Sounds like Poetry to me

"You're from the Capitol?" I growl. They both look to me, they were smiling but their expressions go somewhat blank.

"We're not going to hurt you. We knew who you were from the beginning of the games. That's when we decided to help you. Then you 'died' so we went to Katniss and Peeta. We teamed up. Then you came back alive, and you got caught. Peeta insisted that we go find you, and he did."

"Nah… Don't give me all the credit, Katniss brought it up…" He mumbles, quieting himself down at 'Katniss.'

"Oh, well thanks, but… Is Lobo really… dead?" I ask, eager. Limerick and Sonnet look down, before Sonnet finally answers me. It makes me angry how they pause before their answer.

"He is unfortunately… dead. He was put down immediately after you were caught." Had I caused Lobo's death by saying I would try to free him? Sonnet's words hit me like a thousand bricks. I am paralyzed. Lobo is my friend! I shouldn't have said anything! I sit in an awkward position, staring at the floor, fighting back tears. Keegan stoops beside me and puts his arm around me. I don't even look at him. I close my eyes to conceal any tears.

He had been my only true friend for many, many years. I thought he had been dead up until the reaping, but now I realize that I had missed him even more than I thought I did when I heard his name called. I wipe away a tear, and then I see that only Prim, Peeta, Keegan, and Effie remain. Katniss, her mom, Haymitch, Gale, Sonnet, and Limerick have all gone to the front of the ship.

I stand shakily and I glance at Keegan who wears a sad expression. Then I try to imagine what he's going through. Is it the same? Loosing the one person you can completely trust in the world and loosing a sister- a twin sister, who you've known and loved your entire life?

I take a deep breath and I look around. Prim gazes up at me and studies my wings. I smile a bit. I find it slightly amusing and a little comforting I can amaze this child of… twelve years? With my wings…. I sigh and shake Lobo out of my mind it won't help me to think about it.

"So where are we going?" I ask, moving forward, painfully.

"Thirteen," Peeta answers.

"Thirteen? As in the district? I thought that place was… ya know…" I shrug.

"It was, but it rebuilt underground."

I pause and my eyes go wide. "Uhn… Under… ground?" I stutter. I shake my head. Underground… The roof could cave in, but go further down and you're trapped in an airtight area. Death would come in a matter of seconds… Or! …Or… No easy escape routes… crowdedness… Just wait for the claustrophobia to set in.

"KITE!" I hear Peeta yell. I jump.

"What?" I was rocking in the fetal position.

"It will be ok, and we're here," Keegan nods toward the door in which the others are exiting. My immediate thought: How long did I space? Keegan stood now too and made his way to the door himself. I follow on his heels. When we exit, we are instantly ushered down some stairs. I follow warily, watching to the small of the natural light left close up as we progress downward. I shake my head and after a certain amount of time has passed we reach the top floor. The first thing I see when I look around are a large collection of guards, standing perfectly erect, yet ready for any sign of danger. When they seem to see me, they tense up and clutch their weapons close, simultaneously.

"There sure are a lot of… um guards here."

"Oh they're always here. Standing at their post, watching for Capitol intruders… and such," Katniss comments. Peeta looks at her as if she's wrong, like there are usually less than half the guards here and she knows it. Then a man strides in.

"Katniss! Peeta! Gale!" He says, a smirk on his face as he strides up to Katniss and Gale, who has been mostly silent. Limerick and Sonnet grin and wave.

"Hey Plutarch," Gale waves slightly before falling back to silence.

"I see you brought the avian experts and the avian hostage herself!" He says. It takes him a minute or two to realize what he said but it only takes Katniss 30 seconds to about strangle him, and me about a second before my mouth drops and I jump into a defensive stance. I leap back from them. Katniss remembers my presence and ten turns to face me, and tries to seem like I didn't hear Plutarch remark.

"Hostage?" I ask her. She shuts her eyes tight and sighs, angrily. I look at them. Sonnet and Limerick are cowering, Gale is expressionless, Peeta seems just as shocked as I am, Prim is frowning, Katniss' mom is shaking her head in shame, and Keegan… he is looking at his feet, out of pure guilt.

"Kite, this isn't what it seems."

"Of course it is! I should have been more cautious," I growl, to Katniss at first and then at myself. Already several guards are advancing towards me.

"No Kite really!" She says, fiercer than her first few brief comments.

"How stupid do you think I am?"

Katniss starts to reply, but I cut her off, "Don't answer that…What? Were you going to hold me for ransom until the Capitol called off the Games? Or this dictatorship? I'm not that valuable," I snarl the last fragment under my breath. "I may be that monster's little pet…. What were you going to do? Return me after you got what you wanted? Send me back to that place? If you didn't Snow would call off whatever agreement you made. If you did…" I shrug and make an 'Oh well' face, "HE WOULD STILL CALL IT OFF!" I shout, furious and a little hysterical.

"That was… part…" Katniss admits, grinding her teeth.

"Yes. I know. You're all smarter than that. There is something else your hiding from me, that you were planning this whole time. From Peeta's expression I know he didn't know about this so you tricked him too…" A guard puts his hand on my shoulder to try and spin me around, but my quick reflex is grab his hand and flip him over, partially trying to hit Katniss. She jumps out of the way and the guy lands with a thud on the ground.

This is the catalyst that brings on the whole wave of guards down on me. I fight most of them off, until I spin too late, just in time to feel a sharp jab in my side, and blurrily catch a glimpse of Limerick holding some sort of sedative. Then I drop like a mangled rock, if possible, to the floor.

I awake in the same position I was in when I last woke up. Bound to the table, under blinding white lights, except this time, I'm in District 13. I can excuse that people have a natural interest in me because of m wings, but taking my liberty away to study my wings, my structure, how I function, as these scientists and the Capitol has done, is inexcusable. It takes me about two minutes, just by listening to surrounding conversations and peering at encircling charts that they're performing several experiments.

It takes me a bit longer to learn the purpose however and as soon as the scientists learn that I'm awake and that my blood pressure isn't randomly rising they turn and watch me in curiosity. I shake my head slightly from a lingering headache and they flinch. Then my newest Hated Person is called in the room.

Katniss takes a seat next to my bed.

"What do you really want with me?" I growl in a hoarse whisper.

"I'm so sorry but it's for the good of the districts-"

"Just tell me why!" I snap.

"We're going to… Coin wants to clone you, try to make a duplicate you…" She frowns as she speaks. Then she is shocked by my answer.

"Sure. You do that!" I glower at her. "You'll love the results. How many do you plan on trying this out on? Cloning won't work. It always results in failure. Grafting bird DNA into a human. Disastrous. Constructing nerves, veins, bones, and skin, and attaching them to a human? They won't gain anything, just some extra weight, no abilities. How does loosing hundreds, possibly thousands sound?"

Katniss stares daggers at me. "We weren't going to test that many," she protests.

"No, I know," I say, speaking with an uncanny calmness about me. "The Capitol didn't either… or rather didn't plan on it, but they have people to spare there, a few thousand dead from an epidemic wouldn't harm such a large community, but what? That already exceeds the population here," I sass at her.

She opens her mouth but I continue, "Hmm… well the less of you there are the better it is for me," I fake a grin. Then I ponder… "What if… I were to suddenly go missing? What if I escaped? What would happen then? I assume you would face Snow's wrath about loosing me. I'll be on no one's side," I mumble.

Katniss just watches me and shakes her head. Then she speaks. "You won't get out of here. I've tried. I couldn't. I was trying to just get outside, not to leave, but I couldn't even do that thanks to my schedule." She shows me her wrist, which has a schedule stamped on it. "You couldn't even break out of those bonds. Ambitious?" She asks with a smirk.

Then to prove her wrong, I rip some of the bonds from where they're planted with one arm and then the other before I push myself up. They were strong, but not as strong as the Capitol's, they had had time to learn. Then I was free except for my ankles, which I jerked up. By this time scientists were searching the room for another sedative, but I stayed where I was, legs dangling off the side, smirking at Katniss.

She regards me with surprise at first

, but it slowly fades to a defeated, angry expression.

"You were saying?" I ask in a slightly harsher, and meaner tone. A scientist armed with a large sedative lunges forward, but with great agility I leap into a standing, defensive position on the bed where I had been, letting the scientist's darting hand jab the sedative through the gap between my legs.

I used my amazing flexibility to bend backwards and grab the scientist's wrist. I flip myself over and land awkwardly, but still on all my feet. I straighten up a bit before dragging the scientist with such force that when she collides with one of her co-workers, they both fall to the ground with an earsplitting crack. Instantly both of them cry out.

Katniss watches my next move and as I slowly rise to my full height, just barely missing the ceiling with the top of my head, everyone stays motionless and quiet, watching my every move, except for the two scientists rolling on the ground in pain from whatever they broke.

Katniss' eyes dart to something behind me. That automatically gives my next victim's place away. I swing a kick, square to his face, making him draw back. Now, the room is back in motion and I am easily able to take out the last two scientists. They had already seen what I did to their colleagues, and they displayed much cowardice.

Katniss glares at me and I keep serious but I raised an eyebrow at her. "Well?" I sneer. She watches me for a moment, unblinking and before she can speak or even make any action an alarm ran through the building. Katniss' eyes widen and she turns quickly around and pokes her head outside.

"What's happening?" She asks a passerby, grabbing his suit. "Is 13 under attack?"

"Yes it is. I was actually on my way to come and get you, the clonee, and the cloners," he steps inside and sees all the scientists moaning and on the floor and then he sees me. He shakes his head and urges Katniss forward before helping the scientists up.

While they all limp out, the guard person seizes both of my wrists and drags me along to their underground safety unit.
