Katniss's POV

I look Cato's dad, who said his name is Francis, in the eye. "Cato was going to kill me, what was I supposed to do? Survive all that time almost dying so many times, just to say 'screw it' and let him kill me?" I tell him where im hanging from my hands and feet and forehead on a metal wall. Francis shrugs. "Why not?" I look at him like he's the Devil himself when he took a step sloser I spit on his face.

Mason, the oldest, and Joshua, the youngest, looked at their dad. Mason got a rag and wiped Fransic's face. The dad was so dependent on the two boys, I bet the only reason why he's mad about Cato was that Cato was extra labor. Joshua sat in a metal chair. Always watching me. He hasn't slept for the whole week I've been here. I only know that it's been a week because theres a little window with bars on it, as if I could even get out of the metal hinges that held me up.

"All I'm saying is I gave Cato no reason to want to hurt me and he automatically hated me. I just don't get it. I'm sorry that I was the one that killed him, but to be honest if not me, someone else would've. I just got to him before Peeta could push Cato off the ledge and die with him. I was protecting Peeta and I, and you don't know what it feels like to have to do that" I say at them all. Joshua looked down for the first time in a very long time. "I did it for Prim." This made Joshua tear up and Mason look away. Francis looked at me with hate in his eyes.

"Katniss, if we just reached an agreement, you could live a normal life with Peeta and your kids and someone else that felt the same way about the Hunger Games as we did could take over and we could pick up at the 76th Hunger Games. Everything would go back to normal." I shake my head. "I am the President and I get to decide what will and will not happen, I won't make a deal with you because you have nothing on me and we both know it. You have no argument, and I refuse to talk to you anymore." I can't look down but I sure in the hell didn't have to look at Francis.

Francis looked down. "Take her down, she looks uncomfortable, and I don't want a prgnant woman uncomfortable." I make a face at Francis. "I'm not pregnant." I lie, Francis laughs. "Yes you are. Mason catch her so she doesn't fall and Joshua take her down, I'll get a meal prepared." I look as Mason and then at Joshua. Mason walks over with pity in his eyes. When his dad is gone he looks me in the eyes. "I know it wasn't your fault. I'm sorry, I really am." With that the metal hinges snapped open and I fell a good five feet and landed in Masons very muscley arms. He stands me upright adn I feel queezy. "Thanks." I tell the boy and then I look at Joshua.

"He made us say those things on the t.v." Joshua said and then I heard the door snap open. "So don't even think about trying to get out!" Mason yells at me with what I can only hope is fake fury in his eyes. I nods and he winks at me. taken aback I see that Francis was looking at his son with a mix of surprise and proudness. Francis brings the food to the metal table and then motions to a chair for me. "And when your done eating slip the plate under the door, in exchange we will give yo a pair of pajamas and then you can sleep on the couch in here. I'm pretty sure Mason explained why you shouldn't run away, so I'll leave you to it." The man looked at his boys and then looked at me He turned around and the boys followed him. They shut the door and then I hear a series of locks and steps down a long hall.

When I'm sure they're gone I walk over to the food and start eating. Meat and vegtables and potatoes, it was good to. When I was done I slipped the plate under the door and as promised I got pajamas in return. Sliping the pants and shirt on fast becasue I felt a surge of tiredness wave over me very very fast. One of my last thoughts before I fall on the couch was 'something in my food.' My shoulder was being shook rapidly when I awoke. Joshua and Mason was standong over me with scared looks on their faces. Mason talked. "Katniss, dad is putting stuff in the water you drink, it relaxes your muscles and alters your memory a little. Try and remember that dad is the bad guy and you ARE the President." I look back and forth at the boys and nod.

My head hurt very much. After a few seconds Joshua takes a pen out and lifts my shirt sleeve up to y shoulder and writes. YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT, FRANCIS IS BAD. PEETA LOVES YOU. YOU HAVE TWO KIDS. MASON AND JOSHUA ARE GOOD. DADS TRYING TO OVERTROW YOU SO THE HUNGER GAMES CAN BE REBORN. REMEMBER! I tell him thank you and pull my sleeve down again. Repeating the words in my head.

As far as I can tell I haven't forgotten anything. But then again if I had forgot it, then I wouldnt remember having it in the first place. Francis walks in right after Mason and Joshua take a seat staring at me like watch dogs. Right after Francis walks past both boys with a glass of water in his hands Mason and Joshua get up and tackle Francis.

... Well I didn't really wanna go any further at once. Anyway, thank you guys so much for reading it, it means a lot to me.
