Hey, I wasn't going to post this untill the final 6 of "Can't Fall back: The 125th Annual Hunger Games but no one is going on my forum or Pming me so here it is...I need tributes**Sshhuusssh** but so I'm not breaking any rules, the form is on my profile and in my forum - get the link of my profile- it isn't working :/ - So yeah, get sending, here is the prolouge bit :D xx
Everyone loves someone, whether they are the brutal killing machines' from districts 1, 2 and 4 or if they are the little twelve year old who can't even pick up a knife to defend herself. Everyone loves someone.
This year it's the 177th annual hunger games, the quarter quell was two years ago but this year's twist, is worse than any quarter quell. I have forever respected the girl on fire and what she did many years ago, but now, all I can do is hate her for it. For this twist is in her memory.
On the One hundredth anniversary of the Capitol being in charge, on the anniversary of the 77th annual hunger games, the one which killed the mockingjay's grandson. The twist will break the hearts of many as well as bring a never before seen death total to the games.
President Dauite's words echo in my head as I hold my five year old brother close to me.
" To remember the mistakes made by the mockingjay in the second rebellion, these games will show what pain she caused and remind the rebels that those reasons that the rebellion happened all those years ago hold no power over the capitol today. This year there will be two victors; just like there was in the 74th hunger games, but there will be sixty tributes. The mockingjay volunteered all those years ago to protect her younger sister, who she loved dearly. She then went on to protect Peeta Mellark, the boy she loved, throughout the games. Love played a massive part in the rebellion, therefore, this year to remember that the capitol doesn't care about the ones you love. On every piece of paper at the reapings, there will be two names, the name of the child who is reaped; between the normal ages of twelve and eighteen, and then name of the person they love the most. That will make forty-eight tributes, to make up for the other twelve tributes. To remember the mockingjays second time in the arena; the time the second rebellion really began; the remaining twelve tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of victors."
My brother will probably be chosen if I was reaped, but he is five! I am not going in for tesserae this year, I can't risk it. I'd rather risk starving than be reaped and having to take my little brother with me.
What a sick, sick twist. Two can win, so technically someone could leave with their loved one, but I'm guessing that the victors aren't just in there to remember the girl on fire's second games, but to make leaving with a loved one less likely.
These games will be difficult for everyone, no matter what. The mockingjay volunteered for her sister to protect her, but this year, even if she did volunteer, her sister would be going with her either way.
President Daiute, you sick man! How can you even think about doing this! I thought the Quarter Quell two years ago was harsh, to remember the 75th hunger games and the misuse of weapons and as a reminder to the rebels that they are nothing without the capitol, the tributes weren't allowed to have weapons, that was the longest hunger games on record, many of the tributes ended up dying from starvation.
In fact for the past few years we've had many harsh hunger games because of the rebellion, on the 174th, all of the tributes ended up dying, the victor was publicly executed as a reminder to the rebels that winning does not mean you are better than the capitol. In the 176th, they asked for forty-eight tributes, as a reminder of the cruelty we caused them in the 76th hunger games when we put their children into the games.
It all seems extreme; but it works, I would never even think about starting a rebellion. I wonder what the girl on fire would do if she knew of this.
'I won't get reaped,' I tell myself, 'I won't'.
Remember Profile or my forum, the link isn't working so get the link of my profile, only the victor form is on my profile, the rest is on the forum :) xD Thanks..I would post it here but that's against the rules and my last one got deleted -_- so yeahhhh..
