Here is Chapter 8. The first part is Ginna's POV. Please review.

Oh and Jennifer Granger Rowling…yes, 76th.

DISCLAIMER: I am not Suzanne Collins. I do not own the Hunger Games.

"Happy 76th Annual Hunger Games!" the blue haired man who appeared in the sky, said, "And may the odds be ever in your favor!"

"Who is he?" I asked. We were just eating smores near a fire when the symbol of Panem flashed in the sky.

"He's Caesar Flickerman." Fin answered, "He's an interviewer of the past Hunger Games."

"Does that mean that, um," Madie gulped, "we are part of the Hunger Games?"

"Looks like it." Deeno confirmed.

Caesar continued, "Our past president, President Warren, has been assassinated last week. So we have a new president!" A cheer came from a non existent crowd. "President Rose Bill, grand niece of President Coin of District 13!" Another cheer. Caesar's face vanished and Rose's appeared.

"Welcome. Welcome." she greeted Panem, "As dear Caesar here said, President Warren has been assassinated. And so, I took over." She cleared her throat. "My first project of being the new president of Panem, is…the return of the Hunger Games!" Another cheer but this time it showed a broadcast of Capitol citizens cheering loudly. It returned to President Rose. "This year's Games has a twist. I, myself chose the tributes. Let's see who they are!"

Dad appeared in the screen. "Peeta Mellark!" A cheer from the crowd. Mom's face appeared. "Katniss Mellark nee Everdeen!" Louder cheer.

Fin's face appeared next. "Fin Leon Ordair!" Cheer and whispers. "Some youngsters!" Rose exclaimed, "Madielaide Hawthorne!" Madie's face appeared. "Her twin…Deenoli Hawthorne!" Deeno's face appeared.

Suddenly, my younger brother's face appeared! "Caleb Mellark!" A silent cheer and whispers came from the Capitol. "Last but not the least…my most favorite…Ginna Mellark!" My face appeared. I only heard gasps and whispers from the crowd. I lifted my chin up, trying to look strong.

Rose appeared again, "Another difference of these Games is the arena." A picture of the arena was shown. "Unlike the past arena's, this year is…a maze! A labyrinth!" A loud cheer came.

"A lot of things are changed in this Game. First, tributes do not need to kill each other." I gave a sigh of relief. "But…I have added ways on how to kill them. Second, there is an exit in this maze but once you reach it, there is really no exit to go out of the arena. Third, you must reach the middle of the maze, where I have prepared a surprise.

"So…let the annual 76th Hunger Games begin!" A loud cheer came from the Capitol.

"And may the odds be ever in your favor!" All the Capitol citizens said in unison.

Caesar's face reappeared, "President Rose just loves surprises! And this is one very special surprise for you, tributes, especially Ginna and Caleb Mellark!" I stared intently at the screen as the symbol of Panem appeared.

Then I saw it. I badly wished I hadn't. From the carriages to the first interviews to the actual 74th Hunger Games to the final interviews to the crowning to the Victory Tour to the special announcement (A/N: This is the announcement that past victors will be tributes of the Quell.) to the 75th Hunger Games to the unexpected finish to the District 12 bombing to the propaganda (A/N: This is the propos.) to the Rebellion until Snow's execution.

I looked at my 17-year-old mother who is aiming her arrow at Snow. She released and shot the woman known as Coin instead of Snow. I also saw Mom's case being reasoned by Haymitch. Worst of all, I saw and learned how Dad was hijacked. Tracker jacker venom, mutts, memories.

I don't know what to say. I looked at my friends as Caesar said, "Goodbye!". They're all staring at the sky above, speechless like me.

Fin finally looked at me, his eyes as wide as plates, "Wow." Madie agreed. I sighed. Deeno still looked up. I noticed he isn't speechless or awed by what he saw. He is observing the sky, trying to find our way out.

Gale's POV

I watched it. I watch how my children awoke in the arena; how Madie cried; how they opened the crates; how they watched history.

I was trying to free myself. But once I heard those two words, my body is just numb. Hunger Games. Hunger Games. Hunger Games, my mind repeated it over and over again. We put an end to this. Why did it return?

After keeping the camera poised with Gin and Cale, it wanders off to Catnip and er, Peeta. They were just leaning on the wall; Katniss and Peeta's heads down while their son watched the sky intently. They have finally decided to let him know.

When Flickerman said his farewell, Cale and Catnip's eyes locked. Then she looked at Peeta. His head remained low; his hands clenched into fists; his body as still as stone. "Peeta?" Katniss asked worriedly. He looks up. Katniss! Cale! Run!, I yelled in my mind even though there is no way for them to hear.

Peeta's eyes are as purple as grapes. Katniss stood up, hiding Cale behind her as Peeta stood too, giving her an evil smirk. Before Peeta can lurk forward and…perhaps, kill Katniss, a circle of fire surrounded mother and son. "Mom," Caleb asked, confused and scared, "what's happening?"

She knelt in front of his son, "Caleb, listen to me, no matter what happens, don't ever leave my side!" Cale nodded obiedently. Suddenly, there was a shout outside of the circle, specifically, Peeta's.

The cameras did not show what occurred. "Peeta!" Katniss screamed, gripping a coughing Cale. You'll suffocate in there!, I screamed inside, Find a way out!

Caleb kept coughing until he fell on the ground. "Caleb!" Katniss exclaimed. She hugged her son tightly, until she too, fainted. The circle of fire vanished, and the camera turned to the kids.

They were planning on how to escape. "I studied the so-called sky." Deeno said.

"Noticed." Gin stammered, having a bite of her smores, "Why so-called?"

"It's a dome."

"A dome?" Madie asked. I sigh. Sometimes she is just too slow. Fin pointed the sky with his fork, or supposedly, trident. They all looked up. "Oh." Madie said, "Grids."

They stared at the fire again. "Mom used some kind of electricity connected to an arrow to blow up the" air quotation marks, "'sky'." Gin said, having another bite, "Obviously, we can't do that because no one here knows the electricity thingy and there are no trees and lightning."

"So?" Madie asked again.

"So, do other people here have ideas?" Ginna said, "Ordair?"

Everybody turned to look at Finnick and Annie's offspring. He looks more like Finnick. He has the same bronze hair and green eyes. "Try blowing up the sky."

Ginna gave him a death stare. "What I mean is," he explained, getting up and searching the crates, "we blow it up with bombs." With that, he took out two explosives. "There are like 20 of them."

"Those are low explosive bombs." Madie said. I gave a silent chuckle. Madielaide may be slow but she is intelligent while her brother, otherwise.

"What?" Deeno asked, "Since when do you know about bombs?" Madie rolled her eyes and ignored the question.

She walked to Fin and grabbed one bomb on his hand. "This is a low explosive bomb. Low explosives consist of a composition of an oxidizing salt, such as potassium nitrate, and solid fuel, such as charcoal or aluminum powder." My daughter explained, "These compositions deflagrate upon ignition producing hot gas. Under normal circumstances deflagration occurs too slowly to produce a significant pressure wave. Low explosives must, therefore, be used in large quantities or confined in a container with a high burst pressure to be used as an effective bomb." (A/N: Source: .org)

Her friends looked at her in utter amazement. "Meaning?" Deeno asked.

She sighed, annoyed, "It means that if we throw this onto the sky, it won't work. Only Ginna knows how to shoot arrows, so even if shoots 5 one by one, for example, it still won't work. Her arrows won't even reach 20. This kind of bomb needs to be used in a large amount at the same time."

"I thought it only needs, er large…quantities." Fin said, "Why at the same time?"

Madie sighed irritably, "Because, that freaking sky is so far away! Don't you guys read?"

They all started saying their excuses. "I've finished school. I may have known before but not now." Fin said.

"Nope." Deeno replied quite proudly, "That's why I have an intelligent sister." Madie hissed.

Everybody stared at Ginna, waiting for her answer. "Homeschool." Is all she said.

They continued to plan on how they will blow up the dome. Suddenly, Madie inspired me to get out of this seat. I looked around and found the two muscular men snoring.

I gently removed my feet from the tie surrounding the chair, which I've loosened a while ago. I tried to remove my gag using my tongue and eventually I succeeded. The only problem is: How can I untie my wrists?

I suddenly remembered, Rik, a guy from the market, handed me a lighter in attempt to persuade me to smoke. I stretched my bound hands, reaching for my back pocket. I felt it! The lighter!

I gently removed it and poised it to the rope. I pressed the thumbwheel and no fire. I kept pressing it, mumbling, "Come on!", under my breath. Finally, the fire flickered. It burned the rope, slowly but surely, releasing me.

"Yes!" I exclaim as I stood up. I immediately covered my mouth. The men started to stir.

On one man, I noticed a syringe with liquid in his front pocket. That must be a sleeping drug!, I thought.

I quickly snatched it. Only a small amount of drug is left. I shot the men; half-half.

End of Chapter 8

Cale is Caleb's nickname, just for your information. Gale always uses it.
