HELLO GOOD PEOPLE OF PANEM!

I am sick and home from school today with have nothing to do… so I'm making a teaser to ease us into the finale. Don't worry though, I'm hoping to get the finale part 1 up today, if not very soon and part two up soon as well. In part one there will be five deaths for five wonderful tributes. I know who they are. The finale part two will leave us with two or three tributes left. At that time I will make another poll on which you will decide our victor! Kapeesh?

Amacus, Head Gamemaker

"Amacus?" I hear a low voice call my name. I glance up quickly from my work. The final days in the arena are always the most stressful. Timing must be perfect. When I see the President I stop altogether.

"Yes, Mr. President?" I bow my head, carefully not to show my twitching fingers.

"Good work sir. The plan you gave me yesterday was superb. I'd be glad to keep you around another year," I stare in awe. 'Superb?' Is that what he said? My smile wavers when he adds, "Let's hope I'm not speaking too soon. These plans require a lot of work- on your part. Get together the gamemakers and tell them the rest of your ideas," I nod as the President pauses. "I've heard the water plan is already put into effect, am I correct?"

"Yes sir. The tributes no longer have water," I reply carefully.

"Good. May I ask when the next part takes effect?" I'm surprised by his gentleness. It seems only weeks ago he wanted my head on a stick and nothing else than to tease me enough to fear my life.

"S-sure. The second plan, which I have named Kiss of Death, will take place immediately after the water plan," I assure him.

"Keep it up, Amacus. I hope to see you next year," The President pats my desk thoughtfully before walking out of my office. I smile as he goes, and for the first time, don't flinch at his echoing footsteps.

I know, it isn't much- just enough to hopefully have you wanting more!:)

Review please, thank you! Ya'll make my day!
