The middle aged woman perches on the edge of her grand desk, awaiting the avox. As the avox slips silently through the door holding a red dress, the woman sighs, and then frowns. "No, you fool!" Her voice rises in frustration as she presses her fingers to the bridge of her nose. The avox tremors slightly as she dares to look the woman in the eye.

"I said I want the Venetian red, not the Carnelian red." Her patronising voice makes the avox quiver like a leaf. The avox nervously takes a step backwards, and stumbles. She almost drops the dress, but clutches at the slipping fabric as if her life depends on it. There are visible tears in her large, hurt brown eyes. The woman cocks her head slightly as she observes the new avox employed to work for her.

She looks like a petrified puppy. The woman stifles a laugh as the avox stands and waits for her orders. The woman tosses her golden ringlets over her shoulders as she stands. She approaches the avox with quick steps. Soon she looks down on the avox, and snarls at her.

"How are my nails?" The woman flashes her perfect red nails. "Do you think they're meant to match a dress of a different shade?" she questions, eying the avox menacingly. The young avox shakes her head in an apology. She bows quickly before backing away as the woman waves her away.

"Try and get the right shade this time, idiot." She slams the door on the cowering avox. "They're just plain stupid. How would they even have the brains to think of defying the glorious Captiol?" she wonders aloud, looking out across the modern city from her mansion.

A flicker of her old self shows through as she sits back at her desk and holds a red envelope in between her fingers. Bless the avoxes. Bless all the poor people in the Districts. My new avox has only been in the Capitol for a week, and yet, I am already bossing her around. The woman feels bad all of a sudden; feeling disgusted at what her family has forced the people of Panem to do. Now the job of President falls to the woman sitting at the desk. I have been spoilt and only learnt to accept the best with precise precision. How do the people in the Districts cope?

The woman forces the naïve thoughts from her head. Those thoughts, if voiced, could make her lose the position of President. They could even grant her death, as those words are seen as a form rebelling. There shall be no rebelling tolerated in Panem, no matter who the rebel may be.

They are all bad people- the Districts, the avoxes. That's why we must punish them. They caused this, and I should not feel pity for them. The woman smiles and smoothes down her shirt. Her eyes focus once more on the envelope. The Districts will fear her even more after the Quell twist is announced.

She doesn't care what colour her dress is. She doesn't care if it matches her nails. She just knows she must keep her family name feared across all of Panem. She has to keep the Districts tame. Panem must have peace once more, and that means harsher quells than ever before. Once there is peace, the Quarter Quells will become less violent. I must be cruel to be kind. She tells herself as she seals the envelope with the Quell twist written with careful handwriting in. The head gamemaker helped her to develop the Quell idea, making it as horrifying as possible for the districts.

For the Districts, it's going to be the worst games yet. For the Capitol, there will be none before it that can compare.

A/N- So here is the first chapter of the new SYOT I have been working on for a bit :) I hope you liked this short introduction, which just gives a little insight into the current situation in Panem. This story is on the same time line (but obviously more in the future) as 'The 200th Hunger Games'. I hope you enjoyed it! Tributes can be submitted from the next chapter on wards after the Quell Twist is revealed.

What do you think of the new President? And what do you all think the Quell Twist will be? (All will be revealed next chapter!)

Please leave a review, I really appreciate it and read them all :)
Please also favourite/follow if you're interested in sending a tribute or just to keep up with the story
