Love of a Legacy: POW

I sat panting at the base of a large tree in the forests outside 6 or was it 7. I had lost track of how far I'd walked and how many districts I passed, my whole body ached from tiredness. I'd been walking for 2 weeks now; I'd taken a train to 3 and got off there, I knew they'd expect me to go home to 4 so I stayed as far away as possible.

I knew I needed to keep moving, they were still looking for me. I knew all the guys that were following me, there were 6 big, butch and brainless. Only a few people had been trusted with knowing I was alive, the Capitol was scared of inciting a rebellion, and I'd overheard a few things when I was on the train, it's funny how much people say when they think no one's listening. Since Katniss and Peeta ate those berries people have been rising up in an act of defiance all over the Capitol, people seemed to think that they did it purposely to show them up. And add on top of that my escaping they thought if everyone knew I was alive I'd become a hero and team up with Katniss to destroy the world. Which is totally what I'm going to do.

They currently see me as more of a threat than them because they have eyes on those two yet no one has any idea what happened to them. Plus all they did was eat some berries whilst I killed 12 people, hijacked a hovercraft, robbed them of all their medical supplies, convinced the whole world I'm dead and I did all that without sounding a single alarm. Yeah I'm that good.


I lay across Thresh's body as the claws surrounded us. They'd tried everything to get me to let him go, they couldn't do anything without damaging Thresh's body and anything that wouldn't couldn't pierce my body armour. So eventually they just decided to pick us up as the claw surrounded us I heard a cannon in the distance and I knew it was warning me of my impending death.

We were pulled into a hovercraft and laid on an examination table, out of the corner of my eye I saw a man in a lab coat with a large hypodermic needle heading towards me. When he was inches away from my face I lashed out and kicked him in the balls, he fell backwards and the needle went flying. I caught it in my hand as I kicked him again in the face, another man ran towards me and grabbed my arm I thrust my arm out and jabbed the needle into his neck, his eyes went huge before rolling back inside his head. They were going to do that to me, now I was pissed I was so going to get them. I leapt forward and pulled out my knife and plunged it in the stomach of the woman trying to stop the blood flow from her colleague. She fell over and I grabbed Thresh's axe from my pack and spun it round spending blood squirting from her neck causing her to collapse on the floor. I ripped my knife from her stomach and shoved it under the bleeding nose of the remaining scientist.
'Take this fucking thing out of my arm now or you'll end up like you're friend over there. Got it?'
His eyes flick to the blood-soaked blade in my hands before reaching for a small device on the desk behind him, I felt a sharp pain in my arm as the microchip was plucked from it.
'Bye bye' I grabbed his head and shoved it against the desk, the corner smashed against his temple leaving a huge dent and his body going limp.

I opened the door to the cock pit,
'Three people on this plane are dead, it's about to be four if you don't do exactly as I say.'


After an hour we arrived in the Capitol, the ride was bumpy because the pilot was so nervous with me holding a knife to his throat for the entire time. We landed in the hanger and the pilot wheeled Thresh out first whilst I followed, there was one guard outside a huge metal door. Before he could blink I'd slit his throat and stolen his gun, I held it up to the pilot.
'Get moving. NOW!' Behind the door were two more guards and 5 more scientists. I shot the guards in the face and watched them crumble to the floor. I turned to the pilot and smiled,
'Thanks for the help, you were great.' One shot and he was gone. 'You, you look about my size. Strip, I need your clothes.' Her eyes bug up wide and she backs into the corner whilst the others huddled behind a desk. 'Strip or I'll put a hole in that big ass brain of yours got it.' I pressed the gun against her forehead and she went cross-eyed trying to see it. Tears streamed down her face as she took off her pink blouse and black work pants. I grabbed the clothes from her and shot down the rest of the scientists.

I rifled through the cabinets and found a store of medicine, I emptied my pack and shoved it full of everything that I could get my hands on, I hit the jackpot when I found a large supply of my medicine, enough to last for a long time seeing as I had just gotten some from the arena. When my pack was full, I found a cupboard full of cleaning supplies and began to scrub; if I was going to blend I couldn't look like a wild thing. The supplies were mainly for cleaning lab equipment but I couldn't complain, when I looked half decent I pulled off my own clothes and changed into the scientists. I kept on the body armour thankful it blended with my skin so it was easy to hide.

I walked over to where Thresh lay in the middle of the room, still caked in dirt and his own blood.
'I'm so sorry I can't take you with me, but I'm going to get the people who did this to you. Who did this to us and I won't stop until I've killed every last one of them in the most painful way that is humanly possible.'
I planted a kiss on his forehead and blinked back the tears before running from the room into a large, empty hallway.

'Where the hell do I go now?' I crept along the hall and found my way to an exit that came out just outside the centre square of the Capitol, very wary that at any moment someone would discover the carnage I'd left inside I knew I needed to find a place to get cleaned up properly and change my hair seeing as not many people's hair was whit blonde and streaked with pink and blue. I shoved against the front door of the closest house and was surprised to find it open.
'Idiots think they're safe.' I rolled my eyes and shut the door behind me locking it so no one would be able to interrupt. It was empty and everything was covered in frills and was a sickly shade of pink, I knew no one would be home as a death in the games is a massive social event and everyone gets together to gossip. The bathroom was easy to find as it took up most of the house. It was tiled in pink; I rifled through the medicine cabinet and found hundreds of bottles of hair dye and even more makeup products. I passed over the atrocious greens and yellows, who would ever want their head to look like that. I found a bottle of black in the very back and decided that since it was the most normal colour it was the one I was going to use.

It felt so good to use a shower again but I didn't have time to enjoy it, I skipped all the fancy features and soaps and just stuck with regular soap and water, it took an hour but I was finally clean from head to toe. My hair tumbled around my shoulders now as dark as Thresh's once was and it made me tear up to think about him. I wrapped myself in a towel and raided the closet, the scientist's wardrobe wasn't the best for what I had in mind and I had to find something different. I pushed aside all the giant, colourful statement pieces and managed to find simple black pants and a black t-shirt that most capitol people wear under their clothes to stop them from itching. I kept my arena boots on because they were better than any shoes I would find in here, I found a large, green cloak in the back with a hood that covered me from head to toe and hid my pack easily and would help me to blend into the forest.

It took me a while to find the train station, even less time to discover that it was crawling with peacekeepers trying to keep me from escaping. There was a small stock train that was heading to be refilled and to send supplies to the lower districts. All products were processed in the Capitol before being sent on as they feared someone would send something illegal in the supplies. I shoved open the top of the closest crate and slipped inside, luckily it was full of grain making it easier to hide in but it reminded me of Thresh and the tears began to form in my eyes again. I pulled the lid over my head and waited until I felt the crate begin to move, I was lifted onto the train. I spent days in that crate, it took 2 days to get to District 2 than another 4 to get to 3, when the train pulled into the second station I slipped out of the crate and hit the ground running. There was a barbed wire fence around the perimeter, the part around the train station wasn't electrified I guess they didn't expect anyone to get out that way. I cut a hole in the bottom with my knife and ran into the forest hiding amongst the trees.


I curled up in a ball amongst the leaves and thought of home and of Finnick and how he was and what he was doing. He was the only person I knew could never figure out I was alive; with what I had planned I didn't think I would ever come back from it. He shouldn't get his hopes up just to see me die days later in an attempt to overthrow the Capitol. I just wish I could spare him his pain, him, Mags, Annie and Tony all of them; I just want them to forget about me and move on with their lives and be able to live in a world without this oppression. I was going to save my family or I was going to die trying.
