CHEERS FROM THE Capitol flooded the otherwise silent room, wild screams and excited laughter seeping into the siblings' brains like an infection.
Murphy booed loudly, a small grin on his face at his mild act of defiance, somehow making Aspen feel more at ease.
"And it was written in the charter of the Games," the greying man continued, his eyes flickering with a sadistic excitement as he took back his power from the Districts, "that every twenty-five years there would be a Quarter Quell, to keep fresh, for each new generation, the memory of those who died and the uprising against the Capitol."
Murphy looked over at his sister, leaning towards her slightly as he spoke. "He should be in one— I wouldn't mind plunging a knife into that old bastard's chest." A small laugh followed from him, Aspen didn't respond but an amused smile adorned her face.
"— We celebrate the third Quarter Quell, as a reminder that even the strongest cannot overcome the power of the Capitol. On this, the third Quarter Quell Games, the male and female tributes are to be reaped from the existing pool of Victors in each District."
They were silent for a moment, neither one seemed to know how to act as they stared at the flickering holograph.
Aspen flinched as Murphy threw the glass he was holding through the holographic image of Snow, his taunting grin fizzling before staring back at her.
She couldn't move. She couldn't react. She didn't even know if she could breathe.
Aspen could barely hear her brother's angry screams and violent breaking of various objects as he threw them at the image in front of him.
Aspen only had one thought in her head.
I'm dead.
