Authors note: Okay here it is I hope you enjoy! Please Review!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games:
I find my way back to Katniss and try to enjoy my meal. The bread is far worse than the stale bread I had to eat back home. Nothing takes my mind off what Haymitch said. We are probably going to run into trouble. Where will Katniss be when we run into said trouble? Knowing her she will want to be right with the others fighting whatever we have to face.
We find our way back to her room. I can tell by the look on her face she wants to know what happened. I really don't know what to tell her. If I tell her the truth she will race to Haymitch and demand to be part of the fight, but if I lie to her she will only find out latter and be angry with me.
"Where did you go?"
"I just needed to talk to Haymitch."
"About what?" Of course she won't let it go.
"Why his face looked like he was attacked. Nice job by the way."
"Okay so I lost my temper for a few moments and redecorated his face. He deserved it. Now are you going to tell me what you and Haymitch were talking about or do I have to talk to Haymitch myself."
"I told him I want to help with the rebellion."
"I guessed that part, what I want to know is what he told you."
"He made fun of me actually, saying that if I wanted to help it would be planning and not out fighting."
"Peeta if you don't tell me everything I'll…" I use the only thing that I have left. I kiss her hoping to take her mind off Haymitch. As soon as I pull away she is back to trying to get the information out of me.
"Kissing me isn't going to work."
"Fine, Haymitch told me that we are most likely going to run into trouble on our way to district 13."
"You weren't going to tell me!"
"I didn't know what I was going to do. I don't want you to be in danger."
"I have been in danger every single day since we were but in the arena."
"I know but I don't want you to go out and risk your life anymore."
"So you were going to join the front lines, bad leg and all, yet you don't want me to do the exact same thing you were going to do."
I speak slowly trying to control my anger. "I didn't plan on fighting at all I just asked to help with the rebellion."
"Well I do plan on fighting." She runs out of her room, probably going to talk to Haymitch, before I can try to stop her. I don't bother going after her, she's right with my leg I would be useless. The best I can do is wait for her to come back.
Katniss:
I run down the hall knowing that Peeta won't be able to fallow me if I ran. Haymitch's room is farther from mine than Peeta's. I am sweating before I reach Haymitch's room. I knock on his door, and to my surprise he actually answers.
"I thought you might be coming to see me soon. So Peeta told you."
"Not much but you need to tell me more."
"District 13 warned us that the capital found out about our location and plan to launch an attack. The capital's hovercraft is planning their attack sometime today. They don't expect us to be ready so we should win no problem."
"Why wasn't I told sooner?"
"You weren't told because you would overreact. Until today you would have thrown a fit because Peeta wouldn't have been able to defend himself."
"Okay but why was Peeta told instead of me."
"Peeta was the first one I saw."
"I want to fight."
"No."
"Why not? You know I could do it."
"You might be able to, but we aren't going to take the chances of you getting hurt."
"I'm not going to get hurt."
"Still we are under strict orders to make sure you aren't involved in anything dangerous."
"So you're taking orders now?"
"No but I agree with these orders. Nothing dangerous for you until we reach district 13"
"Fine, where will I be when this attack happens?"
"I don't know that's up to you."
Peeta:
Katniss come in and I know her talk with Haymitch didn't go the way she wanted it to. I smile knowing that no matter what she does she will be safe when we run into trouble. I truly didn't think Haymitch would agree with me let's admit it this must be a first. She shoots me one look and my smile immediately disappears.
"What happened?"
"They won't let me fight. They're worried that I'm going to get hurt."
"Why does that surprise you? You are the biggest asset to the rebellion. If I were them I wouldn't let you go either."
"Of course you wouldn't let me go. You're probably happy that I won't be fighting."
"Your right, I'm glad. But would you want me to go out to battle, even if I didn't have a bad leg?"
"No but it's different."
"No it's not different and you know it."
Before Katniss can respond, the whole hovercraft shakes and I know that we have run into the trouble as predicted. I see her standing a few feet from me fear in her eyes. Bullets rain down from the ceiling and I know there is no way we are getting away unscratched. The look in her eyes, tell me she knows this as well. I look at her once more and that's when the bullet hit. Pain, an emotion I have grown so accustomed to, makes reappearance.
