LILITH stirred and opened her eyes. The blinding light made her close them quickly. She eventually peeled them open and looked around. She was in a white lab muchlike she had been in after her games. She sat up as a nurse walked in.
"Hi, Lilith. You're okay, you're in the Capitol," the woman smiled.
"What happened?" Lilith's voice was raw and her throat scratchy.
"The arena collapsed. You're lucky we got you out in time."
"The Peacemakers, they- they shot me."
"It was only a mild tranquillizer," she replied. Lilith sat up carefully and the nurse assisted her.
"How long was I out?"
"Lucky for you, you weren't hurt too badly so you were only out for a few hours. We healed your cuts and wounds and gave you sedatives to help you sleep," Lilith nodded. The door opened and Snow walked in.
"Hello, Miss Viper. I see you've recovered."
"Where's my brother? And Finnick and Johanna?"
"Unfortunately Mr Odair and Mr Viper were misplaced in that awful display in the arena. So was Miss Everdeen. Do you know anything about that?"
"I haven't got a clue," Lilith lied. She wasn't going to reveal the fact that she knew they were planning a rebellion, even though he would probably figure it out.
Snow nodded, "Well I hope you come to your senses and tell the truth otherwise we will have to take action. Good day, Miss Viper."
"Mrs Odair," Lilith corrected. Snow stopped and smiled before continuing out.

Finnick gasped as he woke and panted, remembering what had happened in the arena. He pulled the oxygen mask from his face and heaved himself off the table he was laid on. He stumbled towards the door and it opened.
Inside was Plutarch Heavensbee, Haymitch, and Jackson who looked pissed, "What's going on?"
"Finnick. Sit." Haymitch said.
"What's going on?" he repeated.
"You, Jackson, Beetee, and Katniss were rescued from the arena," Heavensbee informed.
"Where's Lilith? And Johanna and Peeta?"
"We couldn't get to them. The Capitol got them first," Haymitch replied guiltily.
"Well, we have to get them," Finnick demanded.
"We can't. We're on our way to District 13," Heavensbee said.
"What do you mean we can't?" Finnick asked, "Of course we can. We storm the Capitol and find them."
"That's what I said," Jackson agreed.
"It's too dangerous. We'll go later in the revolution when you two are all healed. For now, we just have to pray for the best for them," Haymitch replied sadly. Finnick and Jackson stared at them blankly. Before Finnick leaned against the table in the middle with his head in his hands and longing in his heart.
