage to get behind the shed before the tears flood my eyes. The hot liquid blinds me and my cheeks go red. I lose it, I slam my head into the shed, again and again. My head rattles, it hurts really badly. Finally I manage to get up and over the fence. I quickly run to the square and I see Debbie Rye, our rep, preparing for the reaping. I feel the wad of cash in my pocket as I walk towards her.
"I'll give you 500 if you call my name at the reaping." I say to her, she looks shocked. Its new that someone from 12 wants to be in the games. I toss her the cash and leave. Next thing I know, I'm on the stage, pretending to be sad I've been picked. When actually I'm smiling. I want away from my Dad, and my unhelpful Mum. I want to die, I'm ready to die.
Chariot Rides
District 1 (Emily's POV)
Our Chariot leaves first, the bright lights and screams dazzle us both, as we are first out, they are all screaming our names, our first names. This dress itches like hell but it looks amazing. The crowd love us. I see Ore throwing a rose to the crowd, I am not letting him get all the attention. I blow kisses to the crowd and they cheer, but I have a feeling its not for us
District 2 (Matt's POV)
I smile as our Chariot leaves the station, Thalia's looks beautiful, the way the dress fits round her, she's perfect. i've tried to work up the nerve to talk to her for years. And I've always been too nervous, I see the District 1 tributes throwing roses and blowing kisses at the audience. But I have a plan that will blow them out of the water. I lean over to Thalia and kiss her. She tenses but then relaxes and kisses back. Warmth shoots through me and I don't if you can smile while kissing. But if there is, I did it.
District 3 (Michelle's POV)
No one can deny that Tim and I look beyond amazing in our outfits, but the District 1 Tributes blowing kisses and throwing roses and the District 2 tributes snogging, kind of puts us in the background, a few have eyes on us but most are looking at them. No way, they may be careers, but we are getting some attention.
"Tim, throw our glowsticks at the crowd." I whisper, he nods and we both do so. People on both sides are desparetly trying to catch a stick. We are no longer wallpaper, we are in the centre of attention. And we are dazziling.
District 4 (Derek's POV)
Zara and I are in the Chariot and coming out of the tunnel, the bright lights and screaming greet us. We smile and wave, but it's obvious we aren't the favourites, the D1's are throwing roses and kisses, The D2's are snogging and the D3's are throwing parts of their crown to the crowd. Luckily, my amazing abs and Zara's good figure have got us attention, not lots, but some.
District 5 (Nina's POV)
I grip James' hand as we leave the tunnel, our outfit is dazziling and its getting us attention, the Oooo's and Ahhhh's all seem to be directed at us. James looks at me and I look at him. We are together, strong, siblings. Enter as one, leave as one. We will keep our dignity and we will not become monsters like most of these people will.
District 6 (Norman's POV)
This outfit is itchy, but that is easily forgotten as Lynnie climbs onto the back of my bike. Oh god, she is hot! I pull down my helmet and rev the engine, which moves the horses forward. For once, we don't look stupid and we get some attention. I throw my helmet and everyone sees us. Lynnie sexily drapes herself over me, like a biker angel. She has her hands around my neck and I can't help but smile.
District 7 (Aurora's POV)
I sure hope this leaf dress doesn't look as crazy to the audience as it does to me. I look at Sam, calm confident. He's got this in the bag. We leave the station and for once we hold people's attention, and that probably has something to do with the fact we are not trees. We manage to keep their eyes on us for a decent ammount of time. The fact we aren't trees has captivated them. We are dazziling, Sam and I wave and people shower us with compliments and kisses.
District 8 (Leo's POV)
No one looks at us, the entire ride. We just stand there. I am fuming, we are being sent to slaughter for their entertainment and they can't even look at us. I begin to wave at the audience and some people notice me, but not many.
District 9 (Daniella's POV)
This outfit is comfortable and simple, finally, something that looks good and feels good, however, most people are engrossed with others to even look at us. Some enjoy our outfit, but most are staring at others.
District 10 (Christian's POV)
This outfit is what we usually wear at the chariot rides, not exactly riveting. But enough to get us a few looks, although most are of disgust. Oh well, I never stood a chance anyway.
District 11 (Mia's POV)
I love this outfit, well, I don't but the Capital do, we seem to be one of the few being seen, the glitter catches everyones attention, and they don't look away. I look up and Randy and give him a big hug, I can hear the Capital's aww's and sobs. Ugh, what I will do to look good.
District 12 (Ethan's POV)
This is the best outfit 12's got since Cinna, we catch everyone's attention. The flames on my suit and Yasmin's dress catch everyone's eyes, I almost gasp with happiness, finally, someone has not brought shame to 12 with their outfits. Finally!

Private Training
District 1
Ore's POV
I walk into the centre. The gamemakers are the most focused at the moment because I'm first, so I need to really show off. I stand in front of them and announce my name
"Ore Cole." I yell. I sprint over to the agility course. I literally fly over it, I get up the twisting net with ease and across the monkey bars without breaking a sweat. I drop down and grab a sword, I stab a dummy and it "kills" three dummies, the sword going through each. I turn and decapitate the last one. Finally, I head over to the Plant test machine, and I finish in under 30 seconds, I throw my sword at the wall and it sticks inbetween to planks of wood.
Emily's POV
I sprint into the centre, i do a series of acrobatics; flips, cartwheels and walkovers, until I reach the archery station, I grab a bow and run back to collect some arrows, I start to race towards the target, I send my first arrow into the bullseye, the second arrow slices the first in half and the third splits that one in half, I turn and shoot an arrow at the climbing net. It rips through the loops at the top and the net collpases. I shoot some more arrows at random things until the Gamemakers say I can go and I leave, proud.
District 2
Matt's POV
I run into the centre and grab some knives, I throw them at the dummies and get each of them in the chest. Then I do some hand-to-hand combat with a assistant, I manage to keep this guy on the floor for a long time, then I go over to the achery section and fire some arrows, each hitting a bullseye, then I fire at the silohettes, even better than the targets. I leave silently, and throw my last knife at the drinks, it smashes one of the glasses and sticks to the table. I smile and walk out.
Thalia's POV
I sneak silently into the centre, the gamemakers don't notice me, I grab a knife while they look the other way. As I line up the shot, the gamemakers begin to get mad at my dissaperance. That's when i throw the knife, it severs a rope and the ariel archery target plummets to the ground, I dive out of my crawlspace and grab a bow shooting arrows randomly, each hitting something better than the last. The centre is in ruins by the time i'm done. I curtsy and leave.
District 3
Tim's POV
I walk into the centre, I grab a bow and start firing some arrows. All are quite good, then i head over to the edible plants station and make a 3 course meal out of edible berries. I don't really know what else to do, so i just climb things and throw stuff about until they say I can leave.
Michelle's POV
I run in and grab an axe. I pace back and throw it, it nails a dummy in the chest, i grab a few more axes and throw them, each hitting a dummy in a critical spot. Then I head over to a electronic station and electrify a snare, which kills a dummy rabbit by stopping its heart with electric current. I leave silently
District 4
Derek's POV
Not really sure what to do, i run in and grab a spear, I throw it and it goes through the dummy's neck. Right choice. I grab a trident and throw it and throw it, killing countless dummies. Then I grab some throwing knives. I throw them with precision. Each hitting the chest, head or crotch. I throw my final spear and it sticks the dummy to the wall, by its head.
Zara's POV
I think of my training at home as I run in, my throwing knives find each dummy's head, I run at one not killed and backflip off it and throw a knife mid air, it slams the dummy's head off and pins it to the floor. I run to the pool and set a underwater snare, which catches a fish in minutes. I walk out, pleased.
District 5
James's POV
I grab a spear and think a minute ahead to see the gamemaker's facial expressions. Shocked. Sounds good. But the stabbing pain in my chest acts up as I throw the spear. It goes awry and finds an Avox's chest. Oh crap. I bite my bottom lip and try to ignore the body slumped on the ground as I leave the training centre.
Nina's POV
I grab my whip and smack it off the body of a dummy, i can see the mark it left, ouch. I smack it off some more things, destroying everything. Then I get a knife and fight a dummy. Cutting of all four limbs, before driving it through its heart. I feel pleased as I leave the centre.
District 6
Norman's POV
I grab a sword and slice a dummy to peices, savvouring each cut. Then I grab a rope and tie it round a dummy's neck. I throw the rope up and catch it on the other side of the beam, I jump and pull, The dummy weighs around the same as a average person. And its heavy, but it stays off the ground, until i let it drop, smashing into the ground.
Lynnie's POV
I grab a knife and fight with it. Managing to chop of lots of limbs and fingers before throwing it and it skewers a dummy rabbit in the eye. I begin to walk out, but first I grab a knife and throw it at the Gamemakers food, It hits a chicken in the centre at splits it in half
District 7
Sam's POV
I grab my axes and throw them, thinking of my training. Each hitting a dummy in the chest or head. Then I try my knives and throw them with an amazing aim. Each finds a chest or head. I go back to my axes and throw them at the wall, it spins slightly and cuts a wire holding up a light, it severs it from the celing and it collapses at my feet. I smile like it was intentional, and then I leave.
Aurora's POV
I sprint in and grab my blowgun, each dart finds a dummy's neck. They all crumple to the ground. I drop the blow gun and head over to the agility course, which i get over easily get over. Finally I head over to the general knowledge tester, I pull out a 189, amazing, for someone my age. I leave silently making sure to fire a dart at a target. I know by the gasps that hit the bullseye.
District 8
Leo's POV
I try to pick up a sword, but its heavier than I expected. I fight with it, I do okay but not excellent. Then I grab at the climbing wall and speed up it with ease. Although i put a foot wrong and I clatter to the floor. I feel so embarrased that I just leave
Luna's POV
I attempt a Johanna Mason. I just walk in, grab a blowgun and fire as bad as I can, each shot misses. Then I begin to cry, I just can't do it. I walk out sobbing. I think I pulled it off, I hope

I don't really have any skills to show off in the centre, so I talk about home, and practise for the Interview. Oh well, I wasn't going to win anyway

The Hunger Games
Day 1-Bloodbath
The Tributes are in the Arena, all standing on their plates. The Cornucopia is a huge Castle, complete with 4 towers and a Grand Hall. To the left is a hege maze, with only one entrance in sight, on the right is a crystal blue waterfall, surrounded with shrubs and plants. Behind the Cornucopia is a forest, dense and dark. Not much can be seen from outside it. Behind the Tributes there is an abandoned City, full of stores and houses to hide in. All the tributes are ready to go, most planning to kill.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Ladies and Gentlemen, let the 103rd Hunger Games, BEGIN!
Kayleen Quaid POV
The gong sounds and I am the first off the metal plates, my speed is really coming in handy. Maybe it can help me get something and get out of there. I sprint straight for the cornucopia, not bothering to check behind me, just fixiating on the Castle and the things inside it. I reach the drawbridge just as Thalia (2) does, I try to pull down the drawbridge, my arms strain and Thalia (2) runs up behind me. She shoves me hard, I flail hopelessly and I fall into the moat. In with the crocodile mutts. I try to swim away, but I can't swim. The crocodile comes closer. It opens its jaw and clamps it down on me... the world goes hazy snd red. It snaps down again. Then everything turns black. BOOM!!
Thalia Combe POV
Kayleen (10) was a weakling, an easy kill. I finish pulling down the drawbridge, the rest of the Careers join me and the bridge breaks free, it collapses to the ground and we stampede over it. I see the huge pile of weapons and supplies, I smile and dart to the pile, I grab a evil looking knife from the pile, I see Michelle (3) and throw the knife at her. It files right past her shoulder, F***, missed. I grab a few more knives and begin to fight some more tributes.
Zara Lancaster POV
I run to the pile of supplies in the middle of the room, first thing I grab is a sword, I look it over. Slight, light and sharp. I hear someone behind me and I spin round and see Norman (6), ha, easy kill. I plunge the sword straight through his chest. He gasps and spasms, once, twice. He coughs blood and I pull the sword out and stab it back into his stomach. He collpases on my sword, I pull it out and he falls to the ground, dead. BOOM!!
Luna Snare's POV
I sprint for my godamn life, past several tributes locked in battle. I grab a pack and a blowgun, a knife as well. I run straight to the trees. The green and brown blurs as I sprint through the greenery. I see a path and quickly run towards it, I see soomething dash by me and I hide behind a tree. Which I then scale and set up my things in. Thank god, I huddle up in the tree and begin to relax. When something silver brushes past my face...
Leo Milan POV
I dosed off when the gong rang, so I'm one of the last to the Cornucopia. I walk through the arch and hide behind a pillar. Luckily, most of the Tributes are either dead or picking off one and other. I sneak over to the pile of weapons and try to grab a knife, but Emily (1) grabs me from behind.
Emily Hatches POV
I've got Leo (8) by the hair, he's crying. Begging for me not to kill him, pathetic. I quickly drag my kife across Leo's neck. He gurgles and coughs, blood spurting from his neck. His hands fly to the slice on his throat and the blood flies out between his fingers, he collapses to the ground and spasms, rocking back and forth, then he goes still. BOOM!!
Ore "Snake" Cole POV
We are all in the Cornucopia, us Careers, picking our favourite weapons from the pile. That James (5) and his sister Nina (5) run past us, Matt tries to throw a knife at them but I stop him, they won't last long anyway. they get killed sooner or later, maybe we'll get them in the hunt.
Ashley Barnston POV
I decide my best chance is to get out of here before i get killed, I see a bright green pack lying amongst the grass and weeds, I sprint towards the long grasses to grab the pack. Sam (7) is behind me. He lifts his axe and...
Sam Mason POV
The axe leaves my hands and spins mid air, it slams into Ashley (9) back, it hits him right in the back and he collapes on the ground. He spasms and then goes deathly still. BOOM!!
Mia Luke POV
I sprint straight to the trees, Randy is inches behind me. Please don't kill me, please.
"Alliance." he yells, thank god. I'm not going to die, at least not now anyway. I nod and he turns and runs back to the Cornucopia. What the hell is he doing, I keep running and running, until I find a large tree, I quickly scale it and hide on a branch. I stay there, terrified of predators, for about an hour. Then I see Randy run through the trees.
"Mia." he hisses. I whistle and he sees me, he quickly throws up two backpacks and a few weapons, which I put in my jacket pocket. I huddle up next to Randy, he's really warm and fuzzy. He's really nice.
Yasmin Haken POV
I run across the grass and grab a bow and quickly fire an Arrow at the nearest tribute, which happens to be Ethan (12) as he runs towards me to form an Alliance. It catches him in the chest and he collapses. I run to him, he smiles weakly and closes his eyes. BOOM!! Oh god, oh god. I collapse to my knees and cry. S***. I killed Ethan, ETHAN. I drop my bow and sadly run away, desparetly trying to wipe my eyes dry.
Lynette Handsows POV
S***, Norman is dead, I see Daniella (9) run past me, the boy from her district is dead too. This could be my last chance at getting an Alliance, I run with her, matching her pace. She asks for an alliance and I agree hurridly. We sprint straight into the city and run into a coffee shop. We duck under a table and begin to share out our supplies.

They have contol of the Cornucopia and have set set up camp in the Grand Hall, none of them are injured and they have most of the supplies

James used his power to find a place in the cornucopia that is safe from the Careers, he saw a clear tower, with nothing but a suit of armour and a ledge. He ran to it with Nina following, they have a sword, spear and a loaf of bread
Lynnie and Dani
Lynnie and Dani are allied and hiding in a coffee shop in the city. They have a medium pack and a blowgun, with darts.

Night has Fallen
James' POV
Something has felt off all night, Nina is asleep beside me. But something is keeping me awake. I look down and... wasn't that suit of armour on the other wall. I see the armour move again and instantly draw my weapon and rouse Nina. The Armour moves in front of us, It opens its helmet hatch and two red dots begin to get bigger. I feel gravity pull me towards the suit. S*** its a mutt. I stand up and the pull gets tighter, my feet stop working. Nina screams as I brought of my feet. I grab the ledge as the two red dots try to drag me in. It begins to pull Nina too, but doesn't loosen on me. I look into the future and I see... nothing, just blackness. I feel the throbbing in my fingertips and i whisper to Nina
"I love you."
The pull becomes too great and my fingers fly from the ledge, the armour pulls me towards it, as I reach it, in one almost merciful movement, I slices my head from my body. BOOM!!
Michelle's POV
We all climb into the bushes, using the packs as pillows. Its really uncomfortable. Luckily, it manages to keep us concealed, the anthem begins to ring out. The faces appear, Norman (6), Leo (8), Ashley (9), Kayleen (10) and Ethan (12). BOOM!! Another face appears, James (5), well that means his sister is next. I'm one step closer to home, so you won't find me conplaining

Day 2-The Secrets we Keep
Aurora's POV
We slept in the bushes last night, I'm awake though, with nothing to do. So I grab a knife and start to explore the waterfall, the crystal blue water falls so uniform, its hard to believe that is not real. I go in for a swim and my arm instantly feels better, the water is magical. It can heal wounds, that's one thing I've found. Slowly I begin to climb the waterfall, I see a concealed path, its almost as if its meant to be there, I quietly climb, taking care to watch for mutts. I get closer to the falls and realise, there is something behind it. I close my eyes and stick my head through the water. I open my eyes, its a hollow cave. Oh my, yes. A hollow cave to hide in. I'll tell the others about this in the morning. Thank goodness, a place to hide, without being in amongst weeds.
Mia's POV
A parachute hits my head and wakes me up, I open it and it has a note, share with Randy-Lauren. No idea who Lauren is but OK, I tuck the water into my jacket and place the knife in a pack. I huddle up in the tree and fall asleep again. Warm, safe and cosy.
Thalia's POV
We are all awake and hunting, we decide to go to the forest, best place for it, something whizzes by me and a posion dart missses me by inches. I turn and see something red run into the forest. Luna (8), that is who it is. She is dead meat.
Luna's POV
S***, missed. I turn and sprint and manage to make it to the trees before they spot me, my hair isn't helping. I don't stop until I get to my tree.
Ore's POV
I lead the hunt, we head into the trees, hoping to find someone, the others go left while I go right, alone. Suddenly, I see Yasmin (12) lying on the ground, sobbing. It pains me to see her like that, its because she killed the boy from her District by accident, I grab my sword and put her out of her misery, and at the last moment. I think she thanked me. My sword goes right into her chest, she spasms and goes still. BOOM!!
Sam's POV
Aurora wakes me, she tells me there's something she needs to show me. She drags me up to a cave behind the waterfall. Quickly, I drag the others and our stuff into the cave, where we huddle. Safe. I can see through the water, but they can't see us. This is the place where we will be safe.
Derek's POV
Our search didn't bring us to anyone, only one person was killed by Snake. Ugh, I want rid of him!!
Tim's POV
I have an idea of how to take back the Cornucopia, and get more things. But I'm not saying anything till tommorow
Night has Fallen
Nina's POV
So... Hungry, So tired, can't hold on any longer. My fingers slip from the ledge and I tumble towards the armour. This may sound weird, but I want to die. I'll be with my brother... again. The mutt rips my head from its shoulders. BOOM!!

Day 3-The Fight of their Lives
Tim's POV
"Are you crazy." says Sam, "We can't take the Careers." he shakes his head, but we can do it, we can. I've got it all planned out. We will kill, viciously. We will. I stand up and take an axe and sword. I look outside the waterfall, no one is in sight, at all.
Christian's POV
I trace my steps back. NO, this is the wrong way, no this isn't right. S***, I can't do this, I clutch my head and collapse to the ground, I lost my map to a mutt yesterday, I have no idea where I'm going. Righ or Left, right or left. Left. I turn to the left and go down the isle. A wold mutt jumps out of the hedge. Oh god, I turn and sprint. I drop my backpack and run and run. I turn right, left, left, right. The wolf claws at my backk and it draws blood. I trip and land on my back. I hope the end will come quick. The wolf clamps its teeth down on my chest and I let out an earsplitting scream. BOOM!!
Daniella's POV
I scream and sprint. Luna (8) is meters behind me, where the f*** is Lynnie. That B*tch, traitor. She sends another poison dart my way, it hits me in the arm and I feel my heart shudder. My legs start to spasm and I collapse to the ground. Luna catches up easy as I desparetly try to crawl away. Luna climbs on top of me and pulls out a knife.
"Such a pretty girl." she laughs. She drives the knife straight into my forehead, my eyes bulge and I go still. BOOM!!
Matt's POV
Jesus, two cannons, before we have even started hunting, seems like there is no point then. I sit around the fire, and I see Thalia gaze at me. She coughs and I grab her arm. She coughs harder and i hit her on her back. Her coughing ceases. She looks at me and leans in. Her lips touch mine and I pull her close, i kiss her and kiss her. He hair falling just the right way.
Emily's POV
Ugh, lovebirds, It makes me miss Emerald. The way he careesed my face, tickled my tummy. The way he kissed me, the same way as Matt is doing to Thalia
Gamemaker's Edit
Thalia has unknowingly passed her poision onto Matt by kissing him, they now both need medicine
Ore's POV
I hate these games, If I was from any another district, I would have killed all these b*tches in their sleep. But no, I need to ally with these people until others kill them, it drives me insane, and Matt snogging Thalia isn't helping. AHHH, I could scream.
Night has Fallen
Aurora's POV
I think Tim is right, we can do this, I take Sam aside to speak to him. I tell him that he needs to trust Tim. We can kill them, kill them all. Even if he doesn't do it, I will, I will kill those son of a b*tches. One by one. They are all horrible people, killing for sport.
Sam's POV
Auror's talked me into it, I will launch the attack, I stick my head out of the water, Matt (2) is sitting by the fire and talking to the others, he's first. We'll start tonight. I grab an axe. I line up my shot, Matt is directly in front of me, I think of Mum's training. Hold it straight, release at an angle. I hold it back, I bring it forward and let go of the axe at exactly 90 degrees. It dissapears through the water, I wait a second and from the screams, I know my axe has made its mark, we sprint out of the cave and towards the cornucopia, weapons drawn
Derek's POV
Matt laughs as we tell jokes around the fire, we are all relaxed, for once. I see the glint of a blade and I call out.
"Watch out!" I scream, The axe hits Matt square in the chest, he is thrown off his feet and is sent crashing to the ground, The axe in his chest could only come from one person. Sam. He lies still, very still. We grab our weapons and run towards the tributes coming out of the bushes, it's too late for Matt. BOOM!!

Thalia's POV
This is some scary S***, everyone is screaming and there is three bodies on the ground. I'm fighting Michelle (3) with my knife, my knfe hits her shoulder and she screams, she hits me with her knife, it only grazes my chest but it freaking hurts.
Ore's POV
Aurora (7) stabs me in the leg, I hit the deck and I thrust my sword into her leg. She stumbles backwards, but she gets up again. She grabs a sword and runs over to me, she raises the blade and swipes it across my neck, my head spins from its shoulder. BOOM!!
Sam's POV
I turn and run, I shout for the others to follow, Tim runs to my left, Aurora to the right. We sprint as hard as we can until we reach our waterfall. Wait, something is missing. MICHELLE! A earsplitting scream rings out and we run out of our Cave, just to see Michelle lying on the ground
Michelle's POV
Zara (4) grabs me by the hair and lifts me up, she holds her knife to my throat, she looks into my eyes, all I can see is a dark void, no emotion. She drags the knife across my neck, I cough and splutter. I fall to the ground, blood spurting from my neck, I hear Aurora shout. But its too late, I'm dead and they know it. My head sprawls back at an impossible angle, my body contorts into a weird shape, and then I go still. BOOM!!
Zara's POV
I step back, and take in the damage. Ore (1) is missing his head and has been stabbed multiple times. Emily (1) has a knife in her throat. Matt (2) has an axe in his chest and Derek (4) also has an axe in his chest. Then I see Thalia walk towards Michelle (3) mangled body. 5 deaths, 3 minutes. Unbefrickenleivable. A parachute flies in for Thalia, she opens it. She has a pack of knives and a antidote to poision. She downs the antidote, remebering the dart she breathed the poision from. Thalia is distraught. Matt is dead, her boyfriend is gone. She bawls for blood and revenge. I try to hold it in but I lose it and the tears flood from my eyes. I hug Thalia and she cries into my shoulder.
Night has Fallen
Tim's POV
We have been sitting and crying all day, mourning Michelle, how we forgot about her, we left her as we tried to save ourselfs, how can we be forgiven. I knew Michelle from school. She was an amazing person, super smart. Super nice. I can't beleive she's gone. Aurora, Sam and I huddle together. Trying to stifle the worst of the tears
Randy's POV
Mia and I have done nothing but sit in this tree all day, from the cannons I'm asumming that the Capital is sated, but sooner or later, they are gonna try and get us moving. I just hope they give us tonight. Please, give us tonight.

Day 5-The Aftermath
Mia's POV
Randy and I had a sleepless night last night, all the cannons, and then all the Career's faces in the sky. We both are terrified that the people that killed them are coming for us, Randy and I haven't left this tree since the games began, we are nearly out of food and water.
Luna's POV
I'm tracking the 11's and its easier than I thought, they've bben in the same tree since the games began so finding them is easy. I scale a tree and pull my hair back so it isn't as noticeable. I walk onto a slim branch and squat, Mia and Randy (11) are sitting in a sleeping bag in the tree. I look in my pack and I see a throwing knife, begging me to use it, I silently grab it and aim it, but suddenly Mia (11) moves, Randy leans over her, just as my knife leaves my hand. It flies through the greenery and hits Randy in the head, He gurgles and slumps over. BOOM!! Mia reacts instantly and grabs a knife. S***, s***. I try to run but remember that I'm in a tree, so I can't. In the split second that I'm not moving, she throws the knife, I feel a sharp pain in my back and look down, a blade is sticking out of my chest, the blood is gushing from the wound, everything is so cold. I look up, but the darkness swallows me, and I hear the distant sound of a cannon. BOOM!!
Lynnie's POV
Two cannons, two. I know they are after me, the careers. I am hiding under a coffee table, my breathing is shaky and I feel lightheaded, I haven't drinken or eaten in days. Each breath sends a pain through my temple, my legs shake. I climb out of from under the table, I feel terrible, and weak. I stumble out of the coffee shop, everything is spinning. My feet let themselves down and I collapse, my vision is fuzzy. Everything flashes, once, twice. Everything goes white. Water, please. I feel the world slip away. BOOM!
Night Has Fallen
Mia's POV
I walk through the forest, to the cornucopia, where I know my foes will be waiting. I don't want to win, or rather, I can't. Thalia sees me, I keep walking, Zara looks at me in confusion, Thalia says something, before drawing a knife. I keep walking, looking but not seeing. I'm feet away from Thalia, she rasies he knife, I keep walking. She plunges the knife down and I feel a sharp pop in my head. BOOM!

Sam's POV
The final 5, woohoo. I might actually have a chance of winning this thing. If I don't die of starvation first. We decide that we need to hunt, so we do. We leave the cave, possibly for the last time, dead or alive, we won't see it again. Tim goes first, but the careers were watching us, Zara sends an Arrow into Tim's temple and he collapses at my feet. BOOM!! S***, Aurora throws her knife and I fling my axe, both hit Zara in the chest, she falls to the ground and starts shaking, Thalia runs over, trying to help her, but its futile, Zara is dead. BOOM!!
Thalia's POV
Those little b*tches killed Zara, I run towards them, knife drawn. I stomp towards them, I'm the last Career standing, I could win this, I could. I throw the knife, it hits Sam in the chest and he crumples, no cannon though. His stupid accomplice, Aurora (7) runs at me, she claws at my face, that little b*tch, I turn to stab her but I feel a weird pain in my chest. I look down, Aurora's sword is up to the hilt in my chest. I fall to my knees, breathing heavy. My eyelids flutter as Aurora raises her sword.
"This is for Sam." she yells, she brings the sword crashing down onto my head. My head explodes in pain and everything goes black. BOOM!!
Aurora's POV
Thalia is dead, no denying that, I run over to Sam, he's breathing hard and the knife is sticking out of his abdomen. I grab his hand, stay with me, stay with me. He caresses my cheek.
"Tell... my... mum... I-i... t-tried." he croaks, he opens his mouth to say something to me, before the darkness pulls him under. No, no, Sam. I grab his corpse and hold it close as the trumpets play.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you, the winner of the 103rd Hunger Games, Aurora Wilde
Aurora's POV
I'm pulled into the hovercraft, I can't stop thinking of Sam, curled up, vunerable, dead. I won't let his death be for nothing, no. I will avenge him. I will.

Tim - I'm hoping to run HUFF. Scheduling issues. You know it's a new course this year?
Yes, I read that....I will leave earlier for the race this time - I started about 20 minutes late last year.
Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
Ostrich runner
How did this go?
How did this go?
It just went ok for me. I came down with a cold a week before the Indy marathon Saturday, and I knew I wasn't really over it....but pretended I was- LOL. After mile one I felt super tired and my legs had nothing - very heavy and sluggish. Boy....now THAT made for a long day !
4:03 - which I guess I have to be happy with. I was at 1:48 at the 1/2 which I planned on, but that's when I got sick and was in a porta potty for around 12 to 13 minutes. Frustrating letting time just slip away, but I had no choice. I didn't know this beforehand, but this was a hilly marathon - more so than I heard of. Oh.....and the winds were relentless too at times.
Other than that.....a great marathon. Now to recover, and have a better result in 3 weeks, at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon :-)

Winn-Dixie Wants Customers for 'Beef People' Ads
Contest winners to be faces of local campaign
Winn-Dixie is seeking beef-loving customers to enter its "I'm Beef People" online contest for a chance to appear in a future advertising circular or on an outdoor billboard. The social media initiative backs the Jacksonville, Fla.-based grocer's new ad campaign and recent rollout of WD Brand Choice Angus Beef to all of its stores.
"Our customers are passionate about beef – which cuts they select, what marinades or rubs they use, and how they prepare it," noted Mary Kellmanson, Winn-Dixie's SVP of marketing. "They are the true 'Beef People,' and we want to feature them combining our beef with their local flavor to make it just right."
To enter, consumers go online to print out the "I'm Beef People" sign. They then take a picture or create a 15-second video holding the sign while explaining what makes them "Beef People" (as seen above). Via Twitter or Instagram, customers post the photo or video with the hashtags #ImBeefPeople and #(customer city). The picture or video may appear on Winn-Dixie's website for judging and a chance to star in an upcoming "Beef People" ad.
The contest runs through Sept. 30, and winners will be notified around two weeks after the entry deadline, about Oct. 14, through the social media channel by which they submitted their entry. A panel of Winn-Dixie "Beef People" will choose one winner in seven regions: Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa/St. Pete, Orlando, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Mobile and Birmingham. Throughout the promotion, Winn-Dixie will post qualifying entries on its site.
Winn-Dixie, a subsidiary of Bi-Lo Holdings, employs nearly 40,000 associates in 479 grocery stores and 368 in-store pharmacies throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
