73 Games that Came & Went

by Skyheart033

We all know about the 74th and 75th Hunger Games, but what about the stories we were never told? What about the Hunger Games that were forgotten? This is where you can read about the arenas that were abandoned and the tributes who were lost in time. These are the stories of the 73 other Hunger Games. *Not following the events of canon Games* 29/73

12. 11th Hunger Games - Icy Plains

THE 11TH HUNGER GAMES

The Hunger Games were satisfactory by their eleventh year, but the Capitol just felt that there was no drive behind the Victors. Last year's winner, Melody Brighte, was even crying during her last kill. So, they make things a little more interesting, and President Snow adds in a new law: that all Victors receive a large sum of money for their win.

There were mixed reactions in the Districts. Some were excited: maybe if they got picked and they won, they could get their family out of poverty? And at least there was a reward other than a big house and a lonely village.

But the previous Victors were mostly angry to discover that they didn't get any money at all. Six of them – Seth Fairpine, Midas Redfold, Laria Barr, Hestia Blaine, Traff Fletcher and Ambro Fray – started to speak out against the Capitol's decision, asking for their own payments. They said it wasn't fair that only Victors from this year on could get paid, and they were left still with grueling jobs and a house they couldn't even afford to keep, in most cases.

THE LANDSCAPE

The tributes rise into a bitterly cold, flat plain, covered in ice. There is no shelter to be seen, and the tributes are freezing already in the steady gale that blows over the exposed ice. A few seconds later, a blizzard begins. There is nothing at all in this arena except for ice and snow.

THE CORNUCOPIA

The Cornucopia is almost invisible in the never-ending snow, and is filled with all sorts of goodies including food, water and even blankets and quilts. It is also stuffed with weapons such as swords and bow and arrows.

THE GAMES

The tributes stare around at their new arena, most remember the 7th Hunger Games, which had a very similar arena. Then, as the loud gong rings out, the Bloodbath commences.

The Careers take out four tributes in five minutes: Annabell, Threader, Larkon and finally Pika. A fifth kill is made as Cindya attacks her District partner, Barley, and shoves his face into the snow, suffocating him in the soft white ground. Finally, Uist stabs Casey and so ends the rather short Bloodbath.

Most of the tributes grab as much as they can and run away. Unsurprisingly, no tributes have chosen to run away without supplies, but it's also surprising that there weren't more kills made because of that.

An alliance is created very quickly as Cindya and Uist, two of the early killers, form a truce and share their supplies. They plan to kill off some of the weaker tributes first, then recruit another member and finally attack the Careers. Ambitious, but it could work with their abilities.

Meanwhile, the last death of the day happens as Telle dies from a new mutt: snow gnats, flying white insects that attack anything that moves and induce severe hallucinations before killing their target. In fact, they are very similar to tracker-jackers, but thrive in cold climates. They are also hard to spot as they look like flakes of snow, but usually travel in a swarm.

24th – Annabell Tackters, District 10 female

23rd – Threader Pinn, District 8 male

22nd – Larkon Whispe, District 12 male

21st – Pika Harding, District 4 female

20th – Barley Cleggman, District 9 male

19th – Casey Fence, District 6 female

18th – Telle Normandy, District 3 female

Day 2 dawns with a death that happened at night. It appears that Cindya and Uist attacked and killed Olivor in the cover of darkness.

The Careers move out onto the snowy plains to look for targets, as do Cindya and Uist. Meanwhile, Beada finds a snow cave and shelters inside, hungry and thirsty.

Later in the day, Tay is attacked by snow gnats. Although he escapes, he wanders around the snow, hallucinating badly. Finally he falls and doesn't get up.

17th – Olivor Thickett, District 11 male

16th – Tay Hassett, District 5 male

Day 3 passes peacefully. Nobody is suffering from dehydration, but a lot of tributes have low supplies, and finally Felicity decides to venture back to the Cornucopia. There, she meets Ellana, the other twelve year-old, who had the same idea. Unwilling to kill each other, they make an alliance and make a shelter at the Cornucopia.

Day 4 sees another kill from the Careers – they find Jasmine's shelter and Noble kills her slowly and painfully while the others gloat and cheer him on.

15th – Jasmine Frende, District 11 female

Day 5 passes without deaths. Ryamo suffers from hunger, along with Granite, Zachry and Leyo.

Day 6 sees another death from snow gnats – Zachry. With 13 tributes left now, things are pulling along quite slowly, so the Gamemakers decide it's time to shake things up a bit. They make Beada's snow-shelter collapse, forcing her to move away, and as the day ends, they create a mini-earthquake, burying Ryamo and Bramble in snow. They both die after a few minutes of suffocation.

14th – Zachry Stickes, District 10 male

13th – Ryamo Gust, District 3 male

12th – Bramble Yew, District 7 female

Days 7 and 8 pass peacefully, while Felicity and Ellana's food slowly runs out and the Careers plan their next steps. Cindya and Uist start to argue over food, but it dies down after a few minutes. Meanwhile, Granite trudges through the snow, suffering from severe exhaustion, thirst and hunger.

Day 9 brings the inevitable death of Granite and also the demise of Leyo, who is killed by snow gnats.

11th – Granite Rutherford, District 6 male

10th – Leyo Brownwood, District 7 male

Day 10 dawns with 9 tributes left and high tensions. Cindya and Uist go tribute-hunting, taking the last of their food with them. They reach the Cornucopia in a few hours, only to find Felicity and Ellana sheltering there. Cindya sends a knife hurtling into Felicity's head, while Ellana shrieks and tries to escape. However, she only gets a few steps before Uist grabs her and decapitates her.

The last two deaths of the day occur when the Careers are attacked by snow gnats sent by the Gamemakers. Rubi and Vacka are both killed as Noble and Bayonet manage to escape with a few bites, leaving their allies for dead.

Meanwhile, Beada rations her supplies and hides out.

9th – Felicity Edison, District 5 female

8th – Ellana Sainter, District 12 female

7th – Rubi Price, District 1 female

6th – Vacka Mercury, District 2 female

Day 11 comes and goes with no deaths. Noble and Bayonet are worried about their low supplies. Cindya and Uist contemplate who to kill next.

Beada, terrified of these four killers, prays silently that they will fight it out together and that she will win.

Day 12 dawns with a flurry of snow that is surprisingly thick. Cindya and Uist track down and kill Beada with much celebration, then plan to kill Noble and Bayonet next. What happens next, they decide, will be Fate.

5th – Beada Kettle, District 8 female

Day 13 – unlucky for some, it seems, as Noble dies unexpectedly of snow gnat bites. Shocked, Bayonet realizes that it's him against Cindya and Uist, and, too frightened and weak to face them, he kills himself with his knife.

4th – Noble Blayde, District 1 male

3rd – Bayonet Crackstone, District 2 male

Day 14, however, never arrives. As they settle down to sleep and 'sort things out in the morning', Cindya takes out her knife and stabs Uist repeatedly in the chest, smiling cruelly to herself.

As his cannon shot rings out, Cindya doesn't stop stabbing, even as blood covers her thin face. Finally, she rests the knife on Uist's chest and smirks at the sky as her hovercraft descends from the sky.

THE VICTOR

Cindya Graychime – District 9 female

THE AFTERMATH

Cindya was one of the more bloodthirsty Victors of the early Games, and her winning moment was well-remembered. Her District was a little scared of her, but they accepted her all the same and some even admired her for staying so strong despite all the people she had killed. The truth was, Cindya was a psychopath, and she didn't even care that she had killed 5 people in 13 days, and she was emotionless, why was President Snow loved her. She was almost a representative of the Games. However, she refused to be interviewed or be put on TV.

FAMILY INTERVIEW

Cindya seemingly grew up in an orphanage, with no family to take care of her. Her dormitory Matron is the only person who seems willing to speak about her. "Cindya was always a very…violent child," she says with pursed lips. "We tried to stop her tendancies with punishments, but they never worked. At least they have worked in her favor." Her Matron was asked what Cindya might do with the Victory money. "I have no idea," the woman replies. "We don't associate with the children."

A/N: So that was Cindya's Games…she's kinda like a female version of Laxander from the 8th, and I imagined them being quite good friends.
