The Mistakes We Make

by Kenzi.got.love

Katniss has gone back to life after the revolution. She's broken and hollow and believes Peeta is no longer the boy that loves her. This story is about Peeta and Katniss and how they go through difficulties like hallucinations. And Gale comes back only to ruin whatever weak ties Peeta and Katniss have made. Also Katniss's mother holds one thing left to say to her daughter..

2. Run

Sorry this is so short it just felt like a good place to break off from

Also-There is a direct quote from Suzanne Collins in this chapter and it completely belongs to her, I didn't think of it myself.

Thanks for reading!

My survival instincts go into overdrive and I elbow my assailant in the ribs and I'm on the other side of the room searching for a suitable weapon. It's dark in my house now and somehow I find the fire poker. I take it in my hands and hold it like I would a baseball bat.

"Who are you? Who's there?" I scream. I hear a hiss of pain and then a panicked, huffing voice, "Katniss! It's me, Peeta.." he ow's in pain. "Peeta?" I say as I drop the poker stick and race over to him. I realize I can't see anything so I search the wall for a switch. I find the switch and my living room is illuminated. I see the couch I was just occupying, the rocking chair by the fireplace, and Peeta, rolling around on the floor in pain. I quickly drop next to him, my hands hovering over his body trying to find the exact point of impact. He's holding his front left side so I'm assuming that's where my elbow struck.

"Peeta, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you.. You startled me and I'm so sorry!" I say. He's sucking breath in through his teeth and surprisingly he lets out a hard laugh. "Ice, Katniss, Ice." Is all he manages to say. I get up quickly, and go to my kitchen and hope there is ice in there. I don't know if Sae's been here, I couldn't tell you if anyone's been in my house the past week. I open the chilled freezer and lo and behold there is a try full of ice cubes. I grab a rag and wrap it around all the ice cubes and tie the ends together. I bring it back to Peeta and put it on the tender spot. He has calmed considerably and now is just watching me.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing, it's just," He stops mid thought. He has tightly shut his eyes. His fists have balled up and his body has gone tense.

"Peeta..? What's going on? Are you alr-" I am cut off by his eyes flying open, exposing his pitch black eyes. I know then, he's not Peeta and he's having a hallucination. He grabs my arm and his hold is stiff. For a moment his eyes become clear and only one word escapes his mouth. "Run."
