So the idea for this story just came to me and wouldn't go away, so I decided to start it. I'm not abandoning my other story Stand By You. The chapters will most likely start off short but they will get longer. Enjoy. By the way I wrote this chapter listening to Back To December by Taylor Swift. You know now that I think about it she writes so many songs that are perfect for Katniss and Peeta.

Katniss POV
When I wake up in the hospital of District 13 I'm momentarily confused as to why I'm here, when the memories from last night come flooding back full force. My heart
feels as though it's been ripped from my chest and I just feel empty and want to sob. Peeta. What did they do to him? To the boy I love, my Boy With The Bread? I look around the room to see a grim looking Plutarch, an angry looking Haymitch, and Prim sitting next to me holding my hand two seconds away from bursting into tears. Okay, so they obviously know what's going on to some extent. I look at Plutarch.
"What did Snow do to him?!" I shout enraged.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to answer any questions until Coin, and Beetee get here." He replies shooting me an apologetic look. I'm about to glare at him but Prim beats me to it. Plutarch flinches causing Haymitch to laugh. Have I ever mentioned that I hate Coin? Well I do. It's partially her fault Peeta acted the way he did last night. If she had rescued Peeta way earlier, I know she had many opportunities to, or preferably as soon as he had been taken or rescued from the arena nothing would've happened to him, and I could be with him right now. Suddenly I don't believe for a second that Coin didn't know that Peeta was alive from the very beginning. Speaking of the Devil Coin comes into the room followed by Beetee. She doesn't waste a second before getting to business.
"Beetee is here to tell you why Mr. Mellark acted the way he did last night, Beetee go on." She says in her usual cold, detached manner. Beetee pushes him glasses up onto his nose before he starts to speak.
"Well, President Snow used a method of fear conditioning called hijacking, using Tracker Jacker Venom on Peeta. He took Peeta's memories of Katniss and changed them so he's scared of her. Scary enough to be life threatening," at this I bury my head in my face into my arms and Prim let's out a choked sob. I know this is hard for for her as well, as Peeta always acted like a big brother towards and as far as Prim's concerned he's her big brother.
"There is no known cure as far as we know" At this I start sobbing, and Prim buries her head in my hair and clings to me. I look up and look at Beetee carefully. He's holding back information. Important information. So I'm not surprised when Coin and Plutarch leave the room and he says
"Katniss, Primrose, Haymitch I have to tell you something. Something that they can't know about."
I'm sorry it's so short. I promise the chapters will get longer and better. :)
