The 175th Annual Hunger Games

Chapter Four

Diamond Larkey's P.O.V.

"Welcome back, everyone!" I cheer as the crowd screams and throws flowers.

"Well, back to the rest of our tributes! We left off with District Six, so I might as well keep going! From District Seven, we have the 12 year old boy, Jacob Walters, and the 15 year old girl, Margot Davidson. From District Eight, well, unfortunately, District Eight does not have the honor to participate in this years Hunger Games, what a shame!" I frown and the crowd cheers loudly.

"From District Nine, we have 17 year old Hans Coulters. Again, only one person from this district. From District Ten, we have 12 year old Imogene Bakers and 16 year old Gretchen Wilson. From District Eleven, we have twelve year old Tyler Davis. From District Twelve, we have Leah Miller, age 18! And last, but certainly not least, from the Capitol, we have Flavius Odina, age 15, Xadriana Felyx, age 16, Quiana Angel, age 13, Piper Flick, age 16, and Angelique Papillon, age 15!" I yell to the crowd.

"Now, before I go for real, we have a special announcement to make! For the first time in Hunger Games history, you guys get to vote for special attractions and the arena!" I say happily as the crowd screams even louder than before.

"For your special attractions, you have six choices, and the three attractions with the most votes will go in the Games on three different days. Look at the template on your screen for the options,"

Zombified Victors

Five Family Members of Five Tributes

Animal Hybrids

Growing Arena

Live Plants

Natural Disaster

"Well there you have it! Let me explain these choices. Zombified Victors are previous victors that have passed, and turned into zombies. Next, the family members, five tributes will be picked at random and a relative will be sent in, whether they are eligible for reapings or not. The Capitol can take two animals and crossbreed them, making new hybrid animals, and send them in the arena, vicious or not. The Growing Arena just means that the arena will grow, but the tributes won't, so it will be like the tributes have shrunk and everything is twice as big! How exciting! Next, we have Live Plants, meaning any plant will become monster plants at any moment, growing arms and legs, eager to chase and kill tributes. Lastly, we have a natural disaster, like an avalanche or an earthquake. All that depends on the arena!

Now, for your choices for an arena, you have a large, underground area, where the cornucopia is, and there is one way to surface, so the tributes have to look for it! Next is an ice age arena, where most of the arena is covered in ice, but some isn't. Also, prehistoric ice age creatures, like wooly mammoths, will roam the arena! Again, how exciting! And lastly, we have a vast desert covered with sand and cracked dirt. Not very many hiding places, but could be a few small oases for a water supply!

Well, now it's up to you guys to vote for what arena and attractions you would like to see this year! I'm Diamond Larkey, and this has been your Capitol Update!" I yell and the cameras go off.
