Chapter 10: Surgery
Katniss, Peeta, and I sneak downstairs at midnight to meet Doctor Hephaestus. When we find him, he gives them medicine to knock them out, and the surgery begins.
"Can I help with anything?" I ask.
"Yes, make sure the medicine is being regulated." I go over to the machine that's emitting the medicine that's keeping my friends asleep. I will stay here to make sure nothing goes wrong.
"I'm giving them their actual tongues back," the doctor says.
"Doctor, what do you think of the Rebellion?"
"Can I be honest with you?" I nod. "I was in full support of it. Obviously, you are, too. But riddle me this: you're the president's granddaughter, the one person that shouldn't be a Rebel. So why are you?"
"Think of it this way," I say. "My grandfather is a tyrant. That's understood. Should I stay loyal to my grandfather, condoning tyrannical behavior, or should I betray him, and help justice reign? I suppose I have to go with the lesser of two evils."
"You're wise beyond your years, Athena. You remind me of your father. We grew up together, you know. We even had the same name. There, the surgery is done. They should wake up soon."
They wake in about ten minutes. I thank Hephaestus and Katniss, Peeta, and I sneak back to my room.
"Athena," Katniss says for the first time. "How can we keep this from your grandfather?"
"Just keep your mouth shut. Literally," I reply.
