Winter Horror Land: The 167th Hunger Games Chapter 36: The Announcement, a hunger games fanfic

Here is chapter 36 everyone! Please enjoy! and please please review it's not that hard!

Aeriel Pavorotti, District 4 POV

It was currently day eight in the arena and I was only getting more anxious. Day eight was almost over now and it was starting to get dark. This was probably the most uneventful day in the arena by far. There was a cannon earlier this morning though so maybe there was some action somewhere today. A cannon meant that someone else had died, but I wouldn't know who it was until later tonight. There were only six of us left and I knew things were going to start getting interesting.

I was currently walking by myself in the forest in between the ice caves and the cornucopia. I didn't have any more allies. The only allies I could think of were Pivon, Sapphire, and Andrew; but they were all dead now. I knew for sure that Damian would try to kill me if he saw me so I couldn't form another alliance with him. I betrayed him and I still felt very guilty about the whole thing.

Raphony was the only Career left besides me, but I betrayed him as well so I was pretty sure he would also try to kill me if he saw me. The girl from District seven pretty much hated everyone so she was out of the question. The girl from District nine might be a good alliance member, but I didn't know where she was. The girl from District ten might be good, but I hadn't seen her at all either except for when I found her sleeping near the ice caves. The last person I could think of was the boy from District three. I killed his District partner so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't enjoy seeing me. Wasn't there anyone out there who would take me?

I had been snooping around the cornucopia all day, and I had found Raphony sitting on a burnt log. I assumed that someone had burned all the supplies. I had enough supplies though so I was in pretty good shape. I still had one spear and an axe that I had taken off the District ten girl. Raphony had been pacing back and forth all day so I left because I got too bored watching him.

I kept walking through the forest and I decided to sit down against a tree trunk. I put my weapons and supplies down and I plopped down onto the ground. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a second before I opened them again suddenly. A voice had suddenly started speaking loudly throughout the area around me. It sounded very loud and I recognized it as the voice of "Calibur Natradame." He was the current announcer of the Hunger Games.

"Attention, attention tributes." Calibur's voice sounded out loudly. "We congratulate all of you for making it to the final six. You have all fought very hard and valiantly, and we have acknowledged your skills, your fighting spirit, and your determination to survive."

I continued to look blankly up into the open sky even though there wasn't anything to see. I was very nervous right now, and my body was shivering a little from the rigid cold air that surrounded me. I thought it was slightly funny how they were congratulating us. Why didn't they just wait to do that until they had a winner? I continued to sit down as Calibur's voice still sounded out around me.

"To award you for making it this far we have decided to give all of you a present." Calibur said. "There are six presents in all, and each of these special items will be in a bag labeled with your District number. These items will guarantee you a better chance of winning these games so I invite all of you to come and retrieve them."

Special items? I wonder what he meant by special items? I already had more than enough supplies to survive for a t least another week or longer. If this item helped me win though then I couldn't give up on the offer they were giving me.

"The feast will commence at sunrise tomorrow at the cornucopia." Calibur's voice echoed again. "Each of the items will be raised up into the arena on a table, and they will only be available for ten minutes before the table is taken back down. So I hope you will all make a wise decision and attend. Good luck to all of you, and may the odds be ever in your favor."

Calibur's voice soon stopped and all went silent again. I looked around the area, and it was now almost dark enough to not see within a hundred feet. I quickly got to my feet and gathered my supplies and picked my two weapons up. I started making my way to the cornucopia because I needed to win these Games. I needed to survive, and attending this feast would only increase my chances of doing just that.

Damian Platurkk, District 11 POV

I wasn't really sure what time of day it was, but I knew it was getting late. I was currently in the ice caves still so I didn't how dark outside it was. I had heard a cannon go off earlier today so that meant another tribute died today. I was honestly hoping that someone killed Aeriel. She betrayed me and killed Andrew. She deceived us and she needed to pay.

Things had been really slow and boring today, but I only guessed that there was some action somewhere earlier today if someone had died. I knew for a fact that Aeriel wouldn't go down without a fight. I guess the rest of the tributes had already proven that they wouldn't go down without a fight either because they were all still alive. I sure knew that I wouldn't go down without a fight.

I was currently sitting in a little room by myself. I had all my supplies lying around me on the cold cave floor. I was making sure I had enough supplies to survive for the rest of the games, but I knew I had more than enough. Scattered around me I had four full water bottles, two pocket knifes, some rope, some coil wire, a sleeping bag, a blanket, a first aid kit, and my chocolate brown coat that I had taken off.

Also around me were my weapons. I had my spear, a trident that I stole from District four, a small sword that belonged to Andrew, and Sapphire's boomerang. I was organizing everything when all of a sudden a loud booming voice started echoing through the caves.

So I guess it was finally time then. They were going to make an announcement of a feast. One always happened near the end of the Hunger Games, and one always resulted in at least one death. They were trying to lure us into a trap. I was expecting a feast to happen sometime soon.

They had a special item for each of us? I wonder what kind of items they were? I really didn't need much more since I had more than enough supplies, but what if this item guaranteed my victory? Was it a chance worth taking? I wasn't sure.

The sound of Calibur's voice disappeared and silence took his place. I only sat there on the cold cave floor. I was unsure what to make of this situation. If I went then there was a good chance that I could be killed, but there was also the chance of getting something special that would help me win. What should I do? I finally smiled as I made my final decision. I was going to go to the feast. I was going to go so I could kill Aeriel.

Luca Vassera, District 3 POV

It was getting dark fast and I didn't really have anywhere to go. I was currently in the forest between the cornucopia and the snow valley. I went to the beach earlier today but the water from the ocean was near the trees. I guess it was high tide or something.

I was now sitting up in a high tree and was hidden behind lots of branches in case someone decided to come snooping around. My legs were dangling from the big branch I was sitting on and I was swinging them back and forth. I took a quick sip of water and then put the water bottle back in my bag. My mind was traveling through various thoughts and memories. I wonder who died earlier today? There was no way of knowing until later tonight.

I continued swinging my legs as I looked around the dimly lit white forest. I really wanted to know where all the animals had gone off to? There wasn't a single one in sight. Maybe they all ran off somewhere? I thought animals only ran away when they sensed danger or something. Oh well this place is plenty dangerous anyway. I suddenly looked around my surroundings as I heard a voice booming somewhere in the area.

The announcer of the Games "Calibur" was now speaking from nowhere. I guess he was announcing something. I turned my full attention to his voice as I listened intently and focused on every word he said.

I squinted my eyes and thought hard about what he just said. So apparently the Capitol was giving us something that would help us win. I really wondered what item they would specifically give me to help me win these Games. I decided to stop thinking about it too much as I started listening to Calibur's words again.

The voice of Calibur finally stopped and all that was once silent returned once again to the surrounding area. I noticed that my legs were no longer swinging back and forth and I also noticed that I was gripping my mallet tightly in my hand. I was all alone in this arena now and I knew that I couldn't win against the rest of the tributes. They were all too strong for me. I needed whatever was in that bag. I needed to win these Games.

Grace Jaelson, District 9 POV

It was now getting dark in the arena and night was on its way. We would be seeing the girl from District ten's face in the sky tonight. There hadn't been any more cannons since hers went off so that meant there were still four other tributes out there besides Cherri and I. I honestly never thought that both Cherri and I would make it to the final six.

Cherri and I were currently walking somewhere in the forest between the ocean and the cornucopia. We were walking side by side and Cherri had been telling me about District seven. She told me that District seven was high in the mountains and that there were many forests. District nine didn't have much trees; it just had fields and factories mostly. I did hear somewhere thought hat District nine was the best District for watching the sunset.

I was surprised that I could hear the wind blowing. Everything was just so quiet. Cherri had told me that she hadn't seen any animals for at least a day, and now that she told me I actually noticed it. I wondered where all the animals had run off to? I hadn't seen any muttations in a while either. Did the Capitol do something to them? Or did they just run off?

"So how much longer do you think these Games will last?" I ask Cherri quietly.

Cherri looks at me for a second and then looks back in front of her. She takes a deep breath before she answers me.

"I'm not sure Grace." Cherri says. "There are only six of us left. I would say five more days top. We could never know though. I guess they will just end when they end."

"What if it gets down to just the two of us?" I ask nervously.

"Let's not think of that right now." Cherri says. "We will talk about it when we actually get to the final two."

I don't reply. I just turn my head back around forwards and stare off into the distance. What if it did come down to just Cherri and I? What would I do then? Would she sacrifice herself for me? I didn't know. I suddenly stop in my tracks and grab a hold of Cherri's hand. We both look at each other as a voice booms loudly from all around us.

Cherri and I look away from each other but we don't let go of each other's hand. We look around us for a source of the voice, but we eventually figure out that he wouldn't actually be in the arena with us. If he were here then we would probably just kill him or something.

Cherri and I look at each other again and we can both tell that the other is both nervous and curious. Our eyes wander from each other again as the voice of Calibur continues to speak out.

The voice of Calibur finally stops and the eerie silence resumes in our ears. Cherri and I look at each other again as we let go of each other's hand. We are both speechless for a second and I felt a little nervous. My hands were shaking a little at the thought of going to a feast.

"So what are we going to do?" I ask Cherri. "Should we go?"

"I think we need to." Cherri says. "Calibur said they each had special items for us to win. If we get our own then we will have two of those special items. We would actually have a good chance of winning these Games."

"Yeah we would." I say silently. "But what about the other tributes? Raphony is still out there somewhere. He will probably be waiting to kill us after what we did to his allies."

"I won't let him hurt me." Cherri says. "And I will make sure that he doesn't even touch a single strand of hair on your head."

I smile warmly and we both take each other's hand again. We start to walk towards the cornucopia and my anxiety starts to get the best of me. My smile fades from my face and I try my best to hide it from Cherri. I stare at the ground as my mind wanders to the feast. Someone always dies at a feast. I don't think there was ever a feast where someone didn't die.

What could these special items be? Would they really help us win these Games? Or could it have just been a lie to get all the tributes in one place? I couldn't know for sure, but I was hoping that these special items would be worth it.

We continued to walk for about another three hours and we finally made our way to the forests' edge. We looked up at the hill where the cornucopia was and I wondered if anyone was already up there waiting even though it was only midnight. The anthem suddenly started playing and the Capitol seal shone brightly down onto us. Cherri and I watched carefully as the girl from District ten's face appeared in the sky. The anthem soon ended and all went quiet. All there was to do now was wait because at sunrise tomorrow there will be a feast.
