Chapter 9
<Tyler Oakley's POV>
The day of the games was today. The Centries loaded all the tributes onto a hovercraft. I was sitting in between BajanCanadian and AsfJerome. When we got to the catacombs, they locked me in a room for ten minutes.
<Emily Edgerton's POV>
They locked me in a room for ten minutes. Caitlin was waiting for me. Her face was red, which could mean that she was crying. She gave me a hug. I remembered what Houston told me to do during the games. She had told me to wait for her at the nearest water source. But I'll meet her there, so she doesn't have to worry. "Please win," Caitlin said, "I don't want anymore of my friends to die because of the games." "Don't worry," I said, "we'll win!"
<mike_the_guard's POV>
My mentor was waiting for me at the room. He gave me a high five and pulled out a small package. "What's that?" I asked him. He unwrapped the package and inside was a small wooden ball. I recognized it immediately. "That was mine when I was younger!" My mentor handed the ball to me. "Your district sent you this. It's your token." Then the intercom came on. "Ten seconds," it said. I held the ball tightly in my hand. "Thanks," I said. He nodded and led me inside a glass tube. "Good luck!" he said as the plate began to rise. The arena was in a forest, and there was a meadow in the center. That was where the Cornucopia was. We were surrounded all around it. I looked around for thexavatar. She was only a few tributes away. Then I made a mistake. I accidentally released the wooden ball. It dropped onto my platform and I tried to get it. But then, the ball landed on the ground.
<Thexavatar's POV>
I looked around and saw Mike trying to grab something. It looked like a little wooden ball. The countdown was on number 20. Then, I saw the wooden ball fall onto the grass. My eyes widened. No! MIKE NO!! Mike screamed and a split second after, there was an explosion. I screamed, along with most of the Youtubers around him. When the smoke cleared up, I could see his dead, corpse spread across the ground. It was a bloody mess. No one else was hurt though. I felt a huge amount of dread go over me. Mike, why Mike, why? Then the countdown stopped on the number ten and a voice echoed around us.
"Mike_the_guard has fallen. One death point for the arena."
<TheSyndicateProject's POV>
Death points, huh? So we get points if we kill someone? That's what I think. The countdown continued. 10....9....8.... Okay, I'm ready for this. I have to find Tucker though. I told him to meet me at the nearest water source. 3.....2....1.... The gong went off and I took off for the Cornucopia.
< Bodil40's POV>
I ran towards the Cornucopia. I saw Simon run away from it. Ha ha! The first thing I grabbed was a sword. Someone ran up to me, with a sword held up high. I stabbed them in the stomach and they collapsed onto the ground, bleeding to death. Then I grabbed the closest bombs. A smoke bomb and a stick of TNT.
"Carflo has fallen. One death point for Bodil40."
<Houston Taylor's POV>
I grabbed the nearest bag I could find. It was an orange backpack. I quickly got up and was about to run away when a voice told me to duck. It was Emily. I ducked and a large fireball went over my head. It hit a man, who was about to throw a spear at me. He began to scream as his entire body caught on fire. I got up and ran away with Emily. She had a fire glove on and a small backpack on her back.
"Chrisandthemike has fallen. Two death points for arena."
What? The arena didn't kill him! I saw Emily sigh in relief as we ran farther and farther away from the Bloodbath.
<Thnxcya's POV>
There was a backpack close to me and I grabbed it when the gong went off. I just picked it up when a knife was shot inside of it. I looked up and saw SkyDoesMinecraft, looking for another knife to throw. I ran away as fast as my legs could take me. When I felt like I was far enough away, I grabbed the knife out of the bag and looked inside of the bag. There was a bottle of water, some crackers. a blowgun,24 darts, and some dried beef. Sweet! Then I heard footsteps behind me. I could tell from the corner of my eyes that it wasn't Dan. I took the knife and threw it at the person behind me. It was a red headed boy and he fell down on impact.
"Gingecast Hayden has fallen. One death point for Thnxcya."
I grabbed the little he had and ran away.
<Danisnotonfire's POV>
I grabbed a knife and a water bottle and tried to run out of the Cornucopia when I saw an arrow whiz past me. I looked up and saw the BajanCanadian shooting at me. I ran until I felt something pierce my foot. I fell down and saw the arrow. Then Mitch came up to me. "I'm so sorry,bro." he said, holding a knife up. The world soon went black.
<Paranormal Cookie's POV>
"Danisnotonfire has fallen. One death point for BajanCanadian."
I kept running. The numerous branches in my way. I had a backpack but the stuff inside of it was small. I had some matches, a blanket, a small knife, a first aid kit, and a pack of dried beef strips. I was separated from my team mate, CaptainSparklez, but I didn't let that stop me. Finally, I stopped and rested. I climbed up a tree and rested on a branch. I flinched when I heard the loud cannons go off. 1,2,3,4,5. Only five deaths? Impressive...I guess?
<Emily Edgerton's POV>
We made it to the nearest water source and began drinking some water. We were so thirsty! I looked in my backpack and saw some dried beef strips, a fire knife, a first aid kit, and an extra pair of socks. The backpack was bright orange and I realized that would be a problem. I got some mud from the lake and covered my backpack with it. Then, I gave Houston the fire knife. "Thanks," she said, "for saving my life out there." I nodded. I didn't want to talk about it. Then we heard footsteps coming our way. "Hide!" I whispered and we climbed up the nearby trees until we couldn't be seen. We saw two men walking into the clearing. "So, Tucker, we've survived this far," one of them said, "now what is TEAM REESTER's plan?" "I don't know,Tom" the one called Tucker said, "hunt someone down?" "I heard some people over here," Tom said,"hopefully they aren't Careers. We already told them 'no' when they asked to ally with us. I don't ally with anyone! Except for you, of course." I looked at Houston and she nodded. Then I saw Tom look up and he gasped. I realized he was looking at me. "Up there!" he said. "HOUSTON WE NEED TO RUN!!" I yelled out. We jumped down and I made a quick fireball and threw it at the ground. A large fire erupted out of it, separating Tucker and Tom from us. Then we ran away, thankful that we had collected some water.
