I wake and imeadietly know where I am. I am in a capital hovercraft hospital room which means katniss must be somewhere near. I lift my head to look for her but the only other person here is Beetee attached to an uncountable amount of machines. I quickly stand and leave the room to find her.
I know what happened. Why the arena blew up. I saw the arrow hit the force field. Then it just blew up and it was over. I remember being lifted out, then everything went black. I also know that Katniss will be punished. Not killed but tortured. I can't let that happen. Before I leave the room I grab a syringe. I will not let her be tortured. I will kill her first.
I walk out into the hallway listening for katnisses voice bit she is not the one I hear. I hear Haymiche as I pass by a door. He will know where she is. Whether he wants to admit it or not he cares about katniss. Not thinking or honestly caring about who else is in there I walk into the room.
When I do I see Haymiche, Finnick, and Plutarch hevansbeestaring at me.
"Where is she?" I ask surprised at how weak my voice sounds.
"Peeta this is the rebellion. I have been working undercover in the capital for years. Waiting for someone like Katniss who would not be afraid to fight back. And now you are safe with us." He smiles like I should be happy. But I won't be till I know where she is.
"Where the hell is Katniss!" And all weakness is gone. I am yelling now.
"Peeta calm down. Please." Says Finnick.
"Where is she dammit?" I ask haymiche I'm done with him ignoring my question.
"Peeta the capital got her. I told her no matter what I would save you. I swore. You know she would be mad if we saved her. I'm sorry peeta." And at that I snapped. I walked over to haymiche and before I can think my fist connects with his jaw. Before Finnick can come pull me away I turn and collapse to the floor.
Katniss is gone. The one thing I had. The one person who had ever truly cared about me. I can't move, I can't think. I sit there tears running down my face until my body regains feeling then I stand and let Finnick half-carry me to a different room that is more like living quarters. And sleep for I don't know how long.
"Peeta come on. Get up" Gales voice wakes me up. Why is Gale here.
"Are we home? Are we back in twelve?" I ask eager to be home. But at the same time I don't. Everything there will remind me of Katniss.
"No. We're in district thirteen. Twelve was burned to the ground."
"Can I go back just to see it. I want to go back. Please."
"They have to see that you're ok first. Now I know you aren't ok but if you want to go see twelve they can't know that. Now for the next couple weeks you're going to have to act like you still want your life to go on even though you don't without her. Don't act totally fine though then they'll no something's up. But about half the depression you feel can be shown but save the rest for your housing compartment. Understood?" Gale is helping me as if he knew me. He may not know me well but he knows exactly how I feel right now.
"Ok thank you." I say as we step off the hovercraft into district thirteen.
