private session

Katniss' POV

I heard a gentle knock of my room's door. I quickly turned and slid the door open to see Finnick.

"Hey," I say, stepping out if my room and closing the door behind me.

"Beetee hacked into the Capitol's camera system and we have access to the training rooms." Finnick says, leading me to the viewing room.

"Isn't today the private sessions?" I ask, quickening my pace to match his.

Finnick nods, "It is. Beetee was able to catch the last bit of training yesterday and he thinks you'll want to see Prim's private session."

"Of course I want to, did she pick up a skill?"

"You'll have to see for yourself," Finnick smiles at me, winking as he opens the door to the viewing room.

I roll my eyes and take a seat next to Peeta, kissing his check quickly before turning my attention to Beetee.

"Finnick told me you were able to catch the last few minutes of training yesterday, what do the tributes look like?"

"Well," Beetee says, rolling his wheelchair over to the computer. He clicks and types a few things before a video pops up on the screen. He presses play before being to speak.

"Unfortunately, there's no sound on the video. So when I was able to break through their firewall, the only tributes that remained were D12, D8, D6, and the male tributes from D1 and D2."

On the screen, I can see two built males looking at Prim, Pennia, and another like they were meat.

"Who is the other girl?" I ask, pointing to the girl that is trying to light a fire.

"That is Bray, District 6." Beetee says then points to the male inbetween Issac and Chase. "That's her older brother, Bentley."

"Are they in an alliance?"

"We don't know but we think it would be a good idea." I heard Coin say from behind me.

I quickly turn to her, standing from my chair. "Does District 8 know about our plan?"

"Issac does, Pennia does not. I spoke with Issac, Glowdusk, and the escort from District 6 late last night. They are all on board." She replies, taking the seat at the head of the table.

"Why doesn't Pennia know?" I snap, crossing my arms.

"Katniss, she has a young child back in District 8." Plutarch says, pulling out a picture from his pocket. "He looks nothing like her but he looks like her father."

I take the picture from his hand and see a young boy, probably three or four. I furrow my eyebrows, did Pennia have a child?

"We are lead to believe that this is her younger brother," Plutarch continues. "That or her nephew."

"Nephew? I thought she didn't have any siblings?" I say, looking at him.

"Pennia had three older siblings; her eldest brother was 17 when he died and her other two siblings, one boy and one girl, were both 18 when they died." Coin says, looking at Katniss with calm eyes.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Peeta asks, taking the picture from my hand.

"They all died in the Hunger Games," Haymitch says.

Prim's POV

My knees bounced as I sat in the waiting room. They had just called Issac back and I could feel Penn's eyes on me.
