Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Every time I saw I got one, I got the goofiest smile on my face! So thank you I hope I get a lot more! Oh and I know the last chapter was extremely short! So I'll try to make them longer from now on! Ok I'll shut up now, please review!
Disclaimer- I own nothing from The Hunger Games Trilogy, there are some parts in the books I might use but only to describe characters.
Katniss POV
Peeta, I saw Peeta. I could tell everyone around me was as shocked to see him as I was by how they all gasped and turned to watch my reaction. I felt relief that he wasn't dead, he looked fine, sitting in a big plush chair, he looked like he did in the arena. But I know him, in the inside he is terrified, he is just too strong to show it. I want nothing more right now than to just pluck him from the screen and hold him in my arms comforting him.
I feel my legs carrying me towards the screen, not knowing why I was going to it. When I was right in front of it, I extended my arm to touch Peeta on the screen. I missed him so much, "We will rescue you Peeta." I whisper to the screen, he then turned to look at the camera, I know he didn't hear me, but part of me wanted to believe he did. Another person came onto view on the monitor, Snow. He reached to where Peeta was sitting and put an arm on his shoulder.
"Hello citizens of Panem," He started "now you might be thinking rebelling is the right thing to do, and that you can overpower the Capitol and me, but you are very mistaken, we will destroy you. But since I am the nice person I am, I will give you two choices, one, stop this madness and snap back into reality, return to your own districts and we will continue to process how we normally do. And I will also release all of the prisoners I have, including Mr. Mellark, I'm sure he would love to go home, and be with Miss Everdeen and their child."
Peeta was looking down at his feet, now showing how sad he was. I forgot completely of how Peeta lied to all of Panem, telling them that I was pregnant when I was not. "Or, you can continue, but I guarantee each and everyone one of you will be destroyed. But it's your choice decide quickly." And with that the screen went black, I couldn't take this anymore Peeta needs to be rescued.
I must demand my requests to Haymitch maybe he can make it happen quickly or else I won't corroborate, I won't be the mockingjay. With a plan in my head I leave the cafeteria in pursuit of finding Haymitch or someone in charge. After walking for what it seems like miles I realize I have no clue where I am going, everywhere looks exactly the same how do you tell where to go?
A big man then rounded the corner and stopped with a confused look on his face right in front of me, "Excuse me miss, may I help you?" He says looking professional, possibly he is in charge of this prison or an important person of it.
"Umm do you know where I can go to see the leader of this place, like the president?" I stutter, surprisingly nervous.
"Oh miss Everdeen! Of course right this way I will take you there." He then turns around and starts walking away, expecting me to follow I'm sure. We walk through the halls turning corner after corner until we come to a stop at a door at the end of the hallway. "Right in here is President Coin, she runs district 13. You may enter."
I nod and give him a smile; I hope this President Coin will send out a rescue team to the Capitol to get Peeta before it's too late. I walk on into the room and find a desk with a woman behind it. "Um excuse me," I say walking up to the desk "Can I see President Coin? It's an emergency."
She looks up at me, "Oh of course! I'm sure the President would love a visit from you, let me just make sure she's not in the middle of anything, please have a seat." She says gesturing to the chairs behind me, I go sit in one and wait.
What if Coin won't allow Peeta to be rescued? I would die not being able to see him again, lately I have been thinking a lot more of him, and when I do I feel a knot in my stomach, not a bad knot but a good one. I feel myself getting happy every time I think of him. Of course I feel horrible when I think of him in the Capitol, being tortured, but if I think about pleasant memories I feel that knot. I don't know what it is; I have only felt it twice before, in the cave, and on the beach. It felt nice, like the rest of the world didn't matter, and I was safe with Peeta. I always felt that knot when I was with Peeta, is it love? I don't know I have never experienced it before.
The woman walked back into the room before I could think about it longer, "You may go and see her, second door on the right."
"Thank you." I say getting up and heading towards the hallway, but before I do I feel the woman put her hand on my shoulder "I'm sorry what happened to Peeta." She says simply, I smile, feeling like I'm not in this alone; I have supporters, people who will pick me up if I fall, even if I don't need them to. She takes her hand off my shoulder and turns around to get back to work.
I continue to walk, each step getting closer and closer towards my answer. If the President will do something or not, when I reach the second door on the right I walk in.
I find an elderly woman, fifty or so, with gray hair that falls in an unbroken sheet to her shoulders. Her eyes are gray, but not like those of people from the Seam. They're very pale, as if almost all the color has been sucked out of them. The color of slush that you wish would melt away.
She looked freighting, nothing like a leader of peace in my opinion. "Katniss, please sit, I believe you wish to speak to me about something."
"Peeta needs to be rescued." I say fiercely, for some reason I already hate this woman.
"Ah yes Mr. Mellark, I had a feeling you would be visiting about him soon. But you must understand the capitol will be expecting us, which would make rescuing anyone extremely risky."
That is true I have to admit, but I have another idea.
As I tell Coin my idea she nods impressed "That could possibly work, much unexpected. I will call a meeting and bring forth your idea, and if it is approved we will begin to put it in action."
I leave her office feeling a lot more confident about seeing Peeta again than before. Now I almost believe I will.
When I'm back in the hallway I see Prim and my Mother waiting for me, "Katniss!" exclaims Prim "You get to stay with us!" I laugh and allow my little sister to drag me through the halls and into her and my mother's room.
"Will you sleep beside me?" She asks looking up at me with those innocent blue eyes.
I smile at her, "Of course." her face lights up, and she jumps on a bed I assume is her own and pats the spot next to her wanted me to join her.
I do as she requests and lay down next to her, pulling her into my arms.
Soon I find she has fallen asleep and I start to do the same. Before I do I see my mother walking towards us and kissing us both on our foreheads. I smile to myself, it feels great to be surrounded my family again.
I then fall asleep and dream about what it would be like living with Prim, my Mother, and Peeta.
Alright well that's it! I know it's still a little short but I thought a short chapter would be better than no chapter right?The truth is I have been busy lately, but I will still try my hardest to update soon, I would update sooner if I got at least 10 more reviews! Is that too much to ask? :D
