Suzanne Collins Owns Hunger games. I am merely rewriting it as if Katniss switched places with Peeta in Mocking jay.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! WOOT! AND THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO READ!
{-[~*~]-}
Two days. Two whole days they've kept me from Katniss.
But I won't let them anymore.
The excuse that, 'It would be better if you didn't see her', wasn't going to work on me anymore.
I knew it may not end well, but I just couldn't stay away any longer. I needed to help her.
I waited patiently until most people had gone to sleep. My chambers were three halls and elevator ride and a vent crawl away from the hospital. So I did just that.
The halls were clear but when I stepped into the elevator I was joined by a man. "What are you up to this late, son?"
"Just going to get a towel. They forgot to supply me one."
He clicked his tongue and gazed at the door. "Well, not sure if anyone will be on the supply line at this time. But you most as well try."
He steps towards the door and wishes me luck. As he exits I breathe a sigh of relief.
Once I reach the right level I sneak around the corner and open the vent I need to. It's extremely dusty as I crawl through it so I pull my shirt over my mouth.
The painting that hangs on the wall across from the hospital comes into view. I pull up the panel and jump down, landing softly. I see someone enter a room a few feet away, but they don't notice me. This is too easy.
I push open the door to the observation room. I had only seen this once, when they moved Katniss.
Her doctor is standing there and when I enter he begins to move towards me. I lift my fists. "I suggest you leave buddy. you wouldn't want to go up against someone whose survived two hunger games would you?"
I don't bother to watch him leave and I walk up to the window.
Katniss is lying on the bed uncomfortably. Her hands are strapped tightly around her wrists. I can see where bruises have formed, no doubt from when she's struggled against the restraints.
The rest of her body has improved though, most of the bruises are beginning to fade and I can barely see any open cuts
But she's still so thin.
Her eyes are open and she seems to be staring at the ceiling. Not that I can blame her, there doesn't seem to be much else she can do.
I pull over the seat that's in the corner and watch her through the window. After a few minutes she flinches. Her eyes widen and she begins whimpering and pulling against the restraints.
Immediately I'm standing with my hand on the doorknob. What's wrong?
She begins to thrash against the bed and I don't stop myself when I burst through the door. As I get closer I notice how cloudy her eyes look. She can't see me.
I dash to her side and brush her hair from her forehead. I begin to shake her arm. "Wake up Katniss. You're okay. You're safe."
Katniss doesn't wake, instead she begins to thrash more against the bed. Her head slams against the backboard and I panic. I grab the glass of water on the side table and splash it on her face.
I move back as she gasps and wakes up. Her eyes breeze around the room until they land on me.
At first nothing happens. We both stare at each other. But then her eyes widen and she cringes away from me. "You're trying to kill me! Help! The mutt's trying to kill me!"
Her screams follow me as I leave the room. I crawl into the corner and block my ears. She continues to call out for a while, so long in fact I'm surprised no doctors come in to see what's going on.
Eventually she stops calling out and I get up, worried as to why she stopped. I find her staring at the door with a sad expression on her face. I so badly want to go in there and make her feel better.
After a while of her staring at the door, the first tear falls down onto her cheek. Then another, and another. Soon she's sobbing, her eyes still focused on the door.
I can't stand it any longer. I open the door slightly and Katniss's voice sounds through her crying. "Who's there?"
"Peeta?"
"Yes."
She pauses.
"Stand in the corner."
I comply eagerly and I soon find myself being stared at by Katniss. Well, it's more like she's analyzing me.
Why is she analyzing me? What does she think I did?
Her words from earlier sound in my head. "The mutt's trying to kill me!" Is that it? She's checking if I'm a mutt?
How could I prove it to her then, perhaps I could get a blood test or something. Show her a copy of my D.N.A.
But maybe her watching me, seeing I'm not going to hurt her. That might be best.
There must be something I can do though. I need to help her, not just sit here.
After about an hour of this she sighs and turns away. "I'm tired."
I take this as a sign to leave. "Good night Katniss."
The observation room is still empty so I take a seat. Katniss seems to have fallen asleep, but she's muttering something under her breath.
I barely make out the words. "Stay with me." And I turn to go back to my chamber.
"Always."

"There's someone here to see you Katniss. I'm sure you know Haymitch."
Haymitch, the one who conspired with Peeta. "Okay."
The doctor left and after a few moment Haymitch walked in. He smiled sadly at me. "Hey sweetheart."
"Hello Haymitch."
He moved to lean against the wall to my left. "How are you doing?"
"Better than I was in the Capitol."
My old mentor chuckled. "I see you still have an attitude."
"I see you're still a dick." I narrowed my eyes at him. "You tried to kill me, there's no need to act like we're friends."
He frowned and shook his head. "I never tried to kill you. I tried to save you int he first arena. You don't remember?"
That can't be right, I remember when he pushed me against the wall to choke me. "No. You tried to kill me in the training center. As soon as we left the elevator you shoved me against a wall."
"Katniss I didn't. You shoved Peeta, he fell and cut his hands. I pushed you off him."
"That's not how I remember it."
Haymitch chuckled. "Then you're remembering it wrong. I'm sure we have a clip of it somewhere." He turned to the window pointedly.
"Tell me what's going on outside Haymitch."
"Rebellions going strong. Peeta is doing an amazing job, I don't think anyone could motivate like he could. He misses you Katniss."
I squinted. "Why?"
"Isn't it obvious? He still loves you Katniss. He wants to see you again."
"No Haymitch! He wants to kill me!"
My mentor shook his head frustrated. "He has never, in his life, wanted to kill you. You know the first thing he did when we got to thirteen? He agreed to be the mockingjay as long as they rescued you. He agreed to go against everything he stood for to save you."
Impossible. He wanted to kill me. The memories flew by my eyes. He killed Rue, he killed Thresh. He tried to kill me. And the video of him turning into one of those beasts. "He's a mutt Haymitch. We can't trust anything he does."
"What? Peeta isn't a mutt. He's human, besides his leg."
Would Haymitch lie to me? I don't know why anyone would want to lie to me right now. Unless they wanted me dead. But they seem to be going to a lot of trouble to keep me alive. "Stop lying to me! You're all monsters! You all tried to kill me! Go away!"
Haymitch tried to disagree but a doctor came in and took him away. I on the other hand curled in on myself as much as I could manage with wrist restraints. I continued mumbling to myself that they were all liars.
All monsters, all mutts like Peeta.
They killed twelve with their stupid war.

Skip if you aren't interested in reviews/ responses
PrincessRue11 : I'm most likely just going to do a fairly long epilogue, but who knows? Love you and thanks for yet another review!
D. Kenedy : Stronger mind? As in she resists it more? Or that she can work through it better? If the latter then yes she can work through it better than Peeta only because the emotional change wasn't as dramatic (IMO) Like Peeta was IN LOVE with Katniss, but Katniss was in love with Peeta. Understand? XD Love you and thanks!

Keep up the reviews! Those of you who didn't review for chapter one, two, three & four+ still can! REVIEW PLEASE! Also ask some questions so I can answer them :) Perhaps something along the lines of "Are Peeta and Katniss going to get back together?" or "Why doesn't Katniss just kill Snow already along with the peacekeeper?" (Don't actually ask these though unless you want to LOL!) LOVE Y'ALL!
