Disclaimer: Okay, so I thought doing one of these would be kind of fun. I am in no way near an expert writer; I'm actually an exercise science major, so quite the opposite really! I did however get A's in my high school English classes. That's good enough, right? Anyways, here's my shot at my first ever fanfic. Like I said, not a great writer, so go easy on the reviews! Oh yeah, I DO NOT own The Hunger Games, blah blah blah…

History is repeating itself in the nation of Panem. Shortly after The Mockingjay, Katniss Everdeen, passed away, the Capitol unleashed the monster it had been building up for the past 50 years. Finally destroying District 13 once and for all, the Capitol took control over the Districts and reinstated The Treaty of Treason and raised the Hunger Games from its ashes. Starting where it left off, the 76th Games brought the same intensity and suspense the previous ones brought, and the phenomenon was reborn. Twenty-five years later, the 100th Games are about to begin. Thus beginning the Fourth Quarter Quell…

Pacing back and forth in her study, President Alecta Salt continued to ponder how she was going to approach the announcement for the Quarter Quell later on that evening. To eliminate all possible haunting memories, the rebels destroyed every item that related to the previous Games, including the envelopes storing the Quarter Quell announcements. Therefore, the Capitol had to create a new set of twists and turns to help enlist the new series of Quells.

President Salt quickly ceased her pacing and stood staring at the envelope in her hands. She was extremely anxious to see how the citizens of the Capitol would take the potentially controversial announcement about to play forth.

However, Alecta Salt truly didn't have anything to worry about. Ever since she helped the Capitol bounce back from the grueling and dumpy state it was in 25 years ago, the citizens have obsessed over her. Everything is back to normal. The power. The entertainment. The riches. Even if the announcement doesn't go well, they would be right back to worshiping her the very next day.

Her second in command stepped in a few moments later to give her a five minute warning. She left her study to make her way to the thousands of Capitol citizens awaiting her.

She approached the microphone and began, "Welcome citizens of Panem and Happy Hunger Games! It is my great honor to welcome you to the reading of the card for the 4th Quarter Quell." She soaked in the roaring applause and deafening cheers from the crowd then continued. "In the proud history of our country, we have had three previous Quells to shine light upon. This begins this year's reading of the card":

"On the twenty-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels from the initial rebellion that their children were dying because of their choice to begin the violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote on the tributes who would represent it."

"On the fiftieth anniversary, as a reminder that two rebels died in the first rebellion for each Capitol citizen, every district was required to send twice as many tributes."

"On the disruptive and incomplete seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the two tributes were reaped from their existing pool of victors."

"And now, we're called to honor the Fourth Quarter Quell. On the one-hundredth anniversary, as a celebration of the successful years of Games before the second rebellion by acknowledging the 50th anniversary of the Second Quell, twice as many tributes will be sent into the arena, once more. Adding to that, as a reminder that the surviving rebels were sent back to their individual districts after the violence ceased to live as one, remaining tributes from the same District will be declared victors. This ensures that each District will work and fight together instead of teaming up with others. This shows that separation between the Districts is key to avoid any future rebellion against the Capitol. You may also see this rule as part of the Capitol's mercy from the atrocity the Districts have inflicted upon it. Thank you."

She sits back to let the audience collect her rather long explanation, hoping she didn't bore them to death. But no, after a couple of seconds, the citizens are pouring over the recent announcement. They are ecstatic on the huge change in ways and the violence that will bring as the tributes not only are fighting for their lives, but their fellow District tributes, too. More passion. More intensity. More blood.

She ends with her last few statements, "District Reapings will begin in two months. The 48 tributes will be sent to the Capitol that same day. Thank you for your time. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor…"
