Author's Note- Onto Chapter 4, woo- hoo! Now brace yourself, lots of characters are going to get emotional in this chapter :'[

Katniss's POV

"You ready to talk now, sweetheart?" Haymitch asks with a grin. I can't tell if he's being fake or sincere.

"I guess so." I say wearily, still coming out of a daze.

"So, District 12's hovercraft may still be fine. We lost track of them as they were making their way to District 13." continues Gale.

So Bonnie and Twill really were right…there actually is a District 13.

"Anyways," says Plutarch touching my shoulder, "they may still be okay, don't give up hope."

"We do have one more surprise for you though, Catnip."

Don't these people get that I've had enough surprises? Gale must see the annoyed look on my face because he says, "Don't worry it's a good one!"

"Come in!" Gale says almost too excitedly. And in waltzes Madge.

"Oh my God, Madge!" she runs up and gives me a giant hug. Tears start to come to my eyes, because I feared I would never see her again.

"I'm so happy you're awake now I've been dying to see you!" she tells me half smiling and half crying.

"Sorry to break up this reunion, but let's let Katniss get ready and we will start the meeting in 20 minutes. You two can finish your little tea party after." Haymitch orders.

Everyone leaves my room and I begin to get ready. Madge is the last to leave my side, but I notice Gale has waited for her. I brush my teeth, wash my face, and style my hair in its signature braid. I notice I've been laid out sleek black legging sweats and an ocean blue zip up. As I'm leaving the room, I realize Beetee is not in his bed. He must be with the others already, I assume.

I walk down the long, hovercraft hall until I reach our meeting room. Everyone including Madge is seated around the table. I take an open seat next to Finnick and he flashes me a smile, but I can tell it's filled with sadness and longing. I look around the room one more time and I realize Beetee isn't in here either.

"Alright, let's…" Haymitch starts.

"Where's Beetee?!" I cut him off.

"Katniss, I'm afraid we couldn't save him with the limited equipment we have here on our hovercraft. We are all very sad at his misfortune. He was a dear friend to all of us."

We've seriously lost someone else…? I cannot take this. Almost everyone I care about is gone, missing, or not here. We all take a moment of silence for him, and then begin our meeting.

"Back to what I was saying, when we eventually reach District 13 even I am not certain what to expect. What I do know is that they are ready to start a war! And you know who will be leading this war? We are. They all want revenge on the Capitol and we are going to bring it. So get ready." Haymitch exclaims.

Honestly, I can't decide if I should be happy or scared. I guess I'm both. I do want to take the Capitol down for having Peeta, but I'm really not looking forward to even more violence. I look over at Gale to see his reaction and I notice him looking in Madge's eye and then reaching for her hand. Are they together…?

"Finnick, what's up with Gale and Madge?" I whisper.

"I'll tell you later after this meeting. I'll help you get moved into your room and we can talk about it then." I just nod in response. I thought Gale still loved me…not that I care, because I'm totally in love with Peeta.

The meeting continues for another 10 minutes of Haymitch just going on and on about how everyone, including himself, have been waiting for this for a very long time. When the meeting is over Finnick walks me to my room and I don't even bother to glance in Gale or Madge's direction.

We reach my room and we go inside. The walls are a deep red with gold accents everywhere. The bed has a red and gold comforter with a gold canopy on top. It's absolutely beautiful.

"Yup, you got the best room in the hovercraft." He says, noticing my amazed expression.

"Wow. So anyways, what is up with those two?"

"I'm pretty sure they're together. I think they're trying to make it unobvious or something, but it's seriously not working. I'm guessing he's not your real cousin, huh?

"Nope, he's not. Whatever though, she can have him. I'm with Peeta anyways…"

"Oh, its okay, Katniss. Just stay strong, we will get her…er him back." And something amazing happens. Finnick Odair is crying.

"Shh, it'll be okay. We will get back to them both." I say trying to comfort him, but all that does it makes me think more of Peeta and I began to cry as well.

Finnick leaves my room shortly after and Madge comes in.

"God, have I missed you!" is the first thing she says. "So, how are you dealing with everything?"

"Not good."

"Okay, that was a stupid question."

"How about you, is your family on the hovercraft as well?"

"Oh, um no, my father died in the fire while loading everyone else on the hovercraft…" she says solemnly.

"Oh Madge, I am so sorry!" I say while giving her long hug.

"Anyhow," she says while wiping the tears from her face, "I came in here to give you this."

She hands me an envelope that says, My Darling Katniss, on the front.

"It's from Peeta. He gave this to me before the 75th Hunger Games, so I could give it to you once you got back.

Oh my God…I open it up and begin to read.

My Darling Katniss,

I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart. You meant more than the world to me. I'm assuming I am dead when you're read this, and I want you to know I could never go on without you like you will without me. You were the only reason I stayed alive as long as I did. Even before I knew you personally, I loved you. I've loved you for as long as I can remember, and I'll never stop. As much as I want you to love me forever, you need to move on to be happy. Don't feel guilty for not bringing me home alive. I wanted to die for you. You have so many people who love you at home who you can be happy with, people who'd miss you if you would have died in the arena. There would be less that would miss me. So many people need you, Katniss. You were my will to live and my life would have meant nothing if you weren't there. I'm just glad that I died knowing you loved me as much as I loved you and that's more than I could have asked for. I beg you, Katniss, to move on and live the rest of your life. Your life has a meaning, fulfill it. Even though I want you to move on, I hope that you will forever remember the love we shared. Goodbye Katniss, I love you.

Forever love,

Peeta Mellark

As soon as I finish the letter I burst into tears. Madge gives me a quick hug, and then exits the room. I reach for the pearl Peeta gave me while we were in the arena. This letter and the pearl are all I have left of him, for now so I hold them tight. Peeta Mellark, I love you, and will get you back even if it's the last thing I do.

Alright so, I was planning on making it longer, but I kind of liked this line as a stopping point. Sorry, if you were expecting a longer chapter this time. I'm hoping it will be next chapter. Anyways, I hope you liked it!! Please review, I love hearing what you think. Compliments and criticism are great. [:

Tell your friends ;] haha.
