Chapter 29: Ideas, Ideas
(KATNISS POV)
Clove deserved to be happy and so did Peeta. I had no right to Peeta. I had Cato and Milo.
"Thank you," Clove smiled. "It means a lot saying that I can have him if he wants me."
I nodded and started to walk back home. This island was my new home, but it didn't feel like home. There had to be a way to change it. Maybe we could go underground. That way the island is more open. More wild. THAT'S IT! This place needs to be more wild! If we move underground, we'll also be safer from The Capital! Some people can live above ground while the rest live under. We can come above ground, but we'll have our houses and the livestock underground!
"Chris," I yelled running into the Hall Of Records.
"One moment," He said politely.
"We have leave," a man said rudely to him. "If we don't we'll die!"
"We don't have to," I chimed in.
"Yes we do," he said like I was nothing more than dirt.
"WE DO NOT," I yelled. "I thought of a way we can live here and not have to worry about The Capital! It's perfect! All we have to do is get a party together to actually do it!"
"Do what," Chris asked, getting a dirty look from the guy he was talking to.
"Go underground," I smiled. "People can choose to live above ground, but everything else that can go underground should! We can dig out houses for everyone. We can totally do it! Melody can watch Milo and I'll help dig! It's perfect! Underground, they'll never know who's alive or dead until they're found above ground! We can go to the districts and try to recruit people to help! Make multiple layers, it will work!"
"District Thirteen is underground," Chris smiled. "Effie, Cinna and the other hovercrafts are going to get rebells from Thirteen and bring them here to bring us underground, like them. That's why Ben was arguing with me."
"Well when are they going to get here," I asked excited. "I want to help!"
"Tonight," He said. "They'll be working through the night so any capital hovercrafts that come during the day won't see them. We'd love to have you. We'll understand if you have to go take care of Milo at any point or need to go sleep. It's hard to be a new mother and work."
A/N: Sorry, I had to end there because I'm having writer's block. My uncle is getting worse, needing to get drained again just a little over a week later. I personally don't think he'll live more than three months, but I hope so. His hospice nurse came Monday and she's here again today. A nurse practitioner (call-lean) is here too now for the meds aspect. Yay... Anyway, I'm going to work on Chapter Thirty and write as much as I can.
Chapter 30: FILLER TITLE
(CATO POV)
I stayed up all night while Katniss was working on bringing District Fourteen underground. The girls wanted to help so they were sleeping in our bed until Katniss came home. I was worried about her down there. What if the ground collapsed on top of her?
"What are you still doing up," I heard a voice behind me whisper.
"Waiting for you," I whispered before hugging her. "I just wanted to make sure Milo didn't start crying, though the girls were ready to take care of him if he did."
A/N: Ok, I'm sorry, I can't write anymore. I'll try to post chapters as much as possible, but it's hard being back in school. If I post chapters, they'll be short. Anyway, I'm sorry. Enjoy this for now and I'll try to write more and post another chapter by the end of the week.
