Short, I know, but I honestly couldn't make it longer. It would have been the size of two chapters and that's not how I write. Anyways, I promised a chapter and here it is.

Disclaimer: I totally own Venus right at this moment.:D

Fault

My hands stilled at his wrists. I looked back into the eyes of the person I most hate in my life. He looked at me, expectant, waiting for my answer. I… I didn't know what to say! I was tongue-tied. I looked back to the Graces and for once I saw the resemblance. The high cheekbones and pronounced noses. I could even say a bit of the insanity was in the family. Saturn with the intelligence. Mercury with her jumpiness and overall craziness. Venus with her evil plans toward how to destroy the Capitol. I never knew the whole family tree of them but I never thought it would stretch this far.

"What!" It wasn't me who said it, but Peeta. It made perfect sense that this was his reaction since he doesn't know the Graces. But it's still a very basic question.

I turned to look at Snow and raised my eyebrows, agreeing with Peeta.

He laughed and all I really wanted to do was punch him. Thankfully, I didn't have to because someone did for me. I looked up to see if it had been Peeta, but to my surprise the punch came from Saturn. Tears were running down her cheeks. Her midnight eyes were red. She raised her fist again to land another punch when Mercury and Venus were backing her away. They also had tears ruining their cheeks.

I caught Venus gaze and it said to keep going. She meant to keep tying him up. I tied his wrists while Peeta did his feet. Suddenly, Vensten materialized behind the huge smoke cloud caused by the explosion. I'll ask who the explosion was aimed at later. There are other things that have me far more occupied than an explosion.

"They're here! Come on! We have to go back to District 13!" He yelled to us. He ran toward us and helped Peeta with carrying Snow. They were going outside where some hovercrafts had materialized. I looked to my right to see the three redheads against a wall. All had they're eyes closed while tears trailed down their cheeks to their necks. I walked over to them and tapped them all to open their eyes.

"Come on. We should get going." They nodded and we started walking, but the farther I got the more I couldn't leave this place. This is where Prim held her last breath. Prim! She can't stay here under this entire ruble. I find Peeta and run to him. "Peeta!" He turns around and looks at me questioning. "Prim!" His eyes widen as he pushes me back to our cell.

"Wait! We'll be right back!" Peeta yells to whoever is riding the hovercraft. We hurried over to the place were Prim laid in a puddle of her own blood. Peeta looks down at her. His face is full of sorrow. He looks at me and I nod. He gently takes the knife off Prim's stomach and lifts her up. Her delicate head resting on his shoulder. She might as well be sleeping.

We walk back in silence. A conversation is not needed at this moment.

When we get back, someone inside the hovercraft helps Peeta with Prim. After that, he helps me up and then he goes. Peeta and I take our seats. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Gale, Finnick, Annie, Johanna, Vensten, Gared, and Zinnia are all in here. None of us say a word. I would like to ask what is all this about President Snow and his family tree, but I know it's not the best moment.

That's when I remember Prim. A fresh wave of pain assaults my body as sobs come and tears fall. Peeta has his arms around me immediately. He doesn't try giving me soothing words because there are no type of words that could make this pain go away. I'm aware that I have an audience but really don't care. This is what I'm feeling and I'm not ashamed of it in any way.

Haymitch comes in making me turn around to face him. He looks happy and sober.

"Nice job, guys! I see you got Johanna, Annie," he looks at Peeta, who is hugging me while I cry, "and Peeta." His smile fades as he sees me. Confusion settles on his face until his eyes widen and he searched the room. Once his suspicions are confirmed, he just sits in an n empty seat and puts his head on his hands.

Anger boils in me. It's his fault after all. I stand up.

"I told you it was a bad idea! I knew she couldn't come! I knew she would die! But you just had to go putting all the people, I love, in danger, didn't you?" My voice catches at the end and I break down once again in uncontrollable sobs. Peeta kneels next to me and tries to calm me down. Haymitch orders everybody to another room, leaving Peeta, him, and me alone.

"You know that I didn't want her to die." He says with what sounds like guilt in his voice, but for all I know, it could be false.

"Do I? Do I, really? I think you just made Prim as a piece of your games. You just love playing games with life, don't you?" My voice has a dark edge that I bet is really scary.

"Look, Katniss. I'm sorry. This was not supposed to happen. I promise you that we will talk when we get back. Right now we have to interrogate Snow." He stood up and made his way to the door. It closed behind him. I just laid there kneeled on the floor, hugging Peeta close to me.

"Let's go, Katniss. I don't think you want to miss this." I nodded and looked at him. His eyes were to the brim with tears. He loved Prim too.

"Sorry." He looked confused as I said it.

"Sorry? You? What for?" I asked.

"For ruining your shirt." I looked at it. It was soaking wet from all my tears. He laughed a little.

"Come on, Katniss." He stood up, grabbed my hand, and led the way.

"Hello, uncle." Her voice was awfully formal and it filled with venom at the word 'uncle'. We were in a compartment that looked strangely a lot like our prison back in the Capitol. We were still inside the hovercraft on our way to District 13.

"Venus." He nodded acknowledging her, his smile never leaving his face.

She slapped him. "Stop smiling, would you? It's creepy and it's getting on my nerves!" She huffed and in any other situation she would have looked childish, but her voice was deadly and it changed everything.

"You haven't changed at all. You have grown, of course. I haven't seen you since…" His smile spread again over his face. Peeta squeezed my hand in reassurance. I squeezed back.

"Since what? Since you came to District 13 and killed our parents? Your siblings! Since you took them away from us and made us grow up without the amount of love we needed from them?" She tried to minimize her anger but it was truly impossible. I had never seen Venus this mad before in all the time I've known her. She took a deep breath. "You think I'm stupid, don't you? Yes, we were probably three or four years old, but I'll tell you something. You never forget the day when you see your mom in a puddle of crimson blood not answering to your calls." Her voice caught at the end of the sentence as fresh new tears flowed down. President Snow's smile faded. "You have no idea of the psychological problems you have caused us. Mercury cries herself to sleep because she is starting to forget how her dad looked. Saturn has emotional breakdowns every time there is a mention of mental illnesses. And me? I commit myself to making plans to figure out how I'll kill you. How I'll destroy you, torturing you until the very end. Because this is one thing I do know for certain," She leaned down and whispered in his ear, "there is no way you're winning this one, uncle."

Eeek! You like? Tell me about how OCC Haymitch was!
