063. REMEMBER WHO THE ENEMY IS

Chapter sixty three

"Remember who the enemy is."

The door to Katniss's room opened and as it did, a duffel bag was slid through it, as the door closed halfway, the sound of running footsteps could be heard, as Katniss opened her eyes, she sat up, looking down at the mockingjay necklace, she noticed the duffel bag on the ground, as she quickly got off the bed, she went over to it, unzipping it, she pulled out a pair of boots, jeans, a long sleeve shirt and a jacket, as she quickly stood up and began putting it all on.

She then bent down, looking through the bag there was a knife, a machine gun and a shotgun, ammo, and a map inside, where as she grabbed the map and opened it up, every savior outpost was on it along with the road they had placed the explosives on, drawn in red was the mockingjay symbol and she knew this was Lincoln's map, as she folded it up and put it back in the bag, she pulled out the rifle and put it around her, as she then zipped up the bag and put it around her shoulder, as she stood up, walking to the door, she looked out it, seeing no saviors to the left or right, she turned and began running down the hallway.

She then headed down the flight of the stairs and as she did, she skidded to a stop at the doors to the common room, hiding behind the wall, she turned her head, seeing who was in there, it seemed to be a lot of the workers, as she stepped inside, none of them looked at her yet, as she walked over to one of the tables and climbed onto it, they all turned their attention to her, some even aimed their weapons.

"You all may think you know me but you don't. My group was low on food and the only way the hilltop would give it to us was if we helped them take out the outpost that was killing their people. We weren't given the full story, and because of it we ended up killing people who had family's, where two of our own were brutally killed because of it. And I'm sorry. Sor if you want to kill me, do it, because I am tired of killing Negans slaves for him." Katniss shared.

"We are not slaves!" Many voiced "but I am! I mean that's why I'm here. Why my father's here. Why my people, the hilltop, the kingdom and all of you do what he wants." Katniss shared, as they all looked at each other "we are not your enemy! We all have one enemy! And that's Negan and his lieutenants! They corrupt everyone and everything! He turns the best of us against each other! Stop working and killing for him!" She yelled, taking a step forward "from this moment forward, turn your weapons to the sanctuary. Turn your weapons to Negan and anyone who chooses to stand with him!" She yelled.

As they all then put down their weapons, they turned around and began destroying everything, Katniss hopped off the table and turned running out of there, she headed down the hallway and through the doors, turning and running off towards the woods.

Walking through the woods, Katniss soon came across the tree where Alden had been tied up against, where there were still the nail marks against it, as she brushed her fingers against them, she stepped around the tree, seeing the dry blood on and around it, hearing his painful screams in her head.

She turned around, seeing the lieutenant standing in front of her and swinging that whip, remembering how painful it was when it hit her in the face, taking her down to the ground, she stepped to the right where she had landed and remembered how she got hit again, looking down at the ground, she saw the dry blood.

Looking back to the left, she saw the road as she began heading towards it, she checked first for if anyone was there, but there was nothing, as she ran out onto the street, she headed towards the middle, putting her bag down, she took the riffle off of her as well, as she then delicately took the cover off, she started to undo the wires slowly and carefully to not set off the explosives, she then pulled the detonator out, she held it in her hand, hearing a twig snap, she quickly turned her head, putting down the detonator, she grabbed her riffle and aimed it toward's the woods.

"Don't shoot!" a boy called out, holding his hands up as he walked out of the woods, Katniss furrowed her brows, remembering seeing him with Lilian "Hunter, what the hell are you doing here?" she asked, putting down the gun, she turned, picking up the detonator and putting it in her bag, Hunter crouched down and began undoing the secondary explosives "you said we were slaves for Negan and you were right. The only reason I was there was because he killed my parents and I had nowhere else to go. Until you showed up." he shared, as Katniss looked to him "and you being out here with me is gonna get you killed. Down the road to our right is a community. It's called the kingdom. They will help you." she shared.

As Hunter turned to her "the only person I wanna help is you. And your gonna need another set of hands if your gonna wanna get all these explosives out of here before the saviors come after you and you know they will." he shared, as Katniss huffed "fine. You continue with the one's on the right, I'll handle the one's on the left." she shared, getting up and running off to the left side, she crouched down and began undoing the explosives on that end, while Hunter was working on the one's on the right, the two then went back to the middle, putting the ones they untied into the bag and going back to get the others.

Where once they were done with it, Katniss crouched down and dug through her bag, pulling out the map, she opened it up and looked at all the outposts "we have shipments of explosives to drop off and the rest.." she said, folding up the map and knowing which direction to head in, as she put it back in the bag, she then zipped it up, putting the riffle around her, she then put the bag on her shoulder, as she stood up "the rest will be used to kill whoever comes after us." she shared, walking off, Hunter followed after her.
