10. 9th Hunger Games - Foggy Fairyland

THE 9TH HUNGER GAMES

Similarly to that of the year before, the year of the 9th Hunger Games was quiet. The Districts were now accustomed to the Games, but that didn't mean they liked it any better than before. Meanwhile in the Capitol, things were stirring up. The First Lady was ill, and nobody knew how to cure her. Five months before the start of the Games, the First Lady died of a terrible, mysterious illness. Suddenly, all over the city, Capitolites were dropping everywhere, all showing the same symptoms as the first victim. The virus soon spread into the Districts, and of course was even harder to contain there. One month before the Games, so many people had died that the Districts started rioting again, demanding an effort from the Capitol to cure their friends and families.

Finally, after much thought, the Capitol government decided that it was best for their city to keep the workers alive, and so sent down medicines in little parcels. The rioting died down almost instantly and soon most people had been cured. However, there were often big fights over medicine packages, which led to more whippings and other punishments by Peacekeepers. And, of course, the Districts' struggles were far from over: the 9th Hunger Games was about to begin.

THE LANDSCAPE

The tributes are met with a wondrous, fairytale-like scene – a stretch of huge meadows and forests filled with fairy lights and a swirling mist. The meadows are filled with huge flowers, and the trees are mostly stumps. There seems to be very little water, but lots of shelter. It seems benign and even dreamy, but it is all designed to lull the tributes into a false sense of security.

THE CORNUCOPIA

The Cornucopia holds a bounty of food and only a little water, but also is stocked with weapons. However, there are no long-range weapons like bows, throwing axes/knives, spears or slingshots.

THE GAMES

The Bloodbath starts off slowly, with most tributes in awe of the beautiful arena. However, blood is soon spilled as Koro and Cooper get into a fight. Cooper stabs Koro with his new knife, sparking the flames of the Bloodbath.

The Careers surprisingly only kill three tributes this year: Circe and Collis both killed by Ferdinand, and Ginn taken out by Kilda, who has joined the pack this year.

The remaining twenty tributes spread out across the misty landscape, with a surprising four more deaths occurring as the Careers hunt down and kill Nairon, Todde, Maraya and Mistie.

By mid afternoon, two new alliances are made: Aeva and Pippa, who share their supplies. A little later, Cooper is attacked by the Careers, but manages to hold off Kilda, who is fighting him. The Careers admire his techniques and also remember that he made the first kill, so they let him join the group.

24th – Koro Murkwaters, District 11 male

23rd – Circe Thatcher, District 10 female

22nd – Collis Brayne, District 12 male

21st – Nairon Cammers, District 7 male

20th – Todde Wynn, District 5 male

19th – Maraya Kolball, District 5 female

18th – Mistie Naminn, District 12 female

Day 2 is quiet, with most tributes focusing on finding food, water and shelter. Calico and Flax make an alliance, and set off across the arena, back towards the Cornucopia, to find water. Although most tributes are too scared to come out of hiding, Aeva and Pippa seem confident enough to explore.

Day 3 dawns with extreme heat, and the sun seems to almost grow in size. Many tributes become sun-burnt and some even collapse from heat exhaustion. However, nobody dies, although those without water are in huge danger.

Day 4 comes, and there are no surprises as five tributes drop from dehydration: Aeva, Pippa, Dina, Ceph and Brunn. Meanwhile, Mazia finds the Cornucopia and takes out a weapon for herself.

17th – Aeva Bracken, District 7 female

16th – Pippa Friarton, District 11 female

15th – Dina Fitzgerald, District 5 female

14th – Ceph Justice, District 4 male

13th – Brunn Cornhill, District 9 male

Day 5 passes slowly, with no more deaths and already half the tributes dead. The Careers continue to search for other tributes, while most stay in hiding. Gabriello dies of dehydration in the evening of Day 6.

12th – Gabriello Strawes, District 10 male

Day 7 starts with excitement as the mist that covers the arena floor turns dark red and acidic. Burning every piece of skin it encounters, it finishes off four of the Careers (leaving Kilda and Ferdinand) and both Calico and Flax.

11th – Sasha Dissalan, District 1 female

10th – Jerron Stonn, District 2 male

9th – Cooper Foyntill, District 6 male

8th – Dawnia Ringstead, District 2 female

7th – Calico Brantings, District 8 female

6th – Flax Wickerton, District 8 male

Day 8 arrives and it appears that Tekka, one of the cleverest tributes, has somehow managed to capture some of the poisonous mist in her empty water bottle. She walks along through the now-harmless mist, looking for victims. Meanwhile, Kilda and Ferdinand get into an argument over food. It doesn't seem like their alliance is very secure.

Day 9 comes and goes with no more deaths. Mazia almost gets caught by Tekka, but wrestles the bottle out of her hand and slices her arm. Tekka runs away and Mazia takes her bottle.

Day 10 arrives, and there are still five tributes left. Ginn, who has remained hidden for a long time, comes out of his shelter and explores a little, looking for water. Unfortunately for him, he is attacked by Mazia, who stabs him and leaves him to die.

5th – Ginn Jameston, District 3 male

Day 11 dawns with the Final Four decided: Mazia, Tekka, Kilda and Ferdinand. In a sudden turn of events, Kilda stabs Ferdinand in the back, literally, and steals his supplies before running off.

4th – Ferdinand Liquor, District 1 male

Tekka goes into hiding, hoping that the other two will fight it out. Luckily for her, that's what happens. Mazia sees smoke from Kilda's fire and approaches, hoping to ambush her. She succeeds, but after a lengthy fight, Mazia is weakened by numerous injuries and finally Kilda throttles her.

Despite her kill, Kilda is bleeding from many cuts and she is exhausted. It looks like Tekka will have an easy Victory, so the Gamemakers decide to make things interesting. They bring out a mutt that has been reserved for special occasions: a giant caterpillar, which explores the arena, searching for any living humans.

In less than an hour, Kilda is discovered by the caterpillar. The Capitol are eager to see this mutt, as it apparently creates bloody and violent deaths, and Kilda's is no different. The mini bloodbath goes on for many minutes before her cannon finally sounds and Tekka is crowned Victor.

THE VICTOR

Tekka Noreal – District 3 female

THE AFTERMATH

Tekka went completely insane after her time in the arena and was promptly forced into a mental asylum soon after her Victory. There she spent the rest of her days, and never saw her family or friends again. There are many rumors about her, such as that she was made into a mutt, or experimented upon. However, these conspiracy theories have never been proven, and it's all a mystery.

FAMILY INTERVIEW

Tekka's family seems to consist of her aunt and uncle, who both look shell-shocked. "We never expected our little darling to make it out alive, to be honest," her aunt, Marjora, says through a face streaming with tears. "And now…well, they're saying that she has to go to the Capitol for special treatment…" Her uncle refused to speak on behalf of his wife, and remained silent.

A/N: The 9th Hunger Games, with Tekka as our most recent Victor. Hope you all enjoyed it!
