:P
-------------------------------------------------------

Ashton's P.O.V.

I carried the bucket of water inside the house, trying not to splash it out as this was the only hot water we had and today was the Reaping so we had to look nice.

Which made no sense to me, why should we dress up ourselves on such an ugly day?

I shook my head and set the bucket on the table.

My little sister Lauren was crying in my mother's arms. It was her first Reaping today, and she was petrified her name would be called.

I wasn't, however, as her name had only been entered once, whereas mine had been in there seventeen times.

Call me selfish, but I was only worrying about my own ass (and what a fine, fine ass that is).

My younger brother, Harry, wasn't old enough to have his name in the Reaping just yet, so he was safe, along with my parents.

"It's going to be okay Lauren." My mom soothed. "There's lots of names in that bowl, there's no way they will pick you."

"Yeah, at least you don't have your name in there seventeen times." I grumbled, stomping up to my room to get changed.

"Ashton." My mom sighed. We had been arguing about this for a while. I wanted to just run away, but she wanted us to stay.

I swear though, if they call my name, I'm running.

I looked at the outfit my mom had chosen for me. Black pants, white shirt, black bandana. Really simple.

I sulked as I got changed. "Fuck this, fuck that, fuck everything. Fuck my life. Fuck the Capitol. Fuck that window."

I stomped downstairs. "Fuck these stairs."

"Ashton!" My mom snapped. "Don't swear."

"Sorry." I rolled my eyes. "Screw these stairs."

Lauren giggled slightly and I smiled.

"Time to go." My dad come in, holding Harry on his shoulders.

I took Lauren's hand and followed him out.

We joined the rest of District Twelve as we walked to the Reaping.

We stood in line as the Peacekeepers pricked our fingers, then stood in groups in front of a giant stage.

A gayly dressed man in purple came out, smiling cheerfully. "Hello District 12! You all know me, Simon from the Capitol."

No body acknowledged him and he quickly walked over to the large bowl of names. "As always, ladies first."

He dug his hand in and I quickly looked over at Lauren. She caught my gaze and I saw she was trembling.

I gave her a reassuring smile, which she weakly returned.

Simon picked a card and walked back to the microphone.

"And our girl tribute is.....Lauren Irwin."

She froze.

"What?!" I cried out, throwing my hands in the air.

When Lauren didn't move, Peacekeepers came and escorted her to the stage.

My heart pounded. She was too young! I couldn't let her go in the arena alone!

"Oh for fucks sake." I muttered, pushing my way to the front. I couldn't believe I was doing this but, "I volunteer! I volunteer as the male tribute!"

Simon stopped digging in the males bowl of names. "Well then! How brave. Come up here young man!"

I slowly started walking to the stage. I looked over at my parents and Harry.

Harry gave me a small wave, which I returned. He didn't know he would never see me again.

I climbed up onto the stage and stood beside my sister.

"What inspired this heroic decision?" Simon asked, smiling brightly at me.

"Shes my sister. I have to protect her." I said numbly.

"Ashton you idiot!" Lauren cried. "You know only one of us can return! I'm not gunna let you die!"

"You're welcome." I said dryly.

"How touching!" Simon dabbed his make up covered eyes. "Well lets get this show on the road! Literally, scoot!" He ushered us off the stage and into a small room.

"What are mom and dad gunna say?" She panicked.

I hugged her tightly. "Probably something really cool like, "Oh Lauren! I can't wait to see you kick ass on live TV! Woo, you go girl mhm!"" I snapped my fingers and put my hand on my hip.

She giggled slightly and pulled away. "One can only hope. I love that you're so gay."

The door opened then and our parents rushed in, Harry right behind them.

"Not my babies!" My mom cried, hugging us both tightly. "If you need me, I'll break my way into that arena and save your little asses, okay? Just call my name and I'll be there."

My dad pulled her off. "Im not paying for parking!"

Harry walked up and wrapped his arms around my legs. "I woul' pay foh pahking foh you." He said, mumbling into my thigh.

I hugged him tightly. "I would pay for parking for you too buddy." He hugged Lauren too, just as the Peacekeepers came and escorted them back out.

We were led to a train that would bring us to the Capitol.

We waved goodbye to our family and the rest of our District, as the train started and finally pulled us out of view.

-

Luke's P.O.V.

"And the female tribute for District 1 is...Blair Rivers!"

I smirked. Blair was a total bitch. I couldn't wait for her to die.

"And the male tribute is..."

I watched as Blair smilied and posed for the cameras.

I rolled my eyes as someone pushed me. I whipped around and glared at them. "Um excuse you, who gave you the right?"

"Your name was called." The boy stuttered. He pointed to the screen, where the camera had zoomed in on me.

"Oh, thanks mate." I quickly made my way to the front.

I stood three feet away from Blair, as I hated her guts and didn't want to breathe the same air as her.

"And those are our two District 1 tributes!" The crowd cheered.

Blair flipped her hair as we were escorted off the stage. "I can't wait to kill you."

"Don't be stupid." I rolled my eyes as I waved. "We team up until its just me and you, then I go for the throat."

"And I go for the dick." She smirked and I gasped and glared.

"You're not allowed there!"

We said quick good byes to our families and then stepped onto the train.

She split her dark blonde hair into two braids and smiled for the audience. "They love me more."

I bumped her out of the way with my hip and fixed my hair in the window. "Nuh uh, they hate you. You know who else hates you?"

"Who?" She rolled her eyes.

"Jesus."

She stomped away.

I could not wait to cut a bitch.

-

Michael's P.O.V.

I was sad.

They had just called the female tribute for our district, District 2, and it was Michelle. She has classes with me and was so nice.

I really felt bad.

If I wasn't gay and she wasnt a tribute, I would totally bang her.

"And for the men..."

Everyone quieted down as the male tribute was selected.

"Michael Clifford."

Didn't see that one coming.

I made my way to the stage.

Michelle was shaking, she was so terrified.

"Hey, it's okay." I gave her a smile and she burst out crying.

My eyes widened and I looked away, ashamed I made a girl cry.

They led us to a small room to say goodbye to our parents.

"I'm just gunna kill myself." She fretted. "As soon as the games start, Im gunna kill myself."

"Don't do that!" I frowned. "You have a chance!"

She shook her head and cried. "No I dont! Im just gunna step off the podium before the minute starts and blow myself up."

The doors opened and our families came in before I could try to talk her out of it.

As soon as we got to the train, she ran to her room and locked the door.

I sighed and waved to my people by myself, hoping I had a chance.

Because there was only one thing I wanted in life, love. And I knew there was no way I'd be getting that in the arena.

-

Calum's P.O.V.

Meanwhile, in District 5

I sat on the train and stared out the window, wondering how I got chosen. My name was only in there three times!

I huffed and went to find the food cart. Might as well get the benefits that come with being a tribute am I right.

Of course I am.

My partner Nina was there already.

Ooh, I like the way she thinks.

"Hi." I said to her.

"Hey." She was shaking slightly. "Good luck. I know its a little early to be saying that but, I wanna say it."

I smiled. "Good luck to you too."

"Since one of us or both of us will be dead in a few days.....and we're both virgins, do you wanna have some fun before the train gets to the Capitol?" She asked.

I grabbed a drink. "Just let me drink this first and then I'll meet you in bed." I said.

She smiled and walked away.

I sighed. I didn't have the heart to tell her I was flamboyantly gay (u know where this is going eheh).

-

Ashton's P.O.V.

We pulled up to the Capitol, and I hated my self for being impressed by how big and fancy it was.

But the people kind of scared me. Dressed in every color under the rainbow, they walked around in clothing I had never seen before. It was....disturbing to say the least.

I sighed and held Lauren's hand tightly. These poor people had no sense of fashion, I mean, just look at their shoes!

I shook my head and we followed Simon.

-skipping ahead a few days to the important parts-

First day of training was like the first day of school.

You had your Careers, who were like the jocks from the football team, and- hey, speaking of, one was looking right at me.

He had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.

Ooh, and a lipring!

He smiled at me, and his partner glared at him and placed her arm on his shoulder, turning him back around. She glared at me over her shoulder and I just gave her a smile.

Not my fault he likes me more.

Jealous bitch.

Lauren went off to learn about knot tying, so I went to the area where they taught you how to start fires.

I had almost gotten one started, when someone sat beside me.

It was Mr. Lip ring.

"You have to move your hands faster." He said. "Like this." He took the two sticks away from me and took over my place.

I was about to tell him off when a fire went fwoosh and burst up.

It died a moment later from no kindling, but I was impressed nonetheless.

"You ruined my sticks." I pouted.

"Luke! God, I told you to practice spear throwing!" Someone snapped, coming up behind us.

"You don't own me Blair." Mr. Lip- er, Luke, rolled his eyes. "I can practice what I want!"

"I'm going to kill you first." Blair seethed before turning on her heel and walking away.

"Well isn't she a delight." I watched her walk away.

"That's my partner." Luke muttered.

"Yeesh." I turned back to the fire pit and picked up the sticks.

"Yeah. So what district are you from?" Luke asked me.

"Twelve." I concentrated on my sticks, that were starting to smoke.

"I'm from One." He said, laying back on his hands.

"That awkward moment when I didn't ask." The smoke billowed up in my face.

"Jeez, are you bipolar?" He asked.

"Nah, just bi." I replied, not looking up.

Caught off guard, he didnt say anything. After a few moments, he just stood up and left.

And I giggled to myself.

-time skip again cuz the fun parts r up ahead and we all know it -

Michael's P.O.V.

Today was the day of the Games and Michelle had been throwing up all morning.

I knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey, are you like, pregnant? Or on the time of month'?"

She opened the door. "No! I'm just so scared."

"Oh. Okay. That's good...it'd be hard to play the Games with a baby in you or blood running down your legs." I said.
"Michael. Please shut up." She sighed and gripped the sink.

"Right. Okay." I didn't want to make her cry again.

"I'm leaving the Games on my own terms." She said. "It was nice knowing you Michael."

Well...at least I wouldn't have to kill her now.

-

Calum's P.O.V.

"So if I just step off this platform I'll explode?" I asked my neighbor, some girl from a different district.

"Try it and find out."

Boom!

Everyone whipped around to see someone had stepped off their platform before the minute was up.

"You know what, I'll just stay here for the next forty five seconds." I said casually.

"Michelle!" Someone cried.

"Bye Michelle." The girl snickered.

I frowned and reached out, grabbing the girls arm.

"Hey, what are you doing?! Let go!" She screeched.

She fought me but I was stronger and I yanked her off her platform.

Boom!

"Bye Felicia." I smirked.

-

Ashton's P.O.V.

Two booms. Wow.

I spotted Luke a few platforms away. We were all in a circle, only a foot away from each other.

"Hey, you should like, go boom too!" I yelled at him.

"Hahaaa." He shouted back.

I looked around but couldn't spot Lauren anywhere.

Suddenly the timer went off and everyone raced off their platforms.

No time to worry about her now. I ran into the woods, knowing there would be a blood bath at the cornucopia.

I scaled a tree and peered out from behind the leaves.

I could see three- wait, four bodies dead already.

Make that five.

At least Lauren wasn't one of them.

I sighed and climbed higher in my tree, hiding behind its abundance of leaves.

This was going to be a long night.

-

Luke's P.O.V.

As soon as the timer went off, Blair raced towards the cornucopia.

I, meanwhile, took off the other way.

"Luke!" She screeched. "What are you doing? Help me carry stuff!"

"I'm not your boyfriend!" I shouted.

Fuck that, I'm running to the safety of the woods.

I narrowly ducked a flying spear and I leaped over a dead body, feeling like a total ninja.

Of course, all good things must come to an end and my ninja spree ended when I violently crashed into a tree.

"Hey," a voice complained. "Go find different tree to run into, this ones mine."

I looked up to see that curly haired boy from practice.

"You!" I pointed.

He face palmed. "Shut up, Jesus you're gunna give away my location!"

Suddenly, I spotted a group of people running towards the woods. The Careers.

No time to start running, I had to get in this tree.

I started climbing and the boy whined. "Hey! What are you doing? Shoo!"

I ignored him and climbed to his height. "I'm just gunna hide here till the Careers-"

He pushed me out of the tree.

"Okay, oooowww!" I yelled up, gripping my head. "Firstly, you're being a total dick right now!"

He stuck his tongue out at me and climbed out of sight.

I sighed. Well I'm dead.

-

Michael's P.O.V.

With Michelle gone, I was the only one left to represent my district.

With that in mind, I charged towards to cornucopia.

I saw a boy my age running parallel to me and I figured we were both running to the same thing; a backpack loaded with helpful items and weapons.

I grabbed one strap of it and he grabbed the other before I could take off.

"Let go!" I yelled.

"I saw it first!" He growled.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Look out!"

"Did n- wait what?"

A small knife whizzed past my ear and I screamed, dropping to the floor. The boy took my shock as an excuse to rip the backpack from my hand. "Did too!"

I punched the ground in frustration.

Another small knife pierced through my clothes and pinned my leg to the ground.

Quickly, I pulled it out and whipped it at my attacker.

It hit her square in the chest and she fell to her knees, then facefirst onto the grass.

Scrambling up, I saw nothing else that was really useful in my range so I started running off in the direction I saw that boy go.

-

Luke's P.O.V.

The Careers caught up to me and I quickly shielded my face. (Cant damage the goods)

"Luke! God, there you are! Get up already, what are you doing on the ground?" A voice scoffed.

I lowered my arms in confusion. They had surrounded me but instead of stabbing me, they had their hands reached down to pull me up.

"Blair? What?" I grabbed their hands and they pulled me up.

"You got your clothes all dirty." She scolded. "Now come on, we saw the district 8 tributes run off to the stream!"

They started running and I followed them. Man, no one fucking told me I was in with the Careers. I mean, I know im from district 1 but I never talked to anyone about joining.

I took one last look at the tree. The boy was still there, watching me from the branches.

I saluted him, and he backed away.

-

Calums P.O.V.

It was raining.

I sat inside a cave I found, huddled against the back wall.

I had no idea where Nina was, she was probably dead though.

It was evening now, so in a few hours the cannons would go off and everyone will know who's dead and who's alive.

Snap.

I instantly went as quiet as possible.

I heard someone mutter something incoherent. The rain kinda drowned it out.

I slowly reached for my bag, pulling out a small knife as quickly as possible.

The figure stopped in front of the cave entrance and I could make out that it was the boy from earlier, the one I fought over the bag with.

Silently, I crept up behind him, ready to stab him from behind, but then I saw he was holding his arm in a painful manner and...it was probably just the rain...but were those tears on his cheeks?

I bit my lip. Just do it! Hes already injured, he won't be able to fight back!

I looked back to my bag. There was bandages in there.

No you softie! The point of the games is to kill! Not heal!

I tapped the boys shoulder and he jumped, turning around.

"Hey, it's you!" He gasped.

"My name is Calum, not You." I said. I looked down at his arm. "You hurt?"

"Um, yeah. I was running and a tripped on a sharp rock." He admitted.
I walked back into the cave. "I have some bandages." I pulled them out from the bag, but he stayed outside, getting drenched.

"What are you staying out there for? Come in." I rolled my eyes.

Reluctantly, he stepped inside, staying as close to the entrance as possible.

"Okay look, I could have killed you three minutes ago if I had wanted. So stop being so distant and let me help you." I snapped.

"Why do you even want to? You're supposed to kill people, not heal them." He retorted suspiciously.

Told you.

"I know, but if I hadn't fought you for the bag, you wouldn't be injured and I know its the games but I still feel bad. So do you want shelter and bandages for the night or would you prefer wandering aimlessly out there in the rain at night, while bleeding out?" I raised an eyebrow and he sighed.

"I'll-I'll stay."

-

Ashtons P.O.V.

Where was Lauren?

The cannons had gone off and Lauren wasn't listed among the dead, which was good.

Both tributes from 6,7,8,9, 10 and 11 were dead.

Who was still alive; Luke and Blair from 1, Michael from 2, I guess his partner was dead. Diana and Caine from 3, Danny and Samantha from 4...Only Calum from 5.

And me and Lauren from 12.

So basically the Careers against little Lauren and I.

Honestly, we didn't stand a chance and I knew it.

-

Michaels P.O.V.

Michelle was dead.

She really did step off her platform after all.

I asked Calum where his partner was and he said he didnt know. She was probably dead too.

I looked down at my arm. He had done a good job of bandanging it up, and the pain was already fading.

Currently, he was sleeping, a small knife held tightly in his hand.

I sighed and leaned against him. I told myself it was to share body heat but I just wanted to be close to him.

-

Luke's P.O.V.

We killed the tributes from 8.

Well, my partners did anyways. I just stood back and let them take care of it.

I kept looking behind my shoulder. I could swear we were being followed, but I could never spot anyone.

"Let's make camp here." Blair instructed. She started bossing Diana and Caine around.

I leaned against a tree and let her do the work. I wondered where the guy tribute from 2 was. He would fit right in with our group. It was Blair and district 3 and I against district 4, 12, the guy from 5 and the male from 2. Unless he joined us, that is.

"Luke, go find some food." Blair said, not even looking at me.

I gave her a sarcastic bow. "As you wish."

I started walking away to find some edible fruits. As I was walking, I sensed I was being followed again.

I stopped walking and carefully pulled out my sharp dagger.

"Put it away Mr. Lipring."

I turned around and saw it was the boy from the tree. "Hey....you."

"Ashton." He introduced.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"To join you." He stated.

I laughed. "Look hun, I'll admit you're attractive, but you're like a cinnamon bun in this game. You can't keep up with us Careers."

I never saw it coming. One second, my dagger is being spun around loosely in my hand, the next, it's buried in a tree, me with it.

Ashton glared at me, one hand on the handle of my dagger, the other around my neck as he pinned me to the tree.

"I won't ask again. Im joining you guys until I find my sister." He said firmly.

"Welcome to the fam." I rasped.

-

Calums P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning before Michael.

I could just kill him right now...but I won't.

He could be my ally until its just me and him in the games.

I kicked him lightly. "Hey, wake up."

He was awake instantly. "What? Who? Are we under attack?"

"Yeah, from hunger. Lets go hunt some breakfast." I said with a smile and he slowly relaxed.

-

Ashton's P.O.V.

Blair wasn't thrilled I was on her team, and the feeling was mutual.

I was only staying with them until I found Lauren, then it was me and her against the world.

I met the two other tributes, Caine and Diana.

"Just don't slow us down." Blair hissed at me as we got ready the next day. They were planning on killing Danny and Samantha from 4 today.

"Stay out of my way and we'll be fine." I snapped back.

"Smartass, I could kill you in ten different ways right now." She whipped out her spear.

"You wouldn't get the chance." I swatted the spear away from my face.

"Are you two quite done?" Diana called in annoyance.

"Yeah, come on already." Luke winked at me.

I rolled my eyes but followed the group.

"I spotted them by the cornucopia yesterday, they might still be there." Caine was saying.

"Too bad for them, we already grabbed all the good weapons." Blair said with a smirk and a hair toss.

When we arrived at the clearing that held the cornucopia, we sent Diana out to spy.

After a few minutes she came back in sight. "They're asleep inside it, this should be easy."

We hurried to the entrance and drew our weapons.

I was about to head in, when Luke suddenly grabbed me and yanked me back. "Ashton- no!"

"Shut up! What?" I hissed.

There came a whooshing sound, a sickening crunch, and Diana screamed.

I turned back and saw an ax had swung down from a trip wire. It had struck Caine, pinning straight through his chest and buried itself into the wall of the cornucopia.

The cannon sounded.

"So they put up some traps, big deal." Blair snapped. She shoved a horrified Diana forward. "Move!"

"They woke up." Luke noted.

I looked to the back to see the pair was awake and frantically grabbing what weapons they had.

"Whatever, we're blocking their only way out. All of you, get in there and kill those two!" Blair screeched.

Furious that her partner was killed, Diana pulled out her series of small knives and whipped them at the couple.

Samantha screamed, and Danny ducked in front of her. The knives all hit their mark, digging into his back.

He cried out in pain and dropped to the floor, blood instantly pooling around his unmoving body.

Another cannon.

"Now we're even, bitch." Diana snapped.

Samantha ran straight for Diana and jumped on her. They found with kicks and punches and the rest of us stepped back to let them roll around.

"Ugh, Luke, kill them already." Blair huffed.

"You're the one with the spear." Luke glared. "Besides, you might hit Diana."

"Who cares? I don't need her anyways." She pulled out her spear and aimed it at the fighting girls.

"Wait!" I cried, but she stabbed both girls straight through. The spear pierced both to the ground, killing them.

Double cannons.

"Did you have to do that?" Luke muttered after a moment.

Blair tugged on her spear, but it was lodged too deeply in the bodies and earth to come out. "Ugh. Lets just go get 2 and 5 and the other one from 12 and be done."

We started walking and I sighed, glancing at Luke.

"Um, thanks for...saving me earlier." I mumbled awkwardly. "Even though you're an idiot and you should have let me die."

"You're welcome, princess." He smiled.

I glared and slapped his arm. "Don't you call me that!"

He laughed. "What are you gunna do? Kiss me?"

"More like kill you." I muttered.

-

Calums P.O.V.

Michael and I were out searching for the Careers when they found us first.

We ducked behind our cave and watched three figures walk around, a few meters away.

"I thought there was more of them?" Michael whispered.

"Remember those cannons we heard?" I reminded him. "I guess they killed the other tributes or each other."

"There!" The girl suddenly shouted, pointing to the trees.

Since she hadn't spotted Michael and I, we followed her point to a small girl crouched on a low branch, a bow and arrow in her hands.

"Lauren!" Ashton shouted.

Blair grabbed a dagger from Luke and aimed it for the Lauren girl.

"No!" Ashton yelled, tackling Blair.

The pair fell to the ground and the weapon lodged itself into the tree, a few feet below the girl.

"You idiot!" Blair hissed. "Get off me!"

Lauren jumped down from the tree and aimed her bow at the pair on the ground. "Ashton, move!"

"He can't, that will free the crazy girl." Michael said and everyone suddenly looked to us.

"Smooth. Wow. Okay. Thanks." I slapped him.

"Lauren, just take the shot!" Ashton shouted, still struggling with Blair on the ground. "You're the one who needs to win anyways!"

"No!" Luke and Lauren both shouted.

"Yes!" Ashton snapped. "Just shoot already!"

"Luke! Stop them!" Blair threw a tantrum.

"Ashton, get to safety so Blair can die." Luke pleaded.

"Luke what the hell!"

Luke ignored her and kept his gaze on Ashton.

"Move so I can fire!" Lauren yelled.

"No you idiots! As soon as I let go, she's gunna kill somebody!" Ashton shouted.

"You bet your ass I will!" Blair screamed.

"Im not going to shoot you." Lauren said.

Ashton sighed, seeing no point in arguing. "Fine...."

Reluctantly, he loosened his grip on her. She immediately threw him off and ran to the tree.

Lauren whipped her bow around the the moving target. She fired the arrow, just as Blair dug the dagger out of the tree and whipped it at Lauren.

Both weapons hit their mark.

One cannon sounded.

"No!" Ashton cried, running to his sister.

"Let's get out of here." I whispered to Michael. He nodded and we hurried away.

-

Luke's P.O.V.

I walked over to Blair's body.

It was lifeless, and so I pulled the arrow out from her chest.

Ashton was bent over his sister, who was gasping for air as blood streams out the wound in her side.

"Hold on Lar, don't die on me." He sobbed. "Oh God, why didn't you just take the shot?"

I kneeled beside them. "How can I help? What do I do?"

"Nothing." Her voice was hoarse. She faced Ashton, and a trickle of blood poured out from the corner of her mouth. "Y-you have to w-win, Ashy."

"No no, you were supposed to win," he cried, holding her tighter.

"I love you." She whispered, her voice strained.

"I-I love you too." He wiped his eyes and sighed. "I'm so sorry, this is all my fault."

"Um, this probably isn't the time but, I call bullshit on that." I said. "It's Blair's fault."

"But I got her." Lauren smiled as her eyes slowly closed.

"Yeah Lar, you got her good." Ashton forced a smile.

Lauren was still after that, and I could tell Ashton was trying his hardest not to burst into tears.

"There's only four of us now." I whispered a few minutes later.

"Lauren should have been one of them. She should have won. I was supposed to protect her but instead I let her die." Ashton said in a low voice.

"Hey," I said suddenly. "Me and you, let's fuck (god please) these Games (DAMNIT). Lets make a pact with the other two. If we all agree not to kill each other, and no one fights, no one wins or loses the Games and the Capitol doesn't get it's precious winner."

He seemed to be thinking it over.
"What if they just kill all of us?"

"Then they still don't get their winner." I said.

"...I like that idea." Ashton smiled finally. "Fuck these Games."

"Fuck the Capitol!" I said with a cheer, raising my hand for a high five.

"Fuck the world!" He shouted, hitting his hand against mine.

-

Michael's P.O.V.

Calum and I were running, but we could hear them catching up to us.

"How did they catch up so fast?" Calum gasped.

"Oh I don't know, why dont you stop and ask them?" I snapped.

"No need to be rude." He sulked.

Suddenly, the blonde one dropped down in front of us and we skidded to a halt.

The curly haired one stopped us from behind and Calum clung to me in fear since we had left our weapons in the cave.

"Make it quick." I squeezed my eyes shut.

"Oh stop, we're not gunna kill you." One sighed.

I opened my eyes. "Oh...are you going to kill Calum?"

"No." The curly haired one said while Calum glared at me.

"Well thank you I guess...but why?" I asked.

"Because we're sick of the Games." The blonde stated. "But if you're against us, we'll just kill you now."

"We're with you!" Calum and I shouted.

-

Ashton's P.O.V.

After introducing ourselves and the plan, the four of us made a campsite.

Since we were the only ones left, we could make a fire.

"The Gamemakers aren't going to allow this." Calum said as we cooked a rabbit that Luke had killed.

"Oh no, are we gunna hurt their feelings?" I said sarcastically.

He shrugged. "They could hurt our districts."

"Not mine and Luke's." Michael smiled. "They love 1 and 2."

"Not if 1 and 2 betray them." Luke said. "They might go extra hard on them."

Michael stopped smiling.

"Well they don't scare me." I said, laying on my back. I looked up at the fake stars.

"Same." Luke laid beside me.

Michael sighed uncertainly but laid down too.

Calum huffed. "Y'all are fucking stupid, but so am I so lets do this!"

No ones P.O.V.

The four boys were asleep when dawn came.

Then, the fire in their pit started up again.

It grew brighter and brighter, and the heat slowly woke up the boys.

There came a shout, and suddenly they were all up and running as the fire jumped to the trees and started to burn everything in sight.

"I thought you put the fire out last night!"

"I did!"

"Then what the hell is happening!"

"The Gamemakers!"

"Shit, run!"

They made it to the clearing of the cornucopia, just as the fire made a full circle, consuming everything but the clearing.

"Now what?"

"There can only be one winner."

The boys backed up as the grass caught fire and slowly crept towards them.

"We're only letting one of you live. Happy 75th Hunger Games, boys."

They squeezed their eyes shut as the fire caught up to them.

Well, to all...but one.
