Katniss POV
I wake to my little baby's kick. I smile as I rub my stomach in a simple and comforting way I look up and I realize that my guard is not in my room. Huh, that's the first time I've been left alone in forever. I get up and walk over to the bathroom that's connected to my room. I reach out to touch the door knob to the bathroom and realize that the door's shut. That's unusual, this door is never closed. I grab it to turn it and realize it's locked as well.
I knock on the door and heard some movement inside. Who is in my bathroom? The door swings open and there stands my guard. They have to go sometimes I guess.
"Sorry." He mumbles side stepping out of the way for me to enter.
"It's fine..." I say lowly. I walk in, leaving the door open because I know that he will insist that it remains that way, but he reaches over and closes the door for me. I don't give it a second thought I just use this time alone to start my bath. I undress and slip into the steaming hot water. I let out an sigh as I fully relax into the tub.
I just sit there pondering for a bit well more like half an hour when suddenly there's a pounding at my door. "Get dressed, NOW" my guard yells at me through the door. I step cautiously out of the tub and put on an outfit that has been laid out for me as usual.
The second I'm out of the bathroom my guard takes my hand and begins to run through the hallway just outside of my room. "What's going on? Where are you taking me?" I ask in fear and confusion, not a good mix I would like to tell you.
"There's been a break in we have to keep you safe..." He tells me. We begin to wind our way through the halls to places I have never been before. I look at our surroundings completely oblivious to the fact that the guard in front of me is leading me into the basement of the building.
"Why are we here?" I ask bewildered. Just as I say that the floor below me begins to shake and we both see debris rain down from the ceiling. He turns to me with a look of sheer terror on his face, drops my hand and shoves me forward.
"Run, Just run Katniss! Just go, get out of the basement and save yourself." He screams at me. The debris is falling more rapidly now and the peices are increasing in size, they went from snowflakes to the size of bricks in the few seconds it took him to turn me around.
I turn around to see a beam fall. My first instinct is to run the heck out of the collapsing basement but at the same time I know I have to help the man who is trying to save my life. I decide the only way to save either one of us is to just get us the hell out of there. I turn to find the mysterious guard. I only wish I hadn't. When I do I not only see him but I see that a large amount of the debris that fell is on top of his leg. Sandwiching it in between it and the floor. The man is lying on the ground, face contorted in pain, grabbing at his leg to try to free it, to no success. I begin shifting rubble to try to free the man only to realize that he is pinned down by the beam which I cannot move.
"Katniss you need to go. It's all coming down, save yourself, live for me. Just go there's nothing you can do for me now." He says as he slowly fades out of our world...
"No, no, no, no, no don't die, don't die, please. Just stay with me. " I yell to him even though I know he's too far gone. Tears begin to stream down my face, it's as if Peeta died, not the man lying before me. I wipe my tears away and get up.
I find the stairs and run up them, at least as fast as I can run with my stomach. When I reach the top I realize that I have no clue where I am. I try to follow the path I came to get to the basement but I don't know where it'll lead me back to so there is really no reason to do so. Instead I just take random turns until I recognize something.
I reach the door to President Snow's private study and approach it slowly. I hear a quiet conversation just on the other side of the door. After I consider running as far and as fast away from this place I hear something that peaks my intrest,
"he's with the rebels."
"No, he's not."
"Yes right after he was rescued from the arena they took him to 13 and now he's helping them." I hear Snow say.
"This ruins all of our plans..."
"Exactly, this is why Katniss can never find out about this..."
I turn on heel before one of the men leaves the room, and finds me. I walk down the hall and just as I'm about to round the corner the door goes flying open and out walks President Snow. He catches sight of me and walks to where I stand frozen in fear.
"Katniss why don't we get you back to your room?" He says in a sinisterly calm way. I just stand there and nod my head like a small child asked something they don't understand.
He takes me to an elevator that I didn't remember being there and we ride to my floor. Once the elevator stops we get off of it and begin the walk to my room.
Half way there Snow stops in his tracks grabs my arm and takes off in the direction of the elevator we just got off.
When we get back to the elevator Snow seems to be out of his mind worrying as he presses the button to take us down to the first floor I see a man with blonde hair round the corner.
He runs closer and I recognize him immediately. The blonde hair, those blue eyes, but it can't be him. They told me he was dead, showed me him dying.
"Peeta..." His name escapes my lips like the ghost I know he must be. Before he reaches us however the doors shut and he's gone...
So what did you think? Love it? Totally freaking hate me because I killed someone and ruined the rescue? Well it'll come to pass, in due time my people, in due time. Okay so I will just tell you now, I'm starting school up again here on Monday 8/20 so I won't be updating quite as often... Well leave a review. Happy living and may the odds be ever in your favor!
