When I wake up, it's dark outside the train. Peeta is still laying next to me. I sit up and rub my eyes.

"What time is it?" I ask him.

"8:30. Effie came to collect us for dinner, but we didn't want to wake you, so we let you sleep. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah" I say as we head to the dining car. Inside, we find Haymitch sitting at the table eating some type of chocolate cake.

"What do you want to eat Katniss?" Peeta asks me and I open the cabinets looking for something. I decide on some crackers. I've just about eaten the entire box when the phone on the wall rings. Peeta gets up to answer it.

"Hello? Hi Annie, what's up?"

Annie? Why is Annie calling Peeta?

"Sure Annie. We would love to. Oh, anything is fine with us. Sounds wonderful. Okay Annie. See you soon." He hangs up the phone.

"What was that?" I demand.

"Annie invited us over for dinner the night after tomorrow. She said she wants us to meet her and Finnick's son."

At the mention of Finnick's name I flinch. Some wounds will never close I guess.

After I'm finished eating, Peeta and I get up to leave, but Haymitch stops us.

"I want to talk to you two about something" he says.

Peeta and I both take a seat opposite him. He stares at us silently for a minute before he speaks.

"You two know we're going to the Capitol, right?"

Peeta glances at me, confused.

"Yeah Haymitch, we know where we're going. Why?"

"I just want you two to be mentally prepared is all. I know you've gotten better with the flashbacks and everything Peeta, and Katniss was pretty much holed up in Snow's mansion the last days she was there, but Paylor wanted me to tell you that if anything makes you uncomfortable, or you want to leave, you can. I'm just passing along the message."

"Uh, alright. Thanks Haymitch" Peeta says. "Do you know who else is going to be there?"

"Johanna, Beetee, Paylor, Annie, Plutarch, obviously all of us plus Effie, Ceasar is going to be there, probably interviewing you all, if you're up for it, and some other people I don't care to remember the names of."

"Okay Haymitch. Thanks. See you in the morning" Peeta says as he takes me by the hand and pulls me out of the room. We stand in the hallway looking out the window at the passing mountains.

"I can't believe we're going back there" I say to him.

"I can't either. I don't really know what to expect. My memories in the Capitol are pretty faded, or just tracker jacker induced"

I grimace. I don't like to be reminded of what Snow did to Peeta.

"I'm tired" I say, even though I really just want to crawl under the covers with Peeta.

"You just woke up" he looks at me quizzically.

I don't even respond. I just take him by the hand and pull him into the room I had taken a nap in earlier. I change into pajamas, as does Peeta. We climb into bed and turn the television on. It's news coverage from the Capitol.

The blue haired reporter is covering a story about a house fire that happened in District 9, which apparently killed everyone inside.

"So now their reporting on everything going on in Panem, not just stuff in the Capitol?" Peeta asks

"I guess, maybe they ran out of things to talk about"

We watch them cover a few more stories, when our faces appear on the screen.

I grab Peeta's arm. The headline reads "VICTORS COMING TO CAPITOL"

She gives the report, which just lists all of our names. She also informs the citizens of Panem that there will be a televised event tomorrow. I assume she means whatever meeting about the government were supposed to attend, but her next words cause the hairs on the back of my neck to rise.

"The seven remaining victors will be the jury for the trial of Thread, the former head peacekeeper of District 12."
