The 40th Hunger Games

To the Capitol (Part 14)

"Ladies and Gentlemen", a voice says from the sky, "the victor of the 40th Hunger Games, Thorburn Chelowech from District 5!" I recognize the voice. Its Didius Templesmith, the announcer. He's been the announcer for 40 years now, and I think he's about to retire soon. Ive heard on his son too, Iuvartus Templesmith. He's a child like I am, a spoiled on win fact. Out of nowhere, a cloaked aircraft picks me up and freezes me with some electromagnetic waves or something. I can't speak or move, meaning I haven't blinked, which was agonizing. 

Once we arrive there, theres some doctors that treat me for any wounds that I've gotten. I don't speak much, partly because of all of the emotions I've been feeling, like sadness, happiness, etc. After I'm treated, I get to see my mentors and my stylists. They're so happy to see me. The stylists except Alexis are crying of joy. When I see Venture, I just give her a long hug, and we both don't say anything. I think she was very worried about me, since her face is paler than usual. I greet Gliese and he seems pretty happy, so thats not a problem

"Oh, Thorburn", Brady says, "I was so worried for you" Most of his words are unintelligible, since he's crying so much. He has to me taken away by Gliese and the other stylists, who have watery eyes. We hop on another train, greeted my civilians clapping for me. I give my thanks. The person operating the train said that it would take at least 2 days to get to the Capitol, since the highest speed the train can go without breaking the law is 200 mph. Ive heard that they can go to 700, but that might not be true, maybe just a fake story. Since I have so much time to spare, why not watch a Hunger Games? I mean, I feel way better now that I've just won one.

First, I watch a career from District 1, Raff Lockhearst, a very strong and athletic tribute. He managed to kill 3 tributes, one from by district, with a sword. His district partner is very whiney.

"Uuuugh!" She says, "Just kill them, you don't have to make it so gross!" She says.

"Well," Raff says, "I bet its what the crowd wants!" He has a point. Panem loves a death thats gruesome. The grosser, the better. She eventually gets killed by Raff for being so annoying. He also manages to stay away from infections, unlike the pair from 8, who's faces are stolen from a bite that they received by some scorpions and mosquito mutts. Eventually, Raff has to betray his own allies and kill them in the end. I pretty much have a marathon of Hunger Games. Next, I watch a Game a very long time ago, the 5th Hunger Games. Its the first victor from District 12, Rummage Lorman. The arena is all water, except that the cornucopia is on an island. Theres also other islands to be seen for tributes to settle on. His district partner sacrifices herself to save him, since he was about to get slaughtered by some career girl. The Games end with the boy from 2 sinking in quicksand made by a tidal wave crashing on the island that the tributes from 9 were on.

 Another Game I watched, the 28th Games, won by a girl from District 7, Sabille Bosehearty. She's very brave, with her killing a mutt polar bear with her amazing axe throwing skills all by herself. Her district partner died in the bloodbath. Since she's from 7, she was able to get her way around the forest very easily, being from 7 of course. She eventually runs into the last 2 careers during the showdown of the Games. Its the boy from 4, and the boy from 2. They're both incredibly ripped. However, Sabille manages to throw an axe at the boy from 4's head with one try, with the other kid dodging it. Eventually, she would have to confront him by decapitating him on the spot with the axe she used to kill the other guy. 

I figure thats my share of gore tonight, since I've just been in one, so I go to by bed. I missed how comfortable it was, so I'm able to go to sleep with ease, as usual.
