Welcome to stay alive guys! this is a sequel to Stay strong, so if you haven't read that, you might want to because i doubt you will fully understand this story... Suzanne Collins is amazing and i have to give all the rights to her apart from the characters i created. Also the song in this chapter is 'Safe and Sound' by Taylor Swift and the Civil wars. :D... enjoy!

The candles softly lit up the large hall. The faint flitters of flames created distorted shadows from the bodies that silently filled the hall. On either side stood friends, family, waiting to pay their respects and between the two crowds lay an aisle leading to the front where Katniss stood, Peeta and her mum on either side. The soft tune of a guitar herded everyone's attention to the front as Leevy stood on a side stage, the guitar in hand and a microphone on a stand in front. Her fingertips brushed the strings lightly as she played which chord to perfection, her voice singing in as sweet tone a song Katniss requested.

"I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonightJust close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound"

The doors at the back of the hall opened as two guards stood in front of them to keep the doors ajar. As Leevy went into the second verse the four boys closest to Prim entered, each carrying a corner of the wooden cot, they created to carry Prim's body, on their shoulders. Logan and Gale at the front and Chad and Ark at the back, all of them were taking steps to match the soft tune.

"Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's goneJust close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound"

They moved up the aisle, towards the front where Katniss and Mrs Everdeen stood, they had tears in their eyes. Peeta had an arm around both their shoulders. The people too felt pain, not only for the loss of Prim, but also for everyone other child that has died due to Snow's cruel and twisted mind.

As Leevy went into the last part of the song, the boys had arrived at front, their bodies shaking from the weight but also the pain.

"Just close your eyes...
You'll be alright...
Come morning light...
You and I'll be safe and sound..."

The cot had finished its journey to the front stage and was gingerly lowered. At this moment Finn came onto the stage, her small hands carrying a basket of red roses. Finn too had tears in her eyes as she offered the basket to her best friend's sister. Katniss took the flowers as she hugged Finn with one arm and kissed her on the forehead.

Mrs. Everdeen, Peeta, Katniss, Gale, Logan, Ark and Chad took a flower each before giving the basket back to Finn. One by one, they stepped forward, placing their rose on Prim's petite frame. Her skin seemed to glow even in death and her lips carrying a faint smile. After the last of them made their personal mark, Finn stepped up with the remaining roses in her hands and she placed them around Prim's head, like the halo she knew her best friend had.

Leevy strummed the last chord and let its soft sound resonate through the hall. Gale went and collected the microphone and handed it to Peeta.

"Dear friends... we would like to thank you for coming... and giving us your time and respects... Your well wishes and blessings... are appreciated by all of us." Gale then came forward and got handed the microphone.

"We really want to say how grateful we are for your presence here, for the funeral of our sister, daughter and friend. If she saw this she would've have been so happy and thankful." He then looked up towards the roof that couldn't actually be seen in the darkness.

"Prim, we love you. We miss you so much. And I know you would want us to be happy and we are because you escaped this cruel world! Made by sick minded humans. No in fact they're not humans! They're monsters!-" Gale now was shaking with angry and his handsome face was red. Katniss pushed through everyone and ran to him.

"No Katniss, I haven't finished yet! I haven't finished expressing my hatred. I haven't finished fighting either! I'm going to break that man, make him crumble to his knees and make him beg for his death!

All those children who died, like Prim did, deserve vengeance for their deaths. Their murderer deserves to die... And not just die a quick death but a slow, painful, torturous and agonising death. So that he feels the pain that those children felt and not just that, but the pain that their family and friends felt!" Gale now was in tears. His face a brighter red than before and tears rolling down his cheeks. As Katniss touched his forearm, he flinched away. He turned to look into her eyes.

"I'm sorry." He whispered before dropping the microphone and running off stage, past the whole crowd and through the doors at the back.

The crowd took this as a sign to leave and slowly dispersed through the doors. Expect for one lady. A raven haired and greyed eyed lady. She slowly walked towards her son on the stage. Mrs. Xavier looked into her son's eyes as he made his way off the stage and towards her. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Thanks, to Katniss who made sure she too was taken back to district 13. Happiness, for now she could see her son freely. Sadness for the young girl that died. And bitterness towards Snow for she knew her son loved the girl. He may have not said it, but she could tell; she was his mother after all.

"Mum." Logan said as he hugged his only family, relishing the fact he had a mother. She pulled away from him before pointing to the door, then herself and finally creating a gesture to match the roof of a house.

"Okay, I'll join you afterwards. I need to stay and help." Mrs. Xavier nodded before leaving her son.

"Logan could you come here please?"

"Sure." He ran over to Peeta, a person that not long ago was his mentor in the hunger games, who was standing by Coin. The lady gave Logan the shivers, her neat grey hair, her forever expressionless face and her monotone voice. Something about her told Logan that she would do anything to get what she wanted.

"Logan, Coin would like you to join us in the conference room tonight at 6, so your schedule is cancelled after 6-" Peeta said before being interrupted.

"But before 6 is still the same." Coin chipped in.

"It's really important and we all will be there." Peeta said before he could be interrupted.

"Okay, I'll be there."


Logan said bye to his mum and left the room they shared. He walked up the corridor to the many elevators that stood side by side. Floor 1 was at the top and the Floor 42 was at the bottom.

Logan waited for an elevator to arrive at floor 23 before stepping into the elevator and pressing the circle button that had the number '4' engraved. This was the first time Logan had ever been to the conference room, but Katniss, Peeta and Gale had been several time. He wasn't sure he wanted to be there. Caught in his thoughts, about what it would be like, he didn't realise when he arrived on floor 4 and the doors opened. It was the deep and manly voice of a guard that brought him back to reality.

"Logan Xavier. The conference room is this way." The guard pointed to the every left corridor.

"My name is Boggs by the way, I was asked to escort you to the room." The rest of the way to the conference room went in silence. Logan couldn't figure out whether he liked Boggs or not.

Inside the room Coin stood at the far end while, her people sat at a table and Katniss, Gale and Peeta were standing up with a bunch of people that wore the same uniform as Boggs.

"Ah, Mr. Xavier. Come join us." I avoided Coin's gaze as I walked and stood next to Gale and Coin.

"Okay well as you know a rebellion is coming our way and we plan to make this the last attempt. We have plans for the rebellion but we need a face... a person or a group of people that would stir up the districts to fight." Coin stopped talking and looked straight at the people from District 12, one of them being 'the girl on fire'.

"I was hoping that would be you Miss. Everdeen and you Mr. Xavier."

"I'm not sure..." Was all Katniss could manage while Logan was speechless. They weren't exactly the most motivational people, or the most encouraging with looks and words.

"Well take some time to think about it. Also the capitol prisoners are on their way to becoming an avox. If I'm correct they just left their cells."

"What capitol prisoners? I wasn't aware we took prisoners?" Katniss said. She had been partially in charge as to who would be taken back to 13.

"Your old stylist and his assistants and your old stylist Mr. Xavier."

"What! Cinna! No you can't! I'm going to stop it!" Katniss yelled as she pushed past people to get to the door.

"You can't, it's on floor 48, you would need a key like this-" Coin held up a key, her thin lips showing a ghost of a smile"- to get there. If you haven't noticed there's only down to floor 42 in the elevators." Katniss growled, obviously frustrated at the woman. Logan looked at the Coin next to him and in a split second decided what to do.

"Well thanks for the key then." Logan shouted as he snatched the key from her hand and ran away, down the corridor with Katniss and Gale in pursuit.

He ran into an elevator, which luckily was already there, and pushed the key into a slot that he hadn't noticed before. Suddenly another 10 buttons appeared as Katniss and Gale ran into the elevator and pushed the 'close door' button. Logan pressed the floor 48 button.

The way down was surprisingly quick and as soon as the doors opened, they scrambled out the elevator and ran down the corridor. They could hear voices begging and knew straightaway where the room was. It was at the end of the corridor, the only problem was, there were two guards in the way.

With one quick look at each other they formulated a plan which they all understood.

"What are you three doing he-" The guard got cut off as Gale kicked his stomach and pinned his hands behind his back. Logan went for a similar method as Katniss ran past the, injured and captive, guards and towards the door at the end. But it was locked. She shook the handle repeatedly and tried kicking the door down. She wasn't strong enough. Logan or Gale probably would have managed but they had their hands full. At that moment another pair of pounding footsteps could be heard. Boggs came running around the corner and was running towards Katniss. Katniss now knew it was over, she wouldn't be able to help her friends...

"Move!" Cried Boggs and Katniss was so startled that she couldn't think of anything else to do but oblige.

What happened next was a surprise. Boggs, with a grunt, kicked down the door. Inside were Cinna, Portia and the assistants, all chained down. None of them seemed to be hurt.

It was at this moment Logan decided he liked Boggs.

So what do you think? i personally dislike Coin so i made her even worse than the books.. and i personally love Boggs, so he's going to be more involved! Also Cinna is one of the favourite characters alongside Finnick therefore both of them will live.

Review to let me know what you think :)
