The Pheonix (Hunger games)

I

I've in the sand looking at the sunset thinking about the reaping and the quarter quell for at least three hours. I was really nervous of the quarter quell, the quarter quell that could change everything and everyone life. President Snow will announce what the special for the third quarter quell will be tonight. For some reason, i have a really bad feeling about this year hunger games, maybe its because of the quarter quell, yeah that's got to be it. When i finally don't see the sun anymore i decide to go back to my house, or should i say my brother's house, since i'm not old enough to actually own a house or event live by myself in the eyes of the president, like he cares. I don't really agree on the last reason because i'm turning sixteen soon and its not like i can't take care of myself. I've survived in the hunger games, if that's not enough, then i don't know what will. After awhile, i arrive at the victor's village, i like to call it the broken's villages because the people are either nuts or still sane but have nightmare of the games and don't really have many emotions left. There are exceptions like my brother, Mags, Annie and me that have nightmares sometimes, but we still have emotions. Sure, for me i'm not as innocent as before, but winning the games at thirteen as that kind of effect. Before i can even start to open the door, its been slam open by my very furious brother. "Hey... What's up?"

"I'll tell you what's up, you should have been here at least two hours ago!? You nearly missed the announcement of the quater quell" He replies angrily with a very serious face. "Not only are you late, but you didn't even tell any of us where you went" he continues "I want answers now and they better be good"

"Well you see... i was at the beach and i just lost track of the time, but now i'm here right, that's what's important" i try to explain "And beside, its not like i want to watch president Snow announce something that will just make this year hunger games even more deadly"

"I know, but its not like we have a choice and beside this year could be surprising, we never know" he replies with a small smirk. "Now come on, the announcement is going to start"

I follow him inside where i see Mags and Annie sitting in the living room looking and waiting has the president his saying is long and boring speech about the history of the hunger games and bla bla bla. After the small talk arrive the announcement that everyone in Panem is waiting for.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 75th year of the hunger games. It was written in the Charter of the games, that in every 25 years, there would be a quarter quell to keep fresh for every new generation the memory of those who died in the uprising against the Capitol. Each quater quell is distinguished by games of a special significance and now this on the 75th anniversary of the defeat of the rebellion we celebrate the third quater quell as a reminder that even the strongest can not overcome the power of the Capitol. On this the third quarter quell games, the tributes are to be reaped from the existing pool of victors from each districts. Reapind day regardless of age and gender."
