A Victor's Promise

Leave & Don't Come Back

Chapter One

Promises, Promises

District -12 Mellark house

Katniss just got done taking the test. It was positive. Peeta has been wanting children for so long . She left the result with a Teddy Bear for Peeta to find. She's no longer the Mocking Jay, She's now just Mrs. Katniss Everdeen Mellark. She couldn't wait until Peeta got home.
Peeta came home but it wasn't the same Peeta. It was the darker Peeta from the Venom & the target was Katniss. Peeta's attacks were usually short & would feel guilty afterwards but this one was different. Maybe it was because of the baby that, Katniss couldn't take it anymore. "Peeta stop, please stop" she begged him as he threw her around from wall to wall while hitting & kicking her around until he made her promise as a Victor to get out & never come back. Peeta looked at her coldly; "Damn it you fucking worthless mutt, Leave & Don't come back. Ever." So she did.

She went over to Haymitch's who took one look at her bloody lip, Black Eye, bruises & took her to the clinic when all was revealed. Haymitch asked "How far a long Katniss?" Katniss: "About 8 weeks, Haymitch I can't have him around me anymore. He made me swore as a Victor that I will never come back. I need to hide. I'll miss 12 but I have to leave to save our baby. I can't risk it again. She cries."
H: "Ok Sweetheart, okay. I'll get you out of here. You'll never see him again. Haymitch goes what was once their house gets most of her favorite belongings including the memory book but leaves the bear & test to teach him a lesson about Victor's Promise.

Calls President Paylor to get the restrictions removed from Katniss but has one put on Peeta that he is band from district Two & the Training Center suites floor two, twelve & thirteen."
P: "I'll do one better I can issues a divorce decree with a restraining order stating he can NEVER see her again any time, any where on pain of slow death. Jesus H. Christ Haymitch we're getting her out tonight, I'm sending Cato to get all of her belongings packed & out of there."
H: "Yes but I need you to hurry this is the first place he'll look for her once this episode is over."
P: "Cato is on his way with the papers. Peeta will sign them before Cato leaves. Hide Katniss in the woods. Cato will find her."
H: "I know the place that Peeta won't find her. Tell Cato..."
P: "Very well. it's done." Haymitch hangs up, looks at her "We got to pack & you got to hide There's a place in the woods where Peeta can't get to you. Cato is being sent in with the papers he will get you to the hover craft first then after you sign the papers he will get the rest of your stuff out of there. Is there anything you want to leave behind besides Peeta? Katniss replies: " Only this." As she removes the locket from the 75th games that has his picture & they're Wedding picture on the other side & her wedding ring set for Haymitch to give back to Peeta. After packing a duffle bag & back pack with some food & water they take off for the woods making sure Peeta's not following them. They stop at an old tree to get her father's bows & quivers of arrows. Has safely her treed and brings up the bags telling her to wait for Cato. "Well this is it Sweet Heart. I'll be seeing you. Remember look for Cato not me. I'm interference for the next 3 days."

Cato Stone who was the Victor of the 73rd Hunger Games was in Paylor's office when Haymitch called with the request that they extract Katniss. The paper were already filled out as a precaution in case Peeta's attacks became too violent. All they needed was the dates, signatures & Seals to be set which Paylor did while talking to Haymitch. As Paylor hands him the papers Cato asks "Anything I need to know?" Paylor says " She about 8 weeks a long, beaten up, treed to be safe & waiting for you. I owe her for the war & the nation owes her for exposing Coin. I need you there yesterday if not sooner. There will be a medic with you in case she gets worse from injuries. Cato get her out of there." Cato: "On it."& with that he left. Yet nothing prepared him for what he was about to find.

Mean while Peeta is calling for Katniss all over the village:

Peeta goes to Haymitch's "Alright where is she?"
H: "Gone. You are ordered by President Paylor to await for her messenger at your house now. I'm to stay with you."
P: "Haymitch you don't understand, Katniss maybe pregnant I found this (as he holds up the Bear & test). I 've got to find her." Haymitch just shakes his head.
H: "Peeta YOU beat her up then, you made her promise as a VICTOR to & I quote Katniss "TO GET OUT & NEVER COME BACK. You made her promise NEVER to see you again, as a VICTOR. It doesn't matter in what condition YOU were in when YOU MADE her promise as a VICTOR. She is a VICTOR she has to keep her word. It's our code. Now YOU & I are going to your house packing up HER stuff & when her messenger gets here YOU WILL sign the DAMN papers."
P: "Am I going to be allowed to see my child when it's born?"
H: "Wouldn't count on it. Oh and Katniss now as a separate account that her winnings will be going to for now on. Paylor took care of it. I knew that the two of you said no because its' blood money. Well now she's on her own, she's going to need it since she saved your ass at twice during the games & three times during the rebellion so you wouldn't be executed as a traitor, she's earned it. So get off your ass since we've arrived & start packing."

Mean while in a open field near an edge of the forest:

Cato informing the medics be prepared for the worse as he landed. "You are looking for a 18 to 19 year old battered woman that is treed high up. She is also 8 weeks along, scared, bloody & bruised. She also can shoot." Prior to leaving Haymitch before Peeta came to his house told him what area from where he landed to look for her. Haymitch also texted that Peeta came to him & they're packing her stuff up. "Well that's one less thing I have to do he mutters."
