Panem Events
The country was in chaos. Many of the Districts liked Marley since he was a very respectable young man. The Career Districts didn't favor him as much, especially District Four. It took nearly a week for the bodies of the tributes stuck in the cabins to be excavated out. The Career Districts would extensively train their tributes the coming year. The Capitol was upset of the multitude of bloodless deaths and the fact that the finale had no bloodshed. Talk of insurgency traveled through the Capitol. Tiberius Pennilo feared for his life and position as President. To bide the people, he reinstated the betting system and allowed for mutts to be part of the Games again. He also threatened Aurelia Davis to be careful on her Arena choice this year. Aurelia would release Games propaganda to help excite the people. She released a teaser clip of the Arena to the Capitol people. It involved a bushel of apples, a hay loft, and pasture. The Capitol was excited for what seemed to be a simple Arena that would lead to many bloody deaths. The Career tributes this year consisted of very favorable and well-trained individuals. Each Career Tribute seemed very strong, the youngest being Ceta of Four. Many girls did not want to volunteer after seeing the trauma Alanta faced, but the fifteen year old was eager to volunteer. A strong outlier alliance consisting of the tributes from Eleven and Twelve along with the District Eight male formed. There was also a lot of younger tributes and they formed a large alliance as well. It consisted of Terra, Corey, Yota, Willa, Wovenna, Clate, and Abilene. There were few loners this year. The Capitol was hopeful for a bloody and eventful Games.

Day One
The tributes rise up in a large flat pasture with waist high grass. The flat land changes to rolling hills dotted with trees and criss-crossed with a few streams. Cattle and horses roam the fields. To the north is a huge red barn. A few animal pens surround the barn but are empty. To the east and south is a large apple orchard. Many tributes smiled at the peaceful setting around them and most would only gather supplies from the outer edge of the Cornucopia. The gong sounds and the tributes rush to the Cornucopia. Hugo and Digit are the only tributes to skip out on the Bloodbath.
Landry gets to the Cornucopia first and grabs a pack of throwing knives. She flings one into the first tribute she sees.
24. Biloxi Vincent, 15, D10- knife thrown into chest by Landry Carter
Ceta and Suave each grab a spear. Suave turns and throw his spear at a tribute trying to run away.
23. Clate Barton, 12, D9- spear thrown into back by Suave Fannigan, D1
"That's one for me," Suave says smirking.
Ceta chunks her spear and sails through the air and lands in a small girl's chest, "That's one for me too."
22. Wovenna Allen, 13, D8- spear thrown into chest by Ceta Floyd
The alliance of younger tributes chased around the Cornucopia wildly. Two of their members were already dead, one of them was their leader, Wovenna. Yota tries to ditch the Cornucopia and runs into Julie. The District Five girl cuts down Yota with a quick swipe of her sword.
21. Yota Ling, 12, D6- Chest slashed with sword by Julie Manning, D8
Terra, Corey, Abilene, and Willa start to sprint away from the carnage. Suave spots the group. He throws his spear into the back of the trailing tribute.
20. Corey Mattic, 13, D5- spear thrown into back by Suave Fannigan, D1
Eliza runs across the field grabbing as much as she can. She's alone in these Games and needs all that she can get. She runs to the backside of the Cornucopia and spots a crying boy laying on the ground. He has a large gash in his side. Eliza stabs her dagger into his chest to end his misery.
19. August Roche, 13, D7- injured by Tybalt Brennan, stabbed in the chest by Eliza Woden, D9
The older Outlier Alliance gathers together and start to leave, but are faced by Landry and Passion. Cal makes the first move and throws his hatchet into Landry's face.
18. Landry Carter, 17, D2- hatchet thrown into face by Cal Fuentes, D12
Passion roars in anger and stabs her sword into Cal's side. He falls to the ground gasping for breath.
17. Cal Fuentes, 16, D12- Stabbed in side by Passion Nitz, D1
Ceta hears Passion's yell. She runs to over to help and throws her spear. It flies through the air and stabs into Ruth's abdomen.
16. Ruth Parks, 17, D11- Spear thrown into abdomen by Ceta Floyd
Madisyn, Cain, and Hemming run away before anything else can be done. They cross over one of the hills and find Hugo sitting in a tree. Madisyn throws her knife and it sticks in his neck. Hugo falls from the tree and dies.
15. Hugo Moix, 15, D5- knife thrown into neck by Madisyn Bates, 15, D12
Nine cannons boom as the Bloodbath comes to an end. The younger alliance consisting of Abilene, Terra, and Willa run north towards the barn. The Outer Alliance, Cain, Madisyn, and Hemming, continue west over the hills. The loners, Eliza, Digit, and Julie are all in the apple orchard.
The Careers decide to go hunting for tributes, to avenge Landry's death. They head to the apple orchard. Suave stays behind to guard the Cornucopia. The rest of the Careers roam the orchard looking for tributes. It's almost twilight when they find Digit hunkered over sipping from a stream. Tybalt charges at Digit with a war cry. He slices his sword across the back of Digit's neck. Digit falls to the ground with his head barely attached to his body.
14. Digit Tull, 16, D3- Back of neck sliced by Tybalt Brennan, D2
The Careers return back to the Cornucopia that evening. The anthem plays and everyone settles in for the night.
Day Two
The younger alliance of Terra, Abilene, and Willa wake up early the next morning. Their supplies consist of a package of jerky, rope, and two knives. Their alliance was cut in half during the Bloodbath. They stayed the night in the barn, up in the hay loft. Abilene opens up the package of jerky and passes a piece to Terra and Willa.
"What's the plan for today?" Terra asks.
"I think we should find a water source. There's probably a stream or pond around here somewhere," Willa replies.
"After we get done eating we can go looking for one. I just don't want to run into any Careers," Abilene adds. The other girls nod their heads in agreement.
Eliza walks through the apple orchard. She managed to get plenty of supplies from the Cornucopia. Eliza finds a small stream and decides to set up camp there for the day. The temperature is already starting to rise. Eliza fans herself as she lays in the shade of one of the apple trees.
The Careers start getting around about mid morning. Passion starts cooking breakfast and Suave states the plans for the day.
"I think we should go hunting in the orchard today. It seems to cover the largest part of the Arena and probably holds the most tributes."
The rest of the Careers nod their heads in agreement.
"Who's going to guard the Cornucopia?" Maverick asks.
Passion raises her hand, "I'll stay and guard it."
Passion and Landry were good friends and Passion still wasn't over Landry's gruesome death.
"I think we should split up in pairs, to cover more ground," Ceta adds.
Suave nods his head, "Sounds good. Tybalt and I can be a pair and the Fours can be together."
Everyone agrees with the plans and after they finish breakfast, the teams head out. Tybalt and Suave head to the eastern orchard. Ceta and Maverick go to the southern orchard.
Hemming, Cain, and Madisyn are in the western part of the Arena. They've set up camp near a shallow pond. They each have a weapon of their choice, some rope, a loaf of bread, some jerky, a fire starting kit, and a blanket.
"What's the plans for today?" Hemming asks to no one in particular.
"I think we should keep moving, and find some better coverage," Cain replies.
"I agree. I don't like being out in the open like this," Madisyn adds.
Small, rolling hills of tall grass surround the group of tributes. Only a few sparse trees cover the landscape.
"I would say that we could go to the orchard, but I feel like that's the first place the Careers will look for tributes," Hemming says.
"I think that, too. I think our safest option is to continue to search around here," Madisyn states.
Cain and Hemming both nod their heads. The trio gathers their things and heads farther west. Around mid-afternoon, the group comes across a small ravine. The ravine is about eight feet deep and twelve feet across. It runs north and south until out of sight.
"This seems like a good spot," Cain says.
Madisyn gives a concerned look, "Do you think the force field is near. I don't want to jump down there and get electrocuted."
Hemming picks up a rock and tosses it into the ravine. It falls to the ground.
"Seems fine to me," he says.
Hemming jumps down into the ravine, and nothing happens.
"Perfectly safe," he says smiling.
Cain and Madisyn climb down and the group stays there for the rest of the evening.
At twilight, the Career teams return back to the Cornucopia disappointed that they didn't get a kill.
Day Three
Suave wakes the rest of the Careers early in morning.
"Wake up everyone! Today's going to be a busy day."
Everyone else slowly starts to get up.
"I think we should do the pairs again today. Passion and I can go to the barn. Ceta and Tybalt can search the orchard, leaving Maverick to guard."
Passion rakes her fingers through her blonde hair and says, "Alright sounds good. I'll start getting the food ready."
"No need to cook anything, it'll be a quick breakfast," Suave responds.
"But I'm so hungry," Tybalt whines.
"I'll pack a snack pack," Ceta whispers to him.
Tybalt grins. The Careers eat a quick breakfast and then leave to go hunting.
Julie walks through the orchard eating an apple for breakfast. Yesterday she found a stream and filled her canteen. She hasn't seen any other tributes since the Bloodbath. Julie spent most of yesterday setting up traps throughout the orchard. The land starts to slope downward and Julie comes to a ravine. It's a spacious path and Julie decides to follow it. She grips her sword tightly and walks on.
Abilene, Willa, and Terra finish their strips of jerky and finish off their bottle of water. They found a water source, a stream, about a half mile east of the barn. They filled their bottle full, but one bottle doesn't last too long between three girls especially in the heat. The girls decide to leave the hay loft to go refill their water bottle.
Terra and Abilene climb down first. Willa is about to climb down when the large barn doors open. Willa ducks back into the loft. Passion and Suave enter the barn. Terra and Abilene both scream. Suave wastes no time and chunks his spear into Terra's chest.
13. Terra Stein, 13, D3- Spear thrown into chest by Suave Fannigan, D1
Her cannon goes off and Abilene runs back to the ladder and tries to climb back up it. Passion runs over and pulls Abilene off the ladder and onto the floor. Passion holds her sword against Abilene's neck. Abilene is sobbing, snot and tears run down her face.
"Well, well two tributes in just a few minutes. Anybody else around?" Passion says coyly.
Abilene shakes her head, "No one else is here."
"Liar!" Passion yells and slices her sword against Abilene's cheek.
"Where's the other girl? The Seven girl," Suave says walking over.
"I...I don't know, she left yesterday to pick apples and never came back," Abilene says quickly.
Passion huffs and pouts her lips, "I don't enjoy liars."
Passion swings her sword and slashes it across Abilene's throat.
12. Abilene Gates, 13, D10- Throat slashed by Passion Nitz, D1
Blood gurgles out of the young girl's throat.
"Do you think she was really lying?" Suave asks.
"I'm not sure. We can still look around here."
The two Careers search the barn. They climb up the ladder to the hay loft. They find the supplies and rummage through it.
"Nothing of value here," Suave says.
"I guess she was right. There doesn't seem to be anyone else here."
The District One pair climb down and leave the barn. They never noticed the small girl hidden under a pile of hay crying silently.
After two hours Willa crawls out of the hay and gathers the supplies. She quickly climbs done and walks out of the barn. She can't stand to look at the pools of blood. Willa leaves the barn and heads south towards the orchard to pick apples.
Day Four
Eliza is the first to wake up. She picks a few apples and starts to eat one. She travels deeper into the orchard. She has a bottle filled with water, some jerky, and a sword. As long as she stays away from others she'll be able to survive for a long time.
Around noon she comes across a clearing. Three horses are grazing. Eliza is used to being around horses. She has two back home to help around the farm. Eliza walks into the clearing. One of the horses perks its head up and starts to walk towards Eliza. It nuzzles its head against her face. Eliza raises her hand to stroke its head. The horse whips his head and bites into Eliza's hand. She pulls her hand back. Blood is already flowing out of the wound. The horses all neigh and then run away from the clearing.
Eliza clutches her hand to her chest. She starts crying. A parachute falls from the sky and Eliza greedily opens it. Inside is a first aid kit. She immediately starts to treat her wound. She pours peroxide over it, smears some antibiotic cream, and then wraps it up in a bandage. Her hand is already starting to swell. She curses under her breath.
Cain walks south through the ravine. The group decided to split up and explore the ravine. Madison and Hemming are searching the northern part. Cain walks south and doesn't find anything of interest. He continues walking and turns a corner. He stops in his tracks up ahead is Julie. She stops walking when she sees him. Both tributes hold a sword in their hands. Julie squeaks and runs away. Cain chases after her. Julie trips over a rock and falls to the ground, skinning her hands and knees. Cain runs up and stabs his sword into her back.
11. Julie Manning, 16, D5- stabbed in the back by Cain Spence, D11
Cain takes his sword and wipes the blood off on the rocky ground. He decides that's enough exploring and heads back to base camp.
Ceta and Suave walk north past the barn. They're searching for tributes. Passion and Maverick are looking in the western part of the Arena. Tybalt is guarding the Cornucopia.
"I wonder whose that was," Ceta says after Julie's cannon booms.
"Hopefully Passion and Maverick got a kill. We're down to the top ten now."
"I know! I'm so excited!" Ceta says cheerfully.
The two come across a stream with a large oak tree growing on its bank.
"Do you want to take a break?" Ceta asks.
"Yeah sure. I bet you're really tired," Suave replies.
Ceta scoffs, "Excuse me but I'm perfectly fine. I can handle myself, my kills can prove that."
"Yeah, your two kills."
Ceta glares at Suave.
"Until I find another tribute," she says.
"I'm just saying, my three kills are better than your two," he smirks.
"I'm not an idiot, I know three is better than two, you dick."
Suave glares at Ceta and the two stare at each other.
"I think we should head back to the Cornucopia," Suave says standing up and walking away.
Ceta follows behind.
Day Five
Madisyn wakes up to the sound of rumbling. The ground is shaking underneath her. She quickly gathers her things and goes to wake Hemming and Cain.
"Wake up! We need to move now!" she shouts.
The two boys jump to their feet and get their stuff. The thundering gets louder. A cloud of dust can be seen in the distance.
"We need to go!" Madisyn shouts.
She grabs the two boys by the hand and pulls them. The three start running south. The chaos gets closer. Cain looks over his shoulder and yells.
"It's a stampede!" he yells.
A stampede of cattle chases after the trio. The cows are about ten meters behind them. The three run as fast as they can. They run out of the ravine, into the apple orchard. They jump to the side as the cattle continue their stampede. It takes a full minute before the last cow runs by.
"That was a close one," Hemming says panting.
Madisyn and Cain just nod their heads.
Eliza's hand is still swollen and bruised. She believes that it's broken. She can't move her fingers and it hurts to touch it. Thankfully it's her nondominant hand.
Eliza walks through the orchard. She holds her dagger and watches the area for tributes. She doesn't watch the trees though. Willa sits in a tree a few feet away and Eliza is walking straight towards her. Willa has a knife and waits for Eliza to pass below her.
Eliza continues to walk. Willa jumps from the tree onto Eliza's back and plunges the knife in her neck. Eliza collapses to the ground. She wraps her hand around her neck. Eliza chokes and coughs. Willa watches in horror and then a cannon booms.
10. Eliza Woden, 16, D9- stabbed in the neck by Willa Spitter, D7
Day Six
The Careers get up early. It's been two days since their last kill. They quickly eat and get ready to go hunting.
"Today Passion and I can go to the western hills. Maverick and Tybalt can search the orchard and Ceta can guard," Suave says.
Ceta looks upset to guard but it is her turn. Tybalt notices this and knows of her competition with Suave.
"I'll stay and guard. Ceta can go with Maverick since she hasn't gotten another kill," Tybalt says.
Ceta's eyes light up, "Really! Thanks!"
"I'm tired of walking all over the Arena and not seeing anything. I need a day of relaxation," Tybalt laughs.
"Okay, whatever, it doesn't matter who goes with who. Just meet back here," Suave says.
The Careers then go their separate ways.
Willa didn't get any sleep last night. Not after killing Eliza. She has apples to eat and can get water from the stream. Willa also has some jerky left. Willa stays in her tree for most of the day, trying to cope with the fact that she murdered someone.
Madisyn, Cain, and Hemming walk through the orchard. They took the stampede as a sign to move around more. The trio stops to refill their canteens in the stream. A spear flies through the air and lands in Cain's chest. A sickening thunk. Cain coughs up blood and falls to his knees.
9. Cain Spense, 18, D11- Spear thrown into chest by Ceta Floyd, D4
Maverick and Ceta run onto the scene. Before Madisyn or Hemming can react, Maverick slices his sword across Hemming's stomach. Madisyn fumbles with her pack and flees. Hemming tries to swing his sword but is too weak and falls to the ground.
8. Hemming Jones, 17, D8- Abdomen slashed by Maverick Sayles, D4
Ceta pulls her spear out of Cain's chest and throws it at Madisyn. Her throw is off and it sticks in the ground a few feet behind. Madisyn continues to run.
"Should we go after her?" Maverick asks.
"No, she needs to suffer the loss of her friends. We'll get her some other time," Ceta says back smirking.
Day Seven
Willa once again stays in here tree for most of the day. She's almost out of water and will have to venture to the stream sometime soon. Willa still doesn't sleep much and her mental stability is waning.
Madisyn roams the orchard aimlessly. She saw all her allies die in front of her. Madisyn didn't sleep much last night, but she's strong. She understands that she must avenge the deaths of her allies. She constantly holds a throwing knife in her hand, prepared for any attack. She won't make the same mistake twice.
Suave gathers all of the Careers together at the mouth of the horn.
"What are the hunting assignments for today?" Passion asks.
Suave shakes his head, "I think we all know that it's time for us to split up."
The others look slightly shocked but understand.
"There are only two outliers left," Maverick states.
"Exactly! I want a Career to win these Games. If we split we'll find the weak tributes in no time. Leaving it to be just us," Suave says.
"I agree. I think this is best," Ceta adds.
The Careers each gather a pack of supplies and their weapons and head off in different directions. Passion and Tybalt head west. Ceta goes south, Suave east, and Maverick goes north towards the barn.
Day Eight
Madisyn marches through the orchard looking tributes. Only the girl from Seven and the Careers remain. Yesterday, Madisyn was conflicted but now she knows that she must win for her allies and herself.
Madisyn makes it to a stream. Willa is there, huddled over filling a bottle with water. Willa turns her head and sees Madisyn. Madisyn grips her knife. Willa stands and faces Madisyn. Willa closes her eyes and spreads her arms.
"Make it quick," she whimpers.
Madisyn runs over and thrusts her knife into Willa's heart.
7. Willa Spitter, 14, D7- Stabbed in the heart by Madisyn Bates, D12
Each Career perks their heads up at the sound of the cannon. Either one of their own or an outlier is dead. They won't know until evening.
Day Nine
Passion is the first to wake up. She eats a few pieces of jerky and a biscuit. Passion is eager to kill the final outlier. She finds the ravine. Passion climbs down into it and starts heading south towards the orchard.
Tybalt finds the ravine around noon. He climbs down into it as well. It's not long before he runs into Passion.
Passion smiles, "Hello, Tybalt."
"Hey, Passion," Tybalt replies.
Tybalt unsheathes his sword and Passion raises an eyebrow.
"Are we going to do this now?" she smirks.
Tybalt shrugs his shoulders. Passion takes out her sword and charges. She slashes her sword and Tybalt blocks it. Shockwaves travel up both their arms. Tybalt swings and Passion jumps backwards. Passion wastes no time and swings again. Her sword cuts into Tybalt's left arm. Tybalt grits his teeth and keeps fighting. Their swords clash again. Tybalt kicks Passion in the shin and she collapses to the ground. Passion lands on her back and Tybalt plunges his sword into her chest.
6. Passion Nitz, 17, D1- Stabbed in the chest by Tybalt Brennan, D2
In the evening, the anthem plays and a portrait of Passion flashes across the sky. Madisyn looks up smiling. She's closer to victory. Passion was a strong tribute, and her death means a good thing for Madisyn.
Suave curses when he sees the image of Passion. He's confused on how she could have died. "Did one of the other Careers turn on her?" he asks himself. Suave climbs up a nearby tree and settles in for the night.
Day Ten
Ceta moves through the orchard quickly. She's looking for the last outlier, Madisyn. Suave is somewhere in the orchard as well. Ceta knows that he will be angry and on the hunt since Passion died. Ceta and Suave are tied on their number of kills now. Ceta hopes to find Madisyn sometime today to make her kill count four while Suave's is three.
Maverick has been staying inside the barn most of the time since the split. He walks around in the surrounding fields for about an hour before coming back to the barn. He has plenty of supplies to last him a few more days. He plans to start moving around more once Madisyn is dead.
Madisyn comes to the mouth of the ravine. She ponders on whether or not she should go down in it. She eventually decides to enter. Maybe she can find a place to hide down there.
After thirty minutes of walking, she encounters Tybalt. Neither seems shocked by the other. Madisyn already has her knife ready. Tybalt brandishes his sword and charges forward. Madisyn steps to the side and flings her knife. The knife lodges itself in Tybalt's neck. He stops and pulls the knife out. Blood starts to flow from the wound. He tries to speak but only gurgling sounds come out. Tybalt falls to the ground and a cannon sounds. Madisyn runs over, takes his pack and keeps moving on.
5. Tybalt Brennan, 17, D2- Knife thrown into neck by Madisyn Bates, D12
Day Eleven
Early in the morning, Maverick wakes up to the smell of smoke. He jumps up when he notices the barn is on fire. Maverick grabs his pack and sword. The smoke burns his eyes and he pulls his shirt over his mouth. He finds the barn doors but they're lodged shut. Rafters start to fall and the walls creak. Maverick uses his sword to chop away the door. He manages to make a hole and crashes through the door. He lands on the ground outside. He coughs and starts to crawl away from the inferno. The flames stretch upwards and the barn starts to collapse on itself. Maverick then passes out.
The tributes all wake up at various times of the day. They all roam the Arena in search of one another. Even Maverick looks once he wakes up. It's a long day and no deaths occur.
Day Twelve
The tributes spend the morning looking for one another. The Gamemakers release bull mutts at noon to herd the tributes together.
Ceta walks in the orchard when she spots a metallic bull with red eyes. She recognizes it as a mutt and starts to run.
Ceta yells, "Yehaw!"
She realizes this must be the finale. She sprints to the Cornucopia.
Madisyn is at the pond in the western part of the Arena. She hears a blowing noise and turns around. The bull mutt is pawing the ground with its head low. Madisyn instinctively throws a knife. It harmlessly bounces off the metal bull. The bull charges. Madisyn jumps to the side but the bull still manages to stab its horn into her right thigh. Madisyn screams and the bull runs into the pond. Madisyn starts to limp away. She knows this must be the finale and heads to the Cornucopia.
Ceta is the first to arrive at the Cornucopia. She spots Suave running towards her. When he gets near the Cornucopia his bull stops chasing and walks back to the orchard, the same as Ceta's did. Suave makes it to the Cornucopia and spots Ceta.
"What's your count!" He shouts.
"Still three!" Ceta yells back.
"You didn't kill Passion or Tybalt?" Suave asks a little confused.
"Nope, but I'm about to kill you," Ceta says chunking her spear.
Suave ducks and rolls out of the way. The spear lands a few feet away. Ceta gasps as Suave runs towards her. Ceta tries to remove her dagger. Suave tackles the girl. The two fall to the ground but Suave gets the upper hand and pins Ceta to the ground.
"Four," he says slyly.
Tears swell in Ceta's eyes. Suave takes his knife and slices her throat. Suave laughs maniacally as Ceta chokes on her blood.
4. Ceta Floyd, 15, D4- throat slit by Suave Fannigan, D1
Maverick makes it to the Cornucopia as Ceta's cannon booms. He sees Suave sitting on top of Ceta's body laughing. Maverick runs over to Suave and stabs his sword into Suave's back.
3. Suave Fannigan, 18, D1- Stabbed in the back by Maverick Sayles, D4
His cannon booms. Maverick looks around in search of the last remaining tribute. Madisyn limps out of the tall grass. Blood trails down her leg. Tears stream down Madisyn's face. She holds a knife in her hand. Maverick has his sword.
Madisyn throws the knife and it lands in Maverick's shoulder. Maverick rips the knife from his shoulder and flings it to the ground. Madisyn starts to run and try to make it to the Cornucopia. Maverick chases after her. Madisyn makes it inside and searches for a weapon. She opens a crate and pulls out a hatchet. Madisyn turns around and Maverick is there. Maverick stabs his sword into Madisyn's chest. Madisyn swings the hatchet and it cuts into Maverick's leg.
Both fall down. Blood pools on the ground. Madisyn swings the hatchet again, but Maverick manages to roll out of the way. Madisyn cries out in pain and anger. She throws the hatchet and it lands a few feet away. Her breathing stops and a cannon booms.
2. Madisyn Bates, 18, D12- Stabbed in the chest by Maverick Sayles, D4
"Congratulations, Maverick Sayles of District Four! You are the Victor of the 79th Hunger Games!"
Maverick slowly makes it to his feet and gives a weak smile. The hovercraft quickly arrives and he is lifted up into it.
