The Hunger Games : Catching Fire -- (2013)

Had been declared as the first couple winner of 74th annual game by Capitol, Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark spreding love in the air of the whole 12 districts. President Snow saw that as a threat for the continuance of Panem regime since people started to realize there was still hope for them which the regime worried  would happen a revolution. Panem desired to rid Katniss of as she was the role model for the people to start hoping, but in a right way because now, she is the attention centre. Not to mention President Snow couldn't be lied that Katniss' and Peeta's love story in Hunger Games arena was only a scripted act.



President Snow forced the 'lovebirds' to follow the winner's trip to give speech to other 11 districts with noted paper of the speech content had been arranged by Panem. It's said it was to honor those who have fallen but the real purpose was to make the people to hate Katniss and Peeta. In district 11, Peeta said they will give a one month period of their prize as the winner to the bereaved families and Katniss said sorry to not be able to help Rue who had saved her. An old man raised his hand by whistling a Mockingjay tone followed by the whole people of district 11. The old man then ended with bullet lodged in his skull.

President Snow had threatened Katniss that he will kill all people she loved that's why she had to follow what had been ordered. Chaos happened in every district they came to. They screamed Katniss just speech based on what her hearts felt; don't lie by reading the speech written by Panem that how they thanked Panem for having helped them. 


Snow announced a special Hunger Games, the Third Quarter Quell, where all tributes would be selected from previous victors. From District 12, Katniss and Haymitc were chosen to be sent to the arena but Peeta volunteered himself to replace his place. This game was arranged to make people believe that Katniss, the source of hoping, was not someone they could believe in. She would kill her friends in the arena, too. And for Katniss, the game was arranged to desperate her and of course to kill her. And the first step to do so was by killing Cinna right in front of her eyes.


In the dressing room before entering the Good Bye stage, Katniss who continued her love story with Peeta with a wedding plan (to please the audiences but cancelled due to the Third Quarter Quell), be dressed with a wedding dress. Cinna, her designer, told that the other tributes opposed this game so Katniss should create the same expression. Other tributes indeed expressed their disapproval by cursing and softly said that the rule by human could be removed. But Peeta as the last man saying his Good Bye, had his own way, he said Katniss was pregnant. The audiences shocked and insisted the game should be stopped.

The arena in this Third Quarter Quell, Katniss and Peeta allied with Finnick Odair and a granny, Mags. Then they joined Wiress and Beetee and Johanna Mason. Mags had sacrificed herself so she would not slow them down from the poisonous fog chasing and Wiress died in the sea.


The remaining rival tributes had found where Katniss and the gang were and at that time Johanna attacked Katniss and slashed her hand but ensured her to keep lying without sounding. Johanna then run to distract their attention. Back to the place where they would run their plan to make trap by manipulating the cruel artificial weather, Katniss found the unconscious Beetee and Peeta was lost. When Finnick came, she almost shoot him but Finnick calmed her down, reminded her who the real enemy was. Katniss attached the remaining wire to an arrow and shoot it into the arena forcefield as the lightning hit, causing a power failure that took down the dome's forcefield as well as the Capitol's surveillance.

Katniss awakened in an aircraft to find Haymitch, Beetee, Finnick, and Plutarch Heavensbee, the head Gamemaker, who was revealed to be a rebel against Snow. He told her they were bound for District 13, headquarters of the new rebellion, and that half of the tributes were aware of the plan to escape with Katniss, as a symbol for the growing rebellion. They were unable to rescue Peeta and Johanna, who were taken by the Capitol. A distraught Katniss was sedated after attacking Haymitch. She later awakened and found Gale by her side, who reassured that her family was safe but also told her that District 12 was no longer exists.
