How Rubella died 1st person POV

Am I sad that Thenet is dead? No. No, I don't think I am. He was never the nicest  person around me, that's for sure. But if he did teach me anything, it was that if you go after someone with allies, their allies will kill you. I'm actually pretty grateful that the careers are in the woods near me, it makes foraging a lot easier. If you count stealing as foraging, of course.  
My attention flickers away from my thoughts and into the present. Someone's up ahead, but I don't think they've seen me. Not yet, anyway. I climb up the nearest tree and sit still on a branch 4 metres up. Hm. It's that girl from 4, and she's looking for birds' nests I think. Well, I'm going to leave her and exit the vicinity before she spots me.
Can I really win these games? No, probably not, but maybe. There's a small chance that I will, but not a very big chance. 
I trip on a wire stretched out between two trees, and land sprawled on the floor. What the heck? My eyes are fixed on the sky above, and in the canopy a net filled with rocks has split open. The first one lands on my knee, probably breaking it and trapping me exactly where I am. The second lands on my arm, with a sickening crunch and pain jolts through my body. Then I notice the largest one, aiming straight for my head.
"Goodb-" I begin to yell, until it lands and everything turns black.

Nikki's death first person POV

Do I trust Iris? I guess yes,  but probably not. she was going to kill me, like she killed Thenet. And now I'm lying in a tree, tied to her, and any second she could push me off. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm asleep, but how could I be? trust isn't really something that's going to keep me alive.
Thenet once said that 'You can't be the second to turn on your allies, because the second one is the dead one.' 
Loud, laughing voices ring out through the night, pulling me from my thoughts. The careers! Iris obviously hears them too, because she's cut the rope and climbing higher with both our packs. The bloody traitor! But maybe if I lie still they won't notice me?
"Hey! I see someone! Asleep in that tree!"
I'm going to die.
I feel a tug on the rope dangling below me, and I fall through the sky until I land with a thump on the ground, which knocks all the air out of me. 
All 5 of them are looming over me, laughing. I stare up at the tree, frantically trying to signal with my eyes that Iris is above me. They don't notice, and I squirm a little, trying to free my thumb so that I feel the little ring on my finger for the last time.
"You okay little girl?" The boy from 1 laughs, his cleaver raised above my head.
"Please, don't kill me!" I whimper. It worked on Iris, so why won't it work on them?
Because they're maniacs.
"There can only be one victor," says the boy from District 2.
An idea pops into my brain. I wasn't the first one to turn on my group, but what says I can't be the second?
"And it won't be you," Finishes the girl from one, at the same time that I scream,
"Iris! Help!"
Just as he is about to bring the cleaver down on my head, the girl from 4 steps forward.
"What did she just say?"
I scream again. "Iris!"
"Iris... the scum from nine." the girl from 4 ponders.
"The one who killed Beatrix," The boy from 2 confirms.
Satisfaction seeps into my blood as Iris turns to stare down at me.
"The one who got a ten in training, whacked an axe into my leg at the bloodbath and killed Beatrix," snarls one.

"You can kill her now," hisses Kamalyn.
My heart beats harder and I screw my eyes shut, thumbing my ring and hoping for it to be quick.
Then in a sharp burst of pain, I feel my skull being sliced open and my life disappearing.

Right well um I guess this is all the 1st personing that I want to do so far, I might shove a couple more of these in when I can be bothered. Or maybe not, idk. So tell me if you enjoyed this info chapter or not, if you did I'll do some more XD
