The 51st Annual Hunger Games (Violagirl23's version)

Toby Denham (17), District 10 Male

When I open my eyes and see the light of dawn, I get up, excited to see Sammie, and Aisha, my sisters. But then my eyes register the trees, numerous spider webs and the cloudy sky. This is not District Ten, with its plains and hot sun.

No, this is the arena of the 51st Hunger Games.

I have been in the arena for seven days, and will never come out.

Not a very optimistic thought, but true. In an arena where only one comes out alive, how will I, Toby Denham, a small seventeen-year-old boy survive? The answer? I won't. Not when there are Careers that have been training their entire life in this arena with me.

With this thought in mind, I awkwardly climb out the willow tree I slept in last night, and start trekking. I have no clue where to go, but I know that wherever I go, I must avoid the Careers. Their camp is in the valley between the two forested mountains of our arena, so I head uphill.

As I walk, I see several spider webs. Some of the webs have have spiders in them, and I involuntarily shiver at the sight of the spider. They are muttations as big as a grown man's hand, with eerie white marks on their black bodies, and a slow, painful, fatal bite. I had unfortunately watched the girl from District 6, Coriander, get bitten on the second day, and the images of her death still haunt my memory.

I shake my head in an effort to stop thinking about Coriander. If I don't stop, I will unwittingly walk into one of the many spider webs, and suffer a death just as painful as hers.

I notice I have reached one of the many streams on the mountain, so I take a minute fill up my water bottle. But halfway through, I feel a tickling on the back of my shoulder, so I turn around to swat what I think is a fly or a wasp away.

But it is not a fly nor a wasp. It is a muttation spider.

Every muscle in my body tenses up in fear. I want to swat the spider away, but I can't. What must Sammie and Aisha be thinking now? Will I die by spider bite? Oh no. I don't want to die. I can't die! I'm only seventeen!

At that moment, the spider tenses up, and leaps off my shoulder and into my water bottle.

The fear coursing though my body turns into irritation. The last thing I need is to lose my only water bottle! I have no clue if the spider's body is venomous, but I don't want to risk drinking water from that bottle. But I don't want to throw it away either, so I (stupidly?) screw up the bottle with the spider inside and hold it in my hands. Then, I start trudging uphill again.

"Could this day get any worse?" I grumble to myself.

But that must have been the wrong thing to think. Because I then hear a pack of five or six people running. I turn around and see all six Careers running at full sprint to me.

Oh, great.

I can't outrun them, so I do the next best thing. I climb a tree, which all the Careers then cluster around.

"Hey, it's another victim!" the boy from District 1 jeers at me.

"Yeah!" his district partner agrees. "Hey kid! Wanna die by knife or spear?"

"How about not at all?" I nervously say. The chances of them taking me up on that suggestion is less than zero, but I want to prolong my inevitable death as long as possible.

The Careers laugh, just as I expected.

But what I don't expect is for both of the tributes from District 1, both of whom scored nines to climb my tree. Fully armed with lethal weapons.

I scream and start panicking. I can't die! I have no clue how to stop the Careers' pursuit, so I throw my water bottle at them, in a weak attempt to stop them.

The bottle doesn't fall on them, of course. It instead pops open about ten branches above their heads, and douses them in water.

The girl looks doubly as murderous, but the boy just laughs and says "Look Splendor. He's trying to drown us! Pathetic!"

Splendor rolls her eyes, and is about to respond, but inexplicably starts screaming loud enough to wake the dead.

I recoil at her screams, stupidly wondering if this is some method of Career torture.

But then I see the black spider on Splendor's shoulder, and I understand why she is screaming.

However, her district partner doesn't, and starts shaking her, and demanding why she is acting like this.

But the spider then bites him, and he starts screaming louder than Splendor, if that's possible.

The other careers, the tributes from Two, the girl from Four and the boy from Seven run away from my tree, obviously fearing they will suffer the same fate as their former allies.

In the chaos, I jump out of the tree, feeling strengthened and euphoric.

I, Toby Denham, just killed two Careers. The odds were stacked against me, but I beat them.

With my spiders, I will win these Games.

After his encounter with the careers, Toby captured two more spiders in his water bottle, then made a smokey fire the next day to attract the remaining Careers. The Careers came, and Toby set the spiders on them, causing all of the Careers to die, except the girl from Two. Then Toby, the girl from Two, and the boy from Nine were the only ones left. District 2 killed District 9, leaving only one person in the way of victory for Toby. In the final showdown, Toby dropped five spider muttations on District 2, ensuring his victory and giving the Capitol audience a gruesome death to watch. To this day, Toby is known in the Capitol as "Spider-Man Denham". But he prefers Toby, because the name Spider-Man reminds him of the arena.
