The Second Annual Writer Games!

Task Five- The Dead Come Out To Play

The voting in The Capitol came to a close, and four of the tributes get their elixer. They each float down to them, each of them taking the elixer, counteracting the venom inside of them. Unfortunately there was unlucky tribute who did not recieve it. And due to that. a cannon fires, signaling that tribute's death.

Night rolls around and the faces of the deceased appear: Canvas Azure appears first, the girl who was capable of getting into the career pack. The boy who followed was her district partner, Casimir Elmwood; the blind boy from District Eight. The final face that follows is the brave boy from District Nine, Elijah Chase. The anthem plays and the sky goes dark once again. The tributes begin to take watch and get the little rest that they can. preparing for what has in stake for them the following day. And sure enough, Draco Thorne has something in store for them after all.

The venomous, purple petals fall from the flowers as the sun rises up high in the sky. The meadow is littered with several different colors; the crimson red petals, the tribute's blood stained across the grass, the beautiful, cloudy white petals, the venomous purple petals, and alas some snake skin that has joined these beautiful colors. And alas, the new beautiful colors grow upon the flowrs; an odd, sickly yellow. It isn't quite appealing, but for some reason, it's mesmorizing.

As these new yellow petals set in, something happens in the cemetery part of the arena. The tombstones with the listed tributes have the dirt moving around. And before you know it, you see all of the deceased tributes return from the dead just like that; Andras Moon, Achilles Jupiter, Rhydian Hawke, Lily Flowers, Leo Quake, Canvas Azure, Casimir Elmwood, Elijah Chase, Emilia Noble. Oliver Quinn, Maisie Andrews, and Lark Vesta.

These tributes looked brand new. No cuts or bruises are placed on their skin. Some of the tributes hate that the competition has returned, but others are relieved to see their dead friends return for a second chance. All of the remaining tributes are astonished, but yet, there is something different about each of them; They all have sickly, yellow eyes. And at that moment, you realize they are puppets of The Capitol.

These dead tributes are here to kill you. They still have all of the memories and tactics that they used to, and they are willing to use it against you. Hoever, they do have a flaw. They might have returned from the dead, you can always kill these deceased corpses again. These tributes have no control of what they are doing and The Capitol has full control of them.

Four tributes are to die in this task. Either by living tributes, or the deceased; it does not matter, just make it interesting. Six tributes will go up for votes, allowing two to survive and four being eliminated from the games.

SPONSORED TRIBUTES: Sorry, but there is no perk in this task. Fair game this time around.

However, everyone does have a chance to prove themselves. Each tribute could get immunity by one of the sponsors. You see, after the entries, each sponsor will inbox me on whos entry they liked best (this is soley based on writing capability, not on which they like the tribute or not). If you are one of the three tributes who are chosen, you will be safe from elimination. It is three instead of four because dear Emerald Clio is away on some business. If you got killed the most but you were chosen by a sponsor, you do not have to go on the chopping block and the next highest amount will be on the chopping block.

Task is due on TUESDAY, JUNE 24th at 11:59 p.m. I know this task may seem confusing so if you have any questions, please ask!
