All Eyes

1st- Pyrrha Cortese, 18, Gladiator (5 Kills)

Released

Pyrrha was tired. Everything that she had ever expected from herself was over. She had never made plans for what would happen after, and it turns out that it was just as well she didn’t. Pyrrha was nothing special to the people of Panem and she was soon all but forgotten. After being offered jobs in many amazing places, including working for the Game Master himself, Pyrrha chose to take a training job at the Academy. For ten years she worked tirelessly with the potential Gladiators, until one day she simply left and never came back. Head Trainer Ayres sent people after her, but no one ever found her again. Students rumoured that she had run away to work for the Game Master, or took a job with the President, but no one would ever know for sure where the so called perfect Gladiator ended up.

2nd - Quentin Reiss, 18, Sector A (2 Kills)

Released

Hesitantly, Quentin too chose to return to District Zero with Ingo Arvallian. After their escape just mere months after they had been assigned their rooms, they began to build. With the help of others who had escaped from District Zero they began to spin a rebellion. More and more people joined them- escapees, Victors, and Peacekeepers alike. They staged small scale movements with the help of their people inside the fences of Zero. They told people what the Hunger Games were. They preached to the people of other districts and showed them what District Zero really was. The rebellion was growing, but this was never going to be an easy journey for them. Not with the Game Master standing on the other side, waiting for them to make one wrong move.

3^rd- Odin Jurado, 18, Gladiator (3 Kills)

Killed by Quentin Reiss

If losing Eros was a pill to swallow, then losing Odin was complete heartbreak for the Academy. Everyone knew Odin; he was the one that got along with everyone from peers to new students to trainers. Even the Head Trainer, though he had always suspected Odin might crack in the arena, hung his head as he signed the cremation order. Odin was cremated quickly after returning to the Capitol and his urn, along with his Gladiator ring, were placed in a gallery where he would be forever admired for his bravery.

4^th- Micah Theron, 18, Sector B (0 Kills)

Killed by Odin Jurado

As much as Xavian hated to admit it, he missed Micah more than anyone. After Crispin told him what happened, he nearly beat the shit out of Crispin himself for not putting up more of a fight for Micah. Xavian knew the horror stories about the recons very well, hell he’d made a few of them up himself, and he knew that whatever was in store for Micah wasn’t good. The rebellious troublemaker drew inward so far that no one, not even Crispin or Graham’s boys could get a rise out of him. Micah always thought that he needed Xavian but as it turns out Xavian needed him just as much.

5^th- Klay Deravel, 18, Sector E (1 Kill)

Killed by Pyrrha Cortese

Klay was wrong; his family never thought he was dead at all. Worse than that, they thought he had simply left them. Despite his fiery love for his sister it wasn’t uncommon for him to leave them for days on end without a word as to where he was going. After several weeks, even little Tova believed that her big brother had left her for good. It wasn’t until her mother got ill that Tova ventured out of the barracks to search for Klay. She spent weeks looking through every alley, enduring every ill word that passerbys would throw at her, until she was lured in by a crew boy who took a liking to her brown curls.

6^th- Valora Cordett, 18, Sector F (0 Kills)

Killed by Klay Deraval

Niklaus was more than upset after Valora failed to meet up with him, again. Days went by and he still hadn’t heard from her, but that wasn’t too unusual for her. After a week he became worried. After two he didn’t know whether to be infuriated that she’d written him off or devastated that something might have happened. He chose the first one, because it gave him no guilt in the matter. He couldn’t have done anything to stop her from leaving, is what he told himself. He was never too sure if he believed it because the empty feeling never quite went away, but he told himself he did.

7^th- Everett Montclair, 15, Sector H (0 Kills)

Killed by Quentin Reiss

Everett was likely the only tribute whose life became more bearable after he was abducted. In District Zero he had no one, not even one single person to miss him, but Panem remembered him. In his time in the arena he became everything he wanted to be- he became someone that people notice. Panem ate up every move he made, and replays of him broadcasted across the nation even years after his death. Everett got everything he ever wanted out of life. It would have hardly mattered that he had to give his life to get it. His life was never worth living anyway.

8^th- Ingo Arvallian, 18, Sector C (1 Kill)

Released

After a week of interviews and functions to attend with Quentin Reiss and Pyrrha Cortese, Ingo chose to return to District Zero. It was a shock to almost everyone, because out of all of the wonderful places he could have gone he went there. Quentin Reiss also chose to be placed in District Zero, though the two were sorted into different sectors. Their plan, the one that they had whispered about while the night nurses slept, began. They spread rumours through their sectors, stuffed notes through holes in the fences, and eventually they escaped. The two of them lived in the forests surrounding Zero for four months, meeting others that too had escaped Zero. They began to reach out to other Victors through the Peacekeepers that had helped them escape. The Blood Children’s journey began.

9^th- Eros Abner, 18, Gladiator (4 Kills)

Killed by Ingo Arvallian

Head Trainer Ayres was notably the most affected by Eros’ failure. He had taken the boy under his wing a few years ago and truly believed that he would have what it takes to be a Gladiator, even took steps off the book to make it happen. He never expected those boys to overtake his protégé, but they did. Seneca Ayres could have taken on the blame, but instead he separated himself from Eros’ name. The next one would be better, he told himself and years later his next favourite made Seneca so proud he forgot Eros’ name completely.

10^th- Alanis Marcham, 14, Sector H (0 Kills)

Killed by Eros Abner

Corin found out quickly why Alanis never met with him that day; word travels fast through the network he keeps. He pitied the girl, but could do nothing more for the girl he knew as Elise. He got a new girl, one that looked oddly similar to her, and he promised himself he would be much kinder to this one. Alanis faded from his mind by the end of the year, and the rest of the district hardly remembered that she was still missing.

11^th- Ronan Traupelle, 17, Sector G (0 Kills)

Killed by Mutts

Ronan’s two younger siblings- Ashlyn and Fallon- took his disappearance the hardest. His mother hid her tears from the family after Jeremy came to them with news that Ronan had been abducted, but her daughters heard the sobs. Ashlyn retreated into herself, becoming so withdrawn from the world that she hardly spoke a word each day. Fallon, on the other hand, projected her sadness outward as anger. By sixteen she had been taken in by one of the strongest crews in Sector G. By seventeen she was dead, killed during a brawl with a rival crew. Her twin sister and mother barely got by after that, but they survived even after the law change killed most of their neighbours and friends.

12^th- Demetra Van Sant, 16, Sector I (1 Kill)

Killed by Pyrrha Cortese

Garth mourned his best friend since the day she was taken. Unlike Demetra, Garth had heard of the recons and he knew all the stories. After being taken by them no one ever comes back. Still, Garth held onto some hope that she would come back because if anyone could do it it was Demetra. A week after she was taken and Garth finally faced the truth that he would never see her again. Demetra’s old crew came back for Garth again and again, but this time no one stood in their way.

13^th- Cadria Arias, 17, Sector A (0 Kills)

Killed by Odin Jurado

Liam, Cadria’s best friend in District Zero, spent years looking for her after she didn’t come home that day. Information got back to him that the recons had taken her, but he refused to believe it. He demanded answers from passing Peacekeepers and was given multiple more infractions on his record for disturbing the peace. He didn’t care, there was nothing they could do to stop his search for his friend. Nothing until the law changed before the 235^th Hunger Games, when Liam was executed alongside many others at the age of thirty-two.

14^th- Blair Myles, 18, Sector J (0 Kills)

Killed by Eros Abner

District Zero was not changed in Blair’s absence. Her bed was filled by another unlucky girl who has just moved to the district, and unlike Blair she made fast friends with her roommates. By the time that she died, the other girls had all but forgotten Blair’s name. On the other side of Panem in District Two, her younger sister clung to a distraught father who would wonder for the rest of his life what he could have done differently that might have saved her.

15^th- Decker Vanes, 15, Sector F (0 Kills)

Killed by Electrocution

Word of the stunt that happened at the mountain during Decker’s abduction spread like wildfire through Sector F. It was the first time that the people felt like they could do something about the unfairness, even if they didn’t win. Rebellion movements picked up speed throughout the sector, making it a hotspot for arrests, and later executions, after the laws changed. Pina and Lock were both thirty at the time of their arrest. Both of them painted Decker’s name in coal across their chests on the day of their executions.

16^th- Griffin Mastiff, 16, Sector D (0 Kills)

Killed by Infection

After hearing about his brother’s stunt in the cafeteria, Alek ran all around the sector trying to find him and prove that he wasn’t actually gone. He asked everyone who would stop if they’d seen him, and after a while Alek began to piece together the pieces of Griffin’s life that he’d kept hidden. He found out about Alder and, against his better judgement, walked straight into the crew house to confront him. Some say that Alek had been looking for a fight and they never meant to hurt him as badly as they did, but no matter the reason Alek didn’t leave the crew house alive that night.

17^th- Leighton Shaller, 18, Sector C (0 Kills)

Killed by Pyrrha Cortese

Though she didn’t think she would, Leighton did end up with two people who would remember her forever. While her father figured she was just somewhere around the sector like she had been for years without visiting him, her two former allies knew the dark truth. Ingo and Quentin would spend the rest of their lives thinking of her, even giving her a special name in their new Victor society. Sinew, she would now be called, because she was the one that first held them together. The Blood Children would only hear whispers of Leighton’s legacy, but Sinew would never be forgotten.

18^th- Kaelyn Powell, 13, Sector D (0 Kills)

Killed by Eros Abner

Ylia and Carmichael missed the little waitress that had run around their work since she learned how. Even as the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months the bar never quite returned to normal. There was always a little touch of something missing and everyone knew that something was Kaelyn. The regulars who worked as Peacekeepers were banned from entering the building after a few months on a particularly drunken night and eventually Carmichael was forced to close the doors of the technically illegal business.

19^th- Aislinn Keymar, 18, Sector B (0 Kills)

Killed by Odin Jurado

Keia, Aislinn’s mother, was distraught after seeing her only family taken away from her so quickly. Her grief was pardoned for a few days, but quickly others grew tired of Keia’s antics. She was fired on the day of Aislinn’s death and, though she couldn’t possibly have known what had happened to her daughter, Keia was inconsolable on that day. Keia’s room was taken and given to another family while she was moved into a room with three other women around her age. Years later and Keia has not touched another valuable lest the memories of Aislinn overwhelm her.

20^th- Alastair Caine, 17, Sector I (0 Kills)

Killed by Eros Abner

Despite what everyone would expect, Alastair died happy in that arena. For his entire life eh had hoped for something bigger than District Zero and he had seen it in the Capitol. He had no one to leave behind except his mother, who was little more than a stranger in his life. The day that those recons took him away was arguably the best day of his life because he got away. Against all odds, Alastair didn’t rot in District Zero and that was enough for him.

21^st- Shaera Hanslok, 18, Sector G (0 Kills)

Killed by Pyrrha Cortese

Shaera appeared to be dearly missed by the friends she had made in Sector G, but as Shaera always proved appearances couldn’t be trusted. Her friends were not so gullible as she thought, in fact they quickly realized after speaking with one another that Shaera was the common denominator to all of their issues around the sector. Outwardly they grieved to those that had seen Shaera taken by the recons, but so far inside that they barely realized it themselves they wished she had been taken earlier.

22^nd- Topher Darosa, 12, Sector J (0 Kills)

Killed by Pyrrha Cortese

Topher’s mother was left behind in tears after they took her son. She kept close to the door for nearly a week, hoping that he would come back to her but he never did. She didn’t know who the recons were or why they took him, but she became paranoid that they would come for her too. She barricaded her door shut and ate only the little bits of food left in their room. Weeks later, when Peacekeepers forced open her door for a routine check, they found that she had starved to death days earlier.

23^rd- Eloise Bailey, 15, Sector E (0 Kills)

Killed by Demetra Van Sant

As soon as Eloise was taken, Kalea ran upstairs to tell Isaac and Ihsan. The two had been planning on casting Eloise out of their little information business for her own safety, but all thoughts of that were gone as soon as they heard the news. The boys took off as fast as they could but, of course, they were far too late to find her. The three of them believed that she had been taken in for the things they’d had her do, and the guilt was impossible to handle. Isaac parted ways with Ihsan only a week after Eloise was taken. Ihsan spent weeks on the lookout for Isaac but he never saw his friend again. Rumour has it that losing his sister was too much and he took his own life.
