The prologue, for your viewing. I'd like one more person to sign up before I truly begin, but the prologue is yours. For anyone who has not seen my fanfics before, please head to my previous two.
Prologue
Ilio Vazon
Head Gamemaker
Things are not what they seem to be in the Capitol. The President and his followers, including that suspiciously macabre bodyguard of his, Hail, put on polite smiles and talk at parties, giving no indication that anything is out of the ordinary. But I know better. The attack on District 2 could be considered a declaration of war. Could be. If they do nothing, the people get suspicious of their power over the Districts, and incite rebellion. If they do something, it shows the Capitol is concerned. Apparently, Snow is working on something to show that the districts are completely within our (?) power. Something called a....Quarter Quell?
I've been doing research after the attack. Everything the Capitol has tried to cover up, their weaknesses, are now exposed in front of me. I now know with a grim satisfaction all of the higher-ups' dirty secrets. I now know that "President" Snow murdered the previous one. As for the attack on District 2...My thoughts are interrupted by an announcement. "All Gamemakers report to the meeting room immediately. All Gamemakers report to the meeting room immediately." I hide the stolen confidential folders in my desk and walk through the hallway.
All of the Gamemakers in one room. Something that doesn't happen unless during the Hunger Games. Which happens to be tomorrow, by the way. So why are we here. Soren Blackpoint begins to talk. "We have identified our enemy," he says calmly, "and it is very powerful. Some of you are aware of this, some of you are not, but the ones behind the attack on the Peacekeeper Academy is a group known as Shatterpoint, led by a radical named Solomon Coin. Your goal? To create muttations worthy of eliminiating them. We must not let this disrupt the peace. One last thing. These rebels are from District 13."
So my suspicions are confirmed. District 13 rebels. Why didn't I know that District 13 was still there? They didn't bother to tell me? Or...., I fill with dread, they don't trust me... We're dismissed, and I go back into the records. Jack, the main Career from the 21st Hunger Games. Something isn't right about him. I scan his facial profile, and when I see the results my heart nearly leaps out of my chest. He was not originally from District 1, having been found in the wilderness, raving about a "shatterpoint." But a Career, from District 13?
So he was an agent of Shatterpoint. Things are falling into place very quickly. I look through the files, and find the name of the victor of the 21st Hunger Games. Storm. To be terminated for knowing too much. He must have seen Jack's escape from the Games. But why wait so long to kill him. Then I remember that Snow was not yet President at that time. I know what I need to do. Storm has just arrived here as a mentor to the tributes of this year. This is when they're going to kill him. The lights go out momentarily. I look around for the source. I hear helicopter blades spinning. Then it stops.
The lights come back on, and I sprint to the District 11 tribute quarters. I hope I'm not too late. I place my hand on my gun instinctively, and go to the District 11 quarters to find that the door is ajar. I step in nervously, and find myself face-to-face with a man in a black trench coat, with graying hair and eyes that pierce right through me. I know this man. The leader of Shatterpoint, the cause of my exile and my family's death. Solomon Coin.
