The rise of Panem

Chapter 28

"Well well," he said pacing around us. Some of us, like Mags, were ready to kill while others, like Niall, were in shock. "PEACEKEEPERS," he yelled. Soon enough they came running in. I tried to jump up, but my legs were shutting down. "Oh no," I gasp. They grab us and handcuff us. "I am going to put you in jail," he said. However, a peacekeeper tapped on his shoulder, interrupting the rest he was going to say. "Haley's boyfriend, Louie's there," he said. President snow nodded. "I got a better idea, come on," he said. We stood there, motionless. We didn't want to go wherever he was taking us. Was he going to kill us, torture us, or worse, watch our family get killed? We are lead down a long, narrow hall. We were silent until Niall opened his mouth. "Samantha, even though we are apart, even though I can't see you, I still love you, go win this thing because you are beautiful," he started to silently pray. Haley must've thought it was a good idea, because she did the same thing. "I'm sorry Louie, I tried," she said. The peacekeeper dragging us rolled his eyes, as if there heart is made of stone.

After a few minutes, we arrived in a big room with maps, weird machines, and people programming more mutts. President snow runs his greasy fingers run across Niall's face. "Ah, remember that little girl, Ivy," he growled. Niall struggled and started to curse under his breath, but President Snow stayed calm. Went to a machine, which I guess recapped all the deaths that happened in this battle, and started to type Ivy's name. I guess there were other Ivys because a lot of results came up.

Ivy Benson

Ivy Burrow

Ivy Waldorf

Ivy Reed

Ivy Witt

Ivy Miller

The list went on and on until he found Ivy Horan. He double clicked on her name and the screen goes black. Words appeared, that said....

Ivy Horan

Ripped apart by Mutts

Then it showed the recap. Samantha in Niall's lap, crying away, everyone asleep, me on the floor. Then the snarling came. The mutts jumped out. Me saving Joci, the mutts killing Ivy. Something strange went on after that. When I was singing to her, deep in the meadow played in the background. I could almost swear I could hear birds. The program ended when I buried her. Everyone was crying. Niall was freaking out. President Snow got up and looked at all of us. "So gentle, so frail, just like Louie when he faked his death," he said. "He didn't die," Haley screamed. "Ah yes, but we still have the program," he said. Haley gasped, knowing that the program will be horrifying. He typed his name and went through the list until he found his name. This one was kinda interesting, but I could tell Haley didn't think so. Louie was hiding in the corner. He looked like he was hiding from people who wanted to kill him. He jumped in a nearby mud puddle, grabbed a razor that was left on the street, and put dirt in his nails. I was surprised on how much he looked after that. He threw off his shirt and pulled down his pants. He stood there naked, but soon put on some kind of body armor. He put on his clothes over it, so nobody finds out. Then, he laid down, squirting ketchup over his chest down. After a few minutes, Haley found him and started to cry. He held her hand and recited the beautiful speech he said to her before he "died." She pulled some kind of weird string, making his chest go up and down. I was so amazed he pulled all of this off. Bye the time Haley was resting on his chest, I was wondering where he got it, because that could make me immortal. He made sure Haley wasn't looking before he pulled the string, giving the effect of staying still. Then the screen blacked out and we were all just standing there in shock. How could he have pulled something like that off? I guess for some reason, I didn't want to know. Haley was sobbing her eyes out. "My Louie bear," she screams. President Snow ignored the weird thing she said and went to Mags. She started to sweat like she lives outside. "Oh Mags, beautiful Mags," he said. He then googled the name Alex.

Time for more crying.

He finally found

Alex Slitter

He clicked on it and the program started. It started like the first two by saying

Alex Slitter

Stabbed by Rocky

What!!! That couldn't be true. I soon started to relax when I watched as Alex was running around in the shower of bombs. He ran until he saw me. I was running, cradling Ivy in my thin arms. He grabbed a knife and aimed at me. "Time to put my plan into." he said but falling in the middle. Rocky stood there, looking for me. When I thought I was in trouble, the program ended. Mags was bawling so hard I thought her eyes would fall out. Not because she had to watch her father die, but because Alex was a traitor.
