Luce felt useless as all she could do in the moment was watch as the dome slowly started to crumble and fall apart. Starting at the very top and spreading until the entire ceiling was gone and the outside world could be seen. Fire spreading from the tree and climbing it's way further along the brush.

She couldn't believe it, they did it. They actually did it! But Luce knew this wasn't the time or place to celebrate just yet, as she soon remembered her reason for getting back to the tree. Finnick. Pushing herself she ran as fast as she could, hoping to find everyone together so they could all escape or at least hide.

"Finnick!" She screamed into the air hoping to hear a response. Hearing nothing but the sounds of the flames and the dying arena. She continued to run around searching for him and the others, ignoring the pain she felt in her legs as she pushed herself to keep going.

She ran until the sound of shouting and incoming footsteps made her pause, turning she saw that a group of peacekeepers had entered the arena and were now making their way toward her. Guns raised and pointed straight at her causing her to grab one of her daggers in defense, throwing it at one of them. The dagger had missed by mere inches, giving enough distraction to start running again.

Peacekeepers were second on her priority list, first being Finnick. She needed to find him, to make sure he was okay. The peacekeepers continued to chase after her, threatening to shoot if she didn't stop.

She had been so caught up in trying to find her way back to the tree that she didn't even notice that they had caught up to her and tackled her to the ground. Luce cried out as she landed hard and struggled against them. Their weight overpowering hers.

"No! Stop!" She yelled at them, fighting the best she could to get free, but they were all there now and had her surrounded. One kept a strong grip on her arm as they picked her up and started to drag her away.

"Finnick!" She screamed one last time, hoping he would appear out of the smoke and fire and save her. But he never came. No on was coming. She started to worry if he'd been captured just as she had. Surely these weren't the only peacekeepers to enter. Did Johanna get caught too? What about Peeta and Katniss..Beetee?

Feeling a small prick in her neck she let out a whine and tried to jerk her head away but it was too late as everything started to get fuzzy, her eyes drooping. The last thing she saw was a hovercraft lowering to the ground before she was consumed by darkness.

As she slowly came to, she was able to realize that she was in a bed. The stiff mattress underneath giving her body no relief. Opening her eyes she blinked a few times, adjusting to the bright light above her and getting her bearings straight. Shaking off the remaining drowsiness she looked around at the room she was now in and noticed there was a body next to her.

"Luce?" The soft voice said. A voice she would know anywhere, Annie. Wait, had she been returned home? Were they back in District 4? Then again, she remembered having a more soft bed back home.

"A-Annie..?" Her eyes finally seeing straight as she looked up to the face the voice belonged to and sure enough, it was her. Annie smiled hearing Luce's voice and nodded, bringing her hand to softly cup Luce's cheek.

"Yea it's me." She replied and helped Luce sit up in the bed they were in. Looking around she could see more of where they were, and it was not home. The walls were mostly white but had a hint of grey to them. No windows and the only door looked like one you'd see in a prison. Looking back at Annie, Luce could see that her smile was no longer one of happiness.

"What's going on? Where's Finnick and Johanna? Where are we.." She asked further inspecting the room they were in and seeing nothing besides the bed they were currently on.

"Johanna is here. In the next room. So is Peeta, but he's a few rooms down." Annie tried explaining.

Luce grew more confused, and was slowly growing scared on top of it as she noticed Annie's behaviour. Scanning her face she noticed a bruise on her cheek.

"I don't understand.." Luce said staring at her friend. What was happening?!

Annie took a breath, "After Katniss shot the arrow that shut off the barrier, the whole arena collapsed. She brought it all down. Her and Finnick were able to escape, I don't know for sure but I've heard whispers they think it was Haymitch and the gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee that took them."

It hadn't gone unnoticed that she used the word 'escape'. If they were safe, then where did they put her and Annie? Johanna and Peeta?

"Annie where are we?" Luce asked again, unable to follow and just wanted a straight answer.

"Snow went crazy when Katniss did what she did." Annie told her. "So he sent his peacekeepers to every district. When they came to District 4 they took me, and only me." She paused as her voice began to tremble.

"Why only you though?" Luce frowned dreading to hear the answer.

"For the same reason they took you, Peeta, and Johanna. Because they escaped. And now their going to use us to draw them out, make them surrender. It's a war now Luce. All the Districts were attacked, and we are his pets now. Snow will do anything to get Katniss.."

Luce could feel the horror in Annie's voice as she tried her best to keep from crying but the tears still came anyways. Luce took her hand in her own and held it comfortingly. All of this because of what they did. Because they did what no one in seventy five years had the courage to do.

She could feel a few of her own tears slip down her cheeks. She was at a loss for words, and even if she did find something to say, she would never get the chance as the door suddenly opened and in walked a man in a lab coat. He turned to look at Luce and smiled, sending shivers down her spine.

"Oh good you're awake! That means it's your turn now."

Luce looked to Annie with a mixture of confusion and fear.

"M-my turn for what?" She regretted asking the moment the words left her lips. But in a way it brought a strange comfort that she would know now rather than later.

"Don't worry, we're going to take good care of you.."
