I enter the train, scared to death, as I go to my car, unpack my things in the drawers, and change clothes. The trip to District Four is three days from the Capitol. The only thing that crosses my mind is how my people reacted to the announcement and what are they're gonna do. I'm scared of a revolution or a civil war that destroy us and divides us once and for all.
I stand in my cart, already changed my clothes, and see the draft in top of my desk. It's three o' clock in the afternoon and my stomach rumbles. In that same instant, Jamie Odair, my district's best chef, enters my car:
- Senator Gaines, what do you want to eat in this fine afternoon?
- Chef Odair, I miss the seaweed rolls and the magnificent lobster that you always prepare for me back home.
- Don't worry Senator. I will make the food you asked. It will be ready in one and a half hour.
- Thanks Chef Odair.
As the Chef closes the door behind her, I lay down on my bed for quite some time. I just remember that, I dreamt of a beautiful bird. The bird was caught in a circle and was holded by strings. Then, the bird caught fire, and burned the lines and the circle, but the circle didn't break. After some time, the bird spread it's wings, the circle broke and it got liberated. I have never seen that kind of bird before. It was like a genetically modified mutation from a Jabber Jay and a Mocking Bird. Suddenly, I woke up with the smell of food, and I knew that one and a half hours were up.
- I'm sorry to wake you up Senator Gaines.
- Don't Worry Chef Odair. Thank You.
As I eat, I turn on the Television. Nothing new. Just a repetition of the President;s Message. Suddenly, I here a disturbing message from the Science and Nature Department of Panem.
"Finally, after a long period of time, we have created a successful mutation of a Jabberjay. For those who don't know, the Jabberjay is a weapon that the Capitol will use if necessary. The Jabberjays are birds that copy a speech, songs, and long conversations. If a war happens, this will be the mechanism will be using to spy".
- What a bunch of idiots - I think. Suddenly, realization strikes. My dream. The Mutt between the Jabberjay and the Mockingbird. What does it signify. My day dream is interrupted when Senator Latier, enters my cabin with the color of his face flushed.
- James, are you feeling okay? - I asked
- No, not really. Did you hear what the scientists have said? That is part of the draft.
Of course you moron, you forgot the draft - I think
- Senator, could you tell me exactly what was in the draft? I only read the part of the government.
- We will go through it page by page Senator Gaines. You will be surprised and will understand why I arrived like this to your cabin.
I'm really scared of what we could find out, but I think that, when we read, this will confirm my theory. Snow wants to take over Panem.
