Hey guys! So I had a bunch of people favorite and follow this story yesterday and I got two reviews which I really appreciate. Responses to these reviews will be at the end of the chapter :) This one will start in Peeta's POV and then switch to Katniss's. Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games (forgot to put this in the last chapter)


Peeta POV

I wake up laying on a makeshift bed on metal ground. I try to sit up and wince when I feel the tubes that are in my arm. I grit my teeth and rip them out so that I can stand up. I see Beetee on the ground too with about a dozen machines hooked up to him through different wires. I hear voices and walk to the door, trying to make out who is talking on the other side. I jump back suddenly as the door slides open and reveals Haymitch, Plutarch, and Finnick.

"You're up." Plutarch says shortly.

"Haymitch?" I ask, "What's going on? Where are we?" Then a sickening thought goes through my head, "Where is Katniss." I ask slowly.

I know that Brutus and Chaff are both dead. Beetee and Finnick are here so that only leaves Johanna and Katniss missing.

Haymitch hesitates so I ask him again, "Haymitch...where is she?"

He sighs, "Peeta, let me explain what's going on first-"

"No." I cut him off, "Tell me where she is." I shout it that time. I can feel my heart racing as I start to panic.

Haymitch holds up a hand, "It will make more sense if you would let me talk for a minute first." I don't say anything and he continues, "There was a plan to get you out of the arena. This plan has been in place for months. We spread the information out so that if anyone got caught, no one would know the whole plan. Beetee was in charge of blowing up the force field around the arena so that our hovercrafts could get in to get whoever was left out. Right now we are heading to District 13 which is still fully functioning underground."

"District 13?" I say, "So Katniss was right, it did still exist. And you knew about it, yet you acted like she was crazy for bringing it up."

"I never expected her to figure it out before we got her there." he says quickly trying to defend himself.

"So that's where she is then?" I ask desperately.

Haymitch shakes his head. His next words are spoken slowly and calmly, as if he was talking to a wounded animal, "We didn't get there in time...The Capital got there first."

I shake my head, "No, they couldn't have. Katniss the their Mockingjay! She should have been top priority!" I am yelling at him now but I don't care. All I can think about is how much danger she must be in right now.

Haymitch nods, "She was originally. But Preisdent Coin had an ulterior motive. She thinks you would be of more use to her then Katniss."

"So she left her in there!" I shout at him.

"Peeta-" Haymitch starts.

"Go get her." I say, my voice suddenly quiet, "I thought we had a deal. Save her."

He nods and I can see his eyes turn glassy as he says, "I thought we did too Peeta. I'm sorry."

I say nothing. All I can hear is my heart beating in my chest. I am so angry with him, with this President Coin, with everyone in the Capital. But above all that, I am terrified. This is what Snow wanted more than anything. The chance to control Katniss Everdeen, the symbol of the rebellion. I know he won't hesitate to kill her if she does anything wrong. The thought makes me sick to my stomach and suddenly I feel dizzy. I feel a needle in my back and everything goes dark again.


I swim back into consciousness again in a hospital bed. We are no longer on the hovercraft so I assume I am now in District 13. I stand up and pull the curtain back next to me to reveal Finnick. He is also awake and tears are streaming silently down his face.

"Finnick?" I ask carefully.

"How did the plan go so wrong Peeta?" he asks me softly, "I would have saved her if I knew what Coin was planning. I'm sorry."

"Are you okay?" I ask. Clearly he isn't this upset over Katniss. There must be someone else. Johanna maybe?

"They took Annie, Peeta." he says, his voice now trembling a little again, "She doesn't know anything about this."

"He's probably just trying to scare you." I say, trying to comfort him a little. I sit down on the edge of his bed, "I'm sure they know she doesn't know anything."

Finnick shakes his head, "They didn't take her because they thought they could get something out of her. They took her because they wanted to hurt me. They just couldn't get to me fast enough so they took it out on her."

We are both silent for a few minutes before I say, "I wish it was me in there. I would do anything to trade places with her."

"I know you would." Finnick says, "She loves you, you know." I don't say anything. "She does. I don't know in what way but I could tell in the arena how much she cares about you."

"I'm scared for her Finnick." I say quietly, "I'm scared I'm never going to see her again."

He just nods. We sit there for a few minutes before I stand and go back to my bed, hooking up the drip to my arm again. Is Snow trying to do the same thing with Katniss that he is doing with Annie? Because according to Haymitch, Katniss didn't know anything about this plan either. Maybe that will keep her alive a little longer. I know it's a cruel wish, that I'd rather have Snow manipulate her than just kill her and put her out of her misery. I can't help but wish for it anyway though. It's selfish, that's what it is. But I can't stand the thought of her being gone. Maybe Finnick is right and she did love me but even if she doesn't, it doesn't change the way I feel about her. And now I might never see her again.

I feel a cold liquid seep into my arm and I am knocked out once again.


I know that chapter was really short but I don't plan on having this story in Peeta's POV. the point of this was just to explain what was going on and to set up how Peeta felt about it. I hope you guys liked it anyway though. Next chapter will be up this weekend. Please review!
