Katniss' pov

"Okay, so what's the plan?" I ask Coin. We're all gathered around the table in mine and Cato's house.

"Well we don't have the resources anymore to just barge into the Capitol so we'll have to be discrete. Now we need to have send Arlia back into the Capitol." Coin turned to Arlia. "Don't worry, you have a back story. You'll just tell them that you got kidnapped by one of the rebels on your way to Isla's sleepover. And that you escaped from the Rebels before the big explosion. Now as for you two." She looked at Cato and me. "You will need to continue training while we devise a plan to destroy the Capitol and Snow." She got up and left to talk to Haymitch. I turned to Arlia. She looked really scared. I could understand what she must be going through. She defied her family and Snow to help us. I wasn't sure if they would buy her kidnapping story.

"Arlia, you'll be fine. Carolina will look after you if Snow or your grandmother tries to hurt you. She loves you and I'm sure she's very worried about you." She produces a small smile but at least it is a smile.

"I noticed that Coin didn't mention what Ethan would be doing?" She said

"I'm pretty sure he'll just stay here with us. Now let's get you prepped. I'm sure that you'll be leaving for the Capitol any day."


Normal pov

"What do you want with me?" I scream, my tears streaking down my face.

"Well they are many things we want with you but we're restricted by our boss' orders. Snow needs you as his bait." His hand strokes my face and I flinch away. The metal door opens and another man comes in. He immediately retracts his hand. The man comes down and I notice that it is Snow. Such a cruel, evil man.

"What do you want with me?" I spit at him.

"I don't want you. I want your sister. She's been causing me so much trouble. Once she realises that you are being held here, she will come running to save you and then I will kill her. Once she is dead, you are free to go." I stare at him in horror.

"You'll never be able kill Katniss. Try all you want. You'll never do it. My sister will come to rescue me and she'll lop your head off and then Panem will be free of you." He smirked and turned around facing a guard who was holding a camera. He pointed it at me. I knew that it was recording.

"Well Prim, plead with your sister to come rescue you. Beg her to save you." I refused to speak. He was baiting me. Once he realised I wasn't going to speak, he hit me. I held back a scream.

"Tough like your sister huh, well don't worry I'll make you scream. Jones, make her scream."

"With pleasure." I closed my eyes. I knew what was coming. I felt his hands over my body. I wanted to be strong but I couldn't. I screamed.


"Send this video to Coin. I may have destroyed her base but I can still contact her." I handed it to the man standing next to me and laughed. Katniss would be here in days and then she would die. So much for the Rebellion. I am President Coriolanus Snow and I rule Panem. No one messes with me. Especially not some girl from Twelve.


"Katniss, I think you should see this." Coin said to me. She handed me her phone. There was a video playing on it. What I saw terrified me. It was Prim. And she was being raped.

"Stop it, please. No!" She screamed as the man in the video ripped off her clothes and the man laughed. I dropped the phone. I fell to the fall and cried. My poor baby sister. I failed to protect her. I felt arms wrap around me. By the feel of his touch, I knew it was Cato.

"It's going to be alright Katniss. We'll save her."

"No it's not. My sister is being raped. I failed to help her when she needed me. Even when we save her, she will always have that memory." I stopped crying and rose. I was angry now. Snow had done this. I was going to kill him. I grabbed my bow and left.

"Katniss wait." Cato had a hold on my arm, stopping me from going any further.

"What if it's a trap? Snow could just be baiting you."

"I don't care. My sister is there experiencing things no twelve year old girl should. I'm going to rescue my sister and then I going to find Snow and shoot and arrow through his heart."

"Well then I'm going with you. You are not leaving me again. Wherever you go, I go." I turned around into his arms and kissed him hard. I was glad to have Cato in my life. I needed someone like him. We broke apart and he ran back inside. Soon he came back with his sword.

"Let's go kill Snow." We made our way of towards the Capitol and got on a train. I had no idea where it was heading but considering that we were at the last district, there was only one way to go. Forward.


"So they're gone?" Arlia asked

"Yes. They must have taken off while I was upstairs. Whatever happens now is up to them." Coin says. "The fate of Panem lies with them.

"I say we can still help them." Haymitch says. "We may not have soldiers anymore but we have one thing they granted us. Victors." A smile appears on Coins face as she realises what he means.

"Yes we can round up a small rag tag team of Victors to help on our side." Coin says.

"Well what are we waiting for?" I ask.


We've been on the train for a while. We're in the luggage compartment. By the view outside, Cato thinks we're in Nine. It's night time, so we find blanket someone's travel bag and go to sleep. I cuddle up next to Cato.

"Good night Cato." I say

"Good night Katniss." He kissed my forehead and I fall asleep. We're woken up a few hours later when the train comes to a halt. I look out the window and see passengers getting off. The station says Four. We must have travel far overnight. As I'm about to drift off, Cato wakes me up and says that we need to get off. I trust him in his judgement and we sneak out with the crowd. I decide to make our way to the beach here. It would be quiet and the perfect place to make our next move.

"Ok so how do we get to the Capitol from here? I'm sure we won't be able to catch a train. The Peacekeepers don't act the same as ours." I ask

"We just hike through the woods till we reach the capitol."

"But that could take days? We need to get to the Capitol now!"

"Katniss, just relax. We'll get for now, we need to hike through the forest and be out of sight."

"Okay" We get up and make our way to the borderline. Surprisingly, it's not humming with the energy of electricity so we climb over and make our way towards the Capitol.


Well the heat is on. I know it sounds similar to Lord Of The Rings. I realised that while I was writing that but trust me it isn't.
