Hijacked - The Hunger Games

Chapter 27|The Revolution

My life is a complete mess.

There is still a revolution going on. And I am still the Mockingjay. So is Peeta. President Snow is still in power. Just over the Capitol, not the districts. I don't know about district thirteen. If it's still alive and well. Or Coin.

And Prim is just...

I guess I can request to meet with the Commander of four. Because I want to take part in this revolution.  I can't just lie here, draped in Peeta's arms, while others are dying for a cause. While others are depending on me, on us, to help win this war.

I carefully release myself from Peeta's grasp, trying my best not to wake him up. The sun is just now on the verge of rising. I tiptoe away and slip out from the room, grabbing the phone on the way.
I press the button that says "Commander Vosch."
He answers the phone after a few rings.

"Hello, Commander. I wanted to meet with you, but I was not sure when."

"That would be fine right now, if you'd like. Is there anybody you'd like to bring with you?"

I think for a moment. Peeta would not want me to do this. So I won't bring him with me. I guess I can tell him that they really needed me, and maybe he will join. Maybe he won't.

"No, just me. I would rather this be a secret." I say.

"Alright. I'm in the meeting office, so you can make your way down here now." He says, then hangs up.

I go back into the room to grab some clothes. I just put on a black shirt and some denim pants. I brush my hair out and put it in its normal braid. As I'm making my way down the hall, I stop to think. I don't know about this.

But it's too late. Because I'm already in the meeting office, sitting right across from Vosch.
"The revolution needs me. And I'm begging you, if you'd just let me put a group together, we could go into the Capitol. I know some people who can make propos. And Beetee Latier can broadcast them live on every television in Panem. I know some people who are willing to fight."

He sits there for a moment, staring. And then he starts to laugh.

"What?" I shoot at him, angrily.

"What exactly are you going to do when you get in the Capitol? What is the point of this mission?"

"I thought I had made my point clear. My mission is to kill Snow. And whoever is in charge of the districts can approve that, right?"

"Yes, they can. And it is unclear whether Coin or I are the leaders. But we do not know if she is alive or not. Just last night, district thirteen suffered heavy bombing. They were unaware of the attacks, so many lives were lost."

I don't know if I want her dead or not. "We can deal with that later, but right now, do I have your permission to go on this mission?" I ask, with an unfamiliar edge in my voice.

"I don't know about this, but I understand your point. And I know we can do it. So for now, you have my permission. Go get your team together."

I thank him and start to walk out of the room. I walk to Finnick's apartment.

He answers the door after I knock a few times, and smiles when he sees me. "Can I speak with you somewhere else?" I ask. He nods and we walk further down the hallway.

"We are going to be part of the revolution. And Vosch told me to get a squad together, so I need you. We are going to go to the Capitol again, and I am going to kill snow. We'll make propos on the way."

Finnick gives me a look. "You still want to do this? Don't you remember what happened last time?" He asks.

"Yes, I remember what happened last time! But I can't just sit by while others are dying for me. For the revolution. And I am supposed to be the Mockingjay. I don't have to worry about any babies. Maybe I lost mine for a reason. Maybe this is the reason."

He sighs. "Alright, I'm in."

I go to Gale, and get the same reaction out of him. But he agrees anyway. I haven't spoken to him much since I got back. And I don't think he's taking this engagement very well. We catch up on everything, and I tell him I need to tell the others.

I go to Castor and Pollux, Cressida, Messala, and the rest of the old star squad. And they all agree, surprisingly. I tell Haymitch about it. No, he will not be coming to the Capitol with us. But I thought I needed to tell him about it anyway. When he answered the door, I saw Effie beside him. I gave him a look but didn't question it. I think they have something going on, and I'm happy for them.

It's only been about an hour, and I totally forgot about Peeta. I just hope he hasn't woken up yet, because he would be freaking out. I didn't even leave a note.

I walk in the room and he is still asleep. I cuddle up next to him, and fall quickly asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Peeta starts to awaken, I rise up. His eyes flutter open, and I startle him with a kiss. "Good morning beautiful." He says. "Good morning handsome."

He gets up and heads over to the closet to get dressed.

"Earlier this morning, Vosch wanted to meet with me. He said that the revolution needed me, so me and the old star squad are going into the Capitol to kill Snow. I won't get arrested for it, because of all the crimes he has committed."

He turns around. "Katniss, please don't do this. I can't lose you again."

"Peeta, I have to. Everybody has agreed. Do you?"
I ask. He pauses. "Yes, of course I do. I can't let you go into war by yourself."
I hug him, pulling back just to admire his beauty. His scars are barely visible. His body is toned and strong. He is so gentle, yet so powerful. I know he can protect me, keep me safe.

And that is what puts him in danger.
