《Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)》Capitol Update: The Arena - Day Four
Advertisement
Piper Papillon’s POV:
‘’ Good evening Panem! Day four in the Hunger Games arena has come to a close and I am thrilled to announce that we have our three final pairs for day five, which what I think is going to be the final day in the arena! We lost four more tributes today, and we have just six to go forward to tomorrow. I have an important announcement for you all, but first I will talk about the deaths. So without further ado, I will go through what happened today!
The day started with two early deaths. District Four’s Lilly Cullen – the daughter of the District Four Mayor – and her partner, Ethan Rhodes from District Five were the ones to die first. They had been preparing to leave as they saw Echo and Gauze approaching and they were hit by a mystery shooter. I can now confirm, that out of Echo, Gauze and Alistair – the long ranged fighters – that Ethan was hit by one of Alistair’s arrows.
Alistair and Arianna managed to creep up on the pair and they took out Ethan and therefore Lilly without being seen. They then fled, as they were unaware of Echo and Gauze near them and headed across the island. Poor Lilly and Ethan died, but they both had someone waiting for them on the other side so that’s some consolation I guess.
Later on in the day, we saw the wonderful special attraction that saw the return of four deceased tributes. Brutis, Pious, Ravina and Caspian returned to the arena as zombified fighters to guard the vials that contained the antidote to the coma. All four of the girls went under the influence of it and it was up to the guys to rescue them.
Stitch, Alistair, Osmo and Gauze headed to the cornucopia clearing in the hope of retrieving one of three vials containing the antidote. Each of the deceased tributes had been assigned one of the boys and it was their duty to fight them if they approached the vials. It certainly was action-packed, because as soon as the first tribute set foot in the clearing, there was fighting until Stitch took his last breath.

So let’s move onto Stitch, it ended up being him and Gauze racing for the last vial. If Gauze had not shot him in the leg with his cross-bow bolt, we’d probably have a completely different set of finalists. Anyway, Stitch went down and the four deceased tributes tore him limb from limb. It was not pretty! Stitch and Min joined Ethan and Lilly on today’s death toll.
Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, I have an important announcement to make! Tomorrow is the last day in the arena, and we need your help! We need as many ideas as you can give us as to how we can spice up the arena! As well as this, we need ways to draw the tributes together for the final fight. Any and all ideas you have are welcomed so don’t hold back!
Finally, we want to know which tributes you want to see win this year’s Hunger Games. So please, send us in the names of the two tributes you want to win along with your suggestions. It would be greatly appreciated! Until next time, I’m Piper Papillon and that was your Capitol Update!’’

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
