32nd Hunger Games

Winner: Lucian District 2

After the Careers embarrassment last year, they were determined to win this year meaning that Districts 1, 2 and 4 actually wanted to work together this year, past the usual alliance.

Now after suffering the humiliation that the Careers experienced in the 31st Hunger Games, any other district would try a different tactic to what they normally used but this is the arrogant and confident Career Districts we're talking about so of course they decided they would just have to be even stronger and more blood thirsty than last year's tributes. A weapon, after all, was of course, the only way a tribute could win the Hunger Games. Everybody knew that didn't they?

So the Career tributes were extremely strong and fierce this year. They were all eighteen and the best that each district had to offer. But one of the best things about the Careers this year was that they all could use different weapons. Normally, they were all pretty skilled with swords, knives and perhaps even a spear but this year all six of them chose a different weapon. The District 1 girl and the District 2 girl chose a knife, the District 1 boy chose a sword, the District 4 girl chose a bow and arrow, the District 4 boy chose an axe and the boy from District 2, Lucian, chose a spear. A spear was considered to be quite an unusual weapon to use all the time as it couldn't be used for short range meaning that Lucian was at a bit of a disadvantage compared to the other Career tributes.

The Gamemakers decided they wanted a bloodbath this year because for the last two years the victors had both used sneaky tactics to win. Yes, the Capitol had enjoyed the show but they also wanted to see some blood. So the Gamemakers solution to that was to create an arena that would force the tributes into fighting.

So this year's arena was a desert. Of course a huge issue with a desert was the lack of water but the Gamemakers didn't want to see all the tributes die of thirst so plenty of water was provided in the Cornucopia for any tribute that was willing to go get it.

The Careers, as usual, joined together in an alliance and decided to try last year's tactic of guarding the Cornucopia as it was a good concept even if it hadn't worked out very well for the Careers last year. But in a desert, the tributes would have to come to Cornucopia as they had to drink and the only water was in the Cornucopia. The District 1 boy and Lucian were the only ones sent out to try and track other tributes down as they had the long range weapons.

Lucian proved to be extremely good with his spear and was able to take tributes out from 50 metres away so his victims didn't even see him sometimes. He managed to kill quite a few tributes despite not having any trees to climb up, which would've been ideal. But in only a matter of days, Lucian had proved to be a much more effective killer than the other Careers, especially in this open and bleak arena.

But this, of course, made the others jealous.

It was on the fifth day, when the Career alliance began to fall apart. It became an unusual sl in this open and bleak arena.

But this, of course, made the others jealous.

It was on the fifth day, when the Career alliance began to fall apart. It became an unusual split of boys and girls where the boys and girls where the boys started to go off by themselves leaving the girls behind to guard the Cornucopia. Eventually after a heated discussion, Lucian and the boys from Districts 2 and 4 chose to break off the alliance and turned on the girls.

Despite being just as strong as the boys, the girls were caught completely unaware and the three of them were dead within minutes reducing the Career tributes down to just three.

By now there weren't that many tributes left as some, of course, had been killed but the Careers but many more had died of thirst; this year's arena was unforgiving and particularly harsh. Now that half the Careers were dead, the boys decided that they could no longer guard the Cornucopia and they might as well go and hunt the other tributes down.

What happened next was considered to be the goriest fight the Capitol had seen in a good while. The three boys, each armed with a different weapon, were unstoppable and quickly destroyed the opposition. They chopped and hacked their way through several tributes each but Lucian quickly became the Capitols favourite, just in the way he killed. Using his spear, he tended to stab tributes in the back which gave the Capitol plenty of agonising deaths full of blood, especially if Lucian missed and hit them in the arm so they slowly bled to death.

In fairness to the other tributes, some did try and fight back. The girl from District 6 was quite good at throwing knives and managed to chop the boy from District 2's ear off. Another tribute gave the boy from District 4 a few minor injuries during hand to hand combat before the District 4 tribute slit his throat. This was why, towards the end of the Games, Lucian had a slight advantage as he was the only one without any injuries, having killed people from afar,

When it became clear that the only tributes left were the three Careers, there was an extremely tense atmosphere as these boys had worked together but were now going to have to turn on each other. They were all experienced killers but the Capitol favoured Lucian as he didn't use hand to hand combat meaning he was the most interesting killer.

Lucian was the first to turn on the other two once the last tribute had been killed. As the other two watched the hovercraft lift the body of the fallen tribute away, Lucian crept up behind them.

Well, at least, he attempted toey were all experienced killers but the Capitol favoured Lucian as he didn't use hand to hand combat meaning he was the most interesting killer.

The boy from District 4 sensed that there was a fight looming and watched Lucian out the corner of his eye so was able to dodge his spear when Lucian threw it. The noise alerted the boy from District 1 but instead of turning against Lucian, he attacked the boy next to him, perhaps hoping to catch him unaware. Whatever his reasons were, the boy from District 1 successfully used his sword to kill the boy from District 4.

And then there were two.

At this point Lucian was still stood several metres away and only had one spear left so the boy from District 1 came charging towards him but with a slight limp having been injured a few days before. Lucian didn't run to meet him and instead waited as the other boy came closer and closer and closer…

Blood spurted out the boy from District 1's chest as he fell to the gorund.

Dead.

Lucian had waited until the last possible moment before launching his spear and at such a short range, there was no chance of him missing the target. Lucian was the victor.

The Capitol had got the bloodbath it wanted and it was a nice break for them to just get to watch a nice gory and bloody Hunger Games in which a Career won, compared to an unusual win using tactics which is what they would get next year.
