Writer Games: Pending Secrets

Task Two - The Water Runs Red - The Fallen

Almost an hour has passed since the initial start of the games, and the remaining sixteen tributes are left to all but wonder what on earth happened. It's a surprise to most that some had lashed out and gone on a killing spree, killing whoever got in their path. Most were lucky, but a select eight didn't have such favorable fates.

                    Juniper Fall
The pedestal rose too quickly in his taste, and it didn't take that long before the stress got to him. As soon as the rising pedestal broke the surface, he freaked. There were too many tributes, too many horrors in his world, and too much water. He jumped into the water early, hoping for a completely different death of drowning than what was to come of him. Something shot up from the ground and smashed right into Juniper, exploding and sending him to kingdom come.

          Georgina West
Georgina was calm until the kid near her hopped in and seemingly blew up. As the countdown started, she held her stance, and as it neared an end, she dove in. Targeting Charity, she swam slowly towards her, but as she came closer, she was grabbed from behind, and before she could find out who her killer was, he neck was snapped. So much for winning.

                    Alecks Glint
Alecks was determined to win, so he killed Georgina. She was the first he could get his hands on, and also his last. As soon as he noticed that some of the windows of the building were shattered, he swam down as far as he could, only to find that all of the windows down that far were all intact. He drowned while trying to go up for air.

          Chloe Bishop
After managing to get into the top floor of the building, Chloe made a dash to the stash of weapons and grabbed some knives lying across the floor. As she glances up, she's startled to find a knife wielded by Caesar heading straight towards her face.

                    Chris Davies
Chris could only watch in surprise as Caesar thrusts the knife into Chloe's forehead. He tried not to make any noise as he tiptoed away, but it was no use as Caesar turned to him and ran after him. Chris ran as fast as his feet could carry him until he came across a dead end. That corner in the building was where he made his last breath, and now his own blood stains the carpet.

          Grady Hudson
In the flurry of waves, Grady lost his brother and he struggled to stay afloat. He yelled as loud as he could, but it only came out as a startlingly loud gurgle as he was sucked under by a large wave. He took in a large gulp of water. With that, Grady was dead.

                     Charity Lighting
Charity wasn't used to the water, so as soon as the pedestal started its descent back into the water, she flailed around, bringing herself attention. She managed to reach the building, and tried to haul herself up to the top, but she lacked the upper body-strength, and she fell back into the water. Not realizng she could have swam through the open window to get air, she waited there, until  Logan crawled out of the window, and thinking she was a threat, slashed at her throat. The water around her reddened and Logan swam away, knowing that he just killed the 'Capitol Girl'. Having had warred against the Capitol for the past few years, it was a good thing.

          Noah Masons
Noah had noticed Grady drowning and had tried to save him, swiming down to grab Grady's body, for unlike some of the tributes, Noah had a good heart. He swam back up, hauling Grady's body along with. Logan noticed Noah holding the limp Grady out of the corner of his eyes and thought Noah had killed him. Just like that, Logan had swam over to the teen and thrust the knife into his heart. At least it was quick.
