Chapter 3:

An arrow speed past me and I hear the sound of someone falling to their death. I try to see who has fallen victim to the deadly arrow, but I find myself unable to move.

A fog clouds my mind and I know I have no hope. I hear more people falling to their death, and know I will soon be joining the body count. I take pride in knowing that my tormenters won't get the satisfaction of watching me die.

Our eyes meet and I want Katniss to know that her attempt to save my life was in vain. Her effort did give me my last wish .I close my eyes and wait for the fog to take over.


I hear talking in the background and wonder where the hell I am. I try to move and find that my whole body aches. What happened? I try to think back but all I can remember is the broken Johanna and then a deafening sound, and my memory fades into nothing.

I don't want to open my eyes because I finally realize where I am. I hear the footsteps coming closer and wonder what torture they have lined up for me now. I hear the heavy metal door open and wait for the hissing voice that has become so common in my nightmares.

"He might be able to hear you now but I wouldn't count on him responding," and unfamiliar voice claims.

"Will he make it?" That voice I recognize, it's Haymitch

All of a sudden the last few minutes before the foe toke over my mind come rushing back. Katniss standing with her bow raised, killing the very people who I thought killed her. Her eyes filled with pure hatred for the people behind me softened as they met with mine.

I open my eyes, willing it not to be another vicious trick of the capitol. My eyes stay fixed on three people, a man that looks so ridiculous he must be from the capital, (he was the owner of the voice I didn't recognize), Haymitch, and Katniss. They are facing each other and don't notice that I am watching them. I try to move so I can hold Katniss in my arms one again, but I can't. I look down at my leg and notice the thick leather restraints.

The vision that I had when I was told that Katniss was dead comes to the front of my mind. Katniss wanting to kill be, blaming me for her death, and I guess I knew deep down in my mind that she really did want me dead. I snap my eyes shut not wanting them to know that I saw them. Pain shoots though my body as I realize what this means. Katniss is working with the capital, the whole attack was a set up to cause me more torment.


Katniss:

I have to leave the room; I can't stand seeing Peeta like this. Before I can get out I hear the doctor speak, and I am instantly back at his side.

"He might be able to hear you now but I wouldn't count on him responding." What he can hear us? Why didn't they tell me before? I want nothing more than to tell him that I love him and I'm sorry I didn't stop his suffering sooner.

"Will he make it?" Haymitch! How could he ask such a stupid question of course he will make it! He has to! There is no other option! I turn to the doctor a watch him closely as he answers.

"Probably, but he will have some damage."

"Of course he will have some damage! Who knows what they did to him! Leave! Just leave! I want to be alone with him!" I don't know why I am suddenly so angry, but I have the sudden urge to send an arrow through the doctor's head.


Peeta:

After Katniss's screaming fit I hear the sound of people leaving. The door shuts and I hear another set of footsteps coming closer. They are barely audible and I know that they belong to Katniss.

She takes my hand and presses it against her lips. How many times have I wanted to kiss her again, have her kiss me? Now the kiss only strengthens the pain. I won't let them know that I am on to their plan. I will let them think that I am falling for it then I will get my revenge.

"Peeta, I'm so sorry. I should have come sooner, but they wouldn't let me. They said it was too dangerous, and I listened." She sounds like she means it, just like she did when she was in the arena, lying about being in love with me. She kisses me on my lips and I wait for the new surge of pain to subside.

"Peeta, I love you." This is my signal and I open my eyes and mouth at the same time.

"I love you too, Katniss." She lifts her head and looks into my eyes. Her eyes dampen, I wonder how long it took her to perfect that look. I put a smile on my face and continue acting. That's all my life is a huge act ever since the Hunger Games. The only difference now is I will be acting a well and I won't be the one that gets hurt.


Authors note: Okay I know it wasn't the best chapter but I needed it for the 4th chapter to make since. I already have the 4th chapter written, but I am waiting for a few more reviews before I publish it. Please review!
