I told you I would have the next chapter up! You can totally tell that I have no life! lol. I love how this turned out and there is some action in it like I promised.

Peeta's POV

This is it. Katniss is moments away from death. I don't know what to do. There is nothing to do. I promised to keep Katniss alive. I will never break that promise.

"Katniss!" I say and give her hand a squeeze before letting go. I run over to the door and I punch the lock. My hand is thriving in pain but I hit the lock again. I'm sure I broke a few bones in my hand but I don't care. I hit it and the lock flies off. I kick the door open and run back to Katniss who is now sweating and shaking like crazy and she's still breathing heavily. I throw her into my arms and run out the door. Luckily, there are no guards in this hallway but when I turn a corner, there is one. I turn the other direction but it is too late. The guard is already running towards us and calling for back-up on his device.

When I turn another corner, I see an elevator about to close. It's empty so I run towards it. We squeeze through and I hear something clatter to the floor. Just before the door closes, I see the guard running to us and Katniss's mockingjay pin on the floor. I didn't even know she had it. She must have worn it at our wedding.

The doors close and I press a button. I don't care what floor I just pushed. I check Katniss and she is still alive, but in the same condition.

"Katniss!" I yell. Her eyes crack open.

"Pe-Peeta." She whispers.

"I'm going to get you out and alive. I promise." I tell her. She shakes her head in disagreement.

"It's too- late," She says. I give her a pleading look.

"No, don't say that. It's not too late. Don't give up! Please! Stay with me!" I yell with tears in my eyes. The elevator doors open and I hear the familiar noise of gunshots. Before I take off running, I am able to hear Katniss's response.

"Always."

I run out, ready to dodge the shots but then I realize that they are not pointed at me. I look over to see District 13 uniforms.

They have come to rescue us! Perfect timing, but why now? Couldn't they have come a few days ago? It doesn't matter right now. I run towards them and then their guns point at me but when they see who I am, the lower them. One soldier guides me into a supply closet room. He says something into his ear piece but I can't hear it with all the gunshots. Then he looks at me then Katniss.

"No time for explanation. Katniss is dying, she needs help." The soldier nods his head.

"Get to the elevator and go to the top floor. Board the occupied hovercraft. Haymitch and the others are there. They can help her." He yells over the noise.

I don't take any time to thank him or respond. I race out the door I look for the nearest elevator. One of the Capitol guards sees me and runs after me shooting. This slows me down considering I have to doge every bullet. I turn a corner and I see that it's a dead end. I spin around only to come face to face with the guard. There is nowhere to go. He raises his gun and I close my eyes. I hear the crackling noise but I don't feel the pain. I open my eyes to see the guard on the floor and Finnick standing behind. I give him a thank smile and he nods. He directs me to an elevator and hops on with us.

"What's wrong with Katniss?" He asks sternly

"She's dying. The Capitol-"I pause to catch my breath. "The Capitol injected some formula Coin created that contains Nightlock and other drugs." I tell him. Finnick's eyes widen we both look down at Katniss in my arms. She's not moving but I can feel her heartbeat and that's all I need.

The elevator opens and the sun hits me and I am blind for a few seconds but Finnick guides me forward. When I regain my eyesight, I see a Capitol hovercraft in front of me. I hesitate for a second, because I'm not sure who it in it but when I see Finnick go in, I follow.

When I am on the hovercraft, I see doctors race to me and they take Katniss out of my arms. I notice that they are from 13. Then I see Finnick. He must have told them what happened.

The Capitol hovercrafts are very different. It's a circular room with a table in the middle and there are doors off to the side.

I follow the doctors into an operation room. They are all set to go and they go to work immediately. One doctor stops me from entering the room but I ignore him. Finnick sees this coming and holds me back.

All I can do right now is watch from the closed door. All the doctors are crowding around her so I can't see. I give up and allow Finnick to bring me to the table where Haymitch and Gale are sitting. Haymitch gets up and walks to me.

"Peeta. Are you okay?" He asks. Honestly, I don't know. Physically, yes. So I nod my head.

"What took you so long?" I ask. More like yell. If they were here earlier, Katniss would have gotten help faster.

"We have been here for 3 days now… we couldn't find you." I turn my attention to Gale.

"What happened to Katniss?" Gale asks. I feel a sudden movement and I can tell that the hovercraft has just token off.

"Coin created some sort of formula that contains nightlock and some other drugs. That made Katniss weak over time and finally die in a week." I tell them and Finnick tries to comfort me.

"Yes, but she's alive and the doctors are helping her right now." He says.

Just then, another doctor comes out of a different room and calls my name.

"Peeta." She calls. I give Haymitch and Gale one last glance before I walk over to her. She motions me into the room and I sit down on the bed.

"Hi Peeta. We want to make sure you are okay."

I'm not okay. Katniss is in the other room dying and I'm being checked if I'm okay. She takes my blood and injects some pain killers. Then she wraps my broken hand in bandages. She has a whole check list of things to check to make sure I'm so called 'healthy'. About an hour later, she finishes and I am told to stay on the bed until we reach 13. I stay in my bed for a few minutes and then I jump out and rush to the door.

How can I stay here? I don't even know if Katniss is alive! I crack my door open a bit just to make sure the coast is clear and then I run to the room the doctors brought Katniss in. I don't care if the doctors see me so I walk straight in. I see Katniss on the bed and a heart rate monitor that's keeping a steady beat.

Katniss is alive. My sweetheart, my love… is alive.

I would NEVER kill Katniss! Never in a million years!

I love Peeta so much and I really like writting chapters in his POV! Please review and then I will post chapter 20! Thanks you guys! lv ya all!
