User blog:Aniju Aura/Revive The Dead Games

Revive The Dead Games follows Slyder through her Hunger Game and a familiar face from the past reappears and becomes an unlikely ally.

Important Pre-Game Stuff
Here’s how this is going down. The story follows what Slyder is doing but since this is a Hunger Games, I’ll need other tributes to compete as well. They will get their own point of views and there be a winner since Slyder’s plot doesn’t necessarily need her to win. Tributes from past Games also appear here, some were lucky enough to be brought back to life from the edge of death and were experimented on in District 14. They will be used as obstacles for the Tributes to deal with in their Hunger Game. This story takes place after the 250th Games so tributes from any Game prior to that can appear here. Besides Tributes, Victors from past Games will also get a point of view since event taking place outside the Arena as just as important as what happens within. So if you have a Victor from a previous Game you like to be mention feel free to tell me about them. I only need a few Victors to act as Mentors however, so many one for each District please. Let me explain the Dead Games series, it is about Victors who can see dead tributes from their own and privious Hunger Games. They have to help the dead as well as defeat the ones who wish to come back to the World of the Living. The first story follows Logan,my first Victor who won the 100th Hunger Games by ~PopTart~. The second which I wish I would have had time to finish called Day of the Dead Games followed my second Victor Enili who won the 121st Hunger Games by ~PopTart~ again. This story however doesn't follow a Victor but a chosen one named Slyder who has yet to part take in her own Hunger Game. Gerald from the Vengence Games, by CloveIsMyWife, returned after he was brought back to life and now he decided to aid Slyder. And that's basically what the Dead Game Series is about. Also I have a wiki in which I put greater detail about my characters The Hunger Games Fanon Wiki. It would also help me out if some people went over there and started making pages for their character. It comments take a long time to read and it is hard to relocate the right comment with info on it. Finding a page is faster and easier and you gusy can put more info about your characters on their pages. The more info I have on a character the better the character will be. Thansk everyone now on to the important stuff!

There are some important things to know. Now I know there are loads of District 14 and 0 floating around but here are my versions;

Distirct 14 it is an unknown yet not an offical District formed in secret near the Capitol. It is located right outside of the Arena used for Hunger Games. The inhabitance of District 14 are used for various experiments so the Revived Tributes currenlt live here.

The President of Panem is currently Billy, who is the aunt fo Cecil, one of my other tributes.

District 0 is where dead Tributes go after they were killed during their Hunger Games, so it is not apart of Panem. In the Land of the Dead this section is simply refered to as District 0.

The Revived Tributes actually age slower after they have been revived so they will look around the age they died. Gerald was 15 when he was killed, which explains why he doesn't look his age. This Hunger Game is the 228th Hunger Games but because Kine is in charge of making this Game, it seems more like a Quell. Kine likes to do things differently, there be some changes to the Game based off of whatever he likes and wants to do. Kine also has hiden Easter Eggs all around the Arena which can provide many useful things ranging from weapons and supplies to enchantments and special upgrades for the tributes to use.

Tributes
The New Tributes who were reaped into whatever Game this is, sometime after the 225th Hunger Games and the Vengeance Games. The new tributes will be from the Capitol to District 13, one male and female from each. They will have to not only survive each other but the revive tributes from past Hunger Games and whatever the Gamemakers throw at them. Two New Tributes per-user please,  users can have a total of four tributes, two New and two Revived.

Revived Tributes
Revive Tributes are those from past Hunger Games that have died but their bodies were taken to the Science Lab by District 14 and brought back to life. However this came at a cost for them, they were experimented on and mutated, and few were given various powers. The scientists found it amusing to relate the tributes powers to how they died and/or something that was their crowning trait while they were alive. Such as Gerald’s tuberculosis, which made him different from the other tributes, he was infected with a more refine form of the disease allowing him to control it; however it comes at a cost for Gerald. The Revived Tributes cannot win the Hunger Games, they all belong to the head scientist Kine. Two Revived Tributes per-user, users can have a total of four tributes, two New and two Revived.

Arena
The Arena is a futuristic city fill with tall buildings made of metal, wires, pipes, tubes and glass. It is always dark in the Arena and in the sky, the Gamemakers and Scientist head quarters can be seen at all times. A tall tower simply known as The Pillar stands at the center which houses a giant artufical sun. Constent music can be heard over the loudspeakers. A large clock shaped like a moon is the only form of time in the Arena, other than clocks found inside the building, however none fo these have correct time. A sun or a moon will rise on the face of the clock to show AM or PM. To west there is a large Gothic Church topped with bells and to the south is the only park called South Park complete with a small forest and lake. There are three Domed Buildings each containing a different theme, the first is an Amusment Park, the second is a Museum and the last is a Coliseum where a deadly surpise awaits. Tributes will have to find food and resources inside the buildings but they will also find other surpirses some good and some bad. I think I will call it Tokio after ViniciusDeAssis1999's misspelling of Tokyo.

Sponoring
Only New Tributes will need sponoring. Everyone gets 500 per-tribute, so if you have just one tribute you have 500 to sponor them. If you have two you'll get 1000. Revived Tributes don't get sponsoring but you'll get an extra 100 per-Revived tribute you enter as well as get an extra 100 if you guy part of the Arena right. The Revived Tributes will try and take the sponsor gifts from the New Tributes. If your tribute(s) die you can them sponor someone else's tribute.

Prolog
Gerall Durrell Point of Veiw:

Darkness... That was all I was aware of. I wasn't sure if I was thinking, alseep or even alive. I didn't feel anything. I didn't remember anything. Then I saw a light. It was brillient! Then something in the air drifted into my ears. A voice.

"Hello Gerald..."

A voice from a white lady in the light. I had no control of myself. I could not respone nor did I know how to. I was just observing.

"I've been watching you. All of you in the Games and I have chosen you. The most worthy."

She placed her hand on my chest.

"I grant you a gift. The gift of life so you may live on protecting those around you."

There was a sharp pain throughout my body. This was the first time I became aware of something. He was intense. The worse pain I ever felt. A image of faces, people I knew, flash before my eyes. I could not blink nor look away. I saw my mother smiling at me, my sister Molly, she always loved to play games with me, my brother Cameron, he always joking around with me, and my grandfather so proud of me. The pain edded away leaving me feeling tired and sad. The imaged left me and I saw the Albino Lady again. She with drew back into the light smiling at me and said "Live Gerald."

Everything faded into blackness again before I felt something light hitting my face. My body was thrown into something hard with a thump. My eyes slowly opened. All I saw was a blurr so I blinked a couple of times. It was cold and I could hear voices talking.

"Hey Sir, this one is still alive!"

Some guy in ragged clothes standing above said. I could hear another person appoacing but he was out of my line vision. There was another thump as someone else was through beside me.

"This bastard still alive, eh?" A man's voise said. "Well saves us time bringing him back."

"Should we throw him back?" Another person, a younger man, asked.

"No, the veiwers already think he is dead. He's not going to win anyways. Save us a second time collecting his body. We'll take him back to Kine. He'll love to experiment on him."

What was going on? Oh yeah, I was last with Lizzie and Tres before I blacked out. I wondered where they were as the hoover craft took off with me and Battleaxe dead body on top of me. Damn this guy was big. If it wasn't for the craft's sharp turn that knocked his body off of me, I would have suffocated to death under him. I guess he was killed too. Bet Gabrielle was beside herself with grief. I always kind of looked up to Battleaxe. He was cool. Fuck Piper, she abandon me and the others along with Luke. Hope she dies somewhere... No I don't mean that. I didn't have the energy to really be mad or even think. Everything blacked out again.

The next time my eyes opened I found myself in a silvery metal room surrounded by lights. I was strapped to a table of some kind. It felt like being at the doctors back at District 13. I wondered if I was back home but I soon realized I wasn't. I heard voices screaming and begging for someone to stop. They sounded like they were in pain. I lifted my head but a foggy glass wall blocked my veiw on both sides. I could make out shapes of people standing over another table doing something horrible to someone on that side. A voice screamed and begged for it to be over. I recognized it to be Lucas. Whatever they were doing to him, it was causing a lot of pain. I guess he was taken out of the Arena too because there was no way in hell we were still in the Hunger Games.

Then a man came over to me who I would later learn was Kine. He just stood over me and starred. It was freaky, especially because he ingored me when I asked where was I and what was going on. Then he put his fingers to me neck and felt the TB lump. God did that hurt! I tried to turned away but he held my head down. The cold air in the room was making my throat itchy and it was hard not to cough. Then he stuck his hand to my chest like he was examining my disease. I could still hear Lucas suffering. On the other side to me they were doing something to someone else but I didn't know who.

"What are you thinking, Kine," another person in a white coat asked. It was a woman this time.

"He is the one infected with Tuberculosis. I want to do something with that."

"He's not going to make it much longer though." The women told Kine with a sign.

"Then we will have to get to work on him right away. How's that Mr. Mason coming along?" Kine asked.

"He's coming around. We got his heart beating again but he doesn't have too much brain activity." The woman looked at me and made a face. "How is he alive with that arrow in his head?"

Kine shrugged. There was an arrow in me head? I couldn't feel anything. Did they take it out? Why was there an arrow in my head?! Kine took his figured and poked something and I felt some tention on one side of my head. I guess the arrow was still in.

"I think it hit him in a way that it missed all the vital organs," Kine said running his figured threw my hair. "He must have passed out from blood lost because of that knive in his chest."

Now there was a knive in my chest?! Okay who the Hell tried to kill me? I would put a knive through their head and an arrow in their chest!... No I wouldn't. I suck at any other weapon other than my spear. I could stab someone but then again who couldn't stab someone with a knive?

Another person came over and I recognized his voice as that guy on the hover craft. Kine referred to him as Dylan. He was saying something about Lucas but I didn't really hear because the woman had place a mask over my face forcing me to breathe in some kind of gas. I felt a niddle go into my arm and then everything got numb. My eyes stayed open but I would not move. I really didn't feel anything as it all was like a dream. I don't know how long I was laying there but it must have been a while. I could see the white coats were doing some kind of surgery on my body and they kept passing tools to each over over me. Kine took a small flashlight and shined it into my eyes a few times. After the last time he shutted my eyes and I guess I fell alseep because the next time I woke up then whole thing was done. They were still doing things to Lucas, I could hear his voice.

"What's going on?" I called out in a slur. "What are they doing to you?"

He didn't responed with anything more than a whimper. I guess it was better that I didn't know what they were doing to him. They probably were going to do the same to me or they already did. The mask had warmer air in it and it felt better in my throat. I was hoping it was medicine for my TB. I remembered Kine said something about my disease. Then I finally heard a moan to my left where Battleaxe was. I could not see him clearly but he must have been stirring. I assumed they were brining us back to life maybe for something special at the end of the Hunger Game, like for the grand finale or something. Maybe they were going to make us into mutts? God I hope not. An electric sound came from by right where Lucas was. I could see some flashes. Lucas had grown quiet. Where they killing him? Now why would they do that after bringing him back to life? Poor Lucas. I wished I could help him. We weren'treally friends and really didn't know each other, I never spoken to him during training. Dude just kept to himself and remained alone during the Game, but still we fought together or competed against each other. Now we weren't enemies and neither was Battleaxe in here. I wanted to help but I was stuck to a table. I tilted my head and something stopped me. I guess they didn't remove the arrow from my skull? This constant beeping sound was started to drive me nutts. What was that? What I on life support? Now that must have been for Battleaxe. I wondered how long it would take for them to revive him.

I could hear Kine's voice over by Lucas. Things had quieted down over there so maybe they were done with him. Lucas wasn't talking any more. There was nothing I could do to help him. I leaned my head back and rested. I felt so weak and tired for some reason. Moving my head made me a little dizzy. Perhapse it was this gas they were forcing my to breathe. Then I must have passed out again because when I opened my eyes again I was in another room that was white. Lucas was lying to my right and someone was beyond him but I couldn't see who they were. Nothing looked wrong with Lucas other than some burned marks and his feet were all in bandages. He was passed out. I never notice till now but he was kind of cute. Oh I should have gone with him instead of that dick-head Luke. I didn't want to die a virgin so I had hoped maybe we could but Hell never follow your dick. Always follow your head, it is smarter anyways. Oh well I guess nothing I could do about it now. I hoped that Madeleine was okay. I felt so guilty after seeing Michelle's face in the sky. God I am so stupid.

Day like 5 or 6 or something like that I forget...

I have been here for a while sleeping and eating mostly. The people in White don't talk to me when I try to comunicate to them. Sometimes they speak in another language all together. It's a little annoying. So I have spend the past few days strapped to that bed breathing in some kind of gas that makes my lungs tired. I heard Kine mumbled something about TB but it doesn't sound like it is going to make me better. I feel more sick than anything. They later moved me into a roomm well it is more like a cage or pin or something you keep animals in. It's a small square room, it is more tall than it is long and it is cold as Hell. They put Lucas in next to me and sometimes we lean next to each other on the bars because it is so cold in here. He doesn't talk to me much, usually compaining to me about his feet or my arrow poking him. I am not sure why I am not dead. What else is weird is that there is also a knive stuck in my chest. I don't undertand it all but I am alive I am sure of it.

I think Battleaxe is a few rooms down because I keep hearing his voice, he's mostly yelling and throwing a fit. I guess whatever they are doing to him, he hates it. Lucas throws a fit when they come for him. It looks like they have been busy reviving some dead people from other Games. There was this guy named Robin in one of the rooms near mine. He doesn't talk much. He seem depressed about something but I don't remember his Game so I am assumning something bad happened.

"Oh my God this is awesome!" I heard Kine's excited voice from down the hall. "I'm gonna totally screw with the baby. Where is she? Put his body over there and revive him."

It was weird but I noticed that sometimes Kine acts like a little kid when new dead people come in. He's odd at times but he is usually serious I think and very quiet too. Someone new must have come in. A lot of tributes have been coming in everyday now. I don't know how long this thing has been going on but I think Kine started reviving people since the lastest President took power. There was this other guy down here named Emerald, he still believed Snow was still the President. He died forever ago, we had like two or three Presidents after Snow. That's a stupid name. I mean I know he was old with white hair but when he was little I am sure he didn't look like a Snow.

Anyways, when they come for me every couple of hours to breath in that gas stuff, they take me pasted this room. Someone is in here I am sure but I can't see in. I always hear music coming from the door. This guy with bright neon green hair that everyone calls Snotbubble keeps trying to get in there. Green fluid that glows keeps dripping out of his nose and mouth. He sometimes bothers me when I am strapped to that table but usually one of the White Coats chases him away. He seems to be able to just wonder around the place as he pleases. Kine seems fond of him too. As I was strapped to that table with that mask over my head, Kine came over with a woman named Young who must be one of the scientist because like once or twice a day she injects me with some kind of medicine, one of each arm. She got me one the right arm this morning so she injects the niddle into my left arm. I hate getting shots. They hurt and conitue to hurt long after. The gas was starting to make me fell sleeping. I could hear Snotbubble humming his little songs in the background. I wonder how long I will be here.

Six months later...

So here is the jist of things. The White Coats have been experiminng with us this whole time. They do less to me now. Kine has been having me go intothis room, it's like a miniture arena were I can pratice my new abilities. Everyone has new abilities now. I can now control my Tuberculosis, sound wierd but I can. I have been infected with a new form of TB called Genocide Tuberculosis or GTB as Kine likes to call it. Basicly they cured me of my old TB then re-infected me with the new one they created. Whoop De Doo I guess...

I haven't left this science lab since I got here but I don't have to live in that small cage anymore. Once I was infected with GTB, they moved me to my own room, soI wouldn't accidently infect anyone else. It is weird because the knife and arrow in my body some how keep me from infectiong people. I have to leave them in when I am around the others. Lucas hasn't gotten any less moody but at least he talks to me now. I have no clue where Battleaxe went. Fabio is down here too and Nile. We live underground now under the science lab. It kind of like District 13 but far cleaner but with more rules. I know we are not in District 13 because we were told by the other people who have been down here long that this is District 14, or so they call it. This guy that I met named Alex told me it is what the "experiments" started to call it District 14 and now everyone just refers to it as 14 even though District 14 isn't really a District. I live in the part called Black Fall, the undeground city but I heard their are other towns that make up District 14, each with their own particular job to do. District 14 is a little bit like a smaller version of Panem with it's Districts.

You known what else is weird about this place is they seperated the males from the females but sometimes we see each other. I have found out that both my Allies Madeleine Levenhire and Michelle Rhode are down here. I saw them and when we had a chance to speak to each other, when they asked, I told them I was forced to flee the Bloodbath and was never able to find them again in the Arena. I think they believed me. I felt to ashamed to tell them the real reason why I did not join up with them.

Right now the Victors Tour was probably going on, but we were never told who won our Game. Alex, who has been down here for a while, told me that the White Coats didn't allow TVs down here because they got messed up by the radio waves of their experiments. This guy from District 3 was trying to use some cables to make his own TV, but he hasn't made the TV yet so I guess we won't be finding out who won the Hunger Games anytime soon. The people who lives above group in Archon, I was told, had TVs. I can't live in the upper parts of District 14 because of my GTB so I am stuck in Black Fall but it isn't so bad down here. Also with the Victor Tours going on Kine seems to be depressed. I guess because he won't get any new tributes to experiment on. He spends most of his time in that room that the music comes out of with his "Favorite" he says. Kine was finally starting to talk to me a little but he mostly talks to me like I am some child or animal. He doesn't answer questions still.

Capitol Reaping
Thomas Adrian Parker of District 13:

I was up early and at the Reaping Stage waiting for everyone else to get in line, which would be awhile. Now I am not one for the Hunger Games but Ilike to watch the Capitol's reaping before our Escort finally gets on stage. The Capitol's reaping is always first to be shown on the big TV sceens. So well I wait for District 13's reaping to start, I watch the big sceen in the middle. The Capitol people wave at the camera. Oh how I love their hair and colorful outfits. I wished Iived there instead of dirty old District 13. At least my family didn't live underground. The Capitol's Escort was new, I didn't know him, but I liked his hair. The Capitol didn't need a real Escort because the people who were reaped were already in the Capitol, they didn't get to ride in the train to get there. So every year till now the most senior Escort, and I mean the most elderly, would take the Capitol. This year there was a young guy in his late teens, with bright orange hair streaked with every color of the rainbow was acting as the new Escort. His outfit however wasn't very Capitol like. He wore a black jacket and a striped green and purple shirt with a purple bandana around his neck. At his side was a long sword, which I had no clue why he would need that while at the Reaping, the peacekeepers were there. His personality wasn't as interesting as his appearance.

"Alrighty Capitol people," he said into the mike. "Shut the fuck up and let get this damn thing over with alright?"

That quieted down the crowd. The Capitol was a mixed crowled of people who wanted to join the Hunger Games and some who didn't. The Capitol wasn't really a Career District since sometimes some tributes were trained and some where not, it varied each year. Depending on their Tributes, the Capitol may or may not join the Careers this year. So a peacekeeper came up to the Escort and whispered something into his hear. The Escort gave him a look and went back to the papers he was supposed to read for the speech about the Hunger Games. He read them as plain and un-interesting as possible like he had not interest in reading the speech. It was obvious he did not want tobe doing this.

"Hello say name of District.. Capitol...I am your Escort.. state you name...skipping this part... The Hunger Games remind us of... some shit that went down a real long ass time ago who gives a fuck!" He said and threw the papers behind him before conituing. "The Hunger Games are about killing the fuck out of people in the most horrible gruesome ways imagenable. We all know what they are. Now to the god damn names!"

I could her the boys behind me laugh at the sight on the big sceen. I was disappointed in the Escort they had this year but I likes his crazy hair. One of the boys behind me named Doug rubbed his hand on my head messing up my hair.

"I think you are in the wrong District, Thomas!" he joked playfully at me. "Or did you forget what District you are from? Be happy that guy up there isn't our Escort!"

"I know, we got the same old boring Escort." I responded with.

"I said SHUT THE FUCK UP!" the Escort on theTV sceen yelled at the crowed again. "Now the first loser who is going to get his assed killed... I know I'm starting with the boys first. It was the closet bowl to me!" He yelled at a peacekeeper who was directing him to the girls' bowl which he was supposed to pick from first. "Well you should have put that one closer to me! Fuck man!"

The Escort kicked the boys bowl over and walked over to the girls leaving the voxes to pick up the names as fast as they could. He picked a name out of he girls' bowl.

"Oooona Jaina Creed? No Cree." he read rather slowly. "Who they hell is this?"

A girl around the age of 16, 17 maybe 18 with jet black hair and a red streak walked up to the stage. She held her head high as she got on the stage, maybe she would join the Careers this year. Well I was a little disappointed in her appearance. She wasn't much like the other Capitol girls.

"What the hell is your name?" The Escort asked.

"Oona Jaina Cree," the girl stated rather proudly.

"Your name sucks but who gives a fuck. Now on to the boys!"

Oona glared at her Escort as he grabbed a name off the ground. He opened the paper but before he could read the name a boy in the 16 crowd yelled;

"I volunteer!"

"Damn some is eager to die. Hell who cares? Oona? No? Well get your ass up here!" the Escort yelled swinging his sword in the direction of the volunteer almost hitting the Peacekeeper standing next to him. This Escort was dangerous!

A boy who actually looked like he belonged in the Capitol walked up on the stage.

"I liked how the Capitol children don't need to be escorted by Peacekeepers. They just excepted their fate and walked up to the stage." The Escort said into the mike swinging his sword around. "What's your name, boy?"

"I'm Smick Trinket, sir," the volunteer boy said.

"Smick Tricket?... hmm what a stupid name? Who named their kid Smick?"

While the Escort went on about how weird of a name the two tributes for the Capitol were, our Escort finally got on the stage, so the TV was changed to our District. I was disappointed I didn't get to see the ending of the Capitol's reaping.

District 1 Reaping
Slyder Crescendo of District 12

Gawd it's that day again isn't it? Well I forced myself out of bed and got all ready before I waved a good bye to my mother and father. Dad called me back though as he always does everyday for a hug. He does this incase it is our last time we will see each other alive. I guess today is more important that any ordinary day, because it is Reaping Day. Still sometimes it is a little annoying when I am running late, but today I was early because I had a sad dream about my brother. Maybe dad was right to always remind me that he loves me. Once all the goodbyes were said and done, I headed to the Reaping Stage. Our Escort hadn't gotten on stage yet so we watched the Reapings in the other District. Gives us something to do while we wait for everyone to get in line and for things to finally get started.

District 1's Reaping was on the Screen. I must have been real early to see District 1, normally I get to see 4 or 5 before our Escort gets on stage. District 1 was real clean and plain looking and for some reason almost everyone there had blonde hair, where they all inbreds or something? Their Escort named Ricuo Ilanga was on stage finishing the speech about the Hunger Games. Even though she wore a purple and violet outfit to match her purple hair, I still thought she was kind of pretty. If I lived at the Capitol I probably be prettier than I am now and maybe I would have a boyfriend or something at least. The guy I liked was reaped last year and died. Go figure, just my luck.

"Okay now how about we get to the names?" Ricou announced on the screen.

The whole District went crazy, cheering and shouting out names for their Escort to pick. She walked up to the girls' bowl first and picked out a name. I liked Ricou, she didn't take forever to draw out names or talked forever about the Hunger Games. Too bad she wasn't out Escort, who took forever. Ricou opened the letter and read the name loud and clear into the mike.

"And our lucky lady is Chloe Madison!"

"Whoa! I was picked!"

"I volun--!"

"Oh no you don't!" Chloe yelled as she punched the girl next to her who was about to volunteer. "I'm going!"

I couldn't help but laugh. Those Career people, always so eager to get into the Arena and die. It's been a while since we had a District 1 Victor though.

"Well I guess we may win this Game with your spunky additude," Ricou said as Chloe run up to the stage. "Is there anything you have to say to the audiance?"

"Yes, I would like to thank my coach for training me! And my mom and dad for buying me the best trainer!"

"That's good to knew we have a well prepared Tribute this year! Now we let's see who will be our male tribute this year!"

Ricou picked a name out of the boys' bowl and read the name into the mike.

"Bruce Chuckles!"

"I volunteer!" someone in the crowd yelled.

"Oh thank god!" Bruce yelled back.

"Okay we have a volunteer! Please come to the stage oh wait!"

The boy who volunteered climbed over the boys infront of him and on to the middle of the stage. This guy for once had brown hair, instead of the usually blonde hair of District 1. He kind of looked fimiliar, I think I have seen this guy before.

"What's you name?"

"I am Jake Lehouk Jr." He said. "I am named after one of my great uncles who was in a previous Hunger Game. And this time I will win this Game for him."

He seemed eager to please. Chloe made a face at her District partner. I guess she was hoping for someone a little more but this year's Tributes from 1 didn't look all that amazing. They were a lot younger than your average District 1 Tributes. Maybe the Careers will suck this year.

"Well I am sure he is very proud of you for volunteering." Ricou told him with a smile. "And there we have our Tributes for District 1!" Ricou announced holding up Jake and Chloe's hands.

District 2 Reaping
Conner Machado of District 11

I met with some of my friends at the 17 year olds at the Reaping Stage. Our Escort was already on stage but here in District 11, we have a lot of people so it be awhile for things to get started. People were still pouring into the Reaping Area. I wondered what would happen if I was reaped? Would my father come and see me one last time? I probably wouldn't be reaped. I was able to watch the ending of District 1 reaping and I was surpised at how young they were. The TV screen changed to  District 2 Reaping. I was curious to see who would be doing most of the killings in the Arena this year. For some reason people from District 2 always did better than the other Careers.

The Escort for 2 was already on stage giving the usually speech about the Hunger Games. He was a young tall man with silver blue hair and a pale blue suit. His name was Crumle Jimpson. Odd name but Capitol people often had odd names. The District 2 was cheering and talking and screen so loud it was a little hard to hearwhat Crumble was saying but it seemed he just wanted to get the speech over with. He walked over to the Bowls and the District quiet down.

"Now for what we all waited for," Crumble announced. "District 2's female tribute is Spatula Baobab!"

"I volunteer!"

"As usually we have a Volunteer! Well Spatula maybe next time."

The girl who Crumble called Spatula looked releaved someone had volunteered for her. The Voluntee girl ran up stage before the Peacekeepers could escort her. Why they bother with Peacekeepers at the Career Districts? The Volunteers were always happy to go to the Games. Well that District 2 girl was fast and young. She came out of the 16 year old section.

"I am Ivory Kranium," she said into the mike.

Ivory was the usually pretty girl from District 2. She had and I quote "long flowing blonde hair that had so many coruscating curls it cascaded all the way down to her hips!" I would think that would cause some problems in the Arena, getting cought on things.

"Our male tribute is Ellie-Jade Bachi!" Crumble said.

There was like dozen volunteers.

"Ellie-Jade, why don't you pick you will go in your place?" Crumble directed a young boy from the 14 scetion to pick somone.

Ellie-Jade, who had blonde hair that was almost white with bright green eyes took over the volunteers that the Peacekeepers had gathered. He looked over each of the boys till he finally pointed at one. That boy cheered.

"I'm going to the Hunger Games!" he yelled.

"Thank you Ellie-Jade," Crumble excused the boy. "Now for our lucky volunteer what is your name?"

"I am Konlok Vice," the boy introduced himself.

It seemed the Career Districts kept getting young volunteers. Well the both the triubtes from District 2 looked like they knew what they were doing. Ivory fluttered her eyelashes at Konlok but he seemed oblivous to it. Lucky guy, at least he gets to spend his last few days with a pretty girl with real long hair. District 2 cheered and chantted their tributes names over and over again. Then the screen changed to District 3.

District 3 Reaping
Grace Pearson of District 10

It was a nice day, the sun was out and the clouds were rolling softly acrossed the sky. I remember last year it was a little rainy and very cold and clouded for the Reaping. The lady at the table too come of my blood and sent me on my way. This year I would be in the 13 year old section, it was my second reaping. The ending of District 2 was on the big screens above the Stages. District 2 was very lovely compared to District 10, but I liked it here. I waited with the other girls and waved to a few people I knew. The Reaping for District 3 came on. The Escort introduced himself as Moliere Rednose. His nose was quite fine in my opinion. He wasn't too crazy like some of the other District Escorts. He had black hair with streaks of red and he wore a jacket with a collar of feathers. It was a cloudy day in District 3 so I guess it was colder there than it was here. Moliere didn't take too long with the speech since the people at District 3 just wanted to get the worse part of the Reaping over with.

"And now the names," he stated as he walked over to the boys' bowl. "Our male tribute this year will be..." Moliere paused for a moment as he opened the name for the reading the name. "Aiden McFinnegan!"

The crowd was silent, no cheering, no praise, no chanting the name. A tall boy from the 17 Year Olds' Section slowly stepped out of line and was escorted by two peacekeepers, shorter than he was, to the stage. Moliere asked him if he had anything to say. When the camera zoomed in on his face, I could see he had a few piercings on his face. People didn't do that here in District 10, so I didn't get the appeal. Aiden had nothing to say to the District and just stood there.

"Alright now on to the ladies," Moliere picked a name from the top of the bowl and opened it. "Selene Davae!"

A girl from the 15 year Old Section, who was guarded by two peacekeepers, walked up to the stage. She had bright pink hair covering her face. She looked a mess in comparison to her District partner. The Capitol would fix her up and make her all nice a pretty before the Games. There were no volunteers for either tributes as is the way of District 3. The crowd remained silent with grim faces. I noticed that the families of these two tributes were absent. Maybe they had none.

"Aiden McFinnegan and Selene Davae our Tributes for District 3," Moliere wasn't expecting any praise from this District.

He took the hands of Aiden and Selene and put them together. I scanned the crowd for any sign of reaction maybe from a family member. The faces were all so cold and emotionless, a few had tears in their eyes because their children were safe for another year. Strangely I spotted an albino lady with two different colored eyes. That's odd for someone from District 3. The Reaping cut to District 4 and something distracted me from the screen. Two girls from my class were saying that boy from 3 was kind of cute. Too bad he was going to get killed in the Hunger Games on screen. I looked up to see if I could see my family. A flash of light blinded me for a second and I almost thought I saw that albino lady standing in the crowd. I blinked and she was gone. I must have been seeing things. So I turned back to the screen to watch District 4's reaping.

District 4 Reaping
Quinoa Soal of District 9

It was a sunny day in District 9, to bad because it was Reaping Day. Maybe I could make everyone happy somehow. I bought some cookies and muffin from my house. My mother won a Hunger Games before I was born of course, so maybe I can give a few people a treat. I handed them out to a few people before I get in line to have my blood drawn. The Peacekeepers wouldn't allow me to take any food beyond that point so I gave away my cookies as fast as possible. Everyone who got one thanks me and gave me a smile. That made me happy but it ended too soon when I had to get to my section. District 4's Reaping was on the big screens. I never been to the ocean but I bet it was beautiful. I remember one of my freinds told me that there was this guy from District 9, who was reaped into the 101st Hunger Games, that had been to the ocean before and even crossed it. In school we were taught that there was nothing beyond the ocean, however I bet that was a lie from the Capitol to keep our hopes down. The 101st Games was a long time ago so who knows if he did or didn't cross the ocean. Why would he come here anyways? I bet some of the people in District 4 would know if there was anything beyond the sea

The Escort for District 4 named Mumbulu Njovu was giving the usual speech about the Games. The crowd was roaring so loudly that I really couldn't hear his voice that well. Mumbulu was handsome though. Too bad he wans't out District Escort. Mumbulu wasn't like the crazy Capitol Escorts, and when I say crazy I mean that he didn't dress with outragous color schremes and wear a pound of make-up on his face. He had black hair, amber eyes and he was tall and muscular. He was also young for an Escort in his early twenties.

Anyways, I am getting off track because of the Escort's handsomeness. A person in the crowd shouted I volunteer before Mumbulu even finished with his speech.

"You're a little early," Mumbulu joked. "Well you all know what the Games are for. How about I skip the speech. It goes on for like another page and a half."

The crowd cheered with agreement. Mumbulu was a good Escort because he knew how to please the crowd. When he first started as an Escort when he was 19, he was the Escort for District 10 and they loved him but he got moved up a bit. District 4 just wanted to get to the drawing of names, unlike my District. They wanted the speech to go on longer so my District wouldn't have to know who was reaped. Mumbulu started with the boys first since it was a guy who volunteered. Another person, or maybe the same person volunteered again before Mumbulu even put his hand into the bowl.

"Our Tribute is..."

I couldn't hear the name because like a thousand boys yelled I volunteer all at once. Mumbulu just smiled.

"The boy is Sandy Shipwreck," Mumbulu repeated.

"I volunteered! In the crowd I was one of the people who volunteered and I didn't even know it was me! I should get to go for myself since I volunteered for myself."

"Alright Sandy, I guess that makes sense. Come up here."

A blonde haired boy from the 14 section came running up, passing the Peacekeepers completely. He looked like he belonged in District 1 rather than 4. It was amazing how eager people from District 4 were to get into the Games. Mumbulu greeted the boy and then went over to the girls boy.

"Our Female Tribute for District 4 is Cruise..."

"I volunteer!"

Someone was faster than the other girls but there was still a earth-shathering roar of volunteers and reasons why they should be picked.

"I allow someone to volunteer for me," the girl named Cruise said from the 12 year old section.

She was too young to go to the Hunger Games anyways. Probably would volunteer at the age of 18 like most Career Tributes. Mumublu had them gather the girl who was faster than the others to volunteer. She was older than Sandy from the 17 year old section. She introduced herself as...

"Naomi Eribach," she said clearly and confidently.

A few girls, probably Naomi's friends started to chant, "Nao, Nao, Nao" over and over again. I guess that was her nickname. Naomi didn't seem to impressed with her District partner maybe because he was so young. Then suddenly the TV screen fuzzed and for a split second I saw an image of a person, green and black, grin at the audience before the screen fixed itself and went back to the Reaping of District 5. I turned to my friends and asked "What was that?" They didn't see the face but they said it was probably a glitch. Oh well, the Victors for District 9 includign my mother were started to go on stage so I guess out reaping was begining.

District 5 Reaping
Xavier Thread of District 8

Due to technical difficulty, District 5's reaping was put on hold so the Reaping moved on to District 6. Go fingures, wasting my time anyways. Standing here freezing my nuts off...

After waiting for an District 6's Reaping to be done, out Escort was still not on the stage, because everyone was taking their sweet time getting in line. God damn it. It was a freezing day and I had to get up early to go to Reaping. District 5 looked nice and warm. Damn it, why the Hell did my parents have to get a post in District 8, of all the Districts. Well nothing I can do about it for now. District 5's Escort was one stage with a Victor or two. One of them I knew named Amalfi Crescent, she won like the 205th Hunger Games. I wasn't alive then though but my uncle went on and one about the different Hunger Games. Since I worked as an assasin, I had to learn about the Victors and stuff for some reason, keeping on eye on them.

Anyways, The Escort was called Woolf McDreamy, who had very faith scars on his face. He really didn't bother much with covering them up with make-up. I heard he survived an encounter with the Beast that stocks the Districts. Anyways, Woolf was probably the oldest Escort during the Hunger Games hosting this year. He didn't take to long with the speech, thank God. District 5 really didn't give a crap about the Hunger Games. So Woolf went to the draw of names.

"The name is Lakota Feah," he said.

A girl being held by two Peacekeepers was forced on stage. He looked like a mess. I remember my parents were given an assigment to catch her in the forest. They didn't take me so whatever. Anyways she was the female tribute this year. The Capitol put nothing but her name in the bowl, they want her dead. I am sure none of the other girls in District 5 knew this. They got lucky this year. When the Capitol wants to kill someone in Reaping age, they just fill the bowls with their name so they be Reaped into the Hunger Games and killed off by the other tributes or Gamemakers. The girl from District 3 was also going to be Reaped in this way.

"Hello Lakota," Woolf smiled at her. "That's a pretty name."

"Thank you..." Lakota muttered quietly.

I don't like quiet girls. Most of the girls in District 8 fear me so none talked to me but hell the really quiet ones really bother me. She probably get killed by someone or something. I take her out if I had the chance. Once Lakota was on stage and Woolf was done talking to her, he went over to the boys' bowl. There was no one the Capitol wanted toget rid of in District 5, that was a male of Reaping age. Anyone could be reaped this year.

"Chase Pansworth!"

A born from the 14 year old section was thrown on stage. He didn't look all that interesting so whatever. He didn't put up a fight, just excepted his death quietly. I bet both wouldn't make it very long in the Arena, however I heard from my parents when we visited District 14 that this year the Hunger Games were going to be very different, because of Kine.

"Hello Chase," Woolf greeted the boy.

"Hey," was all Chase could said.

"No that won't do. That is a terrible way to say hello to someone."

"Oh I'm sorry," Chase started over. "Hello I am Chase Pansworth. Please to meet you."

"That's better." Woolf smiled. "Now you and Lakota shake hands."

Awkwardly Chase and Lakota put their hands in on anothers and shook. I supposed it would be odd to do. Whenever I am in contract with someone I am usually hurting them. Then Woolf took both their hands putting one tribute on either side of him and held up their arms.

"Our tributes for District 5," he said loudly.

Well District 5 hasn't had too many good tributes. I kill both of them in a second if I had the chance. My name had only one slip in the bowl so my odds of getting picked were slim. Hell I kill people all the time so every job is a Hunger Games for me. Still I bet it be super fun.

District 6 Reaping
Selena Kyle of District 7

I was late to getting to the Reaping because I couldn't find my cat ears I like to wear. Some of the kids at school decided to play a little joke on me and hid my ears in a tree. I spend all morning climbing up that things, ruined my dress, just to get them back, but it was worth it. I don't feel right without them. I was the last person in line to get a blood sample. You think they remember me or something. I think they should give us papers to fill out and all they have to do is take our name. Whatever. I found my spot in the 17 year old sections. I was surpised that our Escort wasn't on stage yet. The reaping for District 6 was on the screen. I guess I will watch as I wait for things to get started. District's 6's Escort Kiboko Njovu was already on stage. He was the brother os Mumbulu Njovu the Escort for District 4. For some reaosn Kiboko liked District 6 and chose to stay there instead of moving to another District. Hehad already finished his speech and was getting to the names starting with the girls first.

"This years female Tribute is Paola Fernand."

The District was quiet as usually. District 6 wasn't a Career so no one was excited for the Games. A girl from the back ot the 18 year old section was bought up, kicking and screaming. It took four peacekeepers to get her on stage and stay here. Kiboko ignored the comotion and went to the boys' bowl. He waited for Paola to be calmed down and stop making so much noise.

"I'm not going!" Paola yelled.

"And your male tribute is..."

"I'm not going!"

"Okay Paola you're not going in alone. The male is Asper Dell."

"I volun...!"

"No I am going!" Asper yelled as he kicked the guy who was going to volunteer for him in the face.

Everyone in the crowd looked shocked. I was as well because normally people didn't volunteer in District 6 and second, Asper rejected someone volunteering for him. Asper jumped on stage from the 16 year old section. Kiboko went over to the boy.

"Now may I ask why you don't want someone to volunteer for you?" he asked Asper.

"I have to avenge my girlfriend," he replied rather angerily.

I liked this boy. He had fire in his eyes, maybe be it be enough for him to win this. I bet someone he knew, a sister or brother or a friend died in the Hunger Games a few years ago. I don't know I don't remember who was in the previous Hunger Games except who won of course. Well Kaluha was finally on stage and our reaping would begin soon. I was happy I had my cat ears with me.

District 7 Reapings
Asper Dell of District 6

After all the reaping for my District, the next one came on the screen which was for District 7. I asked my Escort if I could stay and watch the reaping. Kiboko nodded while they drug Paola off to the Town Hall so she could be placed in the waiting room to say goodbye to her friends and family. I wasn't ready yet to go say goodbye to anyone just yet. I was on a mission to avenge my girlfriend. She was reaped last year and won. I know that normally would be a good thing but she wasn't able to come back to me. I know who was at fault for this. I need to win this Game and free her so we can live together at the Victor's Village.

"Why do you want to watch District 7's Reaping?" Kiboko asked.

"I want to see who is going to be competing against me. I bet I can make an Alliance with a few of these people."

"You'll ally with the people from District 7?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I want to know what I am going up against." I responded without taking my eyes off the screen. "I want to know as much about my opponents aspossible."

The Escort for District 7 was a very beautiful woman who went by the name of Kaluha Nequoia. Her husband was reaped a few years ago into one of the Hunger Games. I was surprised to see her working as an Escort. She made no attempt to hide her hate for the Games and for that I kind of liked her. She had finished her speech that was was requiered to give at each Reaping, however she said it with the most distaind as possible. I am sure District 7 liked their Escort because she was on their side.

"Now what none of us came here to see..." Kaluha walked over to the bowls and put both hands in to each pulling out two names. "Our first tribute is Selena Kyle...and Rowan Winter..."

"Damn it!" a girl with cat earns yelled.

Selena kind of looked like she was from District 1 because of her hair and her face. She had on fake cat ears for some reason. Maybe she was crazy. Still Selena walked with confidents to the stage. I don't know if she was really good at hiding fear or if she was sure of herself, but she impressed me. Maybe I would ally with her. I know the Careers would probably be the strongest so a strong ally would benifit me and someone from 7 would be able to climb trees like me.

Before Kaluha had read the name off of the paper, she glanced down at the boy like she knew who he was. Strangely the crowd seemed happy that Rowan had been reaped. There was a empty circle around Rowan while he was in the 17 year old section. He turned and punched the closet person to him before going climbing on stage. Cearly he was irritated but I don't think it was because he was reaped. Kiboko, who was watching District 7's Reaping with me, whispered in my ear that Rowan the Eexcecutioner of District 7. Once on stage Rowan pulled out a knife when someone in the crowd said something negitive about him. Rowan tried jumpoff the stage to go stab a person in the aduiance but a peacekepper stopped him, however Rowan than turned on him instead.

"I think we should get a Volunteer," said the Mayor of 7. "You, Stanley, you parents who a debt, volunteer for Rowan and I'll make there problems go away..."

"No I am going!" Rowan yelled.

He had knocked the peacekeeper off his feet and was stabbing him repeatedly in the face with his knife. Selena had taken a few steps back and just watched the whole thing play out. The screen fuzzed for a second like the TV station was trying to go flip to District 8's Reaping but it switched back. I saw District 8, then a fuzzy screen, glimpses of District 7 and Rowan, than another fuzz, and the most strangest of all a person with very pale skin, wearing black appear for a second or two inbetween the fuzz. His hair was picth black with a neon green streak on the right side covering his eyes. He grinned as the TV screen flipped back to Rowan murdering the peacekeeper.

"Watch Capitol, watch!" The guy on the TV said while green liquid dripped out of his mouth.

The TV screen stayed on District 7's Reaping. I think someone was forcing the Capitol to watch this. A pool of blood had stained the stage. Rowan had taken the peacekeeper's gun and was holding the other off with it. Finally Kaluha jumped down on the gun's barral, kicked it out of Rowan's hand. She swiftly moved her feet so the gun was pulled out of his hands and kicked it up into her own.

"Enough Rowan," she said while she disarmed him. "Don't waste your time on these guy. You're have more fun killing people in the Hunger Games"

Rowan looked surpsided and a big awestrucked at Kaluha. Kiboko whispered to me that Kahula's husband Pantxo had thaught her a few tricks. He also worked as an Assasin and a Mercenary in District 11 much like Rowan. Kaluha then reached her hand out to Rowan and helped him up. She took a clothe from her sleeve and gently swiped the blood on of Rowan's face. To me it sounded like Kaluha truthly seemed sad and for that liked her.

"What do you think Asper?" Kiboko asked me. "Will you ally with them?"

"Maybe Selena if she will take me, but not Rowan. He's too unpredicable. I bet the Careers will want him."

"I think you made a wise choice." Kiboko smiled at me. "Now we better get going or the Peacekeepers here will drag you off and there is no Rowan to killed them for you."

"Alright... hey who was that when the screen was messing up?"

"Someone you don't need to know about..."

District 8 Reaping
Lakota Feah of District 5

I knew I was going to be reaped. I have been kept in a prison cell for the pass few months and I knew my the Capitol wanted to get rid of me. I've had time to think about it and come to terms with my fate.At least I will be re-united with my family. Since I was born in the mountains and lives most of my life there, I never had to deal with the Hunger Games. I know how to survive however. I can hunt, forage andset traps, a am good with a few weapons as well, my parents thought me mostly how to use knivfes or anything sharp. I was never too good with a bow and arrow but other people in the Games will be and I think I may ally with one of them.

I had thought about the Games while I was in my prision cell being tortured nearly to death. I knew what I wanted to do so when the Peacekeepers drug me into the train, I have never been in one before, I wanted to know who else was going into the Hunger Games with me. My District partner wasn't in a mood to talk to me at the moment. I didn't know how to work everything, the big TV screens at the reaping stage were amazing. I wonder how they got those people on there. I am from the mountains and never knew such things existed. So my Escort Woolf turned the magic screen on for me.

The Reaping for District 8 was on the screen. A very pretty lady who was called Jan Kriple was on the screen. She wore a pink outfit and had orange hair with streaks of blond. She was pretty. I wanted hair like that but my hair was black and messy. Jan was finished up the speech about the Hunger Games, I reall didn't know what they were for, my parents just told me they were bad, but Woolf's speech kind of explain things for me. Jan put her hand into the girls bowl, mixed the papers around befor pulling one out.

"Our lady Tribute is Reeba Graver!"

A rather thin mangey girl in the area for 15 year old was isolated from the other girls. He had dirt and scars on her face and was draped in rags. The peacekeepers came and gather her from the crowd. She really didn't put up much of a fight. Woolf had told me that people could volunteer for whoever was picked but some Distrcts that is rare,like District 8. I felt bad because she looked like she needed someone to volunteer for her. She probably wouldn't do well in the Games.

"Okay no volunteers?" Jan asked the crowd but no one replied. "Then we will move on tot he boys."

Jan turned to the second bowl filled with papers each with someone's name on them. She reach deep into the bottum. She opened the paper and read the name aloud so everyone could hear her clearly.

"Our Gentlement this year will be Xavier Thread!"

"Oh shit damn it!" Xavier said rather loudly from the boys area.

Xavier didn't wait for the peacekeepers to come and get him. He pushed everyone out of the way and climbed up on the stand. Jan commented that his name sounded fimiliar and asked if he had a sister. Xavier replied that she was reaped and killed in the Arena a few Games ago. Jan apolagized for the bad news.

"I'll avenge her," Xavier said coldly. "Reeba, untill we get into the Arena, I won't kill you."

Reeba stared at Xavier wide eyed. I guess she wasn't expecting a threat from her own District partner. Both Reeba and Xavier were the same age however Xavier seemed more fit than most of the childrenof District 8. I had a bad feeling about him, I don't know why, but after living in the mountains I knew danger when I saw it. I think I would avoid that guy while in the Games. Ahand on my should distracted me for second from the reaping.

"You want a cupcake?" Woolf asked me.

I didn't know what that was till he gave me one. I did not know sweet untill know.I was never allowed much food while I was tortured. and it wasn't very good. I ate my cupcake as I conitued to watch the screen for more Reapings. I probably wouldn't ally with anyone from District 8 even though I felt bad for Reeba, she just weight me down and Xavier was bad news. The screen flickered and when to the next District.

District 9 Reaping
Naomi Eribach of District 4

After being Reaped and all the goodbyes were all done a said my Escort Mumbulu came and gather me and Sandy. We got on the Train for our ride to the Capitol. I was on a train when I got arrested and taken to the Capitol, however I didn't really enjoy my trip. This time was different. My District partner Sandy wanted to watch the rest of the Reapings to see who we would be killing. I really didn't care at the moment.

"Hello District 9,"  Arcee Lebowski started off. "Too bad it is such a nice day for Reaping."

Arcee knew that District 9 didn't really care much for the Reaping as most none Career Districts. I remember this girl. She loved the colors purple and green. She also had three tattoos on her face that the Capitol people really didn't like so they tried to make her cover them up with make-up but she never did. This year she put some make-up on which only made her tattoos stand out even more. She was basicly saying F U to the Capitol. I liked her.

"Well I have to give the speech for the Hunger Games but we all know what they are really about." Arcee went on. "They are to keep you guys scared and afriad of the Capitol, but you know you don't have the fear them much longer. The Capitol now send their own children into the Hunger Games along with District 13. For those in the crowd before me, you need to stay strong. Don't let the Capitol beat you. they may try and take away your family and beat you when you stand up for yourself, but if enough of you get up and stand together the Capitol will be forced to listen. As your vioce gets loud their shit will get weak and we'll stomp them with our sneekers." District 9's expressin changed a little. I could see some smiles on some of the kids faces and some where nodding in agreement. I don't know why Arcee was still an Escort, she was originally from District 6. It seemed though that she had friends in high places.

"Now for the two I will betaking with me to face the Capitol, you two will respresent District 9. Show they how strong your District is. Never give up, never give in even till you draw you last breath. They can not own you if you never allow them to. These Hunger Games are not a curse, but they allow you to be set free from the pain of Panem. Ifyou die, you'll no longer have to deal with the crapthe Peacekeepers or the Capitol or anyone will force upon you anymore. If you win then you will havethe gifts of the Capitol at your finger tips."

"Arcee is really good with speeches," Mumbulu said with a smirk. "But I think she is losing focus."

"Why doesn't the Capitol get jsut rid of her?" Sandy asked.

"She is protected as all us Escorts are by very powerful people."

Arcee finished up her little speech about being yourself because that is the greatest threat to the rule of the Capitol. Apperently the Captiol could not change who you were. They made me paranoid.

"Alright now, I need one female and one male to come along with me to the Capitol," Arcee went over to the Girls' Bowla nd picked a name. "Quinoa Soal!"

A girl with red hair and a white headbane walked up tot he stand with a lot of confidences. She didn;t look too tough but the way she carried herself made me concern a little bit. I don't liek confident tributes from the None Career Districts. They make me worry. I looked over at my District partner Sandy. He was young but I needed an Alliance to survive.I probably could kill him easily but I needed him.

"Well Quinoa, I like you headbane," Arcee said to Quinoa as soon as she got on stage. "You have a pretty name."

"Thank you," Quinoa replied with a smile.

"Okay we have you femalae Warrior, now we need a male."

All I could think of was "Please don't be some yong brat. Please don't be some young brat!" I really didn't want a bunch of young kids running around for me to kill. I wanted a challange. Arcee went over to the Boys' Bowl and picked out a name.

"Any C," Arcee was cut off before she could finish saying the name but a scream.

The camera shifted to the 18 Year Old Section in the Boys rows. There was a circle of empty space around one guy with jet black hair and black clothing. He had stab one of the guys behind him.

"I volunteer..." was allt he guy said.

"My insides..." the guy who was stabbed muttered.

Several Peacekeepers came over to aid the boy while the other guy who volunteered stabbed fthe two who tried to Escort him to the stage. He went up by himself, a path was made by the boys in front of him. It seemed they were avoiding him as if they were afraid of him. He went to the stage and joined Quinoa who took a few steps back for safety.

"Okay then, and you name is," Arcee held up the mike to his mouth.

"Craig... Craig Albert Corios..."

"Okay CAC! We have our Male Tributes and he is a fighter!" Arcee then looked at Quinoa then back at Craig. "Why do you two have the same scars on your face? Oh we all match!"

"The Prowler..." Craig said in a low voice.

"The Prowler got me too." Quinoa added. "The Prowler of the Forest that stocks the lands beyond our feilds. That is why we are not allowed into the Forest for our own safety."

"Huh well those scars make you two look tought."

I didn't like either Tributes from District 9. The girl was too confident and that made me worry and the boy was not quite right and that was a problem. Crap, I wish these two were wimpy little kids. The Tributes from District 1 and 2 better be strong to help me kill off these people! Wait maybe they should be weaker than me so I can win. Crap!

District 10 Reaping
Aiden McFinnegan of District 3

"Take care of Kira for me okay!" I yelled to my mother's friend who was going to take care of my little sister for me.

I can't believe I had been Reaped. This is the worse thing ever to happen to me since when my mother died, now my little sister won't have a brother. It feels like all my family has been taken away from me. My Escort the most handsome Moliere and my District partner Selene were trying to confort me and distract my mind from what was going to happen.The turned on the TV in the train, unfortunately it was on the Reaping for District 10. The Escort Loredo Mentawai was talking about the Hunger Games. I really didn't want to watch the Reapings but Moliere said that it would be good to have an idea who was going to compete in the Hunger Games with me. He also said that most of the Careers were younger this year, thus they would be less experienced. Maybe that would help me out a bit but still they had some form of training while I did not.

Loredo was the second youngest Escort we had this year, a lot of new Escorts had been popping up since our new President had taken power. Loredo was young and handsome I guess, or at least the ladies liked him. He kind of looked like he was from District 1 but I heard from Moliere that Loredo was from District 12. Somehow he became an Escort because of his appearance. Being born with good looks seemed to help people out a lot now-a-days. Loredo wasn't dressed all the fancy, I guess because he was at District 10, where the animals come from.

"Loredo is handsome," Selene said.

"What's he wearing?" Moliere commented. "He knows how to dress appropriately for the District."

"Does it matter?" I asked.

"District 10 likes Loredo because he behaves more on their level and even dresses like them, even though his clothes are cleaner."

Loredo had on a red shirt and some overalls compete with a blue-green tie that didn't really match the rest of his outfit. I guess that is the way of a none Capitol born. Loredo was finishing up his speech. District 10 was pretty quiet like my own District, except you would hear a crow or a chicken in the background every now and then. A sheet apperently had gotten out of it's pin and ranup on stage followed by a sheep dog. Loredo paused for the moment and watched the two animals run around the stage and then jump off into the crowd.

"Haha well then, I guess they are getting tired too," Loredo laughed. "Lets just get to the names."

Loredo went over to theboys bowl first, he mixes it up a bit every year. Last year he drew from the girls' bowl first so this year he went to the boys' bowl. Loredo wasgoing to reach into the bowl but his blue-green tie hung down and got in his way.

"The Capitol told me this time I had to wear a tie," Loredo explained. "They didn't like my outfit last year. Well I wore a tie and now look at what it is doing? Stupid tie..."

Loredo slipped his tie back around his neck before taking a name from the top of the bowl. He opened the paper and looked at the name.

"Frankie Moorland?" Loredo questioned. "Huh, sounds fimiliar for some reason. Do I know you?"

A boy from the 18 year old section had escorted by two large peacekeepers to the stage. Loredo greeted Frankie and shook his hand.

"You name, have we met before?"

"No I do't think so." Frankie responded with.

"Okay Frankie. Well just stand there and look pretty while I get us a girl," Loredo said before he went over tot he girls' bowl. "Let's see our female tribute is... Grace Pearson. Oh pretty name!"

A young girl who was indeed pretty was brought up tot he stage. I felt my throat tighten becayse she was only 13. Even though she was years older than my little sister I couldn't help but get reminded Kira. He rubbed my sister's blue ribbon in my hand.

"Hello Grace, nice to meet you," Loredo shook her hand as well. "I like you hair. Is that hair band going to be your Token? It is very pretty."

"No I don't want to get it dirty..." Was all Grace could mutter. I could tell she was trying to to dry on TV.

"Oh okay here you can have my tie as your token," Loredo slipped his odd colored tie out his neck and gave it to Grace.

Watching the Reaping was drepessing me ever more. I didn't want to watch anymore. I sat in my chair slipped my sister's ribbon through my fingers. I had my Token. I suppose I would never see my little sister again. At least she didn't have to watch me die on TV since she wasn't old enough to know what was going on. I am sure most of the people in this Game probably have sad depressing stories and lost loved once, but my sister only has me. There should be a Hunger Games were the person with the most saddest story gets to live or something stupid like that. I bet I would win. Then fuzzing sound ont he TV caused me to look up.

"Oh not again," Moliere grumbled. "He's been doing that all day."

"Who?" I asked.

"Oh you will probably meet him in the Arena..."

District 11 Reaping
Konlok Vice of District 2

Ivory was taking forever saying goodbye to District 1. I guess she had the right to since we may not come back. I didn't really think much about it but there is a slight chance one of us wheren't coming back. Ivory was nice but I mayhave to kill her. Hopefully she wouldn't kill me, if anything maybe someone else would do us in. Imagine if We were the last two? District 2 was pretty good at surviving till the end. I wondered if I was ready. I am only 16, maybe I should have waited till I was 18 like normal District 2 tributes. Still Ellie-Jade picked me. I wonder why. I was never nice to him. I picked on him a lot in school. I mean his name, Ellie-Jade, kind of girly. I wonder why he picked me?

I felt a tap onmy shoulder. It was my Escort Crumble. Ivory had been dragged in by some peacekeepers because she was taking too long, waving at people. People she may not see again. I wonder if I did the right thing. My parents were pround of me but I may never see them again. I've train, a lot longer than other people my age. Yes I deserved to go. However maybe it I trained till I was 18 I be even more ready?

"What?" I asked.

Crumble had said something to me but I missed it.

"District 11's Reaping is on TV," he repeated.

District 11, had a lot of trees. District 2 had some tress but they were really just there to make the place look nicer. You know what? I like trees. It be cool to visit the other Districts. I wished I had before I volunteered. Wow there was lots of stuff I haven't done before the Hunger Games. Well if I win I can at least visit the other Districts during the Victor's Tour, but I may have to kill a few people from those Districts. Better kill them fast so they don't suffer. At least I can say that to their families. That would still be awkward though. You know these Hunger Games arekind of bad now that I think about it. Kids killing each other. Without the Hunger Games I bet the Districts would be a littler happier, and no one would really kill each other, except in the poorer Districts. Huh never really thought about it before. Oh well I gotta do what I gotta do to survive.

"What do you think Konlok?" Crumble asked.

"I can take her on," Ivory hissed.

"Yeah sure," I mutter. I missed part of the Reaping. "People from District 11 are a lot tougher than other none Career Districts."

"Yeah but we trained our whole lives."

"Yes, but climbing tres makes them strong." I said. "Let's see who the males is."

The Escort for District 11 was very pink woman, I mean she was wearing a lot of pink and even had pink hair! Too much pink. A little is nice and I know girls like the color pink, but this was a lot. She had a little bit of blue. Anyways, her named was Shallot Maure, Crumble had to tell me because I missed her name. I wonder if the Escort ever talk to each other? They probably do.

"Our male tribute is Conner Machado!: Shallot said.

"Oh my god I am going to die..." Conner said as the peacekeepers collected him.

"Don't worry Conner," Shallot tried to confort him a bit. "You are a big strong gug. A big should handsome guy. I am sure you will do fine, especially with the ladies."

Conner looked at Shallot awkwardly. Ivory made a comment about flirting with him to try and trick him. I don't think that was a good idea. Conner didn't seem interested in the pink lady, why someone with mile long hair? Maybe they be a problem in the Arena. Well at least we have something to make rope out of if we every need it.

"Okay out Tributes for District 11 this is are Conner Machado and Skye Silverguard," The Female Tribute surpised me. She was young, probably one of the youngest Tributes this year. She didn't look like the ragular Female Tribute from 11. She looked like she was from District 1. Her hair was long and blonde almost white. I bet that was what made Ivory upset. Skye was very pretty even with her scars on her face and what happen there? She had hidious scars going across her face from her hairline to her lower jaw. I bet if it wasn't for her scars, or maybe it wouldn't matter as some people in District 1 have training scars, Skye would fit right on in. Conner also wasn't the usual District 11 Male Tributer either but well whatever.

"Well looks like it is time I go get your Mentor. Had to do a raffle in order to pick one this year." Crumble said as left the room to get our mentor.

"So Konlok," Ivory turned to me. "Do you want to? You know?"

"No!"

District 12 Reaping
Jake Lehouk of District 1

So my parents were proud of me for volunteering. My mother gave me a lock of her hair for my token. I tied it together with some string and put in into my pocket. Then I boarded the train with my Escort Ricou and my District partner Chloe. The inside of the train was like being in my house except it moved on a track. Chloe waved out the window at her friends and the trained started. I sat down and turned on the TV because I didn't know what else we would do to past the time. District 1 was a lot closer to the Capitol so we be there in no time. District 12's Reaping was on. Beside District 13, District 12 is one of the farthest Districts from the Capitol. Now that I think about it, time for them was different than ours so they did their Reaping at a different time.

The Escort named Eigg Hudson was getting ready to do the Reaping. He was like 21 or something so he was one of the youngest Escorts this year. Eigg had blonde hair with blue streaking on the front. He was originall from District 4 so he was very handsome, not as good looking as me of course. Eigg picked out a name from the Girls' Bowl.

"Slyder Crescendo please coem to the stage!"

"Fuck!" Slyder yelled. "You're never taking me alive!"

Two peacekeepers went to get Slyder but she jumped over the head and shoulders of the girls in front of her. Using the wall to lunch herself, Slyder twisted and kicked both peacekeepers in the helmets.

"Oh we got a fighter!" Eigg said.

"I volun..." a girl in the 13 year Section was about to say in an extremely timit quiet voice she was almost unhearable. .

"No!" Slyder yelled. "Don't volunteer for me!"

Slyder went up to the stage. Eigger had to ask who was the girl. Slyder commented that it was her sister. I guess Slyder was being a good big sister and not allowing her little sister to fight her battles. When another Peacekeeper came over to contain Slyder, she kicked him in the knee and he went over.

"Bloody hell damn it," Slyder muttered to herself as Eigg picked out a boy's name.

"Our male tribute is Teeelllahvie? Tiba Timba, the hell is this? "Eigg said. "Who named their kid this? Stop naming you kids weird names."

"Tilavie," Slyde attempted the read the name. "I never met this person."

"Oh my god it's me!" Someone from the 14 Section yelled. "It's Telav Tibaabi."

Telav walked up to the stage. His hair was like so blonde it was almost white! He sure didn't looked like he was from District 12. His hair would make him stand out in any Arena except for a snowy one. He be an easy kill, just look for his hair. Telav didnt' look to tough but the girl, Slyder. She be some trouble but nothing I can handle.

"Okay so out Tributes this year is Slyder an Tivi!"

"It's Telav," the boy corrected.

"Not anymore Tivi," Eigg said back.

Chloe didn't think too much of the tributes of District 12. Well maybe District 13 would be different.

District 13 Reaping
Oona Jaina Cree of The Capitol

I wasn't really there or here. I don't think I know where I am. As long as it is not the Arena I am okay with where ever I am. Some Smick did caused me to turn my head. The TV was entertaining it's self. Smick pointed that the last Reaping was taking place. Good maybe they won't call my name. That's all I hear echoing in my head.

"District 13 usually has some good tributes. You think any will be Careers this year?" Smick asked me but I didn't say anything.

Suddenly our Escort Ernesto bursts into the room.

"Crap did I already do the Reaping?" he asked.

"Yes...?" Smick responded slowly. "Don't you remember. You were there."

"No! Crap! He did the Reaping didn't he? Did I do anything crazy?"

"Not as crazy as District 7's Reaping."

"Damn it I wanted to do the Reaping." Our Escort sat down.

I don't know what was wrong with him but at this moment I really didn't care. I was busy thinking. Maybe I should form a plan. Not too many Capitol people became Victors but there were a lucky few. I wondered if I should ally with Smick or find other people to ally with. He volunteered so maybe he knew what he was doing. I really didn't have much to offer though.

"Do you know what the Arena will be like Ernesto?" Smick asked. "Or can you not tell us?"

"I don't know something about a city," Ernesto waved his hand. "Just watch the TV kid."

The Escort for District 13 was the same creepy guy they had for the past few years. He lived in District 13 or more so was from it originally. He just wore a black robe with a hood so you could not see anything else but his pale skin and purple eyes. His name was Marxxs McGee, who was related to a past Victor of District 7. He looked a bit like the Grim Reapper, how appropriate. Marxxs was about to picked a name from the boys' bowl.

"Thomas Adrian Parker," Marxxs said in his emotionless voice.

He wasn't making the Reaping any better with his outfit or the way he talked. I was glad he was not our Escort, even if Ernesto was a bit weird.

A boy with multicolored was taken to the stage. Ernesto commented on his hair. He was no older than 13 since that was the second where he came from. He had one some sort of markings on his forhead like a tattoo? I wasn't sure but he looked odd for someone from District 13. He didn't look too amazing. Maybe he wouldn't be a Career.

Marxxs was getting to the girls' bowl. He picked a name from the top, he was know to do that often. Before he could read the name or even open the paper, someone yelled a volunteer.

"Please come to the stage," Marxxs said into the mike.

A young girl with orange hair ran up to the stage eagerly. Wow I guess she was really excited.

"What's you name?"

"I am Sloan Gardner," the girl stated.

"How old ar eyou?"

"I am 12 and don't underestimate me. I am a fighter, been training my whole life to join the Hunger Games."

Sometimes people in District 13 trained, if their families could afford it. District 13 wasn't a full Career District, about half of their tributes were Careers while the other half were not. Sloan seemed a little too eager to get into the Games, she wa sonly 12 years old, barely old enough to even been Reaped. Marxxs didn't seem to be effected by her ecstatic personality. Everyone else seemed surpised that she would volunteer. It wasn't uncommon in District 13 but to be so young. It seemed this years Hunger Games had a lot of young tributes and the new Gamemakers had something awful planned for us. Well the Reapings were over and I knew who were going in with me and who probably would kill me.

"So the other Tributes will be arrive at the Capitol later," Ernesto said. "What do you want to do?"

"Can we train?" Smick asked.

"They won't let you in the Training Arena yet."

"Can I talk to someone?," I finally said something.

"Oh so she can talk?" Ernesto joked which made me a little angry.

"Of coure I can talk!" I yelled.

"Alright. Who you want to talk to?"

"My friend Josef." I told him.

"Oh you got a boyfriend?" he asked. "Didn't you get enough time to say your goodbyes already? Fine then you can use the phone to call him because I can't let you leave the building."

I felt a little better knowing I could talk to my friend, even if it was over the phone. It's only been like an hour since I was Reaped but I already miss him. The TV flicked again as it had been doing all day as I picked up the phone. Before I dialed the numbers I heard music coming from the other line. That was weird but it stopped when I hit the first number.

Revived The Reaping
Gerald Durrell of District 13

I was forced to wake up from my sleep by one of the keepers. They gathered us, all of us Revived in one room. They rarely did this so this meant something important. The big sceen at the front of the room flicked on. Kine came on the TV. He announced that today was Reaping Day for the Hunger Games. I can't believe its been a whole year since I was Reaped. I still don't know who won my Hunger Games.

"So my little pretties," Kine conitued. "This year is a special Hunger Games because you guys get to be in it again!"

I don't think anyone knew what to think after hearing that. Mosty everyone seemed un-impressed. We already went though a Hunger Game and died so why would we want to do it again? Were they doing another Vengance Game? I really didn't want to be apart of it.

"Now this Game is going to be different from usual Hunger Games, but you guys don't need to worry too much about that. Only a few of you can go into the Arena, so we will have our own little Reaping. How does that sound?"

No one said anything. We learn to never question or go against anything Kine says.

"Now I know most of you guys probably don't want to go through another Hunger Games again, but this time you gusy won't have to worry about dying. You don't hav to kill each other, only the new tributes who will be entering the Arena."

Well I could tell there was a sign of relief from mostly everyone who wasn't a Career. I didn't kill anyone in my Hunger Game or at least I think. I probably could get away with it again as long as I wasn't too hungy. Kine held up a glass bowl similar to the one used for the Districts' Reaping. One side fo the bowl was filled with pink and blue paper notes.

"Now let's get to the drawing of names. This bowl here holds all your names. The blue papers are boy names and the pin are for girls. Easy enough."

I held my breath as Kine picked out the first name. It was a blue paper so he could be my name. I felt like I did the day I was originally reaped.

"Bluestar Ngome, your our first tribute!"

I looked to Bluestar who didn't seem to happy about this. His Game wa slong before mine and we didn't talk much since she arrived here. One of the keepers hooked Bluestar's collar witha pole and pulled him out of the crowd. That's how they handled us, everyone wore a collar. They used those to keep track of our location and it also worked as a shock collar in case we did something bad. We were kind of treated like animals in a way. We were just sitting ont he ground in the anouncement room.

"Okay our next tributes is a female," Kine pulled out a pink paper. "Cleo Welsh!"

Cleo was Theo's twin sister who died before she even entered the Arena. I remmeber four tributes were reaped for their Game and had to fight each other before they could go to the Hunger Games. The three remaining tributes got to go to the Arena. I met Theo because he was working as a Mentor for my Game.

Alex Golden was Reaped next followed by a girl named Hanna Mason. Pamline Falcone, Ivi Cade, Pirate Mast, Jay Sparrow, Emerald Yacht and Holly Edwardson were Reaped.

"Okay an another male," Kine picked a blue paper out of the bowl. "It is Gerald Durrell!"

Crap I got reaped. Oh well I guess I have to do this thing now. Most of the people didn't seem to happy about being reaped. At least I didn't have to worry about dying. Kine continued the Reaping.

Fabio Baton, Jackie Devilin, Geneive Terrion, Yuna Besaid, Gin Tonic, Melony Yanis, Petra Liit, Serelle Calter, John Kirk, Cornelius Richards, Oreale Gae, Isis Hathora, Robin Slide, Ayaan Hlupe and Leeya Gongzhou were reaped. The only person who was in my Game was Fabio and he didn't interact with me much. I turned and looked at Lucas. He was pretty happy he didn't get to go and he let me know it. I noticed that Battleaxe wasn't in the room, actually I hadn't seen him in a while. Something happen to him during his weird muttation the scientists did on him. As the keeper was coming to get me, Lucas pointed out that Jackie was also in our Game. I forgot about her. No one from my Alliance would be in this Game. Maybe if we were going Alliances, I go with Fabio and Jackie, but Kine said all we had to do was mess with the new tributes and keep the Game going as long as possible.

Everyone who was reaped was taken to another room. We had a few days before the Hunger Games would start so they wanted to get us all ready for it too. On the TV was the Reaping for the New Tributes. I didn't know anyone really but I recongized the two District 13 tributes, I didn't know them but I remembered seeing them around. Well here we go again. Another Hunger Game for me but this time I will do better. I won't make the same mistake again.

Pre-Games
Which will consisted of things like training, forming alliances, maybe Chariot rides and interveiws.

Reeba Alyce Graver of District 8

So we arrived at the Capitol finally. I don't think I could spend another second on the train with Xavier. He made it perfectly clear he doesn't like me. I spend the past few hours listening to ways he is going to kill me. Well I least I know now what to look out for. Our Escort Jan led us to the building we would be calling home before we die in the Arena. A few other Districts had arrived already however we were not the last. My room had to be right next to Xavier's so I'll be keeping my door locked.

After settling down in my new living arrangments, which was better than at home other than the fact that I had to still worry about someone hurting me, I decided to go talk to my Mentor Ayleta Hier. She is really old and one of our few District 8 Victors. She was kept alive all these years by being hook to this machine till recently. The new scientist some how did this new experiment on her that revived her body a few years back. She now appeared to be in her 60's, which with our mechine is like the new 30's. I don't know what they did but it worked. Ayleta knew a lot about the Hunger Games, she has seen many so I trust her advice.

"Since you have nevery few fighting skills," Ayleta went on. "Focus on survival instead. Let the other tributes killeach other off. Try and find a place with good resources and stay put. Avoid the other tributes and keep a low profile. That be the best way for you to win."

"What about Xavier?" I asked.

"He would be one of the other tributes you should avoid."

"Yeah I know," Xavier said he wouldn't kill me till we got into the Arena. I hope he keeps his promise. I want to enjoy my last three days alive. Ayleta was very smart. I think I will take her advice.

Frankie Moorland of District 10

I couldn't sit still in my room but they weren't letting us into the Training Room till everyone was here. I had to wait till it wasmy turn to be prepped and head off to the the Stylist who was Ernesto the Escort for the Capitol. Right now he was busy with the tributes from District 2. I could see other people were arriving when I looked out the window. I don't know how many people were here but I hope everyone would get here soon. Waiting was driving me crazy.

There was a lot of food in my room, like on the train, but I didn't want any. Now that I have all the food in the world I don't want it. I can't eat. My Mentor had disappared after we got off the train. Maybe they would let me see the horses for the chariot ride. When we were busy being Reaped, they picked up the horses for the charito rides from my District. I heard the horses in the train. I think they took Blossom, a paint horse. I recongized the sound she made.

My thoughts were interupted when I heard something going on outside my room. I opened my door and a neon green hair guy was dragging a some sort of machinary outside my room. I didn't want to ask because he was kind of weird look. He just smiled at me and some kind of glowing green fluid dripped out of his mount and nose. I just turned back into my room and closed the door. I decided to just watch TV and stay in my room. I was lucky enough to find a show about horses and friendship.

Ivory Kranium of District 2

So we were getting prepped for the Chariot rides. The Stylist who was the Escort for the Capitol was debating on what to do with my hair.

"We can cut it," he said to his assistant.

"You're not cuting my hair!"

"We can color it."

"You're not coloring my hair."

Ernesto flip my hair forward so it covered my face.

"You look like Cousin It," he laughed. "Oh wait I forget you don't know what they it... Well maybe I will dress you like Rapunzel."

"Doesn't our outfit have to reflect our District?" I asked.

"Oh yeah... District 2 is like the pets of the Capitol." I knew where he was going so glared at him. "Well I don't want to dress you like an animal soooo. Maybe I'll just drap you hair around you body and you'll just wear that."

God this guy couldn't get over my long hair. I wasn't going out there wearing nothing but my own hair even if he was joking. I looked over and saw Konlok giggling at me. Ernesto started to comb my hair and pin it up.

"I think I know what I should do for the both of you." He finally said with a smile.

I wasn't sure what he was going to do but as long as they left my hair alone.

Smick Trinket of the Capitol

Now that I sat waiting for the other Districts tributes to arrive and visit Ernesto and his stylist team. It was weird tht there was only one prep team this year. Ever since Billy Van Helsing became the President, the Hunger Games have been different. I think she liked wathcing people get killed or something, I don't know. I sat all dressed for the Chariot Rides after Ernesto was done with me and Oona. She sat beside me waiting too. We didn't really talk much. She was a grade above me so we didn't really know each other.

Our Escort Ernesto's was nice and his weirdness kept my mind off of the Hunger Games. I bet this was how the None Career Districts felt before entering the Games. At least I trained a litter so I stood some chance but still there were some scary people who would be going into the Hunger Games with me.

"Do you want to ally with the Careers," I asked Oona.

She just shrugged at me. I did not know if I was good enough for the Careers. I wasn't really good with any weapon particular but anyone could swing a sword or stab with a knife. I didn't know if Oona was good with any weapons either.

The boy from District 3 walked pasted me with a blue ribbon in his hands. I guess Ernesto was done with the Tributes from District 2. The guy from 3 was really tall compared to me. Now that I think about it most of the tributes looked young this year. I wished my parents waited till I was 18 to volunteer. Maybe I should have kept things to myself. The girl from 3 came into the room and joined her partner at Ernesto's station. Then I heard something loud fall and the doors bursted open. A guy with green hair wearing purple pushed a large machine of some kind into the room.

"What are you doing," Ernesto yelled at him.

"I am fixing the Broken Machine," the guy replaied with green goo come out of his mouth.

"Put that back where you found it Snotbubble!" Ernesto order. "You know the Broken Machine needs to remain broken!"

"Awe, okay..." The guy appropreatly called Snotbubble signed. "What are you doing? Can I help?!"

Before Ernesto could answer, Snotbubble dropped everything he was carrying, gears, wires, a toaster, tools, and some nuts and bolts, and dashed over to the prep area. He began to picked up everything ont he table, examining them before tossing them aside.

"Stop that!" Ernesto grabbed him from behind and picked him up lifting him away from the table. "You're getting you slim everywhere!"

Paola Fernand of District 6

I was waiting for my turn with the weird stylist named Ernesto. Then an even weirder guy called Snotbbuble came into the room and was causing trouble.

"Don't you have to work on the Arena," Ernesto asked him.

"Oh yeah, the Arena!" Snotbubble said excitedly as he dashed out of the room leaving all the stuff he brought in with him just laying on the ground. The guy from 3 went over and collected it, taking to his corner. I rubbed my arm. I had gotten burn when I helped a man out of a burning building in the martet place. My Escort Kiboko had bandagedme up a bit and told me once we got to the Capitol I could get some medicine for my burns. I hadn't received any yet.

While waiting for a turn with Ernesto or waiting for everyone to be done, there were things to occupy up, like a video game area, a TV, some books and magazines and food. The Careers had taken over the video games while the TV was occupied by the people from the Capitol, 5, 9 and 10. Latoka was trying to explain to Quinoa how the TV worked. Aiden was sitting in his conner taking the things Snotbbuble had left apart and then putting them back together. Asper was looked at a book about survival so I sat by myself.

I just wanted this all to be over but yet I didn't want to ever get to the actual Game. I probably should have been making friends and formed Alliances but I didn't feel like it at the moment. I knew I probably would die but I couldn't stand the waiting. My stomach felt like it was full of warm oil. Then my legs started to twitch and shake as if I were cold but I wasn't. I felt dizzy as if I woudl blackout and my heart started to beat real slow like it was going to stop. God what was wrong with me? I felt like I was dying. I didn't want to die. Not like this. All I wanted to do was lie down but I was scared to give in. What should I do? Should I tell someone? Who could I tell? Where was Asper and Kiboko. I couldn't see them because everything started to fade away into blackness from the corner of my eyes like I was being closed in. The last thing I saw was the wall and then the ceiling.

Chleo Madison of District 1

What was that? Oh God the girl from 6 just collapsed! Hilarious! Wait is she okay? Did she just die or something? How adre she? Before we even get to kill people in the Arena she goes and dies on us?! A crowd gathered around her. Ernesto pushed them out of the waywith his sheathed sword. Naomi was up front with him as he examined her. The Escort for 6 came into the room.

"Paola! What happen?! Is she okay?!"

"Yeah, I believe she just faithed from a panci attack," Ernesto told him calmly. "Just take her to her room and watch her."

"She probably be an easy kill then," Konlok said.

"Dude, how mean," Aiden from 3 snapped back.

Konlok just shrugged and went back to playing video games with Jake. Paola was taken to her room with Kiboko and Asper, her District partner, close behind. Well with that over everything returned to normal till it was the guy from District 8 turn to see Ernesto. He didn't want to wear whatever it was Ernesto wanted him to wear.Ernesto had to put a lot of make-up on Xavier's District partner Reeba to cover up her scars and bruises.

"I'm not wearing that!" Xavier yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You need to match Reeba. You only have to wear this for a night, a few hours. Then you can take it off."

"No don't touch me!" Xavier started to kick his legs out.

Enresto strapped him to the chair so he couldnt' move but that didn't stop Xavier from screaming and fighting.

"Fine I didn't want to do this but you left me no choice."

Ernesto placed large headphones over Xavier's ears. Within a few seconds Xavier calmed down and stopped moving. He just started at the ceiling. While Ernesto was finishing up with Xavier, District 11 arrived finally. The last District who hadn't shown up yet were Distrits 7, 12 and 13 because they were the fatherest from the Capitol. When Ernesto was finishing up with both Tributes from 8, Asper, who had returned to the room when it was 9's turn, started to complain about being dizzy. Great something is wrong with both of 6's. Ernesto stopped what he was doing and went over to him and checking him out.

"Vertigo," was all Asper said.

"Okay just sit here with your eyes closed. If you don't feel better soon they you should go back to your room."

Asper recovered after a while when the last three District 13, 12, and 7 arrived.

Skye Silverguard of District 11

I was nervous about my turn with the Stylist. Ernesto was going to have to touch my face and I didn't want him too. He was finishing up with District 8, after he took care of Asper from District 6. Ernesto was also a Doctor somehow. I was sitting with my partner Conner. It was awkward on the train with him. He was four years older than me. He was polite and kept his eyes off of my scars. We didn't talk much, thank god for Shallot. She talked most of the time and kept our minds off of the Hunger Games.

Ernesto called over the Tributes from Districrt 9. Quinoa and Craig went over to him and his crew. Quinoa wanted to keep her headbane on.

"I need to work with the color fo your hair. I love it!" Ernesto then turned to the boy. "You're not going to like what I plan on putting on you so I need to twick it a bit."

Ernesto didn't spend much time on the 9 people because he wasnted to keep their natural beauty. I guess he thought they were beautiful. I couldnt' help but wonder what he would think of me. Quinoa seemed to like the attention. She wanted Ernesto to put up her hair and style her nails and put lot so mack-up on her, so he changed his plans and did what she wanted a bit while sticking to his original idea. Then he started on the boy. The guy just sat there and said nothing.

"Sorry I have to dress you up and put make-up on your face," Ernesto apolagized. "But I have to so you'll get lots of sponsors, maybe from pretty girls... or boys, whatever you prefert."

He finished up with hte Tributes from District 9 and soon sent them on their way. Then he called over the Tributes from District 10. Frankie wanted to be a horse but Ernesto just looked at him.

"No Flutterskies and Pinkie Pies here boy," Ernesto said but I didn't get what he meant. "There be horses pulling your Chariot. I think the people would get confused if you looking just like them."

"Can I see the horses?" Frankie asked.

"Maybe after the Chariot Rides."

Ernesto cleaned them up and did their hair. Enresto seemed to really like stylish hair. He put feathers in Grace's hair and di her make-up. Then he finished up Frankie. It felt like it took forever but it was soon out turn. Conner took my hand and led me over to the Stylist Area. "Okay let's see what we have here" Ernesto stopped to look at us. "So what does your District do?"

"We collect fruists and nuts," Conner answered him.

"Okay, I think I will do fruit hats. Yes little one," Ernesto pointed to me. "Come here."

I sat on the chair and held still. The crew started doing things and worked on Conner a bit while Ernesto was doing something. He turned around with some hair combes and scissors in his hands. He started on my hair. He strimmed a few inches off and and combed it out. He didn't take too much off and just evened it out before he pinned my hair up. Then he stopped and looked at my face.

"You have pretty eyes. I want to bring those out."

"Please don't touch my face," I begged him.

"Yoo want me to make you look good for the Capitol people. You will need sponsors. You're wounds have healed over. They shouldn't hurt anymore. Don't worry I am a doctor."

"I don't anyone to touch my face."

"Did you see how pretty I made Reeba? I'll do the same for you." Ernesto poke me on the nose.

"Kay..." I agreed.

After first whenever Ernesto lifted his hands to my face, I flinched alittle. I could see my father's fist coming at me. Ernesto had nicer hands though. He told me to close my eyes and that helped a little and the make-up felt good on my face too but still I couldn't get the pain out of my head. Then Ernesto put some music one. It was music I never heard before. All instermental I think, sounded high-tech. Some how that made me feel btter.

Sloan Gardner of District 13

We finally arrived at the Captil just a few minutes before District 7 who was the last District to arrive. We had missed all the fun. The girl from 6 faithed and the guy from 8 fighting with the stylist. Thomas was too excited to be at the Capitol that it was sickening. He wouldn't stop talking about the Capitol all the way here. Marxxs, our Escort answered Thomas' stupid questions in one word sentances. God I just wanted to punch himbut Thomas kept moving around.

By the time we arrived the Stylist was working on the Tributes from District 12. When Ernesto was done and ready for us, I pushed Thomas out of the way. I was going first. Ernesto had us put on armored toxic waste suits for our chariot ride outfit. He also wanted toput gas masks on us but Thomas commented that it would cover our faces and sponsors wouldn't be able to seeus well.

"Well I was going for a Fallout looked but okay," Ernesto said.

"Fallout?" the girl from 4 questioned. She had been pocking around here and there and it was getting annoying.

"Oh yeah you guys don't know about video games." Ernesto replied to her. "Here I will do a little more on your make-up and you will be done."

I didn't think it was possible but Thomas was even more annoying than before. He talking about everthing Capitol related. He kept asking Ernesto about what it was like livining in the Capitol, about the clothes and outfits. God I just wanted to end him! When Ernesto was done with us, he started on Asper from 6 and later Paola went she recovered. Soon we were all done and ready for the Chariot Rides. I just wanted to be done with this all and get to the Games. We were hurried off to the chariots. Frankie from 10 stopped to say hello to a paint horse named Blossom who was pulling the chariot for 7. A peacekeeper shoved him along to his chariot.

Charito Rides
Telav Tibaabi of District 12

"It's a love night to have the Chariot Rides!" Kariros annouced. "We got a lovely parade prepared for you."

I was holding tightly to the Chariot handle bar. I have to admit I wasn't total okay with this. We weren't strapped in. Slyder thought it was cool but how ere we supposed to control the horses. I could heard the crowd cheering for the parade floats. The President wanted a bigger celebration that just chariot rides this year. She thought it was kind of boring and pointly if the Capitol people gather for like five minutes of chariots and a little speech by the President. There were fireworks which I though would spook the horses but they seemed pretty calm.

Beside us, there would be some floats for each of the Districts. They were eleabrate so I guess they built those before we were even reapped. I over heard Ernesto comment that we were supposed to ride on those but out of trudition the Tributes would ride on the chariots. There was also a marching band that came out before us and some dancers and balloons. It was the craziest celebration I have ever seen. Finally it was our turn and the horses started to move on their own once they hear a signal.

"I guess the horses will go on their own," Slyder said to me.

The Capitol started us off. Smick and Oona were dressed in colorful outfits made of silks and feathered beaded with jewels. Smick has on a torquoise and magenta suit with a ring of feathers. Precious gems drapped from his head and around his neck. He has one a crowd. Oona has one a dress of the same colors with jewels haning from her weist, neck and head. Kariros the announcer said they wer every modern. The Capitol chariot was pulled by white horses that had feather head dresses to match Smick and Oona's outfits.

Jake and Chloe from District 1 were dressed in what Kariors said "Indian atire." I don't know what that means. Chloe had on a long dress like robe that was red with a gold floral pattern. She had one lots of gold beans around her neck and head. Jake was dressed in a similar outfit but he had on some kind of clothe hat wrapped around his head. Their horses were a dark brown almost black with a gold chain and bells linking them to the chariot.

District 2 Tributes Konlok and Ivory dressed silver armor with animal like fur wrapped around them. Konlok had a bear head dress while Ivory had her hair tied in long pigtails with interwoven flowers and ribbon. She had on a helmet with two silver horns. Their horses were big brown horses with white socks and a white blaze on their face. There were two shield on the sides of the chariots.

Selena Kyle of District 7

Our chariot started to roll but we were still had to wait for the other Districts before us to run through. Kariros the pink hair announcer was reading off the designs made all by Ernesto and his team. I was happy he didn't make us tree this year.

District 3's chariot came out pulled by grey horses with white spots. Aiden and Selene were dressed in "steampunk" outfits. Aiden was wearing in a suit with a top hat complete with a gear. He had one some chains and little nik naks like watchest, gears and other machanical things. Ernesto even gave him a monical for his eye. Selene, who's name was very close to mine, was in a black and red dress. The lower part looked like it was made from metal bars, making her look a little like a machanical spider. She had on a bird cage veil that was black. A belt made of chains and gears hung around her weist.

Noami and Sandy were dressed in blue and silver outfits, the bottum parts fabric was like scales of a fish. A crowd of coral and shells toped Sandy's head while Noami had shells and pearls in her hair with sea star ear-rings. District4's chariot was pulled by sandy colored horses with pearls and shells in their manes. The chariot it's sell had giant shells around it so it matched the riders. The crowd cheered loudly for District four because they were Careers and most likely to win.

Chase and Latoka's chariot came out but the crowd was still cheering for District 4 so they were kind of over look at first. Both were dressed in sleek black and blue outfits with neon lights lining the seams of their outfits. The were actually glowing. "Now something out of a scene from Tron," Kariros said but I didn't know what he meant. Their horses were black with the rains glowing blue like the same color of Chase and Latoka's outfits. When the crowd finally notice them they were in awe by District 5.

Distict 6 was next, one more before us. Asper and Paola dressed in silver and gold and their outfits were very sleek like the were made of metal but I knew they were not. I saw them walking around before hand and up close they were made of fabric however from far away they looked real. Ernesto was a good designer I have to say. Their chariot was gold with black and white checker board like pattern I hear Ernesto say was like a taxi.

Finaly out chariot came into veiw. The horses just followed the chariot in front of them.

Sandy Shipwreck of District 4

Our horses came to a stop in their proper place. It seems they were trained to follow red colored lines on the ground. I wish we could have went a little longer. Riding this thing was fun and the crowd loved us! I turned to seeing the other chariots coming down the line starting with District 7.

Rowan and Selena were wearing in orange and green clothes. Selena has on a an orange dress that fades into green leaves at the buttom. She had leaves and flowers in her hair. Rowan, who looked like he wasn't confortable being on the chariot, was wearing a organe shirt with a birghter organge vast. There was a small collar or leaves around his neck and sleaves. Their paint horses had leaves and flowers in their manes.

After District 7 of course came District 8 which fashion was their thing! Xavier and Reeba dressed in "victorian style" outfits that were maroon and pearl white. Ernesto had to put a lot of make-up on Reeba's face to cover her scars and I remember Xavier through a fit when they were dressing him. He seemed to be out of it so Reeba had to hold him in place with one arm while holding herself. He had on a very nice vast that matched Reeba's big puffy dress. Their horses were chestnuts.

District 9 tributes were dressed in "old countrey fashion." Ouiona had pigtails and a red and white dress. Normally the Stylist went for somewthing grain colored or tied wheat to the Tributes but Ernesto didn't really do that. The guy who's name I forget was dress in the same colores but he had think sleeves that hung town. A floral parttern head dress was on their heads which kind of looked like wheat so I guess that is how their District's specialty was protrayed. Their horses were brown clydesdales which were common work horses in District 9.

District 10 were wearing animal fur like outfits, they weren't real animal fur though. Frankie had a bison like head-dress and had one leather vast. He had fathered around his arms with beans and bells. Their was some kind of markings on his vast and pants. Grace was wearing feathers in her hair and had on a flowing dress that was also made of leather over lapping. Their horses were organge and white with fathers in their hair.

Jake Lehouk of District 1

So we were waiting for the last few Districts to come down. District 11 was next. The guy was wearing a green and silver outfits with green leaves and fruit. He also had one a sash of fruits and nuts while the girl were in a pink dress with purple leaves at the buttom lines with silver. She had a fruit hat. Their horses swear yellow with black manes. It looned like the rodes around the horses were made of vines.

District 12's chariot came rolling down pulled by pure black horses. Telav and Slyder were in black and silver outfits and both were carrying pickaxe. Telav's outfit had a chain mess on the front while Slyder wore hers like a shirt. Both had one shoulder pads and silver and black boots. They looked though in their outfits but I bet I could take them once. Slyder began to swing her pickaxe around amost hitting her partner but he barely ducked out of the way. Hey they better not kill each other before I get a chance.

Finally the last District and it was those from 13. Both Thomas and Sloan were dressed in black armor like suits trim with neon green. Ernesto originally put gas mask on their head. Now these guys looked ever more thouther than District 13! I think the girl may be a Career but the guy well. Their horses were in armor as well and almost looked robatic! When their chariot came to a stop a couple fireworks shot into the air. It was time to hear from the President.

However she did not come out alone. Beside her stoo Kine, the Head Gamemaker. I guess he would give a little speech too. President Billy never gave long speeches. Really she was done after only speacking a few words about how it was an honnor to have such fine Tributes this year. Kind of sounded like the same speech she gave last year. I was right, after Billy, Kine took over. He said this years Games were have many new suprises and be very different from other Hunger Games. Crap what did I get myself into? There were some more fireworks to end the event and some plans that I have never seen before flew over head. Before knew it out horses charted us off back the stabble under the bulind we be living and training it.

Day 1
Chase Pansworth of District 5

"Wakie wakie Chase," Woolf whispered into my ear. "It's time to get up. It's time to get up. It's time to get up in the morning."

I really didn't want to get up. I spend most of the night playing video games that were in our room but I had to train for the Hunger Games. Woolf pulled the covers off of me. I groaned and rolled over. Wollf left me alone for a while to wake Lakota. I guess I slept for a while because when he came back it was fifteen minutes before training time. I hurried to get ready, putting on my training clothes, coming my hair and bushing my teeth. Woolf gave me an engery bar since I missed breakfast. I ate it on the way to the Training Room.

We were the last tributes there because I over slept. One of the scientist/ Gamemakers was there with Kine, the Head Scientist and Gamemaker. It was weird that Scientists were working as Gamemakers. Ernesto was there too. It seemed he had many jobs, Escort, Stylist and now a Trainer. Beside him, another person who looked fimiliar stood next to him. He had dark skin and wore a blue-black jacket with white goggles over his eyes. He also carried a sword like Ernesto. I guess he was going to train us too.

"Okay soon to be my new experiments!" Kine said, what did he mean by experiments? "Today we training so you don't die miserably in the Arena."

"I won't lose," Konlok said with a lot of confidence.

"That's nice boy. I will have everyone else train to kill you," Kines mirked back at Konlok. He just grunted. "Now the rest of you soon to be test subjects, I want to have you gusy do a litle test. To see what you are good at and have you train to advance those skills. I also want to find out what you suck horribly at, so I can point and laugh. Then have you train to at least not suck so much at those mkay?"

I didn't have a good feeling about this or Kine but I had to do the stupid tests. I wonder if this was what my brother had to do for his Hunger Game.

Smick Trinket of the Capitol

So since we were the Capitol Tributes, Oona and I were first to take the test. They had us go into another room where an obstacle course was set up. Lukcily for us, Kine didn't explain what was supposed to happen. Instead Ernesto told us we just had to go to each obstacle where some we be times for and do the task there as best as we could. Kine and a group of people wearing the same white coast were watching us off to the side. As we started doing the different tests, it became clear that some were normal, what you expect, while others were a bit odd. We had to throw things of different weights, then hit a target with different objects like knives, arrows and so on. Then we did a little comaflouge which I turned out not to be good at. They were were different containers with different scents in them. Some smelled good while others smelled like death. Wehad to identafy plants which I was better at then Oona but she proved to be faster than me. Well I was fast but she could run longer than me. Once we were done with the last few odd tests, one being we had to climb up a wall. Oona didn't complete this test but I did okay but Ernesto said it too me a little too long. I could hear the scientist including Kine giggling at me and Oona too. After that, when we were all tired, Ernesto had us put on padded vest and I could onlu guess what this was far.

"Oh my favorite part," Kine smiled from his set.

"Okay now all you two have to do it run though this obstacle course and not get hit by anything. Then fight Pantxo at the end there. Don't worry he has a padded wooden stick to serve as his sword. You can pick any weapon you like to fight him."

I wasn't sure how I was going to do that. Oona went first and although she was fast, she took a few hits with some arrows with suction cup ends and a few of the harmless darts. As long as she didn't have to run though a wave of projectiles she pribably survive fairly well. When she got to Pantxo, she picked up a small wooden knife. He easily disarmed her and she had to face him without a weapon. I would have cheered hr on but Ernesto said it might distract her. Pantxo tripped Oona with his wooden sword and kicked her out of the ring. I guess she lost. Next it was my turn to face the obstacle course. I was scared and it didn't help that the laughing of Kine and the others reminded me of my parents' disappointment.

Chloe Madison of District 1

The rest of us got to train with whatever we likes while waiting for our turn int he Testing Room. The Careers' group had take over the weapons basicly. We threw a few knives, darts and arrows at the targets for fun really while Konlok messing with the dummies. He had drew a face on one of them and called it Fred. Jake laughed and put some hair on Fred by using some of the supplies for camaflouge. Then the two Capitol Tributes came out of the Testing Room, Smick was holding his side and had a sick look in his eyes. Oona looked tired and had a bruise on her arm. This made me worry a bit but, then again they were from the Capitol and lived soft lives. Still I felt my stomach turn. I didnt' show how I felt and kept a brave face on. Ernesto saw his Tributes down to rest and gave them some kind of drink. He was their Escort. Then he called for District 1 Tributes to come. Jake and I went into the room.

Ernesto explain things to us and we did the different tests. Some were endurance test, some were for smarts and a few were physical tests. Some seems odd like they were just there to mess with us. I had to balance across a pole while balancing some books on my headwhile carrying with my arms held out heavy bags. I didn't make it across the pole, it was difficult! Jake did a little better but didn't make it across the pole either. Kine just laughed at us. He was starting to get on my nerves.

"Here you need to put this over your eyes and make your wake through this obstacle course," Enresto explained.

I knew what he meant, this was to see if we could navigate through a builting or forest or something without being able to see. Jake and I were blindfolded and sent into the maze. They were timing us so I knew I had to find my way out as fast as I could. I felt my way with my hands but walked into a dead end. I heard Jake behind me some where. I turned around but tripped over something.

"Oh wtahc where you are going," Kine said.

Well how could I with my eyes blindfolded?!

"Chloe, where are you," I heard Jake call for him sofly as if he didn't want the others to hear him.

"What?!" I yelled. I really didn't care if the others heard. I wanted out of this maze.

"Come to me voice," he said a little louder.

"Why?"

"Because if we work together we can maybe find the way out faster."

I didn't want his help but he wasn't stuck in a dead end and couldnt' find his way out. Even though I hated to admit it, I kind of needed his help to find my way back. I didn't heard him trip over anything either so he must have been doing something right. I listened as best as I could till I found him. He was on his hands and knees and was crawling around. I guess that would be better since he didn't have to worry about triping over things.

"Careful there is a hole right here." He told me.

I probably would have fell right into it if he didnt' warn me. Working together we were able to find our way out but it seemed to take us forever. Once out, I didn't want to do any more test but we had one last one and we had to fight Pantxo at the end. God really?

Slyder Crescendo District 12

So after our turn in the Testing Room which felt like ti took forever, I just wanted to get out after. Telav and I were extremely tired. District 13 was just heading in while we were recovering. We were given some kind of sweetfruity drink and our bruises were bandaged and fixed up.

"Do you think we did good?" I asked Telav.

"No," he panted. He took a hard beating from Panthxo because Telav just didn't know when to go down.

The Careers looked like they had a hard time as well but they were still hogging up the weapon area. I looked over and saw some alliances were forming. Asper was talking to Selena from 7, while his partner was by herself again. Then the girl from 9 and 10 came over to her. Maybe they wanted to form an allaince with her. I wondered if Telav and I would ally with or if I should try for someone else. I really didn't want to get attach to anyone in case they might die or I may have to kill them but I knew it would benifit me. I looked over at Xavier who weas bitching and moaning about something. Well I didn't want to risk my life with him, I would need someone less insane. The girl from 8 was sadly too weak. I didn't want to babysit anyone. The girl from 13 was not quite right. She was owning the place and was with the Careers before she was called in the Testing Room with Thomas. The Careers just accepted her into their little group.

Telav finished off the engery drink or whatever they gave up.

"You use a bow and arrow too?" he asked me.

"Yeah..."

"Want to pratice?"

"I guess so... Nothing else to do."

Luckily for us, the Gamemakers forsaw that the Careers would take over the good training area so they built a second one for the rest of us. It didn't have any many weapons but served it's purpose. I was good with a bow but I liked the crossbow because they were cool, I owned one at home. Telav and I shot off a few arrows before District 13 came out.

Thomas Adrian Parker District 13

I was so tired. I was hoping my first trip to the Capitol would be a better one. The Chariot rides were cool and all but training was horrible. We had time to rest for a few minutes while Kine's group went over the notes they took on us. Sloan did fairly well in here, better than me. Soon Kine came back out with Ernesto, Pantxo and the others. He had us gathered and sit on the ground  if we couldn't stand. Hell I sat down. I was tired.

"Okay, so most of you guys suck," Kine said. "But we can fix that... once you die..."

"Focus on them now while they are alive," Ernesto whispered into Kine's earn.

"Fine, now we have your scores on these sheets so come and get them. Now the first one is umm Smick Tricket?Trinket? Like an object you own? What?"

The Capitol boy Smick went up and got his card. I hoped he did good because I was thinking about allying with him, since he was from the Capitol. The girl got her card but Kine didn't bother to read her name. He just handed it to her. It basicly went in order like that and I was the last one to get my card. I looked it over. So my strong points were "Good at Dying" it said right at the top and was ciurcle in red. Oh okay then... Other things I was good at "Looking Pretty" and "Has a Great Fashion Scenes." Well none of these really helped me out.

"Now Train and get better. I want a good Hunger Games this year... Why do they call it the Hunger Games. What does it have to do with being hungry?" Kine went on.

"Because they compete for food," Ernesto told him.

"But the good Districts always win and they have enough food so why bother giving someone something they already have? We should call these the Death Games, or Killing People Pointlessly for our own Amusment Games. Well it isn't really a Game."

"Okay Kine, don't get too into it," Konlok commented.

"I like you." Kine smiled rubbing Konlok's hair. "I hope you die."

Konlok's expression changed to somethign nagitive as Kine mumbled with a smile and he wanted to experiment with Konlok. Okay Kine was starting to really freak me out.

Konlok Vice of District 2

Kine rubbed my hair and smiled at me real innocently. If he liked me why did he want me to die? I don't know if I trust this guy. He was starting to freak me out. All these things we had to do seemed like he was just messing with us. WellI had to deal with him because he was the Head Scientist and the Gamemaker for this year's Hunger Games. Whatever...

Kine wondered off to go see what the other Tributes were doing. I looked at my sheet. I did pretty well in the Obstacle Course, me and Ivory had it down. I got a pretty high score. I was fast and good at climbing. I made it up that Climbing Wall. Ivory didn't but she did good with the Throwing Axes and Bow and Arrows. She did pretty well against Pantxo too, even if she didn't win. I had to admit he was difficult to fight, even I couldn't defeat him. If he was a Career, he would probably win the Hunger Games.

"Konlok," Ivory said into my ear. "We should gather the other Careers now."

"Oh yeah," I turned to the guys from District 1. "Jake, Chloe come."

"Hey don't boss me around," Chloe snapped.

"Okay, please come with us."

"That's better."

Ivory went over to the two from 4, Noami and Sandy. The six of us gathered around the Weapon Area. The other Tributes did fairly well in some areas and did poorly in others, however I noticed that we had similar marks. I guess it was because we all trained the same way.We stayed at the Weapon Area talking everything out and getting to now each other, we would be surviving together in the Arena. Jake picked up a knife and threw it at a target. It hit right in the bull's eye. I had to admit this kid was good.

"So the Careers own the Arena, we can't disappoint out Districts." I said.

"I won't disappointed," Chloe stated.

"We won't. The other Tributes are young and it looks like they didn't do so well in the Obstacle Course."

"So what's the Game plan?" Sandy asked.

"I think we should take over the Cornacopria and keep the other Tributes from the supplies," Ivory said. "They will come to us if they want food and weapons.

"And those who don't," Jake added. "We will got hunt down."

"Isn't that the same old plan the Careers always do every year," I pointed out. "Shouldn't we try something else?"

"It's tradition Konlok." Ivory stated.

"Haha, you guys think you have a chance at winning?" The girl from District 13 laughed. She jumped down from the Climbing Area above us. "When was the last time the Careers won?"

"Hey who do you think you are?" Chloe spat at Sloan.

"Listen, you guys just met and now have to kill all the other tributes to win the Hunger Games. If you haven't noticed, most of you guys are a lot younger than the average Career."

"You're the youngest Tribute in this Game," Noami snapped.

"Yeah and you guys won't take me seriously." Sloan turned in an instant throwing five stiletto at one target. They hit in a ron across the target near the middle.

"So what? Anyone can do that." that was Chloe.

Sloan swepted her foot under Chloe knocking her off balance. Chloe was taken off guard. Jake charged at Sloan, I guess because she attacked his District partner. Sloan slipped under him and using his weight against him, she psuhed him off his feet and sent him flying.

"Oh I say she's in," I said. "Well she impressed me. A 12 year old taking down both Tributes from District 1."

"What? she's just a kid!" Noami yelled with fury.

"Come at me bro!" Sloan challanged Noami and she took the bat.

Noami went for Sloan with her sword drawn. Sloan pulled out two stiletto and caught the sword in-between them. She twisted her hand which caused the sword to flip out of Noami's hand.

"Okay, I am with Konlok," Ivory backed me up. " She is in!"

"Kay, anyone who can take me down, I rather have as an ally," Jake said.

Chloe just smile but I could tell she was a little irratated that she got defeaded by a 12 year old. Sandy just nodded in agreement. Noami looked pissed off but she agreed to allow Sloan to just us. I had to abmit, Jake was right, better to have Sloan with us than against us. She was also right about us being a lot younger than most Careers in the past.

Day 2
Selene Davae of District 3

The first day of Training was terrible for me. I wasn't feeling well before hand but after the obstacle course I had sharp pains in my stomach. I was forced to turn in early yesterday leaving Aiden to coninute training. I didn't care if Kine and his scienists though I was weak. I was in a lot of pain. My Escort Moliere had given me some medicine in a drink that knocked me out. I slept most of the day and only woke when Aiden returned from Training to eat dinner. I felt a lot better but when I woke today, I still wasn't feeling so well. I didn't want to go training but I knew I needed to or my chances at survival would decrease.

"Aiden, are you afriad to die?" I asked him while we were in the Training Area.

"Hell yeah," Aiden responded. "But there's nothing we can do about it."

That didn't make me feel better. We were in the camaflouge area because we didn't need to stand here. I was trying to show Aiden how to camaflouge himself but he wasn't understanding. All he wanted to do was take this metal glove like object made of metal and glass apart to see how it worked. He picked it up from Snottbubble the other day. It kind of looked like a metal glove.

"What do you think it is for?"

"Not sure but it must do something." Aiden examined the glove machine and touched the glass part on top. It light up slow with some symbols. "Oh it turned on."

"What does it do?"

Aiden just shrugged. He tapped on to one of the symbols. The screen changed to another one and music started to play from the guantlet. It surpised us but luckily it wasn't very loud. There had been quiet music in the background all day. I guess Kine thought it would help us train or something.

"What do you have there?" I heard someone from behind ask. It was Chase from 5.

"Don't know," was all Aiden said.

Chase sat down with Aiden and they just sat quietly examining the object. Chase thought it was used to comunication or was a source to the internet. He turned out to be right because Aiden tapped another one of the symblos on the sceen and it took them to the internet. We weren't allowed to access the internet in District 3 unless we had permission but really only the supervisors had that ability. Onces a guy in my class hacked into the computers at school but he got caught and taken away. I never saw him again.

"Here this symbol is a phone," Chase pointed. "It is some kind of comunication device."

Aiden tapped on the screen again and it changed to another one with a list of contacts. I started to think messing with this thing was a bad idea. Only the scientists had these and if we call one of them, well we might get in trouble. Before I could caution Aiden it tapped on one of the cantracts.A connection was made.

"What are you doing?" I tugged on Aiden's arm. "We could get caught."

"Crap! How do you turn it off. Cancel! Cancel!" Aiden tried to turn the machine off but didn't know how.

"Here try this..."

Chase cut off and we all frozen when we heard an "Hello?"

Thomas Adrian Parker of District 13

I was going to do it. I was going to ally with the guy from the Capitol, then we can talk about how great the Capitol is. No one would really understand but him right? Smick had gone over to the little group by the Camaflouge Area. I was about to go over there when the girl from 8 stopped me. She clung to my sleeve and hide behind me.

"Protect me from him," she whispered.

"From who?"

"Xavier, he is looking for me. He wants to use me for targat pratice."

Xavier? Did she mean her District partner? That stuck me odd that he would try and hurt his own District partner. Normally people from the same District avoided killing each other as it was viewed wrong by the veiwers. Even the Capitol didn't like it when people from the same District killed each other in the Hunger Games. It was like one of those things you didn't do in the Arena but it didn't mean you would die if you did kill your partner, it happen sometimes by accident. Well I couldn't just leave her though I wanted to join Smick. He had gone off and joined the small group made up of both Tributes from District 3 and the guy from 5.

"Why don't you stand up to him?" I told her but her eyes grew huge with fright.

"No, he'll kill me. He said he would. Ally with me? His family are allies to the Capitol, but he is from 13. It's not right."

"What?" I was from District 13 and I was an ally with the Capitol because they were so amazing. "Well maybe you deserve to die!"

"But I didn't do anything wrong."

"Well the Capitol wants you dead or you wouldn't be here in the Hunger Games. Get away from me you little scamp!"

I pushed Reeba away from me. I didn't want anything to do with her if she was just going to dis the Capitol like that, and my own District. When District 13 rejoined the Capitol and the other Districts, it was like the best thing ever. I was going to ally with the boy from the Capitol, I didn't need some low life from District 8 hanging around me. I stormed off as I heard Reeba run off.

"There you are," I heard Xavier said from somewhere behind me. "Get over here and put this apple on your head so I can hit it!"

Xavier Thread of District 8

Once Thomas left Reeba, I followed her to the Climbing Area and watched her climb up the rope net. I took the ends of the net in my hands and shook it.

"Come on Reebree, come play with me."

"Leave me alone," Reeda hissed at me. "I don't want to play with you!"

"Come on. I just want to play with my District partner..."

Reeda just stared at me with her frighten eyes not believing me. I shook the rope net a little harder untill Reeb lost her footing. I climbed up the rope a bit and reach up. Once I grabbed Reeba foot, she tried to kick me but she was too weak. I pulled her down without much affort. I drug her by the foot over to the Throwing Ares, she went kicking and scream the whole way there. I took her by the collar and stood her up in front of one of the targets.

"Stay here and keep this apple on your head," I commanded her in the nicest voice I would muster. "I am going to throw a knife at it and hit it. It'll be fun."

Reeba just whimpered but stayed where I left her. I walked over to the display table that had all kinds of things to throw, knives, needles, axes, everything you could think of even a spoon. I picked up a knife and looked at my reflection in it's shiny surface. This one will do.

"These are my friends, see how they glisten. See this one shine. How he smiles in the light, my friends. My faithful friends..." I heard Kine sing somewhere behind me. "At last my arm is complete again!"

I turned back over to throw the knife at Reeba, I mean, the apple on her head. Throw the knife at the apple on her head. Yes, yes, that was what I meant. She was standing frozen. I flipped the knife in my figures before I got read to throw it. Reeba flinched and shield her face with her arms.

"Don't move, or I might accidently hit you."

"Don't throw it at me..."

"I won't hit you, I promise." I smiled at her but I don't think it helped much to re-ensure her.

I forced Reeba to stand striaght and ballance the apple on her head. Then I went back behind the line and aimed. I told her not to move or I would hit her. She straighten up and held still. I smirked and threw the knife. It flipped several times in the air before hitting the side of the target inches from Reeba's head.

"Awe I missed," I smiled but did that on purpose.

"You did that on purpose..." Reeba whined.

"Hold still, I will try again."

I picked up another knife and aimed for the apple. Reeba held still, her eyes wide open on me. I got ready to throw the knife, Reeba stiffened up. Then just before I threw the knife I aimed and let it go from my fingers to the side of Reeba. She flinched and ducked for cover.

"Miss again, man I must be off my Game today. Hold on Ree..."

"No, no more!" Reeba begged.

"Again! Agian" Kine clapped excitedly above me. "Throw another!"

"Yeah and this time it the target!" Another scientist named Dylan added in.

I smiled and picked up another knife. Reeda instantly straighten back up, putting the apple on her head. She tried her best to hold still. I tossed the knife in my hands a few times before I got ready to throw it. This time I bluff and Reeba flinched again. I change directions in a split second and aimed at Reeba. I threw the knife and it flew, slamming into the targert behind Reeba, slicing through the side of her arm. She scream.

"You hit me!" Reeba whined in her little voice. "You promised you wouldn't hit me!"

"Ops sorry," I couldn't helped bup laugh. "One more time.

"No! Leave me alone! Don't hurt me!"

Reeba went to run but I threw another knife into her path. It hit the wall just inches in front of her, stopping her in her tracks. Reeba stood there for a few seconds before looking at me terrified. I motioned with my hand for her to get back in her spot and she obeyed. I picked up another knife. Reeba mouthed to me "Please don't hit me." I just grinned at her and she stood still like a statue. When I aimed she closed her eyes. This time I threw the knife and hit the apple right off her head, cutting it in half. Kine and Dylan started clapping and for some reason I really joyed to be pleasing them. I turned around and gave them a bow.

"I like this one!" Kine said to Dylan.

I felt a flush of pride rush from my stomach throughout my body. I had please Kine, and I had to keep pleasing him. He was in charge of the Hunger Games, so if I made him happy, he would love me and keep me alive. While I was turned around Reeba crawled off somethere. Now where did that little brat go?

Naomi Eribach of District 4

I spend the past five minutes watching Xavier torment his District partner Reeba. The other Careers just laughed at the whole sceen. Hell I stay away from Xavier during the Games. Lucky for me I have the other Careers to watch my back. I sat in the back of the Careers, kind of in the middle and kept looking around. There were no Peacekeepers, I hadn't see many since we arrived here. Instead there were these people in black who stood in the same place in the Trainign Room. Everyeone just ignored them, except Konlok and Jake had to tried to mess with them the first day we got here. Eventually they got bored when the guards didn't do anything. They only moved when Kine or one of the other scientist commanded them to do so. They were kind of like living statues. They still made me unconfortable.

"Hey what you think of the little 8 girl?" Konlok asked everyone.

"I say she is an easy target," Ivory stated the obvious.

"Yeah but it seems like her District partner wants to kill her," Jake pointed out. "Or at least mess with her till she kills herself."

"I think we should leave her alone for now," Sloan said in a firm voice. "Leave her to Xavier. Don't want to ruin his fun. He could be a big threat to us. He hasn't tried to join us."

"But he hasn't shown any sign that he wants to kill us," Sandy muttered.

"Yes, but these are the Hunger Games. He will have to kill us if he wants to win. So if he is not with us, he is against us."

"I have to agree with Sloan here," I spoke up. "Anyone who isn't in our allince is an enemy."

"True," Konlok said.

Everyone one of us knew our alliances wasn't stable, it was in a way won't be for long. We wouldn't kill each other till all the other tributes were dead in the Arean. Then we would turn on each other to win. There could only be one winner. However as long as there were other tributes to kill, we were an alliance. I am sure a few of us would get picked off by other Tributes as well.

"Xavier is a threat." Sloan went on. "However as long as Reeba still breathes, he will hunt her down and ignore us hopefully. So we should let her live, for now. She will be our escape goat."

"Then we should kill him," Ivory said. "All of us attacking me, we can take him."

"If we can find him in the Arena that is."

"If we keep Reeba alive," I said. "He'll hunt her down and kill the others, doing our job for us."

"I'm not lazy," Konlok protested.

"I want to kill some of the other tributes too," Chloe added. "As many as I can."

The other Careers didn't agree with me and dismissed the idea. Well I thought it was a good plan. Maybe I could get Xavier to work for me without him knowning it. If I kept Reeba alive, he would go after her instead of me. Xavier may kill some of the other tributes too, including the other Careers, if they were to try to kill Reeba. Then I would have less competition at the end of the Games, no more Careers, no one to turn on me. Still this was risky because I would be taking out my allies who could kill Xavier for me. Still in the Hunger Games, there was no real alliance. Everyone was an emeny.

Selena Kyle of District 7

I was with Apser from 6 planing our form of attack. We were sitting up on top of the Climbing Area. Both of us were really good at climbing, which surpised me since Apser was from District 6. He had approached me the day we got to the Capitol before we were sent to Ernesto to get ready for the Chariot Rides. He told me he watched our Reaping and thought I would make a good ally. I had to abmit it was a little weird knowing he had watched meon TV. I know lots of people show me on TV but it was all together different to meet someone who saw you.

"We are both great climbers so we should find some trees," Asper told me. "We can stay up high, see everything that goes on. We can throw weapons at anyone who come near us."

"Sounds good but do you know how to use a bow and arrow?"

"No but we can learn. All we need to do is scare the others off."

"Do you want to maybe find someone who can use a bow and arrow and have them join us?"

"No, we can't trust anyone else. When ever there are more than two people in an Allaince, there is the possiblity of two tunring on the other. Better it is just us two."

"Kay, kay, we can throw knives too. I can use a whip but those aren't very good in trees. Maybe I can swing from branch to branch."

"That's fine. Once we scare everyone off. They will be too scared to come near us. We'll just wait out the Game there."

"Okay, I can steal from the Careers. I am really good at stealing and staying hiden. I'll steal food and supplies."

It seemed our plan was going well. Asper seemed good at stragety and I could steal supplies. We could avoid the Careers since they weren't good at climbing trees, not being from a District that was used to climbing. I felt better having an ally going into the Games with me, since Rowan wasn't intersted in allying with me. He was probably our biggest threat since he was from my District. He probably was good at climbing too. Just a month before the Games, I saw him excecute man from my District for stealing from the Peacekeepers. Everyone in District 7 hated him. A week before the Hunger Games, he was sent out to capture some kids who ran away to avoid the Reaping. He caught them all and killed two who wouldn't come back with him. When you did something wrong, it was Rowan who came to punish you.

Lakota Feah of District 5

So it was pretty obvious that most of the females were allying with each other. I don't know why but it just happen. Each of us had something different to offer to the Alliance. I could swim, climb and do camaflouge and I was good with a knife and survival. Ooan was quiet but she was intimating so we were happy to have her with us. Paola was good with hand-to-hand combat however she was kind of quiet too like Oona. We convinced her to teach us how to fight. Quinoa was good with long weapons like staffs and the scythe that was sitting on the weapon rack. She grabbed that thing before the Careers could take it. She showed off her skill by attacking the targets and cutting the heads of the bummies. Lastly there was Grace from 10. It was good to have her with us because she knew a lot about animals and how they thought.

Our little group was busy showing each other what we could do. Then after we started to teach each other what the others didn't know. Oona and Paola picked up things pretty fast. Quinoa and Grace used their scythe and sword to show each other new tricks.

"Now remember my scythe is longer so I have a wider range of attack.," Quinoa told Grace. "You need to consider this during a fight."

"Yes but my sword swings faster so I can dodge and weave."

"I can also kick you so be careful."

"Okay so while they pratice, let's work on camaflouge," I told Oona and Paola. "Staying hiden could help us avoid the Careers."

I started to show them how to camaflouge themselves. Oona did a little better than Paola. She was pretty good when a weapon in her hands rather than with a brush. Quinoa and Grace were done sparring with each other so they offered to teach us how to use a weapon. I was good with small weapons like knives and daggers, we used those a lot living in the mountains. Paola grabbed a club and started swinging it around.

"Just getting the feel of it," she mumbered.

Oona was also good with a knife but she wanted to learnhow to use another weapon, so Grace started to teach her about swords. I cut up one of the targets with my two knives. I saw Kine with Xavier who had been tormenting Reeba earlier. She had disappared after that and I hadn't seen her since. I was close enough to over heard Kine mention to Xavier that he should be very careful in the Arena, because beisde us there would be other tributes. What? What did he mean by other tributes? Who else would be going into the Arena besides us?

"Kine, there is needs to be an excecution," One of the scientist told Kine. "The broughtsome guy to the Capitol and want him excecuted."

Kine smiled and called over Rowan.

"I have a job for you," Kine wrapped his arm around Rowan. "How about one last excecution before you go into the Arena?"

After Kine left with Rowan, I decided I wanted to talk a little more to my Mentor Amalfi Crescent. She had told me to focus on survival and befriending others with different skills who could help me with survival. I also lived in the mountains, so I knew a lot about surviving. She also told be to put others before me and I was in a big alliance so I think I was following her advice pretty well. Still I had come concerns about others tributes stronger than me.

Conner Machado of District 11

I didn't like the way Xavier as treating Reeba, but I was too scared to help. Xavier was kind of scary. I wished some of the other Tributes, the stronger onces, would have done something but everyone just stood there and watched. I stood there and watched as well. Kine and the other scientist just thought it was all amusing and now Kine was praising Xavier. The Careers wouldn't help someone like Reeba. I was one of the oldest Tributes here, I should be looking after the younger Tributes. Too bad I wasn't good with talking to girls. I suppose I should join an Alliance. Maybe that guy from 10, he seems nice and wasn't a female. Didn't seem odd for our Districts to ally. Or maybe I'll ally with the two from District 12, don't know but I needed to do it fast because we only had the rest of today to train and tomarrow then...

I was really missing my father.

I finally spotted Reeba. Now that Xavier was distracted by Kine, she was moving from one hiding spot to another. I only spotted her because she moved and I so happen to be looking in that direction. I would ally with her but I was scared of Xavier. If I allied with her, he probably kill me. I wanted to live.

I looked around. I was sitting under some kind of wooden platform with a big old axe. These things were a lot heavier than the ones I was used to. This was something meant for killing. I wasn't meant for killing. I looked up and saw Pantxo, who beat me pretty badly during the Testing, standing on the platform where the Scientists usually stood. When Kine left with Rowan, the other scientists wondered off. Pantxo, who I wasn't sure was a scientist or not, was the only one left. He was just standing there with his sword in his hands, using it as a cane. I wished I had his skill then I wouldn't lose the Hunger Games, but I didn't want to kill. I didn't want to kill anyone. Maybe I should ally with someone who can kill.

Then some more movement caught my eye. It was the guy from District 9. He had been pretty quiet and unnoticable the whole time we have been here. He walked passed me and in a flash he flicked out a pocket knife and slit my arm as he walked by.

"Hey why did you do that?"

"I wanted blood..." That was the first thing that guy had said this whole time we had been here.

"Xavier made Reeba bleed eariler," I told me and instantly felt bad about it.

I put my hand on my arm to stop the bleeding. It seemed Craig didn't get me too badly but it still hurt. Craig turned and then sat next to me. I was scared because I didn't know what to think or what to do. I wanted to ask what he wanted but at the same time I wanted to run. Craig flick his knife out and looked at my blood.

"Do you have any more?" he asked me.

I just shook my head. I didn't want him to cut me again. Craig then turned really fast and slid his knife on cheek. I jerked back but was too late. I felt my warm wet blood dip down my face. He smiled.

"You know, you're not supposed to kill people till we get into the Arena," I heard my voice crack.

"Doesn't mean I can't make people bleed before then. I won't kill you till we get in the Arena."

"Okay, I'm going to go now..."

"No, you are going to stay here and bleed for me till I get bored with you." Craig ordered me.

"Okay..." was all I could say.

I looked over and saw where Reeba was hiding this time. This must have been how she felt when Xavier was tormenting her. I was scared but I didn't want to me like Ree! Ah! Craig cut me again on my other arm. Anyways, I didn't want to sit and suffer so I stood up and moved away from Craig.

"Stop it!" I was scared but I had to make him stop. "You shouldn't hurt anyone till we get into the Arena."

"Then you'll be my first kill," Craig said coldly.

"No, no, wait. You'll need someone to help you right? You look like you're pretty well fed right?"

"I'm from the rich side of District 9."

"Then you don't know how to survive right? But I can help you." I didn't want to but I wanted to live.

"Fine then. I'll kill you later. You'll find me tributes to kill and I won't kill you till you're usefulness wears out."

I felt like I had made a deal with the Devil but I was too scared to really stand up to Craig. He couldn't kill me now but he could wait till the Hunger Games begin and take me out during the Bloodbath. Maybe Craig would die early or maybe if it came down to it I could kill him. I really didn't want to. I held the axe close to me. I knew I had to run, run from Craig as soon as I got into the Arena. Lose him and stay away from him, or I would have to find people for him to kill or he will kill me!

Pantxo Nequoia of District 11

I could hear a lot going on. Through my goggles I could see blurry shapes and some bright colors, these were usually all my eyes could make out. Kine had taken the kid from District 7 away. I coudl recognize his voice. I heard the boy from 8 looking for his District partner but she had disappared some time ago. It seemed everyone was talking and making Alliances below me. The Careers were at the Weapon Area as expected and a large group of Females had formed an Alliance as well. I heard another group made up of four boys and one girl were messing with a guantlet that had found and it seemed they called someone by accident. Then I heard Ernesto walk up to me.

"So what do you think? He asked me.

"We have a good bach of kids this year..."

"Where did Kine go?"

"In the other room with the boy from 7."

"You mean Rowan. That kid was the excecutioner from his District." Ernesto told me.

Then I heard Dylan come up from behind us. I recognised his footsteps. He walked with a slit limp from an injury but wasn't too noticable.

"Ernesto, Kine wants you to take Rowan into the Capitol for an excecution," Dylan said. "See if you can bring back the body. I want to take it apart."

"Does he want me to do this now?" Ernesto asked.

"No the excectution is tomarrow. I would go but I need to prepare Kine's little zombies for the Game."

"Kay, but I need to get back. I have to pick out the Interview outfits for the Tribies."

"Dylan, were did the girl from 8 go? I haven't heard her in a while." I asked.

"I don't know maybe Xavier killed her." Dylan respondedin a slight irritated voice.

"No I heard her get away."

"Pantxo, why don't you let me fix your eyes. Then you can see things instead of hear things. Come on, I can give you amazing eyes like that of an eagle."

"No..."

"Oh crap do you want mechanical eyes? Did George offer some?"

"No... If I could see then I would be blind like the rest of you."

I heard Dylan grunt. He moved away to the edge of the platform to watch the Tributes train. I turned my head in teh direction of the boy from 9 and 11 who were talking. Ernesto asked me what I was listening too. They were too far away from me to hear but by the tone of the Boy from 11's voice, it didn't sound good. Then I heard Kine come back into the room and sent Rowan off to do more training. Kine came over to us, shuffling papers in his hands.

"What do you got there Kine?"

"The schedual." Kine said flipping through the papers. "Tommarow Ernesto you need to take Rowan ino the Capitol to do an excecution. Tommarow is the last day of Training. Seems weird to only give the Tributes three days to train. Then next day is the Private Sessions, then following that are the Interviews. Hey wait..." Kine paused for a second. "I don't want to do the Interviews started with the Capitol kids."

"And why not?" asked Ernesto.

"I looked at the ratings for the Interveiws from past Hunger Games. It seems more people watch the begining rather the whole thing. I think the Capitol and Sponsors only watch the Careerers Interviews and stop when they other Districts start. The Careerers get more sponsors than other Districts Tributes. I want to give everyone a fair chance. We'll start the Interviews with District 13 and go backwards."

Ernesto agreed. It made sense when Kine said it. He could do whatever he wanted anyways. Kine spoke with the other scientist when they came and went to watch the Tributes. Lisa and Young had spent most of the day preparing the Revived Tributes for the Game. George was putting the last finishing touches on the Arena with Snotbubble. After a while, Kine sent all the tributes off to their rooms for the night when Training was over.

"I think I want to give the Tributes one last Dinner Party because we send them into the Arena," Kine said.

Day 3
Gerald Durrell of District 13

Now that I was Reaped again, I was roomed to another area and didn't see Lucas anymore. We each got our own cage to sleep in. The back end had another metal door that opened and closed to let us in and out into the Training Area. Kine wanted us to pratice with our new powers as much as possible and be prepared for Hunger Games. The cages weren't very big, just enough or me to walk in a circle. I pased back and foward waiting for the door to open. They only used the front door, which was barred to feed me or take me intot he medical room which I hated. I was tired of the shoots and the gas mask they put on me. Finally I heard to metal door slide open and I dashed out.

"Emerald!" I yelled.

"Hey Gerald!"

I met up with Emerald on one of the platforms. Out Training Area was made of metal platforms, walkways and had some fake grass at the buttom. There were small buildings and houses on the platforms with wires and tubes. We enjoyed climbing on them. Emerald coated his hands in crystals and started climbing up the side of the walls. I ran up one of the metal sheets that connected the platforms. I jumped over Palmine who was sitting in my way. Oreale was flighting around with Bluestar. Ivi was alwayd at the top where the control center was. Her powers al lot her to connect to anything mechanical. Kine put from wires in her veins some how. When I arrived at the top I found that Alex was already up there with Emerald. Robin was also up at the top. Kine gave him the power to control sand. Emerald roled over on his back and and Alex started to restle with him. I sat down and started chewing on my foot. It was itchy. After I was revived, Kine did something to me so I had animal feet now, and hands and a tail... and little pointed ears! I roled on to my back and started wiggling around because now my back started itch too. John, from District 8, walked up to me. He was more mutated than me after Kine got done with him. He hardly ever walked on tow legs now. He sniffed me before crawling off. I think he was looking for the treats the White Coats hide in here for us to find. John had a good scence of smell by using his tongue.

Then the big metal door the White Coats and Keepers used to come in and out opened. Two keepers with catch poles and a White Coat named Young walked in. This could only mean one thing. They were going to catch someone and take them to the medical area. The two Keepers each went one way circling around. Hanna, Ayaan and Jay ran off hissing and growling. The Keepers ignored them. The first Keeper went for Jackie. She tried to run but she ran intot he second Keeper. He hooked her by the neck with the catch pole and started to drag her out.She went kicking and screaming. The other Keeper went up one of the platform and went for Fabio. He climbed up one of the poles holding the platform up and hissed.

"Come Fabie," the Keeper said. "You'll get a treat after."

The Keeper managed to hook Fabio's foot and pulled him down. He grabbed Fabio's collar, released the catch pole and rehook Fabio around the neck. He drug Fabio out of the room and the door closed. Everyone stayed on guard for a few minutes but once it became clear the door wasn't going to open again for a while, we went back to what we were doing. I turned back to Emerald and Alex.

Oona Jaina Cree of the Capitol

It was the last day of Training. My Escort Ernesto woke us up. Smick was slow to rise and so was I. It was getting boring traing all day but I knew I needed it if I wasn't to survive a few days in the Arena. Ernesto has been trainging verious tributes each day but he left for some reason. Smick went off with his alliance and I joined my own. I was happy to have some friends, figures before we all die I make more than one friend. It sadden me whenever I thought about how I wouldn't see them after the Hunger Games and that I may see some fo them die. I wished we could have had more time and that Josef could have seen me.

"So what do you guys think you will do for the Private Sessions?" Lakota asked. "I'm real nervous about them."

"I was thinking of showing off my skill with a sword," Grace said. "It's all I really know."

"I'll use my scythe," Quinoa started. "I think I will try some other weapons too so show I can do more than one thing. Then the pool that's in here, I may swin through it if they will allow me."

"Paola, what will you do?" Grace asked our quiet friend.

"I don't know..."

"You're good with hand-to-hand combat, try doing that and you are strong so throw something heavy." Grace suggested. "Oona, What about you?"

"Well I am good at running and hiding... I guess I will do that." I said then I thought a little more. "I guess I'll show off my knife skills too."

"The Capitol will go first so you better train," Grace added. "Want to learn another weapon too?"

"I guess so. Maybe a bow?"

I only knew how to swing a knife, but a bigger weapon should be the same just bigger and heavier. I tried the mace and it wasn't that much different from a knife. I wasn't used to it but it was just swinging how hard can that be. None of us in our allaince knew how to use long ranged weapons. I picked up a bow and an arrow. The string gave a long of tention but I was strong enough to pull it back. I aimed and lew the arrow fly. It toally missed the target but was almost close enough to hit it.

"That was good," Grace cheered from behind me.

I tried again to see if I was any better. I aimed again and let the arrow go. This time it hit the side of the target. Well If I hit it the second time maybe I wans't all that bad. I tried again to see if that that was a fluke. However I hit it a little closer to the center. It would be a deadly wound, maybe not kill but it would do some damage. I decided to keep praticing with the bow. I could hear the Careers giggling at me but I was doing okay so why stop. I bet they wanted me to stop in fear I would become good and be a treat. I'll show them.

Frankie Moorland of District 10

I snuck out of the Training room to see the horses in the stable under the bulding. Blossom was eating some oats and Frost was pocking his head over when he saw me. I rubbed his nose. Horses have suck a soft nose. Ally nudged me in the back because she wanted attention. I really missed these guys. I was sad that I wouldn't be able to see my friends anymore after tomarrow. A white horse that lived showed up in District 10 one day had also been brought along. He had a saddle on his back with the name Whitson carved ont he side, so we started calling him that. He responded to it so I think that was his actual name. He was with a female back horse named Renegrade, she had a saddle as well. She was here too and had pulled District 12's chariot with Shadowmare. The big black horse named Shadowmare was the excecutionerand assisan's horse in our District but he wasn't used all the time so I guess Shadowmare was brought along. The horse made me feel a little unconfortable. Derpy was facing the wrong way in the stall. Something was not quiet right with this horse but I loved her anyways. I had saved some carrots from dinner last night and threw them to her.

"It's not that far from here so want to take one of the horses?" I hear a voice which belongs to Ernesto.

I could hear footsteps coming this way so I took off and hide behind some hay. I could see through a small hole in-between the hay. Ernesto came into the stable with Rowan. I didn't want to get caught because Ernesto had told me yesterday to pratice with other weapons beside pitchforks. I didn't want to get in trouble because I wasn't supposed to be down here anyways. Ernesto opened the door to Shadowmare's stall and led the horseout with Rowan. I had found out from Grace that she heard from Paola who heard from Asper when Sleena told him that Rowan was an assisan or excecution or or spy or something from his District. Shadowmare's ears purched up when Rowan appoached him. He was an assasin's horse. Once the left I felt like I should get back to the Training Room even though I didn't want to leave my horse friends. I said good bye to each of them and as I started to leave, I spotted a horse shoe on the ground. I picked it up and decided to take it with me. I started to head back to the Training Room but when I passed a room with the door slightly open, something caught my eye. My curiosity got he better of me and I peered through the crack in the door. The room was white and let into another room. There was some kind of circular room in the middle of this room with a metal walk way around all the way around the room. I didn't see anyone in the room so I went in. I could hear some kind of music coming from the circular room that just drew me in. I looked through the glass and same someone sitting in the middle of the room tapping his figures on what looking like giant piano but it as see though and flashed with many lights. He was dressed in all black, his hair was jet black as well. He had a streak of green on the right side of his head. He was facingaway from me so I couldn't see his face. I just stood there and listened. The music had me locked in place and the lights kept my eyes in place. It was weird but couldn't do anything about it, nor did I want too.

I must have been standing there a while when Snotbubble came over to me. He just stood there for a while before he pocked me with his nail. I turned my head to look at him but when I did he licked my face real slowly with his slobbery tongue before he walked away. I whiped my face with my shirt. His spit glowed green. God I hope I haven't been infected with ssome kind of disease. Snotbubble was called Snotbubble for a reason. However his spit had snapped me out of the trance I was in. Snotbubble's metalling caused me to look up. He was messing with the door that led into the circular room and I bet he wasn't supposed to be doing that. The door opened and he went in. I watched me go over to the guy in the room and he sat down next to him.

"Want to share a cupcake?" Snotbubble asked the guy and held up a pick cupcake.

Reeba Alyce Graver of District 8

No I couldn't take the torment anymore. I was tired of Xavier treatment. I couldn't let me use me for target pratice again. I had to get away. I couldn't let him find me. I ran away from him as fast as I could. Xavier threw something at my feet which tripped me. I got up as fast as possible and ran. I had to hide fro him. I crawled under the Martial Arts Training Area. It was raised up a bit to provide a bounce when people were practicing hand-to-hand combat. I was small enough and thin enough to go under it. Xavier couldn't follow me but he started jumping up and down on the platform.

"Come out, Reebree," he beckoned me. "Come play with me."

I crawled to the other side and exited without him noticing. I hid behind the Weapons Rank. I needed a better hiding spot. The Careers were not my friends. I knew if they saw me they would point me out to Xavier. Rowan wasn't here either. I felt like he would do the same. I looked around. The female alliance were busy training and talking and the other alliance were busy doing something smart. Asper and Selena were back upon the Climbing Area. The others were doing their own thing, Craig was with Conner again cutting him over and over again. I guess I wans't the only one being tormented.

"Hey Reebree, you still under there?" Xavier had now realized I wasn't hiding under the platform anymore.

I needed to escape from him. I looked for a better hiding spot but all the other tributes were ever where and I wasn't sure if they would not tell Xavier where I was if they saw me. I saw that the door out of the room was open slightly. Xavier wouldn't be able to find me if I left the room so I too the opporunity and went for the door slowly. I dashed from one hiding spot to another till I was out the door. We weren't supposed to leave the room but I had to for my own safety. Now I needed to hide somewhere so no one found me. I ran down the hall. I was going to hide in my room but I heard some people down the hall so I went the other way. I went down a flight of stairs till I was on the bottum floor. I kept going and surpsienly didn't run into any one. I hide whenever I heard anyon and waited for them to past by before I kept going. Then I heard something. I saw a door was open and went inside.

When I went inside I stop dead in my tracks. Frankie was in the room too. He turned his head and glanced at me before turning back. I walked over to him because I was curious. There was some kind of strange room inside this room. Inside was that one guy who kept bothering the scientists and Ernesto. He had green hair and drooled green glowing spit. He was sitting next to a guy with dressed black. Wait I think I haven't seen him before.

"What is this place?" I asked Frankie but I didn't expect him to know.

"I don't know," he replied looking around.

I looked around too. This room was square but it had a circular room at the center that dipple a little into the group. There were lots of wires connecting everything. The walls on the outside had computers and high-tech stuff I didn't know what they were for. Then a thump on the grass in front of me startled me. The other guy with Snotbubble had come up to the grass and was looking at me and Frankie. He grinned at us with smile that looked too big for his face. Green drool drippled out of his mouth just like Snotbubble. I didn't know what to do but hold still like as if I were with Xavier. Frankie didn't move either but he didn't seem as scared as I was. He was a lot stronger than me.

"You for the Hungy Games" The guy finally asked and we just nodded. "Kay, kay... You two allies?"

We shook our heads. He guy us an odd look like he was surpised and confused. Snotbubble existed the cicrular room and then I realized that the door was open. This black and green guy could come out if he wanted.

Craig Albert Corios of District 9

I was with my minion Conner and he was bleeding for me beautifully. I could tell he didn't like it but that's well I like it so much. Conner's armed were bloody and he kept bandaging them up. I was pretty happy about thsi pocket knife I was given by Kine. He seemed irriated that I didn't have a token to take into the Arena with me, so he gave me a pocket knife. He said there was no rule against allowing a tribute to tak a weapon into the Arena, as long as it wasn't a gun or anything big, unless it was a weapon that belonged to a Victor relitive. This knife was small and I doutb I could really kill anyone with this thing quicky but why would I want too?

"Can you let me heal a little?" Conner asked me quietly.

"Will you beed better if I do?"

"Yeah, you don't want me to bleed to death and not help you in th Arena now do you?"

"Hmm... fine... I'm bored now..."

Conner looked around for something to entertainment me. He didn't want to go near anything sharp or I would cut him and he was right. He looked over at the camaflouge area and decided to go there. He said we could sneak up on people if we knew a little bit about how to stay hiden. He was right but that was no fun. I like th thrill of the chase but Conner wasn't as strong as me.

"You know how to fight so let's learn how to hide." Conner went on. "We need to hide from the Careers. They are the biggest threat and be hard to kill. So we'll pick them off one by one."

"Do you think I'm weak?"

"No, but if I am to find you tributes to kill, I need you to hide me." Conner handed me a tin-box of paints. "If they see me, they may all attack us."

"So?"

"I am not as skilled as you are and seven Careers attacking you, you probably die. So I need to say hiden and I'll keep an eye on them and let you know when would be a good time to attack."

I agreed relucantly but he was kind of right. I knew my limits even if I didn't wan to admit to them. Plus the Careers would kill all my lovely bleeders and I didn't want them to have all the fun. I needed to get rid of them first so I can take my time with the others.

Skye Silverguard of District 11

My District partner was with his ally from 9. I was surpised he made an allainced and his ally looked strong. I needed an ally but I had little to offer and it seemed no one wanted me. Maybe it was because of my scars or something. I was good at running and climbing but it seemed a lot of people were good at those things so they didn't need me. I needed to be different so I could offer something to an alliance. I had been trying my hand at a little bit of everything. I discovered again that I could not use large weapons. I could climb but the Asper and Selena had taken that over and spend most of their time talking to each other. I was good at tracking and identifying plants.

I looked over at the large allince made of girls. I dodn't think I wanted to ally with them. Too many people and the girls at my District were the worsed, they picked on me and teased me about my scars at school. I think if I was with a bunch of girls, pretty girl, they just make fun of me. The Careers basicly turned into the bullies and then had laughed and pointed at me already so I wouldn't eventhink about allying with them. I looked over at the other large alliance with one girl in it and the rest were boys. I didn't feel comfortable with a lot of boys, espeically if they were strong boys. It seemed all the girls were joining big alliances. I wished I was more comfortable with people. My District partner didn't seemed to comfortable around me.

Then Kine came into the room with a lot of papers in his hands. He was looked through them and went to the platform where the other scientists usually sat to watched us train. He sat down in his chair. Kine was the Head Scientist and the Gamemaker I think. For a guy who didn't look very strong I was kind of afraid of him. All the scientist were scary, even though they weren't really scary. I crawled under the platform where the scientist sat and listened to their conversations. I had been doing every day.

"What do you got there?" a scientist named Lisa asked. I've learned all their names.

"The Tribies profiles," Kine replied. "What's up with all these depressing background stories? I mean every singal one of them has something sad that has happen to them. Abuse, drugs, deaths, torment, even murder."

"It's the way it is in Panem, Kine," another female scientist named Young told him. "If they don't have a sad story then they are not normal."

"We should have a Depressing Games, who ever has the saddest story wins." Kine commented.

"What about the Careers?" George asked.

"Noami witnessed a murder or something and now she is paradiod..."

"Do you think that Aniju will try and do something like she did last time?" Young asked.

"She probably will but Hell, that makes it fun." Kine repsonded with. "We have her boyfriend after all..."

This was new. I never heard the scientist talk about this before. Normally they just talked about us and the preperations for the Hunger Games like the Arena and the Revived Tributes and stuff.

"Hey have you guys seen my guantlet?" George dasked the others. "It's been missing since yesterday."

"Have you finished the Arena?" Kine asked George, who was in charge of building the Arena with Snotbubble.

"We just put the finishing touchest and hide the Easter Eggs you wanted. Snotbubble finally finish setting up the programing."

"Where is Snotbubble by the way?"

"Oh crap," George jumped up and started to leave saying, "I just remembered!"

"Hey Skye's story seems fimiliar, like I've seen it somewhere before." Kine was talking about me now. "Her story is very similar to Reeba's. Death of mum, papa gone crazy and turn abusive. Brutal beatings and scars and now in the Hungery Games. Haha, do you guys remember that stupid game where if you remembered you were playing, you lost? Glad that things over."

Rowan Winter of District 7

So Ernesto and I rode Shadowmare to the execution area. Shadowmare was a fast horse. I really didn't bother wityh the horses at my District. They were used to pull logs and stuff but I was fast on my feet so I never tried riding one. We arrived at the execution site in no time and once we got there they started with the speeches. I hated the speeches before executions. I just wanted to kill.

"Are you ready for the Execution?" a man asked Ernesto.

"Yes, I guess so." Ernesto then turned to me. "I have something for you to use. Kine gave this to me for you."

Ernesto reach up behind Shadowmare, there was a weapon tooked on to his sable. Ernesto unhooked it and gave it to me. It was a big black axe. This was a weapon used to killing, this was an executioning axe. I held it in my hands. It was heavier at the top where the weight needed to be for a good clean cut. This was a good axe. It almost glowed when I held it in my hands. I loved it.

"Is he the one who will go the execution?" The man asked Ernesto in surpised.

"Yes, he is your executioner."

Everyone seemed surprised that it was me who would be doing the execution. I wasn't surpised. I was used to it when I had to execute people. Anyways, all I knew was President Billy wanted someone killed and I was more than happy to do it. So I got to change into all black clothes because that's how the President wanted it. Ernesto handed me te axe. I went over to the cutting board, this was a Death by Decapitation kind of execution. Ernesto waited for me soemwhere behind me leaning against the wall. Once the speeches were done I was given the signal. I smiled but it was covered by the black hood I was wearing. I held up the axe high over my head so I would get a good clean cut on the first try. I glanced over at the audiance, some of the faces were in horror and in anticipation. Then I let the axe fall hard with a loud thump and the sound of breaking bones and blood gushing out. God that was a good cut! I felt a warm happy feeling inside of me. The crowd made different noises, some were good and some were bad. All I knew was I made the President happy and I hoped I made Kine happy. Ernesto came up from behind me.

"We better get back now," He whispered in my ear. I wanted to stay because after executions at my District I had to deal with the body which was fun. Not this time. Other people came to get the body so I wasn't needed. I cnaged back into my ragular clothes. There was blood on my knees from the splather so they had to wash that. I didn't mind being covered in blood. Ernesto had gotten Shadowmare and he road him back to the building where the others were training. On the way I looked around at the tall Capitol buildings. I noticed we were the only ones with a horse. Ernesto, being in with Kine, probably could do whatever he wanted. I liked being with him because it meant I could do whatever I wanted. When re arrived back at the building, I had to give the axe back to Ernesto. I was sad because I wanted to keep it.

"We're bacl,"Ernesto said as we came back to the Training Room.

"Oh goodie, hope you two had fun," Kine came over to greet us, holding some papers. "So Rowan, how is your sister doing?"

"My sister?" I was taken by surprise.

Ernesto Swift of District 14

I left the Training Room to go work on the Interview outfits. These ones didn't have to be as complicated as the Chariot Rides, thank Gawd. How do they expect me to make costumes in less than a day? Before I would go to the designing room, I decided to stop in the Music Room to see how...

"The Hell are you guys doing in here?" I heard George say.

He was already in the Music Room. I enetered the room and saw two Tributes were standing in front of George. They were the girl from District 8 Reeba and the boy from District 10 Frankie. George then ignored them and went after Snotbubble.

"What are you doing? Get out!"

"I'm allowed in here!" Snotbubble hissed playfully.

While George chased after Snotbubble I turned my attention to Frankie and Reeba.

"So, you two wondering around? Oh are you two sneaking off to have some alone time with each other. Oh Frankie, I didn't known you were such a ladies man!"

"What no! It's not like that? Reeba came in here on her own."

"Oh don't be embarressed," I put my arms around them and leaned them in close. "Listen, you two aren't supposed to be in here, so play along. I don't want George to tell Kine."

They seemed to undertsand. I turned to talk to George. He had driven Snotbubble to the other side of the room. Then he turned his attention to the open door and closed it putting the code back in. It seemed Snotbubble had taken Kine's Key Card again.

"George, don't tell Kine about this," I called to him.

"What? Snotbubble took my guantlet! You don't think I won't tell him about that? He's going to notice when I don't answer."

"I mean about Frankie and Reeba here. They wanted to be alone and gotten lost."

"They're supposed to be in the Training Area."

"I know, but you know how young couples are. I'll deal with these two."

"Fine, tell Kine that Snotbubble has his Key Card and he took my guantlet and won't tell me what he did with it."

"I don't have it anymore," Snotbubble slurred through his smile. "I don't remember where I put it."

"You better find it, Lutin!"

I ushered Reeba and Frankie out of the room leaving George to deal with Snotbubble. I took the two Tributes back to the Training room. Eventually Kine would have noticed they were missing, well maybe he would noticed Frankie's absence. Reeba was always hiding from her District partner Xavier.

"Who was that in that room?" Frankie asked me.

"George is the engineer and Snotbubble is Kine's experiment." I responded with but I knew that Frankie wasn't talking about them.

"I mean the other guy in the circle room?"

"Oh that guy generates the power for the Arean." I firgured there was no harm in tell him, you known, because he wasmost likely going to die soon.

"How does he do that?" Reeba then asked.

"I'm not really sure but it has to do with the music he plays."

"Why does his spit glow?" Frankie questioned me."Just like Snotbubble's spit?"

"Whatever Kine did, he did it to both of them,"  He said as I sent them back into the Training Room. "He onced lived in District 9."

'''Okay guys, if you want your tributes to do anything particular like ally with someone, now would be the time to tell them. Also their Private Training Session will be coming us soon, so please leave something they will do to impress the Kine and his group of scientist. During Training will be the time the Tributes will interact with their Mentors so please keep submitting Mentors, you can submit as many as you want. '''

'''Here are the alliances, in "quotations" are the names Kine started to refer the alliances as. These are not solid yet as Tributes may move to other Alliances later on and Loners are, for whatever reason, not in an alliance because they don't want to be or they haven't joined one yet. '''
