I wake up on a table, much like the one from the end of last year's games. I sit up and look myself over. My wounds are all gone. What happened after the explosion? Did everyone die except me? Did I win? Did Gloss...

I turn and look around.  On identical tables like mine lay Haymitch and Johanna, sleeping. I growl and reach for a knife, then I notice that my weapons are gone. I sit up and rip out some tubes that were going into my arm. Then I walk over to Johanna and start furiously strangling her. Peacekeepers immediately burst in and tear me off of her. She wakes up startles and looks around and then meets my eyes and glares and comes at me, yelling.

I charge back, but the Peacekeepers hold me back and bring me into President Snow's office. He is sitting in a chair cutting a rose.

"Ah, Miss Kentwell, you've finally decided to join us." Snow says, not looking up from the rose.

"She attacked the the other patient, sir." One of the Peacekeepers said.

"Wonderful. You may leave."

"But..."

"Now." Snow finishes. Both of the Peacekeepers exit. "Well, there's no need to just stand there. Have a seat." he says, gesturing to a chair across his desk.

"President Snow, what happened?" I ask, more confused than ever.

"Katniss, Finnick, and Beetee have been taken by District 13." he says bluntly.

"I thought District 13 had blown up." I said.

"So did we." Snow huffs. "Katniss has been picked to be the face of some kind of revolution against the capitol."

"Of course." I grumble.

"According to the Capitol, Katniss has gone rogue and you are a Capitol favorite."Snow states. "We needed some of you to be against her little mission. The others are being manipulated by Tracker Jacker venom. I figured you wouldn't need to be brainwashed into hating Katniss."

"You figured right. Count me in."

"You'll need to stay here for protection. I'll have an assistant show you to your room."

"Umm... President Snow?" He looks up at me. "Was Gloss in a different room? I didn't see him when I woke up."

"He died in Katniss' explosion. You can add that to the list of reasons to hate her." I stood up in shock and ran out of the office. Katniss has murdered two of the people I loved. It was time for my revenge. I would murder the Mockingjay.
