The 150th Hunger Games

Hi! I’m ConspiracyKiller825, with my fourth Hunger Games! I loved writing my last few Hunger Games and have really recently missed it, so I thought that I'd give it another go! These games aren't related to any of my previous games, and shall be more of a special 'twisty' sort of games, so to speak, as i'm sure you noticed from the title, it's a Quarter Quell. These games could be a one off, but if you all really enjoy them, I could write another one. I have also taken on the challenge of having four Tributes per District within these games, so please, enter these games and fill up the spots! I really can’t wait to start writing this, so the quicker the better if possible! And once again; Happy Hunger Games, and May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favour!

Tributes

 * Within these games, there will be Four Tributes, Two Males And Two Females, Reaped From Every District From The Capitol To District 13. This was paying homage to the 50th Hunger Games where there were also Four Tributes Reaped From Districts 1 To 12. It was also to give the game's creator and writer, ConspiracyKiller825, a challenge and something different to have to deal with, having so many extra Tributes.

 * To Be Revealed When The Games Begin

Erron Braddockk (11)
I awake. This is actually it. This is where the mind games, judgements and alliances are all beginning to come into play. This, is the real beginning of the Hunger Games. This was the chance to increase my odds of winning these games and walking out in my Victor's crown. This was the chance to start working for the fame and money, I knew it wouldn't come easy, and to me that made it even more desirable. Although with the Quarter Quell occurring this year, of all years that it could've, my odds aren't in the best place right now. Double the tributes are already existing, meaning not only do I have more people that I have to go through to Victory, but also more people to compete against for sponsors and the early fame of the citizens of Panem wanting me as their 150th Hunger Games Victor. I suddenly hear another knock on my door, basically demanding that I have to be at breakfast. I hated the fact that I had to sit with people who I didn't know and didn't like, and discuss some of my game plans to them. It was ridiculous. I'm eventually going to have to cut them down, so I can achieve my victory. I don't need a little slight bit of emotion remembering all of those fun times we had at breakfast. For God sake let's just get what we came here for done. But anyway, I headed to breakfast, sort of unwillingly. I was the last one to arrive to the table, and it seemed that everyone had already been digging into the food. Which I knew was stupid, because changing from the food that I have in my regular diet would just make me feel sick in the games. So I was sticking to my District's staples for breakfast. Ironically though, it seemed that my District partners had the same idea as me when it came to keeping our thoughts and strategies about the games private. Whenever our Mentors or anyone would ask anything, we'd all just avoid the question or ignore it entirely. Though stupidly for me, that made me like them for a split second. But finally it was time to hit the Training Centre for our first day. I knew that i'd be working hard on my speed, especially with my Swords, and gaining some experience in long-ranged weapons like a Spear, just in case that's all I can get my hands on. Those were the two main points that needed to be improved and perfected, and I wasn't going to waste any time on anything else. When it came to alliances, no matter what offer anybody put on the table for me, I was going it solo. And if turning down an alliance puts a target on y back, so what? They'd better bring their -A game, because I sure as hell am.

Caitlin Shadow (13)
I sighed in relief as I stepped onto the elevator. The first day of training was completed, and soon the second day would soon begin. I spent most of my day at the survival stations, working on some skills that i hope will become life saving. I also spent some time working on my Axe skills as well. I knew that that was how most of my days were going to be panning out, since learning any other weapons would take up too much of my time. I also had the plan just to be by myself and not to attract any attention, which wasn't hard since so many others were. I mean my Diary would be going crazy over everything that was happening, there was so much to keep tabs on. I walked into the penthouse, A.K.A the District 13 level of the training centre. I saw some people around, even some of my District partners, but i wasn't the slightest bit interested in talking to anyone. I saw my Mentor sought of walk towards me, though again, I just completely ignored him and kept walking towards my room. I didn't need his help or advice, let him worry about the others, because I've got myself under control. I walked into my room and almost just collapsed onto the bed. It had been a long day, but like I said, full of eventful occurrences. The alliance game has already gone crazy, with double the tributes this year, alliances are just trying to snap tributes up like vultures. Because everybody wants to have and be in the most powerful alliance. I've gotten some offers from some, but there was no way in hell that I was being snapped up. I was my own person, with my own game plan. I wasn't sharing that with anyone just because I had an alliance with them. Something big that has also contributed to the alliance craziness is that there appears to be actual families, brothers and sisters, in these games who have been reaped. My District partner Luigi has fallen victim to that with his brother Mario. The cousins Sharlett and Harvey Free in District 4 are also in that boat. Plus, I think I heard the names of about three Waterborne's when the recap of the reapings was on. Damn this is all to good to go to waste. I decide that I have to write this down now, hide the pages and collect them at my victory. Then I also have to remember to recap the actual Hunger Games experience in my Diary as well when I go back home. I hope that it only gets juicer from here!

Harry Bell (10)
I stepped off the elevator and headed right over to the trap practicing station. I had very clear instructions and directions that I had to follow. Was that a bad thing? No. This was a good plan, that if everyone could execute correctly, could possibly turn the tables inside the games. Yesterday I had been asked to join the Anti-Careers alliance, and that I were to come into the District 8 level last night if I agreed to join the alliance. I was thrilled, as this was the exact alliance that I wanted to be apart of. Whoever came, came, and we began discussing a plan, in order to try and give us an edge on the competition. Since the alliance game was going crazy out there, we knew that maybe that could be where we could get our edge. We decided to sort of divvy up in groups, tell each other what we wanted to do tomorrow, in my case work on my trap skills, and then today we would just do our thing and have no interaction with one another. This was so the other alliances didn't know how many of us were apart of the Anti-Careers alliance, and that they could either assume that it would be a big or small number, and then when the games rolled around and we came together in the games, hopefully the other alliances would be either thrown off-guard or caught up in trying to figure out who and how many people were in our alliance. I thought that this was a great plan, since it ultimetley allowed me to do my own thing while still being apart of my ideal alliance. Some of the members were also put on the duty of trying to recruit more members since the bigger the better, and seeing how the Career alliance is just growing and growing each day we knew that we could use the extra tributes. I mean it was nuts. Since the Peacekeepers only allow so many tributes at one station, most tributes who aren't in the Career alliance can hardly do any weapons training since the Career alliance is so big and they're filling up all of the weapon stations. Which is why you'll find most of the other alliances working on their survival skills and just hoping that they're A, good enough with one weapon already, and B, that they're newly learnt survival skills will be worth the time spent learning them. I knew that trapping, well I mean how can you go wrong with that? It's basically a weapon in itself and if other people in my alliance can use a weapon, and I can trap tributes for them to knock off, then it truly made sense spending all the time in the world at this station. Although I did know that trapping could only get one so far, so I did realise that tomorrow I would need at least some time to train up with an Axe or a Dagger, preferably. But for now I was just taking one day at a time, inching closer and closer to the games and to my victory. Because I needed it, I wanted it, and I sure as hell was going to work hard to get it.

Carissa Ione (8)
I sat around the massive and luxurious dining table with my fellow District partners and our mentors, stylists, and so forth. The conversation hadn't really gone far, and to be completely honest there wasn't too much to divulge, since although we're District partners we're still all fighting against each other for that one Victorious spot. I was however, constantly thinking in my head, how and when to bring up a certain topic that I really needed to address. My mind just kept saying go for it, though I had some reservations. Because it involved being creating a sort of trust and alliance bond with my other District partners. Which I really wanted to avoid at all costs, however there was no other way than to do what needed to be done. Suddenly the conversation had died down to the sound of people eating. This was it, no going back. I basically almost jumped out of my seat. "Attention, I have a matter of great importance to discuss." I state as if i'm the President, though everybody just looks at me like i'm crazy. "I understand that you three are apart of the Anti-Careers alliance." I say until I was interrupted suddenly. "How would you understand that?" asks Lilah. "I didn't hear specifically what you were all saying last night, but when the lift doors open that many times I know that something is up." I reply to her question. The three sort of just look at each other and roll their eyes. "What is the matter of great importance?" asks Athen. "Well i'm apart of a smaller alliance, and now I don't know how many tributes you have within your Anti-Careers alliance, but our alliance would like to offer you're alliance something." I state proudly. "You want to join us?" asks Adelphus. "No. Today we've been going around to any other small alliance that we could find, and they've all agreed. We've asked all the alliances besides the Career alliance that within the bloodbath and even early within the games, if you we could all refrain from attacking not only each other's alliances but any tributes that are going it alone as well. This is so that every alliance will have a more fair chance against, as i'm sure you've seen the massive Career alliance." I say, sort of lifting a weight off my shoulders, however realising that they could still easily decline. The three sort of look at each other again. "So you want us to sort of ally with all the other alliances against the Career alliance in the bloodbath and early in the games?" asks Lilah. "Yes, that's the simple way to put it." I reply. "That is a very smart idea, it would definitely throw a spanner into the works and not only would it give you all the better chance of sponsors but an easier chance at victor." One of our mentor's states. The three look at each other again and sort of nod to each other. "Well you can tell your alliance that we're in. We'll not kill anyone in the bloodbath that isn't a Career, and if we come across a tribute going it alone, we'll try and get them to join into our alliance." States Athen. "Though we can't promise that for after the bloodbath." Adelphus adds in. "Understood. We thankyou for your cooperation and hope that this will give us all a better chance." I say as my final closing statement. I then, get up and walk away from the dinning room table towards my room. I couldn't wait to tell my alliance the good news. We were in, and those Career tributes were going down.

Sharlett Free (4)
We were all ecstatic when Carissa told us the good news. All the alliances we're in, and we're going to be hopefully taking the Careers down. Well at least that's what the others thought. Overall, I knew, that it was just a deal to save ourselves as we'll run away from the Careers. And to be honest, which alliance does run towards the Careers is absolutely nuts. None of us will stand a chance, so i'm hoping that the Gamemakers might help us out a little bit. If we can make the games boring enough, A.K.A the Careers just dominating, then they'll definitely have to switch it up, those are basically the rules. But anyway, here we were on the third day of training. Soon there could be absolutely no looking back. I was going to have to fight my way to the top. And although it will be challenging, I am ready for the challenge. Well at least I think that's what that quote said anyway. Our alliance were all lining up for our chance to practice at our ideals weapons. Like it has been for the last couple of days, the Careers are just grabbing up all of the available spaces at the weapon stations. I was currently lining up for the chance to work on my Bow And Arrow skills. I saw my Cousin and District Partner within the line in front of me. It was weird and full of emotions seeing him here with me. I mean when his name was reaped, of course I was saddened, but was comforted by the fact that I already had an ally and trustworthy person on my side. Little did I know that Harvey had his own plans. For some reason he's gone in an alliance with two complete strangers. I mean he could have his reasons, but I doubt it. On our trip from District 4 to the Capitol, and even these last few days, he's been avoiding and ignoring me. And because of that, I think that he could already be in game mode, meaning that I was just another person to kill in his eyes, and due to that, I have that little urge to last longer than him and beat him. I know it's not the nicest thing to be thinking but I still can't believe that he turned his back on me like that. Especially knowing this a game of life and death, and lately I've been wondering; will Harvey be the one to end it all for me? Would that be bad? Or would that be relieving? To know that i've given him a better chance of winning? All I know maybe the less to think about it the better, and just hope that the odds are actually in my favour.

Lydia Waterborne (7)
I sat down at the dinner table, sighing, both in relief and in fear. I had gone one step closer to victory, finishing the three days of training. But I had also gone one step closer to the beginning of the games and maybe even my death. Which I never really understood about some tributes. I think that believing that you might and will die, actually helps you to survive. It's like when you're doing something scaring but you don't have any other choice but to do it; you just close your eyes keep saying that you can't do it and eventually you'll of done it. At least that was the outcome I was hoping for. Though with my young age, I knew I was a slight disadvantage compared to others, which contributed to the reason of joining the Careers. Not only does it mean that i'll get to be with my family during this experience, but it'll make my odds better at the end of the day, being in the most powerful alliance. And I was sort of shooting for the angle of being just there, you know? Not fading in the crowd but definitely not standing out either. Then at the end of games, when people believe i'll be an easy kill, i'll just catch them off guard and claim my victory. That is the ideal outcome, as it is for most tributes. It's just about winning, nothing more and nothing less. "Why the hell did the Careers even accept you three?" I suddenly hear Vesper asking. "What?" Brianna replies. "You know? You three, who are from District 7, were accepted into the most powerful and prestiges alliance in the games. How did that happen?" Vesper asks again. "Because we can play on their level. Unlike you." states Jack. "Well Lydia is thirteen and probably is just as good as me." Vesper counters. "Because!" I yell, scaring everyone. It wasn't meant to, I just wanted to throw everyone off guard. "Because, they want to be the most powerful and prestiges alliance in the games. So they're accepting anyone who wants to be with them." I state. Jack and Brianna nod to Vesper with me. "You know once the numbers get low they'll just cut you all off like a wart, right?" asks Vesper. "Not if we do it first." says Brianna. Which honestly took me a little off guard. But, me and Jack just nod to Vesper along with her. "Yeah, we're to cut them down to shreds and then come after you and your useless alliance!" yells Jack. And that's when it hit me, and I think Vesper saw it in my eyes, which I know is what truly shut him up. Vesper just wanted me to break and realise that the Careers weren't for me. Which made me angry, but not as scared as what Jack had just said. Was I ready for this? Was I able to be within the Careers? Could I even do this? I had no idea anymore.

Breccan Gateson (5)
"District 5 Male, Breccan Gateson. Your session is ready to commence." I hear come over the speakers. Finally it was time, for me to truly do what I needed to and what I wanted to. I was sticking to my guns and my plans, no matter what anyone was telling me or advising me to do, I had known what I would do for these few minutes before I was even reaped. I walked into the room, feeling the insecurity of being judged immediately. I don't know how you can really avoid it, there being more than twenty people looking and studying what you're doing and then literally judging you on what you've done. But I instantly put it behind me. Because I was walking into that room with a cool, calm, collected, and level head. I knew that it wasn't me to walk in and go for the biggest weapon and go completely crazy and hardcore. And honestly, doing that, I think, could even end up giving me a seriously bad score, since I wouldn't be that good at it anyway. I stopped in the middle of the room. "Your time begins." I hear. I scoff a little, scoff at how unpersonalised the message was. But again, water under the bridge I think. I walk over, at my own pace, to the already hung up dummies. I take a deep breath, before beginning. I began punching the dummies. I wasn't going fast or with one hundred percent strength, more just showing the different moves that I knew. Though towards the end, I was noticing that even though I wasn't really trying, the dummies were still sort flying around crazy. So with my last punch, I gathered all the breath and energy I could before sticking the dummy right in the face, sending it flying backwards, and having to dodge it as it swung back with such force. I felt a slight bit of pride after that. I than ran over to the fire making station, only due to the fact that time was running out. And actually, the quickest that I ever had, I started a fire. Once it was ready to be left alone. I jumped up and grabbed a paint brush and easel. I quickly painted a basic picture of myself, one that was really basic, but you could still tell that it was me, and ran back over to the fire which was still luckily running. I looked up at the Gamemakers, trying to sort of grab their attention with my eyes. Some looked down, and unfortunately that's all the time I could afford. I dropped the picture of myself into the fire, right as the buzzer sounded. "Thankyou, please exit swiftly." I hear. I walk out in a serious manner, to help portray the fact of what the burning painting was. The fact that, that picture was the old me, and it burning was showing that I am now ready, I have now accepted myself, and I am going to regain my life. I couldn't have been more happier of how my session went down.

Audrey Erosmar (9)
Time was just ticking and ticking away. With double the Tributes, i'm surprised that the Gamemakers didn't have this Private Training process over two days. Everyone knows how bored and annoyed they get that they have to sit there watching this many people. But as long as they don't take that anger out on my training score, I really couldn't care less. But if they do, when I obtain victory, I will hunt them down with no mercy. However, I was hoping the fact that there were still plenty of Careers to do their sessions would maybe liven them up a bit for me. Because, of course we all had strict instructions that we had to go for it and obtain the highest scores possible. Which I support, well slightly. I'm not trying to get the highest score here, but I'm definitely not going anywhere near the lowest score either. "District 9 Female, Audrey Erosmar. Your session is ready to commence." I basically jumped off my chair and sprinted into the room. I didn't waste any time, trying to stall and consider what to do. I was no amateur, and I was ready for this. "Your time begins." I run over to the Bow And Arrow weapon section area. This was going to be my primary focus. I started with basics just for myself to warm up into it. Just shooting at basic targets on the other side of the room, adding to the distance when I felt it was right. Then I moved into the more advanced section, which was running around and hitting popping up targets. Although I don't get perfect bullseyes's on the targets, I feel that i'm doing pretty well. I changed the settings so that I would have to dodge weapons coming at me at the same time. This was where I needed to really go for it. I run around, shooting my best, but more focusing on my agility in dodging. I look up as the round ends. The Gamemakers do not seem impressed. For a second I was stumbled, this was useless. However, something did come to me. It was risky, because if I did fail it, it would completely ruin my score entirely, but if it worked, I would have pretty flash score. It took my second to decide that it was worth the risk. I took my Bow And Arrows with me as I climbed a tall tower in the centre. My plan was to jump off, into a net, while trying to hit two targets on the way down. I reached the top. It was lucky that i wasn't afraid of heights otherwise I would've froze. I quickly looked at the time and noticed that I would only have enough time to make one jump. It had to be basically perfect or everything would go horribly wrong. I noticed that now I truly had the Gamemakers attention. Great I thought, now I definitely couldn't stuff it up. I took a deep breath. I draw my Bow and just jump. For a split second I'm frozen in time and space, just free falling. I draw back and fire my Arrow. And that split second had ruined it all, it hit the target, but not even within the circle at all. I know I only have one chance to save it all. In another split second I load my Bow again, draw back and fire, just before I hit the net. I close my eyes and breath. I look up and see that the Arrow has not hit the Bullseye, but is within the centre circle. I smile as the buzzer sounds. "Thankyou, please exit swiftly." I feel good, and hope for the best as I see some Gamemakers nodding in approval.

Zoey Proasheck (12)
I had sort of just given up on hoping for a good score. I had felt so terribly bored just sitting here for hours and hours, let a lone how the Gamemakers must be feeling. Not only that, but I wasn't even last, there were still others that had to go after me. It was really ridiculous, and just gives the more privileged Districts more privileges. Which was a main reason why I wanted to ally with them. Because then some of those privileges would be allowed to me. But for now, being within individual assessment, I was just going to go in and do my thing. If the Gamemakers watched or cared than they did, if they didn't, then they didn't, it was as simple as that. I wasn't going to get stressed trying to get their attention and approval, since really that's what they should be doing anyway. "District 12 Female, Zoey Proasheck. Your session is ready to commence." I stand and walk through to the room. My plan was just to grab what I had strength and skill in and just basically go crazy and insane with it. "Your time begins." I first of all grabbed an Axe that was close by. I took it to the hung up dummies and just went berserk with it. Ripping those dummies to shreds, showing the Gamemakers not only my skills in an Axe but my basic strength as well. I than walked over to the Throwing Knives station. I started just hitting stand still targets, with increasing distance until I got bored. I than not only increased the level to moving targets but having weapons against me as well. This was to show my skills with Throwing Knives and my general speed and agility. I kept clear of the weapons an did my best to hit the targets. That was the thing I liked about myself. If I missed I brushed it off and kept going. I didn't get all caught up and upset about it. Because I'm so 'Pro-As-Heck' I think to myself laughing. I saw that I had quite some time left in my session. So I decided to go into the simulated surgery and healing section of the centre and show my amazing skills off. This was what I trained at all day everyday. So I knew that I knew what I was doing. And although I didn't care, it did feel good to see the Gamemakers looking at me within the surgery and seeming impressed. I finished the surgery and saw that I'd achieved an almost perfect score from the simulator. I saw that I had a couple of minutes left. I decided to just leave. Although I could've stayed to the end and shown my skills with a Katakana, I thought it best to save something for the games to surprise the Gamemakers and keep them entertained. Plus I thought that I'd left a large enough impression to get a good score. And I was sure that myself and the Careers were going to be happy with it. And although i've told them, when truly see my skills in surgery and healing, I know that i'll be kept around longer than others, since I was valuable and un-replaceable. Just the position that I wanted to be in going into the games.

Torin Fowlere (12)
Here we were. The night before the games finally began. Awaiting for our scores and rankings to be revealed to the nation of Panem. And to really see if we could stand a chance against the other tributes. Though in my Private Training session, I was going with the plan of trying to blend in with the other Tributes and aim for a pretty average score and ranking. Which I knew that other Tributes could've tried as well. Meaning, that overall these reveals didn't change too much. We knew who were the threats and who were the weaklings ruffly. So unless some randoms pull out big numbers, these didn't really do anything. Well at least in my eyes anyway. Suddenly the host; Callum Flickerman popped up onto the screen. He was sitting at his usual desk with his papers. I didn't take any notice of what he looked like or what he was wearing because I was ore interested in looking at the people around me. I had Erraline, Zoey and Konan as my District partners. Who all basically were showing no emotion like myself. There, to us, seemed no point getting worried or excited about these, since they only determined peoples kill list in the terms of their Tribute priorities. I was honestly a little surprised that I was the only one out of the four of us to be taking it alone. The fact that Zoey went with the Careers already seems pretty nuts to me, I don't know why you'd even want to go near them, since you basically work for them or they kill you in an instant. Then you've got Erraline and Konan being apart of the Anti-Careers, which for them, is probably the right choice. I usually don't take sides, but that's the alliance i'm rooting for. Since if they make it to the end with me, it'll be easy to take them down. I suddenly snap out of daydreaming as Callum utters Oreo's name. I missed his beginning speech, but how important could it be? "Oreo Dutton, with a score of 6 and a ranking of 43rd". I was instantly shocked. A score of 6 and a ranking of 43rd? There were 52 Tributes apart of these games, so already i'm assuming that the Gamemakers were either harsh this year or everybody just has no talent. "Coco Chanel, with a score of 8 and a ranking of 20th." There the proof was again. Just an 8 and she's in the top 20, this is crazy. "Harry Torres, with a score of 9 and a ranking of 11th." Now that's impressive. Anybody in the top 12 is basically who i'm hunting down first. "Alfred Friedrich, with a score of 6 and a ranking of 48th." One of the lower Tributes, seems that the Capitol Tributes have very different skill levels. Then we moved onto District 1. Where both of the girls received 9's but with a difference of four between their rankings, that's got to be awkward. Then that Tristiver guy got a 10, but only a ranking of 9th. Which meant that maybe I was wrong about this batch of Tributes being more weak than strong. Then, obviously who'd be the disappointed one, Elias with a score of 8 and a ranking of 21st. Not even in the top 20, he'll be ridiculed for that. Then in District 2 it was surprising to see Tess and Mario with a 7 and a 6 and rankings in the high 30's and low 40's, but then have Pheobe who got a 10 and a ranking of 6th, and Mack who got a score of 9 and a ranking of 13th, which i'm assuming he won't be very happy with it. It was just so interesting to see how different everybody was. Then it District 3, the girls achieved 6's and not good rankings, which was expected, but the boys both got 10's and were the highest ranked yet and 5th and 4th. Now that is something shocking. And both of them are going to be hunted hard. But still there were three places left at the top, and again it would be interesting to see who obtains them. If they're shocking enough, I will go completely unnoticed, which is exactly where I want to be heading into the games tomorrow. They'll never see me coming.

Eleanor Rayle (6)
I was finally sitting in this position, watching all the scores be revealed before we finally headed into the Hunger Games. I was so ecstatic that I could hardly wait for it to begin. This was what I was here for, this is what I volunteered for; to kill, to survive, and to achieve Victory, so I could go home and go back to my crazy and dramatic life with hopefully a more of a clear mind and less stress to add to that equation. We'd just heard of the scores and rankings for the Capitol, 1, 2, and 3 Districts. And my my my, were there some surprises. In usual games, by now, all of the top ranking Tributes have been revealed, who usually come from District 1 or 2. Not only having the 4th highest rank revealed and that Tribute to be from District 3. But honestly, if you weren't expecting to have a shock and a gasp throughout these Quarter Quell Games, then you were in denial and weren't going to be making it out alive. But again, here I was sitting with my three other District partners; Millie, Grayson and Blade; ready to take anything on that was coming my way. My District partners seemed nice, from what i've seen at least, but I was still taking it alone. Honestly, them not being jack-asses would just make it even harder to be with them in an alliance, since only one can make it out. And I needed that to be me. Suddenly Callum popped back up and continued on. Starting with District 4, which I knew could hold that number 1 ranking. However, sadly I was wrong. Though not totally. I mean those Cousins Sharlett and Harvey brought nothing special to the table, no surprise there. But that Paulette girl pulled a 9 out of the bag with a ranking in the top 20. And that Eugene guy pulled out a 10 and achieved a ranking in the top 10, but was still ranked lower than that District 3 guy Tux, who I honestly have no idea how he pulled off anything, he's quite weak, so maybe the Gamemakers were looking more at the mental side of things? Who knows. Then we moved onto District 5. Again, I suspected there could be some high numbers, but I knew now we were getting lower and lower Districts when it came to scores and rankings. They all pulled a 6 or 7 with rankings in the 20's or 50's or whatever. Alright, but definitely nothing special. Now, for what me and all of my District partners had been waiting for, us. I'd gone in with the plan of no showing off to the Gamemakers, because I wanted to be far away from the show, like most loners did. "Millie Lakeside, with a score of 8 and a ranking of 19th". The mentors jumped up, along with Millie in joy. That was pretty good for our District, so much so that I gave her a hug and a pat on the back. I mean, acting jealous and malicious of her, wasn't going to change anything, better to have her on my side. Which maybe were what the others were doing, though like before, they all just seemed to be nice people. Now it was my turn. I really didn't want a stand out number, so much so that I was actually nervous about getting a high score. "Eleanor Rayle, with a score of 7 and a ranking of 30th." I sighed in relief. That was almost perfectly where I wanted to be. I got a round of applause but nothing compared to what Millie got. Which was perfect. I looked at Grayson and he truly seemed nervous. "Grayson James, with a score of 6 and a ranking of 42nd." Everyone's smile sort of dropped slightly. And he got a worse congratulations than I did. I felt bad for him, and he seemed slightly disappointed. "Blade Specter, with a score of 8 and a ranking of 22nd." He got a good receiving, and although he seemed okay, you could tell that he was hoping for better. But overall, District 6 did pretty well, probably better than expected. However, we hardly had any time to process as District 7 began. That young Lydia girl achieved a 7, which I thought was pretty good for her. And I was expecting the exact same of the even younger girl Brianna. Then suddenly I hear "With a score of 10 and a ranking of 3rd." And in that moment, everything went crazy. A 12 year old achieved the 3rd highest score? I swear I could hear everybody jumping around upstairs. Everyone was so shocked that we didn't even listen to the boy's scores, just like i'm sure they didn't upstairs as well. Now this was shocking, even more than i'd expected, and anyone could tell that this year truly was a Quarter Quell. And I was so ready for it.

Zapphire O'Quaid (1)
This was absolutely nuts. That was all I could think as I stormed off from everybody and headed back to my room. I'm sure that the others were close to doing the same. All of the training scores and rankings had just been revealed, and to be honest I was totally filthy. I ended up achieving a 9. And not only that, but with the ranking of 10th. I couldn't even being to wrap my head around that. I had set myself up for the worst case scenario, which in my mind was getting a ranking of 5th. This was just stupid. I had told them as well. Almost begged them, to not let those Tributes from the outlying Districts into our alliance. But of course that did not listen to me, and look where we are now. And the worst part is, that not only are they paying for their mistake, i'm paying for it to. Because now we all look like the biggest idiots ever to take place in these games. I mean they're lucky that i'm even considering sticking around with them. Because I know that every second I spend with those Tributes will be seconds spent convincing myself not to lose control and just kill them straight up. I swear that I've never been this angry. After Brianna, I thought it couldn't get any worse. Than that Erraline girl achieved 2nd, followed by that stupidly named and looking girl called Zoey, not only achieving the highest ranking, but the highest score as well. That's when I lost it. This was ridiculous. And I knew that I was going to hunt every single one of them down in the games, and when I achieved victory, I was coming after the Gamemakers. Because they humiliated me, they wrecked any chance of a good reputation, and took the spotlight off me. They were going to feel pain like never before. Especially since I had so much anger to take out on them. I suddenly heard a noise outside my door. I ripped it open and saw Karenina walking past. I just shot her a dirty look, which she replied to with a smirk. Of course she would, taking it alone looked pretty good right now, and since she was, her position was perfect. How pathetic I thought. I then stormed off back to the lounge room where the boys were. "I told you idiots. I bloody told you! Now look what you've done! We're destroyed!" I yelled at them. "How are we destroyed?" Tristiver asks. "Because now we look compared to the others. Now they hold the dominance in our alliance." replies Elias. "Thankyou. Don't you get it? We've lost our control, and we've lost our furious reputation!" I yell at Tristiver. "What the hell do you want me to do? Kick them out? If you want that, kill them. I'm not going to stop you." He replies, standing to walk away. "No, you don't get to just walk away from me." I state. "Call District 2 if this is such a big issue to you! We had them join to hold the biggest alliance, so deal with it. Sorry that you can't have the bloody spotlight. Again, if you want it, kill them! I can't tell you what to do." He replies storming off. I look at Elias. "What do we do?" I ask. "Like he said, I can't tell you what to do." He states, before also walking away from me. I grunted. This was just outrageous. I wasn't going to be told what to do by a Tribute from District 12 in the Hunger Games. I wouldn't stand for that at all!

The night had finally started to slow down. Tributes were drifting off to bed and the mentors began discussing some final planning, as tomorrow was the day when it all began. I my myself didn't know what to do. Yeah sure, sleep is great, but honestly what is going to change. It was funny how that was how myself and Oreo were looking at it, but I was pretty sure that all the Careers had orders to get a good rest, since Coco and Harry almost bolted to their rooms after the Training Scores and Rankings were over. Speaking of which, well I mean, I couldn't really of cared less. I knew that I couldn't compete against these other tributes, so I just did what I could to not completely fail. Don't get me wrong, I do think that I have a chance of winning this, though I just didn't see the point in caring or trying before the games actually began. Though that wasn't the case for the others. Harry was pretty proud of himself with a ranking of 9th. Coco, I could tell was pretending to be a little disheartened with her ranking, but I knew that she thought she would've done worse. Oreo, while was hoping for better, ultimately knew that she wasn't going to achieve what she wanted. But anyway, that was the situation at the moment. Harry and Coco in bed, while myself and Oreo laid around. We weren't talking or even looking at each other, both probably because we wouldn't know what to say. To be honest, I was surprised that I was even accepted into my alliance, as I think that Oreo doesn't accept me for who I am. I don't know for sure, but that's just what i'm picking up from her. But ironically we're called the 'Trusting Alliance', so maybe she just couldn't say no. But I like how it all turned out. The people in my alliance are actually really nice and caring, especially towards me. I suppose they think that the wrong saying will push me over the edge and i'll go on a rampage. Which isn't really true, for I have accepted myself and if others don't, that's there problem. At least that's the state of mind that i'm trying to get to. It isn't easy and I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I am trying my best. If people do purposely say something offensive to me, then yes of course I will not be impressed. But unintentional, I can understand. Tomorrow in the bloodbath, I am not at all planing on being bloodthirsty, but if somebody does come at me, I will defend myself at all costs. Worse case scenario would be to lose a limb. Because if I die, I will be at peace, though if I lose a limb and have to go through that pain and struggle, eventually leading to a slow and painful death, then I would die in agony and have no peace with myself. Basically the plan for tomorrow is more of a wing it plan, which i'm okay with. Because sometimes in life you just can't plan what will happen to you, and if you need proof of that just look at me. But that's not why i'm here, because that is why i'm going to win these games and walk out alive. Since I haven't given up yet, and tomorrow the fight will start for me to go home and fix my life. And that's something that I see worth fighting for.

Rosalind Bree (3)
I couldn't believe it, I wasn't prepared for it. I was standing under the arena. For all I knew I was standing underneath where I was going to die. I was shaking slightly and I knew that my stylist could see it. She was trying to tell me to calm down in my eyes but that wasn't really working. I was freaking out, because what if I died for nothing? If just got slaughtered by the Careers, and be another nameless Tribute who died in the bloodbath? I couldn't do that, I couldn't deal with that. My stylist then left the room. And this was it, I was going to find out, hopefully, what I arena it could be this year. As long as it wasn't mountainous terrain and had plenty of areas for traps, then I would be fine. My stylist finally walked back in holding a suit for me to wear. I couldn't tell what environment it could be for, and from the look on her face, I wasn't sure that she knew either. As she was helping me get into it, I asked her. "So the arena?" "Well it's built for water and a very tropical climate. Expect it to be hot, so water will be a priority. And be sure to have a backup plan if the Cornucopia is surrounded by water. You have to be careful with that, as you never know who could be good at swimming". She replies. I nod in agreement. Water being a priority, well that was obvious no matter what the arena was. But swimming to the cornucopia could change a lot. The current plan, well the instruction of our alliance, was to not run into the cornucopia without somebody else. So we were to find someone and then go in together, get a weapon and a supply or two and then meet up and run away into a forest area of the arena. But it would be difficult to find each other just swimming around. For all I know, I could drown myself, as swimming has never been something that i've really had to of tried. I trying to think of a backup plan like my stylist had said, but there way too many options. Just run away instantly, go into the cornucopia instantly, could I make it by myself, and so on. Just suddenly doubting everything that I knew or that I thought that I knew. Suddenly I hear it. "Please enter your tubes and await for the beginning." My stylist pats my arm. "And it is a Quarter Quell so expect anything and everything". She states. I nod and turn around. I hesitate for a moment before realising that this wasn't a choice scenario. "10 seconds till launch." This was it, was the end, or was it the start of a new beginning? What was going to happen in the next hour? How was my life going to change? Suddenly the platform began to rise, I instantly felt sick. I wasn't ready, but again this wasn't a choice scenario. I kept on rising. I had my eyes closed. I wanted to pray, but what good was it now. I felt the light against my eyes. I opened them and my mouth dropped in shock. I had expected water and tropics, but instead what I saw surrounding the 56 Tributes and the Cornucopia, was a massive and gigantic maze arena. So it truly was a Quarter Quell, and of course that was the year that I was reaped. My closed my eyes and gave myself a talking to, I needed to be focused and on my game. Because, now, there was absolutely no room for error, my life was on the line here.

Karenina Calishmere (1)
I stood, looking around me, as confused as everybody else in the arena. Suddenly an announcement began, and I knew that these games were already going to be different. "Good morning Tributes, and welcome to 150th annual Hunger Games. As you all understand, these games are a Quarter Quell and we like to finally reveal the twist to you all. As you know surprises are apart of life, however we at the Capitol do not enjoy surprises from the Districts. So this year to remind you all that we have the power to surprise you whenever we want, and we ultimately have the control over you, this year the arena is a maze. And the first Tribute to find the exit will be crowned this years Victor. And when that Tribute does escape, all remaining Tributes will be locked inside and die a slow, painful and surprising death. However, if no Tribute is to find the exit, than the Victor can be crowned like usual, by being the last one standing. We thankyou for your time. We wish you the best and luck and hope that the odds are ever in your favour. Let the 150th Hunger Games begin." The time starts at 30. I have thirty seconds to just process everything that has happened. Honestly I wanted to laugh at the Careers faces that I could see. It seems that the Gamemakers really know how to pull off a surprise, because now it wasn't all about strength, honestly it was all about exploration. And this changed everything, because now people could run from their alliance, so that they could look for the exit by themselves. I for one was glad that I had chosen to take it alone. Standing over to my left I had that guy from District 12 Torin. And to my right I had Harry Torres from the Capitol, who seemed to be looking as bloodthirsty as one could be at this moment. I still was weighing up my options because I believed that only now you could truly make an informed decision. I knew that I would run into the cornucopia and grab what I needed, but it was all about where I would go. There were four distinct sections to the maze. There was a section of the maze made out of wood to my north-west, a section made out a mirror or glass to my north-east, a section made out of stone to my south-east and a section made of hedges and grass to my south-west. And oh there was also, a shall hip high stream of water that through the centre of the arena creating a 't' that divided all four sections of the maze. I was thinking that the wood would be my best bet, because then I could run to the cornucopia, grab my stuff and continue running forward rather than turning around. And I was assuming that that mirror/glass section was probably the most unsafe place to be within these games. Suddenly I looked back at the time. It was it, and I was ready for it.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GONG!!!

Eugene Watson (4)
I jump off my pedestal and bolt straight for the cornucopia. It's just plain grass for the field, so there is no obstacles in my way. I didn't take notice of who was beside me, but I could tell that I was outrunning them. I was bolting and bolting, pushing harder and harder. I eventually pulled up at it, taking a split second to gasp for air. I look around for a Sword or a Machete. I see one. I instantly reach for the Sword that I see and grab it. I suddenly hear someone behind me and I swing my Sword around to them. I hear and feel it being blocked. I quickly turn around and luckily see that it's Tristiver. He nods at me and I nod back. Which meant, anyone that we saw would have to die. Us to got along pretty well and it was good to have a kind of mate around. I began running around to the other side of the cornucopia trying to seek and kill somebody. I pasted a lot my allies, but couldn't find anyone. That was until I saw her. She was not that far in from her pedestal, rummaging through a bag to see if the contents would be good enough for her. Which I knew that they wouldn't be. I grasped my Sword even harder, made sure that nobody was coming at me and than ran at her. It wasn't too long before she saw me. I saw her face, and I believed it to be that Eleanor girl from District 6. I could see the fear in her eyes as I bolted towards her. She rummaged in the bag even faster looking for a weapon to defend herself with. I was so close and she stood up. She turned around and began to run. She threw the bag at me, and it got caught between my legs, making me stumble and fall. That's it, this girl was dead meat. I got up with extra rage and ran faster with extra rage. I swung my Sword, with my arm as far out as it possibly could be. I just managed to slice her back. The initial shock slowed her down enough for me to manage to slice her leg. I grabbed her as she went weak and the knees and shoved her harder to the ground, so that it would hurt more. The tears began welling up in her eyes. I bent down. I lifted the top part of her body up, right onto my Sword, which went all the way through her. "That'll teach you to humiliate me". I whispered in her ear. I ripped the Sword out and stood above her. "Say hello to God for me!" I yelled at her before I plunged my Sword right through her heart. '''BOOM!!! '''"Music to my ears". I stated, before running back to the cornucopia. I knew that I was going to win these games and nobody was going to stand in my way!

Brianna Burrs (7)
I had managed to get to the cornucopia without any harm. Tributes were running and fighting all over the place. I also had managed to put an Axe in my hands, so I knew that I could be safe in somebody were to pick a fight with me. But that wasn't who I was. I was going to pick a fight with someone else. And I saw it, instantly it appeared to me. I walked over to the pair. Of inexperienced Tributes trying to do their best. What I was seeing was Lydia, my District partner, standing over that Sharlet girl from District 4 with a Sword. Lydia had it, but she was clearly hesitating. Which was why I was walking over to her. "Vesper got in your head didn't he?" I ask Lydia. "God will just leave me alone!" She yells back at me. "I will. Just kill her." I state. She looks at me, and can truly see the despair and fear in her eyes. "I.... I.... I..." She tries to say. "Don't worry. I knew that you couldn't do this. That's why I'm hear to help." I state, just before I swing my Axe down into Sharlet's neck. I pull it out, covered in blood, and see her gasp for air. She is in so much fear and pain, and I smile. "You're sick! You're insane!" Lydia yells at me. "What else can I be?" I ask, before spinning and swinging my Axe right into Lydia's chest. I send her flying down to the ground. '''BOOM!!! '''I hear Sharlet's cannon. "You're such a disappointment to your family and our District." I state. "Go to hell you bitch!" She screams at me. I raise my Axe, and with all the might that I contain, I bring it down into Lydia's heart. '''BOOM!!! '''I smile again. Though for a second I have a heart-attack as I struggle to achieve bringing the Axe out of her body. But luckily I manage to rip out of her body. I look at my two bodies. Both with gaping holes in their bodies, blood still constantly pouring out of the both of them. This truly was the life, I thought. I suddenly screamed in fear as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I span around and almost took off Audrey's head with my Axe. "Sorry." She states. "You're sorry?! What the hell I thought that I was dead! I almost killed you!" I scream at her. "Hush!!! Look you heard the Gamemakers, make it to the exit and instantly achieve Victory." She says. "Yeah and what?" I ask her. "Come on. The Careers will never let us leave. We have to go now or we are going to die a slow, painful and surprising death." She says pleadingly. "What? No, I can't do that." I say in reply. "Please, I don't want to go alone, and I trust you." She states. I don't what to do or what to say. "Please we're running out of time." She says looking around. I look at her in confusion. "Come on." She says, turning around and running off towards the Stone section of the maze. And for reason I begin to follow her. Though as I reach the pedestals, I realise that I can't go any further. Audrey turns around to look for me. "Come on!" She yells. "Audrey, I...." I begin to say, "Look Out!" She yells. I turn around to see this guy fall to the ground behind me with an Arrow in his neck. I look back at Audrey to see her Bow up. She runs back over to me. "You need to be more careful." She states. "Who is that?" I ask. I see her sigh. "Miller from my District. I'm so sorry buddy." She says drawing another Arrow and putting it through his heart. '''BOOM!!! '''"Now can we go?" She asks. "Look I sorry for that, you're right, I should've been paying closer attention, but this isn't me. I want to be with the Careers. I want to fight alongside them. Even if I don't win because of it, I really want to stay here Audrey." I tell her pleadingly. She looks at me, into my eyes and knows that I won't budge. "Look i'll say that you were captured by one of the others alliances, and i'll try and steer them away with this Stone section, alright?" I ask her. She nods in reply. "Will you be fine on your own?" I ask. She sighs. "I'll manage." She states. I nod and turn around to run back to the cornucopia. "Oh and Brianna. Thankyou." She yells over to me. I turn my head back and smile at her. And although it might of been better to go with her, I wanted to play my own game with my own rules. And to die doing that, I would be okay.

Mario Iris (2)
I stood on the outskirts, awaiting my brother to come back. I was gritting my teeth not to go in their and get him, but he ordered me to stay here. Which was idiotic, and obviously something that he picked up from District 13. I see him running towards me. I sigh slightly knowing that he's okay, but I ultimately feel anger inside of me. "Hey, the coast wasn't clear enough. I could only get you this Dagger." Luigi tell me. "Are you kidding me?! The coast wasn't clear enough?! But you got yourself a Sword!" I yell at him. "Can you calm down. We have to go. And I got my Sword first, and there were no Spears around." He states. "Of course. Because it's always about what you want and what you need, isn't it!" I yell at him. "What is going on with you?" He asks me. "It's always about you! You went to District 13! You did better than me in the Training Scores and Rankings! You got a Sword for yourself while I only get a Dagger!" I yell at him. "Mario! You need to calm down before you do something that you're going to regret." He states. "I don't regret anything. I enjoyed being thousands of miles away from you! Oh, but you know what I do regret, volunteering for these games so I could become Victor and finally see you again! But no you had to volunteer as well and stuff everything up for me!" I yell at him. "You don't mean that, you're just angry." He says. "No I mean it, I mean every God damn word!" I yell stabbing the Dagger towards him. He jumps back just in time. "You were going to kill me?! What has happened to you?!" He yells at me. I scream in anger and lunge towards him again. He dodges and round house kicks me down to the ground. "Mario! Please stop!" He yells. I pull his leg down and he falls to the ground. I scramble up and stand over him. I bend down to talk into his ear. "See. I'm the better brother. But only one of us can walk of here, and i'd rather it be me who kills you than some random. So i'm sorry brother. It just had to happen. I lifted my Dagger up and began to bring it down. But I felt it. Felt it go straight through my body and heart. Luigi had had his Sword awaiting me to come down. He pushes me off him and I roll to the ground, not being able to move. I am constantly gasping for air. "You didn't give me a choice. Please say hello to mum, and I hope that you can rest in peace, because I will win this for you. I will do everything in my power to do that." He tells me. I open my mouth to respond but nothing comes out. I see the light fading from my view and seconds before my death, I hear the infamous BOOM!!! signally my own death. Maybe this was my legacy to Luigi.

Grayson James (6)
It had been a risky decision running into the cornucopia. But due to the amount of Tributes, I decided to take my chances. And it seems that it had payed off. I've managed to score a backpack full of supplies, including food and water, and even a Dagger. But I knew that any second longer would be pushing my luck. So I ran out. I was heading towards the hedge/grass section of the maze. As I was running I heard '''BOOM!!! '''I stopped and looked around to see who it was. I saw out of the corner of my eye, that Zoey, ranked number one, chick ripped an Axe out of the skull of that poor District 13 girl, Caitlin. Luckily Zoey didn't see me and ran the other way. I sighed in relief as I would've been a goner. So I turned and kept running towards that section of the maze. I had to run over the stream of water to get to it, and as soon as I stepped into it, I was under attack. Somebody caught me off guard, and must of been hiding underneath the water because I certainly didn't see them. But they pulled my leg out from under me and I fell to the ground, losing instant grip of my Dagger. I screamed knowing that this could be the end, and suddenly my head was shoved underwater. I was screaming, this Tribute was going to drown me. The Tribute lifted me up and I gasped for air for a split second before being shoved back underwater. I saw my attackers face to be that guy from District 1, Elias. I could see the Dagger not far from where I was being held. And in that moment I took my right hand and reached out to try and grab it. Then suddenly the pressure against me stopped. I gasped for air, and then the truth came to me. Elias had seen me going for the Dagger, so he'd grabbed it. I instantly jumped off, flung my pack off to try and lose excess weight and began to run. But I was no match for him. He grabbed me by my wet shirt and flung me into the stream's ditch. I hit my head so hard the I was almost instantly knocked out. But I saw Elias jump down and shove the Dagger into my throat. I felt instant agony. And the instant need for air, but I knew that I would never get it again. Elias than pushed me over, so I face down in the water, bleeding out of my throat and having no way of turning over. I gasped and swallowed water, and it happened again and again, before I felt nothing. Before I felt peace. BOOM!!!

Cloak Martins (11)
It had taken forever. Constant hiding, crouching and becoming other objects, but I finally had it. I had my Cloak. Luckily my mentor had been able to get it down as a weapon, but boy they had not made it easy to find. And it almost got me killed several times, thanks to the fact that I new Tribute would run by every five seconds. But none the less, I had what I needed. And I already had my Dagger, so I was ready to head off. However, I knew that I didn't come all of this way and do all of this work to kill nobody. I wanted a kill, and I needed a kill. Ironically the odds must be in my favour, as I was still couching behind some boxes. I saw Mack from District 2 and Erron from District 11 fighting. Which, was what Harry from District 10 must of been trying to escape from. For he, came into my crevice and hid, like I was. He didn't even notice, that I was one meter away from him with my Dagger ready. He sighed and put his face in his hands. And then he saw me. The fear instantly showed in his face. And I instantly pounced on the opportunity. Literally I pounced on him and stabbed him in the abdomen. He then palmed in the face and pushed me off him. I could've gotten up right then and there and kill him. But this was going to probably be my only kill, so I wanted to savour it. Harry propped himself up and began limping off, constantly looking back at me awaiting death. He coughing and spiting up blood everywhere, with it also pouring out of his stab wound. I than ran towards him, covered him with my Cloak, slit his throat in one swift movement. He fell to the ground instantly '''BOOM!!! '''And there was my kill. I saw not that far from me that fight between Mack and Erron, and it was getting ugly. Both sides seemed to be a little bit worse for wear. I thought about jumping into the fight and hoping for the best, but I knew that that would probably bring an end to my life, which I was not going to let happen in the bloodbath. So I turned and ran towards the mirror/glass section of the maze, perfect for me and my Cloak. And it was lucky that I chose to run instead of fight, because while I was running I heard '''BOOM!!! '''and turned around to see Mack constantly stabbing Erron in the chest with his Sword. Maybe a time would come when I could avenge that poor and innocent soul. But to be perfectly honest, I was just happy to make it out alive with everything that I wanted. What could go wrong from here?

Quentin Ryes (9)
Our alliance stood out the open, for whatever God damn reason. The ones who had ventured into the cornucopia were giving stuff out to everyone to carry for the road. I couldn't manage to find one of my allies and I thought it better to be a team player rather than a rogue one. So I didn't go in. But luckily, someone had managed to grab my a Sycthe. And we've got some good supplies for the alliance. "Guys we need to move. We could be attacked at any time!" I say to them. "Yeah we need to go now!!!" Vesper yells. "Just a few more seconds!" yells Corin in reply. "No, I mean tha....." but Vesper's sentence is cut short. "Well well well, if it isn't, what are you calling yourselves the gay community." says Harry Torres from the Capitol District. "Excuse me?" states Oreo. "Well I just assumed that you were all protecting this guy. Or is he a girl?" Harry asks in a mocking tone. "Get the hell away from us, especially him!" I yell at Harry. "Guys! I've got this." Alfred states, stepping forward and meeting Harry eye to eye. "You Harry, are apart of the scumbags of the world who don't except people like me. I understand that you may be confused, but honestly I wonder if you mock me because you're afraid that you are or will be ever like me." Alfred says right in Harry's face. "How dare you call me a scumbag! How dare you imply that i'm anything like you!" Harry yells in anger before pulling back his Spear and stabbing it straight through Alfred's heart. Harry yanks the Spear out and Alfred instantly drops to the ground. We all stand around, just in pure shock. Oreo bends down and talks to Alfred, I can't make out what they're saying but i'm sure that it has something to do with his last wishes. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Targeting somebody just because they're different!" I yell at Harry again. "He's right." says Coco. We all turn around and see Coco standing alone, looking furious. I've never watched her show, but Alfred had mentioned to me that she was famous throughout the Capitol. '''BOOM!!! '''I hear Oreo scream Alfred's name and I know that that is his cannon. "Did you hear that Harry? That was the sound of the biggest mistake in your life." states Coco walking towards. "Is that so?" asks Harry. Coco, looks around and begins a speech, obviously trying to talk to the cameras. "To the people of Panem. Shame on you if you treat others differently because of their sexuality or gender identity. Because they're not the monsters, it's people like Harry who are the monsters. Everyone should be treated nicely and fairly within this society, and I will not stand for anything less. So Harry. I'm guessing that you haven't killed all of us because you know we'll out number you correct?" asks Coco. "All of us? Who's side are you on?" asks Harry. "There's! And I want you to know and feel our presence, because we're not going to kill you right now. One of us is going to escape and you are going to die a slow and painful death for...." Coco says but Harry interrupts; "For him or her, what are you going to call that person?" asks Harry. "For that amazing human being who's life you just wrongfully ended. But if we ever get the pleasure to meet again, any of us would be happy to bring that painful death to you personally." Coco states. You could instantly see Harry backing down. And you can instantly tell how big of an influence Coco had for the Capitol. Suddenly I hear a scream. I look to my right, just like everybody else, and see Rosalind from District 3 running towards Harry with a Spear. However, she never makes it. As she falls to the ground with two Throwing Knives in her neck '''BOOM!!! '''We all look to see Zapphire from District 1, blow a kiss to Harry, obviously flirting for an ally. Everyone knew that that would be her game plan. I then see out the corner of my eye, that Tristiver is running towards us. "Let's get out of here!" I yell. "Fast!!!" Vesper backs up. We all turn and begin to head towards the hedge/grass section of the maze. I look back and see throw the Spear towards me. I see it coming and know that it's going to kill me. I drop to the ground and curl up hoping that it misses me. '''BOOM!!! '''I open my eyes, to see that I survived, but because I ducked, it got the next person in it's path; Breccan from District 5, and he didn't even know that it was coming. I stare at the body, knowing that if I hadn't ducked he would still be alive right now. Vesper comes back to me. He helps me up and we run off over to that section of the maze, but I can never take my eyes off his body. Because I basically killed him.

Tristiver Redgrave (1)
'''BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! '''And there I stood. The bloodbath, was over. All of the Tributes had cleared out and we, the Careers, were just left standing around the cornucopia. "Everybody sit down, shut and listen!" I yell at them all. I stand before them, with Eugene by my side. I had to get a couple messages across to them, but this also made it clear that myself and Eugene were in charge. We weren't going to let somebody like Zoey just jump in and hope for the best. Myself and Eugene were prepared for this and we were completely ready. "This bloodbath took down the number of Tributes from 56 to 44. I would like you stand if you made a kill." I state. I see Brianna, Mack, Zapphire, Zoey, Elias, and Harry stand up. "So including myself and Eugene, that is only eight out of a possible twelve kills." I say disappointedly. "I got two." I hear Brianna say. "Yeah, and one of them was one of us." Scoffs Eugene. "What?!" I yell, shooting my head at her. "It was just Lydia! She was standing over Sharlet and couldn't make the kill, so I did it for her before taking her out. She was just going to way us down." She exclaims. "That is for everyone to decide, not you!" I yell at her. I then look around counting our numbers. "We're missing three. One is obviously Lydia. Is another Career dead?" I exclaim. "Coco ran off with that Trusting Alliance." Harry says. "And I saw Audrey being dragged away by the Anti's." Brianna states. "What?" asks Eugene. "Yeah, they came up behind her, grabbed her and took her with them." says Brianna. "Why didn't she fight back?" I ask her. "Well she was out numbered." Brianna replies. "Which section did they go in?" asks Eugene. "The Grass." Brianna replies. Eugene walks over to me and whispers in my ear. "If she's telling the truth, the Anti's are our biggest threat. We should get out there now before it becomes to late and they get out of our grasp." He says to me. I nod at him. "Okay Brianna. But you better not be lying to us. And for that matter of fact, is anybody does, lie, then they're instantly dead. You're either fully committed to this alliance or you're not. But getting back to my original point of meeting. I want you all to understand something. From now on, you all need to prove your worth. Because when we get to only 28 Tributes left, which is halfway, anybody that we do think isn't needed anymore, will be executed." I say to them all. "Now I wanted to discuss more, but we have to hunt down those Anti's. For they're our biggest threat and we have to get them out now." I exclaim. "But what about the maze?" asks Alkaline. "What about it?" I ask. "Well aren't we going to try and escape?" he asks. "No. We're Careers we fight, and if you keep thinking like that you'll be the next cannon to sound, got it?" Eugene sternly says to him. Alkaline nods in pure fear. "Anyway. Myself, Eugene and Mack, will head over to the Grass section to hunt down anyone that we find. Elias, Zapphire, and...... Paulette, head over to the Wood section and see who you can find. The rest of you, stay here and don't kill each other. Harry, you're in charge." I sternly say to him. "But what about us? Why do we have to sit here?" Exclaims Brianna. "You need shut your mouth! Like you said, more people will just way us down!" I yell at her. I look at Eugene and Mack, we all have our weapons ready. I look at the other three I was sending to the Wood section. "Be back by nightfall okay?" They nod in reply. "Let's move." I say to Eugene and Mack, and we begin running away from the cornucopia and over to the Grass section of the maze. I wonder what could be lurking around the corners.

Athen Navix (8)
We sat in the Stone section of the maze. We were all just walking. Walking, walking and walking. We'd lost Rosalind, Harry and Miller in the bloodbath, thus putting our already low numbers of an alliance, down even further. "Alright let's pull up. Everyone take a rest." yells Blade out to all of us. He had assumed the leadership position. Many wanted it to be Erraline due to her high score, but she refused. And besides, Blade seemed to have that sort of energy around him anyway. A lot of us were wondering about Erraline though, what if she was like a spy for the Careers or something? What if we all went to sleep and she just tore through all of us. It wouldn't really surprise me, something about her seems a little off. "What are we going to do?" asks James. We all looked around each other, lost. "Look, for now we just need to keep moving. We don't want to accidentally run into anyone around the corners of these walls." states Blade. "Well i'm more interested in finding that exit." says Lilah. "Is that what we're going to look for?" asks Adelphus. "It beats battling the Careers for the victory." states Millie. "But in looking for it, we could run into anybody. Even the Careers. I think it's best to hide and just wait it out." states Konan. "Okay everybody calm down! Listen, that is something that we need to decide on. And that's something that we're going to do as a vote. But not here and not now. We don't how far this maze leads from the cornucopia but the further we are the better. We'll vote at night fall. So stew on what you want to do, and if you aren't happy with the overall decision that will occur than you can just leave." says Blade. We all look around at each other and nod. "So what are we doing? Let's move." states Erraline. We all jump up and grab our things. The eight of us, were lucky to have at least some sort of a weapon and a small number of supplies. I was unfortunately one of the unluckier ones. I had only managed to get a Dagger out of a supply bag, while most of the others had achieved their ideal and incredible weapons. I just wanted to get out of here, mainly out of this alliance, because I couldn't be the boss here, they all looked down on me as the servant. Which is also why I had to carry the most out of the all of them. The others had already started walking off. But I was still trying to fix everything up and make it easier to carry. "Hurry it up Athen! Let's go!" yells Adelphus. "Just hold on my majesty." I whisper under my breath. Suddenly I jump at the sound of clashing metal. "Stupid bloody Dagger!" I yell. I look and see that my one pocket has been completely ripped open by the Dagger and it won't be able to hold anything again. "If things couldn't get any worse right now." I state, bending down to pick it up. I suddenly hear a wooshing sound above my head. I shoot straight up and turn around. Just as an arrow hit my in the stomach. And then another one and another one. I fall to the ground, hitting it completely stiff. I look up and see Audrey from District 9 running over towards me, Bow at the ready. I try to scream for my alliance to help but nothing is working, nothing is coming out. I start convulsing in agony. I just look at Audrey in pure disgust and she just smiles at me. She is going through all of the supplies that I had to carry and taking out what I assume she needs. I suddenly hear footsteps coming towards me from behind. "Athen, what is taking you so long, come......" I hear Adelphus saying before he sees Audrey. "Guys!!!" he screams. Audrey fires an arrow at him. I hear my alliance running back. "Oh my god!" screams Lilah. "Guys, we have to move, the Careers mustn't be too far!" I hear Blade state. "We have to help him!" screams Erraline. "We don't have a choice, now come one, let's get out of here!" yells James. I hear them all running. I can't see Audrey anymore, they must of scared her away. I struggle for air, as the blood keeps pouring out of me. I feel so much pain, it's unbearable. I look around, tears streaming down my face. I see my Dagger in reach of me. "We don't have a choice." I whisper. I reach out to grab the Dagger, but I just can't do it. I want to live, I want to have a life. I don't want to be the one to end it. I am screaming inside my head because nothing will come out of my mouth. Only blood does. I shut my eyes and beg for everything to just end. Then suddenly all there was, was nothing but light and peace.......... BOOM!!!

Sonia Arakawa (13)
I had managed to survive the bloodbath of the games. Not only that, but my plans were working with flying colours. It was actually incredible. There was only one slight mishap, which was the fact that I had yet to make a kill. Which technically can also be a good thing, since that means i've never been in any danger. I had been worried coming into the games. I knew that the Careers would want to pick off the weaker Tributes. And since I had made myself look like one, I thought that they'd be on the lookout for me as an easy kill. But it seemed that I was terribly wrong. I managed to sneak in the bloodbath, get what I absolutely needed, and then get out before anybody even saw me. Looking back now, I think that I could've stayed longer and achieved better supplies, but I didn't need to risk that. Plus all I needed were my weapons, my Sickle and my Throwing Knives. I think I saw quite a few other Tributes with their ideal weapons. The Careers probably should've done a better job at protecting them. But anyway, here I was in this stupid grass section of the maze. Which if you were wondering, I was not going to be apart of. I mean in what universe do the Gamemakers just give people a free way out? No, I was not getting sucked into that trap and false hope. I mean even if they speak the truth, it ain't going to be easy to find, honestly I think it would be quicker just to kill everyone myself. They're only doing it so that, if somebody does find the exit, than the rest of us will be basically brutally slaughtered for everyone to see. And they were right, I too also hate surprises. So no, I wasn't going to be apart of that, I was going to fight till the death like I was prepared for. But due to the large amount of Career numbers, which I hope were cut due to the bloodbath, I had to be inside the maze, or I'd be battling them all. This was my only place to hide. But it didn't bother me, as it was where everybody else had to be as well, so I knew that I was bound to bump into someone eventually. Suddenly my instincts flared up. Something was going on, something was about to happen. I looked around, listening. I had stopped moving, not waning to give my position away. I heard loud footsteps coming towards me. I noticed that they were loud like a man's, not like a large group of people. I made sure that I was ready. I could hear the person running down the corridor. I crouched down against one of the large grass hedge walls. Ready to slice the Tributes legs as soon as they ran past me. I heard them coming closer and closer. I then swung my Sickle around the corner. It hit. I rolled away, just in time too, as a Sword was brought down to where I was crouching. I looked up and saw Mack Waterborne from District 2 glaring at me. I jumped up at him. Shoving us both to the ground. I was on top of him so I managed to pin him down. I threw his Sword away, but in that moment Mack flipped me over and off him. He scrambled up and ripped the Sickle out of leg. I swung it down and I jumped up onto the grass hedge wall. I than jumped onto Mack's shoulders as he was sort of bending down. He ran around, trying to shake me off. I wrapped my legs around his chest and held on for dear life. I wanted to stab him with my Throwing Knives but due to my position and Mack's shaking me around, they were all falling out of my reach. I knew soon Mack would stop and pick one up off the ground, so I had to be quick. I knew that I would only get one shot. I put my arms around his head and with all of my might, I snapped his neck in a swift movement '''BOOM!!! '''Instantly Mack's standing dead body with me on his shoulders fell to the floor with a massive thud. I landed awkwardly with serious aching pain. Seemed that i'd managed to sprain my wrists throughout the battle. I looked around in pain and almost gasped. I saw Tristiver and Eugene from the Careers just staring at me. Once i had made eye contact with them, they ran off, out of my sight. My brain said that they would be back, but my instincts knew that they would just go back and tell the Careers that I'm actually a threat to them. Great I thought, my plans had sort of gone all sorts of array now. I picked up all of my supplies and weapons, noticing that my wrists were definitely going need to be healed. But all I could do for now, was move and sort of hope not to run into anyone. But this was the Hunger Games and it was sure seeming that anything could happen.

Lunar Powers (10)
The darkness of the first day had begun to roll around. It was weird, I was feeling so terrified, yet so strangely confident. That was because here I was sitting, in the Hunger Games, in this stupid mirror section, but I was with Solar. We'd managed by chance to bump into each other during the bloodbath, and without a second thought we ran to our closest section of the maze. Unfortunately it was this mirror section, but we knew that the Careers could go anywhere, so we'd hopefully gone as far into the maze as we could. With the almost near no visibility in the dark now, we knew that it was a good time to stop and call it quits for the day. It was highly unlikely that the Careers would be coming around now, well at least that was what we were telling ourselves. It was creepy in this section of the maze, because you think that there is someone around you all the time but actually it's just your reflection. I wondered about what i'd be doing at home now. Probably putting Meison to bed and hoping that no District 10 Tributes would be dying, but that of course very rarely happened. Which made me think, about this batch of District 10 Tributes. Would any of them show up? It was likely but I was hoping that it wouldn't happen, because they're still always potential allies. Solar refuses to sleep. He's pacing around now, listening out for noise or if there will be someone coming around the corner. "You worry too much." I say to him. "Well i'm glad that you're not." He replies, not even looking at me. "Solar, relax. You'll still hear them from sitting down. And than at least you'll be closer to protect me." I say. He grunts and comes to sit down next to me. I lean up against him. I knew that that line would get him. As much as I loved having him here, I still was slightly angry with him for volunteering. What if we were to both die and Meison had nobody left for him. Solar was such a great dad. I was glad that I had him. Had him here, in my life, and in Meison's life. Even if.... Well never mind. Long story short, Solar is the best partner I could've hoped for. And he never stops proving that to me. "Don't worry Lunar. Everything is going to be alright." He says to me. I looked up at him and kissed him. I couldn't of hoped for more out of my life, than to Solar and Meison in it. I was just hoping that I would get to live on with the both of them forever and ever, but I knew that could never happen.

Nighttime had fallen and I honestly didn't even know where to begin. I knew not have any expectations for this Quarter Quell but I'm still confused by this arena and its twist - a maze with an exit; really? Like really? What should I be looking for? Myself, Harvey and Electro had all managed to find each other during the bloodbath and escape into the wood section of the maze. Not before however finding some bottles and collecting the water from the stream to sustain us. And luckily we did too, because we saw Elias kill Grayson by stabbing his throat and drowning him; Grayson's blood just polluting the fresh stream. I'm sure it'll pass but for the moment it wouldn't be the safest source of water. "So are we looking for like a door in the maze? Like a wall you can push maybe?" asks Harvey as we're strolling around. Considering there was an escape somewhere, it just seemed the logical step to keep moving and try to find it. "Perhaps it could even be in the ground?" I suggest. "No, it's more likely that it's the furthest point away from the cornucopia. We just need to try and keep covering ground to get to the end of this maze," coldly states Electro. I mean yeah sure it was an idea, probably not what I would agree with but it would work as an objective for now. I had no idea where we were, and we were certainly lost. Although being lost implies you knew where you were at some previous point; which we did not. The wooden planks that formed the walls of the maze of course all looked the same and for all we knew we could be walking in circles. But the maze was massive, that was easy to tell, it felt that even with all of these tributes you could just never run into anyone. However we needed something, because without weapons we were in huge trouble. I was leading the pack heading forward when out of nowhere I heard a bang against a wall close by - like somebody had just punched it or ran into it. I stopped in my tracks and indicated for the others to be quiet. "How are we going to find our way out of here!" exclaimed a girl's high-pitched voice. "I don't know we just need to keep heading backwards, just hurry up," spoke a man's voice - a voice that I recognised as Elias'. The careers were out searching and they were heading towards us, I had to think quickly. We certainly couldn't take them on, and we didn't really have time to run, leaving our only option to hide. I shove Harvey and Electro down lower to the ground, but as I touch Electro's green strand of hair he lets out a loud scream. My eyes widen in fear, and I waste no time running in the opposite direction from the careers, and around a few corners. The others follow me and halt to see if we lost them. I hear running footsteps coming and I begin to hold my breath. "I know you're here," whispers the girl's voice who I can now tell to be Zapphire. There's practically only one maze wall between us. Everything is silent for a little longer as I wait for her to find and slaughter us. "We said we would be back by nightfall, this isn't worth it," I hear Elias yell out in the distance. Zapphire grunts but retreats as ordered. All I can do is gleer at Electro and wish that maybe I had gone on my own.

Corin Geer (5)
I guess I was a little saddened by Breccan's death. He gave me some comfort in this alliance because we were district partner's; although I did still feel safe with the others. Quentin can hardly look at me. But I know it wasn't his fault, he saved himself and Breccan didn't get so lucky, this stuff is to be expected. Whenever I get a glimpse from Quentin I just try to show my sympathy and understanding through my eyes. I personally and I think we all were trying to get to know Coco a little better. She had shown at caring character at the bloodbath but that wasn't to say she couldn't still have a dark side; especially with her ranking in the top 20 proving she had the ability. I think the more pressing matter was that the careers would now be after her even more for flaking on them, and I didn't appreciate having the larger target on our backs. Nonetheless we welcomed her into our alliance and were now trying to relax into the night to have our strength for tomorrow. Finally I heard Panem's anthem start to play and we all gazed into the sky to see who's face would appear.

District 13 - Caitlin Shadow

It's amazing that you couldn't hear all the tributes gasping in the arena. I guess it's not surprising at the multitude of deaths given the pool of tributes, but the fact that both males from District 2 didn't live to see Day 2 is incredible. The gamemakers would be lapping it up, bragging to their friends in the Capitol about how great these games were going to be. The fact of how spread the deaths were over the different districts as also quite shocking. There were hardly any districts that didn't lose someone, and this is the point that danger really started to sink in. Nobody was safe, this game truly was life and death. Who knew what would be lying around the corners tomorrow and what the gamemakers would be throwing at us?

Day 1 Info:
Here is some tribute information: Alliances
 * Both males from District 2 and two tributes from District 6 are dead.
 * Nobody from District 1 or District 12 died.
 * Today 2 careers died, 4 anti-careers died, 3 tributes of the trusting alliance died, 1 tribute from the brothers of justice alliance died, and 4 loners died. Nobody died from the tributes in the small alliance or the tributes in the powers couple.
 * 9 males and 5 females died today.
 * Only 12 tributes died in the bloodbath, and 2 tributes died in the afternoon.
 * There are 42 tributes remaining.

Those careers who had gone searching last night finally returned to the cornucopia as the sun began to rise. "What took you all so long?" asked Harry. "And what the hell happened to Mack? Who got him?" yelled Zoey. It was the question that had been on all our minds while we sat here wasting time. "It was that Sonia girl from District 13," stated Eugene. "She must have been playing dumb during training, she snapped his neck with her bare hands," replied Tristver in response to the utter confusion displayed on the crowd's face. "That sneaky bitch, we have to go after her. Take her down while she's over-confident," exclaimed Brianna. "We're not going anywhere until we devise a plan," orders Tristver, "we almost got lost in those mazes, so if we go in we need to be prepared to not come back out." "But there's an exit out there, and that's what they're all going to be after. Who knows how big those mazes are and everyone has had a day headstart on us, we wasted so much time," I calmly explain. "None of them will be coming back to the cornucopia," states Rio in support. "I get it, but if we're not careful, we could run into an alliance and be out numbered, or worse just spend days searching the maze and find nobody," says Tristver. "So what's your plan?" Tess asks nervously. "There's 13 of us, that's enough for teams of 3 per maze and 1 person left here in case someone tries to come back," explains Eugene. "We're just going to have someone sit here?" asks Daneiris. "And what if they become the victor after we all get slaughtered in the maze?" asks Zapphire. "I'll still take the glory, am I right?" laughs Jack. "Alkaline, you can work with the explosives in the pedestals right? That's how you got your high training score correct?" probes Elias. I initially glare at him thinking he's trying to undermine me, but then I consider the opportunity this presents me. "Yeah I can use them for traps, that's what I know how to do," I reply. "Alright, well I think we leave him here to get started on that so we can use that if we make it back to the cornucopia," says Elias. I look at Tristver who's facial expression just radiates that he has no idea what to do. It must be crushing him that he can't just use blunt force to take himself to victory. "That's the best option we have," Paulette chimes in. "Okay fine, Alkaline will man the cornucopia, the rest of us need to split into three even teams and take one section of the maze each," replies Tristver. I couldn't believe how lucky I was getting, not only was I safe from the careers turning on me, but practically safe from coming across any tribute in the arena. I watch as Tess, Jack and Daneiris go into the stone section of the maze. Tristver, Eugene and Harry go into the hedge section of the maze. Elias, Zapphire and Paulette go back into the wooden section of the maze. Zoey, Brianna and Rio go into the mirror section of the maze. I wonder who I'll see again, hopefully none of them. However, just because I didn't plan on running into any tributes doesn't mean I didn't plan on causing any damage. I still had big plans to rack up a high kill count.

Torin Fowlere (12)
As soon as the sun had risen into the sky, the dark clouds began to roll over above me in hedge section of the maze. My heart rate began to spike at the thought that this was some gamemaker trick, but was relieved when it started to pour with fresh rain. I took the chance to deal with my mild dehydration, taking in as much water as I could to be prepared to go the next few days without it. However the rain was causing another issue - lose of body temperature. Although it was still mild and nothing to be concerned about at the moment, I decided to do my best to deal with it by using my game strategy - camouflage. It was the specific reason that I ran into the hedge section of the maze, and why I didn't even try to gain any supplies or weapons. With the hedges and the dirt ground, along with this rain that began to turn the dirt into mud, I knew I could easily pull it off. I started digging up the ground to create a hole for myself as close the hedge wall of the maze as possible. I also started pulling any leaves or branches off the hedges that I could; but being careful to not take too much from one spot to avoid indicating my presence. With the rain continuing, it wasn't long before I climbed into my hole, covered my body up with the mud, and covered my exposed face with the extra branches. I knew it wasn't perfect, and if anyone looked too long they would notice a bit sticking out from the perfectly symmertrical hedge maze, however tributes rushing past or not paying enough attention wouldn't notice. I was prepared to wait the games out, and for any other games I would have complete faith in that strategy. However, with this Quarter Quell not only did I know that the gamemakers wouldn't let it be that easy for me, I also had the increased risk considering I wasn't looking for the exit that would allow me to be victorious. I would just have to hope that nobody finds the exit, and that all the tributes are killed before somebody or something finds me. I was just going to use my strategy for as long as I could to hopefully increase my chances of winning.

Sophia Fallows (11)
I couldn't believe that Erron wasn't alive any longer, and I was just so thankful that no other District 11 photos appeared in the sky last night. It was the last thing I saw during the bloodbath; Mack hacking away at him, before I bolted towards the wooden section of the maze. I had managed to grab some useful supplies out of the backpacks scattered around the edges. The highlight of which was a container of poison. It was a type of poison I had never come across before, it didn't appear to come from any type of agricultural product, nor did it appear to be the type of poison to dip a blade into, for it smelt for too strong for that. It also was very thin and chemically appeared just slightly thicker than water in consistency. This implied its only use to me; to poison the streams that ran throughout the arena. From what I gathered in my memories, the shallow streams ran as dividers between the four different sections of the maze, therefore if I could find one of these streams on the edge of the wooden maze then I could use the only weapon I had. It was also the weapon that most suited me, because I knew I was no match in combat. Hopefully the careers would drink it and not the tributes fighting their hardest for their life, but ultimately there was nothing I could do. Only one of us was getting out of here, and the quicker that happened, the quicker this nightmare would be over. I was heading south, navigating my way through the maze, trying to not get frustrated when I hit deadends and had to retrace my steps. Eventually after what felt like walking for the entire day, I heard a hint of the stream of water. I followed the sound, being careful of any other tributes near by, I came upon it. There was a small clearing from the edge of the wooden maze to the edge of the hedge maze with the stream in the middle. There were clearly different clearings along the stream because it wasn't like I had a clearing of direct access back to the cornucopia, it was blocked by more wooden maze walls. Nonetheless I knew the water stream's were all connected, or at least that's all I could hope for. I grabbed out the container and without hesitating submerged it with the lid open in the stream. The current took the clear poison substance away, heading towards the opposite side of the arena, where the mirror and stone mazes were. Suddenly I heard the feint sound of footsteps coming from behind me. I jumped the stream and ran behind a corner in the hedge maze, but stopped so I could peak back and see who it was. It was just the Talia girl from District 5, she emerged into the clearing from the wooden maze. She looked around before heading for the stream for water. Luckily for her, she went further upstream from where I released the poison, and with the current heading downstream she was probably safe. Not that she knew there was any danger at all, just drinking from the stream as she pleased. Eventually after Talia quenched her thirst, she headed back into the wooden maze. I decided to follow her, see if she had any supplies that I can take advantage of.

I knew that we held a strong group of powerful women as we entered the mirror section of the maze. We were going to need our strengths as well, because god this section of the maze was hell. Every time you turned the corner there would be a perfect reflection of you, and you just had to hope it wasn't actually another tribute that would take a swing at you. It certainly took a while to get used too, during the morning we would often would take a swing at our reflections thinking that we were in danger. I noticed that interestingly, the mirror walls where quite fragile. When we would hit them with our swords, katanas, or axes, the mirrors would crack - not completely like the wall would disappear but the mirrors would crack and you could pick a dagger out of a mirror that you punched to shatters. I knew to keep a mental note of that in case the worst happened and we lost our weapons or something. The other issue we had to contend with was just running into the mirror walls, it was nearly impossible to tell where one mirror started and where the other one ended. Myself and Rio especially struggled, with the only solution being to constantly look at the ground to see where the path would take us. But of course we couldn't all be looking at the ground to get slaughtered from behind. So we devised a strategy; Rio would walk in the middle of us with her head watching the ground, then Brianna and I would hold her shoulder while we walked with Rio guiding us around. Brianna was on watch out the front, and I was looking behind. "What if nobody even came in this section of the maze?" asks Brianna. "We still just need to be sure," I reply. "You'd think a lot of loners would take to this section because it's the most dangerous, so they'd think us careers wouldn't come in here," suggested Rio. "Well maybe we shouldn't of. We're definitely lost and we've come across nobody!" yelled Brianna whilst taking her anger out on the mirror wall beside her. That was when I saw it. A black cloaked figure in the mirrors from the way we came. Someone was following us, not that that would be difficult considering how loud we were and often were leaving a trail of broken mirror walls. "Girls....." I whisper raising my katana. "What?!" exclaims Brianna. I look at her with anger to get her to shut up. I indicate to the others to get their weapons ready and follow me. I slowly start walking in the opposite direction, I turn the corner and gasp as I see the same black cloak in the mirrors again. I pick up speed, trying to follow the reflections. Suddenly I see him, he appears to be standing at a dead end - I've got him. I ran straight towards him, my katana held out to plunge through his torso. But I realise too late that I've been tricked and I ram straight into the wall, the blow knocking me back onto the ground. My forehead had been a bit cut up by my impact into the mirror and blood began to drip down my face. There was no way that I could've seen the figure within the reflections in here and he not actually be here; the gamemakers must have been playing tricks on me. I hear Rio let out a cry close by, followed by another smash which I can only assume to be Brianna swinging her axe into the mirror. I scramble up and head back the way I came. As I'm running down a corridor, I see the black cloaked figure coming at me with Brianna close in chase. I jump up to the wall on my left, bouncing off it to the wall on my right and bouncing off it to fly through the air towards the figure head; my katana ready to slice his throat. He doesn't even have time to defend himself or try to pull a move with his weapon. He instantly falls to the ground. His hood falls off and I see it's that Cloak guy from District 11, which figures. I stop Brianna who continues to run, I wasn't about to let her take my kill. I walk over to Cloak's body, I tower over him. In his eyes he already looks gone. I plunge my katana in the top of his chest, and I use all my strength to pull it downwards, ripping open his stomach until I finally here BOOM!!!

The rain continued to poor down over the hedge maze as it had been all day. It was now starting to get into the late afternoon and I'd only heard one cannon. I suppose with all the tributes out in the maze looking for the exit there isn't much combat occurring. Nonetheless that was my strategy, and probably my only chance at victory. I have no idea how I pulled off my score, and ranking of 4th, geez I was still reeling. All I did was show my skills with a needle, both how it can be life saving and deadly. I guess it was unique enough to put me in the spotlight. It also meant that gamemakers ensured I had a needle close by during the bloodbath. I found it relatively easy and staying out of the crossfire I made a run for the hedge section of the maze. With the rain this section had become a mud slip and slide, which we made me even more nervous to come across another tribute, because I needed stable footing to get a good push off the ground to attack with my needle. The rain was probably punishment from the gamemakers for not showing off my skills during the bloodbath. In regards to this exit I had no idea what I was supposed to be searching for, and I was just shivering from walking around in the rain all day. However it provided a good sense of visibility protection from the other tributes, and luckily too, because I suddenly turned around the corner and saw someone walking down the maze corridor ahead of me. She was alone, and had the most gorgeous blonde hair I had ever seen, it really stood out within this dense rain. I knew it was the Sonia girl from District 13, and although she was beautiful I knew I had to show off my skills to the gamemakers to get this horrid rain to stop. The plan was simple, I could come from behind her, use my needle to puncture her carotid artery a few times and even use it to damage her heart once she was nearly unconscious. There was no time like the present, I started to pick up speed and gain on Sonia. But what I didn't remember was that even with the heavy rain, the squelching from my running on the mud was still loud. Just as I reached her and swung my needle Sonia ducked and I tumbled over her, landing with my back in the mud and her towering over me. "Nice try," she exclaims before kicking me in the groin. I scoff and notice that her wrists are swollen to the size of lemons. I could tell she was trying to pick out a knife or dagger from her pocket but the pain in her wrists wouldn't let her. Although she powered through, as soon as she pulled it out of her pocked she fumbled and dropped it into the mud. This was my chance, as bent down to pick it up, I used all my might to tackle her and pin her down to the ground - being sure to put pressure on her wrists. I get one good stab of the needle right into her carotid artery before she uses the strength in her legs to throw me off. Of course my needle didn't do any damage unless I ripped it out of her throat, which I didn't get to do. But Sonia, being the tough girl she was, ripped the needle out herself - big mistake. The carotid artery supplies the oxygen-rich blood to the brain, and now that it was squirting out of neck instead wasn't good. The shock it put Sonia in, meant she collapsed, face first in the mud. She probably passed out from the incredible pain her body was going through from both her head lacking oxygen and her swollen wrists. I wasn't taking any chances, I flipped her over, her blood squirting out at me, grabbed me needle and continued to stab it into her carotid artery until I heard the infamous '''BOOM!!! '''and she was gone.

Audrey Erosmar (9)
I had really rattled the Anti-Careers last night, because of course they thought that I was still allied with the Careers. But after taking down Athen and taking the supplies I needed, I did an excellent job of disappearing if I must say so myself. I've kept them thinking that the Careers are hot on their tail, and I've stayed out of danger. There was still a slight part of me that wished Brianna had taken up my offer and joined me on my quest for the exit, yet perhaps it was for the best because only one of us, could escape and in combat she'd have taken me out in no time at all. I was looking for a dummy wall, because it was the only way I thought that the gamemakers could hide an exit within the maze, if I could just find it then I could claim victory. I was covering a lot of ground, my hands constantly on the walls seeing if they would budge. It was the only strategy I had, and I wasn't planning on stopping as nighttime began to fall. Athen's supplies were keeping my strength up, and my mind aware. Luckily that was the case too, otherwise I may have missed it. As I was running around a corner, I felt my right hand move the stone wall it was touching. I stopped dead in my tracks, looked to my right and without a second thought used my strength to push the wall. Which to my surprise opened like a massive door. On the other side was a black wall with a single normal door in the middle. This could be it, the exit right in front of my eyes. However, I wasn't naive enough to think the gamemakers would let it be that easy, so I had my bow and arrow at the ready. The massive stone wall door closed behind me as I walked through, which gave me more hope that this was the exit because other tributes still couldn't find it. With my bow and arrow still at the ready, I opened the black door. It was a pitch black corridor. I entered, shutting the door behind me I was submerged in the darkness. Suddenly a light appeared at the end of the tunnel, I began to follow it. Eventually I realised it was another opening and I could hear howling winds coming from within. As I walked into the light, and my eyes adjusted, I was confused as to where I was. I was looking directly at a cliff face above me, although I was already so high off the ground on a ledge on the mountain. The winds were fighting to push me off, and I crouched low to keep my balance. Behind me was no longer the dark corridor, just the edge of the ledge I was standing on, which lead to what looked like a hundred storey drop to the ground below. It was like I was in another arena cause the sun was back out in full, like it was the middle of the day. I kept waiting for some instructions, what was I supposed to do? How did I get to escape? However nothing came. Really the only options I had were to jump to what I'm sure would be my death or scale the cliff in front of me and hope the exit was the top. This was the option that made more sense. Luckily heights wasn't one of my massive fears, and although I felt confident I had the strength to assist me, my rock climbing skills weren't exactly top-notched. Nonetheless I had no other choice. Battling the winds, I tried to get a hold of my hands and foot on the wall. I managed quite easily, and the instance I had, the ledge I was standing on crumbled and collapsed to the ground below. There was now nothing between me and the ground if I slipped and fell. My grip intensified and I pulled my body as close to the rock face as possible to stop the winds from pulling me off. I moved up a few metres but knew I wouldn't be able to make it to the top from pure climbing. I still had about 500 metres of pure cliff face to scale before I would reach the top. That's when a plan popped into my head, I still had my bow and quiver full of arrows with me. I chucked away the bow to save the extra weight. My plan was to use the arrows as hand and foot holds to help me scale the wall. Although it was a rock cliff face, if I found a crevice and used enough force, the arrows would manage to hold. My plan worked, getting me about half the distance I needed to travel. But that's when it all went wrong. As I held onto an arrow with my left hand and was resting my feet on two arrows below me, I tried to insert another arrow with right hand. I mustn't have pushed it into the cliff face hard enough because when I went to grab it it just fell out. This meant the weight that I was prepared to put on my right hand went straight down to my feet in a sudden shock. The arrows weren't strong enough to hold and they snapped. I was now dangling over my death with nothing but all my weight on the arrow that my left hand was holding onto. This was the end and I knew it. I had come so close to escaping but didn't have the skills to pull it off. Submitting myself to the gamemakers I let my grip go of the arrow and felt the air rushing past me as I plummeted. I was picking up speed heading towards the ground and I just shut my eyes and waited for it to be over. I hoped that upon impacting I would be dead, but I felt the agony of hitting the ground - the bones in my leg trying to hold while the rest of my body was crushing down on them from gravity. It was excruciating and I imagine it felt like being compressed; BOOM!!!

Konan Spielberg (12)
The Anti-Careers had spent the day preparing for an onslaught by the Careers. After our encounter with Audrey last night, the rest of us escaped and regrouped, preparing to tackle them head on. We just had to hope that it wasn't the whole alliance and maybe we'd have a shot. Lilah particularly wasn't impressed by this, who just wanted to search for the precious exit. But the rest of us agreed to deal with the Careers problem at hand first. We hadn't travelled much distance during the day, sort of just keeping to a base and awaiting someone to find us. But nobody did, all day we were on guard prepared for a battle and it never came. "The Careers must have headed to a different section," says James. "So what do we do now?" enquires Adelphus. "We've wasted a whole day and could've been getting closer to the exit," spits out Lilah. "The exit doesn't exist," replies Erraline. With her brain and incredible training score, I certainly truster her opinion. But her theory was in direct opposition to what the gamemakers had said. "There's still a chance it might be. If they said there is an exit, then there must be," Millie states. "Sure there might be. But Erraline"s right, even if it does exist I don't think it will be worth avoiding the other tributes and just taking them out," says Blade. "So again, what are we going to do about it?" asks Adelphus. "What if we go searching?" asks James. "Searching for who?" asks Millie in response. "The Careers?" I suggest looking at James who nods in response. "I suppose if a few cannons were theres today, and they were splitting up, we could have a shot?" Adelphus states in response. "I still think the exit is the way to go," Lilah blurts out. "If that's what you want love, then there's the door. Nobody is keeping you here," replies Erraline. She just said what we were all thinking, and Lilah didn't find it amusing. "Alright. We'll see the faces of those in the sky and then form a plan, and yes I agree that going after the Careers is our best bet" proclaims Blade. "Myself and Konan can head to the stream and grab us all some water, hand us your bottles," says James. I nod and grab the water bottles that everyone sticks out. It was only a few minutes walk to the stream, and James made it go even faster. He knew how to talk anybody up. "You ready to take down some Careers?" James asks as we get away from the others. "Yeah mate, we need to. We've got to get us to the end, and taking them out is the fastest way there," I reply. "What's your plan for when the Anti-Careers have to split?" James asks. He was always asking questions. "What's yours?" I state in response. We now walked upon, the stream. We took out the water bottles and began to fill them up. "I'm happy to have a small agreement with you, that when the time comes we take the others out. What do you think about that?" James states. "Would we have the numbers?" I ask. "If the Careers take a couple of them down, we could take the rest." James replies. "We need to take out Erraline before it's too late, she's our biggest threat," he goes on to say. I nod at him in agreement. "It's settled then," James responds with a smile on his face. As I finish filling up the last water bottle which is my own, I take a quick swig of it. I'm taken back a bit and James notices, looking at me confused. "The water tastes a bit different here," I say with a laughing and nervous tone. James' eyes widen. "What's wrong?" I ask but I can feel myself going feint. "Your face, you look ill." James responds, not wanting to touch me in case it was contagious. I can feel my throat starting to swell up, my airways were closing. I drop to the ground and start gasping and wheezing for air. "The water! Someone's poisoned it!" exclaims James as he kicks the bottles away. The realisation came too late, and there was nothing that anybody can do to save me. James just stayed on and watched as I lost all my oxygen and began convulsing, foaming at the mouth... BOOM!!!

Erraline Xykler (12)
I instantly stood up at the sound of the cannon. My gut told me that something was wrong. Did James and Konan have a fight with someone? Or did they fight amongst themselves? I had daggers in my hands ready to throw at the sight of danger. My alliance didn't seem as concerned, and they were confused as to why I was prepared for a battle. "That cannon could've come from anyone, don't think the worse," says Millie. I nod at her and lower my weapon. However suddenly I hear hurried footsteps coming around the maze near us. I throw my dagger to my right and it just misses James' face as he appears around the corner. "What the hell?!" James yells. I walk past him, shoulder checking him as I grab my dagger out of the stone wall that it hit. "Where's Konan?" asks Blade unfazed. "It was his cannon" replies James. The others instantly begin to get up and grab their weapons. "Who did it?" I ask James. "Someone poisoned the streams, he took a gulp of water and it wasn't long before he was down," states James. The others begin to relax, thankful that a tribute wasn't after us. "Did you see anyone else?" I ask. "The streams are all connected, someone could've poisoned them from anywhere inside the arena" says Blade dismissing my question. "Don't you ever risk my life like that again," says James angrily glaring at me. "Erraline take a walk and come back when you've calmed down," orders Blade. I would've gotten angry at an order if it wasn't what I already wanted to do. I didn't think I needed to calm down as much as the others needed to be more careful. There were no second chances here, once the game was over, it was over. I was headed towards the stream, made the most logical place to go considering everywhere else looked the same. I turned around the last corner and was surprised to see Konan's body still laying there. Usually the gamemakers are quick and picking the bodies up - unless there's somebody close near by. That's when I heard it, the voices. "Looks like it was poison," states a girl's voice. "Do you think it's the whole stream or just the bottles?" asks another timid girl. "How about you try some and we'll see?" suggests a male voice laughing. That voice I could make out as Jack from District 7 - this was the careers. Making sure to stay out of sight, I move a little closer so I can see the situation. It was Daneiris and Tess who were the two girls, and it didn't appear like they had anyone else around. "People must be close by," Daneiris commands. "What if it's the Anti-Careers? Can we take them?" asks Tess timidly again. "You're not scared are you?" probes Jack making fun of her. Geez Tess was too kind for these Hunger Games, it made an easy target. With the range of my throwing daggers I could probably get her from here, and because the other two weren't huge threats, I'm sure I could escape them. "Let's move," instructs Daneiris. Jack and her walk out of my sight, but Tess stays put too nervous to continue on. This was my shot, I hold the dagger in my hand and let it fly towards her. Tess lets out a piercing scream as it lands in her shoulder. It doesn't last for long though, as the second dagger I send make contact with her temple '''BOOM!!! '''Instantly I start running towards Tess' body - I need the daggers back. Just as I'm pulling them out, I see Daneiris and Jack emerge from behind me. They were in the way of my course back to the Anti-Careers. I couldn't take both of them, and I didn't want to throw one of my daggers in case it didn't get the kill. So i retreated, heading back to the cornucopia with two Careers on my tail. From now on, I was on my own.

Vesper Brooks (7)
Another day drew to a close, and our alliance had managed to stay out of trouble, especially considering the amount of cannons that went off today. I think I counted five or six, which I suppose given the large tribute pool isn't even that much. We were still in the hedge section of the maze, the dense rain had made it hard for us to bother trying to go anywhere. We had spent most of the day huddled in a circle trying to maintain our body warmth. At least the fact that we were all still here meant that nobody had found the exit. I can imagine some of those loners would just be searching all day and night, and the fact that they haven't found it yet showed me how hard it was going to be. But I was holding onto hope for it, because it was a better outcome than having to slaughter everyone in these games, and those in my alliance surrounding me. Carissa was planning to stay up with me as we took watch. Her purple hair was radiant under the moonlight. I was going to compliment it but it felt weird given the life or death circumstances. Oreo and Coco were struggling quite tremendously. This rain and mud was a long way from their lavish lifestyle in the capitol, and the rest of us were doing our best to support them and be there for them. Quentin was right at home, and honestly it looked like it made him feel more comfortable. Corin just always had her game face on; and it was something I admired about her, she wasn't going to let anything tear her down. The time had finally come in the night where Panem's anthem began to ring, and we looked up curiously to see who were the fallen.

The Fallen

District 2 - Tess Payne

District 9 - Audrey Erosmar

District 11 - Cloak Martins

District 12 - Konan Spielberg 

District 13 - Sonia Arakawa

I looked at Carissa. Most people would appreciate that they didn't see their district in the sky, but all we had left was Jack who joined the Careers. We both wouldn't have been sad to see him go, but neither of us wanted to actually do it. "District 2 is down to 1 tribute left," states Corin. "And it's that Phoebe girl, who went on her own right?" asks Oreo, to which I nod. "I guess Audrey is the most surprising name on that list?" asks Coco. "Cloak also was predicted a high ranking," Quentin chimes in. "Guess you can never tell what's going to happen," Carissa says sadly. "It's just less tributes we have to deal with," Corin replies trying to be motivational but coming off cold. But at the end of the day Corin was right, and we were going to have to start making some moves before other people started on us.

Luigi Iris (13)
I was still reeling from yesterday's events that I barely took notice of the fallen. All I saw was that Sonia appeared in the sky which did startle me a little. She got a bad training score and ranking, but everyone on our floor could tell she was faking. Sonia was infamous in our district, she'd murdered her parents in cold blood and done the same to her classmates. We'd all been told that she was killed trying to escape the peacekeeper's forces, that was until she appeared on reaping day. Myself, Electro and Caitlin had all avoided her, even our mentors just let left her to herself. But then again who was I to judge her? Just over 24hours ago I'd murdered my own brother. It was self-defense, and maybe it was the same for Sonia? I doubt it but honestly who cared anyway. I just didn't know what to do with myself. Did I just carry on like nothing happened? Did I wallow in sadness of Mario's death? Did I get angry at myself for taking his life away? Or should I just remain angry at the fact he tried to killed me when we were finally reunited? The last option made the most sense. I'd spent the day trying to get over it and move past it, but I just needed to be angry and plough through. After Mario I'd ran into the stone section of the maze because it was the closest nearby. My strategy was more on the side of hunting down other tributes than searching for this magical exit, but if I happened to come across it I would take it. Tomorrow was a new day, and I was going to get my mind out of the clouds and back in the game. I needed to take it day by day until I could become victorious, and from now on that's all I could think about.

Phoebe Mascilla (2)
My time in the mirror section of the maze was really altering my mental grip on reality. Having no alliance, and not running into any other tributes thus far, all I've had is my reflection to keep me company. Which would be fine if it wasn't just constantly at all hours of the day; sleep is my only escape from having to stare myself down. Don't get me wrong I still look physically good, but I can see the life draining away from me. The moon shines down on the mirrors so bright at night that this section of the maze feels like it never goes dark. Which I guess made searching for this escape easier. It was the only strategy I had to hold onto, assuming like many other tributes. I hadn't risked the cornucopia at the bloodbath, I didn't even feel safe from my own district partners. Not that that got them very far, they're all dead now. I can imagine how embarrassed the district and its citizens would be back home. Especially considering it was a quarter quell. I would be surprised if the families of my district partners would ever be able to leave their house again without being glared at or even abused. I wondered how long until the same fate would be struck upon my own family. I was really hoping that my swimming skills were going to come in handy at some point, yet here I am in a maze. No weapons and little supplies - practically just a few gulps of water left. At least there didn't appear to be any creatures roaming around the maze yet, though I was holding out on it. Just I had collected myself and was preparing to take me and my reflection on another hunt for the exit, something caught my eye. Something moving in the mirror, like somebody was near by. I blinked and blinked, waiting for it to disappear, for it to be a figment of my imagination. However the object just got bigger and bigger until I could make out a tribute - Zoey. The most deadly ranked tribute of the games. I lock eyes with her reflection. I notice two other figures standing behind her but I don't wait to figure out who they are. I scramble to my feet and bolt in the opposite direction. "Looks like we got a chase girls!" I hear Zoey scream out. I zip and weave around corners of the maze, never looking back. Unfortunately they'd come from the same direction as me last night, so I was covering new territory rather than retracing my old steps which then I would've had at least some idea where I was going. I dart my head around, I can see the fear starting to grow on my reflection. The despair is greater and is very noticeable. That's when I turn the corner to find it's a dead end, only noticing when I run smack bang into my reflection. I stumble back. I can hear the footsteps gaining, getting louder and more aggressive. I look at my reflection, to see a single tear roll down my cheek...

Brianna Burrs (7)
We'd found ourselves in the same situation as before. Our group of Careers had stumbled upon a loner tribute; this time Phoebe from District 2, and it was time to hunt her down. Yet Zoey had separated from us, going for the kill herself, and leaving Rio and me to lug around like idiots. I really was starting to become concerned about my image to the audience of the games, because whenever I got close to a kill, Zoey always took it for herself. Rio and I were like her extra bodyguards that didn't get any screen time and nobody gave a damn about. Yet Rio and I didn't let that stop us, we were still running through the maze looking for Phoebe with our weapons ready; even if our subconscious believed that Zoey wouldn't be impressed if we beat her. It certainly wasn't an easy task, because the maze meant that there was no way of tracking where Phoebe went. If we took one wrong turn and continued down that path we'd lost her. It wasn't like a chase in a forest where not only can you usually see them far off into the distance, but if you lose them you could also track them on the ground and through broken branches and what not. "Where are you Phoebe? I'm coming for you!" I hear Zoey yell out close by. "I don't think that's making it any easier," Rio says looking at me. I just roll my eyes in response. Not only because I agreed with Rio but I also was annoyed at the fact that the audience would be loving Zoey's ruthlessness and over-confidence. "We weren't that far behind her, Phoebe couldn't have gotten that far," says Rio. "You're right. Let's split up, stay within a close range and just see if she's hiding anywhere. If she's kept running we've probably already lost her," I say. Rio nods, running off to the right with her sword held out. I wondered how many dead ends there were in this maze, because I hadn't come across too many, yet I knew they were around. If Phoebe felt trapped into one, there's a chance she could still be there, hoping that we won't come across her and just give up - not that Zoey would ever. But the more I ran around and the more dead ends I checked within a close range I realised how dumb that would be. Although Phoebe didn't ally with the Careers she was still from District 2, and she wouldn't give up so easily by just standing in a dead end and just hoping she'd survive. That was the moment I realised this hunt was over, we couldn't find her now, at least we needed to regroup and go searching again. "RIO!!!" I yell out trying to find her. "I'm over here Brianna!" I hear Rio yell out close by. Hopefully we'd be able to find Phoebe within the day or so. I turn around another corner and see Rio at the end of the corridor. I notice that I startle her, and I guess my heart skipped a beat when I saw her as well. It's weird to be in a deadly maze and revealing your location, anyone could come around with a weapon. I start walking towards Rio. '''BOOM!!! '''I don't know what comes first, the cannon I hear or the katana that appears out of Rio's chest. It was Zoey. She pulls her katana out of Rio, who's body just falls helplessly as a pile on the floor. "What the hell are you doing?!" I scream out in disgust. "I thought it was Phoebe," Zoey responds coldly. "Are you kidding me?! Rio's short red hair doesn't exactly match Phoebe's white long curls!" I yell at her. "Oh whatever, don't act like she was adding much to the team. We're better off without her," says Zoey. I couldn't believe this. Of course Zoey knew what she was doing, she stabbed that katana right through Rio's back and into her heart. "Let's go. We need to find Phoebe," Zoey says brushing past me. My anger however quickly turns into fear. I wasn't worried about my image anymore as much I was worried about my safety. I was alone with this psychopath, and nothing to stop her cutting me to bits. I had to get out on my own to save myself, or find the opportunity to take her down... it was my only hope.

Last night my plans had been disturbed. I heard the last cannon before the fallen were projected while I was taking a quick bit to eat inside the cornucopia. Although I doubted it was close by I did grab a sword just in case anyone came running towards the cornucopia. Yet I pretty certain that all the tributes were deep in the maze searching for the exit and escaping the Careers. However I was surprised that I saw somebody running out of the stone section of the maze not too long after the fallen had been projected. Under the moonlight I thought I made it out to be that Erraline girl from District 12. It was odd, she ran out of the stone section, around the edges and entered the wooden section of the maze. She had never looked my way and I wondered if she had even noticed I was here. Although she did play it smart because if she had run diagonally across the field through the cornucopia, there was a chance that a minefield or two could've taken her out. I'd spent all of yesterday removing them from some of the pedestals because they were crucial in my plan. I was beyond lucky because the double amount of tributes meant double the amount of explosives I had to work with. That meant that I could plant a few as landmines to protect myself if needed. Moreover, considering I wasn't proficient in any combat or type of weapon it didn't make sense for me to chase after Erraline last night, especially considering Daneiris and Jack also emerged from the stone section not too long afterwards. I remember rolling my eyes instantly, and thinking about how they weren't supposed to come back. Yet I had raised my hand as a sort of wave to acknowledge them and let them know I wasn't going to try anything. "Have you seen anybody come out?" Jack had asked pointing towards the stone section. His tone wasn't very serious, like he didn't care at all. "No, no I don't think so," I had responded. I lied because what good what it have done to tell the truth? They would've questioned why I didn't do something and it looked like they weren't planning on heading back out into the maze anytime soon. Which I had assumed correct, because it was now mid-morning and they had made themselves comfortable back at the cornucopia. I understood that they didn't want to go back out, and believe me I wasn't about to take their place, yet their presence bugged me. I was still working on my master plan with the explosives, and although Jack couldn't seem to care and Daneiris wasn't questioning me, I could sense their curiosity and eyes on my back as I manoeuvred the explosives out of the pedestals. I wasn't hoping that tomorrow I could execute my plan, and boy did I have big plans. I just had to make it through the night, and though I wasn't overly worried about the others harming me, I wasn't stupid not to completely rule it. But I hadn't told them about the landmines around the cornucopia, all it would take was one wrong step and they'd be done, and I had feeling that these two idiots wouldn't know what hit them - literally.

Another cannon had already sounded off today. The sound sent shivers down my spine, and my mind would begin to race about who it could be and what could've happened. Undoubtedly my mind always shot to my district partners, who certainly had killer's blood within them, but I still worried about them. We'd already lost Breccan, and he'd been incredibly nice to me during the time we spent together. During the bloodbath I found myself on a pedestal near the wooden section of the maze, and the low risk allowed me to grab a small backpack and make a run towards. However I regret my decision now; because this section of the maze doesn't allow for my skills in camouflage to be utilised at all. Hence this morning I'd spent my time heading towards the hedge section of the maze. Although I was without a doubt lost. Yesterday I had gone to the stream connecting the wooden section to the hedge section but had decided it was too risky in the hedge section of the maze because I assumed it was a popular choice for tributes. Now I realised it was too risky to be exposed in this wooden section. However I had no sense of direction and no way of telling if I was walking around in a square or not. Although I had supplies to leave marks on the maze to track my movements, I was too scared that a more skilled tribute would easily hunt me down. I stopped to take a quick break for a drink of water. Of course I was rationing my supply but my guess was it would only last another day or two if I was lucky. I wasn't use to the harsh sun and the gamemakers ensured it was burning down on us; there was hardly any shade during the day. I didn't want to accidentally end back up at the cornucopia, that was my biggest fear at the moment. However to my dismay that didn't last long. I could sense something was wrong, and that was before I could smell the scent of smoke. I started to pick up my pace, and it wasn't long before I could hear the crackling of roaring flames. The heat was rising, and as I turned around the corner I let out a loud scream. All I could see was blaze headed for my direction; the wooden walls and the area between them was just covered completely in flames. This wasn't somebody's personal fire gone wrong; the gamemakers were heating things up. I ran to my left and continued straight in that direction hoping it would lead me to the stream, with the flames on my right and closing in I had to be careful not to take a turn that would lead me in that direction. Suddenly I turned the corner to see a dead end in the maze. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I turned around to head back and take the last intersection at the opposite direction. That was when I heard a woman's screams of agony. I followed the pain I heard, and around a few corners I saw a tribute being engulfed by the flames. She turned around, it was Sophia from District 11. I'd just been through here and I hadn't seen her; she must of been following me. "HELP!!" she screams with her hands out. I start to approach her as she falls over escaping the blaze but still covered in flames. I go over to her as she's on the ground. "Make it stop... make it stop!" she pleads to me. There was nothing I could do and I just stared at her in dismay. I just got so lost in her despair that I didn't notice the blaze about to hit me. The pain on my neck caught my attention - the back of my clothes and hair were on fire. I screamed and bolted off, leaving my bag behind. I'm whacking my back as I use all the energy I have to weave through the maze trying to escape the blaze. '''BOOM!!! '''I'm sure that was Sophia's cannon. I don't have the endurance to keep up the pace required and I notice the blaze starting to gain on me. The fire on my back was still going and the pain was nearly unbearable. I thanked the adrenaline for keeping some of the pain away. Just as I thought there was no escaping I saw a clearing and the stream at the end of the corridor. I used all the strength I had left, the blaze nipping at my legs as I ran. Without a blink I dived into the stream to extinguish the flames on my body. I scrambled out of the stream thinking I was going to have to keep running, yet the blaze wouldn't come any further than the stream. I could breath a sigh of relief. I felt my back to find charred clothes and I had to re-submerge my neck in the water to ease the pain. Although I'd narrowly avoided death, I had been injured and it wasn't going to be easy to recover.

The cannon wasn't the first indication of danger however it certainly confirmed what we were thinking. I was amazed that we even heard it over the roaring of the flames. They weren't that close to us yet, their sound, their smell and their heat would've suggested otherwise. Myself, Elias and Paulette were standing in a circle, trying to decide what we should do. Since leaving the cornucopia yesterday we had just been tracking through the maze heading further and further out, hence even if we could make it back there wasn't time. "Who knows when the blaze will stop?" Paulette yells to us over the ruckus. Elias had just frozen. Usually he was ordering us around, yet the fire had rendered him helpless. I knew he wasn't a fan of fire, but this fear was to a whole other level. Believe me I was afraid of it too, but as if the gamemakers would let that happen. "They're probably just trying to get rid of some useless tributes" I yell out. Paulette was still in a positive mood given the circumstances, but it wasn't because she wasn't worried like me, but rather that was just her personality; which at this point I was over it. "The blaze won't even come near us" I continue to scream. "Do we want to take that chance?" Paulette asks avoiding my eyes and looking directly at Elias. "I'm not staying to find out" he grunts back at us. Paulette nods, grabs his arm and pulls him back from the direction we just came from. I just rolled my eyes and began chasing after them. This really wasn't necessary, cannon's had been going off steadily all games and I'm sure the audience had plenty of entertainment. As if the gamemakers needed a fire to threaten the Careers, that would be ridiculous. However clearly I was the only one who thought so because Paulette and Elias were off at full speed. I was struggling to keep up with them. "Hey guys!!" I would try to yell out to get them to let me catch up, but my voice was no match for the roaring blaze. It was certainly gaining on us, but I knew it would bypass us. It got to the point where with the immense heat I just couldn't keep up the pace and had to stop. But of course the others didn't notice, ugh, I would just have to find them after this event was all over. I continued walking just to keep moving and not let the heat consume me. I turned the corner to see the blaze blocking my path ahead. I rolled my eyes and turned around to go backwards, but the blaze had overrun that as well. I just stood where I was, clearly the blaze was just going to circle around me. Yet out of nowhere it jumped at me, lashing onto my arm. I screamed out; more at the fact that I was watching my skin bubble up rather than the pain. I scrambled backwards. "What in the HELL are you doing?!" I screamed out looking around at the cameras that I knew would be on me. The blaze was coming at me from both sides, I didn't know what to do. "I'm too beautiful to go out burning!" I yell out to nobody. It was the last thing I could get out before both my arms, legs, torso were attacked by the fire. I think I had gone numb to the pain, which I found out to be wrong when my hair and face were also consumed... BOOM!!!

Electro Matrimine (13)
Another cannon, and it wasn't hard to guess where it came from. Harvey, Mag, and myself were already running, doing anything we could to get out of the way of this monstrous blaze. Not going to lie I wondered if it was even worth the effort, because was there even any chance at escaping this? Certainly there wasn't a high chance of it, but surely it had to be possible. Harvey being the quickest was leading the way, with Mag following up behind me. It didn't appear that we had a strategy for what direction we were taking, just as long as we kept moving. "How much further!" Harvey screamed out in anger. He too was starting to realise that maybe there was no way out of it. Interestingly I had always been hoping that I wouldn't die at another tribute's mercy, but being here in front of the blaze I would've much rather have taken a slice or two from a sword instead. Luckily because the maze was open above there wasn't a problem with smoke, but there was nothing to assist with the heat that was consistently engulfing us. I looked back at Mag; even though there wasn't any smoke her rainbow lushest hair looked bleaker than normal and not as vibrant. Like she'd drained it of energy to utilise in her chance to escape this fire and survive another day. Out of nowhere I hear Mag yell out, "we're going in the wrong direction!" I stop and look back at her, but Harvey must not of heard her because he didn't stop. Or if he did hear her, he didn't care. I look back to see Harvey gone, and I had no idea what direction he took. "Harvey!" I yell out but it put no dent in the roaring of the blaze. "He's gone," Mag says pulling me to follow her. I obeyed without question, but I knew that Harvey hadn't gone this way. Although Mag and I were giving it everything we had, the blaze was still gaining on us quickly. '''BOOM!!! '''Mag and I gave each other a glance, both knowing that it was Harvey's cannon. Suddenly the blaze appeared directly behind us, and unnaturally a fireball spat out in our direction. Mag was quick enough in her reflexes to duck, but I wasn't as smart. My left arm was covered in flames, and the blast was so powerful it had knocked me over. I could feel my skin melting, yet the pain was somewhat mild to what I would've expected. The next thing I knew Mag was yanking me back on my feet and we were off on the run again. I don't know how we managed it, but just as I had given up and shut my eyes, Mag pulled us into a clearing with the stream separating the wooden section of the maze with the mirror section. She dunked my body in the stream to extinguish the flames, and we both looked back in fear to see the blaze magically kept at bay in the wooden section. I looked up at Mag in relief, she had without a doubt saved my life. However all I could see was her looking back at me in horror. Not in fear but rather in disgust and distrust. I followed her eyes to my left arm where the flames previously were. My skin was red but I had no scaring or charing, it was like I hadn't been affected at all. That was when I knew; the gamemakers had used the blaze to show that what they'd turned me into was protected from fire. Mag's face was still contorted in disgust, and in the moment I could tell I had lost her trust. The gamemakers may have not killed me in the blaze but they had shown off their creation like they promised; and Mag did not like what she saw.

Everyone was on high alert given the symphony of cannons that had sounded in the space of roughly thirty minutes. It wasn't beyond belief to assume that these deaths weren't natural - and by natural I mean by at the hands of another tribute. I guess I had been curious to how long it would take for the gamemakers to start their tricks and tortures considering it was a Quarter Quell. Although I think we all heard the feint sound of a roaring fire blaze in the distance, it was by far the smell that was giving it away. It was like the gamemakers were artificially spraying the smoke around the arena to let everyone know what had happened - and more importantly to remind us of what they were capable of. If I had to guess it would've been in the wooden section of the maze which I guess was somewhat logical. Honestly it was surprising that it hadn't killed off more tributes than what it did. "What do you think was the point?" asked Lilah innocently. "Do they need one?" James blatantly responded. "Just to intimidate us," states Millie looking at Lilah. "I'm more concerned about the lack of cannons," I say to the group which receives a widened eye response. "I mean if that fire wiped out a whole quarter of the maze and there weren't that many cannons it must mean that the tributes are more concentrated in the other sections," I go on to say. "True, the other tributes are still a higher threat than the gamemakers are at this point" Adelphus states in support. "Awesome... what are we going to do?" asks Millie. The anti-career's had really struggled early in the games. We'd shrunk from 11 tributes at the outset to 5 standing around here in a circle now. Of course Erraline leaving had come as a shock. Last night when we heard the last cannon I truly believed it was her, but rather it seems she took out another tribute and made a break for it while she could. "I still think we need to head back towards the cornucopia and try to take down some careers," I say trying to convince the others of my plan. "I'm telling you they're not going to be there" hastily replies James. "Someone will be there," replies Adelphus. "Exactly, and the five of us will be able to take whoever is left," I say confidently. We'd all received relatively high scores from training, so I knew we all had it within us, but I just needed those same people to show up and commit to doing whatever it took to win. "Alright, it's the only plan we have so lets head back" says Millie. The others all slightly nod, except for James. "Come on, what else are you going to do?" I ask him. "Fine, but this better be worth it," he responds shoulder charging past me and taking the lead heading back to the cornucopia. Surely this idea would result in the death of some tributes; just hopefully it wouldn't be mine.

It appears that the rain that smothered me in the hedge section of the maze yesterday took a deadly form of fire somewhere else in the maze today. I was utilising the shock of the gamemakers intervention to throughly look for the exit. While most tributes would be stopped, trying to calm themselves and avoid coming across any of the other tributes, I would be exploring my way to victory. During the bloodbath I had scavenged a backpack which I ensured had some water and small rations inside. It also held a dagger which was surprising. I had entered into the wooden section originally, but during the first day had changed my mind, making my way into the hedge section. My backpack had managed as some small shelter from the rain yesterday, and since it was covered in mud and I had consumed most of my supplies I decided to leave it behind - it would only slow me down. I felt a tinge of luck being reaped for these games. The exit escape meant that I could become victorious without having to resort to violence. Believe me, I was prepared to do what it took to win, but if it could be avoided why wouldn't I jump at the chance? With the late afternoon setting in, it was just myself and my dagger looking for the exit. I was slightly jogging through, using my dagger to hack at the hedge maze walls just to check if they held the escape. I didn't stop and I didn't give up. Hours went by, as I weaved through the maze and stabbed at the walls of the maze, yet it all paid off. Just as the sun was about to dip below the walls of the maze, I felt my dagger go deeper into the hedge than usual. After attempting this all day; I could easily tell the difference. I intensified my pace, using my dagger to cut a whole in the hedge of the maze. I grabbed loose branches and logs with my left hand to get through quicker. I didn't care about how loud I was being or how obvious I was making this hole in the wall - because this was the exit! I saw through my hole in the hedge a black wall on the other side with a single normal door. When the hole finally appeared big enough I jumped through. I bolted over to the door and ripped it open. I expected to see a crowd of people cheering, or perhaps the gamemakers prepared to offer me champagne to celebrate. To my dismay it was a pitch black corridor. I still held out hope. I guess the arena couldn't be right at the gamemakers' door, I guess I had some more walking to do. It took a while but eventually I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I couldn't contain my excitement! I bolted towards it, this was it, this was where the crowds and glory were going to be. However as my eyes adjusted to the light all I saw were stairs entering what looked like a glass box. The stairs were right at the end of the corridor so I had no option but to continue forward. I guess I had be cleansed and cleaned before I was paraded around the Capitol, and this was probably just the place they did that I thought as I entered the glass box. There was nobody around, I could see my feint reflection in the glass because inside the box was all lit up, but beyond that it was just more darkness. I turned around, expecting to look back down the dark corridor I just emerged from but it was gone, replaced with another panel of glass. My heart began to race, and I looked upwards to see another panel of glass - this truly was a box and I was trapped within. I could tell that something was going to happen, I just didn't know what. I still had my dagger, and without thinking I chucked it towards the panel of glass opposite me, hoping it would smash it and I could escape. But nothing of the sort happened, and the dagger bounced off the glass, heading straight back for me. I scrambled backwards throwing myself against the wall hoping to avoid its path. I screamed out in pain. I didn't get lucky and the dagger had lodged itself in my upper left thigh. Now I was furious. "What the hell is going ON?! I escaped! I'm free! LET ME GO!" I screamed out hoping that somebody was listening. But nothing happened. In a fit of rage, I ripped the dagger out of my thigh, hobbled back over to other panel of glass and tried to stab the wall with the dagger myself. But again it would just bounce off, with so much force I thought my wrist might snap. I fell to the floor, the amount of blood I was losing out of my thigh was making me light headed. I shut my eyes and began to cry, it was the only emotion left I could feel. However I suddenly felt a wave of water crash against me. It wasn't my amount of tears, but rather the box was starting to fill with water. The fear set in even further, although I thought I was already at capacity. It was rising quickly. I was still on the ground, and it already was up to my torso. I was still bleeding from my injury and it was turning the water into a dark red sludge - it was disgusting. As it reached my chin I knew I had to get up. The pain in my leg was excruciating. I started banging on the glass panel crying out for help. But to no avail, the water continued to rise and rise. By this point I was floating off the ground already. I was holding onto hope that perhaps the roof glass panel was loose and I could push it off. But when the water rose me up, and I tried it wouldn't budge. I gasped for the last few breaths of air I knew I would take in my life. Within a few seconds the water submerged the whole box and I was holding my breath in the bloody water. As I tried to come to terms with the face of death, I opened my mouth and swallowed the water that filled the extra space. I just swallowed and swallowed more water, wheezing and spluttering; my brain begging me to stop..... BOOM!!!

As nightfall set, another cannon sounded.... never a dull moment. Although I'm referring to the audience that is. I was rather bored, and the highlight of my day was going to the fallen shown in the sky and see who hadn't made it through Day 3. Our alliance had stayed put in the hedge section of the maze by a majority decision; opting to wait until the numbers died down before going after anybody else. It was only Corin and Coco who wanted to venture out hunting so to speak. I personally voted against it because I didn't see the rewards as being worth the immense risk. Beyond that, I didn't really want to be running around in the heat that the gamemakers curated today. I swear, yesterday I was shivering in the pouring rain and getting covered in disgusting mud, and today I was sweating my weight out due to the heat - what would tomorrow bring? It was surprising how quickly I was beginning to feel the pressure of what it would take to win these games. By that I mean how; it was only the end of Day 3 and I already felt like I needed to contemplate leaving my alliance. I didn't want to have to fight them, and although I trusted them, I didn't want to provide them with the opportunity to take me out. Not only that but there was a part of me that wondered whether I could actually do what it took and kill all of these fellow teenagers and young adults. I see Coco suddenly stand up, clearly leaning her body out to listen to her surroundings. "Did you guys hear that?" she whispers. I shake my head and the others also look confuse. Then as everyone becomes completely silent, I can hear it; the close footsteps of tributes. The footsteps are loud but not incredibly; like it was a small alliance or something. I see Coco point to Corin and myself and she signals for us to follow her. I widen my eyes and begin to shake my head but Coco had already turned around and headed off. Corin grabs my arm, and yanks me away. She puts her finger to her lips signalling for the others to remain quiet. Corin held out her sword, whilst Coco and I just had hunting knives. We catch up to Coco who had stopped at a corner of the maze and was peering around. Without thinking, I walked right past her and stuck my head out. But as quickly as Coco and Corin yanked my back, it was already too late. I'd made eye contact with Eugene, and I heard somebody else yell out "There!". The three of us girls turn around and run, making sure to stick together. At least the maze gave us a fighting chance considering there are a number of ways we could've gone. We were out of sight by the time they turned the corner, and I heard Tristver tell them to split up. I prepare myself to keep running, but Coco just remains silent and still, continually looking around until eventually she walks off around another corner. "Harry! I told you I was coming for you!" I hear her yell out. "Look who it is... all alone are we?" says Harry. On cue, Corin and I walk out behind her. "Same..." says Harry smirking. I see Eugene approach out of the darkness behind him, and I turn around to see Tristver creeping up behind us. I look at Corin; we were surrounded by Careers and there was no way out.

Eugene Watson (4)
"Get out of here Eugene, all we want is him," Coco states authoritatively. I just smirk and shrug at her. "You want him, you got him," I say chuckling as I shove Harry to the ground in front of Coco. I see Tristver ready to pounce on the two girls behind her, and I hold up a hand to tell him to wait. Coco just stares at me confused. "Come on, I don't have all day" I tell her. "What the hell man?" Harry asks looking back up at me. My response is simple; I pull my leg back and swing it right across his stupid face. I hear one of the girls scream; probably Coco. I think the kick was powerful enough to break his nose. "Tristver and I will do just fine without you mate, but it was great to know you" I say laughing again. Harry scrambles up and brushes past Coco and the girls trying to make a run for it, but Tristver stops him. He punches his skull which knocks him back on the ground. The two other girls split apart making way for Coco, who towers above him holding her wimpy little knife. "I knew you didn't have it in you," Harry blurts out through all the blood in his mouth. He certainly wasn't wrong. "You want a hand Coco?" I yell out. "Shut up!" she responds. "Then hurry UP!" I exclaim. Coco raises the knife above Harry, and just starts shaking. I see one of the other girls, Corin I think it is, look at who I believe is Oreo and nods her heads towards Harry. "Coco," I state mischievously. "I... I.... I..." she can't formulate a response. Then Oreo just plunges her knife into Harry's stomach. "This is for Alfred..... rot in hell" she says passionately. Oreo twists the knife in his stomach; Harry's antagonising laughs turn into screams of agony. Then just as I thought she was done, Oreo ripped the knife and plunged it back into Harry's throat. '''BOOM!!! '''It was quite impressive honestly, something worthy of the Careers. Oreo rips her knife back out of Harry's throat; her hands and arms covered in his blood and went to console Coco, who was crying by this point. That was when the girls realised though that myself and Tristver were still here. Corin held her sword steadily ready to fend us off. "You know what, let me make you a deal. A trade... you got Harry, give us Coco," I say. "What?" Coco asks, halting her tears. "You had to know that abandoning the Careers was never going to get you anywhere love. The time has come for you to pay," I say smirking again. "And the other two?" Tristver chimes in. "Give them a head start, we'll find them within the day I bet" I yell back. Corin and Oreo just look at each other, and I can tell they want to take it. "Clocks ticking girls. Give me Coco or none of you will make it through the night," I say. Corin just nods at Oreo and slowly walks past Tristver, running off into the night. "Noooo, please Oreo, don't do this," Coco pleads. "You did this to yourself by getting involved with them," Oreo responds avoiding Coco's eye contact. Coco tries to grab Oreo and get her to stay, but Oreo brushes her off and follows after Corin. Tristver comes forward, expecting Coco to run. I'm surprised that she didn't. "Coco... are you ready for death?" I ask bluntly. "It's already done.." she responds. Coco turns around, dropping her knife. I see blood pouring out of her wrists, and she feints to the floor. "Seriously?" I say rolling my eyes. Tristver just shrugs, and turns to begin chasing after Corin and Oreo. I go to follow him, "have fun bleeding out love," I whisper as I pass Coco.... BOOM!!!

Solar Powers (10)
Lunar and I cautiously continued on our trek through the maze as more cannons sounded. Though we were pretty certain that we wouldn't run into any other tributes tonight. As we were on the edge of the mirror section of the maze today, we watched as the wooden section slowly succumbed to the gamemakers' blaze. The dull and plain wood that created the maze walls were now all charred and burnt from the heat of the flames. It had happened hours ago, but nobody could deny the strong waft of smoke that continued to linger around. Lunar and I had made the strategic decision to move ourselves into the burnt wooden section of the maze, because since the blaze it would have been emptied out from the other tributes. Hence it was a safer section to lay low within for a while. "Let's just pray that nobody else has the same idea," I had said. "It's possible because there isn't any tributes in this section and it's unheard of that the gamemakers will meddle with this section again. Although I still think it's unlikely anybody else would want to come back after what happened," Lunar had responded with. I was just thankful that we were both not only still alive, but that we were still together; I just wondered how much longer it would last. Yet my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the anthem, and Lunar and I shot our heads to the sky to see who was gone today.

District 10 - Rio Waterborne

District 11 - Sophia Fallows

"We're the last District 10 has to hope for," Lunar states looking at me sadly. I nodded, trying to add in a hopeful smile. However I was doubtful that either of us could take this to victory. Every night more and more ruthless tributes appeared in the sky. It freaked me out to know that nobody was really safe, that within the next 24 hours how many other people would be gone? Would I even be here to see who was in the sky tomorrow night?

After looking at the fallen, I felt even more alone. Everybody was gone, why did everybody around me disappear? I was the last tribute from District 11 left standing, which I'm sure surprised the audience. Though in some sick way I knew that they would be loving it. I was a legacy, with both my parents and adoptive brother being reaped for past hunger games. It was because of this that I could feel the camera's on me all day, watching and waiting to see if I disappear as well just like my lost family members. I wondered if any relatives had both won a hunger games? Perhaps within a career district, but still it was an unlikely scenario considering this was only the 150th attempt to achieve it. As I sat under the stars, surrounded by the cold walls of the stone section of the maze, I wondered whether there was anybody out there who believed I would become victorious. And by that, I mean truly believe it, not just hope. I know that I for sure wasn't one of those people; I was shocked that I'd even made it this far. I was trying to search for the exit, however I wasn't exactly trying extremely hard, even though my life depended on it. I don't know it just didn't seem right. There was no way that the gamemakers just placed an exit somewhere, that any random tribute could just come across and get out hands free. At the very least it would have to be a fan favourite, right? How many of those were there? Today saw the departure of another two Capitol tributes and two tributes from District 1. So perhaps the fan favourite was an underdog? It would have to still be someone who received a high training score; a tribute who the audience believed could make it to victory. That Erraline girl from District 12 fitted the description, and she was so young, I don't know how she pulled it off. But it didn't matter because who knew which section would go up in a blaze tomorrow? I guess that's why the gamemakers enjoy intervening; it doesn't matter how good you are with a blade, because it isn't going to help against a blaze. I just had to keep my head down and hope that no natural disasters or tributes came my way, then maybe I'd make it through tomorrow if I was lucky.

Quentine Ryes (9)
We had spent the whole night running throughout the hedge section of the maze. After Oreo, Coco and Corin had gone off last night; Clarissa, Vesper and I, even without saying anything, all knew it wouldn't end well. This of course was confirmed by a cannon, and the second cannon - who we now know was for Coco - sounded just before Corin and Oreo ran back to our group and told us to run for our lives. We didn't look back, we didn't slow down; and we didn't even look up to see the fallen. It was only as the sun began to rise, and hadn't seen Tristver or Eugene at all, that we felt safe enough to set up camp again and tackle another day. While we were running, we got last nights events out of Corin and Oreo; and it sounded brutal. Everything from the way Oreo killed Harry to the fact that they both left Coco to die. Clarissa and Vesper had made their feelings clear about the situation; they did not approve of the decisions Corin and Oreo made and believed that in the same situation they would've done better. Which I'm not buying. I also wasn't impressed by the fact that members of my alliance were willing to leave one another at a very important time, however I understood that it was a point where there was nothing Corin and Oreo could do without seriously putting their lives on the line. Corin I could understand, she was always very analytical and driven; she was looking out for herself. Oreo on the other hand..... she was different. Not only had she just brutally murdered another tribute, she had left her own district partner to die and couldn't seem to care less. All I had left in these games was Daneiris and she joined the Careers; yet it would still give me emotions to see her up in the sky. I was quite concerned that this was going to send Oreo into madness, and she'd turn on us. Looking into her eyes it was like her soul had faded away from her body; but rather than it being like she was empty, it had been replaced with an intense desire. Whether that desire was to slaughter everyone or just to become the victor of these games I didn't know. But let's be honest, it was probably both because the two aren't exactly mutually exclusive. I began to think back to the days I would spend in District 9, grabbing any spare second I could to read. This situation made me think of a few murder mystery novels I had read in my time (it was far from may favourite genre - it just hit too close to home); a quiet girl gets her first taste of blood and develops an insatiable thirst for it. I didn't want to be one of Oreo's oblivious victims that was just hoping she would spare them. I needed to convince the others that it was in our best interests to get rid of her. Or at least warn them of my plan; because I too was here to play and here to win.

Millie Lakeside (6)
We were still trudging along heading back to the cornucopia. We'd stopped to take time to sleep overnight, which I appreciated because it was delaying the battle that was awaiting us at the end of our trek. For all we knew it was the best Careers who stayed behind, and we were just heading into an onslaught. The fact that made me even more nervous however, was how we were nearly at the halfway point regarding the number of tributes left. I remember the numbers are somewhere in the low thirties and once we hit twenty-eight thats half the amount of tributes gone. I suppose I should've been impressed that I've made it this far, but it just meant that it was getting closer and closer to the point where it was a free-for-all. I didn't think it was a stretch to assume that the game would be beyond the halfway point after today; or maybe it was, I didn't know what to expect. "Millie! Lilah! Hurry it up!" I hear James yell out in the distance. Us girls were slowing them down because we weren't that excited about making it back to the cornucopia anytime soon. The boys on the other hand were eager; the determination in their eyes bouncing off the shiny rock walls of the maze like sunlight. I wondered what the plan was when we arrived. How would we scope out the cornucopia before making ourselves known; considering it was essentially a wide open field. Were we just going to all run out like a mob and just hope we could defeat whoever we came up against? What we were going to do if we're overpowered; do we have a retreat plan? Are we sticking together or is it everyone for themselves? Did we have a backup plan? Did we have a retreat plan? The list of questions just kept getting longer and longer, and heart began to intensify its beats, and I could hear it in my ears. It was just this endless cycle, because I began to think if I was already this worried now, how would I be when we were actually attacking? But I just had to breathe and hold myself together. Lilah and I finally caught up to the boys, who were stood at a crossroads. Although ironically I was at the back, it was my sense of direction the group was using to guide us back to the cornucopia. I couldn't explain it, but I could just remember where we'd been and what direction we needed to take to get to a certain place. I pointed left at the crossroad and we all took off. At least I was making some positive contribution; because I didn't know if I had it in me to kill someone beyond self-defence. I was only 12 years old for god sake! The only reason I got such a high score as I did in training was because I showed off my resourcefulness and survival skills. None of which are necessary for these games in this stupid maze arena. I felt disadvantaged and I felt powerless. I was going to die at the whim of the gamemakers.

Jack Wang (7)
I was taking the downtime to bake in the sun and finally get a good all-rounded tan. Back in District 7 the sun was always too harsh that I just turned red and began to peel. But I had a good feeling this time would be different, and I needed to be prepared for my victory tour dates later in the year anyway. I was becoming insatiably bored. Like really really bored. Yesterday we'd just sat around and spectated the fire that rampaged over the wooden section of the maze. Daneiris and I had our weapons ready to attack anybody that ran out, but alas nobody did. I'd be surprised if Alkaline had even noticed the massive blaze; because he'd spent all day with his head in the pedestals removing their explosives. Even now he was over near the stone section of the maze planting and playing around with those explosives. It seemed dangerous but I didn't care as long as I wasn't on the receiving end. What I did care about was Daneiris. I was here, with my shirt ripped off, ready to be her eye candy and I couldn't even see her. It's not like she went back into the maze though, so I got up and started looking around the cornucopia for her. "Daneiris?!" I yelled out. It didn't take me long to search the place, and she was no where to be found. "Hey Alkaline! Have you seen Daneiris, I can't find her?" I yell out, but he doesn't even respond. I start making my way over to him. There hasn't been a cannon all day, and she was definitely here this morning. I wondered if the audience was getting fed up with the lack of deaths? It had been pretty constant all throughout thus far, and now it just seemed to have halted. I finally made it close enough to Alkaline that I knew he would hear me. "Have you seen Dan-" I begin to say. "I thought I explicitly told you to not interrupt me," Alkaline responds angrily. "Whatever. I can't find Daneiris, she must have run off. Looks like it's just you and me here now," I say to explain the situation. "You're still talking" Alkaline replies. "Seriously mate chill out, what are you even doing over here?" I ask, fed up with his tone. Alkaline just lets out this angry groan, and I duck as he throws this chunk of metal at me. It misses me, and rolls on the ground before it suddenly explodes behind me. The force chucking me forward face-first into the ground, and the ringing in my ears takes over. "Did you just chuck a grenade at me?!" I yell in disgust at Alkaline. I look back at the crater that has formed in the ground from the explosion and realise that could have been my limbs. Alkaline begins running towards me, and I quickly scramble back to my feet to start running towards the cornucopia. But Alkaline catches up before I can even start, and tackles me back down to the ground. I'm surprised at the body strength he has. Alkaline flips me over to my back and starts bashing his fists in my face. I was already disorientated from the explosion and now I could hardly see. I get a sneaky uppercut to his chin, which gives me the opportunity to wrestle him off me and again try to make it back to the cornucopia. I knew Alkaline didn't have the weapons training, and that if I could just get my hands on one I could take him down. But as I get to my feet, I realise I'm so disorientated that I can only stumble around. I'm no match for Alkaline's ferocious running. He tackles me to the ground again, and I try to kick him off. But he pulls out a knife and stabs in down through my shorts, just missing my thigh, but now pinning me to the ground. Alkaline grabs another knife and does it to my other side. I was just starting to get my bearings back, before Alkaline grabs my skull and starts bashing it over and over again into the ground. "THIS. WILL. GET. YOU. TO. SHUT. UP." I faintly hear him yell as my head goes back and forth and starts creating another crater in the ground. I can't even do anything as Alkaline rips the knives out of the ground, and throws me over his back, carrying me back into the cornucopia. When we arrives, he chucks me up against a wall, but I'm too disorientated to escape. Alkaline walks off and I think he's going to let me live for a split second. But then I see him pull out a tray of spear's that are all pointing upwards and brings them closer to where I was laying. "Please... please.. I won't even move a muscle. You don't have to do this," I plead. I think I see Alkaline roll his eyes. He starting building a platform of boxes before he grabs me again and chucks me over his back, climbing on the platform in front of the spears. "Nooo! NOOO!" I scream out. Without hesitating, Alkaline wips me off his back and shoves me throat down onto the spears below. BOOM!!!

Daneiris Montreist (9)
I couldn't believe it; but it was me.... I, Daneiris had found the exit of 150th annual Hunger Games. I was walking down a darkened corridor, presumably to an opening back in the Capitol. I had to admit, up until this point I hadn't really had any faith in my ability to win; to beat the other tributes by force. Had I known in advance there was the ability to win by finding an exit I never would have allied with the Careers, because it meant I had never had a free moment alone to truly search for it. But this morning, I was searching the cornucopia for all of our food rations, so that myself, Jack and Alkaline could ration them in advance. However my primary reason for doing this was just to avoid Jack and keep myself busy. Yet as I moved around crates searching for food, I randomly picked up a box that I thought would be full of something but it actually hardly weighed anything. The box was hallow at the bottom, and when I looked at where it had been placed on the ground, now there was the pressurised vault door in its place. I shot my head around, making sure that Jack or Alkaline weren't near by, and when I had my chance, I used all my strength to twist the handle and pull the door open. I quickly jumped into the open door in the ground and shut the vault door behind me. I was submerged in darkness but I didn't care, I just started walking. Of course it made logical sense when you think about it - the exit was right at the centre of the arena, within the cornucopia the whole time. The Careers wouldn't have been looking for it and they would've been defending the cornucopia and by extension; the exit. I couldn't contain my excitement, and began to run towards a small light that was appearing at the end of the tunnel. My life was finally about to get better, my rough childhood would turn into an adulthood of fame and fortune - but most importantly; peace. As I got closer I began to hear the rush of roaring winds - as if I was high above the ground. I cautiously continued on, and when my eyes adjusted to the new light after exiting the tunnel, all I saw was that I was indeed high in the air. I was standing on a platform with harsh winds fighting to push me off to the ground miles below. In front of me was a tightrope; stretched out for metres, leading to a golden door on the platform across from me at the other end. I went to step back into the corridor to escape the wind but the opening had closed itself up. I curled up in a ball on the platform to try and keep me warm and steady so I could think. My guess was that the gamemakers were just adding in another challenge to make it more interesting for the audience; I'd done nothing to get to this point, hadn't had to fight any tribute off. All I needed to do was focus and reach the golden door and I would be free. I could do that; right? I considered myself to have good agility, so I could use that speed to get across before I knew it. There was no point in me staying on this platform curled up, so I stood up; with all the confidence I could find. I put one foot onto the tightrope. It seemed quite stiff, like it wasn't slack, however the wind would make it wobble a little bit. I held my arms out to put my body in a 't' shape position, and stepped my other foot out onto the tightrope. I was holding my breath. I looked down at certain death below me - why did I look down?! I managed to get another step forward. The wind began to pick up, and my body began to shake vigorously. I want to step forward again but my light weight was no match for the wind that just attacked me. I let out a piercing scream and shut my eyes. Although I may have accepted death in that moment my subconscious didn't give up. As I began to fall my hands reached out and grabbed the tightrope just in time, stopping me from plummeting to the ground below. Suddenly I had new hope. I wasn't in a great position - my upper body was already tired - but climbing across with my arms was a safer road to success. Luckily I also had the ability to hook my feet on the rope when I needed to take a break. After what felt like forever, of just focusing on my survival and moving forward, I made it to the other side of the tightrope. I used my last bit of strength to pull myself back over the tightrope and climb onto the platform. I didn't even take a moment to rest before grabbing the golden handle and twisting it furiously to get the door open. To my frustration it wouldn't budge. I began to bang and kick the door thinking it was stuck. "A bit of help here please!" I yelled out, hoping the gamemakers would come and rescue me. However instead the platform I was standing on began to rumble and shake; as if it was about to plummet to the ground. At the last second I jumped with my hands out for the tightrope again as I felt the platform beneath my feet disappear. However the tightrope also began to fall, like a giant swing as the side I was on was no longer attached but where I had started still was. It was too late by the time I realised my mistake. The swinging tightrope swung me and my skull with all the g-forces right into the opposite cliff-face, I didn't even have time to scream. BOOM!!!

Torin Fowlere (12)
I had been laying in the exact same position in the exact same spot for two whole days now. Lucky I had intaked as much water as physically possible while it was raining, because ever since it had been nothing but a baking sun. I was quite concerned because the mud I had camouflaged myself in had now set like rock hard cement, pinning me in the ground. I was hoping I could get out if I needed too, I just hadn't tried because there was it wasn't necessary. I was surprised that I could handle this under the pressure of these games being life or death. I guess it was because I was used to the claustrophobic mines back in District 12. However my plan was working like a charm, I was still here and the other tributes were dropping like flies. A few more days like this and I could seriously have a chance at victory. Considering I was just laying here and not exerting much energy it also meant that the fact I wasn't eating didn't matter, I still had time to deal with that at a later date. I'm sure it was an issue for all tributes, because I hadn't seen any wildlife roaming around to eat. All this time just laying in the ground allowed me to ponder the point of life. I never knew whether to believe those that argued we all had purpose, or more specifically, that we all had a pre-determined path given to us at birth. Or those people that believed more in the "butterfly effect", where every decision changed the path we were on. It was difficult because I could see both sides, but also I had no idea which one I personally wanted to believe. Like was it plausible to think that from my birth the universe knew I would be competing in the 150th Hunger Games? Well no it was more likely because I took tesserae that I was reaped. But then it was this endless cycle of perhaps the universe knew what decisions I would make to put me in the position it knew I would end up in. All this philosophical thought was making my head spin; so much so that I didn't notice a tribute walking down the corridor of the maze I was in until they were right next to me. I had to stop myself from gasping too loud as their foot nearly hit my face. Luckily they hadn't noticed me and continued on. After they went past I looked up to see that it was Talia from District 5, and that she appeared to be injured from something. I couldn't see any trail of blood so perhaps she just sprained her ankle or something? Which hopefully meant that there wasn't another tribute near by or someone chasing after her. Again I began to ponder if I had made different decisions in my life would Talia have found me camouflaged and killed me? If I hadn't covered myself in mud in just the right way, would she have noticed I was there? Or did the universe always know she was going to walk past me then? What if Talia had gone left instead of right while walking through the maze? I knew I was beginning to lose my mind, but it was the only entertainment I had, and it was the only thing stopping me from fading away into oblivion altogether.

Alkaline Watt (3)
I stood back in amazement; my plan was ready to be executed. I couldn't believe my luck this morning when Jack told me that Daneiris had fled back into the maze. I really wanted to kill the both of them before my plan came to fruition; I just didn't know how to take on both of them at once. Hence I jumped at the chance to get rid of Jack while we were alone. I was still smothered in his blood, to the point that it almost looked like I swam in it. It was like my source of adrenaline, providing me the courage to plough ahead. I chucked my hands in the air and starting waving to the audience back in the Capitol; they would just be lapping this up. Not only had I just given them a brutal kill, but I was about to show them how powerful a tribute from District 3 could really be. With all the explosives, I'd dug up, I rigged them towards the stone section of the maze. The ground leading to that section from the cornucopia was a literal minefield. But the real kicker was, I'd also put explosives on the walls of the stone section of the maze, and if my ideas were correct, I was about to bring the whole section crashing down. My plan was to use the explosives to make the stone walls crumble over and start a domino effect throughout the entire section. Not only would it crush and kill any tribute in its way, but it would also demolish a quarter of the arena; and that was something to brag about. If my kill of Jack hadn't won the audience over, this would certainly get them rooting for me to be the games' victor. I didn't know how many tributes were in the stone section of the maze, but if Erraline had come running out there a few nights ago, then the Anti-Careers would surely have to be close by. That was like five or six tributes already, and that was worth the effort this plan had taken. I didn't know what would look the coolest to start the explosions off. I was standing back in the cornucopia near the blood stains and splatters from Jack's body. I just needed something to set off the mines in the ground close to me, as those exploding would start a ripple effect and eventually start the dominoes of the stone walls. Did I just chuck a rock or something heavy like a box? I couldn't use anything close range like a sword because that was too risky. that was when I thought of it - a spear. I turned around, grabbing the one that was covered the most in Jack's blood from impaling his neck. I did one more victory turn around for the cameras, before I raised the spear and aimed it right at one of the landmines. Luckily I had given it enough force that it lodged itself in the ground and set off the explosion. Fire and dirt burst high into the sky, and the force began to set off the other explosions. I was still a safe distance away but I had been knocked off my feet. I'm sure everyone in the arena could hear the ripple effect of the explosions, and I watched as the spurts of dirt got closer and closer to the stone section of the maze. Eventually the first explosive that was attached to the stone wall went off. At first I thought I'd positioned everything wrong, because it looked like it was just going to disintegrate the wall. However with the help of a few other explosions, the first stone wall began to slowly but surely collapse backwards. As It hit the wall behind it, it did fall apart, the stones collapsing all over the corridors of the maze, but not before it sent the second wall tumbling backwards as well. I had done it - my plan had worked.

Luigi Iris (13)
The ground beneath me was shaking like an earthquake. It was incredibly violent, chucking me across the floor and into the stone walls. The explosions I had heard were deafening; they must have been close. It sounded almost like they were still going, but it wasn't the same. I could tell that something was going on, I just didn't know what. I had spent all of yesterday and today scouring the stone section, looking for any tribute I could kill. Yet I swear I covered the entire thing and didn't find anyone, so I was heading back to the cornucopia to switch to another section of the maze. That was when I could figure out what the new sound was; it was like an avalanche of crashing rocks. But how could that be here in a maze when...... Suddenly the stone wall I was standing next to jolted forward as if it had been hit by something. It sent me flying across the corridor. I looked up and screamed as it began to collapse towards me - the giant stones falling out of their formation ready to crush me. Luckily I was close enough to the end of the corridor to escape it, and now I was on the run back through the stone maze, trying to stay ahead of the collapsing walls. Considering I had covered all of this ground yesterday, I had noted some key points of dead ends that I didn't want to get trapped in. Up ahead I saw that Taligelia female tribute from District 11 turn right at the end of the corridor. As I came to the same intersection she was previously at, I realised that a right turn was a dead end. I hanged left and never looked back; the walls were gaining on me. It's like they were collapsing faster, and the corridors between them became longer so I had less time to get out of their way. '''BOOM!!! '''I knew she was a lost cause when she took the wrong turn. But I started to realise that I wasn't about to get any luckier. I was bolting down a corridor when the stone wall next to me jolted again and began to start collapsing. I tried to push through and continue forward, but I wasn't fast enough and one falling stone caught my left foot. I screamed out in agony. In the fight for my life I managed to shove the stone off my now numb and bloody foot and crawl out of the path of falling stones. However as I turned the corner, and realised the next corridor was just a 180 degree spin of the previous one, I knew it was game over. I tried to hobble and crawl as fast as possible but I was no match for the stone walls. It jolted and began to collapse. I didn't want to look. I yelped out again when a massive stone crushed my spine. It felt like the pain lasted forever as the stone continued to crumble down and crush me; before it finally all went black... BOOM!!!

Adelphus Artois (8)
The cannons confirm the danger we already knew we were in. We'd nearly made it back to the cornucopia from the stone section of the maze, when we heard the initial explosions. It had set off like an earthquake and had knocked us all off our feet. "What's going on?" asked Millie nervously. The sound of crashing rocks answered her question. "It's all coming down..." James said understanding what he was hearing. "Run. Run! RUN!" yelled Blade. We immediately turned around to escape whatever it was that putting our lives at risk. "Millie! Lead us back out!" I yelled out of the sound of collapsing rocks and the loud bangs and clashing that was following us. "To where?!" Lilah screamed out. "We need to get into another section, back to the stream!" James responded. Millie just nodded and got out in front of us. It was a lot of pressure to put on a young girl, but it was only hope at getting out of this mess alive. I looked back and saw what was going on, the stone walls were collapsing on one another. "Guys...." I said looking back. We all stopped in our tracks and watched as the stone walls continued to fall towards us at a surprisingly fast pace. "We don't have time! Come on!" Blade yelled, gesturing at Millie to move. We began running off again, this time even faster than before. As we were running, I just kept waiting for the domino effect to stop, for it all to suddenly just go all silent. But it didn't, it just kept getting louder, indicating that it was gaining on us. We came to an intersection in the maze and stopped to catch our breath. "I don't know if I can keep this pace up much longer," I manage to wheeze out. "Where's Lilah?" asks Millie. I thought she had been right behind me, but we must have lost her. "LILAH?" Millie yells out, before she begins to run back the way we came searching for her. Blade grabs her by the arm before she can escape. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Do you want to get yourself killed?" he asks. "We can still save her, I'm not just giving up on her," Millie responds. "And what? You just want us to stand here?" Blade asks sarcastically. "Go left here, and just keep heading north; moving forward, and you'll come out at the stream," Millie says ripping her arm from Blade's grip. Then she runs back to search for Lilah, and without hesitation James sets off following Millie's directions. Blade and I follow after James, and I wonder if Millie could really pull this off. However as we were now heading parallel to the collapsing stone walls rather than away from them, we were in more danger than before. We come to a 'T' intersection and have to halt. "Which way?" asks James nervously. Blade just doesn't answer and goes off to the right, which we follow without question. '''BOOM!!! '''We don't even pause at the sound of the cannon. I just kept telling myself that I'm sure it was another tribute in the stone section, one cannon didn't have to be Millie or Lilah. Suddenly we see the clearing that leads to the stream up ahead, and the three of us bolt towards it; knowing it was our place of safety. We make it, and fall to the ground to catch our breath. I look back into the maze. "Come on.." I whisper, waiting to see Millie or Lilah in the distance. The collapsing stone walls were moving fast, and if they didn't appear soon, they were going to be trapped. There was only three more walls that needed to fall before the exit would be blocked. Suddenly I see Millie down the end of the massive corridor. "HURRY!" I yell out to her. Now there was only two walls left to fall. Being this close to the wreckage, the sound was deafening, and the collapsing stones were making the ground rumble. There was only one wall left... Millie was too far away, she wasn't going to make it. Her little legs didn't match the speed of the collapsing stones. One second we could see her running, and the next the stone wall collapsed, blocking her path, and presumably crushing her to death. '''BOOM!!! '''The other two didn't seemed fazed by what they'd just witnessed. I had to honestly fight back the tears; she had saved our lives, and we'd done nothing to try and help her. Hopefully she was resting in peace.

Erraline Xykler (12)
The rumbling ground, deafening explosions, and numerous cannons were indications of the fact that the gamemakers were up to their tricks yet again. I was slowly roaming the mirror section of the maze when the first 'earthquake' hit. The initial shock swept me off my feet, but I could tell that the danger wasn't close by. However, the fact that I wasn't in the firing zone and still lost my footing revealed how unlucky those tributes were who were in danger. I think I counted four cannons, which is more than the amount of cannons from the blaze yesterday. I wondered how the gamemakers would kill five tributes tomorrow, and where they would attack. As the sun finally set on another day, I curled up in a ball in a corner of the maze. I appreciated any second I could get to rest, because I knew as the games went on those moments would be more fleeting. I looked up into the night sky; I couldn't believe how similar it was to the sky back home. I remembered sneaking out of the house at night, looking up and trying to use it as a connection to my half-brother who was searching for me. I wish that I could have contacted him beforehand, and secretly I was hopeful that meeting him would lead me to my biological mother.; I just wanted to meet her, just once. It was surprisingly easy to assume this identity of 'Erraline Xykler', and I say that because she isn't myself. I'd lived my life as Annaliese Braren; and she was much kinder and reserved than Erraline. I was using Erraline's identity as a front of confidence to hide how scared I was that I wouldn't survive these games. I wondered what Rivieria, my adoptive mother, would think right now. I hadn't got a chance to say goodbye to her before the Capitol shipped my off to District 12 with my new identity. Of course Rivieria would be able to tell it was me on her TV screen, but I wonder what she thought. Perhaps that I was being mind controlled by the gamemakers or that I'd lost my memory in the fire. To be honest Rivieria probably thought I was dead until I appeared in these games. That saddened me to know that I'd abandoned someone who cared about me, but it was just another reason to fight to make it back home - my real home, which could be back in the Capitol or back in District 5, I didn't know what I wanted. Nonetheless I decided to let Rivieria know that I was still Annaliese. I stood up and performed a headstand against the mirror wall of the maze. A few years ago I'd learned the skill and it became my favourite thing to show off to Rivieria. I hoped that it would be weird enough in the games that the cameras would broadcast it, and I hoped that she would get the message. I wish I had listened to her and stayed inside that day; out of the path of the wildfires. Speaking of which, I can't believe that I'd ended up in the same situation due to the gamemakers blaze. I had passed out due to smoke inhalation before and did not plan on letting that happen again. I wondered if the gamemakers knew my history, and had orchestrated the blaze specifically to try and brake me or kill me. But I didn't let that happen, and I gave it everything to make sure I escaped the blaze. But there were still numerous tributes that I would have to fight for victory, yet it was my only option. It was the only way I was going to get back to my old life and reach all the people I've lost.

I couldn't even begin to think about what had happened today, because my mind was still pre-occupied with Electro. After we'd escaped the gamemaker's blaze into the mirror section of the maze, we'd slowly kept on the move - just so we had something to do. Ever since I'd seen Electro's invincibility I'd been unable to trust him, and we'd hardly spoken a word to each other since. I just didn't know what to do. I didn't want Electro around anymore, but I wasn't confident in going alone. Suddenly we turned the corner of the maze and were faced with a dead end. I went to turn around to keep walking but Electro interrupted. "Can we just camp here tonight?" he asked. I sighed and nodded. "I'll keep watch," I say as I sit down with my back to him. "Don't do that. Mag you kept watch last night, it's my turn," he states. "Consider it a favour and just go to sleep," I grunt back. I wanted to keep watch because I didn't trust him anymore, and also because it gave me the option to kill Electro if I wanted. It's just that I didn't have any weapon, or the brute force strength to take him on. I jumped out of my skin as I heard the loud sound of a mirror breaking and crumbling behind me. "What the hell are you doing?! Do you want to get found by the careers?!" I scream at him while still whispering. There was now only two mirrors sounding Electro, the third being a brick wall which was previously a mirror, now of which was pieces on the floor. He'd clearly punched it; but his hand was fine, of course. "It wasn't me! They're.... they're... controlling me," Electro whispers. I just roll my eyes. "I don't know what's going on with you, but I'm out. Don't follow me," I forcefully tell him. I go to turn around to leave but I see Electro's hand suddenly jolt and grab a shard of the broken mirror. I halt in my tracks, and without warning Electro throws it towards my skull. I scream as I duck out of the way. Electro's already picking up more shards of mirror, and I waste no time starting to run. His face wasn't contorted with evil or a desire to kill, but his actions were stating otherwise. I could hear the clinging of the mirror shards landing on the ground behind me as I continue to run around the maze. I knew my speed wasn't a match for Electro's and I was running out of options. "Help!! Help me!" I screamed out into the night sky, hoping that somebody would be around to intervene. I knew it was increasing my risk but at this point my death was already imminent. I look over my shoulder and see Electro right behind me - he shoves me to the ground. "I'm sorry, I don't want to do this..." Electro says as he towers over me. Suddenly I see a dagger fly over my head and hit Electro in the skull. Normally it would impale a person, but it just bounces off his head like a rock. I lift my head to see that Erraline girl standing at the end of the corridor. I use all my force to kick Electro back, kicking him in the legs, allowing me to scramble up and run back towards Erraline. Electro starts chasing after me and I gesture at Erraline to run, but she shakes her head at me. "Help me pin him down, okay?" she whispers to me. I can see the confusion on Electro's face as he continues to run towards us and we just stand waiting for him. Erraline chucks another dagger to his skull which achieves the same result, yet it startles Electro enough that he slows down. Erraline nods at me, and we begin to run towards him. I grab the right side of his skull and use all my strength to shove him head first into the mirror wall beside him. Electro collapses to the ground, and I climb on top of him to pin him down. Erraline goes to collect her thrown daggers before coming back over to me. She pulls back Electro's long hair to expose the back of his neck. Erraline raises her dagger and plunges it into Electro's exposed skin. Erraline keeps twisting the knife until.... '''BOOM!!! '''I look at her in shock. "How... how did you know to do that?" I ask. I was beginning to think that he really was indestructible. "Capital soldiers; the back of their neck is their only weakness," Erraline calmly responds. She must have seen the confusion on my face, "It's a long story," she continues to say. "Well thankyou for that. Are you with the anti-careers?" I ask wearily looking around. "No I had to leave, it's just me," Erraline says. "It's just me too," I say looking at Electro's dead body that I was still sitting on. Without even discussing an alliance, Erraline grabs my arm. "Come on, we need to move before someone finds us," she says. I nod and scramble up to follow her. Although Erraline was more deadly, she certainly was more trustworthy to me than Electro.

I was settling down for another night under the gorgeous stars in the hedge section of the maze. After I killed Sonia a few days ago, I've spent my time solemnly roaming around the corridors of the maze searching for the exit. But I'd had no success and was beginning to think I would need to switch to another section of the maze soon - if I could even find my way there. However not finding the exit wasn't worrying me too much, because tributes were dropping like flies. The only entertainment I had during these games were the sounds of the cannons and trying to picture in my head who had died and who had murdered them. I especially liked to get creative with the how, and I would spend hours doing so because believe me I've got a lot of time to kill. The highlight of my day today was going to be the fallen being projected in the sky and seeing if my predictions were correct. I knew that we started the day with 30 tributes and with the amount of cannons today, it was now down to only 23 tributes. Well I say 'only' because it's significantly less than the 56 tributes these games started with. I wondered how long these games would last? There were big kill numbers everyday so one could assume that these would be finished in a couple of days. However that could only last so long before everyone was thinned out and wouldn't be able to find each other in the maze. Considering it was a Quarter Quell, I didn't know whether that meant gamemakers would want it to last longer or rap up faster? Probably longer, especially with the double amount of tributes involved. My district was one of the ones holding strong in numbers, with myself, Alkaline and Mag still alive. That was assuming they didn't die today, which hadn't been what I predicted. I found it interesting that we were all still here yet we'd all chosen very different paths. Like Alkaline had joined the Careers, I'd gone solo, and Mag had joined a small alliance who she trusted. If anything my intuition was telling me that they would be some of the game's strongest competitors. I think I'd proven myself to be one as well. Suddenly I heard the anthem begin to play and I shot my head up to see the faces of the fallen tributes.

The Fallen

District 6 - Millie Lakeside

District 7 - Jack Wang

District 8 - Lilah Jollenbeck

District 9 - Daneiris Montreist

District 11 - Taligelia Rendervault

District 13 - Luigi Iris

District 13 - Electro Matrimine

That was interesting. I'd thought there must have been a struggle between the Anti-Careers and the Careers to see two tributes from both up in the sky. I was surprised that nearly every day Careers were dying, however when their alliance was so big to begin with I guess I shouldn't have been. I wondered if they'd split up or if they were remaining together? Also Mag's other alliance member Electro was in the sky meaning that she was the only survivor of her alliance left - or perhaps that's how she wanted it? I really thought that more of that trusting alliance would have perished by now, but they must of been hiding out. Nonetheless, I just needed to keep searching for this exit and be prepared to face whatever happened tomorrow.

James Dant (5)
With no other options, myself, Blade and Adelphus continued our quest back to the cornucopia during the afternoon. After our near death experience and losing Lilah and Millie, we'd spent the rest of the day in silence with our heads down. I wouldn't say that we were upset - well Blade and I weren't - but they were still people who were here a few hours ago that are now dead. Blade and I were just taking the more positive aspect of the situation; it was just less people that we had to kill to survive. Just before the fallen were projected we had reached the edge of the mirror section of the maze that was adjacent to the clearing with the cornucopia. We had entered into the mirror section of the maze once we could no longer follow the stream, and of course the stone section of the maze that we were next to was no more. "Can you guys see anything?" asked Blade. We'd stopped behind the mirror walls, just poking our heads out into the clearing to look around. I saw the remainder of the stone section; just a pile of rubble that appeared to stretch out forever. The gamemakers had really done it this time, and it had nearly cost me my life. However that was when I noticed, under the bright shine of the moonlight, massive holes in the ground before the rubble. Almost like massive explosions had shot up the ground. "Who's that?" whispers Adelphus pointing to the cornucopia. "It looks like Alkaline, from District 3," responds Blade squinting his eyes for the distance. "Guys.... I don't think the gamemakers were behind today's events," I say in disbelief. "What do you mean?" asks Adelphus. "Of course. Alkaline knows how to work with explosives," says Blade realising the situation. "That bastard managed to destroy a quarter of the arena," I state, still in disbelief. "That... that... he must of received help from the gamemakers," says Adelphus trying to justify the situation. "I'm sure he did. But they didn't force him to do anything, it was all his idea," replies Blade calmly. "What was his training score?" I ask out of curiosity. "He was in the top five, so maybe like a ten I believe," Blade responds. "The audience is probably lapping him up right now," I mutter in annoyance. The other two nod in agreement. We all remain still for a while to process what we'd just realised. I keep my eyes on the cornucopia and it looks like Alkaline is all alone. "Where are the other Careers?" asks Adelphus. "Probably out in the maze hunting," says Blade. "Yeah but they'll likely be coming back to camp here tonight soon," I continue to say. "Then we should hurry up and go and kill Alkaline," states Adelphus. "Are you joking?" asks Blade. "That guy just racked up at least four kills, he's all alone, and the whole point we came back here was too fight whoever was at the cornucopia. Us three could easily take him down," replies Adelphus. It was a hard pill for me to swallow, because nobody wanted to run out there and start a fight more than me. "It's too risky. What if he's set up land mines all around the cornucopia?" I ask. "I mean, he probably used all his explosives on bringing down the stone section of the maze," says Adelphus. "Do you want to take that chance? Besides how do you know how many explosives it takes to blow up a maze? Or even how many explosives are in each pedestal?" I ask, still whispering. "James is right. If he's gone to all that trouble to dig them out of the pedestals, why wouldn't he at least save a couple to protect himself?" asks Blade. "Then what do you want to do?" asks Adelphus throwing his hands up in the air. "We stay here and wait it out. We keep watch of Alkaline and the other careers when they get back, and see where they walk. Tomorrow we'll use the same path and ambush them," I say devising a plan. "And what if the entire career alliance returns? Then what?" asks Adelphus. "Then we'll revaluate in the morning, right now it's all we've got," replies Blade. I couldn't wait to make Alkaline pay tomorrow, and show the audience that I was the one to root for.

I awoke in the games on Day 5, a day where things were usually getting down to the wire in previous years, but considering the amount of tributes in a normal games, technically we were only just getting started. Brianna and I were still camped out in the mirror section of the maze. I was literally disgusted at the sight of myself by this point; I was ready to gouge my eyes out, that's how far gone I was going. We'd spent all of yesterday and no doubt will spend all of today trying to move anywhere - to literally any other section. But we'd discovered that we were lost. We had no idea how to get out of the mirror section; which would be fine if we hunting down tributes, but we hadn't had any action since seeing Phoebe two days ago. I hadn't been able to rip into flesh and see thick oozing blood for two whole bloody-less days! "Oh my god! Hello? Is anybody out there?" I pleaded into the morning sky. "Please let me kill you, I'll take you out of this misery!" I yelled out again, laughing hysterically as that was going to be my entertainment for the rest of the day. I shot a look at Brianna - who I expected to be laughing as well; yet she couldn't even look at me. Brianna was just nodding her head to please me. She'd been like this ever since I killed Rio - and on a sidenote that felt like ages ago but that was the last time I achieved a kill or did anything besides shuffle around like some useless skeleton. Anywhere I guess she was fair enough to blame me, I knew that I was murdering Rio and not Phoebe like I'd tried to claim. It's just that I'd realised we'd already lost Phoebe in the maze and I wanted a kill then and there. I can't fathom why it destroyed Brianna so much, I used to enjoy her company because she was so fearless and merciless, now it was like she was afraid of me and was treating me like I was fragile. Me?! Fragile? I scoffed at her ridiculous accusations in my head. I had received the highest ranking and I wasn't about to go down in history as some failed tribute who didn't amount to her potential. But what was I to do without fresh bodies to murder? I was saving Brianna for a later purpose, probably another day or at most two - but probably one because I can't stand her jumping at the sight of me. I was saving her for the point where my reputation with the audience couldn't take any more damage. I had to maintain the image of a ruthless killing machine, and if we didn't find any tributes to slaughter today, then I'd have to remind everyone tomorrow of what I'm capable of - using Brianna as my demonstration. My plan gave me new hope to get through this next day, another boringly agonising day, where I would have to listen to cannons sound of repeat and ask the universe, why didn't I get to be their murderer?

Blade Spectrus (6)
"I can't believe the Careers didn't come back, I can't believe they left him here all alone," I stated in disbelief still seeing Alkaline at the cornucopia alone from hiding in the mirror section of the maze. "Clearly they assumed that nobody would return considering there's an exit somewhere hidden in the maze," James responded. "Does anyone really trust the Capitol enough to believe that?" asks Adelphus mockingly. "It's an easier chance to victory, and people want the easy way out, they'll believe anything," I explain, just hoping that I was correct. "So what are we going to do with him?" asks Adelphus indicating towards Alkaline. "We're stuck without a plan, because we have no idea if he's laid landmines," James responds bluntly. "But we didn't come all this way to back down. If we can take the risk and get to him, I know that any of us could kill him," I say trying to encourage everyone. "Are you sure?" asks Adelphus nervously. "You can never be sure of anything, now let's just get on the move," states James. Our plan was to at least move around to the other side of the arena so we could sneak up on Alkaline, rather than running at him in plain sight. Ideally, we also all wanted to come from a different spot, so if he spotted one of us, hopefully he wouldn't notice another person as well. Of course we couldn't expose ourselves by walking through the clearing where the cornucopia was situated, and going through the stone section was no longer an option given yesterday's events. Hence, we had to skirt around the edges of the mirror section, then the wooden section and into the hedge section. Well I went the furthest to the end of the hedge section, James tried to stay in-between the wooden and hedge sections of the maze, and Adelphus was going to run from the end of the wooden section of the maze. Because Alkaline was now on the opposite side of the cornucopia then where we were all situated, we were able to emerge into the clearly and open field that housed the pedestals and the cornucopia. As we all stood exposed in the open, I continued to indicate for all of us to keep creeping forward towards the back of the cornucopia. When we reached a closer radius to the cornucopia, I noticed that the ground was all dug up and the dirt was pilled and spread all over the place. Which was certainly not how it was when we rose into the arena. Of course my mind went straight to Alkaline's speciality - explosives. I held my hand up to get the others to halt and wait until we could assess the situation. Although James did, because Adelphus was so far away and wasn't watching for my signals, he kept on going. Neither James nor I wanted to yell out to him because that would give away our surprise advantage. However perhaps we should have, because we watched as the ground underneath Adelphus' right foot exploded, sending his torn limbs spraying high into the air. '''BOOM!!! '''The sound, in comparison to yesterday, wasn't deafening, but was enough to make my head spin. I shot a worried look at James. We had to act fast, Alkaline was already coming around to our side of the cornucopia after being clearly alerted to our presence. Who knows if we'd even be able to make it to the cornucopia in one piece?

Alkaline Watt (3)
I guess my questions had been answered. All morning I had been sitting and pacing around the cornucopia wondering what to do next, how to top the events of yesterday. That was when I heard the explosion from behind me. I had to smirk and thank my past self for setting up those extra landmines - I knew they would come in handy. I grabbed a knife and a near by spear, and headed around the back to see what was going on. I turned to see what was left of the anti-careers alliance; James and Blade halted in their tracks. I wasn't able to tell who had been blown up by the dissembled body parts, but at this point it didn't really matter. It was just another kill to add to my exponentially growing list. "I think you've made a mistake by coming here," I yell out to the guys. "I think it would be a mistake to assume you can scare us off that easily, yells Blade in response, as he starts to continue running towards me. "Suit yourself," I mutter wickedly under my breath. I raise the spear I grabbed and I throw it towards an oncoming Blade. But with my lack of weapon ability it pathetically misses and just slides across the grass. I turn to head back into the cornucopia for some throwing knives instead. I noticed that James was still remaining still in the same position since the explosion. Well at least he had some sense I thought to myself. As I finished grabbing my knives, I headed back around to kill Blade. Yet to my dismay I couldn't see him running towards the cornucopia anymore, and that could only mean one thing.... I duck as Blade emerges next to me and swings a sword for my neck. While I'm crouched I swiftly use the knife in my hand to stab into Blade's shin. Again, I quickly throw myself backwards as Blade stabs his sword down into the ground where I was just crouched a few moments ago. Blade grunts as I escape and through the pain of his stab wound he continues to chase after me. I chuck a throwing knife in his direction, but because I'm more focused on running around the cornucopia, it again doesn't even come close. As I reach the other side of the cornucopia, I scramble to shove and roll the spears rack into Blade's path. It was still coated in Jack's blood from my kill yesterday. However I didn't give it enough momentum and although it hits Blade, it appears to just bounce off him. Yet it's awkwardly blocking his path so I see Blade grab one of the spear's and hurl it towards me. Lucky I saw him throw it, otherwise it would have impaled my stomach. However I wasn't fast enough in completely getting out of the way, and the spear slides across the left side of my torso, ripping it open. I kneel to the ground clutching my side, making my injury appear worse than what it is. My deceitful plan works, as Blade finally manoverus through the spear rack and approaches me, yet he doesn't rush quickly, rather walking towards me slowly because he thinks I'm crippled by the spear's injury. Blade raises his sword ready to slice it down on me, but his slow hestiation as he underestimates me was a big mistake. It gives me enough time to pounce on him, up off the ground and jab another one of my throwing knives in his neck. I don't make the same mistake he did, and quickly grab his skull and yank it down whilst also raising my knee to daze him out. I walk over to the rest of the pack of throwing knives, slightly wincing from the pain. I grab all the knives and stab over Blade's unconcious body. I just plant them all in his body until his canon sounds. Raising one and plunging it into his right shoulder, then another into his chest, and another into his left shoulder, and so on. I make it all the way to his lower stomach before finally... BOOM!!!

Game Trivia

 * In the original draft of the Tributes to die during the bloodbath, the number was set as twelve. Later when truly planning the bloodbath, ConspiracyKiller removed four of those Tributes because he began liking their characters and seeing their potential. These four Tributes were; Karenina Calishmere (1), Carissa Ione (8), Torin Fowlere (12), Zoey Proasheck (12).
 * Later ConspiracyKiller thought that twelve Tributes dying in the bloodbath was a good number, thus to rebalance the numbers out, he added another four Tributes to die that weren't in the original draft. These four Tributes were; Breccan Gateson (5), Grayson James (6), Miller Thorns (9), Harry Bell (10).
 * During Day 1, Afternoon, Athen Navix from District 8 dies. In his P.O.V his death occurs from bleeding out from an attack from Audrey Erosmar from District 9. In the original draft of his P.O.V, Athen actually does grab his near by Dagger and stab himself in the chest, committing suicide. However, ConspiracyKiller changed it from a suicide to a murder, because he felt that the kill/attack deserved to be credited to Audrey rather than Athen.
 * After Lunar Powers P.O.V during Day 1, Nighttime (posted in 2016), there was a 3 year hiatus before ConspiracyKiller825 posted Magdalene Pastle's P.O.V. (posted in 2019) and restarted these games.
 * Because of this 3 year hiatus, ConspiracyKiller825 has no memory of his original plans for the games and who the victor was intended to be. A new plan was devised starting from day 2.
 * Zoey Proasheck's P.O.V during Day 2 has a reference to Halsey's song Nightmare.
 * Un-ironically, Rosalind Bree (46th), Tess Payne (38th), Adelphus Artois (23rd) and Blade Spectrus (22nd) all happened to die in the exact spot of their ranking.
 * In the original draft for Day 3, Erraline Xykler was planned to die in the Gamemakers' blaze rather than Zapphire O'Quaid. Coco Chanel's death was also planned to be at the hands of Eugene Watson originally, rather than death by suicide.
 * In the original plan for Day 4, Adelphus Artois was planned to die in the collapse of the stone section of the maze instead of Millie Lakeside. Also in the original plan, Erraline and Magdalene were never meant to form an alliance. As Magdalene was planned to kill Electro herself, and never meet Erraline. However as ConspiracyKiller825 realised that Magdalene had no weapon and no strength to match Electro, Erraline became involved in order to kill him.
