LULLIE

I took a deep breath as the tube started drifting upwards. I closed my eyes until the tube stopped moving. I opened my eyes and dropped my jaw. I recognized this place! It's the Capitol! I rubbed my eyes, not believing the sight. I looked a little further around and noticed it wasn't that Capitol that I knew. It was a ruin of the Capitol I knew. Then the tube dissapeared and the counter began. I looked around at the other tributes. I couldn't find Jay anywhere. I was getting kind of nervous. Then a big bang sounded and I saw the other tributes running off their pedistal. I looked confused around. I was completely frozen. I saw someone running towards me. It was a boy. I think it was Effie Trinkets son or something. None of us had a weapon, but I knew he was going to kill me anyways. Then I saw the sign if a ruin of a shop. It read: Medieval and Roman Tortures. Maybe I could find some weapons in there. I runned off my pedistal and sprinted towards the Torture shop, hoping to find some weapons inside. I runned a little more and reached the shop, actually rather quickly. I took a quick look behind, and saw the boy still running after me. I pushed through the door and came into a room filled with medieval weapons and torture machines. I took a quick look around and spotted a simple sword. I could use that. I think. I quickly took it and waited for the boy to come into the store. He came in right after I'd taken the sword. He looked at me. First with a smirk, then he looked frightened. I smirked slightly. "Are you ready to die?" I asked him, knowing he wouldn't get a chance to answer. I swung the sword and it cut him in the stomach. He crumbled and I swung the sword again.

This time it hit him right were I wanted. It cut through his neck and left his body falling on knees, then to the ground. And his head falling down beside his body. I'm pretty sure he's dead. I got dizzy by the pool of blood beneath him. I searched the room for anything useful. I looked behind the counter and saw something I not really had expected to find. It was a bag. A bag! In a medieval and roman tortures shop! I walked behind the counter and kneed beside the bag. It was a leather bag, you could swing around you shoulder. It had pretty much room in it. I opened the bag and saw something tiny and shining inside it. I took the shiny thing and studied it. It was a little silver ring. It had a diamond shaped rock (just a plain rock) on top of it. I studied it closer and discovered a little button on the rings side. I pressed it and the rock transformed to a dart. This ring could be very useful. I pressed the button again and the dart turned back to a rock. I placed the ring on my finger and took the bag. I searched the room further, but couldn't seem to find anything I could take with me. And I knew I couldn't use this as a place to hide. After the bloodbath would the "careers" discover this shop and see it as an opportunity to find more weapons. I couldn't be safe here. I found a dagger and put it down in the bag. I checked the room one last time and looked out of the little shop window. There was no one outside the shop, or anywhere near it. They were all at the bloodbath. I slowly walked out of shop. I froze when I heard something from the cornor of the shop. "Well well well... If it isn't Lullie Zarden." said a cold voice. I took a deep breath. This one wanted to talk. I turned around smiling. I was facing a tall boy with neon green hair and cat eyes. I could live with the hair, but his eyes are just creepy! "And you must be the Augustus Flickerman." I said knowing who he was at the moment I saw him. "Not participating in the bloodbath are we?" he asked and winked at me. I knew how to handle this. "No, I find watching it a lot more... Hm... Entertaining." I said seductivly and moved a little closer to him. Augustus smirked at me. "And why aren't you participating?" I asked him. I smiled innocently. "I'm not in the mood of killing." he said and I nodded understanding. I put my hand on his chest and surprisingly he didn't do anything about it. "Then why don't we watch it together. It's much nicer, than alone. Don't you think?" I said innocently and moved my hand ti his heart. Augustus placed his hand on mine. Not to remove it, but to hold it. I got him where I wanted him. "Agreed." he said and pulled me closer to him. I made my hand a fist under Augustus hand, but Augustus didn't notice. With my pinkie I pressed the button on my ring and the rock transformed to a dart shooting right into Augustus' heart. Augustus fell unconciuss on the ground and I nodded at him. "Like we could ever be a thing." I mumbled sarcastic and started walking away from the crimescene. I turned a cornor when I saw three persons standing in the end if the street. I knew only one of them. It was Julius Flickerman. "Hey Julius!" I called out and Julius turned around. Even though he was Augustus' twin you couldn't really see it. "Em, I accidently killed your brother!" I shouted and first Julius froze then he mumbled something about 'bitch' and began running towards me. He didn't have any weapon, as the rest of the people with him. Julius jumped on me tryied to hit me, tried to twirl my head off. I sat my hand on his back and made my hand a fist. With my pinkie, again I pressed the button and the rock became a dart. And the dart killed Julius. I shook Julius' dead body off me and walked towards the two other people. A boy runned towards me, I think his name was Xavren or something like that. I hold my hand out as a fist. Ready to press the button and kill him.Xavren tried also to jump on me, but I stopped him with my hand. Geez I actually have pretty stong arms. I pushed the button and the dart came amd killed Xavren. He fell to te ground. I walked towards the last one. I could see it was a girl, but I didn't know who she was. She lay on the ground. I think Julius and Xavren tried to kill her. But she wasn't dead. Yet. I put my fist on her heart and pressed the button with my pinkie. She died. I looked up and checked the area I was in. I wasn't right before, when I said they all were at the bloodbath. I runned down the street. I knew one house that I could be safe in. I runned and runned down the same street, until I reached the end. I looked to my left and as I remembered there was a tiny little shortcut. I followed the tiny path until I saw a house. It wasn't big, it was such a house that you forgot to look at because it didn't matter. I used to play hide and seek in this house. I walked into the ruin of the house. I closed the door behind me and looked up. There was a big hole in the roof, but I'll survive. I hope. I realized that my mouth was really dry. I needed to find some water. Now! I runned to the tiny backyard that thehouse had. If I remembered correctly there was a. FOUNTAIN! Their fountain was still in their backyard. And it had water and everything! I put my head down in the little bassin where all the water ended and drunk until I couldn't have anymore. I was going to be fine in this game. After all, it was all a game. Right?
