I stood in the assembly hall as everyone watched the 'propo' I looked over them as my harsh yet true words rang in their ears.

"Plutarch's faith in you wasn't misplaced." Coin told me

"Thank you." I replied

"Come up with me for the beginning." I nodded in agreement feeling the nerves and apprehension wash over me.

'And if we burn, you burn with us!" Join the Mockingjay! Join the fight! Everyone started cheering as the film came to an end. Coin and I walked forward onto the balcony. After a moment Coin raised her hands to bring them to a silence.

"There is no progress without compromise. No victory without sacrifice. But I stand here with the mockingjay..." She took my hand. "...to announce that our moment has arrived." She raised out hands and the crowds cheered again. Bringing our hands down she gave me a slight nod. I turned around and joined Finnick and my brothers and sister, Those that were content in fighting against murderers. People had just died. Innocent people. This was not a thing to be happy about.

"Beetee has increased our use of the airwaves tenfold. We will broadcast this message to all districts tonight. The Mockingjay's words inspiring everyone to join the rebellion. Together we will become and alliance to be reckoned with." She raised her fist at the cheers from district 13. They began to chant.

"Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoooorah!"

"You don't like hearing a fight song at a funeral huh? The more people on our side the closer we are to Peeta and Annie." Finnick told me

"Yeah." I mutter in return. I took my siblings back to our room.

-------------

Posy played with my pearl on the side as I did her hair. She out of all my siblings seemed more different than most since being here, quiet more and her happiness and giggles has been buried I think in fear of what had happened.

"Do you miss him?" She asked and looked up at me

"Every second."

"How, if your fighting in the rebellion?" I turned her around to face me.

"It's because of him that I fight. One day when your much older I'm sure you will feel someone the way I do with Peeta."

"And how is that?" She gave me back the pearl

"Like, you'll never be at peace until he's in front of your eyes." I smiled softly and stroked her cheek.

"Finnick said that every step you make for the cause is one closer to bringing Peeta and Annie back."

"It is. But this is no game Posy, remember that. This is a fight, a war and while I wished never to be apart of it, I have to." I tried to make her see the bigger scope of things. One things that children no longer had these days was a childhood. Hopefully when this was over, they would have that back.

"To get to him." I nodded. The door opened and Gale stepped in

"I have good news."

"What?" I wonder

"Coin has agreed to let the three of us hunt above ground." Good I need a moment.

"Come, I'll take you to Rory." I dropped Posy off. Katniss, Gale and I grabbed out hunting gear and left. Though I've never felt really settled, this is as close as I could come to it. Being back in the woods. We saw a deer and I held my hand up for them to stop. Taking an arrow I aimed it at the clueless deer. But I never realised, he looked up at the three of us not knowing our intentions. He wasn't even afraid.

"He's not even afraid of us." Katniss spoke my thoughts.

"It's cause they've never been hunted before. It's almost not fair." Gale replied I turned to the two of them.

"Let's find something else." We found some birds and rabbits before we settle at a nearby stream. I laid my head on Kat's lap while my feet were on my brothers.

"I haven't seen you like this in a while." my brother spoke.

"Like what?"

"Calm." a pager went off and he looked at the two of us

"They want us back." he lifted my feet of of him and stood up I sat up and looked at Katniss.

"Am I just realising that the brother I left is not the same one I woke up too?" Katniss sighed

"Yeah, I think that as well." We followed after him and went back to 13

"They asked us to head for command." Gale informed us.

"All right. We got drop these off." I said as Kat and I held up our bags. He pulled down the gate and took us to the mess hall. The TV was on and I could hear Ceaser talking.

"She was arguably our favourite tribute..." Gale lifted the gate and I walked out. I saw Peeta on the screen.

"And I think that's what we all find most astonishing, is that this girl was adored in the Capitol." I dropped my things and stood right in front of the screen

"...And I think for you Peeta it must be particularly painful." Peeta looked down holding a white rose as Ceaser was talking to him.

"I wish I could give this rose to you Lily." My heard broke seeing the sight of him

"He's changed so much already. What are they doing to him?" I asked

"A sweet gesture for a girl who has inspired such violence. You must love her very much to be able to forgive her."

"He shaking." I grabbed Kat's hand for comfort.

"I don't think I could. Unless, of course Peeta, you think that perhaps she's being forced into saying things she doesn't even understand." Ceaser offered him a inch and he took it defending me.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I think. "

"Even his voice is different." I say

"I think they're using her to whip up the rebels. I doubt she even knows what's really happening. And what's really at stake."

"Now Peeta, I doubt that the rebels will ever let her see this. But if they do what would you say to her? To Lilly Mellark, your once sweet Lily."

"I would tell her to think for herself. Don't be a fool Lily. I know you never wanted the rebellion. The things you did in the games were never intended to start all of this. The rebels have made you into something that you're not. Something that could destroy all of us. So if you have any power or any say in what they do or how they use you, please, please urge them to stop this war before it's too late. And ask yourself can you trust the people you're working with? Do you know what they really want." I couldn't take it. I swung into Kat's arms who comforted me.

"We need to respond." Gale replied stiffly. I looked up at him

"Did you see what he looks like?"

"I saw a coward." I pulled away

"You have no idea what he's going through."

"I don't care. I would never say, what he just said. Not if the tortured me. Not with a gun to my head." Gale argued back which only made me more angry.

"That is the same Peeta that defended you at the whipping post." I snapped at my brother

"No it's not. Now he's only defending himself." I slapped him across the cheek and he held it in his hand as his stupid device ran again. Kat pulled me away.

"Coin's called a meeting, we need to respond."

"Since when did you and Coin become a 'we' Brother." I spat

"Everyone has a choice Lils. How can he sit there in the Capitol and defend the people who destroyed his home and murdered nearly all of his family." It was like a wave hitting me as I came to the realisation.

"He doesn't know." I looked to Kat "How could he, no one's seen what the Capitol did to 12. I have to show them. I have to show him." I ran off and burst into command.

"We need to go back to 12." I breath

"Excuse me?" Con asked

"Peeta, he has no idea what they did. He's blindly defending his captors because he doesn't know the truth. We need to show him. We need to show them all." She looked at me for a moment and then at Plutarch.

"Okay."
