Annabeth's POV
"So..we need your help," I finished.
Abi and I were explaining everything to my 'adoptive family', Finnick, Gale, and a few of the other former Victors and\or rebels.
"But even though we know Katniss escaped, we don't know where to?" The Victor of the 95th Games, Tanaka Teri asked.
"Exactly," I responded.
"And we should help...why?" Devan Poacher asked.
"You know what Devan?" I hissed. "You may be a Victor, you may be from District 1, but that does NOT mean you can be a complete jerk when you told Abi you would help!"
"This is what Richmond wanted you to see me as?" Percy asked.
"Yes," I mumbled.
"So glad that didn't work."
"Agreed."
"I like whispering too!" Abi whispered, creeping up behind us.
Percy and I started laughing.
"Abi, for a ghost, you have a pretty good sense of humor!" I told her.
"Well," Abi began. "It's still me. I'm just dead."
"Anyways," I continued. "Any ideas on how?"
"I've got it!" Tanaka screamed, then covered her mouth as we laughed. "I've got it," she whispered.
It only made us laugh harder, and it took a few minutes for everyone to calm down.
"What if," Tanaka began. "Something happened in the past that caused Panem to come to be?"
"Good idea," I mused. "But lets call that plan B."
"She may just be onto something though," Gale told us. "If we can figure out what chain of events caused the nuclear war-we can stop it. I vote for plan A."
"But that should be our last resort," Erica Denver argued. "Where are we going to get a time machine? It would take weeks to build anyways. I vote for plan B!"
While Erica and Gale were argueing, I was balancing the pros and cons in my head.
"STOP!" Abi screamed. Everyone turned her way, wondering how a ghost could scream so loud. "We'll have a vote. Who votes for time machine plan B?"
Half of the group raised their hand.
"Plan A?"
The other half, which included Percy and I, raised our hands. Then Abi shot her hand in the air.
"Plan A wins," Abi announced.
"But like Erica said, where are we going to get a time machine?" Finnick asked.
"Dang it!" I hollered. "Why can't Leo be here! Wait...Leo!"
"What? He's long dead," Percy reminded me.
"But," I replied. "His family isn't. Pack your bags, we're going to District 6!"
"Actually," Abi began. "Gloriosa Valdez moved to 8 with Jack after the games."
"Pack your bags, we're going to District 8!"
