Chapter 10 KPOV
I wake up to this blinding light. I try to force my eyes open then a large figure blocks out the light for me. I look up to find none other than Thresh.
"Good morning Kit-Kat!" Threshes deep voice sounds like a six year old kid.
"Good morning Threshy-boo!" I say my voice groggy just getting up from a peaceful sleep. I snuggle back into my pillow. I wonder how it got so warm. I hear Thresh chuckle.
"Hey don't get too comfortable!" Marvel yells from somewhere across the room.
"What do you mean?" I say snuggling into the warmth under my head waiting for sleep to come back to me.
"Why don't you see for yourself." Finnick says. Just then I feel my pillow vibrate. I slowly remove my head from the thing I assumed was my pillow to find Cato there laughing. I'm sure my face changed all sorts of reds before deciding on a nice crimson.
"Hey! Why are you on my bed?" I say, cheeks burning with embarrassment.
"You were having a… fitful sleep so Prim and Rue come and got me. I went to go check on you and when I came back those little munchkins went and took up my bed telling me there was no room left. So they told me to go cuddle up with you. When I got into the bed you flung your hand over to the side and hit me in the face really hard. So I picked you up and laid you back on my chest. I got hit a few more times but it was worth it." He said smiling into every word. I looked down to my feet and noticed a few scratches.
"Prim! I told you to get rid of that demon you call a cat!" Prim peaks around the corner and says a sorry and then I feel someone pick me up and set me on their shoulders. I squeal and look down to see Thresh. He smiles up at me then yells out,
"Cato catch!" When I realize what he is going to do I'm already in the air. I look down to Cato in horror. Then I clash with Cato. Cato let's out an ' oof ' and the landing knocked the breath out of me. When I finally catch it Cato gives me a big sloppy kiss. I giggle into the kiss and pull away. Cato give me a pouty face. So I go into give him another kiss when Finnick yells out,
"Ok quit the kissing it's not very pleasant to watch." I look at him and stick out my tongue.
"Yeah well it's not very pleasant when we walk into the bathroom after you come out Finnick so I wouldn't be talking." Cato counters back. I giggle then become serious when I remember we have to fight in about 2 hours.
"Ok come on guys let's be serious. We are going to be fighting the Capitol and I need you all to promise me that whatever happens, just keep going. Get out alive. I'll handle President Snow. Just make sure you all are safe. Please!" I says looking into all of their eyes pleadingly. They all look back and Clove speaks out.
"No Katniss. You will come out with us don't even try it. I can't loose you. You are too good to be here in the middle of this mess and President Snow is the one targeting you. Not us and yet you still worry about us not giving yourself a thought. It's not fair Katniss you have to take care of yourself too. Now you need to promise us you will come back." Clove looks at me with the same pleading look. I scan the room to see all eyes are on me and waiting to hear my decision.
"I can't promise anything. But I will promise that you all are coming out of this mess. This has nothing to do with any of you but your helping me. You guys don't deserve to be here. This is all my mess. Thank you for helping. I wouldn't be here if it was all for you all." I say sincerely looking into the eyes of everyone who is looking my way.
" Katniss. Please just think of how we will feel if we loose you. It wouldn't be fair to us. If we lost you in the process of winning we wouldn't be the same. You may think your just another problem in the world but your not. Your much more. And no one deserves to think like that. Please!" Prim says. I look around and sigh.
"As long as it keeps you safe." I say just as the clock strikes 9.
"It's time. Grab your weapons!" I give out orders. I grab my bow and arrows, and knifes the ones Beetee designed for me. Then wait for the others to head out to the Capitol. Prim runs up to me and says,
"Please Katniss come back for us. We need you more than anything." She cries. I nod then we all head out. We are right behind Snows mansion in the forest. I put my finger to my lips to show them to keep quiet. I then creep over to the mansion without making a sound. Rue hops up into a tree. Thresh takes his group and goes to one side of the mansion while Gale takes his to the other. The rest of the groups go in towards the back. When we get to the walls I climb the stones telling them to get their weapons ready so they can strike when needed. I get up to a window and look through. I see what looks like a conference room. I climb up to the next window to see President Snow walking around with several pictures in his hand. When he throw them down I see that they are pictures of me. Then the television comes on to show my past Hunger Games. Then through a little crack in the window I hear Snow talking to himself.
"How will I take her down?"
"She is obviously to damaged to get up. How could I make this even more torturous for fire wad here?" I look back down to the picture when I see something red on the side in delicate writing. It says
' Find the weakness of fire. Destroy everything precious to her.'
I look down to the rest of the group then climb back down. I find the secret hidden passage way down on the ground that led us to claim victory up until now. I open the hidden hatchet and say,
"Follow me." Then I jumped down the hole. I proceeded to crawl after everyone got in. when we got near the end of the trail I stop and whisper to them all,
"Ok I know where Snow is but we have to be very quiet. Make as less noise as possible and only take down peacekeepers if needed." They all nod then I open up the other end of the wall. We all get out and go down the hall way to find the stair case. There are lost of twists and turns and there are doors on each side of the staircase. When we get to the top I creep through the door to the roof. When we all are up there I open another hatched leading to a closet that was in the room Snow was in. Once I get in I look down where the door parts with the floor to see if I can see any movement. By the looks of it President Snow is still pacing. It sounds like he is talking to someone.
"Look if we are going to put Katniss Everdeen back into this new game we will have to make it special. Since it's the first and only time this will happen. If she makes it out then I guess we will have to make her life an arena. Like trap her home. We could have tracker Jackers infest her home or something if she comes back. Make her life unbearable for her anymore. Scare her out of her wits." Says the voice of Seneca Crane.
"Yeah we could do something like that but this time for a twist to the end we will have clones of all of her loved ones lit on fire trying to kill her. Then she won't have no choice then to die or kill them either way she will lose. So lets get this all set out." President Snow says with his signature laugh. I see the 2 pairs of feet head for the door then walk out but continue their discussion in the next room. I take this as my chance to sneak out with the others. I creep out of the closet opening it up for the others. Once we are all out and into the room the door to our left opens to reveal a old, bruised, bleeding woman. Her face is covered in what looks like her own blood. She has big welts everywhere visible. Her legs have dirt everywhere and it's like she hasn't showered in months. She opens her mouth to speak.
"Katniss is that you?!" The old woman exclaims keeping her distance like she is afraid we will hurt her. Her voice comes out strangled but it doesn't take long for me to realize who it is as I take her in my arms and shush her while she cries silently.
"I am so sorry I went missing. Snow caught me and kept me in this dungeon like room where he sent people there to beat me. Please forgive me I love you." The old woman before me says. I am silently crying too. Reuniting with a person I considered family after the longest time. I cried mainly because they would do something like this to her.
"It's ok. Please don't cry. We will take down Snow and you can help us to. You can see your tormentor go down. I love you so much." I say as I stroke her knotted hair. Why would they do this to her?
A/N: Hi ya'll. So who do you think the woman was? You'll find out in the next chapter. But guess anyways. Whoever gets the answer right the next chapter will be devoted towards them. Let the games begin! Lol. Thanks for reading. REVIEW and follow. It means a lot J So Pm me and tell me who should star in my cancer story. Should it be Katniss/Finnick, Katniss/Marvel, Katniss/Cato, or Katniss/Peeta? You will decide! So thanks bye.
