Emily POV
A couple days had passed since I received the letter of me being a Commander.

My friends help me pack up and my mother and I are slowly on our way towards D.C.

The trip takes longer than usual.

With the trip usually taking 14 hours, and now took five whole days.

During the trip, I saw lots of rubble, debris, homes destroyed and mountains burned down.

The destruction was massive and something I couldn't control because more and more if it kept on coming before my own eyes.

On the drive my mother and I don't say a thing and look everywhere for something that we didn't have.

We arrived at the school two days early and were greeted by signs of hope and peace.

Mockingbirds were painted everywhere, even on the football field.

Also as I was heading towards the school I saw people holding up signs that said:

"We need a voice, we need a leader and we need a Mockingbird!

" We need one NOW!

The signs that they held up made me think, why would they need a leader when they already have one and who is going to this Mockingbird.

I know, for a fact that its definitely not going to be me.
