A/N: Sorry for the lack of updating the past few days,I've got school and all-so...yeah. I'm back-on with the story! Oh,and by the way-I thought I should mention,I got the story title from the Revive song Don't Give Up The Fight.
Immediately after that,Gale called back to 13 and told Katniss' mom to meet us when we land. Orion was still oblivious to what had just happened,and kept needing to be reminded. It seemed to take forever to get there.
When we finally got there,Katniss started explaining everything-starting with her dream last night,to her mom as we hurried through the catacombs. Gale took Adara to the training center to let her play with the multitude of bows and arrows,as she usually did. As for the rest of us,every minute was excruciatingly long. Even though it was only a 5 minute walk to the hospital where Katniss' mom worked-it might as well have been an eternity.
Orion was still in a daze when we got there,just kind of staring blankly in my general direction in front of him. After checking over his vitals,and everything turning out normal,Katniss' mom was stuck with the decision of what to do next. This was obviously not the Orion everybody always sees,something is obviously wrong. And I don't even remember about my initial reaction until one of the other doctors starts looking him over.
"Umm...Mrs. Everdeen?"
"Yes,Peeta?"
"Back on the hovercraft,you know when this all started? It reminded me of those tracker jacker attacks I still get sometimes. Is it possible that..."
I started trailing off,trying to choose my next words carefully. With everyone still looking at me,waiting for the rest of what I was saying,I have to whisper the next part.
"...That is might be my fault?"
"Peeta- how could it be your fault?"
Katniss asked me,obviously thinking that I must have finally lost my marbles.
"Well,I mean,think about it- did it or did it not look like my tracker jacker attacks?"
Everyone in the room takes a few seconds to ponder this thought.
"Peeta... wait a second. I'm not sure that hijacking can be passed on for parents to children..." Ms. Everdeen stops to think,looking at the other doctor.
"...Can it?"
"Someone call defense...we might have to look into this. In the meantime,lets run a blood test and a CT scan...i think that should go easily seeing the state he's in."
As soon as the room cleared,Orion started looking around the room,finally letting his eyes land on me and Katniss on the side of the bed. He cocked his head.
"When did we get here? What's going on? We're in District 13 right? This can't be District 12."
I felt Katniss let out a sigh of relief, from where my arms were around her waist. Together we tried to explain to him what had happened,but it wasn't going very well. Ms. Everdeen puts us all out of our misery when she comes in to do the blood test on Orion.
"Woah! Who said anything about needles!" He jumped back.
"Well...it looks like someone's feeling better."
"I don't even no what happened! The last thing I remember is I blacked out. Then all of a sudden I'm in here and Mommy and Daddy are trying to tell me what happened and I just wanna go home!" He starts crying his eyes out before he finishes.
Katniss jumps to pick him up and hug him,try and calm him down. My eyes meet Katniss' mom's and at that moment,we both realize that we have to see if it's possible. If it could be the capitol's fault,because they messed with me. If that is what happened...this just got personal.
