"Neptune has no mercy, no guilt as he dashes these fragile things against the rocks. He's their king... their leader. He's supposed to watch over all the little creatures of the sea, and yet the waves keep coming and eventually, these little shells are sand."
"If I want to live, I can't view them as kids. They are merely obstacles standing between me and survival. Me and going home."
It's the 26th Hunger Games. The First Games after the Quarter Quell. Adrienne had hoped 25 years was enough punishment, but the reaping comes once more, and this time her name is drawn. As the female tribute for District 4, she's automatically a member of the career pack alongside four tributes she can't stand and one that she can. Not an inherently violent person, Adrienne has to balance humanity and desperation. Self-preservation with conscience. The desire to survive and the cost.

The 69th Tribute
"I think the worst part isn't dying. It's knowing I'll be forgotten." Lydia Overbrook was never supposed to be the girl anyone remembered. A quiet fisherman's daughter from District 4, her plan was simple: survive long enough to be mercifully forgettable. But when she's reaped for the 69th Hunger Games, everything changes-including her. Thrown into a world of Capitol cruelty and deadly alliances, Lydia forms an unexpected connection with Alec, her enigmatic fellow tribute, whose secrets run deeper than she realises. As the Games draw blood and blur lines, Lydia must decide who she can trust... and what she's willing to risk for a boy who might just be her undoing. A slow-burn, heart-wrenching original tribute story told in two perspectives. If you love tragic romance, morally grey characters, and that classic Hunger Games heartbreak-this is for you.Complete

The 150th Annual Hunger Games
Another Quarter Quell has arrived! This year, the Quell demands something that the Districts have never done... The first tribute reaped in each District has to choose who will be accompanying them in the Arena. However, the person they choose must still be eligible for the Games. Who will be reaped? Who will they choose as their District partner? What strange and exciting twists will the Arena hold this year? Who will win... *This book has nothing to do with my other Hunger Games book, The 125th Annual Hunger Games. It's just another Quell idea I had. BUT I would advise reading my other book first because there are a few spoilers mentioned in this book that have to do with The 125th Annual Hunger Games! ALSO, I'm sorry if someone has already used this idea or if you find something in it that's similar to your own book! If so, it's purely a coincidence. *All rights go to Suzanne Collins. *Updates are VERY often! I usually only go no longer than three days on my updates. With my last book, I updated sometimes two chapters a day, so yeah! Enjoy! :)Complete

-There Is No Winner- The 68th Hunger Games-
I won the Hunger Games once. They called me a Victor, but I know better. The Capitol took everything from me, my family, the boy I loved, even the right to call myself alive. I tried to disappear into the quiet: the bottle, the piano, the years between Games. But you can't hide from the world when it's burning. Then came a girl on fire, a spark that refused to die. And somewhere between her defiance and the Quarter Quell, I remembered what it felt like to fight back. This is my story. From the day I was reaped to the day the war ended. From a blood-soaked arena to the long silence after the revolution. Because in the Hunger Games, there are no winners. Only survivors. (68th games-Epilogue in Mockingjay) *I don't own the Hunger Games all rights of the original work go to Suzanne Collins. I only own the original characters that I have included in TINW.*![A Game of Chance [THG Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/10793564-256-k969561.jpg)
