Chapter 5

Last Time:

"Tributes of the 76th Annual Hunger Games. I, Plutarch Heavensbee have an important announcement." They hear Heavensbee's voice, "We have four extra tributes in the arena. They came in before and after the bloodbath yesterday. These are the people who were brought in."

They look up to see a picture of Rue.

"Rue from District 11."

Prim's picture is shown.

"Prim Everdeen from District 13."

Katniss' picture comes up next.

"Katniss Everdeen from District 13."

Finally Alex's picture.

"Alex Russo from District 13."

Alex's picture fades away.

"Now, President Snow wanted me to inform you, that yes you may kill them. They are fair game. Because they were brought into the Games, you tributes may kill them. I know it is unfair that they are brought into the Games and know how to kill, but that doesn't mean anything. Now let the Games resume."

Alex shrugs her shoulders.

"Let's go hunt for food." Alex leads them back into the forest and they begin to hunt for their food.

Now:

"Is it odd that Heavensbee announced that we are in the arena?" Prim asks Rue.

"No. It's obvious that Snow wants us dead." Rue answers, "More me, Kat and Alex than anyone else."

"Why you three more?"

"Because Kat, Alex and I survived the first year when there should have only been one winner. Then in our second year Mags, Haymitch, Kat, Alex and I survived when only one should have." Rue explains, "Now this year will be unknown until it is over. But my prediction is that you, Kat, Alex, Ramona, Max and I will win when only one is supposed to."

"Guys, I have a plan." Alex cuts in walking over to them. The group are sitting around a fire in the middle of the forest. Alex is carrying lizards that she just hunted and killed.

"What?" Katniss asks walking over carrying their filled water bottles.

"Well..." Alex leans over after sitting down and begins to cook their dinner, "Since I'm a full wizard and have my full powers, what about I flash Max and Ramona out of the arena after duplicating them? That way, they are at home safely and we can kill their duplicates to pretend they are dead and it's only the four of us." Alex whispers low enough so no one watching can hear her, "I can do the same for Prim. I know the three of us will win this because we've done it. But we will keep their duplicates and let the other tributes kill them so no one will suspect anything."

Ramona, Max and Prim looks at Alex in surprise.

"You got your full powers?" Ramona whispers.

"Yup." Alex smirks.

"Do it." Rue whispers, "You four do it, send them home and come back."

Alex nods and stands up. Prim, Max and Ramona follows Alex into the forest and Alex leads them to the only place that has no cameras... the cave. The same cave Alex got the lizards.

"In here." Alex whispers. They climb into the cave and Alex makes duplicates of them, "Talk."

The Ramona duplicate begins to talk like there is no problem.

"I'm getting better at that spell." Alex whispers with a smile, "Now to flash you home." The real Ramona, Max and Prim hug Alex tightly just before Alex flashes them home.

Alex leads the duplicates back to the campsite, happy she doesn't have to use her wand. Her finger magic doesn't have to be only elements anymore, any spell can work.

~K&A~

At the house, Ramona, Max and Prim look to discover they are in the living room of the Russo house.

"Thank god you three are ok." Theresa whispers hugging them tightly, "Did Alex flash you out?"

"Ya. And she made duplicates and will let them get killed." Prim answers as Ramona cries in Theresa's arms and Max cries in Jerry's.

"Alex thought on her feet." Jerry concludes.

"How did Alex do that? She's doesn't have her full powers... does she?" Justin asks cutting in.

"She got her full powers. Crumbs stopped by and gave them to her." Theresa explains as Justin pulls Prim into a hug then Tara hugs Prim tightly.

"Will Alex be ok?" Tara asks.

"Oh ya. She knows her spells and I taught her healing magic a few years ago." Jerry reassures, "Plus she knows how to hunt."

"Good." Tara whispers, "But she hasn't been trained..."

"She knows what she's doing. She will be perfectly fine. She's a wizard, she's a hunter and she never misses with her bow and arrows."

"Ok."

~A&K~

At District 12, 23 year old Gale Hawthorne is talking to Snow.

"Mr. Hawthorne, I have an offer that I would like you to take into consideration." Snow tells Gale.

"What is it sir?" Gale asks politely.

"I would like you to come of the Capitol and build something to get things in order."

Gale bites his bottom lip.

"Plus your family will come and you and your family will never come back here to District 12. All of you will stay at the Capitol and will never have to leave."

Gale smiles and nods.

"I accept."

"Good." Snow smiles at Gale, "Let's pack your things and we can leave right now."

"Thank you sir."

~K&A~

At the Capitol, Cinna, Boggs and Coin are sitting at their living room table planning how to get Alex, Rue and Katniss out along with Prim, Ramona and Max.

"How can we get them out if Snow has every hovercraft under lockdown?" Cinna asks, "He knows for a fact we will try to get them out."

"We have to do something that is unexpected." Coin whispers. The door of their floor opens and they turn to the door to see Snow and Crumbs.

"May we talk Coin?" Snow asks kindly.

"I'm not falling for your tricks again Snow. You killed my husband. You are trying to kill two 17 year olds and a 21 year old. To top it off, you tricked the Russo family into coming here when they were at their most vulnerable." Coin snaps narrowing her eyes.

"I just want to talk to you Coin. Only you, me and Crumbs." Snow fakes a sympathetic look and Coin sees right through it.

"Whatever you want to say to me you can say it in front of Boggs and Cinna."

"Fine." Snow shrugs his shoulders, "Don't bother trying to figure out a way to save Alex, Katniss, Rue, Ramona, Max and Prim, they are going to be dead by the time you do."

And without another word Snow and Crumbs walks out before anyone could say or process the information.
