The train went from area to area. I followed the speech on the script because I didn't want to do anything wrong.

Nick did the same thing. Everyone in district 3 thanked me for saving Nick. I just smiled. I had also killed Jake.

Back in my area, I tried to avoid Connor. I heard he was looking for me. I didn't want him to feel bad or something... I don't know.

"Sweetie, your friend is looking for you." My mom said. She pointed towards Connors house.

I looked at her. "I'll go later." I fina... Read Full Chapter

Jewel and Gem looked at me and gasped. "Sweetheart! You are a MESS!" Gem squealed.

I took a shower, then Jewel had laid out an awesome green dress. I quickly got dressed.

"You look amazing." Gem said while she put blue eyeshadow on me. "Get ready for your victory tour!" Jewel exclaimed.

I was going to meet up with Nick when someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned around.

It was Jake's father! I tried to get away, but his grip tightened. "You killed MY SON!" He screamed.

I gasped. "He wa... Read Full Chapter

"I told you that you would do great!" Dawn exclaimed. I smiled and got on the train to go back home. Nick was waiting. "Nick..." I started.

"Yeah?" He replied. "I have a confession." I gulped. "I'm Sarah's sister." I had said it.

"What?" He said. "I wasn't brave enough to volunteer, so we switched places, since we're twins." I said.

"Wow." He said. "Are you mad?" I asked. "What?! No!" He exclaimed. "It's the same you, only that your name is Crystal!"

I sighed... Read Full Chapter

I woke up to the loudspeaker. "Since there are no two tributes from the same area left, two tributes from different areas can win."

I shook Nick's arm. "Did you hear that!" He smiled and nodded. "The other two have probably allied." He said grimly. I nodded.

"Lets start going to the cornucopia." I said. He agreed. After long minutes of walking, the centerpiece of the arena was in sight.

Nick had to take a break to rest his arm. "Is it better?" I asked. He unwrapped it and his eyes brighte... Read Full Chapter

"I should've figured you didn't trust me..." Jake said. "WHAT?!" I replied. He shook his head.

"You got a weapon instead of going with me." He said. I threw a knife at him. He dodged it.

I was tired. He took the opportunity and took out an arrow. He shot it at me, but I stepped aside.

I quickly picked up the knife that had fallen. I threw it at him and he wasn't quick enough to react.

A cannon blew. The sound stung my ears and I started feeling sick. "What have I done?" I thought.

Nick didn't heal as fast as I thought. I needed his bow and arrow skill to hunt! He showed no interest in doing it himself.

"Well?! Aren't you gonna do something?" I asked. He moaned and sat up. I undid the bandage around his arm and saw it was still badly hurt, but it was healing.

I sighed. "Try to shoot an arrow." I firmly said. He got up and grabbed his bow with his good arm.

He aimed the arrow at a tree just outside the cave. He pulled an arrow into the bow string and released it.

It... Read Full Chapter

I took him to the cave where I was staying. He put his back against a wall. "My name's Nick by the way."

He croaked weakly. "My names.. Sarah." I replied. He was from Area 3. After that, I gave him some water.

"Thanks for not letting me die." He smiled. "Hey, I hesitated after you tried to kill me!" I exclaimed.

"Why... Why did you make the Haunted Arrows?" I asked. Nick looked away. "I don't remember anymore."

Nightfall came. There where only two fallen tributes that day. It was awfull... Read Full Chapter

"Jake, Jake!" I whispered loudly. No reply. I kept on walking through the thick woods. All of a sudden an arrow almost run me through.

I rolled my eyes. "Jake, really, I know that's you." WRONG. A small pack of teens stepped out of the woods. "We are the Haunted Arrows." One said.

Thought #1: what's so "haunted" about arrows?
Thought #2: gotta run for it!

I ran through the woods with arrows nearly hitting me. I turned around and threw a knife. It hit one of the Haunted Arrow's. A cannon w... Read Full Chapter

JAKE'S POV

I hated Sarah so much right now. I have to admit, she is really pretty, but right now I didn't care. She had probably been killed by the Area 1 people by now! "Whatever." I thought. "I can survive on my own."

CRYSTAL'S POV (regular pov)

I was laughing along with Lindsay and Rassor when the leaves rustled. Rassor told us to stay quite while he scouted ahead.

He disappeared into the woods and a cannon blew. "Area 6, boy." He said. "He had a dagger, Sarah, you can take it. You u... Read Full Chapter

"It'll be all right!" Dawn whispered. I was panicking. All if a sudden the glass tube closed up and I closed my eyes.

I opened them. I was in a large field. Thick woods where surrounding it. A simple river ran along one side.

The other tributes all had their eyes focused on the cornucopia. I admit, I did too.

"25"
"24"

The seconds where counting down. I caught Jake's eye and he signaled at me to run for the woods. I saw a perfectly good set of knives.

"11"
"10"

I bit my lip. Should ... Read Full Chapter

"Fine." I said. Jake stepped inside. He plopped down on my chair as if he was welcome to. "What plan do you have in mind?"

"PLEASE don't say fall in love like Katniss and Peeta or i'm gonna barf!" I added quickly. "We need something the crowd will like." Jake said.

I mentally prepared myself for the worst. "We..." He started. "I have no clue." He said. I laughed. "Me neither!"

"Sarah?" He said. I still wasn't used to everyone calling me my sister's name. "Yea?" I replied.

"I kinda... I r... Read Full Chapter
