This is the first hunger games where careers begin to come into play and although we will not be following them we will hear of the mysterious new tributes lurking through the arena.
Hunter Falkner POV-District 8, 17
My once healthy and exciting life is now in ruins and tatters, its sickening knowing that soon your death will come, slaughtered by someone who has also been forced into the brutal games. This year the arena was grasslands, grass upon grass upon grass upon grass, only one large water source that was safe and occasional shrubs and trees dotted the landscape but otherwise just grass. Other change this year which shocked everyone was the event of a volunteer, in fact TWO VOLUNTEERS! The boy and girl from district 2 had stepped forward onto the stage taking the reaped tributes positions, I quickly realised something fishy was going on the second that both of them got tens in training which totals as the highest score yet. I knew that I had to do everything to stay out of their way otherwise I would be sliced right through the middle!
It was day three and already only nine tributes remained, with twelve cannons at the bloodbath it seemed like the duo from two were busy right off the dot. I quickly took a backpack from the edge of the bloodbath and ran away west of the cornucopia. For these three days I have been uninterrupted with my small scrubland tree giving me the ultimate protection. Yesterday I sighted the sixteen year old girl from nine and I contemplated allying with her until I saw the scarlet red blood dripping off her serrated knife.
The day had just begun and the morning light poured through the arena with only the most well hidden pockets of darkness not being touched. I had only half a bottle of water left and I figured by the end of the day I would have to go to the lake which was only just in sight north of where I was. This torturous game has already turned so many of us into killers and for as long as possible I will try not to join that group who play the game that the Capitol make for us. With such a flat terrain it was easy to spot out tributes or other dangers and give myself a lot of time to run, hide or defend from the attacker, as I look out into the distance I see a small spec which wasn't there before and as it begins to move I realise that it is another tribute.
I grab my two hunting knives that I had found in my backpack and quietly hideout watching as the tribute comes nearer to my little campsite, closer and closer until I can begin to recognise it, definitely a girl with long blonde hair that has been plaited neatly. She looks exactly like the girl from ten who I had met up with at the training centre but shes dead. Only about fifty metres away now and I am positive it is the exact same girl but thats impossible; she's dead, I think to myself carefully and logically. I look behind me and notice another tribute creeping in from behind me. The District 1 boy. "What is this" I yell knowing that he was killed at the bloodbath as well. I saw them both die with my own two eyes I'm sure of it. 'Maybe it's just an optical illusion' I say to myself trying to calm myself down. Both tributes were holding weapons, the exact same that I had seen in there hands when they were murdered. Something was wrong and I had to act quickly, BOOM!,somewhere in the arena a cannon has just fired. I start to go into panic mode and I stop thinking in my normal logical sense, the two deceased tributes have reached the bottom of the tree and I am only perched 6 feet higher than the ground!
I grasp one of my hunting knives and throw it down at the boy who already had blood dripping down his face from a gaping hole where the spear had already gone through. My throw was a stupid move! It missed and now I was down to only one small hunting knife to defend against these two strong tributes. There bodies looked lifeless and dead yet they still moved and still attacked. The boys machete was swung up at me and I did well to dodge it and move further back on the tree branch, I then swung my knife down at him and this time inflicted a wound across his open skull and as he fell back down into the grass the girl from ten Marco I believe it was came up and attacked me with her spiked baton. I decided to make a leap off the branch and run for it, Marco followed but only at a fast paced walk, her toes dragged through the grass and sand slowing her down allowing me to get away. Finally I stopped running and lay down in a patch of tall grass, I let out a long sigh after a long and scary morning. I knew I had to find a way to the lake or another tree so I stood back up ready to keep going. As I got back on two feet I found myself standing face to face with the boy from two. "Crap!" I scream...
Hunter kills the boy from two in a lucky stab through the ribcage but was injured from the fight and was later picked off by the girl from nine who in turn was killed by the girl from two who became the victor of the 4th annual hunger games. Also just to clarify that the tributes were muttation that were meant to be similar to zombies. Hope you liked it and please review😃
