Title: Peeta not Ketniss

A/N: Enjoy the new chapter! :)

"WE HAVE TO GET HER BACK!" I yelled.

I was standing in the underground city of District 13, in the room called Command. There were quite a few people were sitting at the table, discussing the future of the rebellion. Coin, the president of District 13, was the leader of this rebellion. She was sitting at the head of the table not really saying much. Pultarch Heavensbee and Finnick were there, but Haymitch was too depressed to come. I hadn't really seen him since I got here, but then again, I had only been here for about two weeks. Haymitch was obviously going through withdrawal of alcohol. But I knew that he was also worried about Katniss. I have been in the hospital since I got here, and I only got out yesterday. My head was hit pretty badly, and I get really bad head aches sometimes. Katniss' little sister, Prim, kept visiting me. We would talk about random stuff, like life before Katniss and I were picked as tributes for the 74th Hunger Games. Prim told me about when Katniss was little, and how they played together. Having someone to talk to was great... all of my family died in the bombing of District 12.

The only family I have left is Katniss.

But the Capitol took her away from me too.

I love her.

"Peeta, we are trying our best to figure a way to rescue her. But you have to be patient!" Plutrach tells me soothingly. I'm pacing the room. They had started talking, when the double doors burst open and Gale walks in. He was the one who led hundreds of people out of District 12, when the bombs went off. Gale kept them alive in the woods for three days until they got picked up by a hovercraft and taken to 13.

"Sorry I'm late. I was with Beetee down in Special Defense." Gale says as he sits down. As the talk starts up again, I walk back over to my chair next to Finnick, and sit down. Only to get up and start pacing the room again. I pull out the pearl, that I gave Katniss on the beach, and rub it along my hand, thinking.

"We still need a leader though." Coin says slowly, "Katniss isn't here, is she? But we still need a Mockingjay. Someone, who can bring the districts together. Someone with experience of how cruel the Capitol really is. Someone, who can use the power of their words to rally the rebels into a unified force. Some, like you, Peeta."

All eyes are on me.

"What can I do?" I say, staring at the pearl. "Katniss was the strong one. She was the one who practically started the rebellion. Not me She volunteered for Prim, she held out the berries, she blew up the force field, she could make the Mockingjays stop, to listen to her sing, she could shoot an arrow. She could rally the districts. Not me." Tears were streaming down my face.

As I wiped them away, I looked up at the people around the room.

Many had tears in their eyes.

"She needs you to help her win this war." Gale says quietly, looking down. "She needs you to save her."

A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short, the next few will be longer hopefully! :) Please remember to review!
