Hermione's POV

We were all horrified; how dare they drug us and put us in an arena to fight to the death? I'm not a fighter, but the survival stations could come in handy. I need an alliance to survive. Yes, that could work. Brilliant idea Hermione. I eyed the crowd, trying to find some smart people. My eyes fell on none other than Sheldon Cooper. I strolled up to him, a smile clear on my face.

'Would you like to forge an alliance between us for when we are in the arena?' I asked him, making it sound formal.

'Alliances are the only way to go about this sort of thing, I mean, look at World War One,' he began as I joined in. This alliance will work greatly to our advantage.

Edward's POV

I pushed Bella behind me. No one can touch her other than me. She was mine. I am hers. No one can take her away from me. I growled, taking precautions. A person walked up to us with a syringe in her hand.

'Leave her alone,' I snarled. She tsked at me.

'Now Mr Cullen, she is just another contestant in the games,' she said. 'She might die, she might not. Now calm down.' she added briskly.

'Leave her alone,' I repeated, my voice going stiff. Bella screamed and I turned around as fast as I could. A person in a white lab coat was holding her, covering her mouth. No one touched her other than me. Just as I took a step forward, a felt something sharp in my arm and I looked down. The syringe was there. The last sight I caught was Bella struggling against the person in the white lab coat.

Peeta's POV

I rubbed my jaw as Katniss and I walked over to work at the bow and arrow station. We usually wouldn't show off her talents this early, however the contestants were weak. And she wanted to teach me everything she knew. I rubbed my jaw again.

'Don't be such a baby,' she said, letting the arrow fly straight into the centre of the target.

'Bullseye,' I said.

'And I'm not; that kid could pack a mean punch. He could be a threat,' I warned. 'We might need some other allies.'

'Physical strength doesn't matter that much; survival skills are more important. I wonder who will try to make up the career pack this year?' she asked out loud. I shrugged; she thought this would be a piece of cake. But I think we really need allies.

Cher's POV

I walked over to Harry and Louis who stood their, stunned. Louis was crying silently. I put my arms around both of them, trying to comfort them.

'Want to be allies?' I asked. Louis nodded and Harry looked confused.

'Allies?'

You know, an alliance between us. We become a team so we won't harm each other; we'll survive better this way,' I explained. 'We should get some more allies though; three won't be enough.' Louis nodded again. Was he actually listening.

'Louis?' I asked him. He nodded again. 'Louis, what is the square root of pi?' He just nodded again. I think he has gone into shock. Harry slapped him, breaking him out of it.

'What was that for?' he asked Harry angrily.

'Snapping out of whatever you were in; don't worry, you'll see Eleanor again,' Harry said soothingly. Louis sighed.

'I'm going to find us some more allies,' I said, walking into the middle of the room and surveying it, trying to look for anyone good. I headed towards the boys in Team Tonight; Mitchel and Christian.

'Hey boys,' I said flirtatiously.

'Hey Cher,' Christian said, flipping his hair.

'Would you boys do me a favour?' I asked them, biting my lip. Mitchel was just opening his mouth when Christian interrupted him.

'Anything.' he replied.

'Could you be allies with Harry, Louis and I?' I asked them, twirling my finger around my hair. Christian nodded enthusiastically. 'Could you also ask the boys from the Collective and Team Australia?' I asked them. He nodded again, his hair swishing everywhere. How he could see I'll never know.

Selena's POV

Everyone was getting allies earlier than I thought. I walked up to Justin and he nodded, sensing my question. I sighed and leaned into his shoulder.

'I love you,' I mumbled. He repeated the words, kissing me lightly on the forehead. 'Can I ask if Taylor wants to join us?' I asked. He nodded, pulling away.

'I'm going to learn how to throw a knife,' he said, heading off towards the knife throwing station. I went off in an other direction, towards the edible plants station where Taylor sat lonely.

'Hey Taylor, want to join me and Justin?' I asked.

'Why wouldn't I?' she laughed. 'Of course I would love to. This is so freaking scray; look at Team Ten, also known as Team Victors, over there,' she whispered, her face losing her charm and her voice dropping. 'I heard they have been in something similar and look, they have both lived. Twice.' I nodded. We have no chance.

Dimitri's POV

Rose and I went past the spear station, making us laugh. At least we knew how to stake someone strong and fast, something these clowns aren't. I don't like killing the innocent, but if it meant keeping Rose alive, then I would do anything. They don't know what will hit them. We went towards the knot tying station. We were allies, we didn't even need to say anything. I looked up, noticing Cher Lloyd talking to three different boys. Shit; a group of four. That will be hard to take out, even with our skill advantage. Another bunch of boys joined them, another five. Shit. A group of nine. Rose and I started looking at potential allies.

'Well, Cher, Jayden, Trent, Christian, Mitchel, Reece, Cody, Harry and Louis are together obviously; they will be hard to take out,' Rose said, echoing my earlier thoughts.

'Peeta and Katniss are together; it is rumoured that they have survived something similar twice already. Hermione and Sheldon are together in this.' I stopped talking, looking at Rose who was laughing. 'What is so funny dear?' I asked her.

'The only reason they survived twice is that they never came up against us two,' she said, chuckling.

'Justin, Selena and Taylor are together. Bella and Edward are together. Once we get her, and she will be easy to get to, he'll beg for death. Suicide is pretty easy in the arena. Everyone else is by themselves.'

'Bring them on,' she said, clenching her fists together.
