D1- Destiny's (POV)
I was never that good at school or at making friends but this was something I was good at, killing. I had already killed 7 people in training. So killing kids were no biggy. Yeh, in training they sent 7 trainers at me and told me to defend my life and I did. A slash of the throat, a stab in the heart and a few stabs down there. Everyone knew if they told me off they would also die. The only guy who could ever tell me off was Dan Humie my besto. We had agreed to both volonteer this year no matter what and if I said Dan was coming into the arena with me, Dan was coming into the arena with me. A girls name was called and I volonteered. She smiled at me and mouthed thank you but that made me mad. Anyone from 1 should go into the arena with pride. I walked up and beamed and seconds later Dan was standing next to me. Our escort told us to shake hands but we did more than that. We kissed.

D2- Draco's (POV)
I love reaping day. All the kids crying and shouting. Who wouldnt love it. Well most of the rest of the population but I still love it. Im a typical career. Will go with the pack till the end then kill all them. They were showing the reapings from 1 on the big TV. 2 people volonteering to die. Always nice to see. I run up to see my mates and then she comes on. The girl with the golden knockers. Ooh Lah Lah. I wanna piece of that. She calls a girls names. Thalia Combe, shes in my training class. Pretty good with the knifes. Then she calls a boys name. Draco Adams. "I volonte....". Wait that was my name, people are laughing, good if they keep doing that they wont volonteer. I make it up to the stage with no volonteers when it hits me. District 2 have sucked lately. Last year the guy came 24th. He sucked, maybe Ill go the same way as him. But then I remember Brutus. He won it without the pack the first time. Ill be like him, not that weakling Rory.

D3- Katelyn's (POV)
Ohh great, 4 brutes from 1 and 2. 3 of which volonteered. 2 of which are in love and 1 of which is called fricking Draco. No one in our district had won in a while. Ian from last year was killed by one of the victors Lauren and Ariana was killed like 5th. We were rubbish. And if I had to guess I think this years tributes will be crap aswell. Speaking of tributes here comes the girls name. I hat our escort, with his orange curls, he looks like a girl. He moves the slip to his eyes, also he needs glasses but doesnt where them as he says there hideous, and reads the name out. "Thalin Denver". She walks up and I say, to loudly, "Like anyones gonna volonteer". That was a bad move as everyone thought I said I volonteer. I struggle against the peacekeepers but there like twice my size. I try to run when they let me go but they stop me. I look out and see my friend. Shes in tears and so is my mum. I start to cry aswell. A boys name is called but I dont hear it, only later do I find out its Brad Techno. Im going into the games, and Ill probably die.

D4- Ben's (POV)
Our fellow careers look strong. I look at Krystal and smile but she just wipes away a tear. Most people in our situation would be beaming, like me, but shes just crying. Last year the girl from 4, Maria or somehin, came 5th which is pretty good. She was the highest career atleast. I walk into the justice building following our escort and followed by Krystal and our 2 mentors. I was shunned into a small room filled with old antiques. In a case on the wall was a trident, the trident that the Finnick Odair used, this would be the last year it was up there as next year it would be replaced by my weapon, the knife that I used to become the victor of the 167th Hunger Games.

D5- Celine's (POV)
I love reaping day, I hate every kid in my school so I really love watching them die. District 5 only has 3 schools, making it the smallest district after district 12. A small plump lady with massive golden wings on her back flies down from her perch on the roof of the justice building. She forces us to watch the same shit video about our failure in the 1st and 3rd wars. There is not even 1 mention of the 2nd war, the one were we won. She starts to wottle on about how amazing it was when someone throws a tomato at her and yells at her to hurry up. She starts crying and storms off. I see a peacekeeper run into the crowd and wrestle a guy to the floor, the guy who threw the tomato. Another peacekeeper comes up and picks out 2 names. "Rowan Parkes and Celine Flair.....At thet moment I pass out in a puddle.

D6- Benny's (POV)
Hah, It just showed the girl from 5 passing out in a puddle, Im the only one laughing but I dont care about today. I think everyone should be happy, we get to go and represent out district in a compitition. I would be thrilled to get reaped. District 6 did decently last year coming 14th and 9th. We had a victor in the 165th so we were doing pretty good. Our escort, Bobath Lee, come onto the stage and quickly runs to the reaping bowls. He pulls out 2 names and reads them. "Benny Oakling and Vixen Rhodes". He then runs back off the stage and into the justice building. I see a girl with fiery red hair walk up. I wait for the boy but no one goes. "Wow, why dont they just go up" I whisper at my friend but when I look at him I see him staring at me. I ask him why and he replies with the most horrible words Ive ever heard. "Benny, It was your name that was called, your going into the games"

D7- Blair's (POV)
I look at my family staring at me. My sister is in tears. Im staying strong though, a crier never wins the games. And I will win these games. If I do die it will probably be through suicide, like Luna Snare from 8 in the 150th Hunger Games. A boy is called and he stands next to me. I dont even here his name and dont want to. I probably know him and will feel horrible when I see him. I take one glance and feel like puking. Its my sisters boyfriend. My sister wasnt only losing her only sister but also the boyfriend shes had for the past 8 years. I wanted someone to volonteer but no one said a thing and both of us were led into the justice building. And to our inevitable deaths.

D8- Max's (POV)
I stare at the crowd in front of me. The sound of crying and screaming fill the air, causing no other noises to be heard. I tell my sister to go to her section and she does, but that leaves me alone. I have no time for friends, as i spend my whole day looking after my family. I have 4 sisters. 2 are 15 and 1 is 14 but Skylaria is only 12 and ahe needs me. I stand in my section surrounded by people I have never met before. A guy walks on and picks out 2 names out of the 2 bowls. He stands up straight with his podgy belly protuding over his belt and reads out them both, "Eyla Zafire and Max Summers", everyone to look confused, no one knows my name other than my family. They dont know who there tribute is until I start to walk, I could get of with this. I might not have to go into the games but then Skylaria come bounding over crying and starts yelling for me not to go. She blew my cover, she has sent me to my doom. I shove her back and scream "WHY DO DO THAT YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT, EVER SINCE MUM SIES YOUVE BEEN A BURDEN ON ME" She looks at me and runs. I turn to see the whole of 8, probably the whole of Panem looking at me, I know I shouldnt of said that but it was true. I storm up onto the stage and through the doors. No one stops me, but I know Ill pay for this when I enter the arena.

D9- Mhari-Ann's (POV)
That guy from 8 seems like a right dick, shouting, at what I presume is his sister, infront of everyone. I hope my district partner is not like that. I cant say Im shocked or sad that I was reaped, I mean I do have my name in 125 times, so Ive been training for 5 years. I look at the guy as he finally pulls out a guys name. "Mickey McAlister". No idea who he is, probably lives in a small shack out in the praries. A lot of people do that. I live in the centre of the town, I can actually see my house from here. A guy walks up and stands next to me. Hes like twice my height but his face looks like a 4 years old, I bet every girl in my class, other than my friend Emma, is falling for him right here. Why, I do not know, we had a victor last year which means we wont get one this year. Alliana Whittle. Shes 17 and my mentor. The guy, now we know its Mickey, is being mentored by Samuel Leviathen. He won it 3 years ago when he found a shotgun and shot everyone to death. Hes only 15 so he is mentoring someone older than him which I find hilarious. We walk into our rooms and I see Emma. I run to her and hug, "theres no cameras in her so let it out" she says. So I do and I cry in her arms for the last time.

D10- Jason's (POV)
I laugh at my friend. He just was shwon on the TV, no idea why. Wait why is he walking up onto the stage, why is the girl asking for any volonteers for my friend, my friend cant be going into the games, hes 12. "I volonteer" I yell. I run up and hug my friend. "Be safe, dont die, for me" He whispers so only I can hear. I nod and let him walk back into the crowd. I lose sight of him as tears enter my eyes. "I present to you your tributes for the 167th Hunger Games, Jason Johnson and Karmin Johnson", what, did she just say my sisters name. I look at the female tribute to see my sister standing there. Shit, I just volonteered, I just basically caused my mother to lose both her kids rather than one. We are forced through doors, then she yells at me "What the Fuck do you think your doing, you basically Killed both of us, Idiot". She storms straight out the back and gets into the car. I follow her and sit beside her. "Things could be worst" I say "Atleast we know eachother", yeh, shouldnt of said this as she takes one look at me then punches me squarely in the nose, causing me to pass out.

D11- Lily's (POV)
I see Lauren and run up and hug her. We were best friends for like...ages. Then she went into the arena and I thought she'd no come back...but she did and now she was going again. This time, luckily only to mentor. We are chatting for what seems like ages but then Lauren is told to come onto the stage. This will be her first year mentoring, since she won last year. Her and Rackare will be mentoring out 2 tributes this year. I wonder who they'll be, as usual our boy is called first. "Jacob Thresh". He walks up and shakes Rackare's hand, no emotion at all. Then the girls name "Lily Valey". Oh crap I think thats me. I can see Lauren relising that. She jumps of the stage and runs after me and embraces me. We are both crying. Shes screaming just as much as me. More than she was last year. Im forced onto the stage, with Lauren following me. Neither of us stop crying until we're on the stage. She then says the most un helpful words ever. "Good Luck".

D12- Rackard's (POV)
I wish the games never reformed. There had been a 4 year gap after we won the 2nd War and all was fine. The the capitol uproared and beat us. We made a truce with them that every the games would go and each district would give 2 tributes but so would the capitol. There had been a few years districts hadnt competed. Like the Capitol didnt compete last year or in the 150th cause of some problem and 9 didnt compete in the 163rd due to a lack of children with in the age barrier. It had also been agreed that every 10 years would be a quell rather than every 25 years. These are the thoughts that rushed through my head as I made my way onto the train with my femal district partner Olympia Willings.

D13- Everest's (POV)
D13's reaping was cramped. They confined hundereds of kids into a tiny room. They had to have all the parents and other adults watch it in there rooms. District 13 had never had a victor, ok we've had a few but they were way back in the early days, I think are last victor was in the 111th Hunger games, but they were re-entered in the games a few yeas later in the 120th Hunger games and died. The sad thing is when a name is called they just shout here like in class. Cause we cant reach the stage. "Cassie Turner" a small girl yells here but is quickly blocked out by the brute Mae-Lynn. She yells I volonteer and now we may have another victor. The bully of 13. Then onto the boys. "Everest Sateer". Im going into the games. I shout here, not even bothering to think about it. Everyone expects us to be in tears but we're not. If we burst into tears we are admitting defeat. And one thing we learn in 13 is never give up until its already over.

Capitol- Margaretta's (POV)
Every one thinks Im mad but Im not. The capitol has had the most wins out of any district. Cause we get loads of sponsors cause all are friend sponsor us, family and neighbors. A few years ago a guy got so many sponsors he had enough money to buy a machine gun. He got killed by an arrow in the back but still, he got a machine gun. My neighbor Sue, walks up onto the stage. Shes so lucky. My mum has to go to district 4 to do her job and she doesnt have to move. "The female tribute is.....Keatan Si" a big girl walks onto the stage but is stopped when.. "I volonteer". I stroll up onto the stage and shove the other girl off. A game plan is already forming. Ally with the careers, the Capitol has become a sort of careers district, then kill them in the sleep. That will get a lot sponsors. Then receive a deadly weapon then win. Easy. A boy named Donathan Wolfe is called but I dont care. Even if he allies with the careers Ill kill him anyway. Cause the victor of the 167th Hunger Games will be Margaretta Hayes.

D1- Dan's (POV)
I wish the journey was longer. That's one of the downsides of being next to the Capitol. We spent the whole time watching the other reapings. All cuddled up on the sofa. The pairs from 2, 4, 7, 12, 13 and the capitol all look ok. Especially the girls from 13 and the capitol. Both look brutish and gross. The ones from 3 and 6 look like complete messes though, but nothing compared to the girl from 5. I mean she fainted, its kinda stupid. About two minutes from the Capitol our mentors come in. Silver and Diamanda. Silver won the 139th Hunger games and Diamanda won the 149th. That was the second last time we won. Then Katelynn came and won but died. And we've never won since. They asked us what were our strengnths. I said Spear and Destiny said Bow. We then started divising strategies. We were to ally with the careers until the final 10 then kill them in there sleep or flee with lots of supplies. I was kinda scared as Id seen the careers and if any of those people thought we were gonna double cross them they would kill them instantly. As we drew into the station we saw all the colours of the rainbow. We were lead from the station through a massive crowd. Destiny was posing every step of the way. At the end we were forced to kiss, and lets just say Im not complaning.

D2- Thalia's (POV)
I laugh so loud when that idiot from 5 faints, I can tell you now that she will not last lone. I've been spending the last 2 hours talking with Draco, Timian and Saph. Saph is my mentor, she won a few years ago but Timian is 67 and every year he has mentored, which is only 7 times, his tribute has won. Draco's got him. I kinda feel ok with Saph, Lila did get 7th under her control but still, its nyoot first. There both telling us to run from the cornucopia and hide on the outline, then when its almost down join the careers and look like you were there all along. I knew Draco was not gonna do that but it was similar to my plan. Mine was to get on top of the cornucopia and work from up there. It would give me an advantage over all those who can only do close combat but I will be an easy target for those who used throwing knifes and a bow. We manage to catch the end of the reapings and I do not like what I see. Both from 13 and the capitol look like trouble, 12 looked ok. Luckily 11 did not look like trouble. The girl sobbed with last years victor and the boy looked like who had maybe 3 brain cells. I wish we had seen the rest but it wasnt that important. Id see them when im watching the playback of the games after I win, and trust me I will.

D3- Brad's (POV)
Im going to die, Im going to die, Im going to die, Im going to die. Its all I can think as we watch the tributes come on. You have the beasts from 1,2 and 4. The smart and fast and strong from 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The brave from 10, 11 and 12. The terrifying people from 13 and the capitol. And the dorks from 3. I hated it. Our mentor kept saying we could do this, even though we clearly couldnt. Katelyn hadnt stopped crying since we entered the train. And I couldnt form 2 words. I think he relised this as he stormed off. We headed to bed a while later and were woken to the sheer shrills of out escort. We ran through to see our mentor, out only mento with his throat slit and lying on the floor dead. Katelyn, who had finally stopped crying, picked up a piece of paper lying beside him. It read...

''Dear My hopeless tributes, I have given up on everything. I lost my girlfriend and all my family after the games. I lost my sanity after I saw my first tributes die brutally and I lost my hope when the tributes I mentored all died. So I have now given up on life. Im sorry for killing myself on your special days but I couldnt enter that crappy city another time. Im so sorry, Signed ''

Liam Strather

Katelyn drops the letter and it falls into the blood. She starts to cry again and so does out mentor. I just do a Celine and faint into the blood.

D4- Krystal's (POV)
Im terrified. I cant believe I volonteered, 5 out of the 6 careers volonteered this year. Thalia is the only tribute not to volonteer. I have to say Im scared. Ben is kinda nice but he keeps saying about how hes gonna kill me and not feel anything. I wish Jamie was here, I would have felt safe but with Ben my emotions are shown. I see the girl from 5 falling in the puddle, Ben laughs out loud but I feel sorry for her, she probably knew she was gonna die. I hoped there was someone smaller and more fragile than me but it looked like I was the smallest. I head off to my bed but cant get to sleep. Ben wakes me telling me were here. I stand up and get changed quickly. I look outside to see...well colours. Its so bright. We are forced to walk down this long walkway. I can see a pair snogging at the end. I recognise them as Destiny and Dan. Ohhh great, all the sponsors will be attracted to her. Ben bends down to tie his lace. I think hes going to kiss me, so I pull him in. Yehhh, I can see Destiny staring at us in outrage. We stop for a second and he wispers "Good one, but we might need a stepladder next time". I look up and see Im kissing his neck. I nearly pass out but he just picks me up in his arms. The capitol love this and I have to say Im not feeling to bad either. Take that Humair, Benstal is coming to town, maybe we should think of a better name though.

D5- Rowan's (POV)
None of us can stop laughing, Celine woke up a few hours ago and we kept making her watch it. At first she was mad at all of us but in the end she was laughing too. We finally watched the reapings like 5 hours after it aired. I wished we hadnt, by district 4 Celine had passed out again. I wished she hadnt, as it was atleast good to know our competition. There was a few I thought would make good allies such as Everest, Rackard or Jacob. Others like Mae-Lynn, Margaretta and Max look like they could kill me by just one punch. I hoped most of there sort, the brutes, would be killed by the careers in the bloodbath and not ally with the careers. The careers look bad enough without them. Luckily we do have two skilled mentors, Lee and Valary. When Caline wakes up we talk. They both tell us the same thing, stick together. They tell us to form a bigger alliance than the careers, they tell us if we let the careers get the supplies at the cornucopia we'd as good as given them the games. Both of their victories had involved not letting the careers get the supplies. Lee formed an alliance of 12 and killed all of the 9 careers in thae bloodbath. He then proceeded to kill all of the other 11 in his alliance. The rest had all died of natural causes. Valary led a group of mutts to the cornucopia, destroying all the supplies and killing 3 of the 7 careers. Both had become quite famous for what they did. When we reached the station Celine, who was still un-concious was taken in a van. I felt so akward being on my own, so I basically ran through the crowd o the styling centre, I can tell I was not a crowd favourite, and that half of the capitol, through the questions that were being screamed at me, thought that Celine had passed away.

D6- Vixen's (POV)
Wow, we have a 12 year old and a 13 year old. I think we are the youngest tributes. Actually Im sure. We sit in silence all the way through the first half of the journey. Our mentors and escort didnt appear until we met the service stop. They sat across from us and stared at us. Benny looked at me and started the conservation. "So how did you guys win the games". "Hid" my mentor said but Benny's mentor didnt say anything. "He joined the careers and killed them in fights" our escorts said "He lost his tounge in the final fight, now he cant talk". Oh crap, 1 of our mentors cant even talk. My mentor asks us a few questionjs. Benny answers them all confidently but I cant answer any of them. I have not trained, im not good at using any weapons, Im not fast or strong and Im afraid of heights. Basically Im useless. My mentor confirms that. She tells us to stick together and if we meet conflict...Im to charge them and let Benny escape. I run into my room and cry, and dont stop until hear the train grown to a halt. Im then forced out into a crowd, but I dont stop crying. I just run into the building. But Im not crying cause I know Im going to die. Im crying cause I know 27 kids will have to die, cause I will win, Im not pathetic. Im Vixen Rhodes.

D7- Garret's (POV)
Ok so far in the first 3 hours all we've covered is I have to ally with Blair. Noting about what to do just ally with Blair. Great advice. "Ok onto the arena, please" I say to the carridge at whole. Blair stares at me and giggles. WIsh I hadnt said that though. Cause now all we talk about is the arena. "My arena was a forest, so I had the home field" says our younger mentor " And Pamlines was a school". Our ancient mentor had won the 105th Hunger games along with 2 careers called Cinia and Natalia, and a tribute from 8, Terri. Pamline was the only one left. Terri had gone into shock after Aven, her relative, died the next year in the games and killed herself. And commited suicide. Cinia died last year and Natalia went back into the arena a few years back and was killed by the male from 1. "But I doubt you will have an arena as big as mine, we had 72 tributes, you have 28" mutters Line. Of our mentors I preffered Line. He was nice but brutally hounest. He would help us but not lie, he wont tell us we can win unless we can. And Ill say not one word about us winning has been said by him. I hoped there was trees. I really dont feel safe without trees. I feel kinda akward now and I have not been without trees for less than a day. Its kind of sad. But most people in 7 love the trees, not most I measn, everyone loves the trees. When we reach the Capitol I know I will hate it here. There is not one tree in sight. Its so metropolitan, and grey. Well the buildings are, the people are.....bright. We walk through the crowd, stopping for pictures and to sign stuff. Wouldnt last lone as atleast one of us was gonna die in a month. When we reach the styling place we are seperated. I sit in a small room and wait, wait for the last non kid I will ever see probably.

D8- Eyla's (POV)
I hate him. Its just like last year with the male and female tributes from 8 hating eachother. But this time neither of us killed eachothers parents. I had maybe mocked him about what he said to his sister and he just took another scadgie at me. We didnt watch the reapings together and Im glad. I could tell the careers would be tough this year. All the normal ones were in obviously. Same with the girls from 13 and the Capitol. I think probably Max as well. The rest all looked bigger than usual. There was only a few I would trust, Lily and Mhari-Ann looked nice. I could ally with them and just stick it out until the end. That would be my strategy. Hide. My escort came and told me to come for dinner but I said no. He then stormed away saying about how no one in the capitol is this rude. Yeh, people in the capitol just like to watch innocent kids die on live television. I would never admit this to anyone but I was scared. That arena could be anything from a volcano to a small city. That and the mutts are what scared me the most. Mutts always bring down tributes. Last year only 2 tributes died due to mutts, the guy from 1 was swallowed by a giant dragon and Harris was speared by his district partners mutt form. I guessed this year mutts would be plentiful. And even more savage than ever. You can kinda see the careers as mutts. There savage and brutal, and dont care who they kill. A career always makes it to the final 4. Usually from 4, lately 1 and 2 have not been doing that well. I hoped the pack this year would suck but 5 out of the 6 volonteered. Dan and Destiny, Draco and Ben and Krystal. All volonteers. The only one who didnt was Thalia. I will never forget these names, never as for all I know they could kill me.

D9- Mickey's (POV)
I walk down to the end of the train where there is an outside section. I see Mhari-Ann sitting there, looking out at the fields.

"Getting one last look" I ask her.

"Ill be back, its too pretty to forget. I really hope theres a field."She replies. She turns to me and says "We could win this, we have to work together though, I want to see the fields again. I love them"

I smile at her and nod. I love the fields too. They have a natural beauty not even the capitol can take away. We spend the next hour or so watching the country side change. From wheat fields to thick forests to coastline views to dry deserts. I dont know why or when but suddenly I feel Mhari-Anns warm soft hand holding mine. Its nice like this, so calm and relaxed. Allie and Samuel come out and join us after about 2 hours. Its so peaceful and in the end Mahri-Ann begins to drift off and lies across my legs. But I dont care. I begin to stroke her hair. Then I see it. A giant dome of rippling....well it looks like glass.

"Whats that" I yell waking the other 3 up. We all run to the edge and stare.

"Probably an old arena" Allie mutters

"Or your arena" Sebastian says.

We all resume our seats. I hope its not as we are in the middle of a desert, I highly doubt they would have it hear if it was a forest or a wheat field. I try not to sleep but it grasps me and I drift into the void.

Im awakened by the voices of Sebastian and Allie. They keep repeating the same words, We're here.

D10- Karmin's (POV)
I have the stupidest brother in the world, he didnt even notice me getting called and all he cared about was protecting Sam, stupid shitty Sam. Why did my brother even like him. I wasnt that scared about the tributes. There was to many brutes. Brutes kill brutes leaving only non-brutes. And there is no such thing as a smart brute. All from 1, 2, 4, 7, 13 and the Capitol are brutes and that means that 12 out of the 28 will kill eachother. Another 10 or so will die before this happens leaving probably 2 or 3 tributes for me to deal with. By just looking at the tributes I could tell it would be between the 9's, the 11's and the 12's for me to deal with. Maybe the ones from 6 and 5 but most likely they would die. But wait, 12 never do well. Ever since Katniss, Peeta and Emmerweis no one from district 12 has done that well. Theres a few exceptions but most die to mutts if not the careers. So that leaves 9 and 11, Mhari-Ann, Lily, Mickey and....I cant remember the male from 11. Well it doesnt matter he is a brute so....he'll probably die. But what about Jason...is he competition, no he would never kill me but if he goes psycho..a lot of tributes have gone psycho, I mean there was this girl who killed her district partner and the girl from 12 and then started bathing in their blood and guts.....a careers then found her and laughed before killing her. Im not sure if the careers arent pscycos, there was a rumour a while back that district 2 and 4 just sent in psychos from their jails, then when they came back just killed them and took there money. Did this happen this time. Were Ben and Draco psychotic killers. I couldnt see Krystal being one but even Thalia.....would these games be safe......well they wouldnt, keep forgetting we are trying to kill eachother.

D11- Jacob's (POV)
I stuff down the food, only stopping for air after every few mouthfuls. Im used to this food, being the son of the mayor has its perks. Lily is in the bathroom puking, she tried to copy me but after less than 5 minutes she was gone. Lauren is in there comforting Lily which leaves Rackare and Ste-Van staring at me.

I begin to feel akward when Rackare suddenly asks me a question, "Favourite weapon and ideal choice of arena"

"Ehmm I dont use weapons, I use my fists and a field" I reply hurridly.

"Main feature in your favoured allies and strategy in the game" Ste-Van says almost seconds after I reply to the first one

"I dont like allies and defence, dont go looking for trouble, let trouble find you" I say " And shouldnt we wait for Lily to do this"

They both look at me and then look at eachother then laugh.

"Why are you laughing" I shout.

"We never help 2 tributes, last year we looked after the wrong tribute, we helped Winter not Lauren. This year its you" Ste-Van replies "This is the only reason I ask for 11, the mentors are the best. Sad that Leeta wasnt hear so its just the 2 of us helping you rather than 3 but thats what we have always done."

Looking back on the years I do recognise a patern. 1 tribute does really well and the other sucks. Winter was obviously there picked but he died anyway. But now in the 164th there was Simon and he came 3rd but Loise came 22nd. In the 159th Rackare won but Sillena came 27th. There was a pattern and now I was the strong one. I was the one they thought could win. And if they thought it why couldnt I win. The only thing holding me back was myself, and myself is no longer standing in my way as I will win.

D12- Olympia's (POV)
I have no strategies. Since Rackard doesnt want to work together I have to be alone in a room with a 69 year old drunk. Rackard gets the 49 year old whoose not drunk and crazy. I dont know why but it better not be because Im a girl. I sit while he babbbles on about killing vampires and dodging lepracauns. Its like this for ages, luckily dinner breaks the meeting. Rackard and his stupid mentor come walking in laughing, looking like ther having fun and Im sitting there sicerely pissed off. Rackard doesnt even speak to me, say anything. And I dont say anything back, simple. Luckily after dinner we get to watch the reapings. Lets just say I wish I hadnt watched them. Every body looks scary. The big ones look like they could squish me with one push and the little ones look like they could follow me for days and then kill you in seconds with a knife or a bow. Rackiard is just laughing at the pathetic ones and saying the massive ones will make amazing allies. He is a dick through and through. Even if he wins the people in 12 will hate him for allying with the careers. They hate anyone who allies with the careers, even people from there own district. And Im sure that this years career pack will contain more than just people from 1, 2 and 4. Im sure it will contain atleast people from 8, 12, 13 and the capitol. It will be huge and therefore more dangerous than ever. Last year there wasnt even a careers pack and this year it will most likely be the biggest in a while. Im scared now. I wasnt scared before but now Im terrified.

D13- Mae-Lynn's (POV)
Im going into the games and Im exstatic. The careers this year look amazing this year. The guy from 1 looks strong and the girl from 2 looks fast. That midget from 4 looks..well she is the dissapointment of the careers. Ben, Draco and Destiny look strong but there the typical careers. Draco is the strength careers and Destinty is the sexy blonde that is thick as mince from 1. And Ben is stuck in the middle, sexy and strong but thick and brutal. Well those three will be easy to pick off. But Dan, Thalia and Krystal actually look like they may be a problem. Can looks smart and strong, I expect him to be the careers leader, him or Thalia. Thalia looks speedy, that type of person that usually kills from a distance. Throwing knives and the bow are something I cant use. I have to kill at a close distance so she could easily kill me, easily. Same with Krystal, maybe more with the bow or the blowgun than the knife. I wasnt scared though, no I wasnt scared, I cant be scared, why did I sign up for this, why did I volonteer, why did I throw my life away, I caused my family so much pain just to kill myself. I was so stupid. Why did I do this. Everest stares at em, almost knowing what Im thinking about, knowing Im gonna die and all he does is shake his head.

"Ally with me in the games" I burst out.

"No, you will go with the careers and you will bring a victory for 13" He replies calmly "Or atleast one of us will win"

Then he just walks away, and he was right I would bring victory to 13. "Thanks" I mutter even though he is long gone. And I just wait, wait to reach that retched city.

Capitol- Donathan's (POV)
I dont like this, I dont like this one bit. We ofcoarse cant go on the trains to the capitol since we are in the capitol. Instead we are taken straight to the training centre to get 'Stripped Down', apparently if we are blight blue in the arena, we may not be the best at camoflage. I have to be de-blued, have my wings removed and have my whiskers removed. Its so horibble. Margaretta isnt that bad, she only has some hair exstentions but me, we have to work long into the night.

"Just a minute more then we can chat" My styling team says for like the 100th time.

This time wierdly they were correct, they finish wiping me down and then sit in a row infront of me. And then they stare. They then walk out in single file, army perfect and in the door is my stylist, or my mentor, or my uncle depending on what you want to call him.

"Oh my god, I just stopped crying, my favourite nephew going to his death" He dramaticly acts out.

"Thanks for the support uncle, why do you think I cant win" I reply.

"Havnt you seen the reapings, you havnt, that would explain it" He mutters to himself "Well, we better watch it now" And we do.

We sit for the next 10 minutes watching all of the tributes getting called. Draco, Dan, Thalia, Ben, Celine..All of the names blend into one massive blob. I dont blame my uncle for being scared, I was going to die. Some of these peoples legs were bigger than my whole body. I dont blame him, cause even I know Im going to die.

Chariot Rides
This is from a citizen of the capitols POV

Linius's (POV)
Oh I love the chariot rides, well being head of the chariot placing comitee I have to love them. I cant wait. Its the first step till the games, the chariots, training scores, interviews then the games.

Oh here come chariot 1, Oh its so pretty, the naturality of it is stunning, the diamonds and sapphires glitter in the lights, it really displays the theme of district 1. And the eveness of the outfits are equal, I couldnt say which outfit I prefer, Dan's makes him look so handsome and strong and Destiny just looks beautiful. But I wish there was more connection, oh well I still i love it, I give it a.... nine.

Now onto district 2, wow, Thalia looks stunning. The attention to detail is amazing. It all fits together, the make-up, the shoes, the drees, just everything. But Draco just looks so lack luster next to the star that is Thalia. Why are the boys always so...pathetic lately. Its almost embaressing. The girl does very well and the boy is usually the first to die in the bloodbath. Its just pathetic. Well despite Thalia's outfit being amazing, Draco's was rubbish, so ill give them a.....seven.

Now onto 3, oh now this is a dissapointment. The usual flashing outfit, terrified tributes, why do we ever expect any more from 3. The boy atleast is smiling but the girl is...crying. But I thought she volonteered. Im sure she did cause everyone was so shocked. The lights are beginning to get a bit boring and are hurting my eyes, why are they so bright. They just deserve a.....four.

Speaking of 4, here comes Ben and Krystal. Awwww, arent they sweet all huggled together. But there outfits are bland. A plain blue suit and dress. I keep expecting it to turn into water or evaporate or something but nothing. But of all the couples so far there the only ones who look happy together, and I like to see happy tributes. So Ill give them a......six.

Now onto 5, wait are they solar panels. Now that is detailed but those lights on the front are annoying. They keep growing brighter, no there going to smash. BOOM. Oh my god Im blinded, wait its going away. Woah, they are glowing, now that is impress everyone. The boy is gold and the boy is silver. I love it. Its amazing. There is no connection but they look like they dont care about us, wait Celine is, oh great shes fainted again. Aww but Rowans caught her, thats nice. Ill give it aaa......nine.

Well lets see...oh 6 is pathetic. A bus and a bus driver. Busses havnt existed for like 50 years yet there still transport. It has some nice detail though and the silver jumpsuit of the girl is kinda flattering. I guess its not a complets wreck like 3 and 4. Atleast they are both smiling and oooh, gas is coming out of the girls rear end like she is an actual car. I like the attention to detail. Ill give it a ....six.

7, now that is pretty. Its so natural, but in a different way from 1. It looks like they have just walked out of nature. The detail in the headpiece and the dress id fabulous. It really draws your eye. My only slight wory is it is to green and blends in with the green of the chariot, but thats only minor flaw. The impecable detail in it makes it stand out slightly and once you have found it its hard to look away. It is mesmorising. Well now it easily is one of the nicest so far so it gets a.....nine.

8 is very blue. The girls dress is detailed but 8 is such a hard district. As there industry is clothes and how do you represent clothing in a piece of clothing. The girls dress is very well made, I suppose that may be showing the technicality of the stitching which kind off represents 8. But the males outfit is drowned out by the girl, the same as 2. Amazing girl but sucky guy. My life story. Well I guess Ill give it......seven.

Well 9 is...original. Hopefully 11 dont go for farmers or we will have duplicates this year. And there not even nice farmers outfits, maybe sas them up or add a sequence or 2, but not just plain farmer get up. Its just boring and really makes your triubtes look horrible. But its nice that the tributes are holding hands, they are smiling as well and they look united together and I like that. Its something that the outlining districts have that the careers dont and for that Ill give them a....five.

Oooh, 10 is very musical. The guy is rapping and the girl is dancing. I have to admit neither of them appear to be good at it but atleast they look like they are enjoying it. The girls starts to spin and....wow Butterflies come out of it. Now that is impressive. I really like both outfits but I really wish they matched slightly more, if they matched they would have got a solid nine and maybe, if they improved their dancing and rapping, and ten but now I think Ill give them an......eight.

Well now only 4 left, heres 11. She is gorgeous, her dress, her make-up, well her not having make-up and her no shoes all make her look like she has just climbed out of a field of wheat. Now that was impressive. The boy was very handsome but still didnt match to the girl. This time atleast its a smaller gap but is still one of the prettier one. Its just a different style from the others. I love it. I would give it a ten but they just have the same gap as 2 or 10. So Ill give it an.....eight.

12 is boring. They have gone back to the miners outfit. Its drab, plain, ugly and boring. I hate it soo much. That is all I even have to say about it. And even the tributes have no emotion. I really think this is the worst district so far. It doesnt even deserve a four. Im going to give it a.........two then.

13 is in the usual battle gear. Its nice that every year they have a different battle style in history but it is getting a bit boring. Its not as bad as twelve or as good as three (never thought I would say that after there outfits) so I think I should give them inbetween. Maybe a 3 or I could give them a four. No Ill give them a.......three.

Well only the capitol left. Now they are drab. And sooo boring. I love it. Donathan looks almost normal. He is no longer blue skinned or no longer does he have any wings. I love it so much. i could stay and watch it for years, no, now its getting boring. It isnt that good, well its decent. Better than some but not as good as others. Its good but also terrible. I think Ill give it a.............five.

Now just to choose the placings, top is 7, 1 or 5. Hmmmmm.

Destiny's (POV)
I run down the corridor and leap into the elevator. I can hear Dan storming behind me, I bash the buttons with all my fists and the doors close as Dan crashes into the glass. I only get to see his face for two seconds before I shoot down to training. Even though its quarter to ten I want to get there to talk with the careers, see who we are going to let in. When the doors open I am horrified to see a crowd of people. I quickly count and find that we are the second last people to arrive. Only.....13 to come. Dan comes out of the elevator seconds later and grabs my hand. 13 comes seconds later. We stand behind Draco and Thalia and then Athalna starts babbling on. She says that we shouldnt go to the weapons and go to the survival. I dont agree, and obviously neither do any of the other careers as as soon as she lets us go we all go to the weapons.

Me, Dan, Thalia and Draco are at the bow stand when 3 people come over. The girls from 13 and the capitol. And the boy from 12. We quickly let them in and they are pretty good. Ben, Draco and Rackard are all good with swords. Mae-Lynn and Margeretta are amazing with spears and maces. Krystal and Thalia are good at long range, but Dan is still the best. He is just so accurate at throwing.

"How are you and lover boy" Someone whispers in my ear. I quickly turn to see Thalia in fits of laughter.

"We are doing perfectly fine" I say trying not to punch her "Not that you need to know" I burst out laughing and we hug. Last night we got quite close, she came down to our floor and we chatted.

"Lets go to the survival skills" I manage to get out.

"Fine, I guess we better get used to some other thing" she replies and we head over followed by Dan and Ben.

Draco's (POV)
I dont like that guy from 12, not one bit. I dont mind Ben being better than me, cause well he is a career. But this Rackard is a boy from 12. There supposed to suck. And it doesnt help that last year the boy from 12 killed Rory, 2's male tribute. Hes just standing there, defending against 6 trainers, all fully armed, without even breaking a sweat. Its so annoying.

"Why are we even letting him in" I moan to Krystal.

"Ehmmm, let me think" Krystal replies after shooting a target clean through the head with an arrow "Maybe because he is amazing, look at him, he is defending against 6 trainers, you failed at defending against 2" A second arrow flies through the skull of the dummy, this time it wasnt shot by Krysal though. We both look and then see Vixen Rhodes from 6 retreiving a second arrow from her quiver.

"Well looks like you have competition aswell" I say with a laugh, I then leave the fuming Krystal to go try with some spears.

Im decent at them and stay for a while until Dan comes over. He throws 3 spears, one after the other, and scores each of them in the bullseye. I stare at him and he just smiles.

"I have been training for 4 years" He says to my bemused face before stalking of to follow Thalia, Destiny and Ben to the fire station.

Mae-Lynn wanders over and says "Lot of toughies this year, as usual all from 1, 2, 4 and the capitol are good. 7 are strong and so are 10 and 9 this yer though. 11 are good, only 6 and 3 that suck" I stare at her and she replies with three words before stalking off "Know the enemy".

I suppose that makes some sence, 7 are both good. So are 9 and 10, and I think 6 are amazing, especially the girl, but I dont know why she says 11 are good...oh thats why. That girl scored a perfect hit with a blowgun. And the boy rip a dummies stomach clean open with his bear hands. Maybe knowing the enemy isnt good, cause if you know how powerful they are, you get scared by how powerful they are.

Katelyn (POV)
Im so stupid. My big mouth got me into this. And because I was crying during the chariots no one wants to ally with me. Not even Brad. The ones from 1, 2 and 4 are in the careers. So are the girls from 13 and the capitol and the boy from 12. Brad is talking to Donathan about technology in the capitol. 5 and 6 have formed an alliance and arent letting anyone in. 7 are together, apparentley the male is the females sisters boyfriend so they are defending eachother. 8, 9 and 10 have also formed an alliance. Im shocked the 8 male is with them and not the careers but maybe the screaming was out of charachter. Both from 11 are going it alone and Olympia from 12 is with Everest from 13. I decide to go talk to them, I havnt asked them for an alliance yet so I head over.

"Hey, do you want to ally" I sprout out.

"Fine, take a seat" Olympia says without moving her eyes from her painting.

She is pretty good, I can tell her arm is supposed to be a rock atleast, but Everest's arm looks like its been painted with crap.

"There are to many unatural strokes" I say taking the brush from Everest "YOu have to make it smooth" Within a few seconds his arm actually looks like bark.

"Youre pretty good" he mutters "Lets see what you can so with weapons" They quickly wash down there arms in the pool, the training got a pool a few years back, and then hed to the weapons. Everest goes to the knife station and Olympia goes to the hand to hand combat and I head to the bow.

I saw that the girl from 4 and the girl from 6 were really good at the bow but its still my best weapon. I shoot a few and get the targets. Olympia joins me and is decent and a few minutes later Everest comes too. He is not good, he hits the targets but the targets at the spear stations. I can see the girl from 1 in floods of laughter so I tell him to move onto the spears. Lets just say his spear skills shut that girl up. Im so glad I decided to ally with him, as he is goooood.

Ben's (POV)
Krystal has been acting so weird lately, she hasnt been talking to me or joking. Ever since we got 8th place in the chariots. She was talking to Draco fine but when ever I go over to see her she walks up. I decide to sneak up on her at the archery stand, I grab her by the arm causing one of the arrows to go shooting towards Celine, and guess what happens, she faints. As medics come to see her I hiss into Krystals ear.

"Why have you been ignoring me", I hiss.

"Ive not been ignoring you" She replies after releasing herself from my grip. "I just dont want to be with the careers, I feel under appreashiated"

"Why would you leave the careers, Its basically safety till the final 10, then me and you can kill them all" I reply.

"No Im leaving, Ill go hunting at night, Ill make up an excuse and leave. I wont kill inocent people" Krystal hisses.

"Fine, but I cant be in a relationship with someone I have to kill, Its the careers and me, or your on your own" I sullenly reply.

"I cant. Im sorry" And with those words she storms off. I stare but decide not to rat her out. If I tell Thalia or Dan that she is gone they'll make her top of their to kill list, I may not be in a relationship with her now but she is still the closest thing I have to home.

I head over to Destiny and practice the swords.

"I heard you guys talking" She mutters. I quickly turn to her,l shock and fear filling my eyes. "I wont tell them, but be sure after she leaves, on what Im presuming will be night 1, I will kill her as soon as I see her. And I presume you will too" And with that she turns back to the swords and I know she is correct.

I cant be around her as within seconds she is the person in this room Iam most in debt with. Cause I know if she asks me to do something and I say no she will rat me out. And the thing a career hates more than a betrayer is an ally of a betrayer.

Celine's (POV)
Ok, my plan was working. I had fainted, was it 3 times now. Once at the reapings, well that was by accident but it gave me the plan. Once on the chariots, nearly died then if Rowan hadnt caught me. And now, well that one was also by accident, I mean there are 3 options when an arrow comes shooting at you. Scream, faint or die. Luckily the latter was not my fate. I have to sit out in a side room while the medics do some tests, Im fine with this. I need to stay away, I cant get attatched to anyone. It doesnt make it any better that Im now in an alliance with Rowan, Vixen and Benny.

A medic walks in and stares at me, thats all he does for what seems like hours before he finally says "You can go" and then leaves. I look at the door swinging back and forward, should I go back, I stay for a while but decide it would be strange if i go back to my floor when i have time to train. As I walk back I see the remaining training centre, I can see rooms full of people on computers, and rooms full of cages and scientests. I decide to take a look at quickly duck into a room as a scientist comes out.

"This will really shock you, I cant wait to see it in action" One of the 2 men says.

"It better be good, or we are all dead like last years." Says the other.

The first man laughs before wipping off a cloth of a cage, I wish he hadnt as what lay below would actually make me faint and it did.

I wake up and the two scientists are still staring at the beast. It is about the size of a rhino with rough thick grey fur, its ears are sticking up, emerging from the coroas hair. The eyes are small but beady, I bet they can see for miles, they are as black as night. Its claws are about the length of my hand, they seem to give of a black sinister glow, but the worst thing is its tail and its mouth. The tail is covered in tiny little barbs, coated in a glowing liquid. What appears to be acid is dripping from its fangs has caused a pool to form at the bottom of the cage, the teeth are made of gold, I guess they are taking inspiration from Enobaria, wait, her face, her violent attitude, the teeth. Thats Enobaria, one of the most famous victors from 2.

"She's a beut, looks just like her" Says the second one "Who else we got"

"Cashmere and Gloss are our smallest, Katniss is fast and Beetee is smart. They are our finished ones. We are still working on the Katelynn, Lauren, Allie, Natalia and Cinia. And if we have time we may make a Terri and a Pmaline one. These are one of the 2 mutts this year". He replies.

I hate them, they are horrible, its so horrible, I can feel the heart beeting and so can the scientists as they spin around and see me.

"GET OUT" They both scream, and I do, I run and dont stop till I reach the elevator and go tearing up. I leap out into my mentors.

"Why are you hear" One of them asks, I stare at them, then faint. That makes 5.

Benny's (POV)
We have not seen Celine in ages. She passed out, again, and then they took her away. I was suprised I was in an alliance, especially with Celine the fainter, Vixen the weakling and Rowan the....well Rowan I might have thought Id be in an alliance with. But Vixen was good with a bow and decent with a knife. Rowan was very smart but amazing with a crossbow, but I have never seen a crossbow in the arena. Hopefully this year that would change.

I walk over to Vixen just as she shoots another bullseye. "What skills do you have" She says unexpectedly.

"Ehmmm, what do you mean" I reply confused "Im good with darts"

"Wow, thats useful" she sarcastically replies "Especially when Draco or Ben is charging at you, you can throw a dart to block there spear or knife"

"Why are you in an alliace with me then" I shout at her.

"YOu heard our mentor, I have to sacrafise myself to save you" she replies in her normal voice "Remember"

"I didnt ask to be treated like that" I reply as she shoots another bullseye.

"Yeh well no one believes in me" And with that she walks away.

So thats why she is allying with me. I have no chance of winning, so why are my mentors telling her to die for me when I suck compared to her, I head over to the darts, Blair from 7 is also there. And she is good.

"How long have you been throwing, Ive been doing it for 3 years" I ask.

"Just started today, I know, Im rubbish, I bet youre soooo much better. Why not show me" She says while she throws a final dart and hands the rest to me.

"Ehmm, maybe ill try tommorow, Im going to try....axe throwing" I then turn to head when i hear her say.."Wimp" and I break down, I run towards the elevator and go shooting up, when I see Celine, I go to her floor and....oh great she's fainted again.

Blair's (POV)
''"Its Just a fox, Jazmin." I mutter to my sister.''

"Why cant I go home, I dont like the forest. My Sims account will be getting used by Garret" She crise.

"Oh my god youre 14, you are older than me. You have to learn how to fend for yourself" I say as I retrieve a tissue from my bag.

I continue walking through the forest, "The leaves really do Glimmer and Sparkle dont they" I say to my sister trying to brighten the mood.

"I suppose" She grunts.

''We continue walking and she begins to liven up, which I cant say I prefer. She keeps hopping about, and singing. I walk past the red marker but I hear my sister groan to a hault.''

"You crossed the line" She gasps.

''"What do you think is going to happen, a wolf is going to attack me" I begin to laugh before I hear the pounding a feet. I turn to see a giant wolf bounding towards me, I close my eyes and wait for the pain to come. its to late and I admit that.''

''I hear the thump but I dont feel the pain. I slowly open my eyes to see the bloody mess, that is my sister.''

I suddenly wake up, my face covered in spaghetti. I see Garret staring a me.

"You see it again, its all I see at night" He grunts.

"Yeh, its all I can think about. The doctor thinks she will wake up soon, Imadgine that waking up to no sister and no boyfriend" I mutter spitting my food everywhere.

"Well, how do you know one of us wont win" He says.

We share and look and know something, one of us will return.

Max's (POV)
We have the second biggest alliance in the games, Im glad of that. Me, Karmin, Eyla, Mhari-Ann, Jason and Mickey. Its good and bad. Its good because we can fight and stand our ground, but its bad because Im the weakest, Eyla and Karmin are both fast but smart. Mickey and Mhari-Ann are amazing with close combat and close weapon combats. Jason is the leader. He is amazing, I sometimes think too good. And he keeps going to where the careers are, if it wasnt for Karmin I wouldnt let him in. Karmin is actually nice, and she trusts him so I will.

I look around for my alliance, I see Eyla and Karmin at the fire station, I did that with Mickey this morning. Mickey and Mhari-Ann at the edible plants, did that before lunch. I look around for Jason but I cant see him anywhere, Im presuming he is still at lunch or up in his floor. Then I see all the careers surrounding him. I head over too the sword station, which is just beside the crowd. I can now clearly see Jason standing in the cetre.

"To summarise, I will get as many people in my alliance to hide at the back of the cornucopia. Then we run out. You kill all people in my alliance OTHER than Karmin. You capture me and I ally with you" he summarises.

"What if you betray us" Draco murmers.

"Then you kill me and Karmin" He replies without a second thought.

"I think its a good deal" Destiny says "We get a couple of free kills."

The group murmers in consent, it is only now I realise what this means. He is trying to kill me. I run over to my Karmin and Eyla, I quickly begin to recount but Jason interupts. Mickey and Mhari-Ann comke over to see and the fight brakes out. It goes really fast and by the end our alliance of 6 has depleated to two alliances of 3. One with Eyla, Karmin and Jason. And another with Me, Mhari-Ann and Mickey. I can tell you of the alliances. Ours will last so much longer.

Mhari-Ann's (POV)
Oh great, I thought we had an amazing alliance, now its down too three. Just me, Mickey and Max. I hate this. We lost the three best ones but I have to say i believe Max. I did see Jason hanging about with the careers often. Im pretty scared by him. We have decided to move onto the weapons. Iam glad. It makes us feel like we are actually good. I rock the room with my skills with a long knife and Mickey is pretty impressive with a trident. Dont know how seeming as there is like no water. Unfortunately Max sucks. His best weapon is a knife and both me and Mickey disarmed him withing seconds.

We decide to move on swiftly as the careers were giving our alliance some sketchy looks, basically they were laughing at us.

"Maybe your good with fire" I say trying to build up his confidence. WRONG

"Comoflage?" Says Mickey. WRONG.

"Healing, Plant Identification, Swimming?" NO NO NO.

Max heads off to try his hand with a bow while me and Mickey talk.

"He is useless, I think we have to dump him" I say after the long silence.

Mickey stares at me before finally nodding. "We should go join Karmin, Eyla and Jason, Shouldnt we" He says.

"No I still dont trust Jason, he is strange". And with that we head off to the weapons as a new alliance of two.

Jason's (POV)
I hate Max, why did he have to go and ruin everything. Eyla and Karmin just left the alliance, to go join Max, Mhari-Ann and Mickey. Just cause I said we should all run in for the bloodbath, Eyla then got suspicous and left. Karmin said she was better in a bigger alliance and followed Eyla, my own sister deserted me, to go with some people she met less than 2 days ago.

I begin to head over to the tridents when I am stopped by the masses that are Ben and Draco, I begin to back track but Draco grabs my arm and dirests me towards Thalia, Dan and Destiny.

"So do we have to formally invite you into the careers or will you just join already" Thalia sacastically says the moment Im within range.

Destiny stares at me before saying "Are we sure we want him, we already have 8,I mean 9" Im sure after saying this mistake she gives a short look at Ben, and he shakes his head the slightest "Wont moving it up to 1o be a bit much, what happened to the days when the careers were 1, 2 and 4, And maybe a talented individual. I miss those day."

"Those days were long ago, now the careers acept all disricts, and some of the originals are slackig" Dan says with an obvious look at the tributes from 2. "I mean 4 ame 5th which isnt that bad and 1 came..."

"1 came like 14th" cuts in Thalia "And we came 7th, better than you"

"Ok, the girl came 7th but the boy cae where, Draco?" Draco stare coldd heartidly at the boy from 1. if I was Dan I would be scared as he was insulting a guy caarrying a lethal sword. And all he had was a bow.

"Ok, I guess your thick and weak, the boy came 24th, REMEMBER" Destiny finishes. An then she and Dan walk over to the 4 careers not involved in the chat, Mae-Lynn, krystal, Rackard and Margaretta.

"Thalia, why cant we chuck the out" Drao moans as soon as the lovebirds from 1 had vanished.

"Cause there strong" Thalia simply replies, and with that I was now with the careers, one of the most hated people in this world. And they were fighting. Something told me that very early in the games there would be a career on career fight. But the only question left was which side to choose.

Lily's (POV)
I walk around looking at all the tributes, analyzing them. I dont want an alliance, Im going to do this the same way as Lauren did it, alone. I had covered most stations and was deentley happy with my results, I had done pretty well, I had a nack for long distance weapons. Blowgun, Archery and Slingshot. I had to show all of the. It would be hard. I hadnt covered some of the bigger weapons such as the spears or axes. And I really didnt want to, I shouldnt bother learning. If we get close enough to be able to use that sort of weapons i wouldnt win, I had to keep them at a distance, far away. I decide maybe I should learn how to throw knifes and axes, as a knife ay be easier to get than a bow or a blowgun.

When I reach the station I can hear raised voices from the group of careers next to me, I expect to see another non-careers fighting with the careers, but when I sneak a peak I see its the ones from 1 against te one from 2. I quickly revert my gaze and continue throwing.

After an hour of practising I can see Im no good at throwing an axe but decent with a knife. I can tell training is coming to an end as everyone is getting tired and adgitated. The careers have been split in two. Dan and Destiny with Mae-Lynn and Margeretta on one side and Thalia and Draco with Ben an Rackard. Krystal and Jason appear to be sticking together which shocks me, I thought Krystal would stick with Ben and Jason with Karmin, I mean they are brother and sister.

I move onto spears, I could use theese to throw, when Jacob comes up aswell. he stands behind me and helps me position my spear befroe heading of. I throw it straight from where he put it and to my delight it flies straight over and impales the dumy through my head. I turn to thank him but he is already over at the fire making station coaxing a fire out of wet branches. I know he is the toughest in the competition in this group, he can throw spears, strike with swords, axes and knifes. Can tear heads of dummies without even grimacing. I wish he would ally qith me but apparently Rackare had told hi not to ally, it was sencible as people ith allies usually kill eachother in the end. I turn to see a gamemaker hit a button and then a time comes onto the roof. 60.00. We have 1 hour, I decide to improve a skill rather than learn a new one. What do I need most help with. I turn and stare at the spear protuding out of the fae of the dummy. That answers that as Jacob wont be there to help me throw spear everytime.

Rackard's (POV)
I love Olympia. But I have to win. But then I will have lost the only person I truly love But we cant both win anyway, so I should igore my feelings, but whats to say one of uus will win even if I say I love her. Maybe I should tell her so that we can have atleast some time together. But then if she doest like me I will be super embarrased and akward, well atleast we know Im not telling her in the interviews, not like that idiot from that stupid district...wait Peeta was from 12. FAIL. Well not like Allie and Craig last year, I saw how sad ALlie was when Craig died, i dont want that to happen to Me when she dies, or her when I die. But we have to remember im with the careers. If I say I love her they will desert e, but I dont even know if there will be a career pack this year.

I decided to side with Draco and Thalia beause, to be hounest, Im more scared pof Draco and Thalia than Im of Destiny and Dan. And our side also has Ben and all they have is Margaretta and Mae-Lynn, its not really an even field, but that can change. I mean if Jasin an Krystal side with them we are as good as dead but if they side with us, we win. I wish I hadnt joined the careers, it was a stupid idea. Now I cant tell the person I love that I love them, and it looks like the solid career pack of 10 has gone to a weak ad idiotic career pack of 4, 4 an 2. Not the est year. But I have to win, district 12 has never done that well lately, the tributes have died in the bloodbath or been killed by mutts, its unfair. And now I dont have a chance of winning.

Our sort of side of the careers has been trying to sort of bribe Krytal and Jason to join us. Thalia and Draco had both tried and so had Destiny and Dan. I noticed Krystal and Ben werent talking which I found wierd but I guess Ben was maybe mad at Krystal for not joining our side. Jason on the otherhand was waying towards Destiny and Dan. Im not suprised, district 1 is nice and friendly at first but turn into beasts in the arena. District 2 on the otherhand are pure brute beasts, and arent so good at the nice thing. And the capitol is also very charming as seconds after Margaretta goes to talk to him he joins the. Oh great now only Krystal left undecided.

Im tempted to go talk to Olympia but I cant, I stay beside Thalia, I stay a wimp. I can hear her and Everest laughig, he is one lucky fellow. He, Olympia and Kayelyn. Theyll make strong alliance, then it hits me. The alliance of 8, 9 and 10 is bigger than ours. I have a strong feeling tht this yer the cornuopia will not be controlled by the careers.

Everest's (POV)
I think Im in love with Olympia. I dont relly know as I have necer been in love before. But I have this tigly feeling when she talks and I always want to be around her. I like Katelyn but I know she is weak, very weak. She isnt really good at anything and compared to Olympia, well there is no comparison. She is strong, beautiful but best of all she is kind. Not just to me but to everyone, Katelyn, the trainers and even the other triutes, like the careers. Well almost all of the careers, all but Rackard.

I think she trul hate him. Im serious. She never talks about him. But she kinda nearly killed him. She was doing amazingly with the knifes, throwing knifes. And then the moment Rackard walks by she misses the board and causes it to skim her hair. It was close. I decide we better start deciding strategies so I head over to where Katelyn is showing Olympia how to start a fire, atleast shes good with something.

"We better decide some strategies" I say to my allies as I come into ear range.

"Bloodbath, Games, what are you talking about here" Katelyn replies after lighting another fire.

"All of it" I reply curtly. "I rekon we run at the bloodbath and hide"

"I want to fight, If I get a bow and you get a..." She tries to reply. But I cut her off. "We are not running, Its the most deadly part of the games. Maybe in a normal year but there are 10 careers who are assured to run" I retort.

"I agree, Katelyn Im sure with our sponsors we can get a bow. I only need my fists and a knife wont cost much, we dont need those supplies" Olympia shouts over us, finishing the argument "And I like the idea about hiing, its our best bet"

We both nod but t feels wierd agreeing to help defend eachother but that in about 2 weeks only 1 of us can be still alive. And Im in love with one of them, this is not looking good.

Margaretta's (POV)
I really love training. Its so much fun trying out all of the weapons, sad about the careers splitting and all but we are definatley the better half. We are the bigger and more skilled half. Well Rackard is pretty strong and has a brain. Thalia is really skilled and strong, and Ben is really strong and very smart. So really Draco is there only weak link, really why didnt the careers boot out 2 as a career district an bring in 13 or the capitol. its unfair that we are the Extra careers, not the real careers. Thoes who die first. Its an unfair presumtion, look at last year. The last career died at 5th place. 4 extra districts came efore them. 8, 9, 10 and 11. I admit if the capitol had been n last year we would have done amazingly.

i skip over to Thalia who is getting a last minute of training, literally as the counter on the ceiling just hit 01.00.

"Why dont you just chuck Draco out" I say, causing her knife to hit 1cm away from the target "Then the careers could join"

Thalia turns to me and says "Its not that, why does everyone doubt us. The ones from 2 used to always do well and now thay suck." She wipes a tear from her eye as the buzzer goes. She walks of into an elevator with Donathan and Brad. i wait for the next one and get in with Destiny and Dan. They quickly get out and seconds later we reach the rof. I stand on the pad for the Capitol and a beam collets me and takes me up to the aircraft, instead of building 2 more floors on the training building they have 2 aircrafts hover oer the buildings permanentley, on atleast when the games are. I head over to y room as soon as we hit landing. I can see Donathan sitting on the couch but ignore him, I lie on my bead, Its so uncomfortable compared to my bed but I easily drift off, for what may be one of my last sleeps.

Dan's (POV)
Destiny had been acting really wierd since yesterday. She was laughing and chatting, like she normally was. But that glimmer and sparkle in her eyes had vanished. She was the same inside but I could tell she was changing on the outside. We stood in the elevator not talking, when we exited the lift we were suprised to see only Donathan, Margaretta, Mae-Lynn and Eversest. When we stood next to the tributes Mae-Lynn and Margaretta came and stood beside us. Everest and Donathan just stayed were they were, they had their own alliances.

3 and 6 came next, 6 stood together and 3 split to stand next to Donathan and Everest. 12, 9 and 8 all came after. Olympia headed towards Everest and Rackard stood alone. 9 and 8 stuck together and Karmin joined them when they came. Jason joined us. 4, 11 and 7 came before 10.00. 7 stuck with eachother, 11 split but still stood alone. Ben stood with Rackard but Krystal went and stood beside Lily, was there a small alliance forming there. That only left 5 and 2, Celine and Rowan came running out just as the clock struck 10. They stood eside 6 as Athalna began to talk. I kept taking a swift glance at the door expecting Draco and Thalia to storm in but they didnt.

THis didnt make Destiny any better. She was losing her personality, she wasnt laughing or talking. She still had her skills but I wondered how long that would last. This had happened before. It had happened when I broke up with her the first time, it happened after she killed the trainers and it happened when her sister died in the games. That was a horrble games, she had gotten so close but died.

It was on the 10th day of the games and there was 5 left. Lylac, Destiny's sister, and the 4 girl were the only careers left. Both were only 12, everyone was suprised as all the other careers were 18 or 17. Both from the capitol and the male from 3. He was 18 and a brute, he had an 11 in training. The careers got in a fight with the capitol,, Lylac swiftly shot an arrow into the head of the capitol girl, and the 4 girl and capitol boy killed eachother of, so it was down to Lylac and the 3 male, it didnt last long though. Lylac was walking along a mountian road, when he attacked. He plunged the knife into the side of her head within seconds. I remeber wathing it with Destiny, we had just broken that depression but It appered it was coming back. The final stage after losing her skills is suicide. And Im scared that in an arena of people trying to kill her, keeping her from commiting suicide will be pretty hard.

Thalia's (POV)
We would go down in history eve if we didnt win, Draco and I were the first ever tributes to escape the training centre. We had spent all night working it out with our mentors, stylists and our escort. We were in full capitol gear, we had money, thanks to our stylists and we had escaped. It wasnt that hard, a knife there and a broken window hear and we were out. We were free, but we couldnt go far. I wish I wasnt going into th games, and I have the feeling Draco agrees. But that doesnt matter. Today is for the tributes of 2, just em and Draco.

We are sitting in a small resteraunt when a man rushes into the resteraunt and whispers into the ear of the owner. We are wondering why but ot for long. As soon as the messanger leaves the owner rushes over and beckons the ocupants of the resteraunt, we head over to hear horrible news. They had found out we had escaped, and thats not the worst. They found out our stylists, mentors and our escort had helped. And they were being hung in the central stage at the interviews. In front of all of the tributes. And it was mine and Draco's fault.

We are running through the streets, hurrying to get back to the shoot. We reach it in time and crawl through it, stripping the lothes as we travel to be just to late. We reach the entrance to see our 2 mentors and our stylists and styling teams. And our escort being escorterd out by 20 peacekeepers. We had caused the death of 11 innocent lifes, well 9, our mentors did kill in the arena. But now that I felt this pain I relise I cant do this in the arena, I cant kill innoent kids. Well I have no choice now.

When they leave we decide to go to training, when we enter everyone is staring at us. We causiously walk over to our alliance, knowing all of their eyes are on us. When we reach Rackard and Ben Iam slightly pleased to see Krystal with them but they all stare at us expectintly, and we dont dissapoint. They all stare at us in awe after we finish, saying nothing and I feel so bad.
