As Priscilla walked towards the school her friends asked her about her cheek, Festus kept giving her worried looks

"biking accident, I'm fine Festus" The girl said, Just as she saw Coriolanus walk in Festus asked him about all the scratches on his face

"Biking accident" Coriolanus said as he stared at the girl, The girl sighed as she knew people would get suspicious now,

"Wakey, wakey my capital friends, I'm Lucky Flickermen and welcome to day number two, now while most of you were getting your beauty sleep last night, something had occurred" The cameras then showed the body of bobbin Priscilla gasped at the slight, has Coriolanus really done that "Bobbin from district eight slaughtered. Which of these beasts killed bobbin from district eight?"

"Something's wrong, I mean what's he doing over there, how did Bobbin end up dead, There's foul play" Lysistra spoke to Priscilla, She nodded at the girl before leaning her head over her shoulder and making her way to her seat, The doors then opened they all turned to look at who it was

Strabo Plinth, Sejanus right by his side with a stern expression

"What happened to you Sejanus?" Festus asked as Lucky approached both plinths

"I fell off my bike" Sejanus raped, Priscilla winded slightly as Festus looked over to her, Three bike accidents in the same 12 hour time. Seem more than coincidental

"Ouch. well, I guess you have some pretty big news to share with us!" Lucky said with an encouraging nod, But Sejanus couldn't stop staring at Priscilla and her cut

"Yes" He finally spoke not looking away from the girl " we, the Plinth family would like to announce that we will be giving a prize for a full ride to the university to the mentor whose tribute wins the hunger games"

Pup let out a whoop, other mentors grinned at one another, though they knew most didn't need them as they had so much money

"Sensational!" Lucky spoke "What a thrill those 11 remaining mentors must be experiencing right now. Was this your idea Strabo? To crest the Plinth Prize?"

"My son's actually" Strabo spoke with a grin

"Well what a generous and appropriate gesture, especially given Sejanus's lost. I think i speak for the capital when i say many thanks!" Lucky beamed "All right back to the games! 11 tributes remain. Treech still at the top of the board"

An hour went passed, no appearances, But then suddenly Lucy Gray appeared darting out of a tunnel

"Where's Jessup?" Priscilla heard Lysistrata ask

But that was answered as Jessup fled out the same tunnel from Lucy Gray, Priscilla first thought he was wounded maybe from defending Lucy Gray The camera then moved to Jessup he was ill not hurt

Lucy Gray ran as Jessup followed, Priscilla turned to look at Coriolanus seeing he stood up as well as Lysistrata Priscilla then saw foam bubble over his lips He had rabies

"What did you do to me?!" Jessup asked as he chased Lucy Gray

"I didn't do anything! Please Jessup!" Lucy Gray begged, Priscilla then saw a drone flying hitting Jessup with the water, He screamed as he fell

The sound of snapping bones as Jessup laid on his back, Motionless.

"Jessup?" Lucy Gray muttered as she ran down to knell next to Jessup

"I'm not going anywhere okay? You watched over me, now i'm watching over you. Sleep now" She whispered, then closed his eyes. They then heard the buzz go off, Priscilla watched as Lysistrata walked away giving her best friend a smile

They then heard movement come from above her, The pack. Lucy Gray stood up, The pack surround her

"Lucy Gray" Tanner teased, Lucy Gray then tried running but then Treech covered the only space pointing his axe at her

"You stay right there" He spoke, He then saw Lamina watching them, Tanner threw a hit at her making her fall,

Priscilla and Festus both turned at Coriolanus as they watched him sending water, Lucy Gray threw a rock at Treech, Coral then rose her Trident before a bunch over drones with waters came charging after them they all fell, As one came to Treech he hit it towards Lucy Gray, He took this chance grabbing a bottle of water and running

"Go treech" Priscilla whispered, Treech then ran over to the beam Lamina them climbed, Treech took her hand and they ran into a tunnel, Priscilla then smiled.

"You idiots, how could you let her run away" Coral spoke then saw Treech was gone, "Where'd Lumberjack go?" She asked

"He was probably tired of you bossing him around" Tanner remarked, Priscilla couldn't hear them argue, but she then saw Coral stab Tanner with her trident, He fell down dead, She then helped Mizzen walk as he seemed to have an injured leg

As there was no movement they decided to make a rundown on who are the remaining tributes and mentors. A split screen showed photos of the parings side by side. Some mentors groaned when they realized their unflattering student ID phots had been downloaded, The tributes who had no official photographs, showed up in random shots, taken since the reaping.

The list went chronologically by distance, starting with district three. Urban-Teslee and Io-Cric pairing "Our tech district tributes have us all wondering what did they do with those drones?" Lucky said. Festus and Coral appeared followed by Persephone and Mizzen "The district 4 tributes are sailing high as we enter the nine!"

Lamina on her beam and pup's photo brought a cheer from pup, then next the picture of Treech juggling at the zoo and probably the best student ID photo Priscilla, Priscilla hated that day as it was the day her mother wasted so much money on her hair and makeup for the pictures "Crowd favorite Lamina and Pliny Harrington and the most popular award to Treech and his mentor Priscilla Breen, I say more as forbidden lovers as we look at this picture over here" Lucky said, What Priscilla didn't know was the Capital screamed loving what they saw, A picture of Treech and Priscilla at the interview, Treech looking at her with loving eyes as she spoke

"Now to the solo tributes!" Lucky said, a blurry picture of Wolvey crouched down at the zoo, coupled with Hilarius with a bad acne outbreak "Wovey from eight with Hilarious Heavensbee as a guide!" Then Reaper, standing strong in the arena, matched with a flawless-looking Clemensia "Here's a tribute you might want to rethink! Reaper from eleven!"

Finally Coriolanus saw his own photo — not great, but not bad. with a dazzling photo of Lucy Gray singing at the interview "And the second most popular goes to Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray from twelve" second? Coriolanus was filled with anger. he hated second, He needed to make sure Treech is dead, Not only is he taking Priscilla away from him, but he was also taking away his spotlight, Oh now much Coriolanus hated that district scum.
