After talking to the Mayor, I went to go find Peeta at Haymitch's house. They are sitting with there heads bent over the table.
"Hey, whats going on?" I ask as I walk through the door. They look up at me, taking their eyes away from their work.
"Don't you ever knock?" Haymitch snaps.
"Don't you ever bathe?" I shoot back. I probably shouldn't be mean to Haymitch, he, after all, did save my life, but he also was the one who got us into this mess.
He just grunts and Peeta starts talking.
"He said he might be able to find a way to leave. Chances are we'll have to sneak into the capitol and steal a hovercraft ourselves. We need a plan though." That's my cue to engage in the conversation.
"Yeah and I got one. We sneak onto a capitol train and steal one dressed as peacekeepers. Then when we get one, we head off to District 13." It sounds so easy, but we still need the details. They think this plan over for awhile, then Haymitch looks at me.
"I see where you're going with that, but we still need to find a way to contact the people in District 13. I think I might know how to so that they can send someone to meet us when we arrive. We also need to find a way to get past the Capitol guards. We need a lot of disguises because all of us will be recognizable." I ponder on his statement. What if this actually worked? We would all be free of the Capitol. Prim wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.
"We have to start as soon as posible. If we wait too long then we might lose our chance," I point out.
They nod and we get start planning some more.
I got the uniforms from Crays house and Haymitch found a way to radio 13. It really was true that they were underground. I wasn't as surprised though because I knew that if it wasn't true, all those people who left would have come back- I hope.
Peeta told all our families about our plan. My mom and Prim agreed right away that it was best we leave. Gale's mom, though, was a little hard to convince, but after a while she agreed. Like I said, Peeta's family didn't want to come. So it's just Haymitch, Peeta, my mom, Prim, the Hawthornes, and me. The Mayor told us that a capitol train was leaving tonight so that's when we should go. We all packed up our belongings and were on our way to the capitol. Haymitch, Peeta, and I were dressed as Peacekeepers so that we could steal the ship and then bring everyone else on it.
So far everyting was going according to the plan. We all loaded into the back of the train where cargo was stored. Before we know it, we will be arriving in the Capitol.
"How much longer?" Rory, Gale's brother, asks.
"Not much sweetie. We are almost there," Hazelle answers her son. I knew it would be a little while longer. We will be on the train for days. There isn't much space and it is really dusty and smelly.
This was going to be a long ride.
*Two Days Later*
Everyone awoke to the train slowing down. Some of us got up to look out the little window on the end of the train. There it was, the city filled with tall buildings and scary looking people. It was a beautiful city though. It was huge compared to the small districts we live in, a lot nicer too.
We were looking at the Capitol of Panem.
Sorry, that was a really wimpy and stupid chapter. I will make the next one better because if I added when they steal the hovercraft to this chapter, it would be too long. I might not be able to write for awhile because I have a huge project for school due soon. Sorry about how short this chapter was. Please read the next one. REVIEW!
