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

14. 13th Hunger Games - Muttation Mayhem

THE 13TH HUNGER GAMES

The year of the 13th Hunger Games was quite a quiet one. As the thirteenth year of teenagers fighting to the death, President Snow ordered the current Gamemaker to construct a very special arena for this year's tributes…so he did just that.

Meanwhile, in the Districts, District 12 finally got their age limit for employment in the mines to rise from 6+ to 16+, after much work from their Mayor. Similarly, Districts 5, 6 and 3 also received new, higher age limits for employment in their dangerous factories, though it only raised from 7+ to 12+.

With nothing much happening so far in the country, the Hunger Games were weighing on everyone's minds. The Districts were terrified – surely the arena for the 13th Games would be particularly brutal. They were right.

THE LANDSCAPE

Many said that the 13th Games would be unlucky, and they were right. As the name of the arena suggests, this place is filled with all sorts of horrible monstrosities. As the tributes rise up, they find themselves in a huge, sprawling underground bunker, covered in pitch blackness and with no light to see. The terrifying sounds of mutts fills their ears.

THE CORNUCOPIA

The Cornucopia can only be faintly seen in the darkness. Inside is food, water, weapons, and backpacks, all sorts of things – but the most valuable are torches and headlamps, any way to see in the gloom. However, these are limited.

THE TRIBUTES

THE GAMES

It takes a while for the tributes' eyes to adjust to the darkness of their arena, and for a few seconds after the gong rings, nobody moves. Somebody sneezes. A girl, Cotta, starts to cry. Then suddenly there's the sound of somebody choking and some people start to scream. The first death has been decided, and Eino is the unlucky victim, murdered by a surprising killer: Devyn, who seemed like one of the weaker tributes this year.

Instantly, madness breaks out. The Careers are shocked that they haven't got the first kill in, and during the course of ten minutes, a total of eleven tributes' lives are ended: surprisingly Marrina, Spruce, Veneer, Rachella, Angus, Cotta, Kieran, Bertha and Takka.

With only thirteen tributes remaining, the living flee, leaving the Careers at the Cornucopia with the supplies.

Less than an hour in, Georgia makes an alliance with Robyn and Scythe, the pair from 9. They share their supplies together, though Georgia seems wary of them.

Niter is attacked by tracker-jackers later in the evening, and dies within two hours' time.

24th – Eino Valgate, District 5 male

23rd – Marrina Silk, District 1 female

22nd – Spruce Spindleton, District 7 male

21st – Veneer Fordshire, District 8 male

20th – Rachella Dommin, District 6 female

19th – Angus Brindley, District 10 male

18th – Cotta Tilerane, District 8 female

17th – Kieran Matthews, District 4 male

16th – Bertha Griddles, District 10 female

15th – Takka Deshan, District 5 female

14th – Niter Hairnsorn, District 12 male

Day 2 comes with the new alliance broken when Robyn wakes up earlier than her allies. Deciding that Georgia is a bigger threat because she's older and somewhat smarter, Robyn stabs her in the chest with a knife and grabs her backpack, running off through the tunnel.

Meanwhile, the Careers decide it's time to go tribute-hunting before the mutts get most of the other kills first. However, as they're coming to the end of a tunnel, they hear screaming and burst into a cavern only to see Aava writhing on the ground as six large fiery wolves – lava beasts – burn her to death. The Careers leave her to die, and her cannon rings a few minutes later.

The third death happens in the late afternoon, though the tributes don't know it. Scythe wakes up, only to find the dead body of Georgia and Robyn gone. He believes he will die anyway and promptly commits suicide.

The penultimate death happens at night, when Buckor manages to somehow creep up on the Careers and drive his knife in between Benedict's shoulders. The boy dies in a few seconds and Buckor runs out of the tunnel, leaving the Careers far behind.

Finally, the fifth and last death comes when the same tribute, Buckor, is attacked by snow gnats in a tight cavern. He doesn't get away in time and they sting him to death.

13th – Georgia Swift, District 3 female

12th – Aava Joyce, District 4 female

11th – Scythe Laneton, District 9 male

10th – Benedict Angleo, District 1 male

9th – Buckor Wilton, District 11 male

Day 3 comes with only 8 tributes left – a record-breaker for the Hunger Games so far. The Gamemakers know they have to keep it going past four days at least, so they are a little grateful when no deaths occur today.

Robyn collapses from dehydration on the stony floor and passes out. It doesn't look like she'll make it past Day 4.

Meanwhile, the Careers decided to split up, which was a terrible decision because now they are lost and can't find each other again.

Devyn and Goldie make an alliance, for no other reason than that Goldie received a higher score in training, and Devyn has forced her to ally with him. He threatens to kill her if she tries to leave.

November seems to be in trouble. Like Robyn, she is gravely dehydrated and might die by tomorrow.

Day 4 comes with the two predicted deaths: November and Robyn, along with an unexpected one – Boudicea, who is killed by lava beasts.

8th – November Beaton, District 12 female

7th – Robyn Harvestt, District 9 female

6th – Boudicea Lairings, District 2 female

Day 5 starts with the Final Five decided: Cleaver, Devyn, Railer, Janice and Goldie, who is still being held captive by Devyn…although not for long. Deciding she is useless to him, Devyn slits her throat and continues walking through the tunnels.

Meanwhile, Railer, who has remained hidden for most of the Games, comes out to venture back to the Cornucopia. However, he meets Janice there, and the two commence a lengthy and bloody fight that ends with Janice as the victor.

5th – Goldie Jackleton, District 11 female

4th – Railer Scrapp, District 6 male

The Final Three have been decided by Day 6 – Janice, Cleaver and Devyn, who have all made kills by now. Janice takes control of the Cornucopia, while Devyn wanders the mutt-filled tunnels along with Cleaver, who remains silent but deadly, camped out in a cavern waiting to strike.

By late evening, however, Devyn dies unexpectedly, and it is revealed that he was actually poisoned by an unknown mutt. He's still dead, however, and now Cleaver and Janice are left to fight it out.

3rd – Devyn Osterren, District 3 male

Day 7 dawns and Cleaver comes back to the Cornucopia, armed with a sword. Janice is armed with a knife, and while she shouts insults at him as he strides towards her, it's clear that she's at a disadvantage.

Cleaver is within a meter of her when he suddenly leans forward and decapitates the girl. It's over in a split-second. He raises his bloodied sword to the sky as Victor of the 13th Hunger Games.

THE VICTOR

Cleaver Blackbrooke – District 2 male

THE AFTERMATH

Cleaver believed he was resilient enough to cope with the memories of the Games, but unfortunately his mind fractured when he was 20 and he resolved to alcohol and drugs almost immediately. He died at the young age of 34 after over-dosing on morphling, and was best known for having spent almost all of his Victors' money within fourteen years.

FAMILY INTERVIEW

It doesn't appear that Cleaver has any living relatives, though his room-mate at the District 2 HGA, Caesar, tells the camera that Cleaver worked very hard for Reaping Day. "He would constantly rehearse everything he was going to say, and sometimes he would ask me to act out different roles like District escort or stylist. He was very prepared." Caesar smiles faintly. "I think he'll try to donate some of his Victors' money, too."

A/N: And that was Cleaver's Games…hope you enjoyed it. What did you think of Cleaver?
