I'm writing another! With some rare photos of the original lists, with some of my original ideas, and more alternate endings! WOOOOO let's gooooo

Original list with the original name ideas. When i wrote this one, I thought that the boy from district 9 was going to be some boy who killed Iris's ally, Rubella from 7, and so iris was gonna kill him, and then come third, killed by kamalyn, who was originally not gonna be called kamalyn, and rift was gonna come second. if that makes any sense.

 if that makes any sense

Kinda updated name list. Not much detail, a bit boring, but here you can see some of the name changes, District 4 going from Katarin to Kamilyn to Kamalyn, and now you can see that this character was based off of me :)

Alternate endings! woooo!

1. Jumped off too soon

The plate rises into the arena and after a few seconds of darkness, there is light again.
First thing I notice is the lack of life. It's a sort of desert around us, all small rocks and sand, and that we're at the top of a hill and the cornucopia is in a valley below us.
Robin is 7 plates to my left, which I make a mental note of before changing my gaze to that of the cornucopia.
Lots of supplies and weapons lie on the ground in front of the mouth, which I would have gone for if I didn't have the minute to get anything I need.
In the mouth is a vest, equipped with knives of all shapes and sizes. If I get to it first, I can probably put it on, slide some more knives in and get backpacks and go.
A loud bang pulls me out of my thoughts. 3 plates to my right, a girl, I think the one from 12, has jumped off early. Maybe she wanted to die, or maybe she was trying to get a head start? I stop for a second. The hill is steep enough that if you jumped when the countdown hit two, you would land when the gong went off. Is that what she was trying to do?
I just hope it works.
The countdown is at ten. Just eight seconds to go.

3
I leap high off the platform, knowing full well that I jumped a second too early, a second that could cost my life. And as my foot hits the mine-ridden ground, I am blown to smithereens. Good luck, Robin.
