Show them everything
The first thought in my mind the next morning was to tell Gale about my plan to get the war moving along. I reached blindly for the baby sleeping in her basinet next to me. I'm sure she must be hungry by now I'm so proud of her she has not made a peep since I fed her at midnight. She must be curled up in the corner because I can feel her warm little body.
I sit up and reach into the basinet the gasp and rub my eyes; she is not in there. I am alarmed maybe Gale took her into the hall so I could get some more sleep he has never done that before but newborns don't just fly off so that must be what happened. I go to Gale's room and knock but no answer finally I open the door only to find he is not there.
On my way back to my room I run into Haymitch. Apparently the rebels kidnapped several people this morning Gale being one of them. I could not understand why they would kidnap Gale since he is already on their side but I know he can take care of himself I'm most worried about where my baby could be.
Then is dawns on me that she has been kidnapped as well; My baby girl who I promised to protect with my last breath was taken from my side while I was sleeping. Haymitch holds me while I sob "What kind of mother does not wake up when someone steals her baby? I am such a terrible mom Haymitch Peeta is going to be so angry."
Haymitch tells me that before I can get my baby back I need to get the capitols stronghold broken only then will the rebels release my daughter and best friend. He explains the plan to me it is going to be extremely dangerous but what do I have to lose the capital can't hurt Prim she is dead they can't hurt my baby she has been stolen, and Peeta can't be in any more danger than he is already in. I don't care about my life any more so my attention can now be focused entirely focused on the task I must complete: Killing President Snow…
After a very convincing show of terror and hysteria on my part over the baby going missing the capitol decides to move Haymitch and I to the presidents mansion where we will be safe. The fact that the rebels wanted nothing to do with me or Haymitch seems to prove to them that we have no idea what the rebels plans are.
In the mansion Haymitch has connections with a few peacekeepers that have sided with the rebels but keep their jobs in order to get inside information. They manage to get me a bow and some arrows which I hide in my room waiting for the perfect time. The capital is hosting a promo to counteract the anti-capital broadcasts coming daily from the arena. The game makers canceled the live showing of the games soon after Prim's death but Peeta had somehow gotten some small cameras in the arena and the rebels had hacked the capitals system so they could not only broadcast but they could also flip on different television screens to force the residents to watch their promos.
All was in reediness and when Snow took the platform to address the nation I was in place on a balcony directly across from him. I took a deep breath I was going to enjoy this moment to its fullest! Finally I brought the string on the bow in line with my ear, set my sights and let the arrow fly. I had just one shot before someone discovered what I was doing sure enough my arrow flew straight and hit home dealing a fatal blow to the President I threw the bow and arrows to the ground and that was Haymitch's signal to throw the power plunging the capital into darkness.
This teamwork on his part gave me time to change and be seen mingling in the confused crown below so that nobody would ever be able to tell that I was the assassin.
In the hours after the assentation the capital is in complete chaos. There are riots in the streets and every peacekeeper in Panem is called in to control the crowds. The head Game maker Marshal Jamison is next in line for the presidency but nobody is accepting his authority.
Out of desperation he sends out the last of his bombers and bombs districts 4, 7 and 12 I don't think they have a particular reason for picking those Jamison is just desperate to get the rebellion under control.
Haymitch tells me the rebels are taking advantage of the chaos and making their way toward the capital once they make it and rescue the tributes in the arena the credibility of the capitol will be broken. We are so close I can tell thank goodness I have Haymitch to vouch for the fact that I killed Snow so that the rebels will not have me executed for being the capitals mockinjay.
As a last act of desperation President Jamison decided to bomb the arena. The tributes had somehow survived nearly a month with every attack the capital had sent at them. Haymitch held me while I sobbed watching the bombs rain down on the arena. Seeing that arena go up in smoke I realized everything I loved was now gone. My sister had been killed, my mother was in one of her depressions, my best friend and baby were missing, and now my husband had been killed just as it seemed we were close to winning this war.
The world was spinning round as I screamed for the loss of the ones I loved. Nobody could have survived that bombing the arena was nothing but rubble with bodies scattered all over. Haymitch called a nurse and soon I was covered in the merciful blackness of sedation.
