Today we actually woke up early and started to prepared for the picnic. It's the third day in a row we've tried to go. But today we're leaving early before anything can happen. We got up before daylight and Peeta decided to shower.

I told him i'd wait for him to finish and then we could get the food together. He baked fresh cheese buns last night after I went to bed, I could smell them while I was 'asleep'. I don't think he understands that I cannot sleep without him holding me.

He comes out from the shower with a pair of cargo shorts on and I feel myself blush but I look away. He chuckles to himself and pulls on a shirt before making his way towards me.

"How about you girl on fire? Got any secrets worth my time?" He whispers. It sends chills down my spine as I try and remember where I've heard that before. I shrug it off and smile at him.

"Nope. I'm an open book. You know me better than I know myself. You could probably write my autobiography." I chuckle quietly.

"That's true." He kisses me slowly. "I love you Katniss." He reminds me softly.

"I love you too Peeta Mellark." He grins widely.

"Katniss Mellark." He sighs wrapping his arms around my neck. "I like the sound of that."

"Me too." He kisses me passionately and I feel his fingers in my hair. I smile into the kiss and pull away. "Can we actually go on a date today?" I joke.

"Of course."

"I'm gonna change. I'll be down in a minuet."

After he leaves I pull out a pair of dark green cargo pants and a brown t-shirt, and my fathers worn out leather hunting jacket. I slip Peeta's locket onto my neck and make y way downstairs. As I walk downstairs buttercup speeds down them beating our small race we do. "Katniss, come here." Peeta calls through the house. I find him sitting on the couch in the living room. "The presidential polls are in." He tells me, I snuggle into him and watch the television. Paylor appears and speaks to the television.

"Good evening, I am president Paylor of district right. Tonight, my duty is to announce the next president of the brand new Panem. We are entering a new era citizens! All of you have done your part to help us in winning back a new and better world. President Alma coin and Cornelious Snow are dead because of their vile actions against the citizens. It might not have been as apparent to you of their crimes but they've both done something wrong one way or another. Anyways, the candidates for president this year where -in no specific order- Haymitch Abernathy, Plutarch Heavensbee, myself Paylor, Katniss Everden, and a write in: Violet Coin"

"Did you know that?" Peeta asks shocked.

"I had no idea Haymitch or I were in the runnings. I didn't win though." He doesn't say anything just turns his head back to the television.

"How do you know?" He asks.

"They would have invited me to he Capitol to speak." He nods.

"And now!" Paylor speaks. "The results are followed in order. Haymitch Abernathy, Myself, Plutarch Heavensbee, and seperating first and second by three votes; Violet Coin."

I sigh happily knowing it isn't me. But once her face appears on the screen, I know this poll was the least of my problems.

Peeta's POV;

"Violet Coin!" Paylor announces as the winner. Instantly my stomach churns as I've heard that name before.

"Hello Panem!" Her features are almost identical. Grayish hair, dark eyes, thin pale lips. "Hello! I am your new president! My name is Violet Coin, and many of you may be wondering where I came from. My mother, was Alma Coin. As you all know she was killed in the rebellion by someone you all seem to adore. Katniss Everdeen. My mother was a wonderful woman with amazing intentions. Never once did she use her alliance with Katniss to gain power in the government. As your president, I am making my first order of business simple. A bounty on the disgusting girl on fire's head."

My blood runs cold. No one, no one ever has been so rude to her. The screen goes blank as Katniss stares emotionless at the television.

The phone rings and I pull her with me not daring to leave her alone. "Haymitch!" I shout. "What the hell!"

"Kid, Calm down. I've sent out a squad to escort you to the train. We'll hide her here in district two with me and Effie until we can figure something out. It would be best to bring Gale along also." I sigh loudly holding her against me by the waist. Someone knocks on the door.

"Let me in!" Gale shouts. I unlock and he locks it once he comes inside. "We need to leave." Is the first thing he says. "Get your things and lets go, we need to he's to two."

"We'll be on the train." I tell Haymitch before hanging up. I push her upstairs and we each pack clothes.

"Gale, my mockingjay suit and bow is in the attic." She whispers.  He nods unlocking the large doors and running up the stairs. She throws the bags on bed and walks to me. "You have to be brave. Do whatever it takes, this woman wants me dead." She tells me with fire in her eyes.

"I know I-"

"Peeta this is different. She wants revenge, people will go to great lengths for it." I nod and feel the tears coming. "Don't cry." She says firmly. "Don't." She hugs me tight and pulls away as Gale comes back. "I'm going to change." She says before walking into the bathroom. She emerges with the black suit on and smiles. "Let's go."

We take the underground pathways her and Gale used before. We stop by the abandoned hospital an pick up a few odds and ends before hurrying to the tunnel with the train station. I watch as she walks down the tunnels with no fear in her eyes. She whispers something to Gale and he nods swiftly.

I'm scared for her, I know she's able to take care of herself. But unlike last time, she's not afraid. But then again why should she be, this random woman has come from thin air with no army or anything. The people of Panem have known Katniss longer and hopefully will side with her. "Katniss put this on." Gale hands her a long emerald green jacket.

"Is this the one I wore when pri-"

"Yes." We walk up the steps and into the train, a pudgy man who I'm guessing is the operator nods and starts the train.

"District two." Gale shouts before sitting us down in the corner. "We need to be careful about this. We can't just go running into the Capitol and kill her. This time it's different, she's the president. It's against the law."

"I killed Snow. And Coin. They where the president then. I'm not dead now am i?"

"Katniss we had an army then.!" Gale argues.

"It's been two weeks Gale, they haven't gone anywhere. The people will fight."

"Not again they won't."

"Yeah, our numbers are already thinned." I agree with Gale.

"Oh boys." She snickers. "So much to learn."

"What?" We ask.

"The games aren't over, their just beginning."
