Okay. Wow. I'm so sorry I kept you guys waiting. It's just... I blame school. And i totally left you guys thinking that katniss was killed or something! Shame on me. :'( Anyway here's the next chapter. Enjoy! DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES. RATING HAS BEEN CHANGED TO T.

Peeta POV

The room starts to shake and an explosion is heard.

"KATNISS!" I screamed. "KATNISS!"

"PEETA!" I hear. But it's not katniss. This low voice belongs to Finn.

"Finn. Where's Katniss?" I frantically ask. Finn takes in a big gulp. "FINNICK! WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!"

"She's unconscious." he quietly states. "She..." I push him roughly aside.

"KATNISS!"

"Peeta!" Haymitch calls. He jogs up to me. "She's been affected by the explosion. She went unconscious through shock... I'm-" I grab a fistful of his shirt.

"Tell me now. Where is she." I say in the deadliest voice possible. He tugs my hand away from his shirt.

"She's in ICU over in sector seven," he informs me. "She's fine." I run out the door and sprint to sector seven. As I'm running, I hear some guards shout.

"BOMBING! GET INSIDE THE BUNKERS!"

"GET THE MEDICS TO SECTOR SEVEN!"

"GO GO GO!" I sharply turn around the corner. My shoes squeak against the tile floor. I push my way through the double doors. On one of the many hospital beds, I see an unconscious katniss, surrounded by tubes and a beeping monitor.

"Katniss," I whisper as I kneel by her side. "Shit shit shit shit..." Haymitch bursts through the doors.

"DAMN BOY! GET BACK IN THE BUNKERS!" he shouts while tugging me by my shoulder.

"But Katniss!" I shout.

"She's fine! The medics will handle her! WE HAVE TO GO!" I start to resist.

"I am NOT leaving Katniss!" I rush back to her side.

"Boy, we have to go. They need us." I sigh and wipe the waterfall of tears that are dripping from my lashes.

"Okay." I whisper and start to get up. Not even three seconds. Not three seconds after I turn my back do I hear the agonizing single beep that made me want to be killed by one of the bombs.

"KATNISS!"

Katniss POV

I'm flying. I feel as if a weight has been lifted up from my shoulders. I no longer have a grasp on reality nor have the concept of what it is. I feel free. I hear a gentle, delicate voice.

"Katniss?"

"Prim?" I asked very confused. "Where are we?"

"Were gone Katniss. Well, I'm gone."

"Prim," I say in a frantic voice. "You're scaring me. What do you mean by 'gone'?" I see a sad look in her eyes, but a small smile is on her face.

"You're not gone Katniss. I am."

"Little Duck?"

" I was in one of the explosions. Katniss..." I shake my head. Not my Little Duck. Not her. She opens her mouth to speak.

"I'm dead."

Oooooooooooooo! Worth the wait? Eh, probably not. If shorter chapters mean faster update then I'll do that!
