I can feel an unsettling cloud moving over me as Katniss and I walk down the long sleek corridor. There hurting Cato. The words can't stop playing in my head. "What if Snow is angry the cease fire hadn't worked?" I ask under my breath. Gale, who was walking a few feet under us now walks forward. "They'll at least keep him alive, he's the only thing they have against us." He speaks. I roll my eyes agitated. "You don't know Snow, or Cato." I seethe. "He doesn't want me happy." I refer to Snow. "I don't think most people do." I continue. Katniss gives Gale one look that says, just let her get her feelings out. I holds back as the duo walk into the meeting room. More faces crowd the room than I'm used to. I disappear into a small corner beside one of the rows of the large computers that everyone has found themselves occupied with starring at. I feel out of place here, like i don't belong in this highly classified military center, which i don't. Two years ago i was a sweet fifteen year old girl, turned rotten by the hunger of winning the games, I never thought that winning them would put me where i stand now. I search the Crowd for Coin, finding her in the small office overhead. My eyes meet her cold ones. Why had she called me her. She walks out onto the Balcony, con-mincing another mocking jay meeting. We are all seated for another lecture. Coin walks towards the table a small grin on her face. "Last night a plan was proposed to me." She smiles. "A plan to get our remaining victors here, under the safety of a nurturing environment, we've fooled the capitol a thousand times too much, but sneaking into their prison and making their highly technical security crumble would just be fabulous." She claps her hands together. I smile leaning in. "I volunteer to go into the force." I raise my hand before she can continue. for most of these people, this is the first time they'd heard my voice. I don't stop, my hand raised and eyes squinted. Katniss stands. up. "I also volunteer to go into the force." She says.
Coin smiles. "Absolutely not!" She claps her hands onto the wooden table. I sit back down. "Coin, I have to do something, i cant just sit in my own nightmares soaking up fear each time i walk out in public. Katniss and i were supposed to be symbols, mocking jays are always there to carry on, they need something to do, something to mock, a nest to make, or else their existence is irrelevant." I speak clearly agitated. Katniss hasn't let up her scowl. "I'm fighting for all of the ones that died for this, I have to go with my sister." She says lifting her chin. I look over to Coin. "You two will be put on night watch to keep out nightmares, each morning in replace of breakfast i will allow you an hour of training down in the weaponry room with Mr. Latieer, if you have made progress, and i think you will be able to stand on your own, we will see." She clears her throat. "Subject regarded for now." She adds. Katniss smiles pleased. "I'd also like to propose another deal." She blinks. Coin clenches her teeth. "You are riding on thin ice soldier Everdeen." She says. Katniss smiles pleased. "Then i must be a pretty bad ass figure skater huh?" She jokes, It seems Gale, Peeta and I are the only ones who find this funny, after catching a few hard glares we cease in our laughing. "I'd like to bring in more fresh meat for the district, I'd like a hour a day to hunt." She speaks in a confidant voice. Coin sighs. "That doesn't seem possible." She says. Gale clears his throat. "I'll go with her." He says. Coin shakes her head. "You are not trusted enough, you and my men will take three o'clock watch, while Clove and soldier Everdeen are out hunting, at four o'clock you all will report back underground, the gates to the districts will close and whoever is left out will not be let back in until the next three o'clock watch. I nod. "Fair enough." I say leaning back. But all i could think of was having Cato come back, she'd agreed into making me happy. Cato would be back and i would have him again. I press my hands to my face for the rest of the meeting. I can only let happy thoughts in now, it was the only thing that would Keep me from insanity. Cato, your coming home.
