I look at my bare room, wishing I could unpack immediately and hide under my covers. It looked like a ghost, a shadow of its former self without my possessions to decorate it. I sigh. One way or another there's no way I'm coming back here. Ever.

I was told to pack my bags and put them in a hovercraft. If I survived, I would have my stuff in my new home in District 13. If I died they would give my possessions to the refugees. It was most likely that refugees would be getting some nice new clothes.

A solider, Boggs I think his name was, walks into my room.

'Have you got your bag ready to go Soldier Ashby?'

I nod and pass it to him. He notices my photo album on the side.

'Are you going to pack that too?'

'No. I was wondering if… you know, I die… could you give it to Peeta, or Gale? Or if they haven't survived just anyone who knows me?'

'Of course', he gave me a reassuring smile and takes the book. I decided I liked him; he had a personality, unlike the other soldiers. 'Anyway, we're behind schedule. We need to move you to your mission placement immediately. Do you remember what you have to do?'

'How could I forget? I've had it drilled into me by Red so much that I think its ingrained on my brain' Boggs laughs, then escorts me outside, to the District 13 hovercraft.

A 10-minute journey later and I was crouched behind a bin outside the building Peeta was being kept in, waiting for the signal. I watched as Red crept round the corner with the knockout gas. I knew the plan well. I had to wait for the explosion, and then sneak in 2 minutes later.

I feel in my pocket for the gadget they had given me. Beetee had designed it ages ago. It stopped a door from locking when it was closed.

I gasped. I had the most important job in the whole mission. If I failed, everything went down. Peeta would be stuck in there forever; Gale would be dead. I took some deep breaths. Just concentrate on what you have to do. I went over the plan again in my mind.

Don't think of anything else, just the plan.

That was when I heard the explosion. It was so loud I swear my eardrums burst. A bunch of guards rushed out of the door and I managed to quickly stick my gadget to it unnoticed. As soon as they were out of sight I opened the door and went in, locking it behind me.

This was my big acting scene. The most important part. This was why they chose me.

As predicted they had left one guard behind. I ran up to him. My makeup and hair had been done perfectly so it looked as if I had just been in a blast.

'Officer, officer help! There was… an explosion! I saw some rebels running away' I stop to catch my breath. 'You've got to help!'

'We've already sent some people maam. Also how did you get in here?'

'The door was open. My friend was in the car! I think he came in here! I need to find him' I looked up at him through my eyelashes, trying to be cute, sexy and flustered all at the same time. Was biting my lip a bit too much? It didn't matter anyway, because he was falling down dead. I saw Red grinning behind him, holding a gun.

'You're amazing at acting'

'Shut up! Not the time'

We run together down the corridors, following the instructions we had memorized to find the cells. Why had they let two teenagers do this part instead of professionally trained adults? I suppose they didn't have time to think up a proper plan.

We turned a corner, to find a long corridor with several chambers leading off it. I saw Peeta, asleep in the first one, and Johanna in the second, and Annie Cresta in the third. These were out main targets.

I pulled out another gadget Beetee had given us, and started to unlock Peeta's door. Red did the same for Annie.

There was a rumble of voices heading up the hall, getting louder every second.

'Hurry up' I hissed at the machine that was unlocking Peeta's door. Red had already finished and was on to Johanna, who was banging at the door of her cell.

My door finally swung open and I rushed in, ignoring how emaciated Peeta looked. Shaking him awake, I pulled him out the entrance, beckoning Annie as well. She looked a bit dazed, but followed. Johanna was out and grabbed a gun from the rack on the door. I readied my gun as well and the group of us ran through the hallways.

Luckily no one came until the very last turn. We were nearing the exit when a group of Capitol peacekeepers came from the other corridor. They looked a bit bewildered from the knockout gas, but still managed to aim a several shots at us.

'You go! I'll keep them back.' Red yelled pointing his gun at the peacekeepers.

'No, you'll be killed!'

'I wont! I'll follow you in a bit, you just need a head start!' I could see in his eyes he didn't mean it.

Johanna opened the side door and started pushing Annie and Peeta through. I realized she had been carrying him for most of the time because he was still almost unconscious.

'Come on!' She growled at me.

I ran through the door, turning back at the last second to see Red being shot in the chest.
