[T/W: Suicide]

"I gather we're all here?" Haymitch asked the group.

Athena looked around at the other victors. They had arrived at the District 12 living area, with Katniss and Peeta in their rooms, asleep. From what she could see, all the tributes for Districts 1,3,4,6,7,8, and 11 had attended. Athena felt glad that all the victors in her alliance were here, if Haymitch had a good enough plan, their group would be the first involved.

"I've called you all here today so I can propose a plan I have." The alcoholic began.

"Yes we know, but please explain quickly. I'm tired and I couldn't care less about this to be honest." Johanna interrupted.

"Johanna, let me speak for once." Haymitch silenced her, making the woman lean back on the sofa rolling her eyes.

"I can get you all out of that arena alive." He proudly announced.

"You can what?" Athena asked in shock, whilst her mind just pictured a dozen daggers in Finnick's too-warm heart.

"If you all form an alliance, and stay alive just four days you can all survive." Haymitch repeated.

"Fourteen people out of twenty four in an alliance, don't you think that would look suspicious to everyone?" Cashmere fired back with toxicity.

"I'd say you go off in smaller groups in the bloodbath, after collecting your weapons, and meet by the cornucopia on the second day." Haymitch answered calmly. He had obviously thought this through very well.

"I think we're all ignoring the main problem here. How on earth are we all going to get out of there alive? Everyone knows the Capitol will only allow one victor, especially after what happened last year." Johanna challenged aggressively.

"The Capitol doesn't know that we're planning this. Our rebel base, District 13," Haymitch started.

"Wait. District 13?" Caspian inquired in complete confusion.

"Yes it thrives underground! Wow! Can I please finish?" The mentor replied sarcastically. "Okay. Thank you. District 13 will send us two of their hovercrafts to somehow lift you out of that hell. Plutarch is part of The Capitol Underground Federation, a rich rebel group based in the Capitol, and he will help me to succeed in this task.

"To finish, I want you all to remember who the real enemy is when you're having doubts in there. The other tributes aren't your enemy, nor are Plutarch and I. It's President Snow. And it always will be until he is dead. Any more questions?" Haymitch completed explaining.

"Yeah just a few. Are you only doing this because I assisted my District's riot? Oh, and why aren't your two prized victors present?" Athena questioned with a thoughtful look.

"They aren't here because the plan wouldn't work if they knew. And you also need to remember to protect them at all costs, which leads me to the answer to your first question Athena.  Katniss' stunt in her games caused that riot as you may know, and if she died, that spark would go. We all know we need a long-awaited revolution, and so do District 13, who want her to be the face of this upcoming rebellion. Peeta needs to be protected because without him, Katniss would be broken beyond compare, even though she struggles to admit it." Haymitch responded.
