Wren Williams – Canada
DID NOT HAND IN.

Emily Andersen – United States Of America
I'm being completely serious when I say I don't fucking like water. Every since the accident, I don't go near it, which is hard living in Florida. Sand is alright. It is just the water I cannot stand. But there is a difference between swimming and drinking.
Pip coughs in his sleep, his voice rough and dry. "We need water." Alek says suddenly, looking down at the sleeping figure of Clarissa
"I see you went an ate a big old bowl of fucking obvious this morning." I snapped, toying with the burning sand in my hands.
Alek snorts. "Neyt. I did not eat anything this morning." He gave a wicked grin as I rolled my eyes, trying not to smile.
I attempt to make a snappy comeback, but my throat is as rough as sandpaper. "We have air-conditioning in the Gamemaker studio." Helly had told us minutes ago, wrapping herself even tighter in her fur coat.
Something glimmers from behind Alek, and I scramble up, darting towards the water. "I'm running to the thing I hate. Gotta love the Hunger Games."
I keep running, knowing that Alek and the others are still in sight behind me. "Alek, look! Pip! Clarissa! I found it! I fucking did it!" I spun around, but the desert was empty, just a sandy wasteland. "Pip? Alek?" I whispered, looking around. Then I noticed it.
The fucking water was gone. "Watch out for the cacti. They have poison sting." Helly told me before darting out of the sky.
I was fucking alone. That much I knew. "Aw, is the little baby, alone?" I spun around to address the person who had spoke. I clutched my sword at I looked up to her.
"Hey Sasquatch, how is the view from up there?" Celine, the one from France was nearly six feet in the air, towering over me by more than a foot.
The girl snarled, and that was when a noticed the girl standing behind her. "Great, so now I have Sasquatch and the ginger. Fan-fucking-tastic."
Wren takes a step forwards, smiling madly as she lifted her hockey stick, preparing to bring it down on my skull. "Hell no, girlfriend." I snapped, mentally cursing myself. My usual catchphrase has everyone in the Arena confused. No one understood.
I reached for my sword, hoping the pink stones could comfort. When I reached into my pocket, all I felt was my token. The sword was gone. I screamed in frustration, knowing my attackers were clueless.
"It's okay, you can attack. Just having a little bit of a breakdown here."
Wren swung her hockey stick, but I dodged the blow at the last second. I rolled around in the sand, tackling Sasquatch's legs. She didn't fall to the ground, but her dart gun flew out of her hand. She kicked me hard in the face. "That's going to leave a mark." I snapped, pushing myself away from her.
My hands groped the group, trying to find her gun. My hand grabbed at something hard, and I held it up to them. "You're all gonna die!" I told them, trying to keep my hands from trembling. Sasquatch
snarled, taking a step forward.
With a pop, a dart slid out of the gun, planting itself snuggly in Celine's neck. She looked up at me, her eyes widening in shock before she tumbled to the ground. "I just met her. I don't know her. Please. I'll just leave. Please." Wren begged, but I shook my head.
