Yeah, yeah. I know I already have one of these but whatever, I'll write another one anyways. I will update my first one first, and for every one chapter I write of this I'll write one for my first story. Let me give you a small bit of background: the Katniss/Peeta rebellion (as the Capitol people call it) has failed, and things have gotten back to what they used to be. The Capitol rebuilt and re-populated the destroyed District 12, because they had to get their coal somehow, and Hunger Games still commence as normal. it's the fifth quarter quell, and the Gamemakers have thrown in a brutal twist. Instead of my telling you about this, how about the head Gamemaker, Lucius, tells you?

Lucius sat in his candy-apple red leather chair in his dimly lit library, a large leather book clasped in his paper white hands. He took another bite of chicken, his long, sharp fangs ripping the flesh from the bone easily. A white eyebrow rose and fell from the top of his forehead to it's normal place as Lucius read from the book. The heavy oak door, cleverly hidden by a bookshelf, creaked open and a small man with bright pink hair scuttled in, his beady black eyes panning the room nervously. Lucius turned around in his chair.

"Ah, Appius. Good morning, thank you for coming," Lucius purred softly. He brushed back his long white hair, and beckoned for Appius to come and sit in a small wooden stool to the left of his leather chair. "You're fully aware of why I called you here?" Although Appius nodded, Lucius continued as if nothing had happened. "Well, then, let's refresh your memory. You are the Capitols finest scientist, and I called you here to have you create some things for me for the upcoming Quarter Quell."

"Yeah. That would be very nice. I, erm, love the Hunger Games," Appius said awkwardly, tugging gently at the sweaty sleeves of his white lab coat.

"Terrific," Lucius said, taking a huge bite of the chicken, taking extra care to show the scientist his sharp teeth. "Then we shall commence."

"That sounds..." Appius searched for a word he thought Lucius might deem impressive. "Monumental?"

Lucius raised a white eyebrow, a look of confusion on his face, then he turned to the book clasped in his hands.

"During the second rebellion there was a mutation unleashed upon the Districts from the Capitol," the Gamemaker read. "The beastly mutation would look like a human, and act like a human, up to an extent. The thing that separated this from a human was the mutations incredible lust for blood, that could not be satisfied. These mutations were formally called Sanguisuges, but, by those in the know, often called Vamps. It was the creation of the Sanguisuges that made these mutations special. The Capitol would take average people from thier homes in the Districts to inject them with a parasite. The parasite caused an insatiable thirst for blood. They were then sent back on the Districts, where they were free to cause destruction as they pleased. At one point the amount of Vamps being produced was so great that there was considered two types of people in Panem the 'Vamps' and the 'Regulars' (normal humans) but due to the high price of the parasites, that came from special labs within the Capitol, there became only a few hundred of the Sanguisuges, yet they were responsible for the downfalls for some important rebels; for example, Finnick Odair." He shut the book and looked down at Appuis.

"Yeah, um, Vamps? Isn't that kinda, um..." Appius rubbed his hairline, clearing the thick line of perspiration. "Well, risky? Vamps are known for being unruly."

"No," Lucius said. "It's not." He grabbed a crimson pitcher from the tray with the chicken on it and poured cream into a teacup filled with dark tea.

"You want be to made Vamps, and then set them loose around the arena?" Appuis was both surprised and disgusted at his assignment.

"No. I want you to make the parasite. We'll inject it into some of the tributes, then we'll put them into the arena," Lucius said as he traced his finger across one of the flowers on his teacup.

"B-but... that's terrible! How could you do that to their families and friends, and we'd have to destroy them at the end, so it would be totally useless!" Appuis felt himself getting braver by the second. The Gamemaker, however was staring at his tea, his papery lips pursed. "And plus! There's a reason there were only a few of the Vamps! They're so expensive to create, and time consuming too! My whole lab would have to go to work immediately, and wouldn't be able to stop working until the Hunger Games! I'm sorry, Lucius, but this just won't work!" By the end of his speech Appius was standing from his chair, his eyes wide.

There was an awkward moment of silence between the two. Lucius stared at his tea, his white, pupil-less eyes as emotionless as ever. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the shatter of china. The cup in Lucius' hand lay broken in front Appuis, shards of china flew into the air, and scorching hot tea was showered over the scientist. Appuis leapt backwards but tripped, falling over his chair, and landing in a heap on the floor. Lucius was above him in mere seconds, he pulled the scientist up the from the ground, with surprising strength for a wiry man and held him in a head lock, that was only tightened as Appuis struggled for air.

"Listen, Appius," he hissed in a low, deadly voice. "I don't want you to forget how much power I have. With a flick of my wrist, I can destroy you, your lab, your family, your life." Lucius tightened his grip. "I'm a gentle man, I'll let your little mishap slide this time, but never again. Do you hear me? Never again will you disobey my orders."

"Yes, sir," Appuis gasped out, his tanned hands clawing at Lucius sleeve. "It's possible. I'll have the parasites done and ready by the Games,"

"Good boy," Lucius said, he released his grasp and Appuis dropped to the floor, gasping for air. A few seconds passed, Appuis in a heap on the floor, recovering; Lucius poured himself another glass of tea. Appuis got up to leave.

"Oh, and Appius," Lucius called from his chair.

"Yes?" Appius whispered nervously.

"Please have them ready by the Games," Lucius sipped ideally on his tea, "I'd like to make this Quarter Quell very fun for the Tributes."

If you're wondering I'm planning on making this story quite dark, dismal, and, on a whole, rather depressing. Just saying. There'll be other twists thrown it, if you can guess one from the title, you win a free (fake, invisible, etc.) cookie. But a cookie! The list of the Districts and what they specialize in are bellow. I've added some side notes onto District 12. I'd really rather you guys sent them in by PM. Just because it's more secret and will be more of a surprise to see the characters, but if you don't have an account, a review is fine. Oh, and one other thing! Please, no self-inserts! Trust me, you'll try to make yourself look perfect, because who wants to see themselves as flawed? Plus (at least for me), it'd be pretty depressing to see myself die, even if it was fiction so... ahem... don't create self-inserts.
