PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITING TRIBUTES! THANK YOU!

Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to The Redemption Games! These will be a special games, where all the tributes that are competing suffered a loss in a previous games. Now, many of you have victors, but you also have tributes, who have come so close to winning, but then failed. Or you've had tributes who were expected to win, and then suffered heartbreaking defeat early on, or have had tributes that suffer grevious injuries, emotional and physical, but just can't pull off the victory. In the these games, you will have a chance to redeem those tributes, in one of the most exciting, thrilling, biggest FanFiction Hunger Games of all time. These are not a regular games.

These are the Redemption Games.

Rules
PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITING TRIBUTES! THANK YOU!

1. You can enter one of your own tributes, and they DO NOT have to be from the same district. I would actually prefer if they weren't from the same district.

2. You tributes have to fit the criteria above, and CAN NOT have won a games in the past. To enter, Give me the regular info, and the games where they have suffered some sort of loss. (See intro for more detail).

3. Reservations last for 48 hours, and you can not reserve two tributes from the same districts.

4. There do not have to be two tributes from each districts, as there might not be many tributes from certain districts that fit the criteria. For example, there could be three tributes from district 1 (A district where tributes commonly come in secong or third), and only one from 12 (Where the tributes don't usually make it far, and usually aren't that strong). But, there has to be atleast one tribute from each district, and a maximum of three, possibly 4. I want to keep the male/female ratio fairly even.

5. District 13 and the Capitol are included, but do not neccesarily have to have tributes if there aren't any that fit the criteria.

6. Because of rules #4 and #5, there can be any amount of tributes, from 22 to 30, as long as they fit the criteria.

7. You can enter other user's tributes, but only if they are currently active. I will notify them that their tributes are in the games.

8. Along with the games, I will will include training, chariot rides, interviews, final 8 interviews, the victor's interview, and the victory tour. I will not include reapings, as these are not a normal games.

9. The tributes will, in the games, remember their previous games. They are in a way "resurrected" to compete in these games.

10. Each tribute will start off with $100 CDN. (I'm too lazy to add all the eztra 0's for the thousands in the tribute chart, so I'll just do $100, so the weapons and suplies will be very cheap. Choose what you want your tributes to have, and I'll decide the price.

I know this is complicated, so if you have any questions, just ask me!

Tribute Chart
"Rows may be deleted if the number of tributes from districts is not met.

'Originally from another district.

^Tribute died of injuries later on.

+Tribute was killed by Gamemakers, traps, mutts, or sacrificed themselves to save their family.

The Reapings
The reapings started off normally except for one thing. The two giant glass balls in each of the districts were replaced with a large TV screen. The crowds were puzzled, and then an image came on the screens.

"Hello, citizens of Panem," says a grave voice, coming from a blury image of a perosn on the screen. "I know you were all expecting a regular Hunger Games this year, but we've had a change of plans. Instead of a regular games, we will be using pre-selected tributes from past games this year. It will be very painfull for the family's of those tributes! Would the following tributes please come to the stage."

The voice says the names of 25 tributes from all the Districts and the Capitol. Those tributes are handcuffed and dragged to the various stages throughout the districts. Most of the people are relieved that their family is not in danger, but for a select few, they will have to endure the pain of sending loved ones off to be slaughtered. Again.

Chariot Rides
The crowd is silent, awaiting the tributes. They have seen these tributes in action before, and can not wait for them to start again. The first chariot comes out, and the crowd roars. What will undeniably be one of the biggest games in history, the Redemption Games, have begun.

Because some districts only have one tribute, I will be combining some district chariot rides.

District 1
Iridessa and Natilie are dressed like queens, with robes made of jewels, and crowns on their heads. They both have maniacal smiles on their faces, both eager to get back into the arena and start killing people. The crowd loves the costumes, but are a bit terrified by their expresions.

District 2
Lukel, Chlorine, and Trina are dressed in the standard peace keeper's uniform, with rather bored expressions on their faces. The crowd has seen this countless tiomes before, and boos them.

District 3
Semus and Alice are dressed in lights kind of like you see on billboards. The capitol bbos them, as they have seen this before. But then, the lights start to get brighter until they reach their peak and the crowd has to look away to avoid getting blind. When the light dies down, the tributes have disapeared. The crowd starts applauding, amazed at this trick.

District 4
Scorpius, Aqua, and Hail are dressed as sharks in teh begginning, but thewn their costumes begin to morphe into different sea creatures, from sharks to sea anenomes and squid. The crowd gets on their feet for this one.

District 6
Illegal and Maple are dressed as ninjas for this ride, with the the head bands and the swords and throwing stars. Illegal just sits around doing nothing, but Maple is on her feet, slicing up dummies on the chariot and dancing around. They love her but Illegal... not so much.

District 7
Zebra and Primrose are dressed like loggers, but they don't actually do anything until three minutes in. All of a sudden, saws seem to come from nowhere within their costumes. They each have five table saws on them that come half way through their costume, and appear to be slicing them into confetti, but they are somehow unharmed. They then walk up to a number of trees on their chariot, stand up against them, and the slice them down in a fraction of a second. They then start doing cartwheels and destroy anything on their chariot. The crowd absolutely loves them, and gives a standing ovation.

District 8
Amethyst and Chisle are dressed completely in hundreds ribbons and confetti, and they are blowing around at leats ten feet off their bodies. A fan on the chariot blows them around, and makes them look quite spectacular. The crowd likes this one until the tributes get tripped up by the ribbons and start flopping around like bafoons!

District 10
Satan is all alone for this one, but he prefers it that way. He is dressed as farmer at first, chewing on some hay, when all of a sudden he is surrounded in smoke. When it clears, it reveals him as a demon-like farmer. His clothes are the same, but his facial features look like something you'd see in a horror movie. The crowd turns away in fear, but can't deny that that was a stunning performance.

District 11
Jay and Ash are dressed up as fruits, Ash as an orange, and Jay as an apple. They are just rolling around laughing, and the crowd isn't that impressed at the ride. They like the tributes themselves though, and they show great promise.

District 12
Dare and Beauty are dressed literally as sticks of dynamite. The fuse burns down and they explode, giving the front row some rather painful burns. The tributes are revealed standing there and waving to the crowd, trying to play nice to the people they hate.

Districts 5 & 9
Malco and Gemma are dressed as Greek and Roman warrior respectfully. The begin to battle, Malco with a trident and a net and aromor, Gemma with a sword. The crowd knows it's fake, but the tributes make it look quite real.

District 13 & Capitol
Tiffany is dressed like a SWAT member, and Octavio like a handsome prince. The crowd immediatly falls in love with Octavio, and likes Tiffany too when she starts shooting a beebee gun into the crowd. Both tributes are good, and even Octavio, as shallow as he is, can be a killer.

Day 1
Training starts off normal. All the tributes have done this before. But an hour in, the gamemakers arrive, along with some unexpected guests.

All the victors of the tribute's games are present at the training. Most of the tributes just ignore them, but a few start cursing, and some have to be held back to stop them from running up to the victors, to either try to strangle them, give them a hug, or just talk. Once the tributes calm down, the victors make their way intot he training area. Again, most just ignore them and go off to training, but some stay to, well, greet them.

Natalie Cambell makes a beeline towards Albany, looks at him, and then punches him in the face, breaking his nose. A gamemaker drags her away, and takes Albany to the hospital wing. Amethyst goes up to Whimzi, and they say their greetings, kind of akwardly. Primrose also starts talking, and the three stay together for a while.

Satan goes up to Spring Howards, and Spring has a face full of sorrow.

"I never should have let you go. It's my fault you died, and now you're back here again," she whispers.

"Don't be an idiot. It's the Hunger Games. And just 'cause I'm here again doesn't mean I'll die."

"Everyone here is a psycopath! How can you not die? You'll be a huge target!"

"I don't know. But I'll try hard to win. For you," he replies.

Meanwhile, Jay and Ash from 11 have allied, and so have Primrose, Amethyst, Scorpius, and Zebrawood, and the career pack is beingformed. All the tributes from the career district have allied except for Scorpius, Natalie, who wants to go solo, and Trina. The careers have also added Tiffany from 13. Alice is working on Satan, trying to form an alliance. She reminds him of Abigail, and eventually he accepts.

Malco and Gemma form a shaky alliance, and reject Illegal when he asks to be included. Beauty and Chisel stay together the entire day, focusing on swordplay and knives. They have a mutual agreement to stay together. They take in Semus, and together they form a threesome alliance. Everyone else goes solo. Dare is thinking about possibly joining up with Trina, but doesn't get the chance to talk with her. The alliances mostly stay together in training, working on improving their combat skills.

Day 2
For day 2, most of the tributes go solo, trying to work on their individual skills. The few exceptions are Satan and Alice, and Jay and Ash. Chisel works on survival skills, and Amethyst tries to learn more about the careers so she has a better chance at fighting them.She's still kinda caught up in that "Anti-Career" thing. Zebrawood spends about 5 minutes at each station, trying to learn as much as he can before heading nto the arena. Trina and Dare try to form an alliance, but Dare accidently offends her, and they walk off alone.

Scorpius tries to improve his gladiator style of fighting (trident and a net) and works on hunting. Octavio tries to appear weak, but concealing a great fighter and a mad killer.

Gemma is working on axes and spears, and Natalie is working on knives, and trying to get under the skin of as many other tributes as she can. The tributes leave satisfied, hungry for revenge, and eager to show their skills to the gamemakers tomorrow.

Training Scores
See the "Tribute Chart" above for training scores.

Interviews
Caeser Flickerman is sitting in his chair, hair painted blinding white, waiting for the first tribute. The interviews will be a little different this year, with sometimes more than one tribute up on the stage at once.

Natalie comes up on the stage, looking rather grumpy and snapping at caeser.

"I dunno, i just wanna kill people," is her standard response. The crowd admires her training score, but isn't too fond of her personality.

Iridessa is a lot nicer, and smiles and waves to the crowd.

"It's so great to be back here again! I can't wait to get into that arena!" she says, her smile loking a bit fake.

Lukel Darker is indeed very dark and mysterious in the interview, not saying much at all.

Trina and Chlorine come on together, and even thogh they are not allies, try to get along. It doesn't work, and at the buzzer, the girls are trying to strangle each other.

Seamus talks about his strengths and his strategy in the arena, which is to run away from the cornucopia, hide behind some rocks or something near the cornucopia, and take whatever is left at the end.

Alice talks up Satan, and how the two have connected really well. Satan can't help but smile.

The D4 tributes come up together. Scorpius says how grateful he is to the Capitol, obviously trying to win sponsors. Hail taks about her experices here, and how she plans on winning these games at all costs. Aqua says she's out for revenge against quite a few of the tributes, and wants the Capitol to help her get it.

Malco and Gemma get called up together, and talk about their alliance.

"So Gemma, how do you think this alliance will hold up against the bigger alliances in these games?"

"We just have to trust eachother to do the right thing, and stick together no matter what. I fwe die, we die together" she says. The Capitol loves these two.

Illegal is up next, and is extremely irritated. He gives Caeser cold looks all the time, and the Capitol doesn't really like him much.

Maple says she wants to go completely solo, and doesn't want to team up with anybody. The Capitol is still unsure about her.

Zebra and Primrose get called up, and talk about how they want to pummel the careers. They start making exremely rude comments, and you can hear the indignant shouts of the careers from behind the stage.

Amethyst follows the same line, but is more respectful towards the careers. She talks about her alliances strategies untilt he buzzer rings.

Chisel says he is excited to work with Beauty, and together they would be an amazing pair. That with his great score, he is a Capitol favourite.

Satan talks about how he and Abigail have bonded, and how she reminds him of Abigail. He says that they'll do amazing together, and that no one stands a chance against the pair of them.

Jay jokes around with Caeser, and the Capitol immediatly likes her. She goes three minutes over when she tells a joke about her and Ash in training, a broken iPod, a bottle of tartar sauce, and a sword (long story) that cracks the audience up.

Ash is a bit more serious, and talks about him and Jay's strategies. The Capitol likes the tribbs from 11 especially.

Dare talks about how he was gonna team up with someone, he doesn't say who, and then says he decided against it. Rather boring, and it doesn't take a guenius to figure out he meant Trina.

Beauty praises Chisel, and says he's the best friend she ever had. She chokes up at this point, and has to leave the stage.

Tiffany id dead serious, and says she's gonna win this for everyone who has ever suffered in the games, and for everyone back in 13. The Capitol admires her determination.

Octavio says that even with his low score, he will do well in these games. He says that he has some hidden talents, and that they should watch him closely.

Landscape
This year, the arena will be different every day.

It will start off as a forest in the winter, but the next day the pine trees could be replaced with cactuses, palm trees, boulders, lakes, even building. And the wheather will change as well. It could go from blazing heat to hurricane-force winds in a few hours. The landscape, wheather, everything will be different each day. The general shape of the arena, a six-sided star, will stay the same, and so will the cornucopia and a few other major landmarks, but everything else will be constantly changing. For more details, see The first paragraph on Day 1.

I will reveal the arena after the interviews are completed.

Mutts
The only mutt this year is a Komodo Dragon that stands on it's hind legs. It's limbs are more humanoid which makes it very fast, and it is shaped kind of like a velociraptor from Jurassic Park. It's bite is deadly, and it has an incredible sense of smell that allows it to smell things with in a 200 yard radius. It attacks any human in sight.

The Twist
"In that village are your families. And they. Are. Dying. You have twenty-four hours." To add extra drama this year, the tribute's families have been placed in the arena, their memories washed, not remembering the tributes. They are near the edge of the arena, all together in a little village with huts, constantly being attacked by mutts. Claudius will reveal this to the tributes on Day 2 and will give them a choice: continue on with the games and try to be the last one standing and leave their families do die at the Capitol's hand after the games, or to sacrifice themselves and have no chance at surving so their family so they can go home, get their memories back, and live on. Again, the tributes have no idea what is going on, but when they find out, they will have to band together to find a way to protect their loved ones without dying, or leave them to perish.

Day 1
Narrator

"Let the Redemption Games begin!"

The tributes rise up on their platforms, into the arena. Some are dreading the sound of the gong, others anticipating it. The cornucopia is on a very small, round plateau about 200 metres wide. It is about 40 metres high, and slopes down steeply into a forest beyond the circle of tributes. The only other ways out is are four rope bridges placed evenly by the tributes that lead down safely into the arena. The tributes are spread farther apart this year, each about 75 meters away from the cornucopia. The tributes tense, awaiting the gong that never seems to ring. When it finally does, all hell breaks loose.

Seamus

I'm cursing under my breath at the sight of the arena. Now how am I suppost to carry out my strategy? there's no where to hide near the cornucopia. I decide to bag my stratey, and rush to the cornucopia. I grab two plastic bags, and a machete and then leave down the steep slope.

Satan

I immediatly spot Alice and I make a beeline towards her. Another tribute is advancing towards her with a sword in hand. I am not going to let her die like Abigail. I grab a knife and prepare to attack, but she handles it herself. She slices at Chlorine from 2 with an axe, and she falls down, as good as dead.

The rest of the careers see us, and I think now is a good time to take off. We run towards the nearest bridge, only to be ambushed by Malco from 5, who slices at my hand.

Primrose

Me, Amethyst, Scorpius, and Zebrawood rush towards eachother, and each grab what we can. We try to sneak down the hill, but the careers see us and two of them, Aqua and Lukel, run after us.

"You guys go, I'll hold 'em off!" shouts Zebra, already running back up the hill.

"Zebra no! We're faster than them ,lets just run!" I shout back.

"No, let him go. He's a better fighter than those two, he can take them," says Amethyst, with a little doubt in her voice.

Zebra rushes up the hill, sword in hand, but the rest of the career pack has joined them, preparing to kill him, and before we can run back after him, they have pulled him out of view.

Hail

We captured the guy from 7, and we have him surrounded.

"Lets just kill him quickly and get back to the corncopia!" growls Chlorine.

"No. Lets take him with us, mabye ransom him off. He could be useful," says Tiffany in such a commanding voice, nobody argues.

"Alright, now lets get back to the cornucopia! Quickly, the other sare gettng away!" shouts Chlorine.

Octavio

I wait around my plate, watching for prey. When Illegal from 6 comes towards me, I pull out a hatchet from my shirt, and throw it at him, point blank. It hits him in the stomach, and he goes down. He isn't dead yet, and he starts crawling away towards an empty bridge. He'll be dead in an hour max, so I let him go.

I grab a pack of meat, a water bottle, and take off across a bridge.

Dare

I grab a spear and stand back, surveying the sceen. To my shock, I see Ash from 11 Beauty, my district partner, in the neck. I want to go in and save her, but I know she is already gone. Chisel pulls her away from the cornucopia, and stays with her until he's sure she's dead, then he runs off with almost nothing.

Trina comes up to me, and asks for an alliance. I had originally wanted to go solo, but I realize it would be way smater to team up with her. We take off down the hill.

Malco

Me and Gemma team up, but we're having trouble with the careers. Luckily only two of them bother with us, Lukel and Aquamarine. The rest are aready going down the hill. I notice Chlorine fighting with Jay, but I can't worry about that now. Me and Gemma arm ourselves, and charge the the careers. We have the upper hand with more weapons, and we back them up onto the bridge. Aquamarine gets a lucky strike, and puts a gash in Gemma's left thigh. She goes down, and Lukel comes in for the kill. I have to sve her, and I do the only thing I can. I cut the ropes suspending the bridge, but it doesn't fall Lukel is getting closer to Gema, but is still on the bridge. I plunge my sword into one of the planks, and that does it. It gives a mighty groan, and it topples, sending me, Lukel, and Aquamarine tumbling to the ground a hundred and fifty feet bellow.

Alice

Me and Satan have gottn off the bridge, and are in the area. It's cold, at leats -10 celsius. A parachute comes down containing a jacket. I wrap it around Satan, tear off part of the sleeve, and use it as a bandage. He should be fine, but we're both tired and wounded, not to mention hungry. We're under a snow-capped tree not far from the bridge, when we hear a groaning sound. It's the rope bridge, and it's coming down. One of the tributes must have cut it loose! I get Satan out of the way as quick as possible, norrowly avoiding a shard of wood. Satan gets up and runs to the wreckage, looking for tributes. I see the body of one tribute, but I can't ell which. Another one runs off, obscured by the dust and wood. I see a blood trail leading in the other direction.

Trina

Me and Dare are well into the arena by now, and we can see another tribute, the guy from 3, in the distance. We run up to him. He has a mechete in hand, and slices at me, I dodge it, and Dare puts a spear in him, and I finish him off with a knife. We take his supplies and continue on.

Chisel

I've run into the careers, and I ask if they want to be allies. They agree immediatly, probably because of my 11 in training. It's me, Natalie, Hail, and Tiffany. Chlorine from 2 joins us, disapointed since she didn't get to kill Jay, but her disapointment disappears when they see Lukel running up to them, wincing as he limped.

"Malco- he- he cut the bridge. Sent him and me and- and Aquamarine down the hill. Aqua's dead. Malco barely survived, same with me."

"Wait. what about his ally, Jennifer or Gemal or something?" asks Hail.

"Not sure. We wounded her pretty badly, but she may have survived," replies Lukel. He sees Chisel for the first time. "What's he doing here?" he aks.

"He got an eleven in training. He's pretty good, we'll keep him."

"What about Zebra over here?" he asks, pointing to the unconcious boy.

"We'll keep him, but for a different reason. Mabye we can ransom him off to his allies or something. We didn't get much at the cornucopia," replies Tiffany.

"Okay, but how-"

"Enough questions!" I interupt. "Let's go before someone finds us!"

Ash

Me and Jay were the last ones to leave the cornucopia, so we're loaded. We're camping right by the cornucopia hill when the canons start going off. Five of them. Not many at all. The faces then light up in the sky. Iridessa from 1, good, never liked her. Seamus from 3, Aquamarine from 4, Illegal from 6, and Beauty from 12. Five dead on Day 1, twenty of the most dangerous tributes of all time left to go.

Day 2
Narrator

The tributes are still rather close to eachother, except for Trina and Dare, and the alliance consisting of Amethyst, Primrose, Scorpius, and Zebrawood. They are far into the arena, but the rest are still close to Cornucopia Hill. The tributes prepare themselves for a day of bloodshed, but something much bigger, even crueler, is about to be revealed. The trumpets sound, followed by the voice of Claudius Templesmith.

"Good morning, top twenty! I have a little surprise for you today," he begins. "If you choose so, you may go to the very edge of the arena, where you will find a village. In that village, are some people that you know."

"In that village are your families, and they are dying."

" You may go to the village, and if you survive the mutts, you may offer yourself to save your family, just your family, so they can go home. If you do not do this, at the end of the games, the remaining families will die. If at least one tribute does not arrive there in twenty four hours, they will all die. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour."

Stunned silence fills the arena.

Jay

The first thing I noticed was the weather.

Yesterday it had been freezing, and the parka I found at the cornucopia kept me relatively warm, but today all the snow had melted, and somehow, many of the pine trees had been replaced with maples and biches. The tepurature is at least 35 degrees celsius, and me and Ash are both sweating like crazy.

We decide to look for victims, and split up for a while so we can cover twice the ground. We've been searching for about an hour staying within about 100 yards of eachother, when I hear Ash scream. I rush to his aid, And I find him with cuts all over.

"What happened?!" I ask him, panicking.

"A mutt! This huge lizard thing just rushed at me and started clawing at me! I stabbed it and it ran away, but he'll be back soon. Lets get out of here!" he screams.

We run at full speed for ten minutes, but it looks like the thing has caught up to us. Not the one that attacked Jay, but a baby, by the looks of it. It approaches us, about 4 feet tall, standing on it's hind legs. It looks like a blend of a velociraptor and a Komodo Dragon. It pounces on me, and I behead it, but not before it gives me a decent sized bite in the arm. It's extremly painfull, and I figure it must be poisonous. We don't stop running though, and we eventually reach a clearing.

In it are a bunch of huts, and people all around. Some of the huts look rather burnt, and many of the people are wounded. We realize that things are going to get a lot harder from here.

We're reached the village.

Alice

You'd think Satan didn't even hear the announcement.

Right after it was done, Satan shrugged and fell asleep. I shook him awake quickly.

"Satan! We need to go! Didn't you hear Claudius? Our families are in danger!" I scream at him.

"I don't have any family," He says blankly.

"Okay, but what about my family?"

We don't even know where to look. And I'm sure someone will find the place, so we have a while to rescue them. That is if you're sure you want to sacrifice yourself for them," he replies.

I want to say I'm sure, that I want them to go home safe, but I can't. It's just to overwhelming, and I can't get a straight line of thought.

"Fine. We'll stay put today and rest, but tomorrow we're going," I say in a commanding voice.

Satan yawns and says "okay" and then falls back to sleep.

Scorpius

Our decision is unanimous. We'll go to the village slowly, hoping to run into tributes (Particularly the careers) along the way. None of us are quite sure what to do when we get their.

We make camp after about five miles of hiking. We're all in good shape, so it doesn't take long. I sit down with Amethyst by our campfire.

"Hey. How's it going?" I say to her, which sounds kind lame considering the circumstances.

She ignores my question, and then asks me one herself.

"So what are you gonna do when we get there?" she asks, refering to the village with our families in it.

"I don't know. There must be some way we can rescue them, and ourselves. Nothing's inpossible," I reply.

"Yeah, keep dreaming. Unless we have extremely rich sponsors that'll send us some nukes a helicopter, some grenade launchers, and a way out of the arena, It's as good as impossible."

"There's got to be some way out of the arena other than dying or winning, either scenario would get our families killed" I say, lowering my voice so that any microphones or cameras around won't be able to catch that.

"You might be right..." she replies, but I can tell she's only saying that to get me to shut up so she can have some time to think.

Malco

Me and Gemma race through the forest, wanting desparatley to reach the village. We hear the sound of footsteps behind us, but we don't look back. Gemma trips on a root, and I make a U-turn back to her. It's too late though. Octavio, the Capitol boy, jumps on her, and puts a knife in her back. I'm frozen in fear, and he rushes me too. I brace myself for death, but as he's running towards me, another tribute comes out of no where, and gives Octavio a tackle that would have gotten her kicked out of the NFL. It's Tiffany from 13, and she slits his throat.

She turns on me, and I draw my sword and charge. The rest of the careers are right behind her, and I don't have time to think it through. I slash at hwer legs, but she jumps in time. I punch her in the gut, and she is startled. I don't hesitate. I sprint off through the forest in the direction we were going, hoping to reach the village by evening.

Natalie

Me and the rest of the careers run up to try to catch up to the commando girl from 13, including Zebra, who has given up trying to escape. We find her standing over two dead tributes as the cannons sound.

I gulp. After her 11 in training, and already several kills, she is very dangerous. I think we all know that we'll have to kill her at some point, she's just too strong. But none of us want to risk a mutiny.

"Lets keep going," she says briefly, and she takes off with the rest of the careers struggling to keep up with her.

Tiffany

We're following the footprints of Jay and Ash from 11, hoping that they lead to the village. The rest of the carrers see me as their leader, and I'm eager to take up that role. I told them we're going there because the village will atract others too, people we can kill. But none of the careers seem eager to rescue their families, except mabye Lukel, who's looked depressed ever since the announcement.

I'm going there for a different reason. I'm gonna sacrifice myself for my family, my mom and my brothers. I can't let them die. It goes against everything I've learned in 13, it goes against my nature. Never leave anyone behind. I haven't told the rest of the careers that yet. I don't want them to see me as weak, but when the time comes, they'll find out.

Primrose

Well, we've reached the village, and we've camped about 50 yards away from the clearing with all the huts. We're all armed, and we've lit a campfire, hoping to attract the careers. I'm on guard when I see another tribute sitting under a tree. It's getting dark out, and I can't see their face. I approach with an axe in hand, and say "Hey there."

The tribute I now recognize as Malco, jumps up with a sword and prepares to strike.

"Whoa there, truce!" I yell. He lowers his sword. "Hey, weren't you with Gemma?" I ask.

"I was," he confirmed. "That idiot from the Capitol killed her. She's stronger than she looks, or at least was, until the careers finished her."

"Well" I continue. "You wanna be allies? We could use another good fighter," I ask.

"Sure, why not. I take it you're still with Amethyst and Scorpius?"

"Yep. Come on, I'll take you to our camp."

We run back to our camp, just in time to see Natalie form 1 run out of the trees from the other side of the camp and start attacking my allies.

Day 3 has just begun, and the careers have found Amethyst's alliance, and Natalie is the first to attack. No one even notices Gemma's and Octavio's faces light up in the sky. Jay and Ash are running to the sound of fighting, as are Satan and Alice, and Maple. Dare and Trina are the only ones not going into the fight, but they are approaching slowly, and will in the end, be in the fight. All the tributes, villagers, and many of the Komodo Mutts are in one place, and that can mean only one thing.

Bloodshed.

Day 3
Amethyst

Me and Scorpius wake up to the sound of a tribute crashing into the camp. We both draw our weapons, and burst outside. Primrose and another tribute who I don't recognize are right behind us. The rest of the careers areive, and all of them attack except for Tiffany and Lukel, who stand back, both looking unsure of what to do. Tiffany whispers something to Lukel, and they take off towards the village, taking Zebrawood with them.

Satan

We're running towards the fighting, and we only stop when Alice recieves a sword, a katana. She unties it from the parachute, and we keep going. We run until we reach the fighting. It's a large clearing, not the village, but close to it. It looks like a fight between the careers and the anti-careers, with a number of other tributes beginning to join in. I pull out an axe and a whip, and charge.

Narrator

Tiffany and Lukel are rushing towards the village, taking Zebra with them.

"Why are we running!?" shouts Lukel. "The fight's back there!"

"To split them up. They saw us with him, and I bet at least one of them will follow us. You're armed right?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Then lets keep going," replies Tiffany.

Tiffany felt guilty, because she knows she should stay back there, and fight with her allies. But in truth, she's running away to avoid the fight. She's seen enough bloodshed, enough death. She wants out, and she was running to the village to sacrifice herself.

Jay and Ash are sprinting with weapons in hand, closely followed by mutts. Jay is beginning to feel the effects of the poison, and is slowing down. She bravely continues on though, until they reach the battle. Jay recieves a syringe and realizes it's for the poison. She quickly jabs it into her shoulder, and continues on.

Primrose takes off to find her district partner, while Scorpius, Amethyst, and Malco prepare to do battle with the careers. Amethyst charges Natalie, while Scorpius and Malco go up against Chlorine and Hail. Chisel goes to meet Jay and Ash, and Trina and Dare are quickly approaching.

Primrose eventually catches up, and Tiffany and Lukel have Zebrawood in an armlock, with a knife to his throat.

"Come any closer," warns Lukel, sounding out of breath, "And the boy dies."

Primrose halts, and races to come up with a plan. The careers can't kill him without Primrose attacking, and Primrose can't attack without killing Zebra. Both parties are waiting for the other to make a move, when two parachutes drop, one to Primrose, and one to Zebra, landing by his feet.

He doesn't hesitate. Lukel is so stunned he can't hold him back, and he breaks free. The two grab their axes, and attack. Zebra attacks Tiffany, and Primrose charges Lukel. Lukel swings his sword, and it catches on her axe. They pull free, and Primrose throws the axe, misses, and then dives to avoid the slash of the sword.

Zebra swings the axe, and misses Tiffany's head by a hair. He is unbalanced, and Tiffany doesn't hesitate. She takes a knife, and plunges it into Zebrawood's chest. He stumbles and falls against a tree. Primrose is engulfed with rage, and kicks Lukel away, and throws her axe with all he rmight at Tiffany. It catches her arm, and she cries out in pain and rus for the village.

She lets her go for now, and rushes to her dying district partner. She doesn't bother trying to tell him it's okay, that he'll pull through. He's not an idiot. She holds his hand until the cannon sounds, and runs back to the others.

Back at the camp, It's complete chaos. Lukel and Primrose are back, and Jay and Ash don't seem to be on anyone's side. It's a three way battle, and in the middle of it are Amethyst and Natalie.

They both have swords, and both are experts. They are swinging like lunatics, both wanting to slay the other. They only pause when they hear a cannon, but ge right back at it. Scorpius is in hand-to-hand combat with Chisel, and Chisel has him in a headock and is about to choke him to death when Jay comes in and hits him on the head with a tree branch. He stumbles, but quickly regains balance. The three eye eachother, and Jay attacks Scorpius for no apparant reason. They are fighting spear-to-spear, when the wind rappidly picks up. It starts as little more than a gust, but within minutes it becomes hurricane-force winds. The tributes stop fighting, and just try to stay on their feet. In the confussion, Malco accidently slits Chlorine's throat, sending her down. The winds are so strong that they manage to drag her body away.

Trina

Me and Dare are struggling towards the battle, fighting the wind. We've figured out the secret of the arena. Each day represents a certain season, the first, winter. Then summer, and now autumn. I guess that means tomorrow will be a peaceful springtime, but with our luck, It'll be a monsson or something. All of a sudden, the wind halts, and we both stumble forward, and rush to the fight. It's an all out battle, with several tributes already dead or wounded. I charge at Scorpius, and Dare goes for Amethyst. She can't see me, and I'm about to slice her head off when the wind starts up again.

"Great. Just my luck," I think to myself as I'm struggling to stand. Primrose doesn't even notice me, and runs with the wind on her back, out of my reach. A cloud of dust sprays in my face, and I go to the ground. The wind blows me away from the action, and right before I black out, I see a sword slashing towards Dare.

Amethyst

I'm fighting with the guy from 12, and he's good.

He's already got me on my arm, and is winning thr battle. His ally, Trina, is nowhere to be seen. For all I know, she's already dead, her cannon lost in the chaos. I loose my concentration, and he makes a quick stab right to my stomach. He makes contact, but luckily It's not deep. I crumple to the ground, and he tries to finish me off. I grab a knife on the ground, and barely block it with the hilt. He's surprised to find me still alive, and I don't hesitate. I grab his sword, turn it towards him and stab him in the heart. I stumble away towards the woods alone, clutchng my wound.

Maple

Luckily, the wind is on my side, and I mae it to the battle quickly. It's like sharks atracted to blood, almost every tribute is here. I spot Ash from 11 all alone, and I rush towards him. He draws his sword, but I'm quicker. I knock it aside, and he is forced to run into the wind. He struggles forward with me on his tail. We're both going as slow as turtles, and then I have an idea. With a lot of effort, I bend down, pick up a rock, and throw it at him. The wind prevents it from going fast, but it's enought to knock him off his feet, right into my waiting sword.

Chisel

The wind is blowing in all directions, as if the clearing is surrounded with super-powerul fans. Everyone is disoriented, and the fighting has pretty much stopped, and people are just trying to stay on their feet. Jay and Trina are nowhere to be seen, and Amethyst has fled. Primrose and Scorpius are trying to stay together, and the remaining careers are getting ready to leave. I have the wind on my back so I get to the careers in no time. I then recieve a sledgehammer from the sponsors. Natalie, Lukel, me, and Hail are the only ones left. No one realy knows where Tiffany is, but we can't exactly go look for her.

Hail

Me and the careers are getting ready to leave, picking up as many spare weapons as we can, which is almost impossible to do without getting thrown around like confetti. Satan and Alice are still here, and Satan is coming at us, with a sword he just recieved from sponsors. On that topic, I recieved a knife, and Lukel soem body armor, which makes me kind of jealous. Satan is running towards us, and I charge with a knife and a shield. He cracks his whip, and gets my shoulder. He slashes his sword, and I deflect it with a shield. He uses his whip, and slashes his sword at the same time, and I can't deflect both. His sword hits my shin, and I go down. I'm on the ground, barely breathing. I feal a searing pain in my neck as everything goes black.

Narrator

The battle has had a devestating effect on all the tributes. Only one alliance was left unscathed, which was the Alice/Satan alliance. Amethyst and Trina are both alone because of injuries. Primrose, Scorpius, and Malco are staying together, looking for Amethyst. The careers are together, but all wounded. Maple is alone, looking for a possible ally. Jay is also alone. Tiffany racing towards the village, still unsure of what to do.

The rest of Day 3 goes without any further contact between the tributes. People spend it trying to recover from the battle. Tiffany camps by the village, still unsure of what she is going to do. There's tension in the air, and the tributes know that the end is coming. Many tributes are already desperatly thinking of ways to bust out of the arena, with their families. To do this, they must band together. They must forget old rivalries, and work together to find a way out. If they do not, the lives of nearly a hundred innocent people will be in the hands of the Capitol. The games are coming to an end, but really, they have just begun.

Let The Redemption Games begin, for real.
