Hello everybody, this is the sequel to my other fan fic Choices. I hope you enjoy this.

1. Just another day
Katniss POV
Things are running normally in District 13. Just like they always do. On occasion we watch somethings that come from the Capitol. Mainly just newcasts that tell all of the Districts just how dead Peeta and I will be if they ever get us. Sometimes they show footage of people who have rebelled against the Capitol, the things that they've done to them.
I look at the schedule printed on my arm. District 13 prints a schedule on to everybodies arm. The ink is permanent until the end of the day. I have breakfast first, and then command. I walk down to eat. I sit with Gale, Finnick, Annie, and Peeta. Peeta has barely touched his food. He seems so lifeless these days. I can't imagine how he feels. But I know it must be horrible. He loved her and she's dead. Gone.
"What do you guys have next?" I ask, trying to make conversation.
"Command." they all say at once.
"Same." I say.
When we finish eating we head down to command.
"There's an interview with Caesar Flickerman coming on." President Coin says. We turn to face the TV. The Capitol seal flashes onto the screen. The anthem plays in the background. The screen shows Caesar Flickerman, but it hasn't shown who he's interviewing yet. It cuts to the crowd to show how many Capitol citizens are watching. It goes back to Caesar.
"Hello everyone!" He says. The crowd cheers. Then, the camera shows who he's interviewing. It's Willow.
"But she's dead." I say, confused. I look at Peeta to see his reaction. He's staring intently at the TV
"So, Willow, everybody thought you were dead." Caesar says
"One cannon fired in the arena. Not two. Shimmer is dead. Not me." Willow replies. So Willow's not dead.
"Is there anything you want to say to the rebels? To Katniss, or Peeta?" he asks her.
"Yes." Willow says uneasily. "There is."
Peeta POV
Willow looks directly into the camera.
"I was supposed to call for a cease-fire. They told me to call for a cease-fire." she takes a deep breath, "Like that's going to happen. Go on Districts! Rebel! Kick the Capitol's multicoloured as–" Peacekeepers come and grab her. They start dragging her off the screen. "They may hurt me, but you can't let that stop you." she says. She steps on one of the peacekeepers feet and bites the arm of the other peacekeeper. They both let go of her for a minute. But that's enough time for her to say one more thing. "Katniss, Peeta, all of you rebels. You can beat them! You can destroy–" she doesn't get to finish her sentence. The peacekeepers grab her again and drag her away. "Love you Peeta." she says right before they drag her off-screen.
"She's alive." I whisper.
"So it would seem." Coin says. "And she's a rebel. She just proved that to all of Panem. She's on our side."
"She's in the Capitol. They're going to torture her." I say.
"Most likely." Coin replies. Sometimes, I really want to slap her. "But as she said, we can't let that stop us." I walk out of the room. I don't want to hear anything Coin says. She obviously doesn't know what love is.
"Peeta! Wait!" Katniss calls from behind me. She runs up to me. "I know that this is a shock, that she's alive. But, that means there's a chance we could get her back." I stop walking. I look her in the eyes.
"But will we be too late?" I ask her. I walk away again. This time, she doesn't follow me.
I hope you liked it. More chapters coming soon. Please review :)
