<Houston Taylor's POV>

Emily and I had already fled into the forest by the time we heard an explosion. Why? Because we were scared for our lives since tributes were apparently killing each other! Duh! I have to protect Emily again and this time, I won't fail.

<Emily Edgerton's POV>

We ran through the forest until we felt like we ran far enough away from the Cornucopia. I had an orange backpack from the Cornucopia, just like last time AND I got a fire glove! SWEET! Houston also got a fire sword! Yeah we're becoming OP by the second! "So what do we do now?" I asked Houston. She shrugged. "Find a water source? Some shelter? I doubt there's a cave in here but I know there is a lake. Remember Cookie's map?" I nodded. "Yeah, I remember." I looked around and saw no one. I pointed East. "Let's go that way!" We began to walk down that path when we heard someone screaming. Houston and I stopped with our weapons out. Soon, the screaming stopped but a cannon didn't go off. "Be careful," we said at the same time. We paused and looked at each other then laughed. Cautiously, we walked through the woods. Soon, we thought we were safe. We sat down and I began to look through my backpack. There was some wolf meat, a water bottle, and some extra clothing. "Hey we got water!" I told Houston. She smiled. "Great!" Then, all of a sudden, Epikduks lunged out of some bushes behind me and grabbed me. I would of screamed but it would of been no use. I watch as Houston takes out her fire sword and stabs him in the shoulder. Epikduks lets go of me and I quickly run over to Houston. We look at Epikduks and I notice that his eyes are green. "They got him..." I mumble. Then he lunges at us again but, coincidentally, he lands on the tip of Houston's sword and gets stabbed in the chest. We gasp and Houston drops her sword. We watch as Epikduks slowly bleeds to death. "I'm so sorry," Houston says. A cannon goes off.

"Epikduks has fallen. One death point for Houston Taylor."

I wake up and find myself in the mountain region of the arena. The smoke was finally clearing up but the smell was still lingering on my clothes. I stood up and a sharp pain went up my legs and I collapsed to the ground. "Go****mit!" I looked around and saw a large boulder by me. I crawled over to it and carefully pulled myself up. I could see several burns on my legs from the explosion. "How long have I been out?" I groan. I noticed how tall the mountains were, very tall. "Where is everyone else?" I ask myself. I jump when I hear a cannon go off from afar. "Epikduks has fallen. One death point for Houston Taylor." Are we fighting?! Did the plan fail?? These thoughts raced through my mind. I knew Houston wouldn't kill unless it was for self defense. So, Epikduks attacked her? "HELLO?!" I shouted. "ANYONE HERE!" There was a moment of silence. "HELLO?????????????" All of a sudden, an agonizing scream pierced the air."Help me! Save me! Oh God save me!" I recognized it immediately. I try to run but my legs was still in a bad shape. "FU**!"

When I woke up, I was by Cookie in the forest. She wasn't awake but she was still breathing. I looked down at her leg and gasped. There was a giant crystal shard stabbed into her leg. "I need to pull that out!" I think out loud. I touch the shard. "OW!" I exclaim, pulling back my hand. A finger was bleeding. Boy, was it sharp! I look around for something to pull it out with. Thankfully, we were in the forest area and there was plenty of leaves around. I pick a giant leaf off a tree and walk back to Cookie. That's when I saw her eyes open. She gasped for air and then looked at her leg. Horrified, she saw the shard and then she looked back at me. There was a long moment of silence before she began to scream. "Help me! Save me! Oh God save me!" "Shhh!! Calm down!" I said. "I'm just going to get it off of you." She stopped screaming. "Your not one of them?" she asked. "The green eyes, I mean." I shook my head. "What are you talking about?" I asked. Cookie looked away. "Never mind. Just do what you have to do and , please, make it quick." I nodded and took out the shard. Immediately, Cookie held leg that had the wound. "Dankeschön," she said, breathing heavily. "What does that mean?" I ask. "Thanks. It means thank you." She closed her eyes and laid down. "Today did not go as planned." "Are we going to team up?" I ask her. She smiles and nods. "Yeah, I guess so...ghgh!" "What's wrong?" I asked. Silence. "What's wrong?" I asked again "It's here," was all she said. Then she cried our again. "Run!" She screamed at me, "run away! Run away far from here!" I saw tears in her eyes as they turned green. "Please," she cried, quietly. "But I can't leave you here by yourself!" I told her. "Leave...now..." Then she closed her eyes and stayed motionless on the ground. Unable to do anything else, I ran. I ran far away, into the woods with no clear path to follow. Only Cookie's cries echoing in my mind. Suddenly, I tripped on a rock an game tumbling down until I landed on someone. It was Houston and Emily, my old arena buddies.

The moment I heard the first death, I grabbed Sonja's arm and ran into the desert with her. We had two backpacks, each of them had two water bottles and some food, while I had a trident as my weapon and Sonja had a dagger. "Did you see where Tom went?" I asked her. She shook her head. "Da**. Where could he of gone?" "We'll find him," Sonja reassured me, "don't worry about it. He's as tough as a rock, you know. He can get through anything."
<Bashurverse's POV>
I ran into the jungle area with a grappling gun and a sleeping bag. I immediately shoot my grappling gun at the nearest tree and I swing onto the top of it. Immediately, I'm in awe from the beautiful sight. The different regions looked beautiful thanks to the rays f sunlight coming from the giant hole in the sky that people were coming out of. Wait...THERE'S A GIANT FREAKING HOLE IN THE SKY!!!!! What the balls!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw someone flying at me like a glider. As the person flew closer, I recognized him as _.officialbolin._ . "HEY!" I called out, waving my hands around, "over here!!"
