Quarter Quell: Back to the Arena

Hunger Games

Once you're out, you're out. Well that only applies if you win. Every quarter year(year 25, 50, 75, etc), a card is drawn to declare that special year's event. Sad enough everyone knows there's another math for the Games, but it like any other pain when you find out that every victor in the past years are returning to the arena once more. The event of the 75th Hunger Games is to send every past victor back to the arena for a go round.

 Katniss Everdeen returns victorious along side her "lover" Peeta Mallark. Only one victor can return but the rules were shifted among the last four survivors. Only a year passes allowing them and their families to live with style, money, and peace. Sadly the year comes for preparation for the Games. The Quarter Quell arena is selected to enforce suspense and difficulty. One of the hardest parts about returning is dealing with the good-byes and the the thought of not coming back.

In the 75th games not a specific set of people are sent in. Normally only 24 would enter, but some some victors died from age leaving every remaining victors to enter. The most that can enter is 24. In this particular situation, the highest age for any victor to re-enter would be 93. The possibilities of that are extremely slim. The shocker in the story is that Katniss and Peeta have to re-enter, considering they are star-crossed lovers, things now get complicated. They have to make a decision, who kills who, that is if it comes down to them two in the finals.
