User blog:~PopTart~/90th Hunger Games

Hi!
Hi! This is my first Hunger Games and I hope you enjoy the finished result. After Mockingjay, Coin's family leaves District 13 and lives in the Capitol. After the epilogue, Coin's family takes over the President's mansion and starts the Hunger Games over again. Three tributes apiece. I need the tribute's first and last name, district, gender, age, appearance, skills, and weaknesses. Thanks!

Reapings
Disrtict 1

John Trike:

I stood in the 15 year old's section and waited to see who would go in the Games. Our escort, Olivia Traine stood there waving her hand in the bowl. Then she pulled out a name. "Shimmer Hyrute!" Shimmer walked up to the stage and looked as proud as she could be. She started to blow kisses to all of the cheering audience. "Excuse me, but that's my job!" Olivia yelled. She stood on the stage and blew kisses, and suddenly, the audience stopped cheering. Her face was so red! "Anyway, the boys." Once again, she put her hand in the bowl, and grabbed a name. "John Trike!" My mother gasped. Seriously, Mom? Anyway, I walk to the stage. The audience is clapping and I have a smile on my face. If I win, I could be famous! If I lose, I'd still be famous!

District 2

Eva Stone:

I eagerly wait for the reapings to happen. Then as our escort, Sandon Root, comes in, we all clap. "Thank you!" he says. Then he walks over to the girl's bowl. "Now our female tribute will be..." He puts his hand in the bowl. I am very anxious. Then he calls out "Kailee Song!" She walks up to the stage. She turned twelve yesterday, so she'd probably be the youngest tribute. She began crying. Real tears, not sympathy tears. "I volunteer," I say casually. "Another volunteer!" Sandon says. I walk to the stage. Kailee is looking better. "Thank you," she says. "You saved my life." "Your welcome, now shut up," I say. Then, she starts crying again. My brother gives me a funny look. "What?" I mouth him. The Sandon patted my back and put his hand in the boy's bowl. "The male tribute is... Malecai Gerama!" He walks up there and I know that winning the Games would be harder then I thought. He was pure muscle. I think I volunteered for the wrong Games. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Tributes of District Two!"

District 3

Aria Velinose:

I am one of the smallest fifteeen year olds in the reaping areas. The sun isn't up yet. District Three is the western-most district, in what was once California. Then Luna Behan, the escort comes out in a dress that would be considered weird even on Capitol standards. "Hello!" she shouts. "Now I will select a male first this year. I like to change things up a bit." My thirteen year old sister giggles, pointing to Luna's dress. She reaches her hand out, and the rediculous inflated bracelets make it impossible to fit her hand in. The audience stiffles a laugh. She throws the handcuff/bracelet off and draws the name like a normal person. At least, more normal. "Matthew Coupe!" He is one of the strongest people I know. He walks up to the stage. He was orphaned at five, so he grew up tough. "Now for the ladies!" Her hand is making me nervous. My sister and I lock eyes. "Aria Velinose!" I slowly walk up to the stage. I pretend not to be scared, but it's almost impossible. I huddle my jacket close and feel the cold wind blow on my face. My sister's eyes were watering. I knew that she knew that there were twenty-five people who would win ten times before me.

District 4

Silver Ganis:

The reapings begin. I'm kind of scared and unlike most people of District 4, I don't want to be reaped. I am a small girl and know I probably wouldn't be accepted by the Careers. Annie Cresta, now well into her fifties, decided to come to the reaping this year. She is sitting down in a chair next to our crazy escort, Dylan West, who is wearing his hair in a mohawk died blue and purple, varying each spike. He's nineteen, one of the youngest escorts. "Now for the girls, we have Rosetta Lanform!" Chrspin, her brother yells to the girls, "Someone, volunteer!" I have had a, well, crush on Chrspin for about two years now. I guess I would do anything for him, so... "I volunteer!" Dylan reached down and shook my hand. I saw Chrspin in the audience and he mouthed me thank-you. I am so happy that, and I must have zoned out for a while because I didn't realize that Chrspin was reaped. Chrspin was reaped! I was feeling very sad and amost cried on national television. I guess one-way love never lasts.

District 5

Christian Lorne:

"Ouch!" Macy shouts. "That's not me!" I say in response. Mrs. Burns is taking the orphans from twelve to eighteen to the reapings this year. "Quiet!" Mrs. Burns said. "Don't cause a commotion like you did last year." she said sternly. I remember last year. Macy and Thomas, two of the orphanage kids got in an argument. They resorted to physical violence and Macy ended up in the hospital for three weeks, and a good three weeks they were. So, the escort, Danielle Strike is talking about Panem and the districts and the First and Second Revolutions and Blah-Blah, I don't care. Finally, she gets to the names. Her hand clawed around the bowl. Then she shouts "Camilla Averson!" Camilla walks forward slowly and stands on the stage. I look at her and she gave an icy look to the audience. Then Danielle puts her hand in the boy's bowl. She picks a name. "Christian Lorne!" I am scared. The soft snow lands on my coat. I brush it off as I walk to what would become my death. Camilla looked at me and I saw a sad look in her eyes. As I se Camilla's parents, they bring back a memory I tried to forget.

District 6

Benjamin Woodrew:

I saw just how real the Games were a few years ago. When I was twelve, I was reaped, and a complete stranger volunteered for me and won the Hunger Games. Now, I'm here once again. As Tambour Dust walks out he cires, "Welcome!" and he continues with "Ready for some Hunger Games? Well, you're in luck!" and he says this every year. So after minutes, and what seemed like hours, of the routine speech, he draws the name. "Lynette Handsows!" She walks to Tambour the Repetitive and is shaking as if it were below freezing. Then he reaches in the other bowl and calls my name. Again. I walk up there and Lynnie gives me a sort-of-smile and then looks to see her family a few more times before the Games. I would wave to my family, but they treat me like a servant. I heard that Peeta Mellark had a strict mother. Now, he and his family are all in hiding and have been the main focus of the Capitol's research since Coin's family took office. But maybe, I'll be victor. I spied on the weapon maker in the neighborhood for about a year now. I can use an axe pretty well. But now, stay focused on the present.

District 7

Mia Lillyrun:

"Hello! Welcome! It is such an honor to come here from the Capitol and take all of you children to the Hunger Games!" our escort, Nina Grin, said. She was so obsessed with how amazing the Capitol is. She can get very, very annoying. She takes a slip out of the bowl and calls my name. "No!" I shout. I would do anything I could to get kicked out of the Games. When I get up there, I stick out my foot and Nina trips and falls. Almost everyone stares and gasps. When she stands up, she is fine, but the floor has a make-up stain the shape of her face. A few kids are giggling, and I kind of do, too. "Enough! I wish I coud send you back but it is against the law!" In a huff, she mutters out a name no one cane hear. Everyone is confused. "I said, Altlas Dunnin!" Altlas walks up and he stands on the Nina stain on the floor, just to infuriate her. I know him pretty well, and even when he is about to die, he'll never change.

District 8

Bree Barlow:

When Aaron was reaped, my life changed. He became a victor and now we live in the Victor's Village. He is my brother and is nineteen now. Now I'm just stepping on to the sixteen year olds section. Then Retta Barnes comes out to show us the video and after a long time of introductions, she finally gets to the reapings. "Okay!" she shouts. "For the ladies!" she grabs a slip and takes a look at it. "Bree Barlow!" I guess it would happen sooner or later. They always choose victor's families. "Bree, it was such an honor to escort your brother. I hope you do just as well as he did." she states. Then her hand goes in the other bowl and doesn't stall around and just gets to the point. "Sebastian Klein!" He was pretty tall, and he showed up in a crowd. "Come on Sebastian." He slowly walked up to her. He knew he had a good chance of winning, but he still didn't want to go. Now, I can see the injustice of the Capitol very clearly now. The Coins need to go down.

District 9

Troy Cunner:

I am only twelve and I'm pretty sure I won't get reaped, but you never know. Then Jasmine Tea comes out to take some names. "Welcome to the 90th Hunger Games District Nine Reapings!" she says joyfully. I can tell she expects a cheer, but she doesn't get one. "On to the names. This time, we will draw the boys first. "Troy Cunner!" "No!" I shout furiously. I only had one slip in the entire bowl. How is this possible? I then get pushed to the stage. The crowd looks at me. They can tell that I probably won't win. "And for the ladies we have Annabelle Freeman!" she runs up to the stage. She is one of the sliest people I know. I remember a girl from District 5 who has the strategy Annabelle will probably use. She tries to look strong, but her hands are shaking and that's what she does when she gets scared. She's afraid she'll lose, like many more people. "Our tributes of District Nine!"

District 10

Alonzo Mourning:

The District 10 reapings just began. Frisco Strain is just about to draw the names for District Ten. "First, for the ladies we have Sarah George!" Sarah was eighteen. She was great with hand-to-hand combat. I have seen her in the ranch before, and would go far any year, but this year her ankle was sprained. "I volunteer!" I heard a small girl say. Once I saw her face, I knew it was Amira, Sarah's sister. Sarah was holding their brother now, who was eleven and has tears running down his face. "Wow! A volunteer!" Frisco exclaimed. It was amazing, we haven't had one since the 63rd Hunger Games. "And for the boys we have Alonzo Mourning!" My name echoed in my head as I walked to the stage. Out of the thousands of boys there were, it had to be me. Oh well, I'm in the Games and I'll do whatever it takes to win.

District 11

Rani Cooper:

Ingrid Igloo is babbling on about how great the Hunger Games are. "Oh! When I was a girl, we watched Johanna Mason win, and remember in the 79th Games when there was an avalanche that covered the arena!" Then some kid pulls my ponytail. "Hank!" I shout. He laughs and pretends it wasn't him. She puts her hand in the girl's bowl. Suddenly, she pauses. "Get that creature away from me." She shouts to Mayor Nile. Ingrid gets scared, and loses her balance, making her wig fall off showing her frizzy hair. The mayor swats a mosquito out of the air with his hand. "That was the most disgusting thing I have seen in my life," she says as she adjusts jer wig. Really. It's just a bug. So she draws the name. "Rani Cooper!" As I hear my name, I am stared at by everyone around me. "Come on, I won't bite, only those insects do that." I stand here thinking of how I could win. "Well, we must continue. David Savanna!" A boy, I think his name is Ayaan, volunteers. He will be eighteen on April 3rd and it's March 23rd. He looks very intimidating. I hoped that we would be allied.

District 12

Reese Granger:

Effie Trinket, now in her early seventies, knows how much we hate the Games, so she makes the reapings quick. She was forced to be an escort and to prepare children for their death ever since the second set of Games began. "Lindsay Reef. Oops, there isn't anyone with that name, so we must continue." A Peacekeeper pointed a gun at her. She read the slip trthfully and said, "Aurora Wilde." Aurora's teal eyes started to get red. She was about to cry. "And for the boys, we have Reese Granger." It felt like a punch in the stomach. Mayor Delly Cartwright looked my direction. I walked up, angry that I had to die this way. I remebered Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen. They went through two games and survived both. Maybe I can. Now they are in hiding with their two kids. The Capitol has no mercy.

District 13

Jason Johnson:

Thirteen has had thrity years to rebuild itself and it has done a good job. We have about half of us underground and half of us above. I live with my mother above ground. My dad went on a quest with several other peope assigned by the Capitol to look for a place to start a District 14. I wish he could come home. I feel alone around here, since my mother is always drunk. I saw lots of people around here. Then Christopher Justice came and was his usual crazy self. He was in his forties now. He got the bowl and shook it up like he does every year. Five years ago, he dropped it and all of the reapings were postponed. "So, our first tribute is Lily Axelhurst." She was a thief. She would steal food while people were out of their homes. Very sly. Then Christopher greeted her and started shaking the other bowl. Then he drops it. Just before it hits the ground, Lily catches it. She knew that there would be the same people reaped as before, so why wait? "Thank you, Lily, now the boy is Jason Johnson!" As I walked up there, we gave each other a look and shook hands.

Day 1
Lily Axelhurst: District 13

Jason and I were the first ones to training, due to jet lag. We decided to show all our skills before the Careers came. Jason is going to the snares while I am going to the archery station. I shot five arrows and four were bullseyes. The trainers give me some techniques to use, and I hope they help me live through the next few days. Then I hear the elevator beep. Aurora and Reese form 12 and John from 1 came out. I pretend to act weak and "accidently" stepp in one of Jason's traps. "Where is your district partner?" Remus, the Head Trainer asks John. "Well," John responds with a smirk on his face. "John!" Shimmer shouts as she stepps out of the elevator. "Do not ever push me out again!" Jeez, if she can't handle a push, an arrow in the knee must make her die, literally. Jason untangles me and I head over to the swords section, my weakest weapon. Then, Eva and Malecai come out and then they, with John and Shimmer go to the Gauntlet and almost seemed to dance around it. I drop the sword because of the weight, and Aurora came to help me. Guess I found a new ally.

Benjamin Woodrew: District 6

Lynnie and I are in the elevator. We look out at the Capitol and it is one of the most beautiful places either of us had seen. It would probably be one of the last, too. "Lynnie, should we be allies?" "I'll see if you're what I want once we get to the Training Center." she says. We stepped out. The tributes are going crazy. It was 9:00, a whole hour before training began, and sixteen tributes were already here. John and Shimmer are at the footracing section, Troy from 9 is alone in the edible plants section, and Rani and Altlas are challenging each other to the knife throwing section. Lynnie walks over to Rani and Altlas, and I go over to Bree from 8. She's in the snares section, only becuase it was in the corner of the room. "Hi, Bree" I say. "Hi," she whispers. "I'm trying to stay down because of my brother, you know." She looks worried. "Well, after you go to some training, I bet you won't be so shy." I say. "Well, I guess I should work on being intimidating. After all, I already have a lot of it on my side." we both start to smile. We walk over to the footracing station and Bree and I go against the tributes from Eleven and One. All six lanes are full with five of the fastes tributes, and then me. "On you mark, get set, go!" I come in dead last, but Bree got first! After I pass the finish line, Bree asks, "Allies?" I look over at Lynnie in the middle of a huge crowd of people, conversing with them right and left. She'll be fine. "Allies," I say.

Camilla Averson: District 5

Christian and I are the 24th and 25th people to arrive to the Training Center. Annabelle must be training on her own. We may have been here sooner, but our escort, Danielle insisted we had to "look our best" for training. Remus yells at us for what seemed like hours and then we're free. "Time for lunch!" Atala yells. She is the second-in-command for head trainer, moved down because of her age. Christian sits at a table with Ayaan, Alonzo, Lynnie, and Aria. I sit at a table next to the Career table. I feel something at the back of the head. Then the Careers start to laugh. "It was Eva!" John says gasping for a breath in his giggle fit. "No, it was him!" Eva shouts, also laughing. All five of them. Wait, only five? I saw that girl from Four eating by herself, looking really depressed. I moved to a different table where I could enjoy my lunch.

Reese Granger: District 12

Since there was lots of demand for it from the tributes, there is now a blowgun station, new this year. I am going over to it with Aurora and Troy. I got seven dummies and shot about five in the heart. "So Troy, where's Annabelle?" Aurora asks him. "She says that since our mentor allows it, she can train in the hotel room." "Well, she should go to practice." I say. "I think it's part of her strategy. She wants to stay down." Troy shoots another and it hits the dummy exaclty in the heart.

Malecai Girama: District 2

The five of us are in the knife-throwing station when Camilla comes up to us. "Why's Silver by herself?" she asks. "She wanted to," John responded truthfully. "Even if she did want to, we wouldn't let her in." "Well," Chrspin starts, then Shimmer beats me in smacking him in his face. I speak up. "Well, we all know, she's gonna die, you're gonna die, along with twenty-three others. Live with it." "Well I think this alliance would fail without someone who actually notices the survival stations." Camilla responds. "Let's see." Eva responds. "Get her, Malecai." I throw the knife at her and she dodges it and it hits Remus in the foot. Then he yells and asks who it was. "Camilla," John says quickly. "No! It was Malecai!" "I don't care, and you are both banned from training here for the next few days!" Atala jogs over to him. "We should check the witnesses. There were a few tributes who saw this." I'm trying to act as if Camilla had done it. "Training ends right now!" Remus shouts. "I need to find a doctor. Tax, you can find who threw this knife tomorrow morning when I'm back from the hospital."

Day 2
Amira George: District 10

Alonzo and I are at the camouflage station when Malecai and his crew stand where Remus usually stands and starts to talk. "This is Malecai Gerama, and if you tell Tax, Atala, Remus, or any trainer, you'll be the first one I kill." Camilla runs up there and states, "They may find out you're lying and take you to prison when you're out of the arena." There are lots of oohs and aahs and I see Jason thinking about this intently. Tax steps in and Malecai and Camilla jump off and look at Tax as if they hadn't done anything. "First we'll have Districts One and Three, the rest of you, train for the Games, and Malecai and Camilla, go to your rooms until Atala and I have decided who was guilty." I go upstairs to the outdoor Training Center, a new addition for the second set of Games. There is a crowd of people, about thirty watching us train. John and Eva were on the weightlifting station and were getting several cheers from the audience. Apparently, they had challenged each other. Us three are the only people out here. Now, I am beginning to climb the practice mountain. I go up higher and I see Malecai in his room throwing something at me and trying to make me fall. When I see the District 9 floor, Annabelle was jumping over chairs she was using as hurdles. Jason is at the bottom of the rock and he slips and lets go and falls to the ground from the Distrcit 3 level. I think his leg is broken. One less competitor to worry about.

Matt Coupe: District 3

Shimmer and I are sitting together, while Aria and John are sitting at the other side of the room, so district partners don't create any scheme. Tax comes in. "So," he asks. "Don't argue, just give me you opinion of who threw the knife. John went first. "Camilla." He sounded determined. "Aria?" Tax questioned. "Could I remain neutral?" Aria responds. She was small. It must be hard for her to stand up to a threat like Malecai's. "Yes." He probably knows that she thinks it was Malecai. Shimmer asks to be neutral, which was strange, and I stand up for Camilla and told him that Malecai did it. John and I give each other glances. "John, can you give in detail what happened?" "Yes sir. Shimmer, Eva, Chrspin, Malecai and I were at the archery station." His first sentence and he's already lying. "Then Camilla came over and said, 'Why are you mean to me?' which we weren't. She threw her knife at Remus's foot to prove how powerful she was." "Well, here's the truth." I blurt out. "I was at the trident-throwing station when Camilla started inquiring them about their ways. Then, Eva told Malecai to prove to Camilla that they didn't need survival stations. Malecai threw his knife at her and she ducked, creating a path towards Remus's foot." When Malecai would see me, he would not be happy. Aria is looking at me and hoped I wouldn't have a knife thrown at me, like Remus. "You are dismissed. Districts Four and Six!"

Sebastian Klein: District 8

I am waiting for a lane at the blowgun station to be open. Amira comes in from outside and was soaking wet. Apparetly, the Careers had sprayed her with a high-power hose, which we all heard from inside. Jason is in line and his foot is looking pretty bad. His mentor, Sunny, comes down and took him to his hotel room. It was awkward. Sunny was twelve when she won last year's games, so she is younger than Jason and Lily. When my turn comes, I select a poison, not real of course, and fire a few darts at the target. I miss completely. Why? Because I hear a scream come from the judging room. Troy, Alonzo, and Amira are in there. I can tell it was Alonzo. We all run to see what's happening. Alonzo is unconcious on the ground and Malecai was coming down to "pick up" Eva. Amira and Troy are on his side trying to wake him. "He's still breathing." Amira says to Troy. "I can't believe you knocked him out!" Chrspin yells. Chrspin attacks him, and Amira joins in the fight. Then Eva starts slapping Amira, and Amira bit Eva's hand. Then I join in and I see Bree kicking John in the head. Eva is against Amira and me and she pins both of us to the ground. Some people, like Christian and Aria are afraid of the Careers and fight on their side. Silver attacks Malecai when he is about to grab a weapon from any station he could make it to. I kick Eva in the shin and she yelps. Lily is running upstairs to see Jason and tell him what's happening. Mia is trying to ply people apart. Atala get the microphone on full volume and yells, "Hey!" Immediately, everyone covers their ears. She puts the microphone down and leaves the next few events to Tax. "It is required that we give the tributes twenty-four hours to train. I will only let you train for two hours tomorrow. I would let you not come at all. Now go to your rooms and tomorrow, there better not be any commotion. There are a few people who can stay longer: Camilla Averson, Mia Lillyrun, Annabelle Freeman, Alonzo Mourning, Lily Axelhurst, Jason Johnson. Other than that, two hours. Bree and I slowly trudged to our room and said our goodnights, and once we told Retta our story, she almost fainted. Funny, you don't seem to lose it when you see children die on national television.

​Day 3
Alonzo Mourning: District 10

I was injured yesterday by that monster, Malecai. Now, I have severe headaches and gives me a huge disadvantage in the Games. Aria is crying at the camouflage station, where she painted herself a desert color and blended in with the sand. She fought for the Careers. She was scared, so I forgive her. "Aria," "Yes," she whispers. "Are you okay?" "I don't really know. I'm scared about the Games. I don't want to die." she puts her head in my lap and she cries. "Do you want to be allies?" "Really? Most people wouldn't want me." "I think you're a great fighter and once my headache, I can teach you some more." "Thank you!" She wipes a few tears away from her eyes and and is still breathing heavily. I found a new ally and I feel better already. But I do know that after the Games are over, I won't see Amira or Aria or anyone anymore.

Silver Ganis: District 4

Chrspin helped me yesterday. I feel more and more happy about us. I hope I can tell him about bringing our relationship to a romantic level. I might as well tell him once we get in the Games, since we'll never see each other after them. I try out the Gauntlet for a while to try to eavesdrop on the Careers. "Should we let her in?" John asked the group. "Two to three. Silver won't be a Career." Good. Now which two wanted me. I could break them off the alliance and start a second Career alliance, or something. "We should really let her come in." I hear Chrspin say. Yes! He was one of them, now I just have to find the other one. I waited for a while to see who it could be. I heard Malecai say that he wanted me killed along with "that District 10 boy," and Alonzo already knows. I hop off the Gauntlet and tell Shrspin I was eavesdropping. He told me that the other tribute was Shimmer. We discussed the idea of the alliance, and if Shimmer would let us. Chrspin walked over to her in the Footracing station and asked her. "I'll think about it," she said. She went over to the spears station with Chrspin. We had agreed not to tell the other Careers. As we all walked back, Tax saw us for what would be the last time for twenty-five of us. The six good tributes stayed for the rest of the day and probably were able to practice skills that they didn't want the Careers to see.

Annabelle Freeman: District 9

I am at the axe throwing station when Atala calls us in to eat. This is my first and last day of training at the Training Center. Troy told us about the fight, and I'm glad he did. I could practice things like acting for sponsors, or agility other places, but here, we could practice all of our weapons without our escort, Jasmine, complaining about make-up and such. All of us came to eat. I finally got to try the lamb stew I wanted for ages. We all are telling about funny experiences of our life and which victor's were the best-looking, which Games we liked the most, so on. We all enjoyed this last day here and I guess we can end our lives on a positive note.

Day 1
Ayaan Hlupe: District 11

The clock begins. Rani and I look at each other. Speaking of rainy, it start to rain at the forty-five second mark. I look to see the arena and it a river with several tributaries, and has two ponds, one of which the Cornucopia horn is dipping into. I see John who's next to me, eyeing Camilla and a small javelin, obviously making a plan. Thirty seconds left.

Lynnie Handsows: District 6

There's hardly any time left. Then I see a pack of eighteen knives. I would just sprint over to them and run to any place in the swamp surrounding the two lakes. The sun glints in my eyes as I try to draw attention away from the knives. Ten seconds left.

Chrspin Lanform: District 4

Utter silence strikes the arena. Five. Four. Three Two. One. The gong sounds we're off. Lynnie and Lily both run for a pack of eighteen knives, which Lynnie then grasps and kills Lily with one of them. Silver and I both run the opposite direction of the Cornucopia. At a distance we see Camilla who was stopped doing something, and Silver threw a rock at her and we saw blood, so she probably is dead.

Camilla Averson: District 5

I found a red liquid of some sort and threw it in the air when the girl from Four threw that stone at me. She probably thought I was dead.

Mia Lillyrun: District 7

I'm at the back of the Conucopia. Several people surround me, like Christian, Bree, Reese, Eva and John. Malecai is fending off the front. Then, we all lose balance. The tip of the Cornucopia is breaking off and will sink! I can't swim! I take a breath. We're sunk now. All at the same time, Bree swims to the top. Christian tries to swim up, but John pulls him down and climbs above him. Christian drowns, I think and Eva tries to knock Reese out. Reese swims to the top and runs. I manage to get to the top and Altlas catches my eye. He sees me and jumps in. Malecai also sees us and tries to throw something at us. I don't care what, but it was sharp. Altlas grabs me and pulls me out of the lake. We grab some clothes and run.

Rani Cooper: District 11

I try to run off. I grab a blanket and it rips. Someone caught the other end. That someone was Malecai. I run and he shouts. Eva and John are fending off more people from the Cornucopia and I have no idea where Shimmer is. Malecai grabs an enormous axe and slices my torso. "No!" I scream. Too late. I took my final breath as another slice goes to my head.

Alonzo Mourning: District 10

Aria and I are running off to the swamp. We are being stared at by a raccoon. Aria got one of her two knives she snatched from the Cornucopia and threw it at the coon. We took the raccoon and I grabbed a match that I stole from Troy and found a place where the rain wouldn't set it out. After a while, we should have fresh meat.

Bree Barlow: District 8

Benjamin and I ran as far as we could from the Cornucopia. The rain pours on us. In the middle of the jungle, there is a huge oak tree which doesn't usually belong in a tropical place. I am walking towards All of the sudden, it collapses. "Benjamin! Where are you!" "I'm on the other side." "Oh, thank goodness." I climb over and the tree had missed him by an inch. "Next time," I gasped, "Let's avoid anything unnatural."

Reese Granger: District 12

The Cornucopia battle is almost over. With my camouflage kit, I painted myself as a tree and now, I'm watching the Cornucopia. Eva killed Matt and it's over. Then I thought I saw Aurora. I lean to see, and I forget it was raining. The tree bark is slippery and I am falling. I think I broke my arm. The Careers didn't notice and my knee couldn't kill me. But hypothermia would soon.

Troy Cunner: District 9

It's getting late. I've made a camp on the lake away from the Cornucopia. There were several layers of thickets between the two lakes, so I think I'm fine. The anthem plays and I look to see who died. I heard only five cannnons, which seemed normal since the were either three or four Careers. I drifted asleep when the first person was showed.
