Nightmare Plot
Who: Katniss and You!
What: Welcome to the 77th Annual Hunger Games ...
When: Nightmare plot
Where: The Arena (and for those familiar with it, The Seam.)
Rating: Definitely R for blood, gore, and the death of children.
The first thing you hear booming is the voice, from your glass tube as you slowly rise up from ...where? You're not sure. All you know is that you are trapped in a glass tube and you are going up. And there's that man - that so jovial man calling out over a loudspeaker from somewhere.
"Welcome to the 77th Annual Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor! It's time for the countdown .... "
And there you are, finally, in the light, in a giant semi-circle where the dirt is suspiciously piled high. There's a long, green field, cut off by a fence that says 'High Voltage'. There are woods to one side of the fence, and to the other, a low valley filled with wooden houses. Somewhere, smoke is rising from the coal mines.
"10..."
When you look around - you see ... children. Dozens and dozens of children on similar pillars. Some look scared. Some look determined. Some look ... well you never really thought a child could look murderous. They range from eleven to seventeen, and you might even recognize Clove.
"9...."
On one end, there is Katniss. Looking pale, sick, but there's a fire in her eyes that says she knows what this fight is. When your eyes lock, she looks surprised to see you there, but all she does is tap her nose once, then jerk towards the field in front of you.
"8 ...."
There you will see the cornucopia - a broad, metal one. Filled with supplies, and supplies are spread out all around it. Weapons are right inside, and backpacks are spread in a ever-widening circle around. Katniss nods towards the packs - go for the supplies. She'll get the weapons.
"7...."
She looks to the woods after that.
"6...."
First rule of the Games - always know where to run.
"5 ... 4 ...3 ... 2...1....Let The Games Begin!"
Katniss jumped off the pillar like a gazelle and sprinted right towards the bow and arrows. A large muscled boy came at her from the left; she feints, then jumps, flipping to grab him by the neck with her legs and slam him to the ground, before rolling to her feet and keep running. She grabs a sword, and the bow and arrows, taking the arrow in hand as she sprints back towards you, screaming, "RUN! RUN!"
The Clove-look-alike comes at her from the side, and Katniss doesn't even hesitate, she steps smoothly back and slices her throat open with one smooth, soldierly motion, before running forward again.

"All right ...but how do we fight them?"
"We need to get to the Seam. If we can overcome the Peacekeepers there, we can use their flyer to get to the Capital, and take out Snow." It sounds so easy. Why wasn't it this easy before?
There's something wrong with this. Something wrong that she hasn't figured out yet.

From the distance, there were the sounds of explosions ...
no subject
You know, so they could avoid exploding, too.
no subject
Because when they walk through the next clearing - they're suddenly on the Capital streets - and the rebellion is in full swing.
Katniss's eyes go wide, as she looks around, her voice going soft, "... I know this street ... "

Great. Another war. At least during the last one he knew the terrain. He hated giving up the lead. Plus the large group was making him a bit nervous. Maybe it was the Greek in him remembering how groups larger than three were unlucky.

"We should go on alone."

"Try not to die," was his advice to the other kids.

She started down the slope, calling out behind her, "Mind the sidewalk ... there's a black goo trap here."

"There is where the Sarge was killed. There is where we ran to get away from the black ooze. There is where Peeta lost it to the tracker-jack poison again and tried to kill me. There's where one of our troop was cut clean in half ..."
She opens her eyes, and looks at him bleakly, "The difference now is - it's just us. No more innocents to get killed in my war."
no subject
"I'd rather not get killed either, if I can help it. So let's get going and end this."

She murmured quietly, opening her eyes and turning to look at him. His expression though - she knew that face. So as they walked, she said quietly. "You've done this before, too. Just not here."
no subject
"You say you've been through this same thing five times? Like it repeats itself?"

"How did it end the other times? Maybe if we change the ending, we can break out."

Katniss said wryly, but he did get a hint of a smile.
