Please review :) and if you don't already assume a thing is going to happen in the if not next then few chapters ahead ;)
The next morning when I wake up. I'm not in my house. I remember. My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am 17 years old. I have survived 2 Hunger Games. I should be dead. I see Peeta sleeping and slip out of bed. My first thought is 'why don't I have clothes on?' then I remember what happened. Hopefully my mother and Prim haven't noticed I've been gone. I put on my clothes and start walking back to my apartment. I slip into my bed and let myself breathe.
"Katniss?" I woke Prim up.
"Yeah?" I whisper back.
"Where did you go last night? Were you with Peeta?"
I blush really red I can feel my cheeks get warm. She's a nurse nothing is a secret to her anymore but she's my little sister and it's still weird.
"Yeah." I turn my face into my pillow. "I was just wondering, I'll tell mom you were helping Finnick last night, he hasn't been well since he heard Annie got taken by the Capitol too." She tells me. "Can you tell her I'm still there? I want to make sure he's okay, did they get any other victors?" She nods her head. "All the victors that aren't here are in the Capitol right now. It was on TV earlier the Capitol believes that they're dangerous now that the rebellion has started." I can't help but feel like it's my fault they are all being tortured for information they don't have. "Thanks Prim." I kiss her forehead and leave to find Finnick.
Gale was patrolling the halls, I asked him where Finnick's room was he told me all the victors were put on the same floor. There were 6 rooms then. One was empty, one was Peeta's, one was Gale's, one was Beetee's, and one was taken by my mother, Prim, and I. I knocked on what had to be Finnick's door.
"Who is it?" He hadn't been asleep all night I bet.
"Katniss. Open the door." The door unlocks. I walk in and there is only Finnick and a bare room.
"Hey." He says. "I heard about Annie. I'm sorry." He laughs.
"You didn't take her to the Capitol did you?" He says.
"No, but it is my fault." I mumble but he heard me.
"None of this is your fault Katniss. If anything your the one saving all of us. You broke us out of the arena. We would all be dead right now if it weren't for you." He begins to tie knots with a rope.
"I could point out I'm the reason an entire District was blown up but I'm not here for that." He quickly undoes his sailor knot, that's all I remember from training. "Are you okay? There are people here that can help." I suggest, I know my mother and Prim helped me after my first games, but I think after two the damage on all of us is irreparable. "They don't understand what it's like to be trapped in a dome with 23 other people that want you dead Katniss." "Yeah, well Peeta and I do so you can talk to us." I stand up to leave and put my hand on the door. "One more thing, why are you being I'm not going to say nice all of a sudden. In the arena you wanted me dead I could tell that much." He says. "I wanted Peeta to live, if he were to live everyone including myself would have to die. Nothing personal. And the reason I'm being nice is because I know what it's like to lose someone too." I tell him, thinking of my father and Rue.
I walk with Finnick to get breakfast and sit down with Peeta."Where did you go this morning?" He asks me. "Sorry, I had to check on Prim." He chuckles. Finnick raises his eyebrows seductively.
"You know your sister is 13 now I think she can take care of herself. Plus your mom is back." From anyone else besides Peeta that would have rubbed me the wrong way.
"I know." Is all I say back.
"So what exactly was that last night?" I roll my eyes.
"I already told you Peeta." I pick at my food I'm not very hungry.
"You were serious?" He asks still not believing.
"Yes. How many times am I going to have to repeat it. I love you." He kisses me and the entire room goes silent, I swear you could hear a pin drop. Finnick smirks at me, Gale looks angry, everyone else just starts eating again. "I have a command meeting after this want to come? They are taking me to twelve." He takes my hand. "Sure, let's go. I dump my half eaten food in the trash and we go to command.
As soon as we get to command we are led to the hovercraft aboveground, about midflight the hovercraft starts to shake and a District 13 citizen that I don't know comes into the room yelling. "THE CAPITOL IS BEHIND US WE NEED TO LAND NOW." They must be coming back to check for survivors. I feel the hovercraft dive downward and Peeta hugs me to his chest as we skid across the floor. I must have passed out because when I wake up I'm in my house, in the Victors Village. I see the light from outside when someone opens the door, to leave or come in I don't know.
My waking up must have made noise, Peeta comes in the door and sees I'm awakw. "What happened? How long have I been out?" I ask. "About 6 hours but you hit your head really hard, Gale had to give you stitches." My hand automatically flies to the back of my head. I feel 10 little bumps, that must be where the stitches were. I look at my hand when I pull it back and it's covered in blood. "You bled a lot, they're still trying to get the blood out of the hovercraft." Peeta laughs a little. "Coin is gonna kill me." I mutter into a pillow. I'm so tired. "Are you feeling well enough to go walk around? They told your mother we were spending the night here, we didn't tell her why though." Good, if my mother found out that I busted my head open she would have demanded I come home immediately and District 13 would never let me come back a second time. It was a big enough risk letting me come once. I shake my head and Peeta climbs into the bed with me.
Next time I wake up light is filtering through the window. Someone knocks on the door and I slowly get up. My entire body hurts. I gently shake Peeta awake and we head downstairs to the kitchen. "Ready to go?" The same person that shouted about the Capitol being behind us asks. "Just a minute." I run back up the stairs to get my fathers hunting jacket, my mother and fathers wedding photo and the book of edible and medicinal plants. Something bright catches my eye ontop of the dresser in my room. I nudge the door open with my foot and inside the room is a single white rose. It's smell too strong to be real and just underneath the sweet flower smell. President Snow was here, in my room, I decide against telling anyone. It might not even be real. I'm still "mentally disoriented."
They take our little group to the woods and shoot some stuff with Gale and I hunting, they catch me singing 'The Hanging Tree' Peeta tells me my father used to sing it walking into the bakery to trade with his father. One of the camera men that I call "the insects" starts to make gestures asking for me to sing more. He must be an avox, I've never heard him speak. Just as our group is headed back to the smoking remains of District 12 a hovercraft appears. At first its small so I wrote it off as a mockingjay but as it got closer it got louder. Cressida started shouting and pointing back to the woods so we ran back to the concrete hut and hid inside. The Capitol was back looking for survivors to take prisoner and they wouldn't hesitate to kill me on sight. They would definently keep Peeta, force him to talk the districts down from a rebellion somehow. The hovercraft is so close now and so low the hut is shuddering. The noise fades away and Gale checks to make sure the coast is clear. He waves a hand forward and we trek back through the woods to the Victors Village.
Once I get back in District 13 Peeta offers to let me stay with him I drop the things from home at my mother and my sisters apartment. I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow.
The next morning Peeta shakes me awake, President Coin wants us in command. I slap his hand a way and mumble something into the pillow. Peeta doesn't try to wake me up again and Coin will be pissed, but I can deal with that later.
Rue comes with me to blow up the careers supplies. She cases after me in the woods none of us bothering to be quiet, my bow is loaded and I can kill anyone within seeing range, and the careers probably already know that. But I'm not sure how... they've never seen me shoot. Suddenly I don't hear footsteps behind me anymore, I turn and see rue slumping to the ground with blood seeping out of, everywhere. Then everything goes black and I feel cold and wet. I open my eyes to be greeted by saltwater. Saltwater? I swim to the surface and the cornucopia is in the middle of 12 spokes leading to land. I see Peeta, Finnick, and Mags waiting for me to get out. Then Enobaria sneaks up behind Peeta and I open my mouth to tell him to run but I'm too late. She's already ripped his throat out.
I fly boltright up in bed. Peeta's side of the bed is cold. "Peeta!" Panic seeping into my voice. "Peeta! Where are you?!" He comes running into the room. "What's wrong?!" I can breathe. It was a nightmare. "Nothing, just stay with me?"
"Always." And we fall back to sleep.
