Panem

The Uprising: Part Two

The Capitol's Train Station, Day before anniversary, Gaines and Latier

Well, here we are, back at hell. The Capitol looks really festive, with brilliant colors. The streets are packed with people that are using very different palettes of colors. A lot of them have changed their hair colors, skin colors, making them look like freaks. We are greeted by a servant in the Capitol's Presidential Palace. President Coin receives us and she shakes my hand. But, when she does, she puts a paper in my hand, and in the hands of James. I know that she is desperate and wants to tell us something. We go to our rooms, and I open the paper. 

The paper says:

The Hanging Tree. Remember the song so you know where to find me. And of course I remember. The Song, is the one that I wrote to her six months ago. We were in the Palace's Labyrinths until we got to a nasty looking tree. James was with us and the guy that has a funny last name. Heavensboot or Heavesnssake. Oh Wait is Heavensbee. We were there and a story came to my mind. 

These two lovers, are finally getting separated by death. The nasty looking tree, had some rope in forms of necklace. It was midnight that night and I started singing:

Are You, Are You, Coming to the Tree? 

Where they strung up a man, they say he murdered three

Strange things did happened here no stranger would it be

If we met, at midnight in The Hanging Tree

After that, Elizabeth starts singing:

Are you, Are You, Coming to the Tree?

Where the dead man called out, for his love to flee

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in The Hanging Tree

Then, Heavensbee sang:

Are you, Are you, coming to the tree?

Where I Told You to Run, so we'd both be free

Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be

If we met at Midnight in the Hanging Tree

Afterwards, Latier sang

Are You, Are You, Coming to the Tree?

Wear a Necklace of Rope, side by side with me

Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be

If we met at Midnight in The Hanging Tree

After that, we wrote the song and promised each other that if anything happened to us, we would sing it. In this case, Coin is in grave danger. 

District  13, James Heavensbee

- I GOT IT!!!! - I Said

- I created this song six months ago. It is called The Hanging Tree. That is the perfect song to distract the Capitol with the Jabberjays. 

- Sir, that song is perfect. 

- I know. Let's get to work. 

- Senator Heavensbee, Sir. The Underground City has been completed. If something happens to District 13, we will be saved. 

- Thanks Officer Boggs. You are dismissed. 

Latier, Gaines and Coin, The Hanging Tree, Midnight

- Elizabeth, what is happening? - I say

- Jayson, things are getting out of hands. I overheard Snow that he has a special surprise for all the Senators that arrive. I saw that he had a vial, and poured it in some kind of drink. Just watch out. I'm escaping tonight. District 13 will infiltrate the Capitol with the other districts. Snow will attack anyone who overpasses him. I am scared to death. But I can't die. I'm Pregnant. 

- Elizabeth that is so cool. I'm happy for you and your husband - says Latier.

- Yes but please, leave the Capitol immediately. If you don't, you will die.

- We can't leave Elizabeth, Snow will suspect.

- Well, don;t drink what he has prepared. Imitate that you drink and fake that you die. When he is gone, escape to Thirteen or to your own districts. But mark my words gentlemen. From tomorrow and on, a Dark Age will cover Panem. Snow will rise but not with th Senator's in his counterpart. So, he will kill to rise. Beware.

The warning that Elizabeth gives us, makes my hair stand, when suddenly, we hear an explosion in one of the streets close to us, sending the alarms on and that is when the screaming starts.
