100th Hunger Games

Chapter 13 ~ Winning Makes You Famous, Losing Means Certain Death

Hey guys, I know, I'm so mean. But the real reason I left it on a cliff hanger is because I wanted to see what you guys think. I wanted to know who YOU thought won. I didn't get a lot of answers though (none exactly).

The 100th vote is still up. This book still has more chapters coming so don't stop voting! I know the prize isn't much, but hey, everyone wants to win something...right?

Ok, so the rules for the prize of a major plot twist is,

~ You can't make anyone die

~ You can't choose who wins

~ and keep it appropriate

So, hope this goes well, I know everyone was just dying to know who won.

*~*~*

(Katniss's POV)

There was one survivor...

Everyone is running around frantically. How can someone survive an electrocution at that degree? 

Then it hits me. The game makers have a tracker in everyone, not only does that tracker keep track of everyone, but it's the one that sends a signal to the cannons. They have a system, they don't keep track of the deaths. The computers do.

I turn around to get to the game makers, but find myself face to face with Haymitch.

'Come with me' He say urgently, not making eye contact.

I chase after him, anxious to get answers.

I see him take me to the control room. Everyone is looking at me. Haymitch gives me a strange look.

'It's about Peeta...' 

*~*~*

(Rose's POV)

Dad's not answering. He hasn't for days. Perhaps the walkie talkies are broken.

Suddenly, trumpets play, and a voice sounds over the forest.

'Attention, attention tributes. We have our victor for the 100th over 18's Hunger Games. Lets all hear it for....Peeta Mellark!'

I give a sound between a squeal and a cry. My father, he's alive. And he's survived the Hunger Games a third time!

I'm jumping up and down, squealing and punching the air, until I notice the face around me.

Chloe eyes have welled up, her father is gone.

'Oh gosh Chloe, I'm so sorry' I say, rushing over to her and giving her a hug

'No, it's fine' She shakes her head 'You have a right to celebrate. Besides, I knew what was going to happen anyway..' She straightens up, as if she said something forbidden.

'Spill' I say firmly

'It's nothing'

I raise my eyebrows quizzically

'Really, you'll find out later anyway'

I accept this as the best answer I'll get. I'll interrogate her once she has grieved.

'Hey, shouldn't we be celebrating? One of the originals made it out, or is this a bad time...?' trails off  Jack

I look at Chloe for confirmation.

'Yeah, you're right. Besides, we're almost at the end. There's not that many left of us. Thats a cause for celebration...right...?'

'Yea, lets go use our magnificent charm to get your mother to send us something, she's obviously celebrating too'
