Rose on Fire

Chapter 62

(Katniss POV) *rewind a few min from the last chapter*
Snow smirks, "Well hello there, Ms. Everdeen, or is it Mrs. Mellark now?" "Why aren't you dead," I question him angrily. "Well if you and your idiotic rebel friends would have made a deal or something with district 2 you wouldn't be in this mess," he says, his tone trying to make him sound like this was so obvious. "If we would have made a deal or left them alone it's all the same, their psychotic, they want the hunger games back, and they want the Capitol back," I say, even though he's sick and demented its at least worth a try to get him to see the issue from the rebels standpoint. "Well now that you've killed their families and taken away their life goals you can't expect them not to be angry with you," He says making it sound like I'm the bad guy. "Well look what you've done Snow, you've killed so many people to get what you want, also by taking away the hunger games, I'm keeping 23 people alive instead of dead every year," I say hoping I have won the argument. "Also by taking away the hunger games you are taking away that one persons dreams of getting to feel victory, to feel powerful," he says.  "Yes, but don't you think 23 people is worth more than emotion, money, and fame," I ask knowing I've won. "Oh Mrs. Mellark, I feel as though I've been unfair to you this evening," he says changing the subject and smiling slyly, "they say history repeats itself, this evening I have had a few of my loyal friends of district 2 hack into your hovercraft detecting sensor and have sent a few bombs your way, you might want to say your goodbyes to your friends and mother with the next, 15-20 min." The screen goes black. I run as fast as I possible can to Paylor's office, knowing my mother  is probably clearing the hospital now stops me from worrying about Gale. I open the door to Paylor's office, finding her with piles of papers everywhere, she has dark circles under her eyes making it look like she hasn't slept in days. I exhale all the information to her all at once, my words jumbled together making it sound like gibberish. I say it again clearer, she jumps up with a new energy and presses a button on wall behind her desk. An alarm sounds, she presses a few numbers on a key pad next to the button probably to time everything. She grabs a microphone and says, "Everyone remain calm and use the stairwell to bunker number 3, this is the deepest bunker, and it can be located on maps you will find next to the entry of the stairwell," she says. Knowing everything is settled, I run to go find Peeta.
