Chapter 2: When One Makes Ideas. A section in the book called The Blood Games Story - Written by Patrick Roseforge.
The 2nd Hunger Games.
The first Games weren't as dramatic or entertaining as the ones in the future. It was planned to be short and bloody, which it was. The second Hunger Games, however, was when I broadened my horizons. I mean, who wants a small arena? Why would watching twenty-four children killing each other in less than an hour be fun? No, that would be boring and repetitive.
I varied the Hunger Games scores from now on. 12 and 11 will be scores that'll be harder to get.
For the most part, the tributes now are recorded since interviews became a thing. Charlie Darlington, a brave and famous news reporter became the new and charismatic interviewer for the HG. And he was for a long time.
The tributes were most interesting this year. The first thing to mention was a premade alliance. All former rebel soldiers and the highest scorers teamed up to make the terrifying pack of four. Arabella from 4, Dalton and Lara from 6, and Roman from 11. Arabella was a silent, reserved girl, but with impressive skills in swords and footwork. She's also the first volunteer. Arabella volunteered to save her younger sister when she was reaped. This made her more memorable in the HG. Dalton was easily the strongest tribute, I mean, he was so buff I thought he was taking steroids. Lara was the youngest and smallest of the group, but quick and good with a now and arrow. Lastly Roman, the leader of this wolf pack(as viewers were naming it), a charming handsome boy with expert skills in almost every weapon. They were the most fearsome on the bunch this year.
The other tributes differed. Markas and Sophie from 1 only got their scores because of advice from Fjord(last year's victor who decided to mentor the two, something that continues later). Hercules from 2 was the toughest outside the wolf pack, but his district partner Ashley was a major problem. Ashley was also a rebel soldier but was more against the Games and more outspoken. The interview didn't go well, and no one liked her honesty against the Capitol. In any case, Ian from 4 was a chubby spoiled brat. Paula from 7 was funny and her skills with an ax helped. Eddie from 9 was a charming boy. Ray from 10, despite his age and strength, suffered from depression and it was doubtful that he'll win. Carolina from 10 was an innocent girl who didn't seem to understand her position. May from 11 was the mayor's daughter and pleased the Capitol with her humor and compliments in her interview. Others weren't so interesting.

President Alex's Bet: Arabella Tamon. I wanted to think my brother has an interest in the silent killer woman, but he told me that Arabella has this shrewd look in her eyes. He had confidence in her skills than the other tributes.
Head Gamemaker Patrick's Bet: Dalton Coldbelt. I was simpler minded back than, thinking the strongest was the best. He has good odds, better than the others, but nothing is certain.
-THE GAMES-
I did what I thought was right. I'm not proud of much, but my arenas were something to be proud of.
The arena was larger. The center, which I named the cornucopia, a large house-sized hut, was a half-mile large. The tributes were on launch pads around the cornucopia. The center was styled geographically as a circle.
Anyway, north of it came with mountains(also a volcano), north-west was an island, the west was a ruined town with a large nuclear plant, the south was a large farm that looked like it came from a horror movie. There are also roads in all directions with busted cars as decoration.
The tributes were told this, including that the cornucopia was filled with weapons and supplies.
Every tribute wants that.
All of them ready, all of the nervous, but prepared(except Carolina, who was lost in her little world).
Now, the Games start. In 3, 2, 1... Let the 2nd Hunger Games begin!
It wasn't much surprising that Arabella was the first one to reach it, she was the quickest one, already with a weapon on hand. All she did was wait for the others to come.
All the tributes went to the middle.
Ray from 10, he was an older child who apparently lost his family a month before the games. No wonder he was so depressed.
He went straight to the bloodbath. Ray was easily the first death, opening his arms when he saw Roman from 11 with a sword. One cut to the neck and it was over.
Ray Greenbolt, District 10 Male: 24th Place, Killed by Roman. Bloodbath.
Soon came the next death, a surprising one. Dalton Coldbelt, a trained hardened soldier from the Rebellion went to take Carl from 5, he had a war hammer ready and everything.
Dalton swung his hammer, but Carl saw it coming, and the District 5 boy found a weapon on the ground, a scythe, and got it quickly, also quickly into Dalton's large chest. It was a quick death, but Carl certainly got it more skill than he showed earlier in his sessions.
Dalton Coldbelt, District 6 Male: 23rd Place, Killed by Carl. Bloodbath.
It was a death that surprised people, people(me included) thought he'd last longer, but Carl soon faced a different problem.
Carl soon faced with Dalton's district partner Lara Ward. Lara was looking at Dalton's corpse and was immediately angered. She rushed to Carl, knives ready.
Carl once again managed to dodge when Lara swiped at him with the sharp knife. The older boy also swiped with a bloody scythe, but Lara was quicker and the weapon didn't reach her.
Eventually, it can to a series of lucky dodging for both tributes until Lara managed to cut Carl's soldier. He, in turn, kicked Lara in the stomach, which put Lara in the ground and ran as quickly as possible. He almost died, but Carl made it out of the cornucopia.
To Arabella, she was waiting there for someone in particular, and that person was Ashley from 2. Arabella thought that Ashley was far to hated by the Capitol for being too outspoken against them and that killing her would make Arabella more favorable in the Capitol's eyes. Not a bad plan, honestly.
Ashley didn't even manage to get a weapon yet before Arabella came, and the District 2 rebel girl couldn't stop Arabella from slashing her torso with a sword. Ashley shouldn't have brought much attention to herself. Many Capitolites celebrated her death, to my current dismay. Not many future tributes follow Ashley's lead.
Ashley Lopez, District 2 Female: 22nd Place, Killed by Arabella. Bloodbath.
Carolina from 10 didn't understand what was going on. In all honesty, she most likely thought this was a race to the center and had this naive smile on her face.
It wasn't long before tough Hercules from 2 had a sword on him, but decided not to use it when he turned to Carolina's direction. The younger girl asked who won the race, and Hercules in his dismay, said shakily that she did. She looked so happy, but that happiness went away quickly when Hercules snapped her tiny neck.
Carolina Marsh, District 10 Female: 21st Place, Killed by Hercules. Bloodbath.
Hercules thought it was a quick death to give, most likely true, and managed to escape with supplies and a weapon. Also whatever innocence he had left.
The 8 District tributes, Walter and Saki, were lucky to have to their launch pads nearby, and went to the cornucopia together, not an official team, but something. Perhaps they were friends before the HG.
Anyway, both tributes did get backpacks, but the tribute behind them, Paula from 7, had an ax.
Walter noticed and attempted to stab her with the knife that fits in his hand, but Paula being bigger and more skilled, didn't let him cut her, and swung her ax downward, slicing Walter's face in half.
Walter Ozborn, District 8 Male: 20th Place, Killed by Paula. Bloodbath.
Saki ran away quickly when she saw her ally and district partner die in front of her. No one got in her way.
Paula seemed like she was going in through shock from the amount of blood and brains Walter spurred out, and she ran quickly away with her two legs.
Jonathan from 12 wasn't so lucky. He met up with Arabella and took a sword out. He managed fine when he blocked Arabella's first strike and her second. Only he wasn't fast enough to dodge the one that got his face, and his right eye. Jonathan loses an eye from Arabella.
Despite the bloody face he now has, he surprised Arabella with a headbutt and used some blood from his face that leaked to his hands and swiped the blood onto Arabella's eyes. Blinding her enough that Jonathan managed to escape, but not in one piece. His odds came out lower from having one eye left.
Lara was angered from Carl's escape, and still, think he needs a kill to impress her wolf pack. She finds a bow and arrow and aims to one of the escaping tributes. The unlucky tribute was May from 11, and Lara managed the perfect shot with her now when her arrow pierced May's face from behind. The headpiece was visible through her missing eyeball that popped bloody.
May Weathersbee, District 11 Male: 19th Place, Killed by Lara. Bloodbath.
Lara also shot at Hattie from 12 but had less luck getting the girl. The arrow whizzed past Hattie, and the District 12 girl got out alive.
Roman wanted to go after Woody from 7 but amusingly managed to trip. Woody got out fine, even blew raspberries at Roman before he escaped the cornucopia.
In the end, the last kill belonged to Arabella. After the District 4 girl swiped the blood of her eyes, she saw Markas and Sophie from 1 leaving the cornucopia. She immediately ran to their direction. The 1 tributes saw her and ran was quick as they can, but it wasn't enough. Markas got a sword through his stomach from behind, and as soon as Arabella pulled it away, Markas fell to the ground and died slowly.
Markas Diamond, District 1 Male: 18th Place, Killed by Arabella. Bloodbath.
On the other hand, Sophie managed to escape. Arabella didn't go after the younger girl for some reason.
Arabella also let Ian from 4, along with Eddie from 9(who allied with the spoiled District 4 boy somehow) escaped with supplies, apparently, she's close with her district partner. They drifted her way, and the District 4 girl didn't try to attack. Maybe she has a soft spot for the younger tributes?
In any case, the rest of the tributes got out, leaving Arabella, Roman, and Lara alone in the cornucopia with eight corpses. I've dubbed this: the bloodbath. An apt term.
No one died for the rest of the day, however. I didn't want this to be as quick as the 1st Hunger Games.
So, the rest of the day wasn't as bloody, but it was eventful.
The wolf pack stayed in the cornucopia, deciding to hunt the next day. I mean, why leave a defensible place with supplies? Arabella was cleaning her sword, Roman and Lara walked around, seeing if anything was out of the ordinary and talking about family. Roman was a little pissed about Lara's kill of May but understood that it was most likely for the best for his district partner to die sooner rather than later. Lara also said to the other two that Carl is going to be her kill, they didn't disagree, not seeing a point to.
For the rest of the tributes, they had other worries. Saki from 8 ran to the point of exhaustion north. Not sure if running towards a volcano is a smart choice, but who knows? Maybe there's something there. Eva from 5 and Jonathan from 12 went east. They haven't seen each other yet. Eva Webb got lucky, getting a backpack with food and water and not getting hurt, let us hope she makes it further. Jonathan on the other hand now has an eye-patch someone sponsored to him. Guess he's more popular than we thought. He's going to prison ahead of him, along with Eva. Well, we'll see how that goes.
South-east was the farm, a large one filled with windmills everywhere. Eddie from 9 and Ian from 4 went there. There, they met up with Woody from 7. Apparently, Ian wanted Woody to come to join his 'glorious alliance' and Ian didn't say it nicely. Woody didn't like Ian's proud attitude and refused, giving him the bird. Ian was angered, but Eddie convinced him that it was alright. It almost came to a close fight, but Eddie managed to convince Ian not to hurt the younger boy. I swear Eddie has the patience of a saint to deal with Ian. Woody and the duo separated soon enough. Hercules from 2 also reached the farm but didn't see anyone. He slept in a farmhouse. Tired of all of it already.
Gizmo and Amy from 3 went west to the nuclear plant, they saw each other but didn't ally or even speak. They went to the ruined buildings outside the nuclear plant and scavenged what they could find. The exciting thing that happened at the place was the fight between Paula from 7 and Hattie from 12. The tribute from 7 got paranoid from the bloodbath, and saw Hattie on the road, and attacked her on the road.
Paula attacked Hattie with an ax, but Hattie ducked the attack. She ran away, and so far Paula caught up to her. Hattie thought of a cover idea to open the car that was the nearby door, and so it would appear that it worked. When Paula reached to Hattie, the District 12 girl opened the car door and it smacked Paula's body to the ground. Hattie used that to her advantage and ran. Paula didn't find her. Hattie, on the other hand, was going to the nuclear plant, so maybe the two will meet again since Paula was going the same direction.
Now, the final tributes. Sophie from 1, Carl from 5, and Sierra from 9 met up along the way north-west. They went to the lighthouse in that direction. For the most part, the tributes teamed up as a matter of convenience. Sophie needed protection, and Carl was a nice guy(almost a reminder of Fjord) and wanted to protect her. Sierra thought she had to fight them, but Sophie convinced her to follow them. The bigger the better, Sierra was a lone wolf and didn't agree. Hell, the wolf pack offered her a position, and she just didn't want to join people. But she went with Carl and Sophie cause she didn't want any more death yet. The three slept in the lighthouse.
And that was all for Day 1. Day 2 was something different.
Starting with Jonathan, once he got to the prison, there were people there. Two older men with orange prison garb, Jonathan had a sword ready. They made him on edge from their eyes. The inmate's eyes were yellow and cat-like. They told Jonathan to come with him or not get hurt. He complied, but he still had a sword in hand just in case.
Jonathan was taken to the prison's courtyard and saw Eva Webb from 5. Two lookalike inmates was leading her. The same thing happened to her.
The inmates, however, suddenly howled and transformed into werecats. Giant cat humanoid mutts. What? I wanted to make it unpredictable.
Both Jonathan and Eva knew they were in a fight for their lives and temporary teamed up.
One werecat charged at Eva, another at Jonathan. Jonathan managed to stab the cat monster mutt with his sword and kill it. Eva had less luck. She wasn't fast enough to escape the human-cat mutt's sharp claw and had her arm damaged. But she managed to stab it in the eye with her knife.
That left the other two, once more, after a few scratches, Eva and Jonathan killed the two inmates turned cat mutts.
Once the fighting was over, Jonathan saw Eva and her wounded arm and walked to her. He had a sword, still ready to fight.
Eva saw this. She looked nervous about her chances. "Ca- Can't we ally with each other?"
Jonathan shook his head. "Sorry. No."
Eva tried to attack, but Jonathan's sword reached her throat first.
Eva Webb, District 5 Female: 17th Place, Killed by Jonathan. Day 2.
Jonathan spent the day in prison. Sleeping and waiting. He also found food in the kitchen.
Then came the trio of Carl, Sophie, and Sierra went to the island. There was a large bridge connecting it the land and they went there. Once they were there, they found an empty campsite filled with food. They were happy for an hour or so, chatting to themselves.
Of course, they had company. The wolf pack company. Arabella, Roman, and Lara followed a trail north, then they saw a recently used lighthouse, but when they reached the top, they saw the island and their next prey.
Once they saw the wolf pack cross the bridge, Sophie saw it was hopeless. She ran and hide. Carl and Sierra decided they didn't have much for hiding on the island, and will have to fight them.
It was ultimately decided to choose who to kill. Arabella went after Sierra. Lara already called dibs on Carl. And Roman had to go find Sophie and kill her.
The District 9 girl struck first, but Arabella was prepared for it. Both of them had swords. Sierra held her own but wasn't as skilled as Arabella. The District 4 girl killed Sierra with one good strike to the chest.
Sierra Manning, District 9 Female: 16th Place, Killed by Arabella. Day 2.
Carl was shot in his shoulder but managed to walk to Lara fine. He swiped his sword at the wolf pack girl, but didn't manage and got knives in the stomach for his efforts. Fortunately, he got his sword to stab her leg. She yelped in anger and pain when she finally finished him off with her knife as she cut his throat open.
Carl Richards, District 5 Male: 15th Place, Killed by Lara. Day 2.
Roman was busy looking for Sophie, she hid well and managed to go to the lake where she decided to escape by swimming. Roman saw her as she swam, and he found a rock on the ground. He threw the rock and it hit Sophie in the head. Hard. She ended up getting a concussion and drowned.
Sophie Starz, District 1 Female: 14th Place, Killed by Roman. Day 2.
And so the wolf pack had a great victory. Lara had to bandage her leg, and now limps, but other than that, the day is still young. The wolf pack helped themselves to lunch and stayed on the island for a day. They were silent after the debacle, sitting in the same campfire the group they killed used.
There was another event that happened an hour after that. Saki was moving north, tired from hiding, but didn't see anyone or anything following her.
Out of nowhere a horrid tall demon, with black wings and fangs grabbed her when she wasn't looking and took her to the air.
The devil mutt was a tricky thing to create, and expensive, but I only needed one.
The demon mutt let go of Saki and she died once her body hit the ground. She was screaming in terror the entire time.
Saki Kusumoto, District 8 Female: 13th Place, Killed by devil mutt. Day 2.
The rest of day 2 wasn't important. No one met with anyone else.
Near the nuclear plants, Gizmo, Amy, Paula, and Hattie had a surprise. Mutant mutt's. Almost ugly zombie-like humanoids were coming from the nuclear plants.
Gizmo noticed them first. His first thought was apparently to go to his neighbor and district partner Amy(at this point, they may very well be allies), and alerted her of the incoming mutants.
It wouldn't be long for them when the mutant mutt's we're quicker than they thought.
Gizmo was taken back and wasn't quick enough when a mutant mutt managed to bite his throat off. The District Three boy couldn't shake off any more of the mutant mutt's when more came to eat him like a bunch of zombies. It was a terrifying sight.
Gizmo Vasco, District 3 Male: 12th Place, Killed by mutant mutt. Day 3.
On the bright side, Amy escaped. She killed a mutt with her spear, but most of them were focused on Gizmo's screaming. Shame she probably got nightmares from her district partner's death.
Paula from 7 didn't have a good time. The other mutant mutt's we're coming to her, but unlike Gizmo, she managed to fight back and end a few of them.
It was unfortunate that one managed to bit her arm, but she managed to behead the mutant mutt with her ax. But the bite that was left-turn green and Paula was certainly not feeling well.
There were only two of those gross looking mutt's left, and Paula dealt with them.
Paula didn't have any time for victory when she noticed Amy from 3 coming her way.
The bite in Paula's arm was quickly turning her weak, making Amy have an easier fight when her spear managed to pierce the weakened Paula in her stomach.
Paula Landauer, District 7 Female: 11th Place, killed by Amy. Day 3.
Hattie from 12 had it easier. She only had to deal with two mutant mutt's and dealing with them quickly.
Then Hattie found Amy.
Amy and Hattie saw each other, went towards one another, perhaps wondering if they had to fight, but Hattie asked the girl if she wanted an alliance. Amy said yes, tiredly. Both of them decided to leave the power plant. Very wise of them.
Another event happened when Ian and Eddie was camping. Both of them were still awake, and Ian was telling a bad story about his childhood. Strange to see two boys with such high morale during the Games. Behind Eddie, Ian observed a tall figure stalking them, and told Eddie to duck.
Once the two tributes see the demon mutt, they ran like their lives depended on it(which it did).
The two managed to hid in a trailer car, but the demon mutt was waiting for them to come out, so they took their time to plan.
Ian apparently and bluntly told Eddie to sacrifice himself to save him, but Eddie shook his head and motioned for some other plan.
"Okay, how do we deal with a demon then? Other than sacrifice," Ian snarked. No one is certain what movie he watched to get this knowledge.
"Can't we just lure him to the front of the trailer car we got and ram it?" Eddie asked what came to mind, sounding absolutely tired from dealing with Ian.
"Um, not a bad idea," Ian agreed, much to Eddie's shock. "Glad I thought of it!"
Eddie shook his head. "No. We don't even know how to drive."
"Of course I do," Ian said.
Eddie raised a brow. "You do?"
"I played arcade racing games. Can't be that hard," Ian admitted. "Just lure it in front and I'll get it."
Those two kids were lucky to find car keys in the glove box. Only a handful of cars in the arena has them. Most of them being junk cars only there for decoration.
Eddie hesitantly agreed to it. The demon mutt saw Eddie a swiftly flew down at him, but Eddie somehow escaped the demon's claws and led it to the front of the trailer car.
The demon was more focused on Eddie when they managed to go a bit further so the car to deal more impact, and Ian started to use the keys and to step on the petal.
The trailer car managed to hit the back of the tall demon mutt when it wasn't looking, but despite Ian's claim, he didn't know how to drive and landed himself to the tree nearby. That's what ended up killing the demon mutt, but also Ian's life.
The District 4 boy wasn't wearing a seatbelt and when the car hit the tree, he managed to crack his head on impact by the car.
Ian Veld, District 4 Male: 10th Place, killed in a car accident. Day 3.
Eddie went to see if Ian was alright. Hearing a cannon boom. Ian wasn't, and Eddie left his ally, looking sad at his death. Or the prospect of being alone.
The farming fields had an interesting event to happen on Day 3.
Woody from 7 had slept on the tree his first day, but then he started hearing voices. He couldn't seem to find them, and he was freaking out. It got worse on day 2. Woody has noticed a few scarecrows kept turning to face him as if staring at the boy. It was all planned of course. Those were scarecrow mutt's I thought to make to fit the farm.
The Seven boy didn't have any fun and looked paranoid as heck.
On day 3, the scarecrows started to whisper to go to the farmhouse where Hercules camped. That's where Woody went.
He noticed a sleepy Hercules from 2 in one room, and successfully sneaked in and out.
Then the Woody had an idea given from the scarecrows to burn the farmhouse.
So, Woody got a small torch, lit it on fire, and threw it at the house Hercules slept. The whispers stop and the farmhouse was in flames.
Hercules woke up, saw smoke and he freaked. The fire was moving to his room, and Hercules wasn't given a lot of options. He ran through the fire, deciding it better than jumping out of the window.
His hair was on fire, and so was his shirt, but he came out of it mostly alright.
Then Woody came closer, deciding to kill the unarmed tribute when he was distracted with his knife. The boy from 7 knives the older boy from 2 in his back. Hercules screamed in pain, and couldn't do anything from Woody stabbing once more. His screams turned to silence after that.
Hercules Afgan, District 2 Male: 9th Place, killed by Woody. Day 3.
Woody had this dazed expression, and he doesn't look sane anymore. He walked out of the farm field, scarecrows whispering to him once more about killing before he finally got away from that crazy part of the arena.
The rest of the day wasn't as interesting. Of course, the mutt's an arena here were tests, and to my much later regret, they proved to be a success.
The Final Eight Tributes: Amy Delta from District 3, Arabella Tamon from District 4, Lara Ward from District 6, Woody Oaks from District 7, Eddie Combs from District 9, Roman Farfield from District 11, and Jonathan Marino and Hattie Ingram from District 12.
Who does the reader think will win?
The start of the entertainment of Day 4 started with the wolf pack.
The trio went back to the cornucopia. They went hunting up north but no one was there.
Lara was sleeping, Arabella and Roman were talking about their families, and they didn't notice an ugly human-like thing until it came out.
Arabella and Roman hear a monkey screech, and we're surprised to see a gorilla with red eyes charging towards them.
They reacted accordingly, getting swords as quickly as they could, but Lara was still sleeping, but she woke up. Only to see giant ape in front of her.
Lara tried to run for it, but her legs were still wounded from Carl, and the gorilla mutt grabbed her and threw her far. Lara landed in a tree.
It wasn't pretty. Blood was everywhere around her.
Lara Ward, District 6 Female: 8th Place, Killed by gorilla mutt. Day 4.
Arabella and Roman couldn't make it in time to save her, but the two still had the gorilla mutt to deal with. And it began to charge at Roman, who dodged the mutt when it tried to smack Roman away.
Arabella got a stab in, but the gorilla mutt retaliated when he punched her and that threw her off the ground for a second and landing painfully on the ground. Roman was left fighting the gorilla alone. And he got away from the ape's hands for about four minutes, and while Roman wasn't intentionally trying to be a distraction, it was enough time for Arabella to get back up and grab Lara's bow and use it. Luckily, an arrow pierced the back of the gorilla's brain, killing it.
Roman and Arabella stayed in the cornucopia, not feeling the will to hunt for more tributes.
In the same hour, Jonathan left the prison and went out, trying to hunt when the wolf pack seems to not want to. He was traveling down the east road, and he saw Eddie on the way. Then Eddie saw Jonathan. Eddie ran away, and the 12 male tribute chased after the boy from 9.
Jonathan managed to catch up and brought Eddie down when he tackled him. The two boys were having this small wrestling match, but the winner, ultimately, was Eddie. The younger boy pushes Jonathan off of him and grabbed a covenant placed metal exhaust pipe. Eddie smacked Jonathan hard with it, and Eddie broke the boy's neck.
Jonathan Marino, District 12 Male: 7th Place, Killed by Eddie. Day 4.
Eddie cried a lot after killing Jonathan. Nothing of note happened after that on Day 4.
There was a bloody meet and greet in Day 5. One with Woody, along with the tag-teamed Amy from 3 and Hattie from 12.
It was rather sudden. Hattie and Amy were walking, and Woody came out of nowhere with a knife in his hands. Somehow, Woody became the most affected in this arena, mentally wise. He stabbed Amy in the chest, and it was too late for either two girl tributes to do anything.
Amy died from that. Blood in her hands and shirt. I don't know what else to write. She died.
Amy Delta, District 3 Female: 6th Place, Killed by Woody. Day 5.
Hattie, under the current conditions, screamed for retribution from the little wild-eyed monster. It was a lucky hit on her, as one slash of her sword was enough to kill Woody.
The once nice boy was slain. Woody was the most affected because of the scarecrow experiment. It was a test of mental fortitude and Woody lost that test, losing his sanity in the process. I regret it now. As many other deaths, I have a hand in for the future Games.
Woody Oaks, District 7 Male: 5th Place, Killed by Hattie. Day 5.
The District Twelve girl looked around, seeing two bodies, and went away with a sullen look on her face. Hattie was the first of many to experience this kind of loss.
The last death of the day was in the wolf pack and Arabella needed to go solo now. She betrayed Roman. The two were close during their time here, but Arabella made the right decision possible when she stabbed the unexpecting betrayed ally in the back. Roman went to the ground, spewing blood. He had
"I'm sorry," Arabella said to Roman. She finished him off as she brought her sword down.
Roman Farfield, District 11 Male: 4th Place, Killed by Arabella. Day 5.
Those events happened fast, didn't it? Well, some fights don't last more than five seconds sometimes.
"To the final three tributes! Meet at the cornucopia and finish the Hunger Games!"
Once the sun came up on Day 6, that was what was announced. Eddie walked west, Hattie walked north, and Arrabella stayed where she was. The girl from District 4 was watching the land around her like a hawk searching for its prey.
Eddie reached to the cornucopia first before Hattie did, and wasn't that perfect. The boy saw Arabella, and he knew he didn't have a chance. So he stayed in the outer-rim of the arena. Arabella saw Eddie and had her bow out. She fired the arrow, and Eddie made a run for it. The arrow, unfortunately, pierced his right leg. The boy screamed in pain.
He still attempted to escape, but Arabella came for him. It only took half a minute for her to reach Eddie. Honestly, by the time he got shot, he lost any chance of winning. He was crying and begging Arabella not to kill him.
Arabella had the same sorry regretful look before she killed Roman. She stabbed Eddie in the heart with her sword. She wanted to end him quickly.
Eddie Combs, District Nine Male: 3rd Place, Killed by Arabella. Day 6/Finale.
Now, the final two. Arabella and Hattie.
The moment Hattie came, which was at least half an hour before Eddie died, the two saw each other, and Arabella was getting impatient. She wanted this over if and see her family again. The two final female tributes went on and got themselves into a duel with Arabella, steadfast, making the first move.
It was a fight that involved lucky dodging, and both tributes got bloody cuts. Hattie got a stab in Arabella's stomach, and it got closer to the end of the fight.
Hattie went to finish her off, but Arabella did the same trick as Jonathan. She got some of her blood on her hands and threw drops that went to Hattie's eye. With that, Hattie missed her mark and Arabella got her sword to puncture Hattie's stomach. The sword went through the belly and the cameras saw the end of the sword coming from Hattie's back.
And the girl from District 4 has won.
Hattie Ingram, District 12 Female: 2nd Place, Killed by Arabella. Day 6/Finale.
Arabella Tamon, District 4 Female: 1st Place. Victor of the 2nd Hunger Games.
-THE AFTERMATH FILE-
2nd HG:
Name: Arabella Tamon
District: 4(#1)
Age: 19
Bio: A soilder in the Dark Days, for the rebel side. Lost her father in the Great Rebellion, but her mother and sister survived it. The family was originally from District 6 but decided that 4 was a better place to live. The three Tamon's have done fishing to stay alive back then, but Arabella's sister Mia was reaped. And Arabella became a volunteer. The first one.
Victor Tour: She wasn't popular in District 11 and 12. She had the first victor tour around the districts and in these districts, in particular, she was booed at and has had vegetables thrown at her. They were angered from her betrayal of Roman and killing Hattie. Her district liked cheered for her, at least.
After the HG: It was a well-earned victory. And for the most part, she ended up as a popular figure for District 4. Not counting her achievements in the rebellion(the Capitol ignores this since she hasn't done anything rebellious after the HG) and became one of the more popular Victor's in the eyes of many. A well-respected figure, for never rebelling and giving money to charities. Her personal life is much more reserved matter. Magazines have reported that she dated, but never ended up married. However, she did adopt two children. Twins, in fact, a boy and girl named Tim and Tammy.

A/N: Patrick: Admit, Alex! Tell the world the truth! Or I will!
Alex: Okay. Okay! Believe it or not, there was some favoritism played where Arabella won.
Patrick: And!
Alex: Okay, I lot. But It wasn't completely in her favor! She was smart, battle-hardened, and more in terms of killing for the sake of killing. She was simple more badass.
Patrick: I'll never let you do this again.
Alex: ...that's fair. And on the grammar, well, I can promise to make it better in later chapters. I swear.
Patrick: *eye-roll* Make your grammar how you want it, Alex.
