Katniss' POV

Chapter 26:

When I woke up, Peeta was still fast asleep. When I had first waked up, Peeta was nowhere to be found but now here he is, fast asleep. I lean over and kiss him softly on the lips. To my surprise, he does not stir or even wake up. I thought for sure he would.

I decided to get up and stretch my limbs. Once I felt they were stretched good enough I went to look at myself in the mirror. I did not look my best, but I would take it. My hair was a complete mess, most of it out of its braid. I sigh and take out the remainder of my braid. I brush my hair for what seems like ten minutes and then re-braid my hair. There, that looks better.

When I walk back out, Peeta is still asleep. I wonder what time he got back last night. I decided to let him sleep while I go visit Annie. I kissed him on the forehead and walked over to Annie's. I had to talk to her. Something just did not feel right.

I knocked on Annie's door and she opened it right away. She smiled at the site of me. "How are you Katniss?" she asked me. I smiled back, the best I could.

"I need to talk to you," I told her. She nodded and ushered me inside. She closed the door as I plopped on her bed. She sat by my side seconds later.

"I had a sickness yesterday, but I do not know why. Could you give me any advice?" I asked Annie. She put her index finger to her lips as she thought about this.

"Where were you exactly?" Annie asked me.

"In the kitchen," I replied. She thought about this some more. "Have you been experiencing pain lately?"

"Not really," I said.

"Hmm I see," Annie said. She thumped me on the forehead for no particular reason. She giggled. "I don't really know. Maybe you had a bad reaction to the smells. Really, I don't know."

I nodded and thanked her for helping anyway. "I will see you later Katniss! I promise!" she exclaimed as I walked out. Now the big question is, why exactly did I puke or vomit, so to speak? I shook my head as I walked up the stairs in the hospital. I ran right in to Johanna.

"Watch were you are going!" she hissed, not knowing it was me she was talking to.

"Maybe you should watch it!" I called after her once she was at the bottom. She looked up at me with so much anger, I thought I had had it. Her eyes soften at the site of me.

"Oh, it is just you," she said.

"Where had you gone?" I asked.

She let out a sigh. "They think James needs therapy. I can't seem to find the floor though," she replied.

"Peeta's floor, follow me," I said. She ran after me as we jogged up the stairs.

We walked to the therapy room and opened the door slightly. James was lying on the couch, being asked questions.

"Now James, why do you like dusters?" the therapist asked.

"EASY! Dusters are cool, you should try it. I love using dusters as my weapon, especially the feather dusters. I mean I love all dusters but I prefer the feathered ones of the normal ones, if there is a normal duster," James recalled.

"James, are you fine or o.k. or maybe even a little sad?" the therapist asked.

"Well, I am sad and angry," James said. "A little happy too."

"Why? Why are you these attitudes?" the therapist asked.

James took in a deep breath and said, "I am sad because my friend, Peeta can't talk. I am mad at Snow for doing this to him. I am also mad at Finnick because he took the last chocolate chip cookie but that is beside the point. I am happy because I have amazing A+ friends, an amazing girl and DUSTERS!" James shrieked. The therapist let out a sigh as we closed the door.

"I wonder at times why James acts like a nuts person. He really isn't," Johanna mumbled. I shook my head.

"I don't know, it is James we are talking about. Not some crazed moose," I said. Johanna did crack a smile at this.

"How is Peeta?' she asked out of the blue. First we are talking about James being a nut case then how is Peeta.

"He is good. Hasn't spoken a word but good in the most part," I told Johanna. She nodded, taking this all in.

"Snow is so going to pay for what he has done to all of us," Johanna hissed.

"Yep, he should have never done any of the stuff he did," I said through clenched teeth. My hands curled up in to fists by my side.

"Well, I will see you around Mrs. Mellark,," Johanna said. I gasped and hit her in the arm.

"Miss Everdeen, got it Mrs. Russell?" I asked Johanna. She grinned at me.

"Miss Mason!" Johanna called after me as I walked back to Peeta's room. When I entered the room, Peeta was still fast asleep. I sat on the bed and brushed back his hair. I wonder why I puked yesterday. I have no idea but maybe Peeta does.

As I was stroking his hair, Peeta woke up and looked at me. He gave me a warm smile. I love his smile.
