Yikes, I posted the whole prologue but forgot writing the author's note- (Friend: Real smooth Y.)
Anyway, so here I am, posting my first English fan fiction. I'm very nervous about this because I plotted this for a long time now, and I hope I can do it justice.

For the whole Glee!HungerGames idea, I had it a few months ago, when I was doing my paper, fantasizing about Hunger Games and Glee since I banned myself from rereading the series and watching the latest episodes of Glee. So bit by bit I wrote some scenes down while I studied, then the whole story was shaped.

I should warn you though, my English isn't that good and I don't have a beta, so there might be a lot of mistakes down there that I've overlooked. So feel free to message me about that so I can do the correction later. Any constructive criticism is welcome, since I always go overboard with everything, including word limits when I don't have a beta.

Disclaimers: I don't own Glee or Hunger Games, they belong to Fox and Suzanne Collins respectively... and I'm just a fan girl who likes to write :)

Things were much different back then, before the election, before Monford was entitled as the new president.

The society was reconstructed and the gloomy history of riots and revolution long forgotten, lost due to centuries of time and people's refusal in bringing those memories back.

Only a minority of the citizens saw through Monford's facade while most people believed in his enthusiasm to serve and good heart. These people, who were skeptical about him, were not easily bought by his play for they've known more about the old dystopian Panem, the bloody revolution and the war, and were taught in details about the Hunger Games.

So they were no strangers to deceptions and the dark side of humankind.

Of course, they were right. Just as they expected, a few years in the rule, Monford gradually revealed his true nature, exposing his hunger for power.

But, it's too late.

There are signs of course, but the younger generations didn't suspect a thing; the ones' who were skeptical couldn't catch on either since they knew about the history through books...

There were new replacements for the peacekeepers in the districts…

There were strangers whom claimed to be tourists, loitering at the bars, the beaches, the old boundaries of the districts, inspect the old rusting electric fences… chatter away with locals and asking about almost anything, from landmarks to people. The locals were too enthused by them to detect such odd behaviors.

Even with locals, some were seen talking furtively to themselves…

There were a lot more signs; however, they're still hard for people to perceive at such early stage.

Then this weird census came up. It required people to go back to their ancestral homes temporarily, saying it's to avoid making mistakes in the resulting figures. This logic kind of makes sense at the time despite the given technological level of their society-so everybody do as they were told, too obtuse to recognize the true meaning behind. Some thought the action feel like a bit of pain though, since they were originated from District 13's underground.

Subsequently, a lot of families split up and headed for their different destinations.

Before the citizens could settle in their homes to take a breather, however, all hell broke loose.

Peacekeepers swarmed into the districts everywhere, armed with weapons. They backed the citizens to their respective houses; whoever objected such treatment was immediately killed on spot. Countless people try to break through the human wall formed by the peacekeepers and the armored vehicles behind but to no avail.

For a week, Panem was filled with screams.

In the end, it all came down to the day that peacekeepers had fully controlled all the districts. One at a time, they went to the citizens' houses, finally disclosing the latest statement from President Monford:

After a few months of individual inspections for the upcoming census, it is palpable that the districts are disorderly with hidden disturbing activities. Black markets exchanges, human trafficking, illegal drug trade and other unforgivable crimes were found. Given such horrible circumstances and social problems, immediate actions will be taken and the council of Panem passed a few laws to thwart the problems that had just uncovered.

So for the interim, the following laws should be abide by all citizens.

1) Citizens may not travel freely outside the districts' perimeters, so the forests areas outside the district can be much easier to monitor for trespassers and illegal activities: poaching, robberies and kidnappings. Anyone who go beyond the boundaries will be punished whether or not there are wrongdoings and will be gone through legal procedure afterward to determine their innocence.

2) Every citizen should return to their respective houses before nine. People who failed to do so will be escorted to the head peacekeeper of the district for further interrogations.

Educational materials should be approved by the government beforehand. Other programs on personal safety and talks on criminal offenses will be introduced in schools.

3) Stores need to earn new licenses. (General Restaurant licenses, milk factory licenses etc.) They are non-transferable, so as to be much easier for the government to trace down trades. Other details will be informed later.

4) Illegal assemblies are banned. If more than three people come together, acting out rebellious operations, peacekeepers will be given full authority to carrying out extreme measures to control the situation.

These are some of the basic measures will be taken by the government for the time being, each district can have different codes set down by their head peacekeepers. Citizens are obligated to follow all of them. I hope everyone would cooperate with us to eliminate crimes and reorder our society.

Thank you for your support.

Ha! As if such formal statement able to cover the connotation signified, except it didn't matter.

The citizens could do nothing but obey.

History often repeats itself.

Life seemed oddly normal afterward- there were no oppressions, exploitations from the government-saved for the absence of people's loved ones, a constant reminder that how the good old days were gone.

The day that started everything was a Saturday…Therefore even though the people of Panem were closely monitored by the government; they tried to find out a way to bypass such scrutiny to mourn. So every Saturday during lunch hour, everyone would return to their respective houses to eat and the prayers before eating were extended for a few minutes longer behind the closed doors.

It's a time for the citizens alone to mourn for their lost love ones and the awful fate.

Two years later in district three, a ten year old boy cried restlessly in the arms of his father, for news about his missing mother's death came through.

What he didn't know though, would be in fact, somewhere outside district 3, there's also another person mourning like they do.

My dear readers- this might seem unrelated to what was told previously, nevertheless, they're mentioned for a reason.

Because unbeknown to them, their lives would collide in the future…

And it would change everything.

So please listen closely, as the story had only begun…
