Author's Notes:
This is the second chapter about President Snow and one of his many assistants. I hope that you guys like it. Please leave a review.
Oh, yeah. In this chapter, the official quarter quell twist is revealed.
"Hello Mr. Freezon, I am glad to see you so on such short notice. How is your wife doing?"
Like I really cared, I was just trying to be polite.
"Yes, hello Mr. President, she is doing very well, thank you for asking. In fact, she's doing quite well. Last week we-"
I cut him off, "Just show me the arena."
See, that's what I get for being nice.
The head gamemaker calmly composes himself, "I came as soon as I was notified. Well, I know you are excited to see it, but I want you to know that I worked very hard on this and I hope you like it."
For his sake, I hope he did a better job than with his blue lipstick, that is smeared over the left side of his face. Honestly, I didn't care how hard he worked on it, I just wanted it to be the way I asked him to do it, perfect.
He then pulled out a small machine that soon projected a possible candidate of the this year's arena, "Here it is, we made the hologram with a few alterations. Color wise, the design, mutts, and traps are all the same."
As it slowly came to life, the detail was impeccable, a lot of time was definitely put into it. But it was just so... boring.
"If you want my personal opinion, this arena just isn't very glamorous, it seems, very plain."
"I know Mr. President, but you said that the detail was what mattered. Most of the time I spent on it was doing the design.
I stroke my chin thoughtfully thinking, "Yes, I suppose I did. Well it is a Quarter Quell, maybe that will help."
Ha, inside I knew that the tiny little piece of paper I am to read in an hour will solve all the problems. Think of it like that old holiday they had before the Dark Days. Christmas was what it was called. They always say that you want to know what you'll be getting. As for me, instead of trying to guess or ask, I would just open it early to find out. It's that simple.
"Come Mr. Freezon, we cannot be late."
"Oh, right now?"
I get up, not bothering to look at him, "Yes, right now."
Like really, what did he think I meant when I said "Come Mr. Freezon." It would be easier if he was a dog, at least they are easy to train, or I at least I could beat him if he didn't do what I wanted him to do.
He stammers out," Actually, I was going pick up my wife, she is at a party right now. I have to go pick her up, then I will be there. Trust me I won't be late."
I wave him off, "Fine, but just this once. I'm feeling especially caring today."
As I stride up to the podium, I stare out over the Capitol. The crowd, full of joy and blood thirst, just like me, except I know what will happen. They stare, fixated upon me. They are holding their breaths, waiting for the terror that this Quarter Quell will bring. I smile and wave, ushering the young boy to bring the small, plain box forward. With baited breath they wait. I open the lid and calmly pick out the card bearing the number 100th. As I break the seal, a squeal arises from the crowd. Obviously, they can't wait.
With a clean, crisp voice I say, "On the 100th Hunger Games, as a reminder that he Capital can separate the rebels any way they please, their will be two arena's. Only the strongest shall survive. The male and female tributes reaped will be separated, and fight to the death. Then will the winner of the female and male tributes have one final battle to the death." In other words, meaning the girls will battle in one arena, while the boys battle in another arena, when the girl defeats all the other girls, she will have to face the winner of the boys.
Two different arenas, only one victor, how much fun can it get?
Author's Notes:
1. What did you think?
2. Should I do all the reapings?
3. Mystery Question! If you can get the answer correct, you get a 100 point bonus! The mystery question is, slight pause for effect, How many victors have been produced from district 5? Answer the question in your review, and I will pm you if you got it right, or wrong.
BTW, animal cruelty is not cool, support awareness for abused animals. Please write a review. I hope you enjoyed it! I only need five more tributes, so please send them in.
