Chapter Seventy

KATNISS'S POV

My eyes snap open and I gasp for air, my lungs feeling sucked of life. I gag on the air as I am covered in ash and dirt, my whole body aching. I look up a little and see Athena sitting next to me panting. I grab a bottle of water from my satchel and pour it into my palm and let her lap up the contents while I take my share to soothe the burning in my throat.

I massage her behind the ears and her panting relaxes. "Catnip?" I look up and see Gale, Cressida, and Corex. They all rush over to me and I hold my hand out where Gale helps my up. "I'm fine." I look up and see fire blazing through the trees and then I look down to see the little girl next to me... Dead. Tears begin to form in my eyes as Cressida's muffled commands try to slither into my thoughts. I look up and into Pollux's headset.

"What do you see Katniss?" I take a deep breath with anger. "These people are taking innocent lives! If you look down at my feet another one of Panems children have fallen because of war! This needs to end! This is not fair and we must fight back!" I drop to my knees next to the little girl, bow my head in respect.

_____two months later______

The war still blazes viciously on and we are stuck in a trench while bullets spray over us, grenades detonating all around, our hearing muffled. Corex covers me with his body as Athena does the same. "We need to charge!" I yell as bullets wiz by. "Are you crazy?" "Not now Corex I mean later when this calms down, tonight where we will be covered by nightfall, you me, Gale, and Cressida will go." He bites his lip and nods.

"That actually isn't a bad idea." He pats my back. Later that night there's an eerie silence over the battle field, enough to possibly hear the enemies breathing. I put on my bullet proof chest piece and pat Athena as she finishes her dinner. Cressida grabs her headset where it'll record our raid. "You ready guys?" Cressida asks and I nod, so does Gale. "Oh wait! Don't forget about me!" We hear a high pitched voice. We all turn to see Effie in grey attire and my mouth drops.

"Effie?" She raises an eyebrow. "Dear heavens Katniss you look awful!" I grab her shoulders. "What the hell are you doing here?" "Coming with you of course!" She says. I shake my head. "Effie get back to thirteen on whatever the hell you came from and stay there to be safe." "I can take care of myself Katniss!" A grenade goes off behind us a few feet away but I still have my eyes glued to hers. Her eyes go wide with fear. "I'll be leaving now... And getting a new skirt." She walks away quickly. I shake my head and turn. "Alright, let's get moving before she changes her mind." We sneak into the darkness of night as the field is dead silent.

Athena trails behind me, sniffing as she goes. After a few miles we stop behind a piece of rubble and I look at Cressida. "Alright guys this is what we are going to do. We are going to sneak in and go through quietly to take over the fort alright? Let's split up-" Then all of the sudden a blast blows us off our feet and on the ground.

Athena starts howling and I see that Cressida is knocked out cold with her head piece beside her. "Cressida?" I turn and see Gale also knocked out but Corex rushes over to me. "Katniss it's a sneak attack get-" He grabs his chest and gasps, falling to his knees and I see a bullet would as he lays on his stomach through his shoulder. "Hugo!" Before I can get to him bullets wiz by and I go back behind the large piece of rubble for refuge with Athena burying her face into my chest. I grab my mobile device and dial the home phone as bullets wiz past me and grenades bombard my hearing.

Then out of all the insanity I'm hearing I hear the soft calming voice of my husband. "Katniss?" Then a bullet hits me and goes through my shoulder and I cry out. "Katniss?" I bite my lip as blood starts seeping through my suit and tears start welling up in my chest as I hold my arm to my chest. "Peeta, I wanna come home, I wanna come home now." "Where are you sweetheart." I look at the explosions in the sky as it starts to rain. I keep sobbing and he shushes me.

"It's gonna be okay Katniss." "MockingJay! Come out with your hands up!" A man yells. My blood runs cold and Peeta hears. "Honey, what's going on." "I'm on talking to my husband!" I call out. Another shot rings out. "Right now!" I try to hide my sobs. "Peeta, tell the kids I love them." "Katniss?" "I'm so sorry Peeta I love you." I hang up and throw the phone, grabbing my bow and arrows. "Come out now!" I do and aim my arrow at the man in front of the group of others.

"You don't want to do that, we're dangerous people." I glare. "Maybe I'm dangerous." My shoulder is starting the throb worse and I grimace through the pain. Then someone from behind grabs me and smacks me with the butt of a gun and I fall to my knees. I see Athena and I call her signal. She starts attacking the man and she kills him. She growls backing up against me and then goes for another attack but a gun goes off and she falls with a yelp. I gasp as I see blood coming from her side.

I crawl over to her and put her head in my lap as she pants. "Athena, come on you're okay." She licks my cheek and more tears begin to fall. "You're a good girl." Then two men grab my arms and I then feel a syringe go into my neck and I black out to Athena standing up and quickly limping away as the others are arrested with me.

_______Haymitch's POV______

I walk quickly down to a meeting with Paylor and Plutarch, it better be important I was suppose to help Peeta today with a few things. I open the door and see them with worried looks in their eyes. "What is it?" I ask. Paylor looks up.

"The MockingJay squad has been captured including the MockingJay." I cover my face with my hands. "Dammit." Plutarch turns on a hologram. "We got this transmission just a few minutes ago." He plays it and I see Katniss, her wrists and ankles attached to heavy metal chains linked up to electrical ports while in a dark room illuminated by one light. She's beaten, bloody, bruised, and breathing heavily with no shirt on only her bra, slacks, and boots.

She tenses up as she is electrocuted and she cries out until they stop and she slumps while moaning. I grimace. They electrocute her again and she screams until they stop, her body falling limp. She lifts her up her head slowly, her eyes drooping. "District Thirteen-" Another gut wrenching electrocution goes through her. When it stops someone hits her with a club with spikes on it across the face. Blood oozes from the wounds, her eye bleeding. She smirks.

"Bomb the shit out of this place." Then she is electrocuted again to the point where she starts seizing and then she falls limp again but falls out of the restrains where they begin beating her to a pulp with those cruel clubs. Every blow makes my stomach churn worse, every whimper of pain breaks my heart. Then finally she begs for mercy and they turn it off as they drag her out of the room. "Shit." I say. "We need to know where exactly they are to get them evacuated, they are planning an execution in three days of General Hawthorne, Private Cressida, and Katniss the MockingJay." I bite my lip.

"Fine, I will lead a fleet to handle this." Paylor smiles. "You are promoted to General soldier Abenarthy." I nod a thank you and walk out quickly. I go up to the training field and see all my men kneeling in a circle on the ground. "What in the hell are all of you doing? We have a squad to save and y'all are sitting here like y'all are having a shitty tea party!"

"Haymitch-" I look over them and see Athena, Katniss guard dog wounded and panting heavily with whines of pain. I drop down next to all of them and stroke her fur as someone gets out something to patch her up. "You know where sweetheart is." Her chocolaty brown eyes begin to droop from exhaustion as another person lets her lap up water from their canteen. "I ain't letting you die old girl, you die Katniss dies." She eyes open and I smirk.

"We're going to make a good team." She lets out a bark and everyone chuckles and I smile. "Good girl."
