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

6. 5th Hunger Games - Variety Islands

THE 5TH HUNGER GAMES

As the 5th Hunger Games rolled around the corner, the Districts began to accept their fate once and for all. Of course, the spark of rebellion was never truly stamped out, but hardly anyone dared to get in trouble with the Peacekeepers of their District. It was now that volunteers from 1 & 2 were becoming more common, and more parents in those Districts were sending their gifted sons and daughters to the HGAs.

Capitol propaganda was also becoming more common, too. Posters with slogans were increasingly popular, and Peacekeepers were tasked with pasting them to every available surface. The taking out of tesserae became very common too, from both the lower Districts and upper Districts (but not from Districts 1 or 2, although there were some rare cases).

THE CORNUCOPIA

The Cornucopia is filled with supplies and weapons.

THE LANDSCAPE

The tributes find themselves standing on different small islands, some bigger than others. All around them is the ocean, which stretches for miles out. The islands themselves are varied: some are forests, some are deserts, some are meadows.

THE GAMES

The gong rings out and the tributes leap off their podiums, then stall, looking around nervously. Although there are walkways between each island, it seems that many don't like the setting of this year's Games.

Solla leaps into the water and kicks out, swimming strongly away from the Cornucopia island. However, her movement attracts the attention of Henry, who is already armed with a bow and arrow. He shoots her down in the water, turning it red.

While most tributes scatter along the islands, a certain three decide to head for the Cornucopia. Unfortunately, Yulo, Rulf and Holli meet their deaths as the Careers attack them and kill them easily.

Day 1 passes with one more death as the tributes explore: Graham, who falls into the sea and drowns.

24th – Solla Floods, District 4 female

23rd – Yulo Alderby, District 10 male

22nd – Rulf Mudd, District 12 male

21st – Holli Goode, District 6 female

20th – Graham Popps, District 8 male

Day 2 also claims lives, as the Careers split up and explore. They kill six tributes between them: Cara, Josi, Brae, Malorie, Elizabeth and Nett.

Many of the others spread around the islands, settling and making camps. There are thirteen tributes alive, but numbers are dropping fast.

19th – Cara Islington, District 3 female

18th – Josi Bench, District 9 female

17th – Brae Rose, District 9 male

16th – Malorie Threed, District 8 female

15th – Elizabeth Curie, District 5 female

14th – Nett Mathers, District 4 male

Days 3 and 4 pass deathless, and a new alliance is formed: Trevill, Dyllan, Bernadette and Rye. They stay on a forest island, sharing supplies and chatting quietly.

On Day 5, the Careers inevitably turn on each other and a full-blown fight ensues. The only survivor is Zayda, who runs off with the supplies, though badly injured.

13th – Jasmine Veldrez, District 1 female

12th – Henry Abatoni, District 2 male

11th – Christian Shinestock, District 1 male

Day 6 passes, but on Day 7, four tributes drop from dehydration: Tylar, Freya, Trissa and Iona.

10th – Tylar Lonn, District 3 male

9th – Freya Mannings, District 7 female

8th – Trissa Fountain, District 11 female

7th – Iona Dancey, District 12 female

Days 8 and 9 pass, but then, out of the blue, the lower-District alliance is wiped out by a sudden commotion on their island: all the trees bend inwards and then collapse. Rye and Bernadette survive, but are left with numerous broken bones. Bernadette kills herself, while Rye tries to call for help. He is found about an hour later by Zayda, who puts him out of his misery.

6th – Trevill Host, District 5 male

5th – Dyllan Penny, District 6 male

4th – Bernadette Laine, District 11 female

3rd – Rye Worthings, District 11 male

Day 10 starts with a shower of heavy rain. Zayda and Seth, the only tributes left, don't seem very excited about the finale. The rain gets worse as the day wears on, until finally it turns into a lightning storm. Seth hides out, but Zayda isn't so lucky and unfortunately is trapped underneath a tree as lightning hits and it falls. She dies in a few hours of blood loss, leaving Seth as the Victor.

THE VICTOR

Seth Fairpine – District 7 male

THE AFTERMATH

Seth lived out in District 7 for about five years, until finally he decided to do something important in his life apart from his Victory. He spent most of his days from then on donating to local orphanages and lumberyards, but soon turned to alcohol when the memories of his Games became too much. He never married.

FAMILY INTERVIEW

Seth's family is large, and it appears he has six brothers and sisters. They are of different ages, but they are all much younger. His mother looks flustered as she detaches herself from their five year-old girl, Florrie. "Yes, well, Seth was always a fighter," she says breathlessly. "I did always think that he would have a good chance. We just never imagined he'd come home!"

A/N: Seth's Games…I know it was a little shorter than usual, but I just felt like updating it. I guess I'm going to have to be very busy if I want to reach my target of 73!
