    As of now, we've been on the is train for about four hours, but it feels like years. It takes about seven and a half hours to get to the Capitol. We're closer but still so far away.
    I look out the window from the same seat I sat in for my first games. I see a district. Large mason factories.   
    "District two, masonry," I say.
    Almost immediately a thought comes into my mind. Not of something or the Victory Tour or even the rebel plot. But of someone. Not Brutus or Enobaria.
    Gale, I think.
    "Gale! Stop the train," I say.
    Almost as soon as I say it, the train comes to a halt. I'm out of the train in seconds. It's cold, freezing even and I don't have a coat, just my mockingjay suit and my weapons.
    Somewhere in between the town hall and the Victors Village in Two, I spot Gale and He's not alone. I quickly get into position to shoot. I load the bow with a regular arrow. I almost let it fly when I see Paylor, Plutarch and Johanna sharpening their weapons and Gale and Beetee talking about something. I relax the bow string and run over to them.
    "Gale! Johanna! Beetee! Paylor! Plutarch!"
    Plutarch comes over,and he doesnt look very happy, to me and tells me something that shaddered me.
     "There's gonna be another hunger games."
    "Why? That was the whole reason why we over threw President Snow! Plutarch, are they gonna use my kids for their stupid games?"
    Plutarch looks shocked. "What are you talking about 'your kids'?"
    Gale, Johanna, Beetee, and Paylor come over and stand behind Plutarch.
    "Peeta!" Gale shouts.
    I mumble "That's a first," under my breath.
    I turn around and Peeta and Haymitch are approaching me. Peeta says, "A Capitol hovercraft took our kids," as he and Gale hug.
    "I'm sorry what did I miss while Peeta was in the Capitol and I was in 12?"
    "That's beside the point,"says Beetee, "Your kids are in danger."
    "And we're coming with you," says Johanna, as she removes an explosive arrow from my quiver, to examine it.
    Honestly I could care less but I said thanks as we all headed back to the train. We stopped at a old bakery and Peeta made some bread.
    When we left from the bakery, I heard a baby cry, and so did Peeta.
    Apparently Paylor did too because she said, "did you hear that?" When we realized it was coming from the old town hall, it was too late. Peacekeepers surrounded us. Almost all in sinc, Gale, Haymitch, Peeta, Paylor, Johanna, Plutarch, Beetee and I opened fire on them. Apparently it wasn't just me who remembered the white suits weaknesses and kill shots. All of us shot in the same spot on each peacekeeper and they collapsed. One after another, until there were no more. Then, out of no where, hovercrafts came and started bombing the district and we all rushed to the train. As soon as the door closed behind us, the train pulled out. I went to the control room and put is at full speed.
    About two hours later, we pulled into the Capitol. The streets weren't filled with residents of the Capitol. The Capitol looked like it wasn't kept up; the greenery was  quite brown, you could still see where the training center was getting modified into some sort of assistant living facility and hospital. However, all of the damage from the rebel forces had been cleaned up. I looked to my left and saw, faint but clear, signs of the newest President of Panem, President  Cornelius Vanderbilt Graham. Paylor backed down but this, retarded, idiotic freak, wants to pu the games back in order. Now it will be all kids from any district along with 15 kids from the Capitol. The kids are ages from newborn to 19 years of age.
     I walk up to it an see that if the parents want to sa've their kids they must volunteer in their place.
     I turn around and Peeta said he read it. I fell to my knees and sobbed and just managed to get out the phrase, " Ladies and gentle men, let the 77th hunever games begin!" When I'm hit from behind.
