I was sitting in the bed in the jet and Gale sat beside me, "go away Gale." I said and Gale just put his hand on my leg, "just hear me out." I turned to him, "you tried to... I can't even say what you were trying to do. Just leave me alone," I said then Gale held me down by my thigh. "Let go of me," I said, and he turned to me, "I bought her back doesn't that mean anything to you."

I pushed his hand off me, "I can't trust you Gale. Every time I'm venerable you try and kiss me. I can't trust you and honestly I don't think I even will again." Gale frowns, "Katnip." I shook my head, "please just go I don't want to be around you anymore." 

Soon we were in district 2, and we were talking about the nut and how to get the people out and all I heard was how to kill everyone in there, but I remained stone faced not showing my emotions. Then we decided on a plan, and I watched the hovercrafts lift then shoot the mountain and Gale walked over to me, "killing is not personal." I turned to him then back to the mountain, "with thinking like that you can send children into the Hunger Games to fight to the death."

"Killing isn't personal you out of all people should know that" Gale spat, and I turned to him, "killing is always personal no matter who it is." The hovercrafts bomb the mountain, and we all went to the train tunnel ready. Cressida was there and we had the camera rolling but before I could get much out the train came. When I saw all the people getting off and pulled onto their knees at gun point, I had to do something. "STOP! Stop his hurt!" I ran over to the man then he pulled a gun on me and pressed it into my neck and for a second, I thought about how Johanna will react when her tattoo goes grey.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you," a man spat, and I looked up at him. "You have every reason to shoot me. I blew up your mine. You blew up my district. I am done killing Snow's slaves for him. 2 and 12 we never had anything wrong between us. We were neighbours, brothers and sister. I am not your enemy, and you are not mine. We are not your enemy. So, kill me I am done being a piece in his game. But just know you will never win. The districts never win because we are too busy fighting each other to see who the real enemy is." The man dropped the gun and I turned to the cameras pointed at me, "we all have one enemy! And that is President Snow! He corrupts everyone and everything! He turns the best of us against each other! Stop killing for him! Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol! Turn your weapons to Snow!"

Just like that I heard a shot and I fell backwards and was having trouble breathing then the world went black.
