President Paylor stepped up to the microphone. The mood in the Capitol was unusual – some people were subdued and deathly scared for their kids, while others were ecstatic to see their friends and neighbors in the Games. It was an unusual mix, but everyone had someone to lose.

Behind the president were the living Victors – Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Haymitch Abernathy, Johanna Mason, Annie Cresta Odair, Enobaria Myne, Beetee Gizmo, and an eighth Victor, Aubree Lune. Aubree, who won the 73rd Hunger Games at age 14, was involved indirectly with the rebels, and once she had found out about the rebellion, she could tell that things were going to end badly. Aubree ran out into the woods at age 16 with her mother, Alice, father, Adam, sisters, Amanda and Amelia, and brother, Alex, and they lived for a full year off of the land. For her, it was just another Games. After the rebellion, she was discovered in the woods, and rescued and brought back to the Capitol. She was now just 18 and was now called the Hidden Victor.

Also behind the president were the other two mentors, Primrose Everdeen, now just 15, as well as Gale Hawthorne. Gale was extremely confident in his mentoring ability, but Prim was EXTREMELY nervous. The young girl was extremely nervous and felt really, really timid. She had no idea how she was supposed to do this.

President Paylor began to speak.

"Greetings, citizens of Panem. My council and I have discussed the matter of the final Hunger Games as proposed by the late President Coin of District 13. We have been discussing it for a few weeks, and have decided to have one final Hunger Games.

"The Capitol's children between the ages of 12 and 18, as of Reaping Day, will be divided up into twelve sectors based on the jobs of the tributes themselves and their families. You will be notified as to your sector in the next few days. Any tributes from the Districts who will be in a Sector will be notified around the same time as the Capitol tributes will. The reapings will be held one month from tomorrow. Each sector will reap a different number of tributes, but an equal number of males and females and each will receive one mentor, with the exception of four sectors who will be paired up for various reasons.

"Sector 1 will be made up of tributes whose relatives are, or were, top government officials. Ten tributes, mentored by Peeta Mellark, will be reaped

"Sector 2 will consist of children of Gamemakers. Ten tributes will also be reaped from here, and they will be mentored by Haymitch Abernathy.

"Sector 3, mentored by Johanna Mason, will consist of children of anyone else involved in the Games. This includes interviewers, stylists, escorts, prep teams, and even behind the scenes people, like those who built the Arenas, camera crews, and even the kids who carried the box for the Quell announcements. Eight tributes will be reaped from that sector.

"Sector 4, mentored by Enobaria Myne, will be made up of the children of Peacekeepers and other such officials. Eight tributes will also be reaped from this sector

"Sector 5 will be represented by the children of Capitol spies. 8 tributes, mentored by Annie Cresta, will be reaped from here.

"Sector 6's representatives will be children born to ambassadors from the Capitol. 6 tributes will be reaped, mentored by Aubree Lune.

"Sector 7 is made up of the children of entertainers, models, and the upper class. Their 6 tributes will be mentored by Beetee Gizmo.

"Sector 8 is made up of both the middle class and any tributes who don't fit in any other sector; basically, it is a potpourri. The four tributes from Sector 8 will be mentored by Katniss Everdeen herself.

"Sector 9 will consist of any tributes whose families have moved from the Districts to the Capitol or vice versa since the Games began. They will also reap four tributes. They will also be mentored by Aubree Lune.

"Sector 10 is made up of the children of Capitol-born rebels, mentored by Gale Hawthorne. Sector 11, the children of the poor, and Sector 12, all orphans, will both be reaped by Primrose Everdeen. All three of those sectors will reap 2 tributes.

"Sector 14 will be made up of Avoxes, servants, and/or their children. This sector will reap 2 tributes.

"Finally, we have decided that it is unfair that District 13 has stood idly by and watched as the rest of the districts have entered the Games. Therefore, we are asking them to add four tributes to this years Games, and I will be their mentor. District 13 will be represented as Sector 13. This makes the total number of tributes 76, as this is the 76th total Hunger Games.

"The point of these Games is to make the people of the Capitol feel a little bit of the pain that we felt, but we will not be too mean. Anywhere from 1 to 4 tributes can come out of the Games. Tessarae may be taken out for this year as well. We will still have practically the same schedule as in the original Games. However, the reapings for District 13, as well as Sectors 6, 9, 5, and 3 will be held the reaped be in the Districts. Those from the Capitol reaped from those sectors will spend the night in cottages on the outskirts of the Capitol. We are also going to relocate the families of the tributes who live in the Capitol to an alternate location to make sure that the tributes do not see their families during the pre-games process, and also to protect the families.

"We wish the children of the Capitol good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor."

As the president stepped away, there was a grim feeling in the air. Some people in the Capitol were nervous, others slightly less nervous. In District 13, it was total panic. Nobody was expecting a reaping; at least they weren't divided up into sectors to confuse things. In the districts, there was a little bit of nervousness, but much less than in most years, as the chance that your child could be reaped was very low. In District 8, there was joy and celebration, and rebels were burning pictures of President Snow in huge bonfires.

All over Panem, as the news sunk in, tributes who had never been in danger of being reaped were preparing. None of them thought that the odds were in their favor.

So, there you go! That's the gist of this story. I just want to take a little bit of time to explain this whole sector thing to you guys, because it's a little complicated.

As you read, sectors are decided by the job of the tribute, their parents, and the rest of their family tree. I will explain as we keep writing how each tribute ended up in each sector. Please check my profile for the form, and put the code that you can find after my "signature" where it says other so that I know you read this chapter!

Also, for those of you who have submitted tributes, I am going to be tracking reviews, so if I find that you're not reviewing, your tribute goes!

This story is somewhat of a prequel to one of my other stories, Triplets. In reality, it is the prequel to the story that will be the sequel of sorts to Triplets. If I'm making no sense, don't worry about it. The result of the story will not directly affect Triplets, but there will be some things here that will end up relating to Triplets and some things in Triplets will relate to here. You don't have to have read Triplets to read this, although I'd appreciate it, but the backstory is the same.

There is a little change at the end of Mockingjay, which is as follows: When the rebel medics get to the mansion, someone realizes that Prim is too young to go into combat, so she is tasked with rounding up the children that weren't blown up. They all somehow manage to get out except for one, a toddler girl. Prim reaches over the barrier to get her, when the next round of bombs go off. The girl got a horrible burn on her legs and Prim gets a bunch of nasty scars on her arms that are still there. Most of those children end up being orphans, and are then sent to an orphanage.

"For those of you who are reading Triplets, Katniss and Prim haven't met Jazzy yet. Katniss is now 19, Prim is 15. We're going to say that this story happens in June of the Year Equivalent to the 77th Hunger Games, and Jazzy's birthday is in August. That makes it work for both stories.
