"Now welcome our lovely victor from district 6.....Grace Johnson!" Caesar yells into his microphone definitely Waking anyone up if they drifted off

I walk in and up to Caesar giving him a quick small hug then standing in my spot smiling a little at the crowd. I stand straight with my arms folded behind my back, Don't want to give off the surprise so soon.

"Hi Caesar, it's very nice to see you." I say smiling to him. I did kind of miss the nice bubbly man he is.

"We all missed you very much over the last.. what has it been 7-8years?" He asks me and the crowd.

"I think around 8ish years." I say

"Very much to long. Well now Grace I've heard that you've met someone new that we haven't heard about? Would you like to tell us something about him?" He asks questioning me

"Oh well he is a very kind, selfless man he's very handsome and has the prettiest of eyes, his smile is breathtaking and his laugh is the best sound I've ever heard in my lifetime." I say while looking at the camera, Caesar and my shoes at the end, a little embarrassed.

"Well Ms Grace it sure seems like you love him. How long have you two been dating? I thinks we all want to know. Don't we folks!?" The crowd claps and yells with agreement.

"Well me and him have been dating for over 5 years now and he just asked me around a few weeks ago to marry him." I say smiling big and showing the beautiful ring to Caesar and the camera so everyone can see.

"Well that's one of the most Gorgeous rings I've ever seen. Well you know what they say, a gorgeous girl deserves a gorgeous ring!"

"Now Grace I think we're all wondering now, who is your special someone? Who are you infatuated with?" He asks whispering into the microphone

"Finnick Odair." I say smiling giddily at Caesar.

I look up to see Finnick grinning down at me with his awfully gorgeous smile.

"Well that's a plot twist!" Caesar yelled over the crowd. Caesar moved his microphone and whispered in my ear "why don't you go to your spot Ms Grace and congratulations, hope I'm invited." He says smiling

I walk to the stairs smiling to the crowd. I walk over to Finnick giving him a sweet kiss then walking to my spot . Now that made the crowd three times as loud as it was before, people were yelling, screaming, crying, clapping. It was obnoxious.

The other interviews flew by, most of the time I was looking and fidgeting with my ring. It was the best gift anyone has ever gotten me. Peeta and Katniss went with baby bombing thing at the end, Katniss is now 'pregnant' isnt she only like 17? Katniss showed off her beautiful mockingjay dress that I know made snow have his daily temper tantrum, Peeta comes up and hugs Katniss before everyone joins hands and held them up. The lights went out making the capital citizens scream.

Everyone slowly went back to their rooms, but before I can reach mine I got pulled off to the side. It was Haymitch, district 12s mentor.

"Grace I need you and the morphling to come to the roof top at midnight. It involves the mockingjay." He says before walking away. I then walk up to our level trying to find Mr morphling somewhere. I finally find him curled up into a ball in a corner talking to himself.

"Haymitch wants us to come to the roof at 12 for a mockingjay meeting thing. You need to come." I say before walking off into my room.

———

It's finally 12. I left early so I wouldn't get side tracked or anything. I finally get to the roof to find almost everyone there. Districts 3-11. Finnick is off chatting away with Joanna, I decided to go over. Me and Joanna have always been kind to one another.

"Oh why isn't it your beautiful fiancé Finnick, I didn't think I would have to hear about your engagement on tv!? I thought we were besties!" Joanna says sarcastically

"Sorry Joanna, finnick didn't tell me until it was too late, I couldn't stop him." I say laughing

"So do you guys know what this whole meeting is about, maybe our star crossed levels are hosting a gender reveal." Joanna says crossing her arms over her chest

"Too bad I didn't dress for the occasion." Finnick says wrapping his arm around my waist. I look up to smile at him to only see him smiling down at me to. "You guys are gross." Joanna says rolling her eyes and walking away

"So you think I'm dashingly handsome with an amazing laugh and smile?" Finnick asks grinning to wide

"Oh be quiet." I say laughing and walking away to where everyone is waiting for Haymitch to speak.

"Ok everyone come on we don't have all day. We are discussing the mockingjay plan. We need to keep Katniss alive, to keep her alive we need to keep Peeta safe. But Katniss is our only hope to stop the hunger games, to stop the killing and to stop snow. Everyone who doesn't agree can leave but if you tell you won't even make it to the games." Haymitch warns

I search for to see if he is onboard with this, I finally find his face and I can instantly tell that he full heartedly agrees with Haymitch. Guess we're part of the mockingjay group. Haymitch then hands out a gold bracelet to Finnick telling him to put it on.

"I need finnick and mags to be with Katniss and Peeta in the start, Katniss trusts mags and Finnick you're a good protecter. Joanna, Grace, Beetee, and wirees find a way to Katniss, they've talked and have decided they trust you the most. To the others I need you to protect Katniss and Peeta when in harms way, even if it means sacrificing your life. Without Katniss alive the districts will lose hope and refuse to fight without her, we need her to live. Heavens bee is apart of the mockingjay plan and will help throughout discouraging snow not to kill you all now. I believe that's all, goodnight."

With that Haymitch picks up his glass of whatever alcohol and walks back to his room leaving the victors to absorb all the information he just blurted out in the past 5 minutes. Everyone slowly makes their way to the room sharing good nights and hugs.

I leave to my room turning to bed early because of how tired I am, but before I can sleep I hear a small knock at my door. "Come in." I yell to the person due to me being in the bathroom. I hear the door open and look over to see Finnick popping his head through door.

"Going to bed without me?" He asks placing his hand on his heart jokingly.

"Oh I'm sorry I forgot you needed a bed time story before bed." I say sarcastically while leaving the bathroom. "I just came to say goodnight, I got pulled out of roof before I could see you." He says frowning a little

"That's ok, thank you for saying goodnight but you can stay here if you'd like. I sleep better with you here." I reveal while getting into bed

Finnick smiles before taking his shoes off and jumping onto my bed and on top of me. That was probably the loudest I've laughed in 10 years. As I predicted that was the best sleep before the worst week.
