A/N: Hello again! Today is Brandon Flowers and Lana Del Rey's birthday! Happy birthday, Brandon and Lana! Oh, and it's back to Katniss POV!
Chapter 10
Rory isn't getting any better. Peeta and I tell Prim that he's getting better, but he's not. After he freaked out when Peeta talked to him, doctors have been giving him more expensive medicine, but not all of them work. President Coin is getting frustrated with the doctors. Prim sees right through Peeta and my lies. She knows what's really happening. President Coin knows that if Prim isn't happy, I'm not happy, and I won't be their Mockingjay if Rory isn't better.
"It comes to this, Mockingjay: Rory isn't getting better. We don't know how to get him better. Tracker Jacker poison is too strong for simple medicine to go against. We need you to lead the Rebellion with Peeta. He will be the Jabberjay. We need you two to do this. The Reapings will be coming up in two months. 23 more wasted lives," President Coin says in a meeting. Peeta, Prim, Finnick, Boggs, and Haymitch are here with me.
"In the Capitol, they gave Rory Tracker Jacker poison and showed me doing horrible things, killing the ones that he loves. Maybe we can inject more poison and show how I really feel about him," Prim suggests.
"That could work. Thank you, Primrose," Coin says.
The meeting disperses and Peeta and I go back to our apartment in silence. That is, until Finnick runs up to us.
"You're coming to the wedding, right?" he asks.
"What wedding?" I ask.
"Didn't Peeta tell you? Annie and I are getting married. You're still doing the cake, right, Peeta?" Finnick asks.
"I guess I forgot to tell you. Oh, well. Yeah, I'm doing the cake," Peeta says.
"Hey, Katniss, you and Peeta will be next," Finnick winks.
"Shut up," I say, blushing.
"He'll probably insist on doing the cake for his own wedding," Finnick says.
"I'm sorry that I want your cake to look nice," Peeta says.
"Peeta, it'll look so nice that no one will want to eat it," Finnick says.
"Maybe, but I'll make them eat it," Peeta says. Finnick laughs.
"How?" he asks.
"I'll force-feed everyone there," Peeta smiles. I'm grateful that Finnick is here. He can make us forget about all of the horrible things going on outside.
A/N: Oh my God, I'm so smart. I made Peeta the Jabberjay. Well, I couldn't resist. I would feel bad if Peeta was left behind while Katniss was the face of the Rebellion. So they're both the faces of the Rebellion! Review, follow, and favorite!
