The 100th Hunger Games
Hello there! Welcome to the 100th Hunger Games! I've seen so much of these and decided to join in the fun! yes, it's one of those 'sumbit-your-own-tribute stories. You wanna know what's happening in these Games? Well, you can ask my tribute, Star Kart. She'll tell you all about it. BTW, the second rebellion failed but Katniss and Peeta are still alive.
P.S. Sadly, I do not own The Hunger Games.
Star 'Ta-Ta' Kart POV (District Eight)
I hear the anthem play, then President Snow walks up to the stage, followed by a Capitol boy in a black suit, holding a simple wooden box.
Must be the 'reading of the card', I guess.
President Snow clears his throat and begins to remind us of Panem's history, the Dark Days, meaning the first rebellion and how the Hunger Games were made to keep the districts in check. He tells us how every twenty-five years is called a Quarter Quell, and there is a twist in the Games. Then he bought up the second rebellion. The second rebellion, according to President Snow, was a terrible way to treat the Capitol after all the things they gave us.
Yeah right.
President Snow said that the Capitol knew what the districts were doing, but was very kind and let them believe that they could over-throw the Capitol for a little while.
Again, yeah right.
He also told us about Katniss Everdeen, the 'Mockingjay' of the rebellion. He explained to us how Katniss Everdeen tried to kill him, then wanting to be the President herself and ruining the balance the Capitol made. He said that he had spared her and her lover, Peeta Mellark from death because he was nice and made them the mentors of 12. After this, President Snow turned to the boy and opened the box. I saw several rows of yellowed envelopes. President Snow turns beack to the cameras to explain what happened in the previous Quarter Quells.
"In the first Quarter Quell, as a reminder to the rebels that their own children were dying because of the rebels' choice to initiate violence, all districts were made to hold an election and vote on the tributes that would represent them."
Ouch. That's depressing. Imagining your neighbour voting for you as tribute. I shivered.
"In the second Quell, as a reminder that two rebels had died for one Capitol citizen, every district was required to send double the amount of tributes."
Some dude, Haymitch, I think, won that year. he was from District 12(which was bombed but still exists), and was killed in the 2nd rebellion saving Peeta Mellark.
"In the third Quarter Quell, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power the Capitol posseses, the male and female tribute will be reaped from their existing pool of victors, but sadly, the Games did not have a winner, as they were never finished because of the rebellion."
Yikes. Guess being a victor doesn't really help you get out of the Games.
"And now for our fourth Quarter Quell..." President Snow took out an envelope, marked '100th' and began to read aloud. I paid closer attention.
"To honour our fourth Quarter Quell, as a reminder to the rebels that even all the districts united cannot destroy the Capitol, the name of all the children of each district, aged 12-18, will be put into two reaping bowls and tributes will be chosen from these bowls, regardless of their District."
I stared at the television set, horrified. What if I was chosen along with my sister? My sweet little sister...I imagine her lying dead at my feet. I screamed and fainted.
So, how was that? Here is something to help you out.
When Star woke back up, her father gave her a notice sent by the Capitol. Star read it.
Rules of the 4th Quarter Quell
There will be three rounds of reapings.
The first reaping is to confirm that at least one tribute will represent each district. All odd number districts will reap a female tribute and the even number districts will reap a male tribute.
In the second reaping, ten names(five males and five females) will be reaped from the same bowl the first reaping used.
In the third and last reaping, the ten names reaped from before will then be put in two other bowls(one male, one female). Twelve names will be reaped from the same bowl(six males, six females).
The third reaping will take place in the Capitol. When a tribute's name is reaped, their picture will be shown.
There will be no tessare.
May the odds be ever in your favour!
