Chapter 11- The announcement
The next morning Katniss woke up to hear someone knocking on the door. "WHAT?" She yelled at the door. "It's me, Mystique." Said Mystique. "Oh, Coming!" Katniss waved her hand and her bed was made and she clicked her fingers and she was wearing black ripped jeans and a white t-shirt. She flung open the door and made it bang it against the door. "Hey." Said Katniss. "Well, long time no see." Said Mystique coldly. "Ok, what was that about?" asked Katniss. "Well, I heard what happened to you at the Whitehouse. And how I had to take the blame for your actions!" she said, practically spitting every word. "I didn't tell him to, he is such a nutcase that he would say that anyway!"
"Yeah right. And while you were behaving like a spoiled brat, we were stuck in a basement!"
"Well if I wanted to leave you down there I would have! But instead I actually went and told you how to get out!" said Katniss, her temper rising at every word. "Oh, wow and should I be all grateful and be in your debt for ever?" Tears stung the back of Katniss' eyes and Mystique realised that she had gone too far. "Look, did you come here for a reason or just to say that?" snapped Katniss. "Xavier wants you." Said Mystique and she turned and walked off.
Katniss knocked the door but didn't go in. "Come in!" said someone else that was definitely not the Professor. She opened the door and her father was sitting in Xavier's chair. Katniss let out a silent scream and turned around and ran back out the door. But the hall was crowded with humans with guns. "Holy- oh it was just a dream!" said Katniss. She had woken up for real, tangled up in the sheets. Someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?" asked Katniss. "Warren!" Katniss groaned. "WHAT?" There was a pause. Katniss made her bed again and put on the same outfit. She flung the door open, making it bang off the wall. "Kat, dad's done it again." He said. He looked solemn. "Umm, how?" asked Katniss. "Come and see." He said and led her down the corridor and into the Professors office where the TV was paused. Her father looked like he was making a speech. Scott unpaused it.
"Mr President, we have news that mutants escaped from custody yesterday! How and what are you to do?" asked a woman behind camera. "Well, the news have travelled fast. That they did escape. And there is also a dilemma with the cure. It wears off. We have reason to believe that a mutant was behind this." Katniss frowned with nearly everyone else in the room. All of the teachers were there. "We also have reason to believe that my darling daughter, Katniss, who was innocent in this whole matter, was kidnapped by the mutants who escaped." Katniss groaned and that groan was met by twenty "SHHH!" The president carried on. "We have them peace, and what have they given us? Nothing but trouble!" Katniss and Warren both buried their head in their hands. "Oh god." Said Katniss. "We will give these filthy half-bloods what they really are, a taste of their own medicine. WAR!" Katniss was sure that a few people looked ready to faint.
"Wow." Said Warren, breaking the silence, "He is a bigger idiot than we give him credit for." Katniss nodded. "Well, we better start getting ready." Said Logan. "I can tell this going to get bad." Katniss looked around at everyone. "Is this a regular thing?" she asked and Warren shrugged. "Do not know. What?" he asked Storm. "We will need extra security around the mansion. They obviously know that we are here." She said. "How do you do that?" he asked. "It would be a good idea to keep all students IN bed after a certain time. You know what I am talking about." Warren nodded. "Keep someone outside during the night and have radar on 24/7. Hopefully we will have some warning next time."
