I reuploaded this chapter with the new changed Quell. I realized there would be some problems!

Prologue: Speak Now: The Reading of the Card.

I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

Speak Now by Taylor Swift.

POV: President of Panem Korah Ponder

I am ready. The seventh Quarter Quell is about to be announced, and of course I know what it is. I, in actuality, searched through all the cards to find the perfect one for this year. Everyone will be shocked when I read it to the entire country.

"And now," the announcer, Jacib Hastingson, says. "Welcome your president, Korah Ponder!"

I walk onto the stage, acknowledging the thunderous applause of the Capitolite audience assembled to learn of this years twist. "Thank you," I say, silencing the roaring crowd. "Let's begin. In the beginning of the Hunger Games, the creators ordained that after every twenty-five Games there would be a Quarter Quell, to keep the rebellion fresh in the district's minds and to celebrate Panem's prosperity. During the first Quell, the districts were to vote on who would enter the arena, to remind them that it was their choice to engage in war."

The crowd nods at this, remembering. That was the year that 15 year old Patrice Hayesworth won. She was from District Nine, and many expected her to die early.

I continue. "In the second Quell, to remind the districts that two district citizens died for every Capitol citizen, the districts were to send twice as many tributes as usual."

That was the year that Maysilee Donner won. District Twelve, nothing special. His interview, however, is what I expect got her the sponsors she needed to survive. That and Haymitch Abernathy

"In the third Quell, to remind the districts that not even the strongest among them was not a match for the Capitol, the districts were required to reap the tributes from their existing pool of victors."

Everyone remembers that year. That was the year of the second rebellion. Katniss, Beetee, and Finnick were rescued by 13, while Maysilee, taken fron twelve, Enobaria, and Johanna were captured by the Capitol. They were all killed in the bombing ot 13 where Johanna tried to warn them. No one was able to save them, and they all died. All except Maysilee. They kept her as an example, broken and beaten.

I continue to remind the audience of the previous Quells, the fourth, fifth, and sixth. And finally, we arrive at this years.

"And now, we honor our seventh Quarter Quell. As a reminder to the districts that we are all connected, no matter of age, gender, district, or age, each tribute will be connected to another from a different district. This will be your ally. You may join with other groups, but you must be with your specified tribute unless they die. Tributes will have a mark that will inform them of who their 'connection' is. If both members or an alliance survive to the end, they may both win. Also, you are not allowed to kill your connection, or you face death yourself. Thank you."

With that, I turn heel and exit the stage.

AN: What do you think? Will this be a good Quarter Quell? Thanks a billion to guestpersonanonymous. You gave me this idea and I will be forever grateful. A current list of tributes will be posted on my profile, and will be updated whenever I accept someone. Today, I have two, so go check them out. Here's the setup for the story: I'm going to do the 7th Quarter Quell, and none of the Hunger Games occured. No end-of-the-Capitol, no Peeta, no Madge... Yeah, basically, this is ultimately AU. Katniss won the 74th Games on her own, Peeta died when Cato cut him, leaving her or Maysilee still alive to compete in the 75th Games. The rebellion still occured because Rue and Katniss made it to the final 2 under the ruling that two may live if they were the same gender.

Rue, of course, was reaped, and because nobody wanted to relive the Games, she entered. So did Katniss. Since no male Victor still lived in Twelve, they just did an average reaping, beinging forth a fifteen year old boy who died soon after the Games began.

When Katniss blew the force field, they bombed 12, but later had laborers go and restore it so that people could live there once again. Katniss, Finnick, and Beetee were rescued by the rebels, and Rue, Johanna, and Enobaria were taken by the Capitol. They tried to hijack Rue, but the venom was too much and she died.

When the districts fell, Katniss and the other victors were executed, as well as any other high up members like Coin, Lyme, and Paylor.
