Here is the next chapter also I don't own the Hunger Games trilogy. Sorry if this one is late as well.


Chapter 11: Queen Mellark has a plan

Katniss

As the men toke me to my room and place me on my bed. I got up from my bed as I ran over to the door, but the guards closed the door on me. I tried twisting the door knob, but it won't let me open the door. I screamed out "Let me out, I want to see Peeta, just let me out. I need to see if he's alright, please just let me out." No one came to let me out; after a while I start to think no one is coming to let me out, and I went back to my bed as I sat on it. I began to think what Misty would do to Peeta, and how she would do it. It was making me worry that she would even make Peeta forget me, but as then the door opened to reveal Misty standing there in front of me. I was about to get up and run to the door when I see her close it. She waves her hand as the doors flash a pink color in just like that it disappear as it had appeared before me.

I looked at her as I said "Where is Peeta? Is he alright? Why are you doing this to us, why can't you and Snow leave us alone?" She smirked as she said in a cute tone "Peeta is in the playroom, and he's fine for now." As then I watched her wink at me; what was going on as I watched her say "I guess that I have to punish you forever seeing Peeta my son!" I looked at her confused as I said "But you didn't explain why! Why are you doing this to us?" She smirked again as she said "Snow wants you, and I wanted Peeta. Peeta belongs to me and only me and not you." Then things got even weirder as she would press her ear to the door to see if anyone was listening in our conservation but then continue to what she was saying "Even your mother made my husband fall in love with her, but luckily your father got to her first. I made sure that my husband fell in love with me and I did as always. But then when I had my first and second son things started to change. I wasn't beautiful anymore, but then I had Peeta and that is when I fell in love with him. Now at the time his father found out what I was doing to our poor son." I watched her listen carefully as then I saw her give out a sigh of relief as she whispered out "Hopefully some of the servants will believe that." Misty finally looked back at me as she said "Okay Katniss I need you to listen really well as I explain everything that is happening right now, do you understand" I could only nod at her as she smiled at me as she continued. "Now here is what is happening I want some of the servants to think that I'm still evil, but if you don't believe me that I have changed it is at your own pace my own son doesn't believe me and that is fine. But I need to keep you as safe as I can, and we can't have Snow fine out that you remember my son. Some of the servants here belong to Snow so if they sent word to him that I have taken care of this then they will make him believe anything to what they say. I have told Peeta that he can keep the amulet, but the minute that Snow comes back that I would need his amulet back. Now as for you I will make something for you to wear to help make you" as then she ended up seeing something on my dresser.

I watched her walk over as she said "This ring is perfect, do you mind I use this" I could only reply with "No I don't really mind, but I don't understand why do you want that ring for." Misty looked back at me as she said "I'll explain everything when I get back from my room, but stay here and make um . . . sexy noise so that way some of the servants will believe that I had torture you." I watched her run out of the room as she closed the door behind her.

I got back on my bed sat on it and did what Misty had told me which didn't make any sense to me as to why she wanted me to do. I started to make sexy noises like oh, oh sounds, and uh sound as I continued to make these weird sounds to make sure that some of the servants would know that Misty had punished me.

Peeta

I walk around the playroom sitting on the bed, only because my mom had told me to. As then I hear someone coming in as I thought 'Katniss' but the appearance of my mother only made me disappointed. My mother spoke "I have figured out how to make sure that Snow won't be suspected of anything. I will put a 'Forget me' spell on the ring and give it to Katniss. Once she wears it; she will only remember that you are 'Golden' and that everything should be okay since that Snow will think it's as he left it. Then when he's not around I'll tell Katniss to take the ring off when she is with you, but only with you. Now if we can make this work Snow will never know what is going on." I couldn't believe that my own mother came up with this plan, and even seeing the emerald ring that she got from Katniss that was even weirder. I looked up at her as I said "Well I have to tell Katniss what's going, so that way she'll be ready for what's to come."

As I was about to go to leave my room; my mother looked at me as she said "Peeta you'll need to go in quietly to go see her, and don't show off your temper. If any of the guards find out" I only nodded as I left the room to go to Katniss's room. I went up the stairs and down the hallway as I hid behind a pillar. I looked around to see that only one of the guards was just standing there over hearing the sex sounds coming from my loves room. Just then Lacy came up and told the guard to leave so that way she can go comfort the princess. The guard left the place he was at and went down the stairs as I heard Lacy whistle to me. I followed Lacy into Katniss's room; so let me get something straight on the first note Katniss was just sitting on the bed, and secondly she really didn't look like she was hurt in anyway. I looked at her happily as I said "Katniss, I have some good news, but there is some not so good news that you might not like." I run to her bed side as Katniss looked at me very confused as she said "Peeta, do you know what is going on with your mother? I'm really confused right now with your mother acting like she's on our side and everything. I thought she had hated my family, and that she wanted you." I figured that I had to tell Katniss everything that happened outside of the palace walls with the talk I had with my own mother.

So I told her everything, and even up to my mother's plan. After a while of looking shocked to giving me an odd look, yet I could tell that she like me didn't know what to think about what my mother said. Katniss looked at me with a straight face as she said "So let me get this straight; your mother wants to be forgiven for what she had done to us, and to my family by making sure that we will be together. By making sure that Snow doesn't get to find out that I remember you, and the fact that I know that you can change back into a human being. Because she can be repent, but Peeta can we really trust her. I mean she helped Snow, and how can us after all she done to us." I looked at her as I said "I know, but so far she seems to be proving herself worthy and she also made sure that Lacy got to stay with you." Lacy chimed in "Misty wanted to make sure that Snow didn't completely have is way with you Katniss, but as for Peeta she wanted to protect him from Snow's wrath. I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but she does have a plan for when Snow comes back. She does mean well" as then my mother came in with the ring in her hand. She looked at us as she went to the dresser that was in Katniss's room and placed it on the dresser.

I watched my own mother look back to us as she said "Now here is what's going to happen; when Snow comes back Peeta will give me his amulet, and I want you to go put that ring that is on your dresser Katniss on your finger. The spell that I put on it is called 'Forget me' which only take some of the memory of who Peeta is, and only leave you with that Peeta is Golden. But once you're alone with Peeta, you can take the ring off, but only when you're alone with him and not with Snow. I'll have to figure out as we go along, but that should keep up the sure ad when Snow comes back." I held Katniss's hand as I realized that my mother is trying to help us be together.

Katniss

I couldn't believe what I was hearing Misty Mellark, and I for one could have never have known that Queen Mellark was under as spell either until after what Peeta had told me earlier. I can only smile as I said "So then you can undo what you did to my family then Queen Mellark?" Misty looked at me sadly as she said "Katniss, if I let your family out of the crystal ball prison Snow will find out that something is up, and he might kill Peeta as well as your family because of it. I can't do that right now; if we are to keep up with this sure ad, they need to stay in there for just a bit while longer." I knew what she meant by it; if I ever wanted to see my family ever again I had to go along with the plan, but there was one good thing about this I got to remember Peeta just for a little bit.

I looked at the ring from where I was sitting at as I said "So I can only wear the ring only in front of Snow?" Misty smiled at me as she replied 'yes' to me, but there was the next question that was looming over me when was Snow was coming back. I had to ask her so I did as I said "I need to know when Snow will come back, I need to know how much longer I have with Peeta." Misty looked at me as she said "I'm afraid that Snow will come back in a couple of days, which may not give you and Peeta that much time with each other. So I suggest that you spend as much time with each other now, before Snow comes back."

It didn't take me that long as I toke Peeta's hand and said "Then let's go to the gardens together." Peeta looked back at me as he replied with "I couldn't agree more" as we go up from the bed and walked to the door. We went down the stairs and out of the palace to enjoy our time together.
