"We know who they are and what they do. This is what they do! And we must fight back. You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground. But do you see that? Fire is catching. And if we burn, you burn with us!" Katniss spoke on the screens as her video played for everyone, at the end it showed the Mockingjay pin she wears surrounded by flames spreading out its wings along with the writing, 'Join the Mockingjay, Join the Fight,'
Everyone cheered, Coin and Katniss walked forwards to the podium before everyone quietened down. "There is no progress without compromise. No victory without sacrifice. But I stand here with The Mockingjay to announce that our moment has arrived," Coin told everyone while holding Katniss' hand above their heads, giving everyone another chance to cheer and clap.
Katniss then stepped back, joining Naomi, Finnick, Prim, her mom, Effie and Plutarch behind her as Coin then continued to talk.
"Beetee has increased our use of the airwaves tenfold. We will broadcast this message to all the districts tonight. The Mockingjay's words inspiring everyone to join the rebellion,"
Finnick looked over at Katniss and looked back to Coin again, "Together, we will become an alliance to be reckoned with," she said raising a fist in the air.
"Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah!" they all chanted over and over, cheering.
"You don't like hearing a fight song at a funeral, huh?" Finnick asked Katniss as he tilted his head towards her to whisper in her ear, she looked at him. "The more people on our side the closer we are to Peeta and Annie," he told her, "Yeah," she nodded agreeing with him.

Naomi stood in the cafeteria waiting for Gale and Katniss to return. The doors opened up behind her as they stepped out to watch Caesar on the TV.
She stood there biting her nails anxiously while watching Peeta sat there, almost looking brain dead in a way, "She was arguably one of our favourite Tributes. And I think that's what we all find most astonishing, is that this girl was adored in the Capitol," Caesar went on, Naomi felt a hand on her shoulder, turning to see Katniss and Gale behind her. "And I think for you, Peeta, it must be particularly painful,"
He was sat there, holding a white rose in his hands as he looked down at it. "I wish I could give this rose to you, Naomi," he spoke quietly, "He's changed so much already. What are they doing to him?" Naomi turned to Katniss with tears in her eyes, she wrapped her arm around her shoulder as they continued watching.
"A sweet gesture for a girl who has been a part of such violence along side the inspiration of it all. You must love her very much to be able to forgive her," "He's shaking," Katniss said. "I don't think that I could. Unless, of course, Peeta, you think that perhaps she's being forced into doing things that she doesn't even understand," Caesar suggested, Peeta's eyes instantly darted up once he mentioned it. "Yeah. That's exactly what I think,"
"Even his voice is different,"
"I think they're using her to help Katniss whip up the rebels. I doubt she even knows what's happening. And what's really at stake. She wouldn't do it voluntarily, I know she wouldn't," Peeta said, "Now, Peeta, I doubt that the rebels will ever let her see this. But if they do, what would you say to her? To Naomi Odair, the sweet one you met in that arena before you got torn apart,"
"I would tell her to think for herself," he told Caesar, "Yes," Peeta looked into the camera before he spoke again, "Don't be a fool, Naomi. I know you never wanted the rebellion. The things that you did in the Games were never intended to start all of this. The rebels have made Katniss into something that she's not. Something that could destroy all of us. So if you have any power or any say in what they do or how they use you, please, please, urge them to stop this war before it's too late. And ask yourself, can you trust the people you're working with?" He told her as a tear rolled down his cheek, "Do you know what they really want?"
"We need to respond," Gale says.
"Thank you, Peeta Mellark, for these revelations about the real Mockingjay,"
"Did you see what he looks like?" Katniss questioned him, "I saw a coward," Gale responded blankly, he had no care in the world and no expression on his face as he stared at the two girls who hated watching Peeta suffering alone. "You don't have any idea what he's going through," Naomi snapped back at him, "I don't care. I would never say what he just said. Not if they tortured me. Not with a gun to my head," Gale shouted, "That is the same Peeta that defended you at the whipping post," Katniss told him, "No, it's not. Now he's only defending himself," Gale said back to her as his device rung, "Coin's called a meeting. We need to respond,"
Naomi clenched her fist, letting her anger get the best of her in that moment, without a thought she was swinging it into the side of Gales face, striking him onto the ground. He grabbed his face, glaring up at her as he lay there, having no idea what he'd done wrong to deserve that and wondering where the sudden aggression came from. She crouched down and grabbed him by the collar, "You have no fucking idea what it's like to be in the Capitol. You have no say in this, because you would have no fucking clue what could happen in there," she said getting right up in his face, sick of his behaviour. He had never been a part of the games, therefore he would never have a single say in matters like these.
"Naomi," Katniss spoke, gaining her attention.
"Let him go..,"
She scoffed before dropping Hawthornes collar and standing up properly, eventually giving him a hand up to his feet again before she began to head to Coin. "What the fuck was that about—" "She's telling the truth," Katniss said siding with the blonde this time as she walked past him to go into the elevator with Naomi, Gale stood in shock as to what had just happened, not even daring to utter another word.
"You coming or what, Hawthorne?" Naomi yelled at him, waiting in the elevator. He turned around, gathered his and Katniss' weapons from them getting back and got in along side them to go meet Coin.
