9th Hunger Games

Weather: Very sunny, rainstorm

Length of games: 21 hours, 34 minutes

Arena: Old amphitheatre

Victor: Marina Washington (age 14): District 4

This year's victor was considered to be one of the most surprising, especially due to their smaller size, age and the other stronger competitors amongst this year's tributes.

The games
When the gong sounded, Marina ran away and found herself in an alliance with Voltina (5) and Chicago (9). They ran through the maze of tunnels before stopping in a higher corridor in order to discuss tactics.

The trio managed to work together and kept watch from the upper stands of the arena, despite not having any weapons between them.

Once it was dark, Marina, Voltina and Chicago were crept up upon by Timber and Asha (both 7) who both had axes. Voltina and Chicago were attacked and killed, but Marina narrowly escaped by tripping down the stands and falling off into the central arena.

After a restless night of moving and hiding from the remaining tributes, Marina took up a position above the tunnels' entrance to the central arena, where she ripped out some bricks from the upper ruins, to use as weapons. When there was just Asha and Timber remaining, she heard them walking through on of the tunnels.

As Asha and Timber exited this tunnel, Marina pushed a pile of bricks down onto them. This immediately killed Timber, whilst Asha was knocked to the ground, injured but alive. Marina jumped down onto her and chopped off her head with Timber's axe.

After the games
Marina returned to District 4, where she suffered multiple nightmares from the games' events and was hospitalised for several years, before leaving and choosing to live alone by the sea.
