I made this one longer! Enjoy!
Katniss's POV:
For the past few hours, I have been going back and forth between sitting with Gale who is asleep, peeking in Peeta's room, or in the hallway crying. One time, I peeked in to Peeta's room to see if they figured out what was wrong, and Peeta is awake and talking to the doctors but I was told to stay out of his room. I walk back to Gale's room and see he is awake. He sees me and smiles but then frowns when he sees my eyes all puffy.
"What's wrong Katniss?" He says sleepily. I can tell that he is fighting the medicine to keep awake. All that comes out is silent tears. When I finally regain my voice, I tell him everything that happened. Gale is just as shocked as I am. His last words before he goes under again is "Don't worry Catnip; they will try everything to find out what's wrong and to fix it." And he falls asleep. I figure that it's pointless to continue going back and forth between rooms so I go back to my room to find Prim already in bed but she's not asleep because the lights are on. When I walk in, her big brown eyes open and she smile but when I don't smile back, she knows that something is wrong.
"Are you okay?" I go over to the bed and sit next to her. I wonder if I should tell her. She's so young , yet she already acts like an adult so I take a deep breath and I tell her.
"It's Peeta… We got him out of the Capitol and he is in the hospital now…" Prim is looking confuse and before I can finish, she interrupts me.
"And that's bad?" She asks. I give her a shake and continue.
"I went down to see him and when he saw me…" I take another deep breath. "He tried to punch me." Now Prim looks shocked and I can tell what her next question is and I don't have an answer.
"Why?" She asks.
"I…I don't know. Maybe the Capitol twisted his mind, or maybe I just looked like someone else, from the Capitol, maybe." I know this can't be possible because the Capitol people look completely different than us and we think they look weird but to them, its beauty. Prim tries to comfort me but nothing can right now.
"Ok little duck." I say this, to ensure her that I'm not trying to scare her, but she knows me too well. I get up and turn the lights off. Then I get back into bed with Prim and she snuggles right up with me. "Good night." I whisper.
"Good night. Sweet dreams." She replies dreamily but I know, of course, that I won't have sweet dreams. I fall asleep almost immediately and like I predicted, I have my usual night nightmares. This time, is when Cato attacked us on the cornucopia. Cato, all bloody has Peeta around his arm and I have an arrow loaded, pointing at him. I shoot Cato's arm and Peeta breaks free and pushes him down to the mutts. I wake up, screaming and sweeting. Prim is already out of bed and down at the hospital helping my mother. I look at the clock and it is around 7:30. I lie in bed for a few minutes, not wanting to get up and to face whatever update there is on Peeta, but I get up anyway. I take a shower, get dressed, and braid my hair. I them head downstairs for some breakfast. When I get there, I see Beetee in line to get food. I want to avoid him because if he sees me, all he will talk about is the update on Peeta and I don't want that right now. I want to get Peeta off my mind. I to another food line and I sit the farthest away from him. When I am done, I go over to the trash can to throw out my trash, but Beetee sees me and starts to walk towards me.
"Hi Katniss!" He says with a smile.
"Hey Beetee." I say in my happiest voice possible. (Which isn't so happy right now.)
"How are you?" He asks.
"Fine." I say indefinably.
"Look Katniss, I figured you'd want to know the update on Peeta's condition." Not really I think but I let him continue. "We found out what is wrong and… Peeta sees you as a threat because the Capitol hijacked him." Hijacked? No, no, this can't be happening… what's hijacked mean?
"So what does Hijacked mean?" I ask simply.
"It means that the Capitol has used the tracker jacker venom to twist his mind that way he sees you as a threat… a deathly threat." How could Peeta forget how much he loved me? After everything, how can he see me as a threat?
"Well is it reversible?" I question.
"Ummm… well… there are no… umm… records of this happening…" Beetee says guilty. He knows that this news disappoints me, so he tries to turn things around. "But there is always a first for everything!"
"I hope"
"Well, don't you worry Katniss, we are trying everything we can to help reverse it."
"Alright." I say giving out a sigh.
"I haven't been there since last night, so the last update I have on Peeta, is everything that happened last night when you were then and that he has been hijacked, sorry. I better go but I will get back to you on the latest update."
"Ok, well the last time I saw Peeta, after… you know… he was talking to the doctors." I say. Beetee's face lights up to this.
"Oh good! Maybe we got some answers! Got to go!"
"Ok" I say waving goodbye and smiling. When he is out of sight, I can let go of the 'happy' act. I walk around district 13, not caring what my arm is telling me to do, but I have to go to command at noon. I go back to my room, hoping to see wither Prim or mother but they spend all their time helping at the hospital. When it's noon, I walk down to Command and I take my seat. We can't do much considering that Gale and Beetee are not here. Gale is in the hospital and Beetee is helping the doctors 'fix' Peeta. Coin just rambles on and on about each uprising in each district. We all know it's happening so why do we have to meet up and talk about it? There is nothing to say. My thoughts are stopped when everyone is looking at me, waiting for my answer. I missed my question.
"What?" I ask. Coin looks frustrated because she has to repeat her question.
"I said, that we will be making a propo in district 6. Do you think that you are up to it?" She asks. I sigh, another propo? I hate them but I know that they are necessary.
"Ok. Count my in." I reply.
"Great, I will schedule it for sometime next week. I'll anounce it at the next Command." She states. After Command is over, I look for Haymitch but he is nowhere in sight so I go to the training room. He might be here but instead of finding Haymitch, I find Finnick is there instead.
I will post Peeta's POV later tonight. Please review!
