I love how I already have almost 500 views! It makes me so happy inside!
I hope you are liking the story so far, here is chapter three!
Katniss POV
Snow apparently satisfied with my reaction to the news of Peeta, smiled triumphantly, and walked out of the room.
I heard the Vultures step up closer behind me from where they were standing. I don't know which one it was, but out of nowhere I felt someone smack the back of my head. I would've retaliated, but I was too numb to care.
"Now, why don't you tell us what you know." Vulture 1 said, walking around to the front of the table.
"I don't know anything," I said, looking not at them, but right ahead of me at the glass. "If I did, I would've told the rebels to get Peeta out if they had any hope of me working for them- and look where we stand now." I glanced at both of them, then fixated my eyes back on the glass. "I'm here, and Peeta's dead."
That was the only thing I said for the next week.
Peeta POV
I was released from the hospital the next day. As I was becoming more aware of everything, the doctors started feeding me information.
12 was bombed and is no longer there. Gale was able to get people out. My family was not among them.
Katniss' was, though, which I find ironic considering she is the one who is dead.
No, don't let yourself think like that. I shake my head to rid my mind of the thought. If I think about Katniss, I'll lose what little control I have left. I spend most of my time on morphling to keep my emotions in check.
When I exit my hospital room, Gale is waiting in the hall with a bag full of something. "Here, put these on." He said as he tosses them to me. I open the bag and look at it's contents. Clothes. From what I can tell they are the same as the ones Gale, and everyone else that I have seen, where.
I glance at Gale before walking back into my room and quickly putting them on. They were gray, simple. I could only imagine what Effie Trinket would say if she saw one of her prized victors in something so...not flashy.
I walk back out to Gale, where he is standing in the same place that I left him in. He doesn't say anything, just motions me to follow him with a wave of his hand, and starts walking down the hall.
I walk a couple paces behind him, wanting to avoid the awkwardness as much as possible. I haven't talked to him since I woke up, I haven't really talked to anyone. There's only one person that I want to talk to, and she's no longer with me. Gale walks to an elevator at the end of the hall, pushes the button to go up, and turns around to face me.
"Where are we going?" I ask, breaking the silence.
"Plutarch asked me to show you to your new living quarters. You're going to be sharing a space with Finnick, he's still in the hospital though, so you have the place to yourself for a bit."
Right when I was about to ask about Plutarch, the elevator doors opened. Gale stepped in and I followed him. He pressed a sequence of buttons, and suddenly we were moving.
Katniss POV
They kept asking me what I knew about the rebellion, I kept telling nothing. They got tired of me, and took me back to my room. Vulture 1 through me on my bed, and walked out.
Now that I was alone, I let myself truly think about Peeta. As soon as the thought made it's way to the front of my mind, I was sobbing uncontrollably.
He's gone. I thought to myself, as I crouched down, arms wrapped around my stomach as if they could hold me together. I had one thing to keep me going, and now he's gone.
So I think what I'm going to do is have both of them in each chapter, but mainly focus on one. So, yeah... Review!
