My nightmares were filled with Rue and my family screaming, pleading and accusing me of their deaths. I woke up in a cold sweat screaming my head off, I then realized I wasn't in my safe house anymore, I was in some sort of glass room in a recruit bed and beyond the glass wall there was an actual recruit room.
'That's odd' I thought for a second before realizing I wasn't alone.
'Stupid, stupid, stupid! You forgot to check the room!' My mind chided me.
"Who are you? Where am I?" The second question was a bit stupid, I knew for sure I was in Division,
"No one you need to concern yourself with."
"Well you think highly of yourself" I mutter sarcastically under my breath "and what are you going to do to me?"
"Nothing. I'm just here to guard you until he is available."
"Snow? Of course he'd want to gloat."
I saw the guard crack a tiny smile and I just knew that if we'd met before I'd gone rogue we'd probably be friends.
"So, what's your name tough guy?" I asked trying to ease the mood and ease the thoughts of my impending death. Before he could say what he said to me before I started mocking him with a faked up manly voice "and don't say 'No one you need to concern yourself with'"
"Walker."
"Well Walker, I'm Katniss Everdeen."
"I know who you are."
"Yeah, I'm guessing pretty much all of Division knows uh?"
"Of course, the one who rebelled, who escaped. The great Girl on Fire." He stated matter of factly.
"Oh"
"Get up, we need to go."
"What? No chains or restraints, no nothing? You're not afraid I'll try to break out again?"
I asked raising my eyebrow with a faint smirk on my face.
"You're dangerous, not stupid."
He replied in that calm tone yet again and that admission actually made me grin a little.
The boy is catching on.
He is taking me to Snow's office, the tyrant who had Peeta killed, I just want to shoot him in the head for all he's done. To me and to everyone.
Walker knocks twice on the door before letting me and himself into the office where a smirking Snow and a boy, or should I say man, with an emotionless face wait.
"Ah, there she is. Thank you Walker, my boy, you're free to leave now."
Snow said dismissing him while still smirking and staring intently at me as Walker leaves the room. As soon as the door closes Snow turns to the boy/man next to him.
"Get her there and make sure she is locked tight."
I let myself be led to the metal chair, fighting right now will get me nowhere. As I sit in the chair and my hands are placed in the right position I hear a whooshing sound and my hands and feet are restrained by metal cuffs protruding from the chair.
"So Ms. Everdeen, here we are once more. I'd ask how you've been but I'm sure it'll be less than pleasant."
"Oh no, please do Snow, and if you must know I was doing just fine, that is until you decided to kill a child in front of me" I spat at him.
"Ah yes, of course my dear."
"Why am I here?"
"I'm sure you mean why you're still alive. Am I right?"
I give a slight nod to the question that has been plaguing my mind since I woke up.
"Well that is very simple Katniss, I need you. You are one of our best, your country needs you."
"Bullshit. My country needs me? Nothing that goes on around here is for my country. It's for you! And if you think-"
My next sentence is interrupted by blinding, white-hot pain.
Electroshock.
