"AAAAAAAAAA!"
That was me screaming.
I was so close. So close! If I had maybe just sucked it up and killed Gidget and Sammy instead of sitting there holding hands with them while I faded away, maybe I would be home right now with Mom, Dad, and Abby instead of sitting here on a hospital bed, about to be sent into the Hunger Games along with a ton of other resurrected tributes from Games past. I don't know how long I've been awake, but it didn't take me long to realize that I had died and been resurrected, and I'm pissed.
My thoughts make me frown. I don't like to think about killing people. The only time I killed someone was in that second jungle Arena was when I was really mad at this Career for going after Soya, one of my allies. And that wasn't entirely on me, either - all of us were angry, beat Dylan to death, and didn't talk about it afterwards.
But if I had tried to kill the other finalists, would I have won?
Before I can think about it too much, I hear quick footsteps, and the door to my room opens. A medical person walks in.
"Can I help you with anything, Ally?" she asks. "Please don't scream unless it's a real emergency."
"I died in second place!" I yell, ignoring the nurse. "Second place! I saw it, Sammy was gone and Gidget was the only one left! Why couldn't I have won? Stupid death god!"
"I understand that dying in second place is rough," the nurse says carefully, "but you've been brought back for another chance. This time is different, though. There are only twenty-four tributes, one boy and one girl from each District."
"That doesn't make me much happier, ya know!" I yell angrily. "I was so close to going home to Mom, Dad, and Abby and now I have to go through the Games again if I want to do that." I realize something, and I frown. "What year is it? Please tell me Abby's okay."
My big sister was sixteen when I died the first time, and twenty-two the second time around. I suddenly realize that maybe so much time has passed that she isn't even alive.
I don't want to think about that possibility. Just like how I don't want to think about a lot of things.
"We're three months after the end of the 50th Games, or second Quarter Quell," the nurse answers. "Your sister is fine. Not that much time has passed since your last Games."
"Thank goodness," I sigh. "So who's here?"
A/N: Hi everyone who clicked on this story! I'm writing this to give one of my submitted tributes, Ally Tesla, the happy ending that I've wanted her to have for a long time. This is going to be a casual novella, probably between 10,000 and 50,000 words.
This story is a Resurrection Games that takes place in the LCS (LadyCordeliaStuart) SYOT universe and is compliant with that universe's canon. LadyCordeliaStuart was awesome enough to approve of this project. This Resurrection Games takes place between the 50th and 51st normal Games of the LCS universe, and the excuse is that after two Hunger Games with large amounts of tributes (the Fourth Resurrection Games and the Second Quarter Quell), the Capitol wanted to hold a Resurrection Games with the normal amount of tributes, twenty-four.
I'm accepting dead tributes, as long as they are your own and compliant with the LCS universe. This story is first-come, first-served, and you may submit as many tributes as you want. I don't have a set form, but please at least let me know your tributes' age and which Games number they originally participated in. If I don't receive all the tributes by the time I post the fourth chapter I'll just write this story using LCS universe-compliant tributes I create myself.
This story will be entirely from Ally's POV, so please keep that in mind when submitting tributes.
If you'd like to brush up on knowledge regarding the LCS universe, there's an LCS wiki link on my profile. The wiki is very much under construction but still has a lot of useful information. The wiki is below (remember to remove the spaces):
