Chapter 1 :

As I was alone in my house basement, my mom had yelled my name and told me to go up in the living room. She wanted me to watch the television with her.

When I got to the living room, she hugged me very tightly, like she would never see me ever again.

Then it came up to me, it's that time of the year again. So I sat down very quietly in the couch with shivers. Suddenly, my brother arrived home, and yelled "WHAT DID YOU COOK MOM?" and my mom yelled back "COME SIT DOWN HERE FOR A MOMENT, CARTER."

I bet he had cause lots of chaos again in the streets again. Then my brother sat down next to me and chinned checked me.

Finally, the Capitol channel went on. I see President Rain standing. He held up a microphone and addresses all of Panem.

" Welcome everybody for the very first Quarter Quell! So let's begin with the Treaty of the Treason."

President Rain starts out with the old Treaty of Treason, which everyone had heard a zillion times everywhere. He had recapped how in punishment for rebelling the Capitol, destroying district 13, and the start of the Hunger Games.

Last years hunger games had recapped in my head. My friend Sharkeisha and Skeezer had been reaped and did not survive it. Then my brother asked how the hunger games work since it's his first year of the games to be qualified. I explained.

"The hunger games is when 24 teenagers, one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts, fight to the death as entertainment. But this year's hungers games will have a twist because it is a Quarter Quell." I said.

"Part of the hunger games are the Quarter Quells," continues President Rain. " Every 25 years, we will have a special Hunger games called the Quarter Quell. Now for the Quell."

A little boy in a white tux steps forward holding a box. He unlocks it with a gold key and opened it where hundreds of envelopes were neatly labeled for each Quells.

President Rain grabbed the envelope in the very top that neatly labeled '25' . Then President Rain had announced what kind of Quell it is this year. "This years quell is that the citizens of the districts has to choose their own tributes by voting. It is a reminder that the rebels chose to sacrifice their children in the rebellion." Then he had smiled and said "I can not wait to see the tributes this year and May the odds be ever in your favor." Then the crowd cheers in the Capitol.

Then my brother suddenly told me, "I know who to vote for, nigguh." Then I asked, "who?" then he answered back, "You Titus."
