Chapter 26

"We aren't sure of your condition." The doctor told Peeta and I, the day of my appointment. His name is Dr. Fenning. "She could be acting this way because of all the trauma from the games and war. She has experienced a lot in the past several years."

"Is there anything we can do to stop it?" Peeta asks.

"We're not sure." The doctor told us. "We do have medication for this type of thing, but it has not been proven to work. We recommend the medication and therapy, to help with Katniss' condition."

"What kind of therapy?" I ask.

"Therapy that will help your mind heal. But, again, we are not sure it will work."

"If it isn't healed, can it be dangerous?" Peeta asks.

"I truly wish I could answer that. But we don't see very many cases like this, so it is hard to tell." Dr. Fenning said. "But, we have the medication handy, we could give it to you right now, if you like."

"Yes, please." Peeta says.

"Katniss, I'll get in touch with a therapist from the Capitol, somekne who is willing to come down here to help you."

"Thank you, Dr. Fenning."

…...

A week later, my new therapist, Dr. Jay, comes to our house, to start the therapy. I don't feel like I really need it. Zoning out for an hour or two isn't as bad as it sounds. Although it scares the living life out of Willow, Rye, and Peeta.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Mellark." Dr. Jay greets us. "As you know, my name is Dr. Jay."

"Hello, Dr. Jay. Please, come in." I greet him inside.

"Thank." He says. I tell him to sit on the couch while I get him some tea. Peeta gets acquainted with Dr. Jay.

"Here is some tea." I say, as I give Dr. Jay and Peeta their tea.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Mellark." He says. "Well then, let's get started, shall we? I'll just ask you a few questions, and you can answer them as best you can. First question, when did this all start?"

Dr. Jay asked a few more questions, as we try our best to answer them.

"So," Dr. Jay says. "It appears that your episodes, as I'll call them, only happen when they are triggered, sort of like with Peeta's tracker jacker venom. Now, what I want to figure out, is what triggers these episodes."

"She seems to zone out whenever we get too in depth with the games and the war." Peeta answers for me.

"Now, Katniss." Dr. Jay says. "Do you see anything when you are zoned out?"

"Y-yes. I am usually see darkness, and then it changes. Usually, it'll be my whole life, starting at the first games, and I'll see all the bad things that has happened in my life. It's never gone farther than Prim's death."

"So, it's is from the trauma of the games and war. It makes sense. It's kind of like what happened to Gale Hawthorne after the war, his mind just lost it. Your mind is similar, but your not going crazy, but it can probably be cured, although it will take a long time to help this kind of case." Dr. Jay says.

"How long do you think it will take?" Peeta asks.

"Longer than we want it to, I'd say about twenty to thirty years before her mind is fully healed."

…...

That night, I call Gale for the weekly check up call, as part of his treatment so he can be cured.

"Hey, Gale." I say into the phone.

"Hey, Katniss." He's been getting a lot better, he's my friend again, and we make good conversation. "I have some good news!"

"What is it?" I ask.

"They told me I've healed enough to move out of the asylum."

"Gale, that's great!" I gasp. He's been in the asylum for about 4 months now. To be honest, he's healing much faster than I thought he would.

"Yeah. I'll be moving back to District 2 next month, but I'm going to spend the first month in the Capitol."

"Well, I'm proud of you."

"So, what have you been up to? Have you gone hunting at all?"

"I haven't been hunting much lately." I don't hunt as much anymore, because I zone out a lot in the woods, although, some days I have to go out for a little bit.

"Oh. So what have you been doing?"

"Just taking care of the kids. Willow started school, so she's not home as much anymore."

"Well, good for her."

I hear Rye start crying.

"Oh, I have to go, Gale. Bye."

"Bye."

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I'm getting bored of this story and have little ideas.

Got any suggestions? Let me know, I'd love to hear from you.

I might end this story soon, because I really want to start on something new. Like the sequel or something. So let me know if I should make this a longer story, or stop it in a few chapters and start the sequel.
