I'm gonna start switching P.O.Vs now
*Ashton POV*
I stand in the square Amadrya gripping my leg. Enobaria's doing well, she already has four kills. But she's created a dangerous plan. To betray her allies. Her and the boy from one plan to kill the girl from one. Hawk seems to get along well with Pearl, so if Enobaria kills her, I don't want Hawk going after her. He's much larger than her, he could easily overpower her. I'm not worried about District four girl, she doesn't seem like a threat. She seems to like Enobaria too. The games have been going for three days. There are eleven tributes remaining. One career is already dead. She's gotten some sponsors, and is doing well. I'd do anything to have her back home with me.

*Enobaria POV*
Hawk killed the last District ten tribute yesterday. District six girl also died yesterday. Only ten of us are left. Me and Silk are still planning to kill Pearl. We split up to hunt again, "I'll go with Pearl." I say. Hawk looks somewhat disappointed, but agrees. Me and Pearl walk deep into the woods, and she starts talking. "So, Hawk's kind of hot, right?" "Not really." "So, do you like him?" She asks. She's joking. "No, I have a boyfriend." She looks away, embarrassed. "What about you?" I ask, even though I already know the answer. "No." She chirps back. Wow. She won't even admit she has a boyfriend. "I always thought you didn't like me." I hear Pearl say. A cruel smile plasters on my face as I twirl my knife in between my fingers. "Oh trust me, I don't." I say, smirking before stabbing her in the chest. She falls to the ground, dead. The cannon goes off. To make it look like another tribute, I make a deep cut in my arm. It hurts like hell, but I have to fake it. I run some of the arm blood on my body, and then walk off to meet with the rest of the careers. It's been four days. Fifteen down, eight to go. I finally find the rest of them at the river. "What the hell happened?" Silk shouts, playing along. "Boy from 9. He ambushed us. He killed Pearl but ran off before I could kill him." Hawk looks down, with a mix of sadness and anger on his face. Oh well. At least that bitch is dead. "Come on, let's eat." Vanadey commands. We eat a small dinner of crackers and beef strips, and get tucked into our sleeping bags. I decide to take first watch. After about an hour, I notice Silk is still awake. He sits up and sits next to me. "Tell me everything." He whispers. So I do. I tell him all about how she talked about how hot Hawk was and even said she didn't have a boyfriend. He looks angry. I hear a familiar sound. It's a sponsor gift. I open it immediately to find a small container with some kind of cream inside. Capitol medicine. I apply it on my arm, and it stings at first but feels better soon.

*Third Person POV*
What Enobaria and Silk didn't know, was that Hawk had heard everything they were saying. He was angry. She had killed her. He planned to take his revenge, but they had to be the last two left. Then, he'd kill her, and make her pay for what she'd done.

*Enobaria POV*
The next morning we decide to hunt as a pack. We find the boy from nine, and he's angry. He lunges at Vanadey and shoved her to the ground. "You killed her!" He screams. She looks terrified. He grabs his knife and slits her neck, but before he can finish, Hawk grabs a spear and stabs it into his back. He falls to the ground, motionless, until his cannon goes off. I run over to Vanadey, and the boys continue walking. She grabs my hand, and I grip it tightly, not wanting to let go. Her hands shake as she removes the shell bracelet she's wearing, and slips it on my wrist. Tears blur my vision. She's so young. She doesn't deserve this. Careers aren't supposed to cry, so I blink back my tears. I feel her grip on my hand loosen, and hear a cannon. I kiss her on the cheek, and leave so the hovercraft can collect her body. I hear a scream and another cannon, Silk. Another one follows. Wonder who that was. I don't even care. Then I realize, I'm in the final five, this is where the games really begin.
