It has been a usual day in 13. I wake up, get my schedule stuck to my arm, ignore most of it and wander around, eat, sleep in my hiding spots. When I'm at lunch Gale and I find out that we are both heading to Command next so we walk on down together.
When we get there there's a sort of contraption up on a large screen that Coin and Beetee are looking at. I go over to look a bit closer at it Gale sees it and tells me how it would work. The trap is set up so that a set of bombs will go off then a period of time will allow for help to arrive and help the wounded. This is when there will be a gas, that is not lethal, this will mainly just scare a bunch of people into the bombs that go around the outer ring of it. There is also a bomb set in the middle of the area that will be triggered by a group of people on a hovercraft right above the affair.
When he ends the explanation of it I ask one of the dumbest questions "Have you seen this before?"
"Seen it before? Katniss I designed it!" he states with all too much pride in his voice.
"Why are you so proud of this killing machine? It is entirely unnecessary!" I say while my voice rises with every word.
" This will help us win the war!" he yells back at me.
"Isn't this a little overboard? We're already winning."
"For now and who knows how long it'll take to end this. We'll win much more quickly!"
"That seems to be crossing some sort of line. I guess there is no rule book for what might be unacceptable to do to another human being." I say fuming
"Sure there is. Beetee and I have been following the same rule book President Snow used when he hijacked Peeta" he spits back at me. That is the last straw. I am so done with him at least for now.
"Thanks for the reminder!" I spit at him filled with fury and sorrow. I use the anger to my advantage and storm out before I start to cry. I find one of my hiding spots that I know for a fact no one else knows about. I just curl up in a ball and cry.
Once my tears subside I wait a few more minutes before I go down to dinner. When I do get there I sit at my usual table. As usual Gale's there so I ignore him and most everyone else at the table while I scarf down my food then rush out.
I nearly ran to my compartment. As soon as I got there I threw myself down on my bed and started sobbing uncontrollably, for what reason I don't know, I have been overreacting to everything lately. Finally after several hours of crying I drift off into a nightmare filled sleep.
Should I continue or no? This is a bit of a spinoff of Mockingjay so all the characters are the same. I start changing it right about chapter 14 but Katniss does not ask to go to district 2.
