The train begins to slow down. A large lump begins to form in the pit of my stomach. My mind flashes back to the conversation I had with Snow. Convince ME. I have to put on the best performances to convince the districts that my love for Peeta is real. But how will I do that, now that Cinna is in love with me as well?

I look outside the window of the dining cart. Wheat fields spread for miles on either side of the tracks. As we come to a stop, I spot orchards and people working. District Eleven. Rue's home.

Peeta, Haymitch, Cinna, Portia and Effie come into the dining cart as the train stops completely.

"Are you ready?" Peeta asks, grasping my hand in his.

"No," I admit.

"Me either."

We all step off the train only to be greeted by Peacekeepers. They shove us roughly into the back of a military truck using the butt of their rifles. They shut the door quickly and the truck begins to move.

"Why I never!" Effie exclaims. "They had absolutely no right to handle us that way!"

The truck continues down a dirt road, I assume, because it is very bumpy. After twenty minutes, the truck stops. The doors open once again and different Peacekeepers grab us by our arms and haul us into the Justice Building. I see ivy growing up the buliding and the foundation crumbling. The Peacekeepers opened the doors and threw us all inside.

"You have no right to handle us this way!" Effie shrills. A Peacekeeper nudges her with the butt of his rifle roughly. She stumbles forward as we all make our way into the main hallway.

"Be out in five minutes," a Peacekeeper grunts to me and Peeta.

Portia and Cinna quickly guide us away. Cinna and I enter a different part of the building, a garden of some sort. He hands me a brown and red dress to symbolize the harvest. I slip it on. I feel Cinna's eyes burning into my back as I dress. He opens a bag and does my makeup quickly.

"Good luck out there," he whispers. He pecks my lips lightly and turns to go. I follow after him to meet up with Peeta.

"You look beautiful," Peeta says as I come to stand beside him.

"Thanks," I whisper.

"And now, the winners of the seventy-fourth annual Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark!" The doors to the Justice Building open and Peeta and I step forward in front of the microphones.

"Thank you, Effie," Peeta says brightly. He takes out the slip of paper we were given. A speech had been made for us to say. Peeta reads over it and crumples it. He stuffs it back into his pocket. He turns to Thresh's grandmother.

"Thresh was a great guy. He saved Katniss's life," he begins. "He did not deserve to die. No one did." Thresh's grandmother gave a slight smile.

I turn to Rue's family. Her siblings look just like her. I feel my eyes tearing up, but quickly blink it away.

"Rue was a very good friend of mine during the games. She reminded me of my sister, Prim. I told her I would win. For her. She did not die in vain."

"For all of the food District Twelve receives, I would like to donate some to District Eleven," Peeta says unexpectedly.

"What are you doing?" I hiss.

An old man steps forward. He holds three fingers on his left hand, kisses them, and holds them in the air. One by one, every citizen of District Eleven has their fingers in the air. Peacekeepers then grab us and haul us back into the Justice Building. Haymitch comes over to turn off our earpieces.

But before that could happen, gunfire sounded.

Sorry it isn't about KatnissxCinna. I'll try and make the next chapter more of that. I hope you enjoyed and read and review!
