Mockingjay If Katniss was Captured

Saying No Doesn't Always Work

Katniss

        "No I won't. The rebels need to fight. We will stop the games. I will not do this no. No. No!" I yelled right in the face of President Snow. The sound of skin hitting skin echoed in the room.

        "What do you mean no? You don't really have a choice Miss. Everdeen if you have noticed I am in charge. Sebastion before you take her to the cell make sure you show her what it means to say no. We will also see you again at eight sharp to dress you up for the show." With that President Snow walked out the door. 

        "Well you heard him." Sebastion said as he grabbed a small dagger from the wall. The dagger's shrap tip grazed my cheek drawing blood. After leaving my body with all new scars he put the now bloody dagger in the sink. The next thing i heard was the deafening CRACK of the whip. Numbing pain shot through me, black dots spotted my vision. Tears stung the corners of my eyes, but I blinked them away. After another antagonizing hour of this he finally unstrapped me and dragged me back to te cell. 

        "Katniss! What happened to you?" I hear both Annie and Finnick yelp rushing over to help me. I grit my teeth as a struggle using my feet to get off the ground but fail and end up hurting myself more. Annie helps me sit up and then brings out a first aid kit. 

        "What they do to you Katniss?" Finnick questions gently but if you look at his eyes you see a completely different story. His stunning sea-green eyes swirl like a whirlpool filled with ferocity. It especially stood out with his paled skin.

        " So after I made them focus all their anger on me and  they took you out of the room President Snow made Sebastion whip me.I stayed silent for about 50 whips but I couldn't hold the pain in any more and i screamed. President Snow then ordered him to stop and he told me to do something for him." I trail off looking at the ground.

        "What did he tell you to do?" Annie asks looking up from my wounds.

        "He asked me to call a cease fire and I told him no. He then left the room but told me he would see me at eight to dress me up for the show and then told Sebastian to teach me a lesson. After he was done he dropped me here."

        " Katniss first of all you are an idiot. I am suppose to protect you not the other way around. Second of all thank you for protecting Annie for me."

        "No problem its my fault you are here in the first place."

        "All done!" Annie exclaims as she places a safety pin on the gauze wrapped around my torso. "Also Katniss it wasn't your fault we are here we will always fight against the capital you just gave us the hope to do so. We choose your fate not you."

        Right as i was about to reply three peacekeepers picked me up by the elbows and dragged me out of the room with Finnick's and Annie's protests in the background.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Lapse~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I look myself up and down i see how big of a toll the torture has put on me. Through the red body of the dress i can easily count my ribs. The dress is a beautiful red dress that cascades down my body to the floor with a train to follow. The dress has very thin straps but the thing that scares me the most is the open back. You can see all the whip marks, the scars from the games, and the slashes from the knife. When the make-up people denied my request to cover my scars they told me President Snow demanded them not to. What does he have planned? 

        "Come on Miss. Everdeen the President wants to see you." Sebastion tells me as he grabs my arm and drags me out the room. We arrive in front of a pair of golden doors, he then be canes me in the room where i see President Snow sitting at his desk. 

        "Ahh Miss. Everdeen you look absolutely stunning today." He tells me as I stay silent looking at the ground. "Okay. We are here to talk about what you say in your interview with Ceaser. You will tell them that the war is not worth fighting, show them how innocent you are. Show them you are now a pawn of the Capital not a symbol of a rebellion."

        "And if I don't?"

        "If you don't... Let's just say its a thousand times worse than what happened earlier today. Sebastion take her to the stage its almost show time."

        "Yes sir." Sebastion salutes as he again drags me by the arm and leads me to the stage. When I get there I see Ceaser Flickerman. He still has the same color hair as he did during the Quarter Quell but his suit is what makes him different. He is wearing a purple and green suit with elegant designs across the jacket and pants. Sebastion then forces me to sit on the chair and leaves the stage. 

        "Hello Katniss. How are you holding up?" Ceaser questions. I note he doesn't ask me how I am doing he asks me how I am holding up. He understands this is hard he understands this isn't something he will ever understand. He understands I gone through mush but not to the extent he can imagine.

        "I am doing as well as I can." I tell him. With just a sympathetic look and a nod he stands up with a grin on his face.

        "Welcome the Girl on Fire, Katniss Everdeen two time survivor of the Hunger Games!"
