District 13?

During the final hours of the games, a major turning point happens in the plot. As Katniss, Peeta, and their other allies are setting up to kill the careers, the unthinkable occurs. As Johannah and Katniss are setting up Beetee's trap, Johannah all of a sudden knocks out Katniss and cuts her arm and then flees the scene. Katniss tries to regain consciousness and slowly walks back to their campsite. When she arrives there, she finds Beetee on the ground and everyone else has left. Katniss yells out Peeta's name numerous times before she hears him yelling back, but it is too late for him to reach her before she is picked up by the hovercraft.

When Katniss reawakens, she finds herself in what appears to be a hospital. She walks around a little bit and finds Haymitch, Finnick, and the head Gamemaker talking at a table. Haymitch proceeds to tell her that they are on their way to District 13 and that the head Gamemaker is actually a rebel who has had this planned for quite some time. The bad news: Peeta was taken by the Capitol and Katniss does not know if she will ever see him again. With this news Katniss begins to scream and attack the three men sitting there, but that won't wolve anything, what can they do?

I can't imagine hearing the news that one of your loved ones could be gone from you forever. If there is a reoccurring theme in these series of books, I would say it would have to be that. Characters continually are taken from their families with the possibility that they may never return. Thank goodness it isn't real life, I couldn't even begin to imagine the chaos our world would be in if it was.
