SO I was thinking, I thought that I can at lease write a few more chapters but I am really sad to see this story end! BUT I am thinking about writing a sequel since I added up what you guys said and it seems that the sequel is winning so far!
I did write this chapter in Peeta's POV but I will write the next one in Katniss's. Enjoy!
Peeta's POV:
Gale kissed Katniss! How could he? We are married… well, almost married. The slam of the door makes Gale jump and turn around. His face turns a shade of bright red as he steps away from Katniss. I see that she is still sleeping and unaware of what just happened. I notice that she's okay and all I want to do right now is take her in my arms. Instead, full with hatred and anger, I walk towards Gale, ready to punch him but I know that Katniss wouldn't want me to do that. She would hate me. So I walk to Katniss instead and just stare at Gale in disbelief.
"Peeta- I- I-I didn't-"Gale stutters. "It's not what you think." He gets out. I am so stunned right now; I don't know what to say. It's exactly what I think. Gale still loves Katniss.
"GALE! How could you? I trusted you!" I yell at him. The sound of my voice cause Katniss to stir making her moan and call my name. She's so weak, it's more like a whisper.
"Peeta, please-" He starts but I cut him off.
"Get out. Now." I demand. Gale walks to the door and I watch his every step. When he gets to the door, he turns around.
"I'm sorry." He says and with that, he walks out the door. I can tell he is sorry. But I have other things to worry about. Katniss. I look down to see her eyes still closed. Her chest rising and falling in a continuous pattern. There is a light pink scar that runs across her chest where her heart is. Multiply wires and needles are connected to Katniss, sending medicine through her blood stream to keep her stable. Bandages cover her whole stomach and most of her chest. She looks so lifeless, so broken. The sight of her in this terrible stage brings tears in my eyes and the next thing you know, my eyes flood with tears and they stream down my face. I burry my head on the side of Katniss's bed and I sob.
I don't know how long I have been crying but I stop when I feel fingers running through my blonde hair. I look up and I see Katniss awake. I smile and wipe my tears. She gives me a weak smile and takes a deep breath.
"Peeta," She says weakly. Her tone almost brings back the tears but I remember that she will grow stronger now. There is nothing in her from the Capitol that will make her weaker.
"I'm here Katniss, everything's okay." I tell her. She nods and I look into her glassy Seam eyes.
"We have them. Coin and Snow. They are here in 13 down in a cell. Once you get better, you can kill them. If you want." I tell her. Her eyes get wide and I can tell that she's stunned too.
"I want to kill Snow." She says. I know she has been waiting to kill him. Now we have him, she can. I can kill Coin. She betrayed us. Gale betrayed me. I wonder if Katniss knows anything about that. Was she awake? Did Gale talk to her? There is only one way to find out but I won't ask it directly.
"All the soldiers are back," I tell her.
"Finnick, Gale, Johanna. Are they all okay?" She asks. If she's asking if Gale's okay, then she must have been asleep. Either that or she just doesn't remember it.
"They all made it back safely," I reply and with that she nods her head and falls asleep.
The doctors say that she will have to be in the hospital for at least two weeks. Prim often comes to visit and so does her mother. I know Katniss is getting stronger. Her personalities are coming back like how stubborn she is. One time, she wanted to walk around the hospital but the doctors wouldn't let her. She wasn't taking no for an answer so with my help, she was able to get out of bed and out of the room. Gale hasn't come to visit her since that first day. I tell Katniss that he too is in the hospital because I don't want to tell her what happened. But I know that he is perfectly fine and out of the hospital.
Two weeks goes by and Katniss is discharged from the hospital. She is back to normal and is ready to kill Snow. The execution will take place tomorrow and it has been decided that Katniss will kill Snow and I will kill Coin.
Katniss isn't hungry and neither am I so we walk to my room instead of the cafeteria to eat dinner. She lies on the bed and I lay down with her.
"What if I miss tomorrow?" She asks. How can she think that? She can hit the squirrels right in the eye every time.
"You won't miss, trust me." I ensure her but she doesn't answer. I decide to drop the topic.
Another thought pops in my head as I think of how much I love Katniss. Are we married? Snow ruined the wedding and we couldn't finish. Does she want to do it again, or pick up where we left off?
I get off the bed and the sudden movement makes Katniss sit up. I get on one knee and she smile.
"Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me again?" I ask her. Her smile grows wider.
"Of course, Peeta!" She answers and I pull her into a hug. It wasn't an actual proposal; I could have asked her what she wanted to do. But we are getting married again and there will be no Snow or Coin to stop us.
We lie back on the bed and get under the blankets. We kiss and only break apart for air. Eventually, she falls asleep and I close my eyes.
I am awakened by the sound of the shower starting in the bathroom. I look over, expecting to see Katniss, but I don't. She must be getting a shower before the execution. I roll out of bed and put on a plain shirt and pants. A few minutes later, Katniss comes out, dressed, and her hair in her signature braid. She smile and we walk down to breakfast.
We both have toast and cereal at a table by ourselves. Gale is sitting with Johanna at another table but I was able to convince Katniss to sit at another table with just the two of us. When we finish eating, we make our way down to the room that the execution is being held in. It's a pretty big room. More like a stadium with a stage set up. Haymitch and Finnick are already here, setting up everything. Haymitch walks towards us and hands Katniss and bow and arrow and me, a knife. I have been practicing at the training center and I can hit the target… most of the time.
A few minutes later, everyone is in their seat and the guards bring out Snow and Coin and a hush falls over the room. Haymitch makes a speech but I'm not listening. I glance over at Katniss intertwine our fingers together. I give her a squeeze and she gives me a squeeze in return. Haymitch finishes his speech and we take our places. I look at Snow and he is standing tall, looking ready to die. I shoot Coin a glance of discuss and I raise my knife, ready to throw.
I look over at Katniss who has her bow and arrow pulled back.
"One three." I whisper so that only she can hear it. "One," I start.
"Two," She whispers back.
"Three." I say and I throw my knife at Coin at the same time Katniss releases her arrow, aimed at Snow.
I will have the next chapter up tomorrow! (hopefully!) Please tell me what you guys think about what I should do about my next story/sequel. I have the poll up, you can review or message me! Thanks you guys!
