KATNISS POV

"Why hello, my dear Miss Everdeen"

"It's Mrs. Mellark"

"I don't think so" Snow retorts.

"Yes. Yes it is. Now why are you here?"

"Oh, lets not get into that right now, First let's go to the study.  Shall we?"

I sigh and follow President Snow and his posse of PeaceKeepers to the study. 

We arrive at the study the PeaceKeepers leave with a big Clank of the 100 year old door.

"Well, Miss Everdeen let's get down to bussiness, shall we?"

"Fine" I sigh.

"But, before we get down to business, can you make a promise yo me?"

"Ha, what 'promise' will I be agreeing to?"

"Well my colleagues said that you were going to be difficult.  Will you be difficult?"

"Well, it depends," I say with a huge grimace on my face, knowing this will tick the president off.  

"I was not asking, Miss Everdeen, I was telling." He said raising his voice and getting inches from my nose.

I have to decide what to do, their are no PeaceKeepers in here so I could run, or I could stay and fight.  I fumble my fingers around until they find the duct tape on the desk.  I rip a small piece off, that is big enough to fit over the presidents mouth, and I slap it on his mouth.  

He realized to late to react.  I pick him up and throw him on the desk, which breaks.  I am thankful that this shabby house is sound proof.  But I still didn't want to take any chances with him screaming, so that's why I put duct tape on his mouth.

Snow is on his feet.  He rips the duct stape off, and punches me.  That really hurt! But, I must keep fighting.  I run over to the broken desk where their are three pairs of sissors.  I grab a black pair and throw it at Snow.  It lands right in his arm, and he winces. 

He doesn't hesitate to run to the book shelf.  I wonder if he knows that's where we keep our sword.  He must because he tears the books off the shelf until, behind all of the books, he finds it.  

President Snow slashes the sword at me, which leaves a huge gash on my back.  I yelp out in pain.  No time to be in pain, this means war!

I'm sure now that their are cameras in this capitol made house, since he knew where we hid our sword, but did he remember where we hid our bow and arrows? He must.  I know that when he runs over to the air duct vent, we hide our bow and arrows in their.  But, in order for him to reach his goal, the bow and arrows, he must run by me.

 He sprints.  I punch him in the gut.   That slows him down enough for me to jump on his back.  He slashes his sword at me, but misses.  I but his hand, and that makes him drop the sword, with a loud clunk.  I hop off his back and start throwing punches at him while, in return, I get a hand down my throat.  He pushes it down my throat slowly to increase the pain, I think.  His hand can't go down any farther.  He slowly pulls his hand up, making sure his nails do irreparable damage.  He does this so effectively and so swiftly, I can't even scream out in pain.  

He gives a grim smile and punches me.  I try to scream, but nothing comes out of my mouth.  He than saw a loose  floor board on the grond, and picks it up with ease.  He hits me in the gut with it, and I fall on my back.  Snow then runs over and undoes the nails in the floor board.  

He drags me over to the wall, Snow stands me up.  He then nails my clothes to the wall, so I have no choice but to stand their and watch what's going to happen.  He undoes the air duct, pulls out the bow and arrows, and then draws the arrow back.  His target is clear, Snow wants to shoot me.  But, i'm sure he doesn't know how to use a bow and arrow, so I doubt that I will get hit.
