17th Games

This game featured a record amount of tributes dying at the hands of animals within the arena, with a total of thirteen being pecked to death by the vultures, along with these vultures trying to attack the hovercrafts as they collected the bodies.

This year's victor was Jocasta Walker, age 16, from District 10. The arena was set in a Poisonous wasteland, featured Flesh-eating vultures, a full scale hurricane, and lasted for 6 days.

During the bloodbath, Jocasta managed to grab some bread before running away and sheltering from the other tributes and vultures in a small alcove.

After becoming ill due to drinking poisonous water that flowed by this alcove, Jocasta tried to find an alternate source of water., but whilst exploring, she was spotted by the career pack. She was chases by them and she turned a corner, she lost her footing and literally stumbled into a cave with two unopened water bottles that had been left there earlier as a trap.

Furthermore, careers' loud taunts at Jocasta aroused attention of some extremely hungry vultures nearby. These vultures savagely massacred all four careers within a minute. Jocasta used the cave to shelter from both the vultures and the hurricane that ensued.

This hurricane caused many remaining tributes to fall down the cliffs and to their deaths and when Jocasta, Plank (7) and Petal (11) returned to the cornucopia for the showdown, Jocasta was by far the least injured, having escaped the vultures and the intense winds. She easily dispatched of the others by using stalactites from the cave as a makeshift spear.

After winning the games, Jocasta returned to District 10 with a new lease on life. She settled down with her boyfriend and they had a family.
