When the Odds are not in Your Favor (hunger games fanfic)

The Mockingjay

Jane’s POV

“Do you know what a mockingjay is?” Haymitch asks me. We’re in the hob, the black market of district 12.

“Of course,” I reply, he dragged me out for this? “It’s a mix of a capitol jabberjay and a mockingbird.”

“You’re probably wondering why I brought you here.” He says, he actually seems somewhat sober for once.

“Yes I am.” I say angrily. I’m becoming agitated now, I got out of bed for this?

“Well, I brought you here because there are no capitol cameras here, and I have something to tell you that the capitol cannot hear.”

“And what is that?” I cross my arms and shift so that I’m putting all my weight on my left leg. I am wearing black pants with brown boots, and a thick grey sweater, high quality, made in the capitol. Only the best for the winner of the murder games.

“You are the mockingjay, Jane.”

“What are you talking about Haymitch?” I’m definitely not a bird.

“Listen closely, this is going to be very shocking and a little confusing.” I nod “district 13 still exists”

“What are you talking about, the capitol-“

“Shh, I told you, shocking and confusing, now let me finish. District 13 still exists, underground, literally underground, and they’re planning on rebelling against the capitol.” I nod. I have so many questions, but I figure I better let him finish before I ask them “you’re our mockingjay, a symbol of rebellion, you’ll make the people realize why we need to rebel.”

“I still don’t understand, why me? I’m just another winner of the hunger games.”

“You had everything taken from you by the capitol, your life destroyed, what better way to show the people that a rebellion is necessary?”

“Charlie.” I whisper, I feel a lump form in my throat, and I just want to crawl back into bed.

“So, what do you say Jane?” I hesitate at first, this could be dangerous, and it will take a while, things like this don’t just happen overnight. But then I remember that I was forced to watch my younger brother die.

“He was only twelve.” I whisper

“What was that?”

“nothing.” I shake my head. “I’m in, you’ve got yourself a mockingjay.” I smile, but it’s an artificial and forced smile, but I am confident in my decision. “What do I have to do?”

A/N: hey guys, sorry, it’s been a while huh? I’ve written this chapter several times, and I could never find a version I was happy with, but I finally decided I liked this one. I really don’t want to keep you waiting for much longer, so I’m going to try and update next week.
