Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games because if I did Jay would exist!
'WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE LEAVING?!'
'Please clam down Jay. HEY!' Gale dodged as I chucked a pillow at his face. 'It's not my fault Beetee wants me to go to 2 with him, you're not the only one who wants to get out of here.'
'You mean you want to go see Katniss; you're long, lost, unrequited love. Why do I have to stay here by myself?' I sighed and plopped down on the bed, he sank down next to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
'You have Finnick, Annie and Peeta, you're hardly alone. Besides I'll be doing boring science stuff. And anyways, you said you didn't want to be serious.'
'Doesn't mean I want you flitting around with girl who hates me and besides you like boring science stuff, it's like your two favourite things combined.' He wrapped his arms around me as I pouted.
'I'll be back soon. If you try to get along with Coin I'm sure she'll let you come along next time.'
'Fine leave me, see if I care.' He sighed before kissing me on the forehead and walking to the door.
'Hey, how are we feeling today?' I sat down on the bed next to Peeta
'My head hurts.' He dropped his head on my shoulder and made a pouty face. I laughed and stroked his hair.
'It'll help you get better, it'll stop soon don't worry.'
'I don't want to do it anymore, it scares me. I never know what's real anymore.'
'This is what's real, what they're telling you now. I know because I lived it and you did too, you just have to remember.' I continued to stroke his hair when Plutarch ran in, I flew to my feet and pushed Peeta behind me.
'Do you need something?'
'I need to talk to you, alone.'
'Does it look like I'm going anywhere with you?' I stepped forward and glared at him.
'And you wonder why Coin doesn't trust you.' He had me there so I glared at him and walked out of the room, Peeta gave me a reassuring look as I stalked away.
'What?' I whirled around to face him.
'Katniss was shot.'
'Excuse me?'
'She was shot today in two, they're flying her in right now.'
'How's Gale.' I blurted out before I could stop myself, he raised his eyebrows at me but continued talking.
'He's fine, but Coin wants to reassess your situation.'
'What do you mean?'
'She was shot because she tried to negotiate with him, she tried to reason with him. When you were out there you didn't hesitate, you killed on sight. We need that right now, in Coin's opinion is that wars are won by force not negotiation with the enemy.'
'So she wants me now because I'm a killer, a month ago that was a bad thing. You people are hopeless, I won't be your puppet.' I walked off leaving him behind me, he called after me.
'I thought you wanted revenge for those who died, your parents, Thresh, Toby Mags...' I ran forwards and pushed him down, tears forming in my eyes.
'You have no right to talk about them, you're one of them. If I had my way your head would be on a spike. Tell Coin I'll do whatever she wants but she has to promise that my family will be safe; if anything happens to them I will kill you. Understand?'
'So you've agreed to help us.' I stood in front of Coin's desk glaring at her and she looked me up and down.
'You didn't really give me a choice now did you? You're little star gets one little injury so you decide to send someone into the field that you don't give a damn about losing.'
'We chose you because you will do anything to succeed, you don't bargain, you're precisely what we need.'
'A killing machine?' She folded her hands on the table and smiled.
'Exactly.'
So things move really fast in this chapter mainly because I didn't really have much for her to do when she's in 13 so it would be really boring so I had to fastforward a little bit till when she's allowed to leave. Please review and favourite.
