Katniss Pov

I'm instantly confused trying to figure out what he means. Why can't they know? Then it comes to me. It's obviously important and he doesn't trust them. As much as they have "helped" us he knows as well as I do and probably Prim as well because she's not stupid she knows just as well as I do that Coin and Plutarch are just using us for their own personal gain. I also don't doubt for a second that Coin couldn't have rescued Peeta before he was hijacked. That brings up a question that honestly scares and angers the hell out of me. So I ask Haymitch

"Haymitch, how far away was Peeta from the hovercraft in the arena." Trying so hard to keep the fear out of my voice. He looks at my sister and I knowing the bond we shared with Peeta and that we both loved him in different ways. For Prim he was her big brother, and he and I were her whole world, and now half of it has been ripped away from her as well as me. For me I he's my other half and I love him in a romantic way even though he doesn't know it. This brings up a memory from right after the Victory Tour.


I'm in the meadow with Prim watching her play and pick flowers. I walk over to her and help her make a crown of flowers, which I vaguely remember doing when I was really little. When we finish we make two more. I assume the third is for my mother, and the second for Lady or one of her friends. I take the first one we made of primroses and place it on her head, her golden hair shining in the sunlight. She looks up at me with her beautiful blue eyes and holds up the second crown which was made of katniss flowers and placed it on my head and wrapped her arms around me, and I hug her back. We abruptly pull apart when something behind me catches Prim's eye. She stands up and I stand ready to defend her at all costs if necessary. Instead of some evil monster however it's Peeta. Prim runs to him with her third crown of flowers in her hand and jumps in to his arms. He catches her and spins her around making her laugh in delight. I can't help thinking of Peeta with his own daughter someday having this same moment. The thought makes me smile.

They come over to me and I stand up and give him a hug, which surprises me a little but I don't think much of it. Peeta looks at us and our flowers and asks smiling

"What are you doing Prim?" kneeling down to her height. She smiles at us.

"We're making flower crowns, we made one for you too." She says holding out her third crown which I only now realize is made of dandelions. Peeta smiles at her and says

"Thank you Prim it's beautiful. Do you wanna put it on me?" She nods eagerly and puts it on his head.

"We made it out of dandelions because Katniss sometimes says your her dandelion in the spring. Also thank you for the bread." Prim says making me blush beet red.

"Oh she does, does she. I'd love to hear the story behind this. And your welcome." He says looking at me. I blush again.

"Yeah, well Prim can tell you the story." I say. She looks up at us with a smile playing on her face.

"Peeta, are you gonna be my big brother?" She asks innocently. Peeta looks up at me for permission and I nod at him.

"Yeah." He says. Prim smiles widely at us

"You already are my big brother Peeta. And you know what?" She says as if about to to tell a secret.

"What" We ask humoring her. She becomes really serious when she says the next thing

"You and Katniss act like mom and dad did. In love." She says.


That's not when I started to fall for him but that's when I started to realize it.

"Please just promise me you'll remember I had no say in this and that I wanted to get you both out and hate Coin for this." Haymitch says and Prim and I promise.

"Peeta got to you right when you were getting pulled up by the hovercraft. Coin could've easily gotten him out as well but she wanted to force you to be the Mockingjay. Use him against you if needed. I tried to get you both out of there but she wouldn't listen." He says and I'm filled with hate for Coin.

Then I remember Beetee having something important to tell us and look to him. Prim notices and asks for me

"Beetee what did you have to tell us?" She asks. He looks at us from his ill fitting glasses and asks

"Do any of you know what time travel is?" Haymitch and I shake our heads but Prim says

"Time travel is where you go back in time and actually relive something and can even change it. You can also go into the future. But nobody has ever been able to create a time machine Beetee." Once again I'm amazed by my sister's knowledge of these things.

"Not until know. I've created a time machine. It's been tested and it works!" Beetee exclaims excitedly.

"That's amazing Beetee but what does it have to do with me?" I ask.

"Well I was wondering if maybe you wanted to use it?' He says. I'm shocked. I honestly do want to but I want to go into the future to see the end of the war but also in the past to save him from getting hijacked and to let him know that I love him.

"I do but I want to go in the future to see the end of the war and then I want to go back in time to before the games and save Peeta from being hijacked"I say.

"No problem. You'll go into the future first then the past, but wherever you land in the past, you can't come back here until that timeline reaches here okay?" He ask/says.

"Let's do it." I say. Beetee smiles.

"We'll start tomorrow."


So that's the second chapter. I hope you liked it. Please let me know what you thought of it. Until next time. :)
