I DON'T OWN THE HUNGER GAMES
KatnissPOV
"We are the Britainna's" this Olivia girl continued, "were the third party I suppose you could say in this war, but right now I don't have time to explain, you lot are going have to come with us" she finished with impatience.
"Go with you! What are you talking about were the hell are we!" Glimmer asked the women as if she was totally nuts.
"Your still in the Arena, but we've just shut down the systems so we can you out, but really we do not have the time, you can either come with us, or stay here and your capitol will kill you all for even being alive!" I could see there was genuine concern on this girls face, so she must have been saying some sort of truth.
All of us just looked at each and were in agreement. We needed to leave now. All I kept thinking about was if the capitol wanted to save us, they would have done, already. So right now whoever these people were our better option, I hope.
"Okay we will go with" Cato said, speaking for us all.
I could see I sigh of relief on Olivia's face, "Right okay good. Now I am going to tell you how this is going to happen and how it will work, but please don't ask me any questions just do as I tell you as I don't have enough time. Firstly I want you guys to get your bags from your tents then go to that big metal thing over there, pack as many weapons as you can carry, whatever your best with keep on your person ready to use it. Forget about food, water, medicine we have all that, right now all I care about is you guys and keeping safe and protected for when we step out of here" she was looking at us all very seriously, and I knew if she was telling the truth our lives depended on us listening to her right now.
"Now once we reach our exit, I want you all to be prepared. We are on the outskirts of district 17, which I know non of you knew exsisted, however that is were this Arena is located in District 17 is only about 20 miles from the Capitol, and is not the only District your civilian districts didn't know about, there are 24 Districts in total, 12 civilian districts, 4 Capitol centred Districts and 8 land waste Districts. Now we are going to District 15 which is on the coast of Panem and has been overtaken by us Britainnians however once we get into the hovercraft then we can talk, you guys got it!" She finished looking over at us all and everyone nodded. "Now my men will try and cover you as much as they can but you guys need to be prepared to get involved" her eyes landed on Rue, and I instinctively put my arm around her.
"How old is she?" She asked me.
"She's twelve" I replied harshly, I didn't mean to sound like a bitch but I can't help it when it comes to Rue.
Olivia just looked to me, and I couldn't quite make out her expression. It was like a mix of sympathy, anger and disgust. Then her eyes travelled down past me to Rue, and her expression instantly change to a warm smile.
"Hello sweetie" she grinned at her, and I looked down to Rue who was half hiding behind me, her head only reaching the bottom of my ribs, "now I have a special job for you okay, I want you to stay right between your friends, especially Katniss here, for some reason I have a feeling she will do everything to keep you safe", I looked down to Rue and gave her a quick smile and wink to reasure her, I could tell she was frightened. Then I turned my gaze back to Olivia who had a small smile on her face and she nodded to me.
"Okay, now you guys know what you need to do, I will give you 4 minutes to pack what you need, once your done come over to us and we will put you in the formation to stand in".
Normal
Once the young tributes had packed all their things, they all made their way over to the Britainna's.
Olivia and her men turned to them and nodded.
"Remember there is no going back now, once we get you out of here we won't be able to turn around and come back here" she said as a final time for them to chose.
All the tributes agreed and had all their favoured weapons at the ready.
"Right. Good. Now once we get to the door we are about to leave the Arena from I want you guys to carry on for the hovercraft, I don't want you to do anything other than run for the hovercraft door, which will open when we are 15 ft away. And Rue" looking to the little girl Olivia smiled, "remember to stay with Katniss".
"Are you ready?" A man standing next to Olivia shouted to all the tributes, he sounded extremely overtrained and military like. "Men. Formation six! Once we reach the door the Hovercraft will be waiting exactly three quatres of a mile away north of the Arena door, it is a straight route".
As the man was giving out his instructions, Cato walked down to Katniss and stood the other side of Rue, sandwiching her between the two of them.
And Cato took Rue hand and look to Katniss reasurringly.
"I'll be waiting for you on that hovercraft Everdeen" he told her with a small smile, and for the first time in a long time Cato was scared. Not for himself, but for his friends, and for his girl on fire.
"I will meet you there Bruxten" she replied to him an he could he the fear in her voice, and pulling a arrow from her back placing it in the bow ready for aim.
The Britainna's began to circle the tributes in two lines and Olivia stood at the front of the second circle.
"Let's move" she shouted, and everyonce followed in a fast pace towards the door.
Once the group had left the Arena they entered what seemed to be a long coridoor which was consisted of white walls and pictures on the wall of black square's. It was very surreal, and was beginning to give Katniss a headache.
After another five minutes they reached another door and entered it and this room was a lot similar to the room Katniss entered before she was lifted into the Arena in the tube however it was larger and only consisred of a set of double doors, on the back wall.
Once the finally reached the doors Olivia lifted her hand signaling her men to stop.
"Remember" she whispered over her shoulder, "no matter what keep running for the hovercraft, you will be able to see it as soon as we get outside. On my count of three".
"One".
Katniss quickly glance back to Cato and she leaned and kissed him causing Rue to be slighty squashed between the two of them, but not giving a shit who saw at the moment, she just needed to kiss him incase she couldn't again.
"Two".
All off the men, positioned themselves and there guns at the ready and all the tributes did the same, whilst getting themselves ready to run.
"Three!".
Once those doors opened, the tributes ran as fast as they could. However everything seemed to slow down. They were running up at what looked like a dirt road, and there was a lot of noise. Guns fired. Grenade's exploded. And it was all so loud.
Thresh, Peeta, Marvel and Cato all began to throw literally every heavy and sharp object that was in reach of them and all of them either injured, maimed or killed the peacekeeprs they we aiming for, Clove, Carissa and Alexis where all throwing knieves about at everyone who was dressed in white, Glimmer was running in the middle of the group however she reached into her bag and pulled out a large ball, she pasted it to Thresh who looked at her strangely.
"Throw it a the largest group" she shouted to him.
Running out of swords and spears, the boy obeyed the blonde and threw the large metal ball at the larger group of Peacekeepers and once it landed a mass explosion blew up. Thresh turned and looked to the girl with a shocked face and raised eyebrows, which Glimmer couldn't but laugh at.
Once Katniss began to shoot, she didn't stop to think about it. Most of her hits were in the neck or close as their eyes were off limits with the stupid head gear.
Poor Rue was hang on to Cato's hand for dear life and was near enough being dragged across to the hovercraft.
Olivia was shooting down all of her enemies. The girl was like on rage with the two guns in either hand.
And soon the hovercraft was 15 feet away and the doors were opening.
Cato picked Rue up and he threw his last sword at a peace keeper about 15 yard away to his left. Rue put her head between his shoulders then he finally grabbed Katniss by the arm and sprinted his way up the ramp. He past Rue to Katniss then ran back toward the door, he had to make sure everyone was in, all of his...whatever they where needed to be safe.
Soon enough everyone was up the ramp and the doors were closing.
Everyone stayed silent for a few moments and all that could be heard was the heaving breathing.
Then Rue jumped down from Katniss ran over to Thresh and jumped on him. He laughed a little before hugging her back. He really was like another big brother to her.
Alexis, Phoenix and Peeta all began to hug one another and laugh at the fact everyone made it.
Marvel turned to Carissa and picked her up off the floor and held her as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He kissed her face all over causing her to laugh out loud.
Cato smiled at Katniss making her laugh at him, before she rested her forehead on his.
"We're safe Cato" she sighed relief, "we survived the hunger games". She could feel tears in her eyes, but she wasn't sad.
And she never saw such a bright toothy smile in Cato before, and as she looked around at her friends around her she could see they we're all the same. They where free.
Even Glimmer and Clove where hugging each other with joy at this point. At which point over Glimmers shoulder Clove could see a pair of soft ocean blue eyes looking her way, to which she grinned and in return Peeta winked and smiled back at her.
As Olivia walked over to them she laughed slightly to see all of these teens in front of her, even though she wasn't from this country even she knew once you go into that Arena if you do come out overjoyed is never a emotion that meets you even in victory.
"I hate to break up your moment guys but you all need a real debriefing of what's going on" Olivia smiled at them all, "follow me".
Turning around Olivia wrapped her arms around two of the men who where protecting the tributes from the peacekeepers. And she grinned at the before telling them that the hardest part was over for now.
"You guys did me proud today, fantastic leadership skills, I'll be sure to tell my grandfather" she told the two men who both thanked her, and she slapped them on the back in acceptance.
She then leaned over her shoulder once shifting her head as if the tributes where to follow.
They approached a large dark grey door, that looked very high security as if it was a vault. Olivia rooted in her inside jacket pocket before pulling out a white card and swiping it across the pad on the side wall.
A holographic image of a strange logo appeared. It consisted of a a white dove standing on two twilted crossed golden arrows.
"Identification please" a computerised voice asked in the same strange accent as Olivia and the other Britainnians.
"Olivia Heyton" Olivia stated.
"Band" the voice replied.
Olivia raised her wrist toward the black pad and she pulled back her jacket sleeve to reveal a golden coloured braclet with hundreds of gold cirlce links around it. After leaving her arm there for a few more seconds, a green light surrounded the door frame and the door began to open.
"Welcome back aboard Ms. Heyton and Team X" the computerised voice said.
All of the tributes were in complete awe of the view infront of them.
This hovercraft was huge. Much bigger from what it looked from the outside. It's huge windows surround the whole thing letting them see everything around them, showing all the peace keepers trying to shoot at the hovercraft, however their own amunition seemed to be bouncing back at them.
All the walls on this hovercraft where see through. It did look very busy as their was people walking everywhere, working on the machinary on what looked like what is flying the hovercraft.
All the tributes looked to each other then back to their new enviroment.
Once all the crew of the ship saw them, they stopped and a cheer broke out, and different members of Olivia's team began to greet people with hugs as if they hadn't seen each other in a while. Olivia was even hugging various different people.
"What's with the weird reunion shit?" Marvel whispered to Rissa, which caused her to giggle slightly but she shrugged her shoulders then brought her finger to her lips telling Marvel to be quiet.
"This is..." Clove began.
"Huge!" Glimmer finished with the look of shock still very apparent on her face.
"And I know we were in a rush and everything but I don't remember seeing any windows when we ran in" Alexis said making a very good point as not one of the others remember seeing windows either, and it was very bright in here.
"That's because they are blacked out, and they not windows. They are called, cyrptiptianuimal, it's a material we discovered back home about two decades ago. It's literally impossible to get through and is indestructable to destroy. Plus the fact it's a ammunition deflecter is pretty awesome aswell. It covers the whole of the outside of the hovercaft" she laughed as she could still see the peace keepers trying to fire on their ship however only causing their own bullets to deflect.
Turning back around Olivia mad her way to the elevator in the other side of the ship, pressing the button the doors opened, she then signaled with her hand for the tributes to walk in.
As it was quite a large elevator it fitted them all in, and with a press of a button, they began to go up.
With a ding the doors opened and Olivia walked out into a corridoor then walked to the first door on her left. Opening it she let all the teens in front of her go first before then following herself.
KatnissPOV
As Olivia ushered us all into this room I was surpised to see the walls where no long see through, but just normal. This looked like a confrence room however a lot less infromal, I could see directly infront of the wall facing the door, there was food and refreshments. Which we all ran too, I must have forgotten how hungry I was with all this adrenaline and running and trying to not get killed business going on, but as soon as the food caught my eye it soon jogged my memory.
Once I grabbed a plate of the food, I tured around to see that Olivia was near the other side on speaking down to her desk.
"Yes, grandfather their here... Yes their all safe... About to be given a fully debrie-... Well of course grandfather... Not at all, I will see you and my bothers in a moment then", she finished. Who was she talking to, and as if like clockwork...
"Okay you lot, once you guys have got want to want to eat and drink take a seat, as my grandfather and my brothers will be down to help me give you all a proper debriefing where you can ask questions and we can answer them for you" she told us all.
Finally some real answers.
Peeta, Alexis, Clove, Rue and Thresh all took a seat, the rest of us stayed standing.
A few seconds later, a different door that we entered from opened near the desk Olivia was talking to, to reveal an older looking man in his late 60's to early 70's. He was on a walking stick to help him along. He had a white mustache and wore thicked rimmed rectangle glasses.
He looked harmless to a fly.
Followed him where three men.
The first one looked older than Olivia but not by too much. He hand shortish blondey brown her and was a very tall large man. He must have trained at some point.
The next one however look very similar to Olivia, and he must have been around the same age. He had brown her was was also very tall, but his build was nowhere near as muscular as the older looking young man.
And finally a young teen looking boy stepped out, he was also a very tall boy, and Katniss could tell when he was older he was be the image of his oldest brother. And even Katniss could say all three boys were very good looking.
Olivia walked over to her grandfather, and kissed him on both cheeks, I could see she would become very humble around him and they exchanged a few words and from what I could see the old man was very pleased and happy to see her and he kissed her on her forehead. It was actually really nice how pleased he was to see her.
She the went over to her brothers, the oldest picked her up and swong her around which caused Olivia to laugh.
"I missed you Ollie" I heard him say to her.
"Sure you did" she told him punching him in the arm.
Then she turned to her other two other brothers who both hugged her at the same time.
"Don't scare us like that again" the youngest boy said to her, and Olivia smiled at him.
"Pshh! It's my jobs to scare you little brother" she koked as she kissed the top of his forehead.
I guess Olivia and her men hadn't been on this ship in a while.
"Good afternoon tributes of the 74th hunger games" the old man said to us, he had a soft smile on his face and he was looking at us all over the bridge of his glasses, "I must say you have all been very brave, and I am proud of you for all staying so strong and looking after one another. You never did what the capitol wanted. You all survived".
"Now, I know you all have some questions about what's been going on outside those Arena walls, and Olivia, Joesph, Noah and Liam and myself of course are here to explain everything we can for you, but firstly I will explain about the war that has just broken out in your country and who where are" I knew we were in war, I guess the dark days really have returned.
"We the Britainna's have been among this country for many many years. We started our mission around 60 years ago, when a man from a foriegn country escaped a land where children where being forced to kill each other for the entertainment of the rich, where the countries leaders where violent and cruel. My father was called Maximus Heyton, and he and my mother escaped from Panem when I was only 4 years. My father made a vow that he would do everything he could to save his district and the rest of panem from their capitols cruel manner and enforcement. Once he began to tell other's of Panem and it's horror's some didn't believe him, some did and didn't care as they still begrudged the country for cutting ours out 200 years ago in the 3rd World War, however there were few who listened to my father, and they did care. They wanted to help. By the time my father turned 42 he had formed a elite group of highly trained soldiers of around 50 men and women willing to fight to help save Panem. Before my father died, he managed over 2500 men and 9 battle bases. Two of which were based in the Panem districts. He called them the Britainna's, but we have grown since then, and now we have even more on our side to free this country. We have had agents working in the capitol, some even work with President Snow himself, however we have only let are presence be known to yrou country the last couple of months, after the rebels declared war on this country for the second time".
"The rebels... All the rebels where killed... District thirteen was destroyed years back" Carissa said confused with the old man.
"Your a right district thirteen was bombed, however the rebels escaped underground, and that's where they've been hiding the last 75 years, you should see their bunker actualy it really is quite spectacular", the old man told us all. This really was a hell of a lot to take in and I lost my appetite all of a suuden.
"So where do you guys fit in to this, I mean what is your end goal here? To take over our country?" Clove asked, and although I really didn't think her attitude was appropriate, she did have a very good point.
"No dear not at all, our hopeful end achievement is to give this country and it's people their freedom back, set up a new government which is for all the citizens of the country, not just a bunch of crazy snobs with multi-coloured hair", I couldn't help but laugh at his comment.
"So the Britainna's are working with the rebels of District thirteen?" Alexis thought out loud.
"Well, for now we are yes, but the rebels leader...while she wants to take down the current government, her policies of running a country are not really the best either, so for now the rebels and the Britainna's are in a alliance, but I can't say how long for".
"What about the districts, what about our families" I asked him and I could hear the desperation in my voice.
Once I saw the old man look across all of our faces, he sighed. I could tell he didn't want to say what was coming next.
"Once the war did break out, certain districts began to turn on the capitol, and rioted against their district peacekeepers. And of course the capitol responded in the only way they ever have. In what they call disipline. We did try an save as many as we could, but Districts 12 to 8 have been completely bombed and destroyed. Districts 7 to 5 where evacuated to thirteen, and the other districts are torn in rebels and capitolites, so we don't know exactly what's happening with them yet. I'm sorry".
I felt my whole world crash down around me, and I fell to floor. For a while everything tuned out and I couldn't hear nothing. Prim. She was gone. I promise her I would do everything I could to protect her and she was dead. Gale my best friend and all his family, Madge...they where all gone. I could hear a sound slowly becoming louder. Someone was crying, no they where sobbing.
Only when I came back to my senses and reality, when I realised, it was me.
CatoPOV
Once he told us everything going on with our ditricts, I turned to Katniss and she looked ill, and I could see she was about to fall so I tried to catch her but only broke her fall, by letting her fall on me. When she began to cry I began to rock back and a little and I hushed in her ear.
I didn't say a word to her though, I mean what could I say to her, 'everythings going to be okay', because it wasn't. She's just found out that her family and friends are dead and I don't know what you say to a person who's just lost everything and lost and where thriving to live for.
I began to notice that, Rue was crying as Thresh held her, and Rissa and Marvel were both with Peeta who was sat in one of the chairs with his head in his hands.
I saw Glimmer and Clove make their way over to me. Clove sat down next me and took Katniss' hand.
I was in shock, but I shrugged it off for later, right now I had to focus on Katniss who had become quite, and she was looking around at where she was.
She looked up to me, and the tears still fell down her face silently. Her hair was sticking to her face slightly and I moved it behind her ear.
Then her eyes travelled down her arm and to her hand which was interlocked with Clove, Katniss looked to Clove who had a small smile on her face, then her attention was back to me.
"There gone Cato. She's gone...my Prim...she's gone" she said to me, and I could her the emptiness in her voice. I don't know what to say to her at this point. So I pulled her closer to me so her head was buried in my neck, and I could soon feel her tears run down my skin to the top of my shirt.
"She needs to leave" Clove quietly said, to nobody in particular, then she let go of Katniss' habd and stud up.
"I know you guys have more to tell us, and I know we have more question which need to be answered but right now, but for today I think we have had enough" she told Olivia and her grandfather.
"Of course, of course" he replied sympathetically, "Olivis dear take Team X to their rooms. Gretchin will give you the keys when you get over there and make sure the servetries are ready if they need anything, and Noah go with her" he told Olivia and her brother in a rush, I knew this man understood the privacy that was needed for some of us right now, he was genuinely concerned.
"Olivia, of course grandfather, alright guys this way" she said as her and her brother began to make their way to the door we came in.
So I picked Katniss up bridal style and followed them. We walked back down the coridoor, passing a few people who looked at us as they crossed us. There where so many doors we passed and we turned a few corner before we finally reached a glass door, which let into a another room with warm beige walls, and a white desk, which had two women sitting behind it, on was about 40 I think and the other women I would say was about 60.
"Hello Olivia, Noah dear, what can I do for you two?" the old women who I am guessing is Gretchin asked with sweet smile, maybe even too sweet. This lady was a little creepy.
"Afternoon Gretchin, can I have the room keys for Team X please?" Noah replied. Team X? I heard the old man call us that before, Team X.
Before I could think anymore of it, Noah and Olivia snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Okay guys we have a apartment on the 6th floor for you guys. It has 6 bedrooms so that does mean some of you guys will be sharing, the lift will take you guys straight to the 6th floor, which its entirely your own floor. There is a kitchen with three cooks ready to make you whatever, a huge living room space, a dining room and a bathroon, however all of the rooms are ensuite, so there won't be many arguements over the bathroom. Finally tomorrow my grandfather has said it may be best if you guys have some time to yourselves, so tomorrow your clothes will be send up to your rooms at around 10 a.m then after that you guys can either stay in your rooms or explore the hovercraft, or you can even call me or my brother and we can ask anymore of your questions, its totally up to yourselves" once she finished the elevator doors dinged and opened and she gave us all a key card, but I took Katniss'. We then all walked in and turned to face the doors. Olivia and her brother both smiled softly at us and it was then I knew they where twins their facial expression where both the exact same.
Then doors shut, and we began to make our way to the 6th floor, I looked down to Katniss and she was asleep but I could still see the tears streaming down her face.
Once the door opened, we walked out into a hallway, with wooden floor and cream walls with pictures of a beach, however the sea seemed to be a lot clearer and the sand a lot whiter than he had ever seen. It looked very beautiful.
Then we came to a huge double door, which was made with solid wood, which was odd as wooden doors like this one where unheard of at home. It was usually, bronze, silver or gold if you where rich enough, only the poorier distrcts used wooden doors, however this wooden door, was amazing, it reminded me of Katniss a little. Strong, sturdy but naturally beautiful and stood her ground, and she was definetely all of the above.
Using my key card I swiped it across the black pad, and the holographic image from when we first entered the ship appeared again.
"Identification please" oh shit.
"Errr, Cato Bruxeton", I was feeling a bit nervous as I didn't really know what would happen if the room rejected us.
"Welcome Sir to the 6th floor" as the computer was talking I heard a click in door and it unlocking and I opened the door and walked into the room.
It was huge! I mean like insanely big, it was about twice the size of floor we stayed in back at the capitol in now bigger.
On one side of the room though I could see a line up of 6 doors and I knew they where the bedrooms. I looked at each door and only one of them was the same colour dark wood as the front door so that's the room I went to.
When I opened the door, I was in shock again of the size of the room, and the size of the bed. It was about 4 or 5 metre's wide and 2 and a half metres wide, with dark purple and white silk bedding and various size fluffy pillows scattered right along the bed. There was a large flatscreen on the wall and a couch on the other side of the room. The was also two doors.
One I was guessing what the bathroom and the other on and not to sure about.
After taking in the room I decided I need to get Katniss in bed. So I took off her bag, jacked, shoes, socks and her belt carrying all her knives and things moving the stupid fluffy coushins, I layed her on the bed and put the over throw over her as the bed cover would make her too hot.
As I began to pull away I could feel her grab my arm pulling me down, she was still asleep, but I knew she musn't have wanted to be alone, so I stripped off so I was in my pants but I took of my shirt. Then I got in next her, and soon I feel into a dreamless sleep.
Okay another chapter ticked off there, and I hoped this answered a few question marks for you guys :) and thankyou to everyone who has review and added my story to their favourites, I really do love it when people review it make me want to write and carry on with my story so thankyou so much!
