The Hunger Games 2 - The Flames

Chapter 22

It was a week into the war and we were doing pretty well , the people we put as a leaders in each group we sent out were professionals in killing , killing machines more like. Dad and Uncle Gale was sent out this morning , leaving me , mum and Mark left alone back in 12 to finish off the potion , yeah I know its taken us longer than I thought but it has to work and it has to be right to kill him . We have been popping in and out of places 24/7 to get the right things ... Eventually we were done and we were heading off to the capitol to finish things off for everyone , I haven't started a war for nothing , this was for Aunt Prim and Demetrius , one Demetrius saved my life and I owe him for it and Aunt Prim , shes a role model to me and It would be nice to avenge her death , with also the people we lost during this war and the search for Aloe.

Mum and Mark put the potion we made into separate containers into different crates , once we arrived in the capitol , everything was burnt down , peacekeepers lay dead on the floor all around us , but only a few of the rebels , this means we have lost some fighters along the way but we were progressing toward Snow . "All peacekeepers are eliminated in the mansion lets head over there" Mark said as we were all armed as we ran quickly through the hallways of the huge mansion , this place really frighten me , I didn't like this place , seeing that he locked Aloe in this tiny room and had beaten him for nothing and left the blood to drip from various places on his body.  Our rebels were standing outside a huge door that was covered in white roses , "Snows inside Ma'am" a rebel said as I nodded to let me in , while behind me mum gave Mark a bottle of water and he poured the light green mixture in and shaking it to make sure the water doesn't go green at the same time and handed it over to me.

As I walk through the huge doors there were fully decorated with almost dying white roses , I saw Snow sitting there with blood dripping from this mouth , he was completely battered ...  I feel terrible but this is what I was born to do , therefore I know what he is trying to do , I could clearly see it was fake blood with just a single glimpse at the blood puddle. "President Snow" his head shot up as he began to cough , "Here's a bottle of water for you , to sooth your coughing " I gave him the bottle and walked out the room , "Where's the window" , "Over there ma'am through that door" I nod as I walk over and open it to see Mum and Mark sitting there glued to the scene on snow coughing numerous amount of times.  It took a while for him to collapse to the ground from his standing position as I stepped out the room , "Check if he's dead will  you and if he's not I want you to lock him in a smaller room with less space understand" I command to the people standing in front of the rose covered door as they nod and checked.

He was still alive , How on earth Is this possible , we did everything exactly according to the mnemonics I saw on the notes I had written on the wall in the living room , unless I had read it wrong and that potion was to make him be less powerful. "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!" Mark punched the computer table as his hand began to flow with blood as I walked over and quickly put a bandage over it "I wouldn't do that again if I was you" after saying that I walked out the room and followed the rebels into the room where they were placing snow as his new locked in location , it was the exact same room as the one he locked Aloe in , but who cares he might aswell be in there. "Make sure you lock those windows" I commanded as I walked down the halls to fully explore this mansion . "ma'am , what shall we do with him after that" , i continued to walk "Make sure all the arenas and freedom was back , if he doesnt do so then threaten him "

I walked back into the room where mum and Mark were sitting, " the potion was off , off by far - we were missing an igrediant , but i dont know what exactly that was " i inform them as i pick up the gun near the door and loaded it walking about the mansion , noticing rebel count was decreasing and more keepers were flown in and increasing by minutes , i let a shot of my gun shoot in the air stopping the fight , i turn around and got out a grenade and pulled the trigger off and thrown it into the middle , rebels fled as fast as they could , many peace keepers stood there ashtonished on my choice , the grenade exploaded - sending the peacekeepers to blow into smitherines - guts , blood and vital organs were seen everywhere , i could be the next mockingjay like mum was.

*Flashback*

Sitting in the hospital with mum , as she sat on the bed with my brother craddling in her arms - i really adored the baby Aloe back then but now i just cant stand him. Mum and i talked for ages until she brought up the story that she was the mockingjay before the games ended and restarted in my era.

"Well , when i was round 17 , i was made a mockingjay - well only to give your dad , your uncle gale and the rest immunity and saviour ,  i was the symbol of rebellion .... The one who brought an end to the games bringing you kids along."    I was only 7 at the time.

"Mum , if the games started again - who would you think the next symbol of rebellion would be and why?" i asked trying to see if iwas the one.

"Well , Amanda - sweetheart dont pannick when your round 16 or 17 years of age but i really think its going to be you , you are my daughter and you do have alot my genes i doubt this little boy has the same amount as you do - but for now if they do come back , your father , uncle gale and i will be training you for it" Mum held my hand as i nod to what she said

*End of Flashback*

"Im the new mockingjay" i whisper to myself wondering and remembering what grandma had said to me when i went to take Aloe a couple months ago , she said i was a Human Mockingjay i didnt really understand what was she trying to say , but i do recall the time when mum said she was burnt alive when she was at war with the capitol and turned into a mutt or a mockingjay? , i cant remember. Every night i tend to look at my self in the mirror and see a different person as my reflection , a girl with wings and girl with agilty and bravery - i have all that , if you take away the wings. But right now we're at war - trying to get rid of the games once and for all , if only we can manipulate snow in getting rid of the arenas. "Amanda! " a similar voice called but I ignored and continued to walk "Amanda wait up!" I pause in the spot for the person to catch up and you will never guess who It was Jake , " Look , I didn't tell you this but I kinda like you "    , I eyes opened wide as I turned to where he was now standing "Well , clearly  I have no likings for you , I have chosen one guy and that was Mark so now can you leave me alone"  , "No , you mean everything to me so no" , "Get out of my face" ..... He ... did not just do that again "YOU! ... ARGH!
