Mockingjay

Chapter 2

"Haymitch just get out!" I'm screaming now. "Stop playing games with me I'm tired of all these games!" Haymitch has a look of deep sadness in his face and he says " I tried Peeta, I really did." Before I can say anything he quietly gets up and leaves the room. I scream as loud as I can until I feel pain in my lungs. All the anger that has been building up inside me from the start of the Hunger Games all the way until Katniss being captured was released. I hated the capital, I hated Snow. He would die, I would be the reason he dies.

I look out my window and see the beautiful lush green trees that are usually found in District 12 but I can tell that we are not close to my home. Staring at the forrest only makes be think of Katniss so I quickly look away. I just want to go back to 12. As we lower closer and closer to the earth I begin to wonder, Why aren't we going back to 12?

The hovercraft lands and Haymitch walks into my room. "Come on Peeta." I almost decide to ignore him but I get up anyway and walk down the hallway and on to the runway. A dark skinned man is standing up ahead, holding a gun to his side. " Soldier Mellark, My name is Boggs and Welcome to District 13."

I just stare at him for a moment. Why is a person that I have never met calling me "Soldier Mellark" then saying that we are in District 13. I laugh and say " District 13 is gone." His lips curl into a grin, " District 13 is very much here and doing quite well if I might add."  Plutarch is standing to the right of me with Haymitch on the left. They have straight faces on. Why is no one else questioning this?

Finnick strolls out of the hovercraft. "Why don't you come inside." I follow the group indoors and we enter a large elevator. The elevator descends down into the earth. Even though I have about a million questions on my mind I don't speak a word. The elevator finally stops and we walk out into a big room with people walking by all dressed in the same gray uniform.

As we walks through the hallways I begin to notice that many of the people here look similar to the everyday people in District 12. It's an odd observation so I push it to the back of my mind. I have bigger problems anyway. "Okay Soldier Mellark before you meet our president I need you to talk to someone." Boggs opens a steel door and sitting at the end of a long table is Gale.

I walk in and the door is shut behind me. "Do you know?" I whisper. He solemnly shakes his head. " We are not here to talk about that though." I take a seat at the long steel table. "So then why are we here?" I question. " Peeta, District 12 is gone."
