Imagine this. Foxface didn't eat the berries laid out by peeta. She made it to the final 4. Cato died, and She became the final 3 with Katniss and Peeta. Peeta too weak to fight, Katniss unwilling, and Foxface too weak, what would happen to the games?
This is continued straight from the last chapter
Me and Katniss are roughly dragged inside the justice building. Haymitch stares at us when the door is finally slammed. ''What happened?'' Cries Effie. ''We lost the feed after Katniss made her beautiful speech''. Me, Katniss and Peeta exchange looks. ''Its nothing Effie. An old truck backfired''. Haymitch eyes Us cautiously. ''Come with me, you three''. He leaves the room before we agree.
Haymitch either has remarkable instincts or amazing memory, because as far as I know he has only been to District 11 once. We go through a maze of hallways and doors, the three of us following in deathly silence. He eventually shoves open a trapdoor and we climb up a ladder. When Haymitch pushes it aside, we find ourselves in the dome of the Justice Building. It's a huge place. It's filled with broken furniture, piles of books and rusty weapons. The coat of dust blanketing everything is so thick it's clear it hasn't been disturbed for years. Light struggles to filter in through four grimy square windows. Haymitch kicks the trapdoor shut and turns on us. "What happened?" he asks.
Haymitch looks toward Peeta and he tells him everything that happened in the square. The Whistle. The salute. The shootings. Haymitch listens carefully throughout the whole thing. He finishes and looks between Katniss and Haymitch. "Whats going on Haymitch?".
He looks over towards Katniss. "It will be better coming from you". Katniss looks upset but she begins to talk. She talks about a visit from president snow, unrest in all the districts. She talks about Kissing someone called Gale. She tells us how we are in trouble, how the whole country is in jeopardy because of my trick with the berries. She finishes with "I was supposed to fix things on this tour. Make everyone who had doubted believe I acted out of love. Calm things down. But obviously, all I've done today is. get three people killed, and now everyone in the square will be punished." She sinks down on a couch. She buries her head in her hands.
Peeta Looks at her. "Then I made things worse, too. By giving the money," he says. He strikes out at a lamp sitting on a crate nearby. It goes flying across the room and shatters on the floor. He addresses Katniss and Haymitch. "This has to stop. Right now. This - this - game you two play, where you tell each other secrets but keep them from me like I'm too inconsequential or stupid or weak to handle them."
"It's not like that, Peeta - " Katniss begins.
"It's exactly like that!" he yells at me. "I have people I care about, too, Katniss! Family and friends back in District Twelve who will be just as dead as yours if we don't pull this thing off. So, after all we went through in the arena, don't I even rate the truth from you?". All of them are ignoring me, shouting between each other. I sit awkwardly down on the couch that Katniss was on a few minutes ago, despite the springs sticking out of it.
"You're always so reliably good, Peeta," says Haymitch quietly. "So smart about how you present yourself before the cameras. I didn't want to disrupt that."
"Well, you overestimated me. Because I really screwed up today. What do you think is going to happen to Rue's and Thresh's families? Do you think they'll get their share of our winnings? Do you think I gave them a bright future? Because I think they'll be lucky if they survive the day!" Peeta sends something else flying, a statue. I can bet they haven't seen him like this before. He's scary mad.
"He's right, Haymitch," I say. "We were wrong not to tell him. Even back in the Capitol."
"Even in the arena, you two had some sort of system worked out, didn't you?" asks Peeta. His voice is quieter now. "Something I wasn't part of."
"No. Not officially. I just could tell what Haymitch wanted me to do by what he sent, or didn't send," Katniss replies. She sounds nervous.
"Well, I never had that opportunity. Because he never sent me anything until you showed up," says Peeta. I can imagine how that looked to Peeta, almost dieing and then meeting up with Katniss and finding she had a roll of bread and burn medicine whilst he was on the edge of death.
"Look, boy - " Haymitch begins.
"Don't bother, Haymitch. I know you had to choose one of us. And I'd have wanted it to be her. But this is something different. People are dead out there. More will follow unless we're very good. We all know I'm better than Katniss in front of the cameras. No one needs to coach me on what to say. But I have to know what I'm walking into," says Peeta.
"From now on, you'll be fully informed," Haymitch promises.
"I better be," says Peeta. He doesn't even bother to look at me and Katniss before he leaves.
Dust settles on us. On my hair, my dress. On katniss' Mockingjay pin.
"Did you choose me, Haymitch?" she asks.
"Yeah," he says.
"Why? You like him better".
"That's true. But remember, until they changed the rules, I could only hope to get one of you out of there alive," he says. "I thought since he was determined to protect you, well, between the three of us, we might be able to bring you home."
"Oh" is all I can think to say.
"You'll see, the choices you'll have to make. If we survive this," says Haymitch. "You'll learn."
He leaves too and Katniss stands there by herself. "Come on" she says after a few minutes. "Lets go to dinner".
We go back down to the ground floor of the Justice building. My stylist and Prep team are waiting for me. They take me to one of the bigger rooms in the justice building. Inisde there are clothes rails with dresses and coats in every colour of the rainbow. They push me into a adjoining bathroom and I have a long shower to wash the dust out of my hair. They dress me In a cream dress. They tell me that they would have put me in pale pink to match Katniss but because of my 'horrific orange-red hair' they had to change my colour scheme. They put a gold head band in my hair and gold bracelets on my wrist. A gold belt finishes my look.
We finally assemble to go down to dinner. My escort goes through our evening schedule and then we go down to meet Katniss and Peeta, along with their escort, stylist and prep team. Effie arranges us in formation for our entrance. First the prep teams, then the escorts, the stylists, Haymitch Gideon and Emily. Peeta, Katniss and I, of course, bring up the rear. Music begins to play and the formation begins. We wait 15 seconds until the mentors go and Katniss and Peeta linked arms and we go into the dining room.
We descend the steps and then I am sucked into a big party. Credit to District 11 because it is a extravagant as they can get. I eat a meal and dance with multiple people. At midnight Joy finds me and tells me its time to go. I hug Katniss and Peeta because I know I will see them soon. They drag me onto the train and then I collapse on the bed and let the train rock me into oblivion.
Guys im really sorry about this chapter. Basically I wrote this chapter on my phone and it was like 3000 words long and I saved it like 10 times. I went to charge my phone and then I went back and it hadn't saved. So I went onto my computer and finished writing it and then my computer TURNED OFF before I could save it. So it wouldn't turn back on and I tried to use my dads laptop but he left it at work for over Christmas. And then I went back and wrote it on my phone again so im really sorry is this chapter is bad. If anyone knows anything that will stop my phone doing that leave a review to tell me cause im going crazy. Plus as well, its like 3;30 in the morning :D Anyway if you liked this chapter leave a review I guess?- Skywitch xo
