It's time for the 69th annual Hunger Games. One boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 will be reaped from the 12 districts that make up the nation of Panem to compete in a fight to the death on national television. The male tribute from District 3 is sixteen year old Caelum Walkinshaw, and the odds are definitely against him. Will Caelum manage to swing them in his favor to survive the scorching desert he's been thrust into against 23 other kids and return home? Or will he become one of the hundreds of kids killed for Capitol entertainment?

Hunger Games fanfiction. Full of OC's with some characters from the trilogy. Takes place before the events of the books/movies but I have done my best to be faithful to the canon of the Hunger Games universe. That is why I chose the 69th games. When I was thinking of this story, I imagined the arena in the desert. It was convenient that it is briefly mentioned in the book that the 69th Games took place in a desert so I decided I'd just set it then! The title is subject to change if I think of a better one. This is my first attempt ever at writing fanfiction so I would really appreciate any criticism and/or advice. Thank you.

❝Attachment always results in pain❞
Harper Anselin is a fifteen year old girl from District 12. She is quiet, keeps to herself, loves nature and is very rarely seen without a bow and arrows. When the reaping for the 99th Hunger Games comes around, she doesn't think things could get any worse - her little sister had died recently and her father had fallen seriously ill. The odds are definitely not in her favour. So when she is chosen, she doesn't know what to do. No one volunteers for her (of course) and she will have to spend her sixteenth birthday fighting to the death. Harper knows her mother wouldn't be able to support her dying father, but she know that if she wins, she can nurse her father back to health with good food and medicine. Scared and alone, she will face the trauma that is the Hunger Games. However, she isn't alone. She never was and never will be...
