Prologue:

I sat in my underground bunker, deep under the Capitol, reached by a secret door through the floor of the villa. It was cold, cement walls covered with maps of the districts. I plastered up photos of Katniss and Peeta by a large photo of District 13 with a mockingjay in the corner. The plan was slowly taking action, and people would be looking to the new victors, one specifically. Yes, in new footage of the Districts, I had seen at how they looked at her. I was hoping she could help me in my ultimate goal of taking down the Capitol.

I turned to the small TV on a small metal table in a corner of the room. The Victors Interview was just wrapping up. Then it happened...

President Snow flashed onto the Screen. " ATTENTION! All citizens of the Capitol are required to attend the Execution tomorrow. The Execution of EX-Head Gamemaker, SENECA CRANE" The screen went black.

A silent tear rolled down my face as I turned off the TV and ascended the stairs of the bunker. I opened an old, moth eaten door. A pale hand reached down and pulled me out.

" I don't have much time Plutarch, so let's get down to it. Seneca's as good as dead, and we all know your in line for the job, so this will be the year we take action." It was my only other partner in spying on the Capitol. We'd been together in school, and hated the Capitol we lived in.

I smiled, " Thanks Winnie."

Winnie Trinket smiled. She had on a blue wig, which helped her pull off the part of Capitol better than I could. In her wigs were microphones so she can hear everything going on. She smiled and handed me my new watch, with a mockingjay now glowing in it.

The next day, I was late getting up. I jumped out of my furry white slippers and got changed. A hard knock began rocking the door of my villa. " I'm coming Winnie!" I threw open the door and gasped.

An Avox with flowing Red hair stood their in tears. I recognized her from visiting Seneca. I hugged her, I knew what she wanted but I couldn't save him. Not now President Snow wants him dead. I realized she needed a new master. I kept a mean profile by having many Avoxs, but in reality I let them live freely in my large villa estate. " You can live here from now on." The girl nodded solemnly.

" We are going to be late Plutarch." Effie appeared behind the Avox. "They taking Seneca to the stadium NOW!"

I rushed to my sleek black sudan, which drove me and Winnie to the stadium, where she put on a fake, Capitol personality. She went to sit with her sister, an Escort. I burst into my row, about to take my usual seat next to Levi Crocket and an empty seat that used to be Gretel's when I heard President Snow's loud voice. " No. Plutarch, you sit next to me now!"

I slowly moved into a seat next to President Snow, who smiled at me. In front of us was a large wooden Gallows. A bulking brute of a man was shoving Seneca up onto it. He tied a tight noose around his head. Oh, Seneca, what have you done to yourself?

President Snow shrieked, " Any last words!"

Seneca smiled and shook his head. Then I about fell out of my seat when he did the odd hand sign from the Reaping. I couldn't hide my smile, he was a good guy after all.

When some other Capitol citizens did this back, President Snow's expression was petrified. Seneca laughed out loud.

The brute of a man pulled a lever and the floor slid out from the Ex-Head's feet. Then he was falling...falling...

Gone. His corpse swung back and forth like a pendulum. Seneca Crane was dead.

President Snow ordered the execution of the 12 others who did the symbol. That makes 13, ironic.

President turned to me, " Next week, your taking the workers to begin building."

That was it. I was the Head Gamemaker. All this deception and I had done it. But I wasn't going to be just any Gamemaker.

I, Plutarch Heavensby, was going to break the Hunger Games.
