Chapter 15- evacuation
Back at the mansion Peter, Erik and the Professor had returned to find Warren and James arguing. "Why did Katniss take so long to leave? It took about half an hour for the Professor to get us all out of our classes and only then we heard her leaving. And don't use the excuse that she was packing, cause nothing was taken from her room." James glared at Warren and then saw the Professor and Peter.
"Who is—" he began. "Peter, Peter Maximoff." He said. "Who are you?" asked Peter. "James Blossoms. Umm, Professor, when did Katniss leave?" he asked, still glaring at Warren. They were all now standing the entrance hall. A huge cloud of smoke came floating through the window and landed in front of them. Katniss' figure came up in front of them. It spoke, "Warren, Professor, Erik, my love, you are in danger, you need to get out of here and my father knows. He will send people here, protect the children." The smoke disappeared. "So, that why it took her so long to leave, is it?" asked Warren. "And you have a problem with that?" asked a voice behind Warren. "Katniss! When did you get here?" asked Warren. "Well, I wasn't going to be any good, stuck in a pink bedroom, don't ask, so I figured I should come here. Who's the other old man?" she asked, nodding at Peter, "Oh, I'm Peter Maximoff!" he said. "And you have the power of speed?" asked Katniss.
"Yes, but I am still slow. Like, I am average speed. If that makes sense." Katniss thought for a moment. "So you wish you were like twenty?" she asked. "Definitely. I was so fast, it was brilliant." He said. "Would you like me to make you twenty again?" asked Katniss, as is if it was the most normal question in the world. "You could? Well, yeah!" he said. Katniss closed her eyes and gold started come out of her fingertips. It went into Peter's chest and his eyes widened. Then everything seemed to happened at once. Peter seemed to be getting taller and his face began to look younger and then a young man was standing in front of Katniss. "Wow. I'm back!" he said. "Yeah, now can we get out of here before we all die or do you have something even more important you want to do?" asked Katniss. "Lets go." Said James.
Some time later, the mansion was full of panic as all the children were running down the stairs, some crying, some calling out for friends or family, some pushing and shoving to get to the front. "I have to leave after all of this. I can't let this happen again." Whispered Katniss to James. They were trying to help but had stopped for a moment. They were in a deserted hallway and all sound seemed to disappear. They were so close to each other when James said, "It isn't your fault." He said and then Warren came round the corner. "Katniss! James... what a surprise." He said, glaring at James. "You are so rude!" said Katniss, shoving past Warren even though there was plenty of room in the hall to get past "Just wanted some peace!" Said Katniss. Warren put his hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off. "Oh, get off!" and she went back to helping the children get out.
