Announcement

The President reached the podium, his face a mask of excitement. Another Hunger Games, he didn't think he would see another quell, not after the problems the 3rd Quell caused. But he'd done it, survived and killed the traitorous duo that rallied the Districts, oh so well. Now another Quell. He reached the podium to a mass of applause coming from all angles. He moved a lock of white hair from his face and lifted one foot slightly. He tried not to sigh; he was getting too old for this job. Shaking his head, he watched as an Avox started to reach him, her ginger hair gleaming in the light.

A slight smile came to his lips as he was given the golden envelope with the 100 marked in big on it. All his thoughts about how bad the games were going to be disappeared. He opened the envelope and took out the card, rimmed with silver and gold. He tried not to chuckle, what a way to keep both the Districts and the Capitol under his control.

"Ladies and Gentlemen" Snow announced, "On the hundredth anniversary of the Dark Days Rebellion and the twenty fifth anniversary of the Nightlock Rebellion, to remind the Districts that they are only slaves to the Capitol, each tribute will have to look after a Capitol child, if this child dies in the arena then so does the tribute."

Silence stunned the audience and snow smiled, here's to all the Capitol rebels and the Districts. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. A round of applause broke out that quickly increased as more people got excited, more people got hyped up. This was going to be one hell of a game.

Thanks for all the tributes I have received.
