Chapter One First Day of Death
The pedestals were rising, rising, rising to the cornucopia, where most of the supplies were stored from food to weapons to medical supplies. It was also where the initial blood bath would be. In a circle bordering the cornucopia were the tributes in a random order. Then the countdown begun...
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0- gong, gong" Then it started.
The careers rushed towards the cornucopia first having the luxury of picking up whatever they wanted or needed. Then came some of the other weaker tributes, with the careers armed to begin their killing spree. First arrived Twilight Sparkle who was deemed weak without her magic. Since the Capitol had taken away Unicorn magic and the pegasi's flight for every games. Twilight was easily killed along with Snips and Snails, but only three kills wouldn't satisfy the careers. They also picked off Hayseed and Donut Joe with a second thought, or a first thought. All the other ponies had been long gone thankful to still be alive, besides one pony.
Rarity she was determined she could sneak past the vicious careers to get some food. "Now come on you no good careers" she whispered to her self. "Just move to the other side so good 'ol Rarity can take some of that precious food". Then almost on cue they all moved to the other side. This was her chance "Perfect!" she bluntly said a little louder than needed. "Oh dear"
"Hey did you hear that?" Trixie cooed to the others "I think that we have a guest". As she turned around Rarity was right there.
"I don't suppose you'll let me join you" Rarity quivered expecting the worst.
"Ha, you are quite funny. Of course not" Fancy Pants taunted. "I'm going to kill you for even thinking you could even try to get away with taking our great loot". With the swipe of his sword he killed Rarity taking her head clean off. With a 'boom' the cannon sounded telling the other tributes somepony died.
o.O.o
"There, ah think we got far enough away from dat darn corni-thingy" Applejack told her teammates and sadly also her family.
"Eeyup" BigMac said.
"Are ya sure, it's betta safe than sorry ya know?" Braeburn questioned.
"Yes I ahm absolutely positive. Unless you wanna leave by ya self to go May furtha" AJ teased with a smirk.
With wide eyes Braeburn shook his head "No"
"Exactly"
That's when the anthem started to play. Telling the tributes who died that day and most specifically at the bloodbath. First it showed Twilight Sparkle from District Three. Applejack felt a tingle in her spine. She figured it was just because of the running and walking along with the fact she probably hadn't gotten used to death around every corner yet. Then it showed Snails from seven, but she didn't feel it.
Snips from eight, she didn't feel it.
Rarity also from eight. This time she felt it.
Donut Joe from nine. She didn't feel it for him either.
And lastly Hayseed Turnip Truck from twelve. Not for him either.
Little did Applejack know two other mares just had the exact same sensations as her. It was already to late for friendship, now it was time for death.
