User blog:ArleneLove'sTHG/Revenge: The 4th book of the Hunger Games

All of this is fake. All of my friends wish there was a 4th book so I thought, "Why not make a fake one! :D" So here it is. In the end of Mockingjay, they don't say the childrens names. So I named the girl Primstome and the boy Cinna. Hope you enjoy! INFO ON BOOK: What if there are far wose games to play? What if Katniss' family and friends would be in trouble because a choice she has to make? Is Snow still alive...? Is Coin...? All of these questions will be answer in this new(fake)book called Revenge!

Chapter One: Part 1
I'm outside watching my two kids-Primstone and Cinna-play in the medow. It has been about twenty years since The Hunger Games...since me and Peeta won...since President Snow died...since everything. Peeta comes at my side and kisses my cheek. It has taken me fifteen years to agree to them, but Peeta wanted them so badly. The dancing Prim and the small Cinna trying to keep up with her. Prim is already learning about all that has happened in the past-with the games and all. Cinna would learn in a while. Peeta lets go of my hand to go and goes to play with them dispite his fake leg that he got thanks to the 74th Hunger Games. I laugh at his sillyness.

"Peeta!" I smile as I come and join them. After playing, we all walk hand-in-hand to our home. The Primroses Peeta planted years back in the backyard died, but when they do, he plants fresh ones. We say our hi's to Greasy Sae and Haymitch, and everyone. I would say life is great now...but I can't. I still have the nightmares fresh in my mind. The deaths. The fights. The games. They are all still in my mind that not even Peeta, nor the kids, nor anyone can take them away. I hear a knock on the door and go to answer it. Chills still fill my body everytime I open the door, always sacared its Snow. I open it holding my breath and see a small girl in front of me.She is about four feet nine inches...and her hair is a color I cannot explain. It is black with greyish strands of hair mixed with red that show when her hair in in the sunlight. She is olived-skined as me, too. Her eyes are a deep grey with a fleck of gold.

"Hi. Your Katniss Mellark, correct?"

"Yes..."

"May I come in?" She leans to the side to poke her head through a gap between me and the doorway.

"Sure." I answer and I lead her to the couch.

"I'm sorry. We haven't meet." She says as we both sit down. "I'm Silver, Silver Snow." I try to keep my jaw from dropping and my heart skips a beat. She pulls her hand out and I shake it slowly. Peeta puts the kids in Prim's room with a coloring book then shuts the door to come and join me and Silver.

"Hello. I'm Peet-" He gets cut off my Silver finishing his sentence, "Peeta Mellark. Yes, I know. It is a pleasure to meet you both." We get into conversation. I'm still shocked to hear its Snow's daughter.

"Your Snow's daughter...right?" I ask slowly cutting hers and Peeta conversation that I practicly blocked out.

"Oh no." Relif shoots though me. "I'm his granddaughter." The relif goes away as fast as it came. This must be the granddaughter Johanna was talking about. Johanna was a friend that was in the Quater Quell with me and Peeta.

"Who's your mother?" Peeta asks curiously.

"You know her..."

"I do?"

"Both of you do, actully." Silver says, not just directing that statment at Peeta, but at me too. Faces and names shoot through my mind. I can't remeber anyone that might look like this girl.

"How old are you?" I ask and she answers fourteen. I'm still trying to think of who might be her mother that me and Peeta know...think of who could be Snow's daughter or son. I look at Peeta and he shrugs.

"Here's an important fact you might remeber, Katniss...you killed her." Silver says with a glare I know won't leave my mind.

Chapter 2
Silver is Coins daughter. Coin is Snow's daughter! I think all the dotts are connected when another bomb shell gets dropped on me by her. She tells us the whole story of everything. "They are alive and are forming a weird rebelion against you two."

"How are they alive?" I ask. I shot Coin with my arrow and saw Snow's dead body!

"Try and remember back when you were having the vote on if there should be another Hunger Games but for the capiol only...where did Coin keep Snow?" I don't know that one... I drop my gaze and Silver continues, "Ever think of what happen to Coin once she left? To Snow?" I don't... "Other capitol members volenteered to fill in for them, they faked their death. All the stylist for the tributes of the games didn't die...they were held captive to make the volenteers look just like Coin and Snow. They made everyone believe they were dead. Coin and Snow helped with that... The rest of the stylist are either, yes dead, or yes apart of the rebellion without a choice." I look up at Peeta.

"So this is what it feels like to be on the other side." He says in a sigh.

"When Snow came and made a suprise vist to you, Katniss, and he know about the kiss between you and Gale, its because of me..." she drops her gaze and piddles with her thumbs. "I was his watchful eye on you. I watched you sneak into the woods, kiss Gale, the whole ten yards." she rises her gaze to me and Peeta, a sad and upset expresion on her face. And to think I thought she was going to kill me and my family for me killing her mother!

"Isn't nine yards?" I asked.

"No...I crossed some lines I wasn't supose to." Millions of quesions fly through my mind. Some I think Peeta has too by his expression. "I must go. I'll drop by tomorrow morning." she rises and lets her self out. Before she opens the door she calls out my name, causing me to turn around when I was hoping I wouldn't have to. I answer with a quiet, "Yes?"

"Make sure you open the door..." At that she walks out and closes the door ever so slightly, you would barely even notice she left. Peeta comes to my side and holds me. There are much worse games to play...

Chapter 3
I wake up with Peeta at my side watching me sleep. I burry my head in his chest as the kids come in our room jumpping on our beds. Peeta is the first to grab them, play with them, then get Prim ready for school. I go downstairs while Peeta gets the kids dressed to make breakfast. Our front door knocks as Prim, Cinna, and Peeta eat. I get up to answer it. I hesitate for a moment then remeber what Silver said the day before, "Make sure you open the door..." I guess she was telling the truth about being Snow's watchful eye on me, if she knew I might not open the door. A thought screams in my head, "What if she is watching me for Snow now?" Peeta is at my side and opens the door somehow knowing I wouldn't be able too.

"Guess you didn't do as told yesterday, Katniss..." Her expression and tone of voice stricen.

"What?" I ask confused.

"To open the door, silly!" Now I see the side of Coin and her fourteen year old side.

"Please, come in." Peeta says speaking the words that wouldn't seem to come out of my mouth. Silver walks in and sits where she sat yesterday. Peeta left a few minutes ago to take Prim to school. when he returned Silver started talking immediately.

"Snow is planing on starting a uprising-as you did, Katniss-except starting in the Capitol. He has formed a large group of people who are willing to take his side, and-" I cut her off by asking, "Are you watching me for Snow, as you did years back?"

"Never! How can you even accuse me of something I regret in the past!?"

"Well! You telling us all about this without a reason!"

"You have never let me get to the reason!"

"Ladies!" Peeta barks at us. "Silver continue." He looks at me and whispers, "It mighthave an effect on our kids..."

"Indeed it does... Now, reason why I am telling this to you two is because we need you and Katniss. We need you both to help fight him!"

"Your going against you family...?" I ask shcoked.

"Sadly, yes, I am."

"Then you have us." Peeta says.

"It's not that simple. If Katniss comes...she puts your kids in danger."

"How?" Peeta asks curiously and a hurt look on his face.

"It's just what they want. They will somehow find out that you left District 12 in search of his rebelion and invade your home." I look up at Peeta with the same hurtful look on my face. How could someone you love so much, be put in danger because of me?

Chapter 4
I ask Silver is we should inform Haymitch. She answers wish a slight chuckle saying when she knocked to tell him, and walked inside. She had to jump out the kitchen window to prevent him from hitting her with the glass bottle he was drinking from. We all laugh at this because that is a "Haymitch thing to do."

Peeta went to pick up Prim while I made Silver tea. He comes in and Prim rushed through the living room, down the hall, into the office where I had a discusion with Snow to do her homework. Peeta smiles at her and goes back to me and Silver. I pour him a cup of tea as we continue the causes and effect on if I stay or go.

"If would go," Silver starts, "there is a high chance you children will be kills. And if they are not to be killed, theu are to suffer as Peeta did with the Tracker Tracker venom, again, as Peeta did." Peeta nods at that, remembering the bubbly memories.

"If we stay?" Her brow furrows as she speaks again in a more softer tone than before, "You put all of us at risk of facing Snow and Coin." This is an imoppisble decision for me and Peeta to make! Should we stay or should we go?

"What is I go and, Katniss stays?" Peeta asked.

"Either way-if one or both go-he will surly bring enough weapons to bring everyone here down! Use you all at your will of the Tracker Jacker venom. Coin, too."

"Why do you refer to your brandfather and mother in that way? As Snow and Coin, I mean."

"Coin is far like a momther to me, and same with Snow-as a grandfather, of course." She answers as she bows her head i sadness. I nod and refill our tea cups. I continue the conversation.

"Is there anywhay we can by-pass this effort of having Snow attack our home?"

"By taking your children with you! Which is too dangerous for them. He will atack your home, but not the children because they would be with you." Me and Peeta know this. "Now that I bring this up...I see it is far to dangerous for you both. I am so sorry for draging you in this."

She gets up and leaves when I get up and catch her by the arm and say, "Are you saying that you will not need our help with this?"

"No, no. We do, but your family's life is at stake, and I could not bare for anything to happen to them!" I let go of her arm and she leaves. I hear Prim call out for me to help her on homework. Peeta goes in Cinna's room to play with him as I help Prim with her homework.

I think about what she said while helping Prim with her homework. I am suprised when she finishes because I'm not sure if I even helpped her! She runs into Cinna's room and Peeta leaves and closes the door. I go into my bedroom and look inside my drawer. I finsh the Pearl, the Mockingjay Pin, and a picture of my and my falimy, My sister Prim as a baby in my moms arms, me, my Dad and Mom looking lost in each others eyes. My lip quivers and a tear is about to ecsacpe from my eye. Peeta startles me by hugging me from behind and resting his head on my shoulder. Tears stream down my face as he wips them. I turn and he holds me.

Chapter 5
I cut the fresh loaf of bread and give three slices to Prim and Cinna-one for each of them and one to take for Peeta. Peeta screams my name and I run to him. I stop in the doorway and see the kids okay and him too.

"What? What is it?!" I ask.

"Look!" He points to the television and it shows soething I can't believe. I rush to the phone and call Silver with the number she left me. I hear her television in the backround playing the same thing. They must have all control over the televisions now. She hangs up after saying she is on her way. I call Haymitch and his phone isn't working. He must have broke it again! I run to his house and knock. She doesn't answer so I open this window and wake him. I remembered to take the knife away this time.

"The uprising started."

"Uprising? Sweetheart, that happened twenty years ago..." he says as she stands up, only to fall again. I pick him up tell him everythig as I try to get hi to the door. He acts complete sober and serious as he walks to my house. I walk beside him catching him a few times. I open the door and Peeta takes Haymitch to the couch, The kids, oblivious to what's happening, jump on his calling him Uncle Hay or Uncle Mitch. Haymitch throws a ball and tells them to fetch. I shake my head and Peeta grabs the ball.

"They aren't dogs, Haymitch."

After a while of waiting I call Silver again. She doesn't answer so I set off paceing back and forth biting my nails. The habit I got from the 74th Hunger Games that took me a while to break will come back soon. Someone knocks and I launch myself at the door and open it, rushing Silver in.

"What took you so long?! There is a freaking uprising and--" I get cut off by Peeta covering my mouth.

"Excuse her." Peeta says guiding me to the couch next to a laughing Haymitch. He lets go of me and I cross my arms. Silver answer by rising her eyebrows and nodding with a forced smile. Peeta sits next to me and introduces Silver to Haymitch even though she already knows him-by the games he was in and the fall off the stage during the 74 games reaping and everything else. She fills us all on the facts.

"That's just the begining. It will get worse and more violent." She points to the screan, which looks like it belings in a gore movie. Peeta shoots up and rushes the kids in another room. I lower my head and Haymitch is wide eyed and is fixed on the television, flinching at every death. I turn my head away from it all and go in the kitchen. I couldn't believe my eyes and I feel this is my fault. Peeta turns the telivision off and I go back in the room.

Silver leaves and Peeta walked Haymitch home. I brought Prim and Cinna back in the family room and colored with them. Peeta comes in and he makes a beeline for the kitchen. I roll my eyes and put my colors down to meet him in there.

"Promise me you won't go." He looks me in the eye and takes my hands in his. His eyes grow worry by my hesitaion, usually this sort of thing-the kind that hints his undying love for me and how he doesn't want to lose me, it makes me feel guilty and awful. But I’m so scared and worrying about a future I have, I just let the word slip out. "Okay." I say. He hugs me and kisses the top of my head. He goes in the family room with the kids to continue my coloring and I lean against the counter top with one thought in my mind, "I have to go..."

Chapter 6
After watching the news, I feel sick to my stomache and run in the bathroom to bet rid of my breakfast. Peeta comes in and holds my hair back. When I'm sure all if it is out of my system, Peeta goes to the sink and gives me a glass of water. I go againt the wall and accept the cup and can't hold them back anymore, and I cry. He strokes my hair back and leaves the bathroom. "I have to go. I have to." I say to myself. The drawbacks flow in and out of my mind. The risk of my family and maybe my friends. The risk of inocent lifes being taken away by Snow and Coin because of me. Silver might be at risk, too. Even Gale dispite the fact I haven't seen him since he left. My mom, also. I don't know what their plan is, I don't know how to react, but I know I have to go.

I go up stairs undictected and go to my room. I close the door behind me and lay in the bed. A few minutes late Peeta comes up stairs and I know I wasn't Undetected.

"Hey..." He says and I can feel him hesitate to make his way to the bed to comfort me.

"Where are Prim and Cinna?" I ask, trying to avoid the question I know he'll ask.

"With Hamitch. You're going...aren't you?" And theres that question I was trying to avoid.

"Haymitch? That's not very smart..." I say, trying to avoid answering.

"Greasy Sae is there, too. Are you going to answer?" And there's another question I don't like.

"Yes... I am." I choke out.

"Okay, I understand." I'm not sure if he's going out to glued in his spot. I turn and find him on his knees leaning over the side of the bed. He catches my hands and wips the tears that come down my cheek. he climbs in the bed and holds me.

"I understand why you want to go." he whispers with his chin on the top of my head. I can't stop the sniffles and the choking noises. I used to be scared to show my tears, to look weak. But now, I can't help it.

"You do understand?"

"I do understand you can't follow an order for your life. So yes, I do." I laugh at that and find my eye lids getting heavy.

I wake up an 30 minutes after my nap. Peeta isn't at my side. I go down stairs and the chairs and table tops and turned and broke. I run around my house screaming for Peeta, Prim, and Cinna. I hear a creek and turn slowly to find the front door slightly ajar. I remember Peeta saying the children were at Haymitch's so he must have gone to get them. I slowly make my way out the door and see the district grey and gloomy. I ignore that fact and go to Haymitch's. There door is halfway off its hinges and broken in half. His house looks much like mine, also. I go over the door and call out their names. I go in and out of rooms. A stentch finds its way in my nose and I go up the stairs. I walk stright down the hall. The door moves slightly and I run for it. The smell gets stronger. I burst through the door to find a scean I can't seem to take my eyes off. Peeta, Haymitch, Prim, and Cinna all against a wall in the room bloody and dead. I lean against the door way for suport. Something grabs my legs and pulls me back. I fall on my stomache, sceaming and kicking.

Something grabs my wrist and shakes me.

"Katniss! Katniss!" I open my eyes to see Peeta. His eyes filled with worry and his eye brows pushed against each other. He's breathing heavy and I calm down. I sit up and asked what happened. "I go to get the children and come through the door to hear your kicking and screaming. Are you alright?" I nod and the kids come poking their head in the room. Peeta turns their head and they run away. He brings me a tray of fresh cookies and tea, telling me it was all a dream. But it seemed more than that, it seemed like reality.

Chapter 7
"Ready?" Silver asks me. I nod and Peeta takes my hand in his. I take Prim's hand and Peeta hold Cinna as we follow Silver who is infront of us. I see a hovercraft-a machine higher ditricts use to travel through the air. I haven't been in one of these since the rebelion. Silver stops, turns around and nods once and goes inside. I say my good byes to my friends and family.

"Remember, we are madly in love, so feel free to kiss me anytime." Peeta whispers in my ear as we hug. I smile and kiss him. I go up the ramp and turn to get one last look. Everyone holds their three fingers to their lips and holds their arm out to me. A tear falls down my cheek because I haven't seen this since the games. I turn and go inside the hovercraft.

"Ready?" Silver asks again.

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Positive?" I get frustrated and turn to her. She shrugs and I say slightly more sarcasticly than I hoped, "Yes, I'm sure, I'm positive. Now, where are we going?"

She hesitates for a second then desides on saying, "The Capitol..."

We land and the place is trashed. I get out and see a mess. I turn to the right to follow Silver and in front of me is Snow's house. It seems like they out his lawn and hoe in a dome during a fight because the lawn is green and the house has no dirt on it. I walk in and I seems the same as it did when I was at the games. Memories flow in my mind and won't leave my mind no matter how many more memories go in. I golf size ball rises in my throat as Silver gives me a tour I had twenty years ago. Dispite it being so long ago, I remember all the nooks and cranies in this place. The places I ran to to hide, the room I stayed in, the room full of roses.

I get settled in the same room. I hear a knock and footsteps.

"Why are we here?"

"Because, we need a plan." I hear a voice that isn't Silver's but very recognizable. I turn and see Effie. I run to her and hug her. She laughs and returns my hug. She has no wig on. Her hair is stright and light brown ith a hint of yellow. She has little make-up and I soak up Effie with out her extravigent look. he is dressed her normal way though. "How are you?"

"Feeling well."

"Good, good." She tells me. We discuss the plans and wardrobe. She pulls out Cinna's drawing book full of the sketches that came to life that helpped me through the rebellion. It seem's I haven't gootten done with crying, because tears stream out of my eyes as I turn the pages. Cinna, who I named my son after. The man who helpped me in the games, who was my friend, who was my stylist.

I go downstairs for dinner. We have my favorite, the lamb stew! I eat every bite and feel it churning in my stomache. I run to the nearest bathroom and let it all spill out in the toliet. Effie comes and pulls my braid back. "Must have ate too much, like on the first train ride..." I say.

"Yeah, must have. You okay?" I nod my hair and Effie helps me off the bathroo floor and back in the dining room to say my good nights. I go in my bedroom to get ready to sleep. A knock is on the door and I come out of the bathroom drying my hair. I hear a laugh and look up to see Gale leaning against the doorway casually. I drop my towel and run to him. He catches me in mid-air and spins me around. After a few spines, he sets me on the floor.

"I'm so happy too see you! I haven't seen you in years!"

"I know," he laughs. "I heard about this thing about you being like the capitol and the ex-capitol you." I nod and start to fill him in when he stops me by telling me he missed me. We sit on the bed and talk about how life has been since the games and the rebellion. He tells me about his job he took as a Head of the Board Reconstruction of the Districts.

"Wow, sounds complicated..."

"It is." He laughed. I haven't thought of it, but, I did miss his laugh. I smile as he goes on. I check the time and he tells me I should sleep. I nod and he hugs me good night. He leaves and I lay to go to sleep, and wish for Peeta, Cinna(both), Prim(both), my mother, Haymitch, and everyone to be with me now.

Chapter 8
"Good morning, Catnip."

"Hey, Gale."

"Brought you breakfast." He says and hold up a tray of food as he enter the room. After we eat he leaves so I can get dressed.

"What are the plans for today?" I ask Effie.

"Well, we were going to start with your skill training, maybe with Gale like before?" Silver answers for Effie. I answer with a simple "okay" and Silver preps my bow and arrow. The same one I used for the rebellion years ago. I hold it and examine the arrows. Galen grabs his bow, smiles at me, grabs an arrow, and aims and shoot perfectly in the center of the target with grace. I never remembered him this good. I try and my frist few shots are wobbly, just like the training. I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and try again.

After a few shots with the bow and arrow, we desicde to go hunting. I use the bow and arrows I brought with me for the hunting, so its like home. I shoot like Gale with the updated bow and arrows, shooting the deer right in the eye. I smile at him and he nods. I'm about to drag the deer when Gale beats me to it and hauls it over his shoulders. I roll me eyes when he gesters for me to lead the way.

We make it back with the deer. Silver waits in front for us.

"What took you guys so long? Effie's about to blow her head off worrying about going off your training schedule!" I laugh and go inside. Gale carrys the deer in the kitchen and I go and meet Effie.

"We are five minutes behind schedule. Your supose to be upstairs for fitting."

"Fitting?"

"Yes, fitting."

"Am I going to have to sit and be pretty like before?"

"No because when we tried that you wouldn't sit still."

"Then fitting for what?" She stood up and went upstairs. I followed her up and she leads me in my room. Along the walls are dresses, shirts, and pants.

"Try on a few of the outfits and pick the onesmost comfertable. I know it's not like before but we have no stylist team, hence me not beautifyed." I laugh and she walks out the room. I deside to try on the dresses first and try on three dresses. I pick a beautful grey sleveless dress that matches my eyes with a red flame design. Silver comes in and helps me with trying on the dresses. Looks like we are stick with the flames still. The next one is a short sleaved dark morron dress that resembles blood. Suprising enough it is easy to move in. The last dress is a red dress with an orange ribbon around the waist. Once I'm about to remove the green dress a knock is on the door and Effie comes in.

"I see you picked to try the dresses first." I nod and she tells me to put them on the bed along with the oufits I like. I nod again and she leaves.Silver grabs the two dresses and puts them on the bed along with the green one. The outfits resemble each other, only difference is the colors. Silver puts though on the bed and goes to get Effie.

"Why do I need to try on dresses?" I ask Effie and Silver takes it as her cue to leave the room.

"Because, we have to answer Snow's mesages."

"His mesages?" Effie leads me down stairs and turns on the television. It shows Snow, Coin, and other people anouncing their rebellion like how I did with Gale years back. I look in the background and see a ashy building I know is familiar. My eyes widen and I feel short of breath. I stand and can't seem to move and fall back. Gale rushes and catches me. I remember Gale yelling for someone to get water, then, I black out.

Chapter 9
I wake up and my face is wet. I see Silver with a wet cloth, ringing it out, dabing it on my cheeks and forhead.

"How you feeling?"

"Okay. What happen?"

"We were watching Snow give anouncments about his rebellion, as you did when you had one, and you passed out." She told me putting the cloth back in the water and dabing it again. "I would think you'd remember by the hard fall you almost took."

"Oh, right."

"Why did you pass out? Nerves?" The memory floods my mind. I shoot up and she holds my shoulders still, trying to keep me from getting out of bed. She fails and I end up making her fall.

"District 12! He was in district 12! They, were in district 12!"

"What? How do you know?" She asks and she gets up and puts the cloth in the bucket and trys to dry the water with her shirt.

"The building in the background! It was The Hob!"

"Are you sure? Because the background was pretty ashy. Maybe it was 13?"

"It wasn't 13 for sure, haven't you seen it? And the background was The Hob because I saw it get burned down!" She gets up and I go in the bathroom to get towels to clean the water. She comes back with Effie and Gale and tells me to explain it to them. As I explain worry creases their faces.

"I need to get to District 12," I get up and rush to the door. They put me back in my seat and fight me to stay. "I have to go! My children could be in danger! My husband!"

"We can't let you go. Remeber, it is his plan!" Silver tells.

"You knew they were in there?!"

"I suposed they were, didn't think he would go that far-crossing the line and going for family."

"This is Coin! Snow! Of course they would go that far! They used tracker jacker venom in Peeta so he would go against-" It hits me that that is exacly what he is doing, and everyone knew but me. I shake my head and get up. And this time, they let me go. I walk outside-and for some reason it is cold out-and cry. I look back and no one has followed me. I run toward the forest area and don't plan on stopping until I find a good climbing tree where no one can see me.

I find a good tree with long and strong branches. A Mockingjay flys by and lands in the branch close me. I sing Rue's Lullaby and it goes quiet.

Deep in the meadow, under the willow A bed of grass, a soft green pillow Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes And when again they open, the sun will rise

 Here it's safe, here it's warm  Here the daisies guard you from every harm Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away&nbsp A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray Forget your woes and let your troubles lay And when again it's morning, they'll wash away

Here it's safe, here it's warm  Here the daisies guard you from 'every harm Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true Here is the place where I love you!

The Mockingjay flys away. A few minutes later, more birds sing it. I smile and I climb down.

"Looks like the bread boy was right." I look up and see Gale.

"How long have you been here and what do you mean Peeta was right?"

"Long enough. And I mean when you were in the games-in the cave with him-and he was telling you what he ment by "he loved you since forever." and said when you sang that song, every bird went quiet. He was right, because I have now seen it." He tells me and cups my cheek in his hand. "He's a lucky guy."

"How so?"

"Because he has you." He whispers and leans foward.

"Gale stop. I have a family."

"I was stupid for leaving. I miss you, I really do. Please...give me one more chance." He ignores what I said and kisses me. I wanted to desperately pull him apart from me but I have to be honest, I did miss him sometimes, too. I sink into his touch. Peeta and my children fill my mine. I see Peeta shaking his head and walking away with Prim and Cinna. I don't want to let them go. I pull Gale's lips off mine and he rest his forehead on mine and whispers, "I had to do that, just one time."

Someone clears their throat and I look over Gale's shoulder and he turns his head. He pinches the bridge of his nose when I see Silver's eyebrows raise in question-even though he bangs are across her forhead-I can still tell.

"Well, I see you succeeded on getting her down the tree." She tells Gale. He sighs about to answer but stops him by putting her hand up as if to say "don't explain yourself and go." she points in the direction to the house. He moves and I'm about to follow when she stops me. "We need to talk." I look at Gale for help but he's already gone.

"What are you doing? You have a family, a husband, who loves you dearly! Do you want to mess that up by cheating?!"

"No. I-"

"I am not finished." She cuts me off with a serious face. Now I see coin. "I am smart enough to know that Gale is the end of you. Don't you see that?" She tells me shaking her head. "He is a bad choice! Don't fall into his arms again, Katniss!" She grabs my hands to make her point. I nod my head. "Don't." She whispers.

Things were awkward during dinner between me and Gale...between me and everyone. I felt tired so I went to bed early. I'm too tired to get dressed in my night clothes so I pass out in my bed.

Chapter 10
Peeta, Cinna, Prim, and Haymitch are all lined up against a wall bloody. I cover my mouth to try and not make a noise and leans against the doorway for suport. Something grabs my legs and pulls me back. I kick and scream. It hisses my name. I roll on my back as it pulls me down the stairs. I grab onto anything I can get my hands on but the force it causes is to strong. It stops and I sit up. It pushes me down and puts it foot on my chest. I try to pull it off but it doesn't budge. The thing that pulled me down and faught me turns into a silhouette that connects to the foot. It leans down and whispers something in my ear that I can't make out. I turn my head away from it in disgust. I laughs and pulls out something. It is shiny and a knife. I can tell it uses all its force to fight the air and push it down in me. I scream at the top of my lungs.

Something shakes my shoulders and I wake up and my vision is blurred. I see Peeta. He stokes my hair back and hushes me telling me it's okay. My vision clears when I hear his voice and I now know it's not Peeta..its Gale. He pulls me up and hugs me, hushing me and telling me it was a dream. I see Silver and Effie looking worried with a few of the servents. That dream keeps getting deeper and deeper in my head.

During breakfast I still feel embaressed by my screaming even though it was hours ago. Gale volenteered to sleep in my room to make sure I'm okay. Silver shot him a look and he took back his plea of volenteering and Silver ended up sleeping on the floor in my room. I feel eyes on me and take my focus off me pushing my food around on my plate and see Gale staring at me. Once he noticed I caught him staring he looks away and down at his plate. I look at Silver and she rolls her eyes and shakes her head. Effie stopped eatting and is writing, checking, and reading things in her planner.

The television flickers on. Gale imideatly rises and goes to it along with Silver. Me and Effie stay turned in our seat to get a better veiw of it.

"Hello Panem! Hello Katniss." Snow says. I get up and slowly make my way to the television with Gale and Silver. I see Peeta tied up, blind folded, and tape on his mouth. I sink to my knees and dare not to faint. I've done that enough and I know I can't miss it.

"As you see we have Peeta, meaning, we have you children." Coin says in the backround pointing at Peeta. My mouth is ajar and I can't remove my eyes off Peeta. I touch the screan, wishing I can touch him. "Show yourself, Katniss! Prove you can still fight." Then the television goes black. I missed everything she said.

I look at Silver for a hint of what she said and she looks at Effie and Gale. "Time to plan." She says and gets up.

"What about me?"

"You can go and rest. You have enough to worry about, we'll tell you the plan when we have it."

Chapter 11: Part 2
Silver sits at the foot of my bed with a stupid smile on her face.

"I take it you have a plan already?" I ask still sleepy.

"Far from it!" I confused expression shows on my face and ahe laughs. "Of course we have a plan!"

"May I hear it...?"

"Sure. Okay, now, Coin and Snow will be looking for The Girl On Fire." Her eyes widen at that and I scense the plan is a crazy one. "So, I dress up in one of you dresses and be you and-"

"No," I inturupt her. "No, not happening. I'm not going to put you in danger, Silver!"

"Oh come on, Katniss! Just let me finish." I lay back and listen to her go on. "Okay, I dress up as you using the "modernized" bow. Gale will "get hurt" and I will do a Katnissy-thing-to-do and shout his name and rush to his aid! Causing Snow or Coin to notice me and jump out of their pretty little hovercraft and rush to get me. They pull me up in the hovercraft and I say hello to my mom and/or grandfather!"

"And what will you do when your in there beside say hello? And I wounld'nt shout his name and rush to his aid!" She gives me a look I know to well. It is the Oh-you-know-it's-ture look. I sigh and sink back into my bed.

"I will have a knife or two hidden at under my dress at my ankle and fight. And I can fight!" She adds quickly knowing I'll say she might not. "Then, I take over the hovercraft and use the weapons in there on the other people."

"How do you know Snow or Coin will be in there and weapons, too?"

"Well, at least one will be because they might be planning on abduction you. And why wouldn't they have weapons? That's a waist of a hovercraft during a war." She made a point.

"How will Gale get hurt?"

"We are planing on him tripping or accedntly cutting himself. Nothing major."

One more question burned in my mind, "How will we get Peeta and my family?" A smile tugged at her mouth and I knew her answer would be a few simple words, "Leave that to me."

Me, Gale, and Silver start training immediately. We work with knifes, bow and arrows, hand-on-hand combat, and everything in between. Silver aces the knifes and hand-on-hand combat, not so much witht he arrows. Me not so much on the hand-on-hand combat, and Gale aces just about it all. We have one more week with the training.

"Ready for the annoucment of our arival?" Effie asked with a hint of glee in her eyes. I'm in the red dress with the orange ribbon. She, Silver, and Gale try to work the lights and cameras outsid ein the Capitol to film my message at the place where he started his rebelion. I feel bad so I ignore them telling me to sit down and get up to help them.

"You people look like your having dificulties." That voice is familiar.... I lift my head and turn around.

"Johanna!"

"Miss me?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I hear about you having trouble with he camera's and lights so I desided to come out of hiding." I look at her and tilt my head to the side. "I'm just kidding. Gale sent me to help with the fighting." I look at Gale and he smiles.

"Thought it would be nice to see another familiar face." He shrugs.

Chapter 12
Johanna helps get the light's working to the right brightness then helps on the camera's. I sit down on a low tree, crossed legged and little make on thanks to the help of Effie. I go over my lines as they try to work the camera's and get control over the televisions.

"How is it that we have to hack into their system when we should have all power over the televisions?!" Silver asked in a fusterated tone.

"Maybe this would be easier with Beetee and Wiress!" I laugh and shake my head. I miss them though, I wish I could see them both again.

"Oh this reminds me," Silver says and stops helpping and goes behind me. "You should have your hair done and not in this simple, boring braid."

"Speak for yourself!" I gasp, "You always have your hair in a low bun!" She crosses her arms and takes her pins out of her hair and it fall down on her shoulders.

"Happy? Now let me do you hair." Once I feel her fingering going through my hair, I hear her whisper the steps under her breath. "Your doing the same hairstyle my mom did for me during the reapping...aren't you?" I ask and she says yes. "You were there when she was explaining the steps to my styling team."

"And remember every second of it." She says and puts her pins in my hair to secure it down. I feel it and it brings back memories.

"I think I have them working!" Gale says and Effie pulls out a talking device and says something.

"Yes, it is working we have control over all television. And Silver..." Silver looks up, "Your going to be the shot of you don't move." She nods and gets behind the camera's with everyone else and takes my script and shows it above the camera so I can read them if I forget. We don't have muchh fancy things since my filiming team is gone. It's just going to be Effie filming for us.

I give my speach. "And you, Snow, Coin, have caused the pain on people's faces. The scars on their bodys, the nightmares in their mind. And you caused this!" I raise my hands to show the scean behind me. I see Silver gesture for me to stand and mouths the word 'walk.' I do and Gale quicky follows my with the cameras on wheels. I continue with it walking and touching the dead plants to bring effect. "You told me to show my face Coin. So here it is!"

We start our war in district two where Silver says they were hiding out.

"You'll do just fine." She tells me.

"What if I don't? What if you get hurt in the hovercraft? What if-" she cuts me off by covering my mouth.

"You WILL do fine!" She expazises the 'will.' She is about to leave when I ask her to sing me a song.

"I don't really sing..." I give her my bed pouty face and she rolls her eyes and walks back to my bed. Sh sits on the foot of it. "I don't know much songs...but I know one. It is very very short but it is also the only one I really remember..." She clears her throut and begings:

If I was gone, then you would see

Harder I try, more you have to learn

I may seem strong, but that's the surface you see

I'm hiding inside, I'm stuck underneath.

She sings the "I'm stuck underneath" part three more times, holding the last note, before ending the song. My eye lids grow heavey, and I fall alseep with her soft voice still in my mind, and I wonder if this is how Rue felt when her life slowly past on when I sang to her.

Chapter 13
I roll over and get up. The silhouette curses under their breath then yanks the knife out of the gound. "You goning to get it now!" It growls at me. I turn around and run away. I push through the broken back door. I make a left and run through District 12s town center. I look back and it isn't far away. I pick up my pase and quickly go to my spot in the fence. The fence has a slight hum and it shocks me a little. My finger tips are burned from the slight electic shock but I have to keep going. I push forward in the medow. I can go to the clif where I met Gale the day of the reaping...but if it is on my heels I will sure not lose it and then what? I can grab one of my hidden bows and attack it...but it will take too long if it is close. I end up running to the lake. The water is murkey and swamy. I decide to dive in. I perfect the dive and rise my head above the water. Something brings me back down. I kick and swim uo. The silhouette is drowning me. I scream and end up going deeper into the water, kicking and watching my air bubble rise to the surface of the water.

I fall out of bed and wake up instently. I look around with no one here to be by me after this nightmare. I hear whistling and my door opens. It is Silver eatting breakfast.

"Why are you on the floor?" She ask as she sets her food down on my nightstand and helps me up.

"I fell out of bed." I say and hold the back of my head.

"Oooh," she says like a little kid who is about to tattle-tale, "If your hurt Haymitch isn't going to be happy!"

"Haymitch?" my head shoots up at his name.

"Yes Haymitch. He's here downstairs wrestling Gale for the alcohol." Silver laughs. I get up and walk downstairs. She follows me with her food. We turn the corner to enter the kitchen and Gale has Haymitch in a headlock, while Effie trys to get the knife out of his hand. I laugh and Haymitch looks up and smiles and asures me everythings fine. I shake my head and take the bottle off the table and get the knife. Gale lets Haymitch up, prepared if he trys anything funny. This moment reminds me of the train ride, for some reason and I throw the knife. It hits the wall, right in the middle of two kitchen cabnets.

"Looks like you can fight with a knife, too." Haymitch says. I turn and hugs him.

"I'm glad your okay."

"Me too, sweetheart." I sence the hesitation in his voice. He was probably going to say sorry about my family, but thought it would be better not to mention it since today is going to be our first war.

"So..." I turn around and I see Silver in a sleaveless red dress with orange flames at the bottom of the skirt. Her hair is in a side braid with a read ribbon weaved through it. I look at her and see a younger version of me.

"Perfect." I smile. She looks around nervous. Something tells me she is not used to attention, let alone wearing a dress. Effie comes in behind Silver.

"I did well for not being a stylist." She says examining her work.

"Okay, ready girls?" Haymitch says and walks out the door. We follow him out. We make our walk to the hovercraft. Silver trys to board the hovercraft and lifts her dress up. Effie comes quick and swats Silver's hands away.

"Not above the anlkle!" Effie tells her.

"You'll get used to it..." I tell Silver.

"Where are your heels?!" Effie scolds.

"Inside..." Silver answers innocently.

"Your room?!"

"Well you don't expect me to fight with heels on do you?!" They yell at each other. They start yelling at the same time making it hard ot understand either of them. Gale taps their sholders and they turn at him and scream, "What?!" He holds up a pair of red heels with a orange gem on them. Silver snaches it from him and boards the hovercraft, pulling her dress above her thieghs like I did on the train ride to the capitol, making me laugh. "She must have been around you too much, spying." Effie acusses me, which makes me laugh harder.

We pass over burned houses after burned trees.

"Why are we going to district 2?" I ask.

"We are going to attack their hideout." Gale answers with a smile.

"How do we know where that is..?" Everyone looks at me then at Silver who sinks down in her seat. "You know where it is?"

"How else would I know about their rebellion plan?" after that we ride quietly going over the plan, endlessly. Besides going over the plan, the ride is quiet until Haynitch can't stand it anymore and burts out screaming out, "Where is the alcohol?! Is there any alcohol in this flying saucer?!" Gale chased him to the backroom to the alcohol cabnet and faught him for the bottle again. Us girl turn around and watch for a few seconds then turn back to focus on the plans again for the 500th time.

Chapter 14
We get relesed by the lader in the outskirts of district 2. Hovercrafts come and it seem all were filled to the max because person after person comes down. Some I recognize from the past rebellion, others not really.

"How did you get all these people to come?" I ask Gale.
