The 100th Annual Hunger Games

Day 4 Pt. 1

Tripp Markel POV

"You don't have crab butts anymore. We put a vaccination in your head to stop the zombie you and after that when you fell to sleep, we put another vaccination to stop your crab butts." says the lady in front of me.

"Crab butts? Who on earth would come up with a name like that for a disease?"

"Your district partner." says the lady grinning.

"So I was a zombie?" I ask.

"Yes."

"You turned me into a zombie? A vicious flesh eating zombie?"

"Once again yes." she says and I still can't believe I've missed two days of the games and I'll be able to come back along with four others and six reaped.

"Who's still alive?" I ask.

"Too many to say. Here is your tracker." she says and injects the tracker in my arm.

Me, the other dead tributes coming back to life, and the new reaped tributes are all coming together in the hovercraft. I see a tall guy with short brown hair that has tan skin. He has the number 4 on his jacket. Maybe these number tell what districts they're from. There's another tribute I see next to him who looks somewhat the same just a little taller and looks eager to get in. He has the number 1 on his jacket. There is a guy next to him who also has tan skin but lighter than the other two and looks like he just zoned out but still knows what he's about to do in these games, what he's about to go through. He has dirty blond hair. He has the number 11 on his jacket. There is a girl who has pail skin, blue eyes and brown hair. She has the number 5 on her jacket. The girl next to her also has a number 5 on her jacket. She has long red hair with blush in her cheeks. I believe her name is Katherine. She sponsored Andrea because they are best friends. The last person is a tall girl from 11 according to the number on her jacket. She has blackish brown hair. She looks at me with a face of no fear.

Next to me is Wright. He was blown up by Emily and probably wants to kill her once he's in there. He was given a robotic torso. He will never need to eat. Literally. He will never starve. Ever. But he can still live. Next to him is Claire. Then Henry. Then Summer. Then the hovercraft lands. We're here. The new tributes leave first. Then us in order of District.

I walk into the room under the arena where I will be lifted up into the arena. I walk in to see my stylist, Barbra. She sucks.

"Hello Tripper! Now because the arena is still flooded, the pedestals were rises higher so you won't drown. And because the cornucopia was looted completely, you get to start out the games with a weapon and a starters pack. Now choose." Barbra says and points to an endless amount of weapons.

I see tridents, spears, bows with a quiver that holds twelve arrows, daggers, throwing knives, swords, ropes, stars, sickles, scythes, bricks, axes, poison, explosives, and more.

I pick up an axe and move onto the starters packs. One is blue, one is green, white, black, neon, witch is a no, and other colors. I reside to take a black one. It seemed ok. I'm not aloud to look what's in them before I go. So I'm just hoping.

"10 seconds!" says the lady on the intercom. I walk slowly to the cylinder and it wraps around me and I jump as the pedestal begins to go up.

Dylan Waters POV

Where's Kelly? I think to myself as we reach the surface.

The other tributes and revived are on the platforms not knowing what to do. And then-

"Let the reaped and revived begin in 3-2-1!" says the game maker on the intercom echoing in the arena.

I leap from my pedestal and swim to a roof. I have a sickle and a dark blue starters pack. I look around to see if I can see her. But I don't. All I see is the monument falling my way, caused by a big wave. The big stone tower coming my way could have killed me if it weren't for my love, Kelly, pushing me out of the way. The monument falls, crushing the building I was on.

"Kelly!" I yell in happiness as she's hugging me, not letting go.

"Frances is after me." She says. " I killed her tribute partner and now she wants to avenge his death." She cries.

"About that, he's alive." I say.

"What?" She asks.

"Look." I point at him running at Frances, probably telling her the good news of him being back. She smiles and hugs him. She looks at us and loads an arrow and aims at Kelly. She shoots. I then block the arrow with the blade of my sickle.

"Go! Run!" I yell at Kelly trying to protect her. I kiss her and she goes. She runs the direction opposite of me. Then I face Frances and Henry.

Frances Powell POV

I ready my bow. This Dylan deserves to die. It's not Kelly but it's close enough. Now let's see how she feels when someone she cares about is taken from her.

I load another arrow. He readies his sickle. And then we just stare off for about thirty seconds.

BOOM!

I look in the direction the cannon came from and see Wright just killed Emily. Revenge is sweet. I turn back to Dylan to see that he's gone. He ran the direction Kelly went. I see him running still. I aim the arrow and shoot. The arrow whizzes at his head but misses by a few inches. I scream in anger but Henry stops me by grabbing my arm. He looks at me with a face that I can't describe in a word but that he looks like he doesn't even know me anymore. I've changed. I now see that I've been doing bad things ever sense Kelly killed Henry, ever sense these games started, ever sense I punched that peacekeeper. I've changed.
