I see the Peace Keepers kick her, and she falls. Without thinking I take out my gun and start shooting. Their are like five Keepers for the capitol and all the rest are from 13. We take them down pretty easily, but a siren starts going off.
I run to Katniss, and see she has passed out. There is blood covering her face, but I can't tell where it's coming from.
"Lets move out!" I shout at my squad, and lift her up.
As we move down the hall way towards the stairs, I hear gunfire behind me.
"Stop! Put her down!" Someone shouts behind me. But I just keep running. I see the stairs coming up in front of me. Stairs or elevator, stairs or elevator? They could shout off the elevators and we would be stuck, but if we took the stairs, they could come from the floors above.
"Which way?" One of my men asks.
"Um...elevator." I hope in the elevator as it opens but only half of the men get in.
"We're staying behind!" They shout as the door closes, shutting out the sound of gunfire. I hit the floor for the ground level, and we speed towards the top.
PPOV
I am pacing around the room, unable to stay still. They should be on the way back, shouldn't they? I can't help but think if I lose everyone, just because I wanted Katniss back. I can't stand loosing Katniss. Before the Quells was announced I wanted to ask her to marry me. For real. Sure we did the toasting, but I wanted a ceremony, friends and family, that kind of stuff. But the Capitol had to ruin my plans once again.
"Hey little dude." I hear Finnick behind me and turn to see Orion crawling, or his version of crawling a cross the floor, followed by Prim holding Poppy.
"I hope it's ok, they wanted you." Prim looks at me, her eyes filled with sadness. She wants her too, I think.
"Yeah thats fine. I think you should get some sleep. It's been a long day." She sets Poppy down.
"Yeah, ok. See you later." She turns and leaves. I know she really wanted to say, "I will see you when they get back. If they get back at all."
I walk and pick up Poppy, sitting down on the ground next to Finnick, who is entertaining Orion with some rope.
"Your kids are cute," Finnick says after awhile, "Katniss WILL see them."
"Maybe."
GPOV
Once out of the elevators, I realize that was the easy part. Every way I look I see Peace Keepers. All I hear is shouting, and gunfire. Screams of agony, everywhere. I wish I could help, but I need to get out. I have to save Katniss.
My group starts running and I see the door. One hundred feet away, Peace Keepers jump, scream, shot at us. Seventy more feet, I feel something hit my arm, and warm blood gush out, I have to keep going. Thirty, half of my men are down, but I keep running. Ten feet left, I sprint with all my might. When I break through the doors I am temporarily blinded by the sun.
After being inside for so long, it's like someone set fire to my eyes, but I can't stop running. I see our hovercraft and bolt. When I make it inside we take off. The others are coming in a different one, we have to leave now.
"Katniss! Katniss! Please, god, just wake up!" I scream.
"Gale!" One of the doctors says, "We will take t=care of her let the others look at you."
"No! I am staying till she wakes up."
PPOV
"Peeta!" Haymitch screams running across the floor. "They got her! They just left the Capitol!"
"Really? How is she? Is she ok?"
"They, um, she's not awake. Apparently she got kick in the head a lot and passed out."
They kick her in the head! "What!"
"I know, but she should wake up soon. She has a major concussion, and like half of her ribs are broken, along with her nose. And they are doing surgery right now, because she has internal damage. But Peeta, she's coming home." He gets all teary eyed. We both need her home. And I can't wait.
GPOV
We should be there soon, like in thirty minutes. I can't believe how hurt she was. She just got out of surgery, and they started like a long time ago.
"She's waking up." One of the nurses on the craft says. I stand and walk into the room. Katniss's eyes are just opening as I sit down.
"Hey," I say softly, "How are you?"
"W-W-What." She looks very scared and moves further away.
"Hey, you fine. You aren't in the Capitol anymore. We are almost in 13." She still isn't talking. "Peeta's there so is Poppy, and Orion." Her eyes light up at the mention of their names.
"R-Really?"
"Yeah, we'll be there in like twenty minutes. Do you need anything?"
"C-Can y-y-you turn of the lights?" She asks softly, I've never heard her speak like that.
"Yeah." I turn off the lights, and sit back down. "You want to watch some t.v.?"
I pick up the remote and she screams, "No please no!"
"It's ok, we don't have to."
"They made me watch t.v. all day. Bombings, torture. Or sometimes just sound. You, Peeta, Prim, the Twins, everyone screaming. All day long." Tears are running down her face.
"I'm so sorry."
"They keep saying you were dead. That I killed you. All of you." She goes on like I'm not there. "I didn't do anything! But I don't know who's live or dead. I don't know!" she starts sobbing, and I'm not quite sure what to do.
"I'm sorry. I really am. I'm just...sorry."
KPOV
I don't know why I just said all that. I think it's because for the first time in a long time, someone will listen. They won't yell or hit, they just listen. "Stop saying your sorry. You didn't do anything, it's not your fault."
"Yes it is. Do you know Peeta and I are friends now? I like him. You deserve him." I stay silent. I don't want to talk, so I turn away from him. He just sighs and stays there.
"Ten minutes, then you can see for yourself. They are alive." He pauses and I think he's done but he continues, "Your kids are cute. When you did that interview they were there. They started crying when you talked. Haymitch calls them the Littles, and it fits them well. They love Peeta. They can crawl now, they learned fast. I think they crawl around, trying to look for you. I can tell they have your personality, at least Orion does, he never listens. Poppy is sweet. Your gonna love them." He gets up to leave.
When he opens the door I say, "I already do." Then he leaves, and I fall asleep. Ten more minutes, and I can see my family, my life, my love, my future.
PPOV
"They're gonna be here in two minutes." Haymitch says. Everyone's here. Prim is holding the "Littles" with Ms. Everdeen. Gales family is here too, along with some others. I can't wait. Time is going to slow. It's like the clock doesn't want to move. One minutes. Fifty seconds. Forty. Thirty. It seems like hours but finally, "They're here."
KPOV
The ground is shaking. No. I don't want to deal with the Peace Keepers again. "Katniss." I role away. Wait. I know that voice. I peak my eyes open. We're here." Gale says simply. "Want to try to walk? It might hurt, but we can always push you." I try to get up but the pain is too much. All I want to do is run out those doors and to Peeta. But I can't barely stand. "Here." Gale sit me down in a wheel chair.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, your welcome."
We go down a long dark hallway that reminds me of the Capitol. Then through a door and into the blinding sun. "Thanks, for saving me."
"Your welcome. It was worth it. Now your back." We go in through another set of doors and turn a corner.
Gale bends down and points ahead. "See? There they are." I squint my eyes and see them. I can't help it, I start sobbing. They are all there. Finnick, Mom, Prim, the Twins, and Peeta.
"S-Stop." Gale looks at me funny, but stops.
PPOV
I hear them before I see them. When they come into view, I see her. She looks worse then she did before. Bruises everywhere. She has bags under her eyes. Gale bends down and says something while pointing towards us, and she starts sobbing.
KPOV
I start to stand, forgetting the pain, and slowly walk/stumble towards Peeta, who comes running at me. Once he's a foot or so away he stops. I close the gap and claps into his arms, sobbing even harder. "Peeta." I whisper, moving my hands to my face. "It's you." The tears keep coming and won't stop, but I don't care. "I-I...Your alive." I press my lips against his, hard, and keep them there till I can't breath. "I love you."
"Two months. You were gone for two months. I missed you so much. I love you." Peeta says against my lips pulling me close. "I love you too." He kisses me again, even harder this time. As we are kissing, I feel something by my leg and look down. Poppy.
I break away from Peeta and sit down on the ground, picking up Poppy. I didn't know it was possible, but I cry even harder. Peeta sits down next to me, handing over Orion. They are so much bigger then they were before, and just as Gale said, they are very cute. "They missed you." Peeta whispers.
"I missed them too." Poppy starts playing with my hair and Orion plays with my fingers.
PPOV
Sitting here with Katniss I think we are finally a family. One messed up family, but a family non the less.
"Sweetheart, I know the Littles are cute and all, but we need to get you to the hospital." Haymitch says. We hand him the babies, and I pick up Katniss, and set her in the wheel chair.
KPOV
Once we are in the hospital, Peeta lays with me on my bed. "Do you want to watch some t.v.? They have some pretty good channels here."
"No!" I shout, then quietly, "Please no."
"It's ok, we don't have to." He squeezes my hand, "Do you want to tell me anything? You don't have to, but if you want to you can." I nod my head.
"I love you. Please never leave me." Tears start coming down my face again.
"I won't I promise. Okay? I love you, I will never leave you."
"Where are the Littles? I like that. The Littles."
Peeta smiles, "They went with Prim, we can see everyone else latter. But for now we are staying here."
"I-I, I never want to go back there Peeta. It's horrible. Screams, thats all you could hear."
"I'm sorry, I really am."
"I'm hungry." I say not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"Ok, what would you like?"
"Anything, except moldy bread."
"What?"
"Thats all they gave me to eat. Moldy bread, and water." His grip tightens on my hand.
"C-Can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, of course."
"What exactly happened? Like after our games? They only told me everyone was dead."
"Well, they bombed 12, and almost everyone died. And all the rest came here."
"Oh."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Not about the Capitol?"
"Not about the Capitol." He assures me.
"Ok."
"Will you marry me? For real, like sign the papers, have people come and watch."
"I-I" Tears start running down my face again, "Why would I say no?" He smiles and Kisses me.
"It's so nice to have you back." I might be mistaken, but I think he's crying too.
