    Mockingjay continues right where Catching Fire left off. Katniss is extracted from the Quartell Quell along with others who were also in the Quarter Quell. One person who was not there was Peeta. Peeta is still missing, and Katniss is going to save him. Peeta sends the rebels a coded message warning them that the Capitol will attack them. The Capitol finds out, and responds to this by torturing Peeta. The Capitol continues the bombing of District 13 just as Peeta predicted. The Capitol begins to brainwash Peeta, and makes Peeta believe that Katniss is the enemy. Peeta tries to kill Katniss, but she escapes and heads back to District 2. Katniss tries to get back to the fight, and gets shot once again, and bonds with Victor while she is recovering from the wound. After Katniss is done recovering she tries to do whatever she can to get back into the fight. During the fight, Katniss is put into the same unit as Peeta. This worries Katniss, and Commander Boggs. Commander Boggs dies, but before he dies he gives Katniss the command of the unit. Katniss decides that she is going to go on a secret mission to assassinate President Snow. The unit decides to help Katniss, and only 3 survive on their way. Those 3 include Katniss, Gale, and Peeta. They end up getting separated and Prim dies.
