A/N: Question time!
Why did Gale try to kill Katniss if he didn't have to? Simple, he wasn't going to go along with Coin's plan to kill Katniss, but he knew that if he didn't cause that explosion, everyone else would likely die too. He saw this as a chance to go along with the plan, but make it seem like he didn't do it on purpose.
Why would you write about Prim being sent to the Capitol? Well, I knew she had died in the Capitol in the book by the explosion, I wanted Prim to die in the Capitol (not saying I want her dead) but I didn't want her to die the same way.
I think that's all the questions. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and I'll answer it on the next question time chapter. I'll probably do this every couple of chapters.
OMG! I just have to say that I had to say that my dog was on my bed and she pressed the delete button and deleted my whole chapter so I had to start all over again. Luckily I only did one paragraph, but I was proud of that paragraph and I don't even remember what I wrote.
We need more EVERLARK, don't we? I feel like I haven't written hardly any in the past couple of chapters, but they are in the middle of war. I guess I could squeeze in a little everlark for this chapter. Don't worry, there will be much more after they win the war and we get into the peace of Panem.
Sorry if this chapter has some spelling errors, my brother kept talking to me on purpose, just to infuriate me! And it worked! I couldn't concentrate on writing.
Enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: Don't own Hunger Games.
I wake up wrapped in Peeta's arms. Today is the day we march into President Snow's mansion and kidnap him. I will get my little sister back from his disgusting, evil hands if it's the last thing I do. He has no right to take my little sister from me. How did he even get to her? Wasn't she safe in District 13? And why was Coin not protecting all those government officials who were captured? What does Snow want with my little sister?
All these questions are clogging my mind. Questions that are out of my reach. Questions that I cannot answer, not yet.
I feel Peeta stir beside me and I know he is about to wake up, but is not fully awake yet. I kiss his forehead in an attempt to wake him up. He stirs a little more and a smile creeps onto his face, so I know he must be awake now that he is smiling.
"Peeta, wake up." I whisper to him. He only turns a little but goes right back to sleep. "Peeta." I laugh. "Get up, everyone else is going to be up soon."
"Mm... Just a few more minutes." He moans in his early morning voice.
"No get up!" I giggle. "Peeta, please get up."
"What do I get out of it?" He teases.
"Kisses."
"Deal." He says immediately.
I lean over and give him a kiss on the lips, he starts kissing me back and soon we're stuck in a three minute kiss. We don't even realize everyone is awake and watching us until we pull apart. They're all smirking and smiling at us.
"What?" I snap. I think that was a glimpse of my old personality, before I lost all my memories. I remember having memories where I acted somewhat like that. I don't know.
They all look away after I snap at them.
"You acted like yourself again." Peeta observes.
"I thought I did, but I wasn't sure." I say honestly. "Do you not like me like that?"
"Katniss, I'll always love you, no matter what."
"Promise?"
"Cross my heart." He gives the sweetest smile I've ever seen, I can't help but kiss his lips.
"I love you too." I say.
"Always?"
"Always." I answer.
"Okay, love birds." Cressida laughs. "It's time to go."
"What's the plan?" I ask.
"You and Peeta head towards the mansion first, in disguises provided by Tigris. Homes and I will go next and Cressida will stay here." Gale says. "After you get in the crowd of people, keep your head down. I'll give you all nightlock pills so if you get captured you can take one and it will painlessly kill you. If someone gets captured, do not, under any circumstance, go back for them, just keep going towards Snow's mansion. Got it?" Everyone nods their head in agreement, although I'm not too comfortable with the plan. I don't want to leave anybody behind, especially Peeta, if anyone gets captured. I can't just let the peacekeepers have them and use them as their little dog toy!
"Ready, Katniss?" I'm brought out of my thoughts by Peeta's voice.
"Yeah." I say. "Let's go." We get our disguises on quickly.
Peeta and I head out the door into the crowd of people. In the distance we can hear President Snow's voice recording over loud speakers.
"All Capitol citizens, please make your way to my mansion where we will provide you with food, clothing, and shelter." The speakers repeat over and over again.
Once we are in the crowd of people, Peeta and I put our heads down, avoiding eye contact it with anyone. I look up once to see our surroundings and notice peacekeepers checking every face they come across. I nudge Peeta's arm to get his attention. He looks up and sees the peacekeepers.
"Turn around." He tells me. We were almost to Snow's mansion, but we can't go now, we'll get caught. These peacekeepers are obviously looking for us and we can't risk getting any closer.
I'm just about to turn around when I hear my name being called by a feminine voice.
"Katniss!" She screams. I know this voice, it's Prim.
Peeta doesn't hear it, or see me. I don't want him to follow me, so I have to go towards Prim without him seeing me.
I walk a little slower than Peeta, following him for a split second and then turning around to go towards Prim's voice.
"Katniss!" Prim screams. I can't see her, but I know where the voice is coming from. Once I'm far enough away from Peeta, I see her. A peacekeeper has a hold of her and a gun pointed towards her temple.
"PRIM!" I scream and start running towards her. I almost get close enough to her to touch when the peacekeeper pulls the trigger and my little duck falls to the ground, dead. "NO!" I scream and look up to the peacekeeper with pure hatred in my eyes. I don't even speak to him, I just pull my bow out of my clothes that kept it hidden and aim for his scull. He aims his gun at me, but I shoot him before he can pull the trigger. He's dead.
I kneel down next to Prim and cry. "No..." I sob. I hear something overhead that sounds like multiple hovercraft's, but I don't bother to look up. How could this happen to my little duck? Why would someone be so cruel as to kill an innocent little girl?
I'm brought right out of my thoughts when there is an explosion, knocking me backwards and catching fire to my garments. Everything is a blur after that. I can barely make out my name being called by, who I assume to be, Peeta. But the bombs don't stop there. I can hear another round of bombs go off, but too far to touch me. Everything after that is blackness.
I wake up in a hospital bed with my mother by my side caring for my burns. Also in the room is Peeta and Haymitch.
"Hey honey." Peeta says. "How are you feeling?" I don't answer, just nod my head sadly.
"The wars over." Haymitch tells me. "After Snow set off those bombs, killing a group of Capitol children, everyone was against Snow for being so cruel."
At least I can be happy that the war is over, but I really have nothing else to care for anymore. Prim is dead. She was everything to me. I have nothing now. I don't want to have anything. I don't deserve him, he deserves much better. All I've done for my whole life was kill. I've killed animals, children, adults. I'm a monster. Most everything I remember about myself is all the killing I've done and there's a lot.
"Can I go home?" I ask, even though I know my home was destroyed and no one lives there. I just want to be alone. Forever.
"No." Haymitch tells me. "You have to stay here for Snow's trial and if you still want to, you can do the honor of killing him.
I don't want to kill anymore, but this man has taken everything from me. My memory. My home. My sanity. My sister. I have to be the one to kill this man.
"Yes, I want to kill him. I have to." I reply. I look to Peeta and want him so bad, but I know I don't deserve him and that he should be allowed to live a happy life with someone he loves.
After a while everyone leaves, except for Peeta.
"You don't have to stay here." I say. "I understand."
"I'm not going anywhere." He tells me.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I love you. I promised I would love you forever and I will." He says. "You promised me too, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember." I say. "But I don't deserve you. I remember Haymitch telling me once I could live a hundred life times and not deserve you. He was right." Tears fill my eyes.
Peeta caresses my cheek, pulling my eyes up forcing me to look at him.
"Hey, that's not true. You understand me?" He tells me. "I don't care what Haymitch said, he was probably drunk at the time anyways."
"You got that right." I smirk. "But I don't know. I want you to live a happy life with someone who deserves you. I could never make you happy."
"Katniss, I don't want anyone else. I only want you. You are the only person who could ever make me happy. Do you understand me? I couldn't live without you in my life. I love you."
I start sobbing uncontrollably and Peeta wraps me in his arms.
"I love you too." I sob. "I love you so damn much."
"Katniss, now that this war is over, can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"Will you marry me?"
I smile. "You don't even have to ask. Of course I'll marry you. I love you."
"I love you too."
