Authors Note: So if you've read this far you're probably thinking that none of the past victors have been mentioned yet, I haven't forgotten them and am going to write Mags' Hunger games soon. Also by the time Haymitch wins the Hunger Games, there will be no other victors from District 12. xxx

10th Hunger Games

Winner: Stork District 8

This year was of particular importance as it was the first year that the last two tributes were from the same district – District 8. It was a very difficult time for District 8 to have to watch both their tributes reach the final two. Surely this was something worth celebrating, the victor would definitely be from District 8! But the victor would have to live with seeing the family of the other tribute that they had killed every day, knowing that they were responsible for that family's grief. It would be hard but it was better than having no tribute return home. But who would it be? Stork or Twyla?

When the two names were called out at the reaping for District 8, both Stork and Twyla were slightly comforted as they both knew each other quite well and it would be nice to have a friendly face in the Capitol, even if they would be enemies in the arena. District 8 didn't have a mentor at this point so Stork and Twyla depended on each other for advice and support. In the training they went round separately, each trying a little bit of everything and after talking about it afterwards they discovered a common interest. Snares. Being from District 8 which specialises in textiles, Stork and Twyla had no real experience with snares but they were both good with their hands so were both good at setting up the complicated traps. They both decided they would use snares as their way to kill as neither were brilliant with weapons. But they couldn't both use snares – they'd end up being the last two and as much as Stork and Twyla wanted to survive, they weren't going to kill each other. So what should they do? It was Stork who came up with the idea. They could work together and make an alliance with each other. District 1 had done it in past years so why shouldn't they? Stork and Twyla would work well as a team as they knew each other and had the same strengths and weaknesses. At first, Twyla was unconvinced that this idea would stop them both reaching the final two but she came around when Stork suggested that they could always split up if it got down to the last few tributes. So it was decided. Stork and Twyla would help each other out.

The arena this year was a vast forest with lots of different animals and plants which would be a good source of food for a tribute if they knew what to eat. When the gong sounded Stork sprinted off to get some supplies which were further out from the Cornucopia and Twyla ran up to defend him against anyone else to show that they were a team. When Stork had grabbed them a sleeping bag and a bottle of water each they ran off into the forest to work out what to do.

After distancing themselves from the other tributes, Stork and Twyla stopped for a quick break while they decided what to do. By now, they were well into the forest where there were many animals and somewhere nearby a river as they had heard the sound of rushing water earlier. Twyla went off in search of water and returned about 10 minutes later with the river not being very far away from where they were sitting.

She had re-filled their bottles of water and they sat there resting as darkness began to creep in and the cannons sounded for the fallen tributes from the bloodbath. Neither Twyla or Stork spoke, they sat in silence for a while until Stork said

"We need a plan, we cant stay here for ever. Eventually the other tributes will come this far out and find us." Twyla nodded

"The first thing we need to do is get some food and I think we should use snares to do it. And then…maybe we could set a few snares up to …trap other tributes." There was an awkward silence and Twyla looked horrified with what she had just said but Stork knew she just wanted to survive this. He felt exactly the same.

The next morning, with growling stomachs, Twyla and Stork set up some simple snares in the hope of catching some animals as in the meantime they could only eat a blue berry that Twyla could remember from the Training. They were in luck and caught two rabbits and a squirrel. Both Twyla and Stork were well fed, had enough to drink and were well rested. They had no real need to stay so far away from the rest of the other tributes anymore, so they headed back towards the Cornucopia to set up a few snares designed to trap the other tributes. Once the tribute was trapped they wouldn't last long as they'd become dehydrated or be finished off by another tribute. It was grim work but both Twyla and Stork felt better knowing they wouldn't actually have to kill the tribute. They set a few up not far from the Cornucopia and then headed back to the river where they spent the night taking turns to watch and listening for any more cannons. 2 went off in the night.

The next morning, Stork and Twyla went to check their snares and found that two of their snares had been sprung which explained the two cannons in the night. Both tributes had actually been killed by another tribute. Although the pair were shocked about what they'd done, they were delighted that their snares worked and set up a few more around the Cornucopia, staying away from the other tributes at all times. Stork had a close shave with another tribute when he was collecting food. The male tribute from District 1 came out of nowhere armed with weapons and Stork had no choice but to run dodging his own snares with the District 1 tribute in hot pursuit and throwing knives. Fortunately just as one of the knives nicked Stork's ear the District 1 tribute got caught up in one of Stork's traps and Stork had to kill him with one of the tributes weapons as it was extremely likely that this strong, big tribute would escape one of Stork's weaker traps.

Day after day Stork and Twyla continued to set up snares for food and other tributes and hiding out by the river at night. But when it got down to only a few tributes left, Twyla began to consider leaving Stork so they wouldn't make it down to the final two together. Stork begged her not to leave as he didn't want to be alone and Twyla agreed to stay with every intention of leaving. That night Twyla took the first watch and left whilst Stork slept. She intended to make some snares of her own and if Stork walked into one… well in the end there could only be one winner and as much as Twyla didn't want to kill Stork she would if she had to. Stork was angry and upset that Twyla had left him but continued his daily ritual of checking his snares and building a few more each day. With two sets of snares set up all over the forest, the other tributes could barely take a step without being trapped so it was really no surprise when Twyla and Stork became the final two. District 8 would have a victor.

The finale took place by the Cornucopia. Realising they were the only two left, Stork wanted to avoid Twyla's snares and Twyla wanted to avoid Stork's snares so the only safe ground for either of them was the area around the Cornucopia. Stork arrived first and prowled around the Cornucopia brandishing a spear waiting to see what Twyla would do. Maybe they could talk and work this out; he had no intention of killing someone he knew. Unfortunately Twyla did not feel the same as she wanted to go home and she made her presence known by sending a volley of arrows, she had taken from a trapped tribute, towards Stork. He dodged them and hid behind the Cornucopia as she advanced holding a sword. Before either of them realised what was happening, Twyla had a spear in her side. She fell to the ground and laid there for some time before she died as Stork stood watching, unable to move in shock. He'd just won the Hunger Games by killing someone he knew and would now have to live with that back in District 8 for the rest of his life.
