I wake up in a cold room. I look at the white ceiling groggily. The last thing I remember is being in the arena when it exploded. I sit up frantically but almost immediately lay back down when my head starts to hurt. I look over to my right and see Beetee laying unconscious. Panic engulfs me. Where are we?
I notice that we appear to be in a hovercraft. You can tell because the doors have an airtight seal to them. Slowly this time, I get up and make my way to the door. I quietly press the button and the door opens with a slight whoosh.
I peek out into the hall and see no one. Deciding its safe I make my way down the hall. When I get near the end I hear some muffled voices.
"When do you think we should tell her?" I hear a voice say, I immediately can tell that its Finnick. I press my ear to the door I hear it coming from.
"When the time is right" I hear another voice say. Its Haymitch. Suspecting its safe I walk into the room. Everyone looks at me with surprise.
"Well, look who's finally up?" he says sarcastically. I look around the room and see Johanna. Wheres Peeta?
"Wheres Peeta?" I ask concerned. Haymitch lets out a laugh.
"Whats so funny?" I ask then add, "I asked, where is he?"
"Oh" Haymitch says as he tries to calm himself down, "Its funny because you are so worried about him, when you don't even care about him."
"I do care for him! Finnick?" I prod. He looks shocked for a moment. He sighs deeply.
"Actually…." Finnick starts, but I cut him off.
"Did the Capital take him?" I ask worriedly. Everyones quiet for a moment. I assume the worst and sink down onto the floor.
"Don't worry brainless" Johanna says, "he's here and he's not dead." I let out an audible breath.
"Then where is he?" I ask threateningly. The door is opened from behind me.
"Wheres who?" a familiar voice asks me. I turn around and see Peeta. I throw my arms around him and catch him off guard. He falls over and hits the wall. He slides to the ground and i wrap my arms around him again.
"Oh my gosh!" I yell, "I thought you were dead!" I start sobbing into his shirt. This is so unlike me. Peeta wraps his arms around me.
"Its ok Katniss" he whispers soothingly in my ear, "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. Shhhhhhh." He rocks me back and forth on the floor, momentarily forgetting we have an audience.
"Why did you leave me?" I whimper. He rests his chin on the top of my head.
"That was a part of the plan I guess" he tells me in a soothing voice. I look up alarmed. What plan?
"What plan?" I ask and then think for a moment, "and where are we going?"
"District 13" Haymitch answers causally, like its something that I should know.
"There is no District 13" I say. Everyone but Peeta laughs at me.
"Katniss" Finnick tells me, "when the Capital bombed 13 the survivors built a community underground. They have been living there untouched by the Capital for 75 years." I try to take in all of this new information. They have been living their lives without worrying about the Capital or the Hunger Games? How could they just leave us on our own.
"Now," Haymitch says pulling me from my thoughts, "we should be arriving shortly. So, enjoy the flight and I will come get you when we get there. I nod into Peetas chest. Haymitch walks out of the room followed by Finnick and Johanna. Peeta and I sit there in quiet.
"Why were you so worried?" Peeta asks breaking the quietness. I sigh into his chest and look up to him.
"I was afraid the Capital took you" I tell him honestly, "what happened after I blacked out?" He smiles at me and I can't help it, I kiss him softly on the lips.
"Well, I found you laying on the ground after the lightning hit the tree, you were passed out" Peeta tells me, I nod for him to continue, "I picked you up and walked around until I found Finnick holding a passed out Beetee and Johanna." I look back up to him.
"So, they plan was to get us out alive?" I ask unsurely. Peeta nods his head. I kiss the bottom of his jaw and laid my head back down on his chest. "I'm so glad that your here right now" I tell him in a shaky voice. He sighs.
"There are no Capital cameras in here" Peeta tells me, "you don't need to pretend anymore." My heart practically shatters.
"I'm not pretending Peeta" I tell him honestly, hoping he will believe me. He lets out a shaky breath.
"Really?" he asks. I nod.
"Really" I tell him simply.
I really suck at writing so please don't make the reviews too bad!
