The Rebellion

Visit to District 12

Katniss's POV:

The ash spreads around as I walk through the ruins of my district. Tears build up in my eyes as I know this is all m fault. I kick burn wood out my way and jump over citizen's bones. I'm glad that not all of them are small, as in children's bones; even though I found a couple earlier. I happen to find Lady and Buttercup's bones lying down by the ruins of my Victor's house. The bakery where Peeta's family used to work in is completely destroyed. I walk past my old house in the Seam. Gone. I catch Posy standing in front of her house throwing burn wood out of her way; searching for something. I walk up to her and put my hand on her shoulder as she stands back up with a stuff bunny covered in ash.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly.

"Why should I be?" Posy says as she turns around and looks up at my eyes. "This is all my fault."

"No it's not." I say. "It's mine. If I hadn't blown up the force field. . . they all be alive."

"They could've let us come back here sooner." Posy says as she seems to start to cry. She walks away from me and almost trips on rubble. She's right; District 13, where we live now, could have let us come back here sooner bu they wouldn't let us. That is until Plutarch backed us up and they finally insisted we go. It has being a month already and the Capitol searches for us. In a month, all we've done is try to heal ourselves. My hair has grown longer but I got it cut and I've grown inches; I'm almost as tall as Finnick and Posy is 5'5'. We both walk to where the hob used to be. We find the ruins of the Justice Building, houses, orphanage, and the train station. Me and Posy walk back to the Seam where the hovercraft is parked and Gale waits for us.

"Better now?" Gale asks us. Me and Posy nod without making eye contact and walk inside the hovercraft. My head spins and I hold on to the railing.

You okay, Katniss?" Posy asks me as I feel her hand with the bandages around her wrist, on my shoulder.

"Just lightheaded again." I say. I clutch the back of my head where Johanna had knock me down in the games.

"Come on." Gale says as he grabs me by my elbows and drags me inside to a room where a TV hangs on the wall, seats and a couch that sits against of a window. Gale sits me down on the couch and Posy drops herself next to me and lies down her head on the side of the couch. Gale sits on a chair across from us.

"Is it really that bad down there?" Gale asks us.

"You were down there, you saw, Gale." Posy says.

"But I didn't explore like you did, Posy." Gale says.

"You still saw." Posy says almost in a whisper.

"Whatever." Gale says as he rolls his eyes.

"It is bad." I say.

"It'll be okay. They're were a lot of survivors." Gale says.

"Like 30% out of 100." Posy says as she lifts her head and rubs he wrist. At least her arm is okay. They took her off the sling about 5 days ago a long with Gale but her wrist wasn't completely healed so they covered it in bandages. Posy told me that she broke her arm when she and Finnick were attacked by beasts in the six to seven section at the arena. I was told that tomorrow were going to see the games so Posy will gain her memory back. Deep down, I don't think that's a good idea but Posy keeps insisting.

"Better than nothing." Gale says.

"Now I can say 'Whatever'." Posy says as she rests her head back on the side of the couch again. Gale rolls his eyes at her with a playful smile that lifts up my moods a little. I look out the window and notice the hovercraft is already moving.
