UPDATED TO FIX A FEW TYPOS.
A/N: So this is my Everlark Fan Fiction. This is AU, Katniss has been captured by the capitol instead of Peeta and the rest of AU secrets you wont find out till later. I hope you enjoy it, I have the next 3 chapters already written so the more reviews the quicker I put them up. I do like criticism but as long as its nice and constructive. I hope you enjoy it! HUGE THANKS TO MY BETA BOOKWORMULTIMATE !
Katniss was sprawled out on the floor of her cell in the capitol.
It had been three, four, maybe five weeks since the capitol had taken her from the exploding arena. She had lost hope of ever seeing anyone she loved or cared about again. Annie and Johanna were in the same condition as her, but not as bad as she was.
Snow had thought she deserved to be punished double for starting the rebellion and blowing up the arena. Every day they dragged her into a room, beat her, raped her and screamed in her face for three hours, but she never lasted that long, usually passing out.
This was her thirty-third day of being imprisoned and Annie and Johanna just got back so that meant that is was now her turn. The gate slid open, making a horrible sound against the ground and she shuffled to the back of the cell.
"No!" She screamed and looked up at the peacekeepers face. "No" She said again, weaker and more defeated. The peacekeeper laughed and picked her up by her arm and dragged out of her cell.
I don't remember falling asleep, as usual, but when I wake up I can feel the dry blood all over my body and the ache that usually follows my 'sessions.' I sit up slowly and move to the bars of my cell near Annie and Johanna.
"Are you two okay?" I called into the darkness. I didn't get a reply for a few minutes but the shuffling indicated that they were alive.
"I'm okay" Johanna said dryly and I could hear the exhaustion in her voice as well as the pain.
"Annie?" Johanna called. I didn't hear anything.
"Annie, are you awake?" I asked worried and looked in the direction of her cell. I heard some movement and stood up shakily but I immediately fell back down with a small scream of pain.
"Katniss; don't hurt yourself." Annie said weakly, her voice incredibly shaky and uneven. "I'm okay as well." She mumbled weakly.
I rolled onto my back and groaned as a sharp pain shot through my leg. I closed my eyes as I felt the pain pull me towards darkness.
I remember this time why I woke up and I am rather proud of that. Annie and Johanna were having a small conversation, but I don't tune in. I don't want to listen to them talk about the good times they had once they won the games. Times like these are pretty rare for us, when we are all awake and not in so much pain that we can't talk.
I sit up with a soft groan and run a hand through my filthy hair. I'm about to say something when there is a loud bang coming from outside the main door. I turned to the door and panic filled my body. I couldn't see anything in the darkness but silhouettes and the frequent white uniforms of the peacekeepers, which there were three of. I feel the air leave my lungs and I scrambled to the back of my cell as one of them opens the cell door.
A distressed cry leaves my throat as I see the other two peacekeepers open Annie and Johanna's cell. I look up at the peacekeepers face and my mouth hangs open a bit at the familiar face. That face I had seen so many times around the district, the one that I love more than anything else, the one that they said had been blown to pieces by the arena.
Our eyes meet and they fill me with a little hope that maybe I can get out of here. It all came crashing down when Annie's scream fills my ears. My eyes snap to her then back at his face and get ready to put up a fight but I don't need to. The moment he speaks, it all drops out of me like a ton of bricks.
Peeta is here to save me and I am going home
