Hunger Games Fanfics

Chapter 4 - Survive

The two ladies turned away from each other, annoyed. I giggled. How could such crazy people be organising a rebellion?

"A rebellion, huh?" I mused, "You guys want to change the way things are?"

Scarlett motioned for the other two to stand down.

"Yes," the red woman answered, "Everything has gone on long enough. However, we still need more time. Two more years and we can strike. We just need to wait for the other boys."

"Boys?" I asked.

Scarlett nodded, "We are all different flames, but we are missing most of the male ones."

I glanced around the room once more. This time I noticed a young boy hiding behind the yellow throne. He must be the yellow flame- except- the male yellow flame.

"There are two more in this years Games," the Lilac flame added, "And, we want you to go get them."

As the ten tributes rise into the arena, a broadcasted voice announces, "Welcome to yet another Celebrity Hunger Games! This year is of course, one of the most entertaining in history. Watch closely, and enjoy yourself! Tributes: you may begin!"

Sami's p.o.v

I turned and sprinted off, sliding my spear into a holder I placed on my back. My tactic was to lie low unless one of the weaker tributes casually stroll past. Not that they would stroll casually in a death arena. I just prayed the luck would be on my side.

Makay wished to save me. I hope she doesn't try anything stupid. Assisting a tribute's escape is punishable by death.

Leaping onto the jungle of trees and plants, I surveyed the foliage. There had been reports of aprevious tribute dying from the creatures housed in the arena. I was not taking any chances with animals.

Drawing my spear, I slowed and silenced my breathing, listening for any disturbances. None. I progressed through the undergrowth and found a hollow area, well sheltered from view. 

This was a good place to hide out for now. I just hope no-one will discover me here.

Jay's p.o.v

I sat down where I had stood, recieving weird looks from those who had yet to run. My plan was to 'die' first as I would not actually die and would get my ticket out of the arena.

As soon as I was out of here, I could re-unite with Jax and resume the search for Skye. She's been missing for a while now and it was worrying.

I looked around me. Huh. No-one? Wow, wanting to be killed is harder than it seems. The other tributes began to wander off and I sighed.

"Do you have a death wish?" a voice whispered.

I stared around. No-one was in sight.

"Yes," I answered cautiously.

"Well, then," the voice whispered, "Don't hate me for this."

I felt a sharp edge pierce my torso and I screamed in agony. The pain seared through me, burning my lungs. It hurt. It hurt. It hurt.

My voice began to fade and my heart beat echoed in my head. The sharp point tore further into me and I fould feel it twisting. I screamed louder. My voicebox canceled out and all I could do was squeak in pain.

The sharp edge was pulled from me and I could feel blood oozing everywhere. I saw red. Everything was stained a horrible blood red.

I didn't want this anymore.
