"Dahlia Blossom. Don't let the name fool you. She's better known as the Black Dahlia. And she didn't earn that nickname by smiling and looking pretty." "She sure knows how to perform for the camera."

When Reef, a young girl from District Four, thinks she'll make it through her last year of the reaping, finds that she was unsuccessful. She had been reaped for the 70th annual Hunger Games and must fight for her life in an arena against 23 other tributes from the other 12 districts. With the charming Finnick Odair as her mentor, she knows she has to fight, she has to live for her brother and herself. Reef also finds herself falling for her mentor, and maybe he sees something in her as well. But that is the least of her problems as she thinks hard about her strategies to win the games. With the arenas always changing, no matter how much she hates to be associated as one, Reef must think and train like a career if she truly wishes to win. That is, until a certain district reaches out for an alliance. If she survives the Hunger Games, will she be able to help Katniss in her efforts against the Capital? What will happen with her relationship with Finnick? Will everyone survive? May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor //From Before Hunger Games to Mockingjay// (This is a Finnick fanfic that is based primarily on the movies, though some aspects will be from the books. Some plot points however, have been twisted to fit my own story line!) ---------------------- ---------------------- Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games Franchise - all character rights and plot points (beside Reef, my own characters, and my own plot points) belong to Susan Collins

-Slow update- Amelia Tompkins was the victor of the 67th Hunger Games at the age of 15. She is known to the Capital as 'The girl with the pearl heart' originally 'The girl with the pure heart' but considering she is from District 4, they did a play on words for humour's sake, and it stuck. -I do not own The Hunger Games nor the charters except Amelia Tompkins and other OC.- *NOT ABANDONED!!! I take a LONG time doing things, one day this book will be finished, may take years -_-'* ----- (Update 2.July.22)

there's one thing about games, once you're a player, there's no way out. you're trapped. - in which the youngest victor in history comes back to compete in the quarter quell, coming out of a decades worth of hiding.

[1] The Fighter (Finnick Odair) [1] -- The rewrite of this story. The Granite family have no luck in life. They constantly battle every day struggles of living in District 5 as well as the constant fears of the Hunger Games. Three of the five children entered the Hunger Games and none of them survived. When Luke, the only living son survived his games the family were overjoyed. But the threat of the youngest was constant. They were terrified that something would happen. No one wanted her to be entered in the games in fear it would ruin her innocence. She only had two entries years. Would she make it through or would she be reaped in the games? "Us Granite's we don't grow attached, less people get hurt that way. I'd rather love no one than watch the ones I love suffer" "No one is ever truly prepared for the hunger games, not even the careers. I'll tell you why because no two games are ever the same" "Some people believe that admitting your scared or nervous means your weak but it really means your human" "Expect the unexpected because I have nothing to lose. I'm not afraid of death because everybody is going to die someday. I just don't plan on dying soon" (This Book takes place in the 72nd Games and leads up to events before Catching Fire. There will be changes. Also People are allowed to travel around Panem, by Train, but it costs a lot of money, so only rich people, mainly Victors travel).
