Hijacked - The Hunger Games

Chapter 11|Mockingjay

Katniss pov

"I want to be the one that kills snow." I blurt out without thinking.

"I will be the one who decides that, soldier Everdeen. After his death, I will be temporary president until a new one is elected. So far, the only candidates are president Paylor of district 8, and myself. All of Snow's relatives will be killed including a 13 year old granddaughter and two 23 year old granddaughters. Once the new President is elected, you all may move to any district you please, unless you are not pardoned to do so. However, we may have a problem. Charges may be pressed because Snow is still president. That is why we need people on our side," Coin explains.

I don't understand.

"We need you to set off the spark of this revolution." Coin says.

"I thought the revolution has already started," I state.

"Oh, you're wrong there, Katniss." Peeta interrupts. "The game is just now beginning."

"Soldier Everdeen, we need you to spread your wings, and be along side our Mockingjay."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

She wants me to be one of the Mockingjay's with Peeta. I really just got out of the hospital.

"I accept the offer," I say without thinking, and mentally slap myself.

There's no turning back now, I guess.

" We will set off to the Capitol in one week. Four days out of the week will be spent training. The other days you need to use wisely. Everdeen, you now have a new compartment to yourself, dice you have agreed to be one of our Mockingjays. You choose where you want it. You all are dismissed," President Coin says, and I'm already out the door.

I need to let this all sink in. I decide to spend this day in my compartment.

I go up the stairs until I get to my floor. I stop bye my room, which is 173, and knock on the door.

Prim answers, and I engulf her in a hug.

"I am off work today, so we can have some fun together," she says, smiling.

"Let's do that!" I say.

"Where do you want to go?" I ask her.

"I was wondering if we could go down to the basement here. It's usually vacant and we could have a picnic or something." Prim says.

I grab a blanket off the bed, and put it in a small bag I was provided with.

We head to the cafeteria and buy some food. I'm not really sure if we are allowed to do this or not, so we just sneak out the food without telling anybody or letting them see.

We decide to take the elevator down to the basement. Just because we are too lazy to take the stairs.

Once we get down there, we see that it's empty. Thank god!

I spread the blanket out on the ground, and put the food on it. We eat and talk, and have a great time.

"Prim, have you ever had a crush?" I ask her, and she giggles.

"Maybe," she smiles.

"Ooh! Who is it?" I ask her excitedly.

"It was, not is, um, um." She stutters.

"Just spit it out!" I laugh.

"Rory!" She practically yells. I fall over laughing.

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

"I don't know. I mean, you weren't that embarrassed when Peeta announced your pregnancy in front of the whole country!" She says.

I smile and remember that day. Everyone trying to call off the games. They were pissed off.

"Katniss, can you sing?" Prim asks me.

"Of course," I say.

I ponder for a moment on what I should sing. I remember an old song my dad sung to me when we were in the woods one day.

"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me."

I don't have time to finish the whole song, because she's sound asleep. I let her lie her head on my lap, and play with her hair. I've always loved how soft it is.

That's when somebody comes from around the corner.

"That was beautiful singing." Peeta says.

I blush. He heard me. "How long have you been standing there?" I ask him.

"The whole time," he says.

"Oh no. No, no, no." I say, frantically.

"What!" Peeta says.

"You heard about Prim's crush!"

We both start laughing our heads off, and Prim wakes up with a confused look on her face.

"What happened?" She asks.

"I sung and you fell asleep. Then Peeta showed up."

She nods. "Well, I'm just gonna leave now. Have fun you too, but not too much fun!" She says with a serious look on her face.

"Prim!" I yell. She maintains a serious face, but ends up laughing after I glare into her eyes.

Now thing are going to get awkward.

"You really love your sister, don't you. I can tell by the way you've treated her. Not just volunteering for her at the reaping," Peeta says. I just nod.

There is a long pause before he speaks up again.

"Katniss, I understand that you don't love me. And it's okay. You can go be with Gale. I don't care what you do. I just want you to be happy." He says.

I just give him a confused look. "But Peeta, I love you. I've loved you all along. It might've took me a while to realize it, but it's true. Whenever I kissed Gale, I never felt what I did when I kissed you. I want to be with you, Peeta." I say.

He stared into my eyes, as if trying to detect some kind of lie.

"I'm not lying."

I close the space between our lips.
