I can't even tell you guys how much I love you! I already have over 1000 views! Honeylove90: I read your story...and my heart is broken. That was so intense! Anyone who is actually reading this, you so need to check out "All Around Me" It's so good! Good job Honeylove90! So I went to go see Mockingjay today, and it was so good! My emotions were on overdrive though… Hehe, anyways...Here is chapter 4! Peeta POV We were only in the elevator for a couple minutes, but they were full of tension. Gale didn't say anything, just stared at nothing ahead of him. When the doors opened, Gale didn't hesitate to get out of there and start walking down the hall. I had to jog to keep up with him. After several turns, Gale stopped in front of a door marked 37B. "This is your apartment." He said as he opened the door and waited for me to go in. I took a conscious step in, some apartment. I thought to myself as I walked further in. It's more like a box. I looked back at the door, Gale hadn't made one move forward. I walked around to room. Two beds, dressers, and desks. There was a door on the adjacent side of the room from the door, which I assumed was the bathroom. "We tried, you know." Gales voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around to find him standing in the middle of the room. "We tried so hard to get her out. But once Johanna took off after cutting out her tracker," He paused and shook his head. "She ran off to look for you. She went back to that damn tree." He shook his head again and turned toward the door. "I blame you, if you were not as important as you are to her,she wouldn't have ran back to get you, and she would be standing in front of me right now." And with that, he walked out of my room.
Katniss POV I don't know how long I cried. It could've been hours, or minutes. But I didn't just cry for Peeta. I cried for everything I've lost: my home, Gale, my family, and all those people who have died because of me. The Mockingjay. Someone brought me food, an entire meal. Which I found odd because they never give me this much food. I lift up the lid that covered the tray and looked at the contents. Lamb stew, a dinner roll, a salad, and a glass of milk. Why did they give me this? Just then Vulture 2 entered my cell. "Eat up, Miss. Everdeen. You've been requested at the presidents mansion this evening." "What? Why?" I asked standing and walking towards him. He didn't answer me. He just ordered me to eat, and waked out. Despite my hatred for the Capitol, I was starving and they gave me my favorite meal. I ate it, no, more like inhaled it. I was so hungry. The stew was incredible. It wasn't until I was done eating that my curiosity and suspicion started fully setting in. Why did they give me so much, such good food? Why did Snow want me at his mansion? Surely if he wanted to see me, he'd just come here like he did last time. "Let's go." Vulture 2 said as he walked in. He waited for me to get up so he could cuff my wrists behind my back. He pushed me into the hall, where Vulture 1 was waiting. "Why am I going to the mansion? Did you finally realize that I'm not hiding anything and you're going to kill me?" I couldn't keep the hope out of my voice. Along with the snarkiness. They didn't say anything, just pulled my through the halls until we were at what I figured was the side building, and shoved me into a car. The interior of the car had seats on either sides, with hand and ankle cuffs on each chair. I was pushed into a middle seat where the secured my ankles, then un-cuffed my wrists and attached them as well. There were two men in the driver and passenger seats, and Vulture 1 and 2 along with another guard. None of them said anything, they just waited for my to be tied up before they started driving. The widows were so tainted that I couldn't see anything we drove past. At least that means that no one can see that it's me in here. I thought as the car was navigated through the Capitol streets. It took about ten minutes to get to the Presidential Mansion. It was exactly and I remembered it from the Victors Tour. Back then, I had Peeta at my side, and we were supposed to be madly in love. The thought of Peeta makes my chest ache. The Vultures un-clasp me from the chair, cuff my wrists behind my back again, and push me out of the car. The only difference from the Victors Tour and now, more guards. Instead of walking through the front like last time, we went through a side door. Where more guards were waiting. I was expecting them to take me to Snow first, but when they opened the door to the room they led me to- it contained a equipment and supplies very similar to the ones that my prep teams would use when getting me ready for an interview or party. "Katniss!" I heard someone greet me. I turned my head and saw someone emerging from a door on the other side of the room. I didn't know her. She was very tan, had green hair, and a swirl designed tattoo across her chest and arms- The color of the tattoo matched her hair and nails. Typical for a Capitol resident. When she was standing right in front of me she clasped her hands and let out a squeal. "Simply beautiful!" She exclaimed, motioning for my guards to release me from my restraints. "We are going to make you look fabulous for tonight's interview!" There it is. I thought, being ushered into a bathroom. I'm here for an interview.
Peeta POV After Gale left, I laid down on the bed that I claimed as mine, at fell asleep. I dreamed of Katniss. We were in the arena, the first one. We were in the cave. As the dream went on I realized that it wasn't a dream, but a memory. She was sitting next to me, keeping watch. She must've thought I was sleeping because she kept her eyes on the opening to the cave. I wasn't sleeping though, I was watching her. That's all I've ever done, is watch her. It's hard not to. Suddenly, the peace was gone. I wasn't watching her, the Katniss I knew and loved, but something else. She turned around and stared at me. It looked like Katniss, but the look in her eyes said otherwise. She was thinner than I had ever seen her, and she had dark circles under her eyes. "You!" She screamed. "You did this to me!" Then, she leaped for me. She didn't get there though, because I was awakened by a knock on my door. "Hold on." I said, sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I got out of bed and walked over to the door. I took a minute to compose myself, and opened the door. "Peeta!" Prim exclaimed before jumping into my arms. So there was chapter 4. I hope you liked it!
