The Family Games

Hello everyone, it's Emilia here with a themed Hunger Games: The Family Games. Imagine if not only you had to compete in the Hunger Games against other tributes, but what if you had to compete against your sibling or cousin?

Behind the Story
These games take place 50 years after the events of Mockingjay, when one of the presidental canidates noticed that nobody remembered the cost that the districts paid when they rebelled the first time. So, once that president was voted in, he annouced to the public that in one year's time, the Hunger Games would be put back into play. For the first three years, the themes of the Hunger Games would be themes that have to do with which tributes are reaped into them. The first of these games required two siblings of the same family to go and participate in the Hunger Games. For these first three years, no volunteers were allowed, no matter the circumstance. If someone volunteered, the Peacekeepers were given the order to executed the person who would have volunteered on the spot. These series of three games were brutal to remind the Districts (and Capitol) that they can never forget the uprisings against the Capitol.

Rules
1. Only two siblings or cousins per family and three families per user.

2. There will be two victors from these games (due to each family entering two tributes each)

3. For this series I'm writing, I will not put in any of my tributes unless necessary.

4. Also, no crying when your tributes die

5. For your families, it doesn't matter what age, gender or district any of your family comes from.

6. If needed, siblings can be either blood siblings or cousins.

7. Training Scores chosen by Random Number Generator, but range is what is reasonable for that speciic tribute.

Basically, the arena is the same as the one from the first movie. (So lots of trees and such)

Reapings
I'm going to do two major POVs for this part, and one or two other reapings for each POV that the tributes from that particular district watch.

Amity Rose: District 7

I wake up to a sentence ringing in my ears: Two siblings or cousins per family will be reaped into a Hunger Games. Next to me, my older sister, Spring, is peacefully asleep with her eyelids closed gently. Do I really have the guts to kill one of my sisters or brother in these games if we were reaped in? Personally, I would rather kill myself then kill one of my siblings, and my siblings feel the same way. I look at the clock on my wall. It's 9:00am, one hour until the reaping starts. I wake up Spring and we get ready for the reaping.

By 9:45am, August, Spring, Fawn and I are leaving our house, walking to the square. Once we arrive in the square, I see screens on either side of the stage. Is our district also going to see other reapings from other districts? As I stand with my family, my question is conirmed as I see our escort, a male dressed in a leather brown suit with straight black hair and a goatee walks on stage.

"Good morning tributes and welcome to the reaping ceremony for this year's Hunger Games. As the new president has enacted, the tributes reaped for these games will be siblings or cousins from the same family. No volunteers are allowed. If you volunteer, you will be executed on the spot. Before we reap our tributes, we will be watching some reapings from other districts. Thank You."

A screen powers on, and I'm looking at the Capitol's grand sqaure. The escort has reached into a bowl and reads a sentence.

"Reaped from the Grace Family: Amity Grace and Emil Grace."

Two teenagers in blonde hair look at each other and start to walk up to the stage. The girl takes a look towards the camera and gives off a worried look. She can't be much older than 17, but her face is full of innocence. Is she trying to act innocenct, but set herself up as a threat later? Her brother, on the other hand, has the looks of a supermodel. Hopefully, he isn't just there for eyecandy... The other four reapings pass by, each less entertaining then the less. I notice some vengerful looks, screams, tears and silence among each of them. By the time they are done, my feet are sore from standing so long. I take a look at my watch: It's 10:30 am, and our district's reaping has begun.

Our escort moves over to a big glass bowl containing strips of paper. I wonder how many combinations of family members are in there. From my perspective, I think approxitmately 200 slips are in that bowl at least. Then, the escort picks up a slip of paper, moves back to mic and reads out the sentence on it:

"Reaped from the Rose Family: Amity Rose and August Rose."

I take a glance at my brother, who gives me a nervous glance and I return it with a worried look of my own. Spring and Fawn start to cry, but they know that there is nothing they can do about it. Me and brother walk up to the stage, hand in hand. The escort asks us our names, and my brother and I say them with a hint of nervousness in our voices. Then we face the crowd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, our tributes, Amity and August Rose!," our escort starts, "Good luck, and may the odds ever be in your favor."

I turn to my brother and we shake our hands. I shoot one last glance at Spring and Fawn before my brother and I are taken inside the Justice Building.

Honeysickle Ash: District 5

The cool air of the forest brushes up against my cheek as I run through the forest back to my house. After the annoucement of having to compete against siblings, I broke down and spent the night in the forest. NEVER, under any circumstances, would I ever enjoy killing my sister if it came down to it. I may be vengeful and a cold-blooded killer, but that doesn't mean that I don't have feelings. Especially towards my sister. I finally make it back to my house just as my sister, Honeyscythe, pops her head out of a window and calls my name. If anything, I don't want to be late for the reapings.

Our escort, a lady with hot pink hair and a silver dress that reaches her ankles, comes up on stage. "Welcome tributes to the Reapings for the Family Games. If you watched the program, then you know the rules. But before our reapings, we're going to go live to some of the other districts and watch some of their reapings."

We all turn our heads to the television screens set up beside us. Reapings across Panem flash before my eyes. Most of the tributes reaped are brother and sister, usually twins. But the reaping from District 13 is the one that catches my eye the most.

A hunky man walks over to a bowl and pulls out a slip of paper and reads it aloud

"Tributes from the Burn Family: Scarlet Burn from District 9 and Amber Burn from District 13."

Two redheads walk up to the stage together. Once they were up on the stage, the two girls gave each other icy glares. They must be mortal enemies to each other, because it seems like they hate each other. The program ends and our escort walks back up to the stage.

"Well, it's time to choose our tributes." Our escort proclaims as she walks over to a glass bowl and draws a slip of paper and walks by the mic before reading the sentence on the sheet of paper.

"Tributes from the Ash Family: Honeysickle Ash and Honeysycthe Ash."

My sister and I look at each other concerned, but we walk hand in hand up to the stage. The escort looks pleased as she asks us our names. Both of us proclaim them proudly before the escort returns to the mic

"Ladies and Gentlemen, out tributes or this year's Hunger Games," the escort starts, "Honeysickle and Honeyscythe Ash. May the odds be ever in your favor ladies."

Me and my sister shake hands as we enter the Justice Building. I've been chosen for the games, but so have my sister, and there is a chance that one of us will have to kill the other.

Interviews
Two tribute POVs are chosen for the interviews.

Nathaniel Hiscotch: District 2

I take a deep breath and close my eyes. The training is over, everyone has been reaped in and I've had a chance to show the other tributes that I'm a threat, but not a cold-blooded killer. The suit my stylist chose for me isn't too spectacular: just a gold tie, a Gray-black suit and gold shoes to match the tie. Soon enough, I hear Caesar Flickerman call out my name:

"Our next tribute to be interviewed: Nathaniel Hiscotch from District 2!"

I walk onto the stage and try not to get nervous. My eyes scan across probably 45,000 colorful and crazy wigs before sitting down in the circular chair beside Caesar and face the camera. The famous interviewer starts asking me some questions.

"Is it true that you and your sister aren't allying with the Careers?" Caesar asks me.

I reply: "Well, I guess so. My sister and I thought that if we allied together, we would increase our chances of having one of us win."

After the mention of my sister, Caesar asks the one question I wish he wouldn't ask:

"If you had to Nathaniel, would you die for your sister?"

I think about the question for a moment before replying to Caesar "If it meant that she could win the games and honour the district, then yes, I would die for her. "

I heard a little tick and Caesar closed off the interview. Then, I walked off stage and closed my eyes. All the memories of my family's deaths came rushing back. I felt a tear roll across my cheek as I dwelled on all of the awful things that I went through as a kid. The I remembered that I needed to be strong and leave the past in the past.

Mindy Hills: District 1:

I feel the light material of my dress swish around me. My stylist chose a magenta dress with a mermaid skirt that drags across the floor. This year, the order for the interviews was randomized. I was impressed with the public-speaking and charming skills of some tributes. But Caesar hasn't met me yet. By the time I walk on stage, the audience erupts with applause as I grace the stage before I take my seat.

Caesar looks ecstatic to see me and his face breaks into a huge smile before the questions start.

"So Mindy," Caesar asks, "What do you think of the idea of the games this year?

"I think," I reply, "That the idea of competing against your siblings will increase viewer ratings. More publicity! More heartbreak! But best of all, drowning glory for the two victors!"

The audience bursts into applause again, screaming my name like I was a celebrity. Caesar had to wait a few moments before asking questions. The interview went well, as I charmed the audience and felt confident that me and my brother would win. Before I knew it, I was leaving the stage with Capitol citizens screaming my name and overjoyed. But, once I got offstage, I found a little room and I sat down and cried. I could act for the Capitol people and the cameras, being happy ALL the time, but what would my beloved fans think of me once the Games begin? Sure I had skills and talent, but the emotional trama of the games? I took a deep breath before returning to my room.

The Games
And so, let the Family Games Begin!!

Day 1: Bloodbath and the Plan
Hanna McKerdeen: District 10

I get lifted up on my pedalstool into the arena. My first impression: Lots of trees. A perfect place to hide from tributes with my brother. Then the thought of competing against him in a games that was a million miles from winning. Soon, the countdown begins and I remember my role: grab some supplies and run. On my left is the girl from 0 and on my right is the boy from 4. I focus my attention to the cornucopia. Once there is only about fifteen seconds left, the girl besides me loses her balance and falls off her pedalstool. I hear her cannon go off almost immediately. BOOM.

I think that the first cannon shocks us all a little and everyone gets shaken up a little. Soon enough the gong goes and the Family Games have began.

I find myself running towards the cornucopia to get some supplies when I see the boy from District 1 coming up behind me. He tackles me down and I try to squirm free, but it's no use. He drags me inside the cornucopia, where it's dark and metallic inside. Then, he starts to punch me in the face and continues to beat me until I'm on death's doorstep. Then he asks me:

"Any last words weakling?"

I reply: "Brother, see me on the other side." Soon enough, I hear the BOOM of my cannon go off as I fall into enteral darkness.

Octavia Blake: District 4

As soon as the gong goes off, I'm off my platform and running like a cheetah towards the cornucopia to grab a weapon before I go and maim someone. Beside me, I see a fellow Career beating a girl from nine with her spiked mace. I almost feel pity for the little girl as she is tortured without second chance. Then I remember, these are the family games, not the relaxation games. Eventually, I get to the cornucopia and grab my machete just as the little girl's cannon go BOOM. Instead of stopping to ponder, I move quickly and head outside to go kill a weakling.

Running into the cornucopia is the girl from District 12. I see my chance to make my first kill of these games. Without thinking, I launch at her and slice her with my sharp machete. She falls down, and I don't stop stabbing her until I hear her cannon go.

BOOM.

I find my brother tapping on my shoulder. I thought at first that he was trying to congratulate me, but instead he was pointing out two girls running away, talking to one another. They are probably have had one of their family members killed in the bloodbath and are plotting revenge. I don't go after them and instead stay behind and pick up some supplies.

Tim Thorburn: District 11

BOOM. A cannon makes me look back behind my shoulder.

"Everything Ok?" Kim asks me as we navigate our way through the woods.

"Yeah," I reply "Just another dead tribute I guess."

We continue making our way through the forest when we meet up with Blaar. Obviously his sibling has died, because he has tears cling from his eyes. Blaar tells about a plan that two of the little girls came up with. Obviously, if it was against the Careers, we would hope that they would succeed in their plan. As sunset approaches, we make camp by a big tree in the woods for some shade as we fall asleep.

Amber Burn: District 13

As sunset approaches, me and Savannah start to put plan in order: murder Mindy Hills cleanly and get away quickly and quietly. The two of us make our way towards the Career camp. Savannah gets her tranquilizer dart ready as we make our way towards the Cornucopia.

The Careers send out two guards to encounter us: Mindy and my evil cousin, Scarlet. As soon as Savannah is in range, she shoots down Mindy and I knee Scarlet in the head. Both fall unconscious. I grab Scarlet's spear and I help Savannah drag Mindy to the woods.

Once Mindy is where we want her, I get to work. But, I give Savannah a quick glance and she nods her head at me as to say 'go ahead'.

I start by spearing Mindy in the stomach, then in the two temples. As soon as I'm done stabbing the temples, I hear a BOOM confirming Mindy dead. The two of us run away, leaving Mindy's dead body behind. We try not to grin or giggle as we walk away from our mission successfully.

Day 2: The First Battle
Kim Thorburn: District 11

I wake up to a BOOM of a cannon ringing in my ears. Then I realize that Tim is missing. So, leaving Blaar behind, I check out the damage.

For about an hour, I walk around until I see Tim's body laying across the forest floor, long dead. I mourn at his feet for a few minutes before making my way back towards Blaar. I inform him of the situation about Tim and he comforts me in a sort of sibling way that I needed. Then, we got together our supplies and we moved further west away from the rest of the tributes.

There is a heavy silence between me and Blaar. Perhaps because we have both lost our siblings, we know what each other is feeling.

Adam Hills: District 1

I feel free after killing that useless little Tim kid. After all, he killed my sister and he needs to pay a price. I decided that the famous Honeysickle needs to prove her skills to me, so we decided to take a little hunting trip away from the rest of the Careers.

We follow a worn forest path likely used by many other tributes trying to escape our mighty alliance. So far, we encounter no tributes or alliances as we make our way to a tribute camp along route.

During the hike, Honeysickle and I talk about our back stories a little more. I'm surprised about her violent personality because she sure hasn't showed it yet. After an hour of walking, we accidentally stumble across a tribute camp.

Amity Grace: Capitol

I wake to the supposed sound of birds in my ear, but all I hear is silence. My brother stirs beside me as I replay the announcement in my head: "Tonight's feature battle: Amity Grace vs Amity Rose. Whoever is killed first will have their sibling blown up! May the odds be in your favour miss."

I sit up and see Star cooking up something that could be passed as breakfast. Emil is still snoring beside me. But the sound of footsteps makes me and Star jump slightly. We then see two of the most powerful Careers coming towards us: Adam and Honeysickle.

Star steps in front of me as to protect me from the Careers.

"Adam, take me. Amity is needed alive for some big battle tonight. Don't touch her or her brother. "

As soon as Star finishes speaking, Adam nods to Honeysickle and faster then anyone should have, Honeysickle buries and axe into Star's chest. BOOM

I get a little emotional, but I silently thank Star for sacrificing himself to the Careers so that I could live. I pull out our only weapon, a spear, and start to prepare for battle.

Amity Rose: District 7

The evening could have not come quick enough. The battle is going to begin soon and I feel prepared. August helped me brush up on some fighting techniques. Both of head to the arena and waiting for us there are the Grace siblings. Amity looks focused and Emil looks as gorgeous as ever. Sigh, if only I didn't have to battle the other Amity. Oh well. We are each handed one weapon of our choice. The other Amity takes a trident while I take a set of throwing knives. Eventually, we faced each other and the battle began.

I started the combat by throwing a knife into the other Amity's trident-wielding arm and she howls in pain. She starts to move towards me, in pain. I draw a knife, thinking that I had the battle won, but then Amity revealed that she was yielding her trident in her weak hand and she rolled between my legs and stabbed me in the behind. Now we have a real battle, I thought

I ran and threw two knives into the other Amity's thighs, but she dodge one of them, yet the other one nicked her left thigh, causing her to scream again in pain. But still, she came towards me. But instead of spearing me, she tackled me down. We were positioned right in front of Emil and I got embarrassed and shut my eyes. That is when the other Amity made her move.

She caught me off guard and plunged her trident in my stomach and the last thing I heard was a big BOOM

Emil Grace: Capitol

I sighed in relief as the battle was going on. The other Amity thought that I was gorgeous. Well good for her. She can take that moments to her grave. After what becomes a long battle, my sister finally emerges victorious, after hearing a BOOM of her cannon and then her brother's right after.

I gave her a huge hug and we started to head back to our little camp to settle down and sleep for the evening. But then, I heard a BOOM of a cannon and saw a girl standing in the distance. I recognized her as Kim. When I approached her, she asked me a question: Could I be your ally?

I first got her to sit down and tell her story. Apparently, both of her allies were killed a mysterious force that no one knew of. All of us decided to go investigate what was up with the Careers to see if one of the tributes had turned into a psychopath.

Day 3: Flight or Fight
Emil Grace: Capitol

I wake up to the slight of trees all around me. For a minute, I hallucinate that I am back in my house with Amity and Aurora, sleeping comfortably.

Then, remembering that I am in an arena with tributes looking to kill me changes my mind.

I see Amity and Kim are all ready up and ready to go on our adventure. So, we head out to the cornucopia when suddenly, we hear the sound of Jabberjays. Well, they sounded like people we personally knew. All of us were affected, but my sister got it the worst.

She had her knees bunched to her chest and she was shaking like she was mad. Eventually, she fell down like she had fainted. At least I thought she had, but I heard the worst sound of the universe to confirm that my sister had died.

BOOM

I started to cry, and Kim came by me and tried to comfort me, but both of us knew that it was no use. Then suddenly, out in the open, I see two little girls running towards us, weapons not at the ready. It looks like they were coming to talk to me and Kim.

Savannah Darnell: District 9

It definitely wasn't my idea to go and ally with Emil and Kim. It was Amber's idea. Apparently, she decided that she might want some backup for a battle she heard about between Scarlet and her. So, we ran around the woods all morning, trying to find them.

Eventually, we found them in the woods, hovering over a body that was likely Emil's sister, since Tim had died two nights ago. We asked them if we could be allies and they said we could.

In the afternoon, the four of us walk down to the Cornucopia where Scarlet is waiting for us. Amber walks toward her, and Scarlet walks towards her cousin. They grab their weapons of choice, a spear for Scarlet and a mace for Amber and me, Emil and Kim watch the battle between the two cousins that hate each other.

The battle starts out ok. Amber charges Scarlet to go and hit her on the temple, but Scarlet dodges Amber's swing and doesn't get hit. Amber tries again, but Scarlet has knocked her flat on her back with the butt end of her spear. While down, Amber hits Scarlet in the gut with her hammer and she starts to howl. Then in a split second, Scarlet throws her spear at Amber and impales her. Amber can't move and eventually, Amber's cannon goes

BOOM

Me, Emil and Kim are sad to see Amber dead, but now we need to fight in her name and win these games for her. Soon enough, the sun starts to set and me and my new allies head out to the woods.

Scarlet Burn: District 13

It is late in the evening as I'm running through the woods. After what the Capitol made me do, killing my cousin, it doesn't seem right to be bathed in the reward of having the guts to kill your family member. Sure, it helps when the two of you are mortal enemies, but that doesn't mean you always have to hate each other. Eventually, I put some ground between the cornucopia and myself and I settle down to go to sleep.

During my sleep, I have bad dreams about my family fighting because I had the guts to kill my own cousin, the Capitol rejoicing when they see me vanquish Amber, but worst of all, I have a dream about getting dragged about in the woods and then someone shooting me.

I wake up when I feel a dragging motion pulling me away. I look up and find myself staring into the eyes of Adam Hills. But the question is: why does he want me? Is he taking me back to the Careers? Or is trying to kill me.

Eventually, he leads me to a makeshift table and lays me on it. afterwords, he bounds me with rope so that I cannot escape. Then, he starts to beat me up. At first, it doesn't hurt so bad, but later on, I start howling in pain. Before he takes his next blow, Adam asks me a question:

"Scarlet, did you kill my sister?"

I suddenly remember the plan about kiling Mindy that I overheard from Savannah and Amber. But, I haven't seen Savannah since the bloodbath, so I don't know where the heck she is in this arena. So I reply to Adam:

"I didn't do it! It was forsake cousin who plotted to kill your sister! I didn't lay a hand on your sister AT ALL. JUST LET ME GO!!"

Adam looks at me with a smirk and counters my reply:

"Well, your cousin is dead and you are the other relative of her in this arena. I guess that means that her perfectly innocent cousin will have to pay her price."

Adam gives me two hard blows to the temple as my cannon goes BOOM

Honeyscythe Ash: District 5

Me and my sister wake up to the sound of a cannon. All of the other careers have slept through it, thank goodness. Adam wasn't around at all during the night, which made the Careers keep having to sleep with one eye open. I kept hearing the cannons regularly at night around the same time, but one thing I noticed: Adam was never here when the cannons went off. I quietly whisper to my sister:

"Honeysickle, do you notice anything weird with Adam at all? Like does he seem insane at all?"

My sister replies: "Not really, though I never notice him around here at night. Doesn't that mean that he is killed? Or is he on a purge of the tributes?

I nod my head when Honeysickle mentions the "purge of the tributes". Then, at the same time, both of us grin because we know what to do next: It's time to sabatoge the Careers.

During the night, we pack up all of the best Career supplies we can fit in our packs, leaving everyone else with genric survival items like bread and dried fruit, along with a few weapons that we didn't need. Eventually, my sister and I head off to the woods, looking for a little girl named Savannah Darnell...

Day 4: Preperation for the Feast
Kim Thorburn: District 11

I wake up to the sound of an announcement from the gamemakers:

"Tributes: Tomorrow at this time, we invite you to come to a feast. What's at stake: A pack that has ANYTHING you could dream of having in the games. But how do you get it: Come to feast! But, the only way to escape is to either kill someone of be killed yourself. After a cannon goes off, you have a 15 second gap to escape the arena before the forcefield closes. Lastly, any tributes at the Feast at sunset will be beheaded by the gamemakers. This will be your only annoucement."

A feast filled with everything you could imagine? Now that would be worth having. I see Emil and Savannah still sleeping, so I decided to go out for a little hunt to gather some food.

As I walk through the woods, I hear an unmistakeable bark that sounds like the dogs back home in District 11. Eventually, it comes out from it's hiding space and it is the most beautiful dog that I have ever seen. It has brown fur with cute puppy eyes. It starts to walk towards me and I walk towards it. Once I start to pet the little cute dog, the dog crawls up to my head and bites me in the temple. I screa in pain and realize that the cute dog was a mutt. I try to go after it, but I stumble and trip on the tree roots in front of me. Seriously, I think, I die because of a mutt bite to my head? Soon enough I close my eyes and the last thing I hear is an unmistakleable BOOM.

Nichole Hiscotch: District 2

My brother and I wake up to the sound of a cannon. A tribute already gone this morning? We talk about the annoucement of the feast with one another. A pack filled with whatever survival supplies you could imagine? That sounds like something we could use for the better. My brother and I decide to go adventuring for supplies around the orest.

As we walk by, I can't help but think about the effect that these games have had on me. Siblings fighting siblings sounded like an awful idea, but getting reaped into a games where killing your family member might be the only way to glory? That just sounds awful. Suddenly, as we are adventuring, we see a tunnel that looks like it leads to a secret area that no one knows about yet. My broter and I decide to follow it and see where it leads.

It takes us all morning and most of the afternoon to go through the tunnel at a walking pace, but eventually, we find the ladder to go up. We climb it up to the top and realize that we are in the Cornucopia! My brotehr and I shriek with joy, because now we have the upper hand going into this feast. We have a way to get in and out of the arena without actually killing anyone. We decide to camp out the night in the Cornucopia and wait for the feast in the morning.

Honeysickle Ash: District 5

After walking in the woods for what seems like forever, my sister and I finally come across Savannah and her little alliance with Emil. As soon as they see us, Savannah and Emil start to give worried glances. But, to show we come in peace, we give a little surrender to thm and ask to talk with them. They agree and we sit down. I start by asking the inevitable question:

"Emil and Savannah, we were wondering if you would like to ally with us going into the feast?"

With worried glances, they eventually agree. Then we start to talk strategy:

"Did the gamemaker who made the annoucement," started Emil, "ever mention that EVERYONE had to participate in the feast?"

Me, Savannah and Honeyscythe all nod our heads as if to say no.

"So then Emil," I reply, "You are thinking EXACTLY what I am thinking, right? We can divide our alliance into two squads: one sqaud of two goes to the feast while the other two don't. Me and Honeyscythe have this cool toy that can ocus in on one tribute. If we happen to find the tribute with the survival pack, the other half can go hunt them down. Since I know how to use this fun toy, I'll stay out of the feast. If I were to take any of you with me, it would likely be Savannah, since she needs the most amount of 'protection' Emil and Honeyscythe, are you guys game for going into the feast?"

Emil and my sister nod their heads in agreement. So, we have our strategy set as we head to bed for the night.

Alliances and Feast Strategies
Alliances after Day 4 (Leaders bolded and second-in-command in italics):

Careers: Adam Hills (1), Octavia Blake (4), Bellamy Blake (4)

Hiscotch Alliance: Nichole Hiscotch (2), Nathaniel Hiscotch (2)

Mixed Alliance: Savannah Darnell (9), Honeyscythe Ash (5), Honeysickle Ash (5), Emil Grace (Capitol)

Loner: Katta McKerdeen (10)

Feast Strategies:

Careers: Every Career is going into in order of having a better chance of getting the survival pack.

Hiscotch Alliance: Both are in the feast, but since they are hiing in the Cornucopia, they will likely re-hide the survival pack and go and kill 1 or 2 tributes. Then, they will use the escape route they have and take the survival bag with them.

Mixed Alliance: Honeyscythe and Emil are going into the feast to get the survival pack while Honeysickle and Savannah track down the tribute with the survivfal pack and steal it from them unless Honeyscythe or Emil has it. If Honeyscythe or Emil has a bag, they will kill someone as means of escaping with the bag.

Loner: Katta will go to the feast for the survival pack because he barely has any supplies.

(Also, throughout the feast, in the different sections, I'm going to note who has died, who is still at the feast and those who have escaped (including non-attendies).

Day 5: Secondary Bloodbath (The Feast)
At the feast: Nichole Hisctoch (2), Nathaniel Hiscotch (2)

Deaths at the feast: No one, yet

Tributes who have escaped or aren't attending: Savannah Darnell (9, did not attend), Honeysickle Ash (5, did not attend)

Bellamy Blake: District 4

The careers and I wake up to a morning of bright sunshine and warmer weather then expected. We all get up and take what is left of our supplies and head out to the Cornucopia. Those stupid Ash twins, they will pay for stealing our supplies, but mostly, our technology. I bet because they are both strong, both of them will be there. And I hope that they will die for stealing our stuff.

We arrive just outside the feast and find ourselves looking into a dome. Our leader, Adam, divides us into two groups. Octavia will go ahead and spot for us, but once she has been in there for about three minutes, me and Adam will come in and overpower everyone. Looking into the arena, I see the Hiscotch siblings, Emil from the Capitol, the loner from 10 and one of the Ash twins. Unfourtunatly, I don't think that she was the more powerful one, but still, she will die because of stealing our supplies.

The loner from District 10 advances into the arena but quickly, he is taken down by the older Hiscotch sibling, Nichole. She throws an axe into his stomach and kills him. I hear a cannon go BOOM, but no one has escaped yet. So far, the feast looks fairly calm with only one kill and no one has escaped yet. But sometimes, things don't go to plan and I can't prepare myself for what happens next.

Nathaniel Hiscotch: District 2

I give my sister a pat on the back after she killed that boy from 10. Sure, he didn't posed a great threat and it never feels good to eliminate someone from the Games, but it neccessary. Then, Nichole whispers to me: Go to the Cornucopia and run. The other tributes didn't know what was happening because they obviously hadn't found the secret tunnel yet. So I ran to the Cornucopia until I realized that someone was following me there. The girl from 4 was behind me, obviously planning what I was going to do, so I had to take some detours.

I jogged around the open area through combat between the tributes. I was able to dodge most of the attacks, but I got a couple of bad slashes. My follower, on the other hand, got in some rough shape. Then I decided, it was time to end it. I ran towards my stalker and tackled her down onto the ground. We rolled around, trying to hit each other until I got her on the floor, her back towards me. She was screaming out a name that I couldn't recognize at all, but it sounded like her sibling. I finished her off by plunging a knife into her spine. Then, to confirm her death, I heard a BOOM.

Before I knew it, I ran towards the Cornucopia and just before I got there, I looked behind me and saw that her brother was throwing a spear towards me. I ducked just in time as the spear sailed over top of me, almost touching my head. I ran down into the cornucopia until I saw something horrifying happen.

Emil Grace: Captiol

After the death of Octavia, Honeyscythe escaped the bloodbath of the feast before she could get anymore hurt. But what I don't understand is this: Where is the survival pack in the first place? I hadn't seen it anywhere, but you would imagine that it would be in somewhat of plain sight at this point in time. I saw the yonger Hiscotch sibling running towards the cornucopia and I decided to follow him there.

Once inside the Cornucopia, I found the little turkey hiding in a corner, like a little child. To coax him to come out, I taunted him about how he was a little baby and that was why he never became a Career. He came out and faced me. I pursued him out into the field, somewhat close to the Cornucopia and i threw a lone dagger at him that was lying on the ground. I expected for him to die, but instead, I saw a girl that looked similar to him getting plunged with the knife instead. It hit her in to heart and she crumpled down as soon as her cannon went BOOM. I saw the boy try to comfort his sister and he was crying, but somehow, he threw a knie into my leg so that I couldn't escape easily. Then, he ran off quickly into the Cornucopia and I never saw him again.

I turned to face those who were left, Adam and Bellamy, until I realized it was too late. The sun had set and the Capitol was about to have our heads. All three of us were dead men. BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Day 5: The Ultimate Sacrifice (The Finale, nighttime of Day 5)
Quick Recap of the Feast:

Deaths at the Feast (in order of death): Katta McKerdeen (10), Octavia Blake (4), Nichole Hiscotch (2), Emil Grace (Capitol), Bellamy Blake (4), Adam Hills (1)

Escapees (or non-attenders): Savannah Darnell (9, did not attend), Honeysickle Ash (5, did not attend), Honeyscythe Ash (5, escaped after death of Octavia), Nathaniel Hiscotch (2, escaped after the death of Nichole)

Savannah Darnell: District 9

Honeysickle and I had sat around in the forest all morning and afternoon, not sure about who to look for. Then, we decided that we should try and find Nathaniel. The compass showed us that he was in the forest, about three miles away. So me and Honeysickle gathered our supplies and headed to the place where Nathaniel was.

During the walk, I thought about the entrity of these games: the Bloodbath, the Battles and the Feast and how gruesome they were. Not because of violence, but because of having to compete against your family. I had seen Careers and my allies die and it always brought me to tears how the Capitol could ever enjoy this kind of entertainment. Sure, they liked the Hunger Games normally, but watching it with the tributes being more emotional because the victims are sometimes those who they knew and lived with everyday? Now that made me sad and angry. If only those viewers could see me now, and me wishing that they were reaped instead of us so that they would have to live with the pain of losing friends and family instead of us tributes.

Finally, we ran into Nathaniel, who was running towards us. Honeysickle had her axe at the ready and I had y minature blowgun. We were about to go head-to-head with one another when suddenly, an earthquake split the entire forest in half, with Honeysickle and I on one side and Nathaniel on the other. I was about to shoot a dart at him when suddenly, a blur came out from behind him and tackled him down, causing him to fall into the earthquake. BOOM

It was Honeyscythe who tackled him down. At first, I thought that she would climb up and that I would be a dead kid, but Honeyscythe was having some issues hanging on to the edge and she was losing her grip on the ledge. Honeysickle was shouting at her, telling her that she could do it, but looked like she was in pain. That is when Honeyscythe spoke her last:

"Savannah, take care of my sister for me, ok? I don't want her getting hurt. As for you Honeysickle, my sisterr, I'll see you on the other side kid."

Honeyscythe lost her grip on the edge and she fell into the pit created by the earthquake. BOOM

Epilogue: Fixing the Heartbreak
Approximately three days after the games had ended

Honeysickle Ash: District 5

I was tossing and turning in my sleep, screaming Honeyscythe's name and pretending that I fell with her. Was I dead? Or was I still alive? My eyes opened and I found myself in a white hospital room. By my side sat Savannah, and she smilied when I woke up.

"Hey Honeysickle, how are you?" Savannah asked.

Then, the memories came flooding back: The games, my sister dying, but I didn't die with her. Tears started to form in my eyes, and there were some in Savannah's too. Savannah comforted me and she told me that I had lived and that she knew what it had felt like to lose a sister. Then I remebered that her sister had died in the Bloodbath at the very beginning of the Games, so she had to carry around the weight of a lost sibling with her for the whole games. Plus, she saw her closest friend get killed. We hugged each other as we relived the memories together.

After a few minutes, we unlocked from the embrace of each other's comfort. I hopped out of bed and Savannah came with me.

Some people thought that we would be fine after the games had ended, as shown in our victor's interview. But truely, we weren't ok and we will likely never recover from the pain that these games had caused us. Both of us had lost family and friends in these games and their memories would never been forgotten by either of us. So, once I returned home to my district, I stepped off the train and prepared myself for a new start, a new chapter in my life, but one that my twin could never experience with me, since she had been gone. Even to this day, I still remember Honeyscythe and how close we were to one another. But, after a while, I didn't break into tears everytime that someone mentioned her, but on the odd occasion, I would have a little cry and I would remember what Honeyscythe had said: "See you on the other side kid."

Afterword by the Author
Thanks everyone for entering in tributes and allowing me to write these games. I will admit, these games were pretty fun, but sad to write and I almost cried writing the epilogue, especially the last part.

RIP to all of the tributes who died in these games, your deaths will be remembered by our two vicors

Congratulations Honeysickle and Savannah on your victory in these games. I'm proud of both of you two for coming throuh after the death of your siblings

My favorite part to write of these games was probably the epilogue because it made our victors hold the memories for all of the tributes in these games and I probably put the most of my heart into writing it.

If anyone is looking for revived tributes for their games from these games, here is a little list of tributes that I, the author would recommend you to use (but you can chose whichever tributes you would like)

Nathaniel Hiscotch (2)

Nichole Hiscotch (2)

Amity Grace (Capitol)

Amber Burn (13)

Adam Hills (1)

Honeyscythe Ash (5)

And lastly, thanks to everyone who made these games possible in any way at all, even if you didn't know it.

"See you on the other side kid"
