A/N: Enjoy this chapter! Not much else to say...
(CATO POV)
District Three was complete surrounded by an electrified fence dome! There was no way of getting in or coming out. The five of us tried to convince the pilot to land and let us explore to try to get in and out, but he refused and brought us home. We had to be able to do something. Somehow, we had to be able to get in and out.
(KATNISS POV)
After the upset about District Three, everything was different. Four, Five and Six, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten were easy to get supporters from. Eleven was already having constant battles with the Peacekeepers, so instead or taking away forces there we helped for a while.
Fighting and killing Peacekeepers was so simple, but I felt bad. I didn't want to cause more bloodshed than needed and it felt like there was too much bring shed.
(CLOVE POV)
The under ground living spaces were being expanded constantly. We needed a bigger daycare, we needed more housing, we needed a bigger dinning hall, everything was too small!
About two weeks after collecting rebels, we were finally making another commercial.
(KATNISS POV)
"Rebelling is worthless because you will all die." President Snow was saying. "People are being killed every day because they do not know how to fight and the Peacekeepers are trying to do just that, keep the peace."
"If Peacekeepers were only trying to keep the peace then they wouldn't be killing hundreds of people," I said angrily when Marvel turned the camera on. "District Eleven is in a constant blood bath trying to save what's left of their district! District One is afraid to leave their homes at night with the fear of being publicly whipped! District ten is being starved! Don't you see what's happening?! They're making us fight against not just them, but time and ourselves! District Twelve was bombed and all they did was mine coal! We didn't stand a chance in the games and we didn't stand a chance fighting because we were the underdogs! The rebellion is where the underdogs get the upper hand, where we can do anything, including end Panem! Life here isn't easy, so we have to make it that way! Fight or not fight? How about live in constant fear or do what's right! Join the rebellion!"
(CATO POV)
"Tomorrow we have to do it," Maggie said. "If we don't strike soon, they're going to be able to defeat us! Tomorrow at dawn, we're going to The Capital. Tomorrow at dawn, we fight."
Her words kept playing in my head as I tried to get some sleep. Soon, Katniss and I would be back in The Capital, fighting and killing anyone who got in our way. Soon, we would be fighting for the safety of everyone, for freedom from the games.
(KATNISS POV)
I opened my eyes and saw the sun starting to rise. I knew we only had a couple of moments, so I closed my eyes tight and mentally got myself ready.
"UP," I heard Maggie yelling down the hall. "IT'S TIME TO FIGHT! UP! IT'S TIME TO WIN! UP! IT'S TIME TO MOVE! IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME!"
I almost literally rolled out of bed and got ready. I didn't want to fight, but I had to. We had to go today because Maggie said so and we already had the hovercrafts here.
(EFFIE POV)
I smiled as girls ran onto my designated hovercraft. Girls and boys were separated because we had to make them look like Capital citizens, which meant changing.
"Alright ladies," I said standing on a seat. "Quickly change into one of the dresses in the buckets and put on a wig! Colors have to match so match them well! We don't want anyone to suspect us of being rebels!"
"Before you change, come up front for a quick spray to color your skin," Katniss called. "It's not permanent and will come off in your next shower, but Capital citizens have colored skin as well as crazy clothes!"
"Not everyone though, so not everyone needs skin paint," I smiled at Katniss.
(CATO POV)
Some people were getting their skin painted, but everyone was getting ready. We were really looking like Capital Citizens now. Effie and Cinna were allowing us to stay in their homes for a short amount of time, until noon when we strike.
"Alright everyone, follow me and stay close," Cinna said as we started to land. "And, whatever you do, act natural! Don't make eye contact, but hold yourself tall. You are a high end citizen of Panem!"
(KATNISS POV)
We waited until the doors open and we followed behind Effie and Cinna. For a minute, we got separated and no one knew were they were. We acted natural and just kept walking forward until we saw then again. It took about ten minutes to walk from where we were dropped off to where they lived. Lucky for us, they lived right next door to one another.
Inside the hovercraft, we were numbered off. Ones will be with Effie and twos will be with Cinna. The numbering started with me on the girl's hovercraft and Cato on the boy's. The idea of having to kill innocent people made me feel sick, but I pushed the nerves aside because it was the right thing to do.
(DIAMOND POV)
I smiled as I watched Milo and the other kids playing quietly or napping. Most of their parents should be in the capital, fighting to keep them safe from the games. The others had sadly lost their parents before we had gotten to their district, which is why I decided to stay in the daycare with them. The kids without parents are the ones who need people to love them and who better to do that than other kids in their shoes and someone who had to raise her sister on her own.
"Di," I heard a little voice ask.
"What's wrong Lily," I asked.
"I just wanted to say thank you for staying here and taking care of us," She said quietly. "It's not easy to take care of a bunch of kids."
"No need to thank me," I smiled. "I actually asked to stay with you guys because no one deserves to be alone or with someone who wouldn't treat them the same as other kids."
(MELODY POV)
I picked up one of the rabbits and pet it. It was almost noon and soon Katniss, Cato, and Prim would be fighting The Capital in the place they knew. I worried about Prim because thirteen and afraid to hurt a FLY until Katniss left for the games. I was worried about Cato because I almost lost him once and I couldn't bare to see Milo and his other child grow up without a father like me. Mostly, I worried about Katniss because she was pregnant with my niece or nephew and refused to listen to anyone who told her to sit down or relax. My family was strong, but they had no idea how much their being gone worried me.
(KATNISS POV)
We watched the seconds tick by on Effie's wall clock. I took a deep breath as we started to count down the final seconds. Tick, ten seconds. Tick, tick, tick. Seven left. Tick, tick, tick, tick. One last quick deep breath. Three, two, one. The clock struck noon.
"FOR FREEDOM," Maggie yelled as she opened Effie's door, army behind her.
A/N: DUN! DUN! DUN! The fight had begun! What do YOU think will happen?
