Here's the next chapter! Enjoy! I do not own Mockingjay, any direct quotes will be in italics.

Ch. 31

The Capitol is broken. Not the shiny streets with the laughing people and the sun shining overhead like they used to show us. Sure the streets are still bright colors, loud and obnoxious, but smoke rises up from unseen places and houses are deserted and glass is shattered all over the place.

I guess when I was young I had separated the Capitol into two separate things, the place where two of our own are shipped off to each year, and the beautiful place I always wanted to visit. Right now the two different Capitols have smashed into one and my mind feels as if it's in a whirl-wind.

I only half-listen to our goal, to destroy the few pods on the street, as I imagine how far away my torture chamber is. I wonder if the guards that made me so crazy and unstable are still there, doing the same exact thing to captured rebels. A chill runs through my spine, I hope no one will ever have to go through such things again.

I watch as everyone's hands go up, I don't quite know what's going on, only that soon we will be doing our mission. I know the important things, like when Gale hits the pod I duck and cover to not get killed by a bullet.

One of the camera people walk up to me and begin dabbing something on my face with rough movements, the only other person getting this done to is Katniss.

"Just some cover-up, you've had some rough nights." I haven't had the chance to look at myself in the mirror lately, maybe the lack of sleep has caused bags underneath my eyes, either way I don't see the point. We are at war, we should look tired, but I'll do whatever they tell me to do. I have to remind myself that I am lucky to be fighting.

They line us up, I'm near the back, I'm not sure why I even needed make-up if I won't really be on camera. Maybe I'll get some close ups, I notice one smaller camera just focused on me and me alone. This may make it look as if I am of importance in this mission, but I'm not, at all.

We begin to walk forward, Gale shoots the pod, we take cover, and when the bullets stop shooting Boggs says it's okay to move on. We are stopped by the head camera person, Cressida I think her name is, and told to redo our reactions.

It actually is not a solemn time, but almost a fun one as we all watch as each individual acts as if they are getting out of the way of the bullets. I even see a small smile come across Jackson's face for just one second.

"Pull it together Four-Five-One." Boggs tries to say this sternly, but it comes out with a smile in his voice and for one second everything seems perfect.

I mean obviously not perfect, perfect because we are at war with the Capitol that has oppressed us for so long and people are dying. My mind is not all there, at some points I think I'm insane. And I have conflicting feelings for a girl who seems to hate me at sometimes, but sometimes, sometimes, I see that look in her eyes like I am everything to her. And it's absolutely terrifying. So, no, definitely not perfect, but something close to it.

Because we were able to joke and smile, and even Boggs, who seemed so serious all the time, was smiling, but then after that second was gone everything changed.

The boom was loud and it hurt my ears and I felt as if I was losing control. I can't see anything, dark black, ugly smoke covers my eyes. I can't see anything.

…

I know only one thing, Katniss Everdeen is my enemy. Trained to kill me, trained to kill humanity. Is she here? Is she near me? I must kill her. She must be dead. I hear screaming and people yelling and I start to search frantically for the girl that always had a bow in her hand. I had her face memorized, I'm sure I could spot her from a mile away, if the smoke was not in my way.

Then I see her, the back of her head, such a small body for a trained killer. She's quick, but I'm strong. I grab her and force her down onto the ground. I find the large gun in my hand before I know what to do and then my arm brings it slamming down onto her face. She would've of been dead if she wasn't so quick.

Someone else gets a hold of me, but I force him into the air with the strength of my legs. I hear a snap and something red flies onto my face. It takes me a second to realize that I had just killed the man attacking me.

Two people grab me and hold onto me, but I won't go down with out a fight. I struggle in their arms and some one else cuffs my hands together. I'm thrown into a small dark room and I hear as they lock the door. I try to struggle, but I know it won't help, I begin to lose the fight with myself and pretty soon I'm falling asleep.

My last thought before I'm completely unconscious, I am the enemy, what have I done?

I really did not plan on not posting for a whole week, I'm really sorry. I don't want to turn into that person that updates once every month because I know everyone hates that! I'm really sorry, life got a hold of me this week and I just did not have time!

Last sunday after updating this I wrote something else I would be really happy if you went and checked it out, it's called Waking Up. I wanted it to be a one-shot, but I might do a couple more chapters if people want me to.

So, It's the one year anniversary of the movie! That's so exciting! Does any body have any good midnight premiere stories?

Don't forget to REVIEW on the way out! Thanks! ~boywithbreadlover
