"Coin will be seeing you in thirty minutes miss" a medic calls out to me.

I look upon the clothing given to me, a grey jump suit. The towel that holds my delicate and broken body in place is wrapped around. As I stare down. There's a golden waved pin on the right side as I tilt my head admiring it.

This was Gages mother's. Now it's a symbol, of hope.

I trace my finger along it, at least I still have this from home.

~

Moments later I'm dress and ready to meet up with coin, I had my evaluation done and I passed which meant I was to be put to work for this rebellion.

I hadn't seen Finnick in a couple days since that night. Which even if I didn't remember the man, I still felt sad for not seeing him.

I hadn't even seen Gage in a few days as the nurses wouldn't allow it. Finnick was just lucky that night.

I have so many questions to be asked and answered.

I was quite nervous, but I was also Victoria fucking Grace.

The first time in a week since I've stepped out of this room.

It felt nice, way too nice.

I looked around at the cave like under ground city they made it seem like. It was quite fascinating really. They built all this in seventy five years.

I turned around to bump right into someone, "I'm so sorry" I say softly just as I look up to see a man with blue eyes and blonde flowing hair. He looked familiar, his handsome face says the same as he widens his eyes once they meet mine.

"Victoria" he speaks and I nod a bit confused.

"It's me, Vince." The words are like knives.

"That's- can't be you- and Gage" I start to say as he rubs my shoulder gently

"We'll explain it all to you later, but you need to be getting to a meeting correct? I'll show you the way" he tells me with soft eyes as he guides me.

We then stop in front of two double door. As Vince opens one door for me to go inside I listen to voices.

"That wouldn't work it would kill half the population" one man says

"And? As long as snows dead right." Another says just as I walk in the room of around a dozen people they all stop and turn to me.

I look around the big oval table to see Finnick and Gage, then Katniss and Plutarch, Haymitch, Johanna, and a few others I don't recognize, "what were you saying" I ask as a woman who welcomed me before stands and smiles.

"Welcome Miss Grace, please have a seat next to Katniss." She motions the chair that's empty next to Katniss and I walk over as I make eye contact with Katniss she smiles wearily.

"Now, Miss Grace you may have a lot of questions so I'll answer as many as I can. This is district thirteen, seventy five years ago we went against the capital, failed because we were alone. We didn't have near as many soldiers nor equipment to go against them. We failed but not all of us died, we went under ground to be unseen. Almost nine years ago when you had your games Miss Grace I sent people to the capital to get high end medical supplies, we found the bodies of the other tributes and our scientists figured out a way to bring the dead back to life, means the capital can do that. But we were only successful with Vince and Gage, they became our best soldiers as well."

I look over across the table and make eye contact with Gage, he's not the little boy I knew, he's so grown up. I turn my attention back when she speaks once more.

"They were told not to contact you as it would put everyone at risk of the capital finding us. You sparked a revolution with your games. They found strength and hope in you. But it died down when you didn't take action. Which we can't blame you, you were only thirteen. Now in the last year since Katniss and Peeta they also defied the capital and sparked it once more. This time we are stronger, better, more powerful to over throw the capital and with your help we can surly succeed Miss Grace, what do you say? Will you help end this Hunger Games?"

All eyes were on me, my choice. It would go on with or without me but I'm sure I probably do have some sort of impact.

"You and Finnick are the most well loved in the capital, if we expose what snow does to you, the capital citizens might take our side." She speaks as my mind wonders.

"Okay, I'll do it. But I have terms and conditions" I say glancing back in her grey eyes.

"I get to go visit my district." I then look over to glance at Gage then I catch Finnicks sea green eyes.
"Oh, and So does Finnick and Gage." I say looking back at Coin.

"We can't possibly- it's too dangerous." Plutarch speaks up and coin raises her hand to keep him quite.

"I will meet them. Thank you Miss Grace. You won't regret your decision." She says as she gives me a smile, it sends chills down my spine, she reminds me too much of snow.

With that we were to be sent on our ways.

I walk out not quite sure where to go as I feel a hand upon my shoulder I startle a bit as I hear a chuckle. Looking over I see Gages smile. The one I haven't seen in too long.

"Woah there calm down"

I roll my eyes as we walk together.
"Shut up gag" I say and smirk to myself with the nickname I've given him since we were little.

"Wow it's Gage." He says glaring at me, this takes me back to the good days. We still act like we're children.

"So this whole time you've been alive." I mutter as he leads me to a loud opened area, which I'm guessing with all the tables is the dinning place.

Ignoring the eyes upon us we continue to grab our trays of food.

"Yes, I wanted to tell you right away, but they were right. I couldn't put you in danger vic. I told you I'd always protect you and that I have always been doing" he glances back to me and I smile softly.

Grabbing our plates we head to a table with Vince. I'm just following along as I don't even know how to get around.

"You still a flirt Vince?" I ask as Gage and I seat across from Vince and he gives me a charming smile.

"Awe you still know me well Viccy" he winks and I fake gag at the nickname as I point a fork at him. "Don't you dare call me that"

"Oh no, are you going to impale me with a fork!" Vince acts as though he's scared and then we break into laughter.

Some things never change do they.

I glance over my areas as always just to meet my gaze with Katniss who's sitting at a table with a couple victors as they look over at me, I then catch the gaze of Finnick. His eyes look hurt, damaged, broken.

We keep each other's eye contact a bit too long as he quickly got up and left his table to walk out of the dinning hall.

I look down as I watch his back disappear behind the doors. Part of me wanted to run after him, like I was suppose to protect his feelings, his heart. It pained me and I couldn't figure out why I felt this urge. This need to be around him. To hold him.

Gages hand brushing against mine snaps me back to reality as I look over at him he gives me a sorrow look. "Vic..I know you love him."

I quickly shake my head in denial, "I don't Gage. I don't know him. At least anymore." I smile at him which causes him to squeeze my hand.

If this was eight years ago I'd have butterflies in my stomach, I'd feel warmth and happiness but I don't. This time, I don't. Maybe that's just growth I guess. I still love Gage, right. Of course I do.

I think to myself as I glance back at the doors. But maybe I lied a bit. To protect Gages feelings. But I know a part of me does love this man that I don't know. That I don't remember.

But it was Finnick who was there when I was in the hospital and needed someone the most.
Not Gage.

The feeling doesn't seem to go away. But it's no use of having those feelings if I won't ever remember him again.

After all I have Gage back, isn't that enough for me. I only love Gage,
Of course,
