The Hunger Games movie is so awesome! Even though there is quite a number of differences of the movie from the book. I can't believe I was able to watch it on the Premiere Night! Team Peeta forever!
DISCLAIMER: I am not Suzanne Collins. I don't own the Hunger Games. :(
Fin and I joined the twins in searching for the trident. "Found anything yet?" Deeno asked a few minutes after. "Nope." I replied, "But I found this!" I held up a silver bow and a sheath of arrows, glistening in the light. I ran my hand through its limbs and felt something engraved on its lower limb. I looked at it and it brought a smile on my face. "You can't get anything that isn't yours, Gin." Madie said.
"Oh, really." I replied in a mocking tone and showed her what was engraved. Ginna Mellark. "That means I own it." I clutched the bow to my chest, along with the arrows. Suddenly, I heard another set of footsteps coming this way from outside. "Hide!" I whispered/yelled to them and we hid in our piles.
The courier came, biting a chicken bone. He reached for the handle and slid the door shut. The lights were immediately closed. Madie gasped. I silenced her and felt my way to the door. I grabbed the handle and pulled it. Deeno came and helped me. It's no use, it's locked. "Do you think we're moving?" I asked.
"Unfortunately." Fin replied, peering in the small window, "We're already past 12." I gasped. I have brought my friends to this! I ran to the end of this freight car and opened the door on the end. Sunlight and wind entered, almost blowing me away. On the background, I saw forest all around us. We are not in the Seam anymore. We are far from it. "Why aren't we headed to 13?" I asked, wondering.
"Because most of these letters come from 13. No one is sending them a letter." Madie replied, showing me a handful of letters with the words, District 13 written on its headings.
"That means…" I trailed off.
"We're headed for the Capitol." Deeno finished. I close the door shut and sat behind it, my head to my knees. Tears slid down my cheeks. Fin and Deeno sat beside me while Madie kneeled in front of me, holding and patting my hands.
"I'm so sorry." I said between sobs, "I brought you here. I shouldn't have."
"It's okay." Fin said, "We'll be fine." He patted my back. "We'll just wait until the Train Mail returns to 12 for letters. Okay?" I nodded.
"I guess that will be fine." I rubbed my eyes, "But what are we going to do for now?"
"I think, we need to tell the conductor we're here." Deeno spoke up, "We don't have food to eat, water to drink, clothes to wear. And he can drive us back." Fin glared at him for proving him wrong but we all agreed to it. We walked to the other end of the car, opened the door, and helped each one hop from one to the other.
After a few minutes, there's only one car left before the first car, where the conductor is. We opened the door and is stunned by the sparkling furniture and the sweet aroma of food. We reached the cafeteria, or more like a dining room. All kinds of food were there, fresh and tasty, you name it. I suddenly smelled the smell of bread with butter. It made my eyes fill with tears because I remember Dad's baking. "I can't believe it." Madie said, "All kinds of food are in here." Deeno nodded. We walked around the car, tasting some frostings, which made me sick remembering my brother's love for frostings.
Suddenly, the door leading to the controls, half opened. We froze in shock. Only the foot of the man went through the door. "Where are you going?" a familiar Capitol voice asked from the controls.
"Let's eat first." the man on the door said. It was Bark, "I'll be discussing the plans with you and Steden. Put that in auto drive for a while." With that, I signaled my friends to hide behind the sofa and I hid behind the tower of cupcakes. I covered my mouth with my hand so that my breathing won't be heard because I'm nearest to the table, where Bark sat after we hid.
The courier and the guard from a while ago, appeared soon. They both sat in front of Bark. "So, Bark, what's the plan about?" the courier who I supposed is Steden asked, with a mouthful of pastries.
Bark cleaned his teeth with a toothpick then said, "The new president said that the plan is to –"
"Who's the new president again?" the guard asked, interrupting Bark. Bark glared at him and he swallowed a huge gulp.
"Her name is Rose Bill." Bark replied, "Okay, Hunk? She's the grandniece of President Coin and she has returned to avenge her aunt."
"So what is the plan your saying?" Steden asked, after drinking a glass of blue liquid.
"The plan is to kill the Mockingjay." Bark said.
"Who's the Mockingjay? I thought it's only a bird." Hunk asked.
"Why are you so dumb and stupid?" Steden exclaimed, "Katniss Everdeen is the Mockingjay! And she killed President Coin." I gave a silent gasp. Mom is the Mockingjay? And what does the Mockingjay mean? Steden looked down, "President Coin, our beloved president. She took us in even though she knows we're from the Capitol." Who's President Coin? I've heard her before. "So how do we lure Everdeen?"
"Easy." Bark said, "We lure her through her loved ones. Mellark, and her two kids, um, Ginna, and er, what's his name again? Oh, Caleb."
"Be specific, Bark." said Hunk, wiping his mouth, "How?"
Bark gritted his teeth. "We'll go with the easy ones. Mellark and Caleb."
"You lost me. Mellark and Caleb?"
"Remember, Hunk. Mellark still has the tracker jacker venom coursing through his veins, seeing the Capitol would set him loose. And the younger boy, well, he's an easy target." Bark explained. They remained quiet after that, enjoying their food. I clutched my bows and arrows tightly preventing myself from killing them on the spot.
I need to warn my family. But how?
