I sit on my bed in the hover craft drawing in my book. I start to draw the house that Flynn once told me we would have. After a while I try to get some sleep but was soon awaken by nightmares again. I spent the rest of my night just drawing in the small book I have, thinking about Flynn.
"Thirty minutes until touchdown. Prepare for landing" the lady says over the speaker I stand next to Beetee and Gale as they go over the traps "This one is designed to blind, smoke clings to the eyes. That's the application to the hummingbird trap. They scar people so they flee in this direction to what they think is safe place" Gale says "Two-tiered explosion" Beetee says "Allow people enough time to rush in help the wounded then-" Gale starts to say "A second bomb" Kattnis finishes "Right. Second one goes off here" Gale nods "I guess there are no rules anymore about what a person can do to another person." Kattnis says "I don't think snow used any rule book when he highjacked Peeta and Flynn" Gale says
I start to walk past Kattnis before whispering to her "What's going on between you two?" I ask her knowing something was up "I'll tell you later" she says laughing a bit
"Welcome to district 2. I'm caporal homes. Follow me please" a man tell us once we walk off the plane We all duck when we hear a bomb drop not to far away "Don't worry. That's how the loyal's say good morning" Homes tells us
"President Coin were in debuted to you for the reinforcements and the mockingjays. But I'm not sure anyone outside of 2 knows what we're up against. This is the Nut. The capitals headquarters for all offense operations. It's manned by both military and civilian personnel's from district 2. As you can see, the fortress lies so far against the bedruckes untouchable. Yesterday we attempted to take the northeastern gate, the enemy counter from higher up, and we were forced to pull back. We took heavy losses." "Could we create a decoy? And send troupes a gate, have more attack in another?" A man asks "Whose troupes do you propose the decoy commit?" A lady asks him "We have the mockingjays. Don't underestimate them. We could use them to arose support, they may be able to sway some of the loyalists" coin tells her "You've been underground a long time Madame Coin. This isn't like the rest of panem. It's a part where the Capitol runs deep" she tells her "And there is no sacrifice to great. We need to control the arsenal inside that fortress. Even with every district in an alliance we are outgunned." Coin tells her "I won't commit my people to a grand assault just to pillage weapons." Paylor tells her "Commander Paylor you're people have suffered just about more than anyone else in the hands of the Capitol" coin tells her "Which is way I won't condone a mass suicide" she answers "If we don't take district 2 we won't get into the Capitol" coin says "It would be enough to disable the fortress. Instead of taking it." Gale says "What do you have in mind?" Paylor asks him "Think of it like a wolf den. You've gotta fight your way in so you got two choices. Trap the wolves inside or flush them out. If we can't attack straight on couldn't we use a hover craft to strike around it, use the mountains, we hit weak spots and peaks" gale says "We could design the bomb targets and sequence using seismic data" Beetee says "Tigger avalanches." Paylor says "Block off all exits, cut off their supplies, make it impossible for them to launch their hover crafts" Gale says "Bury them alive." Paylor says "We would forfeit any chance to control the weapon" coin says "Yes but we'd face a weakened Capitol" Beetee says "There's civilians in there. They should be given the chance to surrender. Use one of the supply tunnels for the evacuation" Boggs tells them "That's a luxury we weren't given when they fired on 12" Gale says "There's gotta be a better way" Kattnis says looking at Gale "I suggest we try the avalanche but we leave the train tunnel alone. Civilians can escape into the square where our armies will be waiting for there surrender" coin says "We should have every available medic standing by" Paylor tells us "And if they won't surrender?" President of 2 asks her "Then we will need a compelling voice to persuade them" coin smiles
"What's the difference Kattnis? Crushing the enemy in a mine or blowing them out of the sky with one of Beetee's arrow, it's the same thing" Gale says "Is he stupid" I mumble to myself quietly "We were under attack in district 8. And that hover craft wasn't filled with civilians." Kattnis tells him "Doesn't matter. These civilians aren't just mopping floors they're helping the enemy. If they have to die I can live with that. No one who supports the capitol is innocent" Gale says "With that kind of thinking you can kill everyone. You can send the kids into the hunger games to keep the districts in line." Kattnis tells him
A bomb goes off in the distance and Kattnis closes her eyes for a second "It's war Kattnis. Sometimes killing isn't personal. Figured if anyone knew that it was you" Gale tells her "I of all people know that it's always personal" she tells him "Never once had it not been personal" I mumble ti myself again Then another bomb goes off and the people start to cheer. I look away from them not wanting to look at people cheering when innocent people died in there.
"Don't worry, there will be survivors" Boggs tells Kattnis and I as we walk "Let's focus on what it is you guys gotta say" Haymitch says "Now Plutarch wrote a speech-" he starts to say "I'm not saying that" Kattnis and I say at the same time "Ok didn't think so let's uh just remember you're talking to everyone. Not just the rebels not just the Capitol, the survivors in 2. You want them to lay down their arms. So you might want to experiment a little sensitivity and warmth." Haymitch tells us "Make it quick you're exposed" Boggs tells us as we walk off
We walk far enough and turn around. We watch Cressida count down for three then the camera turns on. "This is Kattnis Everdeen and Evelyn Lily. Speaking to all of the loyalist from district 2" Kattnis starts to say "Survivors! Inbound!" Someone yells "Ready! Ready! Guns up!" They yell as Kattnis and I turn around to see a train coming our way "We gotta get you back" Boggs says coming up to us "Get on the ground! Get on the ground now!" They yell pointing their guns at them "Drop your weapon! You drop it! Drop it now!" Boggs yells as someone in front of us walks around Then gunshots go off "Stop! Stop!" I yell running forward "Stop it!" Kattnis yells running with me "Hold your fire! Hold your fire!" Boggs yells "Stop! He needs help!" I yell kneeling next to the man
But then he points the gun to my neck holding my hair "Drop it!" Boggs yells as Kattnis takes a few steps back "Give me one reason I shouldn't shot you" the man says "Drop the gun!" Boggs yells I make eye contact with the man before finding my voice to speak "I can't. I guess that's the problem isn't it. We blew up your mine. You burned my district to the ground. We have every reason to want to kill each other... so if you want to kill me do it. Make Snow happy. I'm tired of killing his slaves for him." I tell him "I'm not his slave." He tells me "I am. That's why I've killed people. It's a cycle. It just goes around and around and who wins? Always Snow. I am done being a piece in his games. District 12, District 2 we have no fight. Except the one the Capitol gave us. Why are you fighting the rebels? Youre neighbors. You're family." I tell him and he drops his gun and lets go of me.
Then I stand up and Kattnis comes next to me "These people are not your enemy! We all have one enemy. And that's Snow." I yell "He corrupts everyone and everything. He turns the best of us against each other. Stop killing for him." Kattnis yells as well "Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol. Turn your weapons to Snow." I tell them and as soon as I finish someone stands up and shoots.....
