Prologue

President Snow sat in his office in the Capitol. He had called an urgent meeting with one his most trusted advisors to discuss some concerns he had. A few minutes passed and the door to his office opened. He looked up and saw Jeanine Matthews, the supervisor of District 4. "Was there something you needed Snow?" she aksed calmly.
"I wanted to talk to you about these rumors I've been hearing." he stood and walked towards her. "What kind of rumors?" she asked.

"Rumors of a rebellion. One that may have been started by Katniss Everdeen." Jeanine nodded. "I've heard them too. Although, I think we can both agree that Miss Everdeen isn't the sole cause of a pausible rebellion."

"What do you mean?" Snow asked raising an eyebrow. "I belive that winners from past Hunger Games may have already being sowing seeds of rebellion throughout Panem. Katniss may have simply lit the fire."

Snow nodded. "You're right. We must do something to prevent a rebellion."

But what?

"The Hunger Games." Jeanine said.

"What do you mean?" Snow asked.

"It's the Quarter Quell. We have to do something "special" this year."

Snow nodded. "Go on."

"This year, draw names from tributes that have already won the games. That way, anyone whose a threat to Panem will be killed."

"That could work. But not all of the districts have victors."

Jeanine knew that he was talking about District 8. No one had ever won from that district.

"You can still choose tributes from there. The normal rules will apply to them."

Jeanine smiled. "After all, what are the chances of a tribute from District 8 winning? Or Katniss against tributes that are far more powerful than her?"

"You're right Miss Matthews. I believe that this is the answer to our problems." Snow looked out the lage window that overlooked the Capitol.

This was how they would end the rebellion before it began. "Contact the other leaders. Tell them to make sure that the most threatening victors are selected in the reaping."

Jeanine nodded and left the room. This would extinguish all flames of rebellion throughout the nation of Panem.

No one would overthrow the Capitol.

No one.
