Ophelia's hands shook as the Hovercraft landed, she was nervous; especially around the cameras.
Everybody unbuckled their seatbelts and stood up as the huge door opened, She followed the group of people out of the Hovercraft.
Dust flew around as it left them. The brunette looked around, buildings were in pieces on the ground, and the air smelled like smoke to top off the dismal place.
"Katniss, Ophelia tell us what happened here." A blonde lady said, Katniss and her turned to the camera.
"We were all standing right here, watching the games when you fired that arrow, the screen just went dark. Peacekeepers forced us into ours homes. For awhile it was dead quiet." Gale said as the two turned to him.
"We heard the trucks pulling up, filled with Peacekeepers. Me and a couple of guys pulled for the fence line." He started to walk and they followed.
"915 people made it to the fence," A crunch sound came from under her foot, she almost shrieked when she saw the skull of a child. She clasped her hand over her mouth to stop the noise. She was glad the cameras weren't on here right now, she felt like throwing up. Her knees shook as the group left her, she couldn't move.
Ophelia felt a tear run down her cheek, she wiped it up as soon as she saw Katniss turn around and jog to the girl.
"Are you okay?" She asked and she nodded.
She wasn't okay. She felt like collapsing, she wanted to be strong but everything was falling apart.
She pushed the look of horror off her face and stood up straight, Katniss smiled at her and she did the same back. She had to fake happiness or else Snow would know he got to her.

The group sat around the water as they ate lunch, a whistle made the brunette turn her head. The blonde avox smiled as the mockingjays and mockingbirds copied his sound.
"Great, now they'll never stop." Gale muttered, a small laugh came out of her mouth. When was the last time she laughed?
"You want me to sing?" My attention goes back to the avox and Katniss.
He nods and she looks away to think.
"Are you, are you, coming to the tree?" She sang and Ophelia's eyes widen, her mother had always sang that song when she was gardening.
"Where they strung up a man up a man they say who murdered three." She piped in making Katniss smile.
"Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree." They continued together.
"Are you, are you, coming to the tree? Where a dead man called out for his love to flee, strange things did happen here no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you, coming to the tree? Where I told you to run so we'd both be free. Strange things did happens here no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight in the hanging tree. "
