3rd Hunger Games

Weather: Thunderstorm

Length of games: 1 day, 1 hour, 29 minutes

Arena: Old amphitheatre

Victor: Silica Jones (age 16): District 1

Despite being held in the middle of July, an intense thunderstorm had rocked through The Capitol in the last week, which undoubtedly affected this year's games.

The games
With many tributes running for a weapon than had been expected, Silica almost abandonned her plans to grab one, but a small knife came her way after Gromit (9) slipped and dropped it, which she snatched before running away. Seven tributes were killed within the first five minutes, with many of those who died having slipped, and several of the stronger competitors taking each other out and levelling the playing field.

Silica sprinted through the tunnels, knowing that due to the storm, the survivors of the bloodbath would soon enter these tunnels for shelter. She kept a low profile and hid as far from the entrance as she possibly could, often hearing the echoes of more and more tributes being slaughtered.

When she heard Seal (4) walking near her hiding place she jumped out and stabbed him through the brain. As she inspected his body, she noticed that his coat was extremely thick and could potentially provide shelter from the rain and possibly even some form of make-shift armour.

As she walked out from the tunnels into the stands, Seel's coat kept her dry, so instead of resting inside where the other tributes could find her, she slept outside amongst the thunder and booming lightning, where nobody would expect any survivors to spend the night.

Although the plan worked and she was not approached by others in the night, Silica did not sleep well and was sick in the morning, like she had been for the last few weeks. This mysterious predicament was not at all helped by the weather, which was still not relenting upon the arena. She remained laying above the entrance of a tunnel, able to hear ghastly screams that periodically escaped the inner maze of tunnels.

Finally, when Silica heard Linus (2) marching out of the tunnel and declaring himself the victor, she streched down and slit his throat from above. He jolted round with a very confused look on his face and then collapsed, leaving Silica as the first female victor.

After the games
After her victory, Silica returned to District 1, where to her and her husband's surprise, they learned that she was six weeks pregnant. She later gave birth to a boy, who was the last killed tribute in a later games.
