Kattnis and I make our way down to the hanger in all black clothes and bag. We hid behind some bombs as we watch two people walk out of the hover craft. We quickly run in as the door starts to close. As soon as we sit down we feel the plane take off.

Once we fell the plane land Kattnis looks around the box to see who was there.
We both take a deep breath before walking out.
We walk with our heads down trying not to draw attention. But that didn't last very long. Two guys walked past us and immediately knew who we were.
We hear the mumble 'hey that's them' as we keep walking
More and more people started to stare and point at us
"That's Kattnis Everdeen and Evelyn Lily" we hear people say

I look up to see people were circled around us
"Kattnis" I mumble making her stop
We both start to look around at the people as they start to raise three fingers in the air

Gale comes up to us and starts to talk to Kattnis as I keep looking at the crowd. Kids, woman, men every age ready to fight for something I started. To end Snow.
I kiss my fingers and lift them up, people started to smile all around me before Kattnis tapped my shoulder
"Come on" Gale tells us both and we walk off




"I'm commander Paylor district 8. I'm a soldier like all of you so, here's what I know. For the first time in our life time we are standing together with 13 districts. From what I see here we already made history. But history doesn't stop to celebrate, and we're facing an enemy that will not change and will never surrender. President Snow has pulled back peacekeepers to fortify the center of the city. He's evacuating revenants from the outer blocks, the civilians will be confused and desperate, you are under order so not to target them. We're deploying medical degas to help anyone in need. Let's show the Capitol people who we are. We slow are advance President Snow is building a minefield of traps, and lethal devices called pods, the inventions of the game makers meant to make sport of our deaths. If our army make it past the peacekeepers and other defenses, we'll converge in the center of the city to Snows mansion where we won't just unlock his gates, but unshackle all of Panem. If we die, let it be for a cause and not a speckle. If we succeed let it be for all of panem and let it be forever. Yes, you've already made history, but the future, our future starts tomorrow at dawn. When we march together into the Capitol." Paylor tells all of the soldiers as everyone cheers
But all I could focus on was the hologram of Snows mansion.







Kattnis and I start to pack our bags with food and water as Gale walks up.
He sits down in front of Kattnis so I just turn my body some to give them somewhat of privacy.
"Looks like you got your meals covered" he says and I couldn't help but role my eyes.
"Trying to be prepared" she tells him
"Don't lie to me. We've been hunting together all our lives. I know when you're going to go off on your own..... you gonna leave me behind too? " he tells her
"As your fellow soldier, I suggest that you stay with your unit. But I couldn't stop you if you wanted to come" she tells him
"Hawthorne, Everdeen, Lily. Come meet your new unit" she tells us

"I'm lieutenant Jackson, and I want to introduce you to your quad. This is second lieutenant Michelle, best sharpshooter in Panem. These are the leggs sisters, first combat devision. And this is corporal homes" she induces us
"Finnick?" I say walking past everyone
"Are you with us?" I ask him
"Looks like it" he smiles
"That was a short honeymoon" I laugh giving him a hug
"Yeah well, I guess we're gonna have to have one in the Capitol." He smiles then gives Kattnis a hug
"After we take it of course" he smiles
"Gather around" Boggs says
"Squad 451, you're my unit. Lieutenant jackson is my second in command. Each one of you is elite form of some combat. But we are a non-combat unit. So we'll be following days behind the front line troops" Boggs says
"You're to be the on screen faces of the invasion. The star squad. It's been decided you're most effective when seen by the masses." Cressida tells us
"So we're not gonna fight?" Gale asks
"You'll do whatever you're ordered to do soldier. It's not your job to ask questions." Boggs tells him
"Yes sir" gale nods
"Our instructions are to shoot propaganda footage on the battle scar streets of the Capitol. You were hand picked to intimidate their forces" Boggs says
"And inspire surrenders." Cressida adds
"Even though we will be working on abounded streets miles behind the front lines, I guarantee you wherever they put us it will not be safe. This is a war zone. And it is likely we will encounter both active pods and peacekeepers. You're consider high value targets to the Capitol. In the event of capture, you'll be given a night lock pill. A poison that acts immediately, it injects into the arm." Boggs says as he gives the box to lieutenant jackson
"I already bereft you on pods, I'll remind you they are on every block" he tells us as I take my night lock pill

"Are unit has been given a holo. A data base that contains a detailed map of the Capitol and a list of every known pod. These pods, are anything from bombs, to traps, to mutts. We cannot move without this device. There's no guarantee that our data base is complete, there could be new pods we're not aware of. Because we don't want the game makers to know we have this intel. It has a self destruct on it, you flip this switch, say night lock three times and it blows itself and anything with in a 10 foot radius. Stay within our unit. Even with the holo, it's likely new pods have been set. Whatever they contain they are meant to kill you." Boggs says
Finnick steps over towards Kattnis and I before whispering
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 76th hunger games" he says


Worst part was, he wasn't wrong.
