Chapter 10

PEETA POV

I groaned as I regained consciousness, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Haymitch sitting next to my bed. I then remembered everything, I tried to sit up but Haymitch restrained me.

"Easy boy, take it easy." He told me stiffly.

"But...Katniss." I tried to speak but Haymitch shook his head.

"All in good time boy, you still need rest and you need to get used to that new leg." H told me, I looked down and saw my artificial leg had been repaired.

I lay back; I looked over at Haymitch, desperate for answers.

"Haymitch please, tell me..." I tried to reason, but Haymitch simply smiled.

"You've got nothing to worry about boy." He stated and my heart leapt.

Still smiling Haymitch continued, "It was all you boy, if you hadn't given her CPR, she wouldn't have made it at all. You kept her going long enough to save her."

"So she's okay?" I asked, breathless.

"Yeah, she's still out for the count but she's alive and she's gonna be okay."

I breathed a sigh of relief and slumped back in bed. Thank God for that, Katniss was okay, she made it and...I had saved her, I smiled, I knew I needed more rest so I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep again, this time, it was peaceful.

KATNISS POV

I opened my eyes, the light was too bright, I had to blink a few times before the glare reduced. I looked around and saw Mom and Prim seconds before Prim engulfed me in a hug.

"Katniss, you're okay!" She was crying, I hugged her back.

After a while we separated and I smiled.

"I'm fine, what happened, last thing I remember was the explosion?" I asked them, worried, where was Peeta, was he okay?

My Mother explained.

"The chariot exploded, you and Peeta disappeared, Haymitch and Effie made sure we were safe and soon everyone was digging in the rubble, trying to rescue you."

There was a short pause and then, she continued, her voice strained.

"According to what we heard you were knocked out and...You'd stopped breathing."

I tensed, horrified, that explains the weird sensations I had felt, it was a near death experience.

"But, how did I...?" I began but of course it was obvious.

Prim nodded, "Peeta saved you, he gave you CPR and kept you alive long enough for you to be saved."

"What happened to Peeta, is he okay?" I asked, terrified.

"His artificial leg was badly damaged and nearly torn off completely, it's been repaired and he's fine, he'll likely come over and see you soon."

I nodded, relieved and lay back, everything was okay now.

A few hours later I was sitting upright and Peeta limped into the room.

"Something wrong?" I asked.

He shook his head and smiled, "It's fine, they decided to replace my leg, since it was too badly damaged to repair. It's just stiff, that's all."

I nodded and he sat down, the silence was no longer awkward between us, it now felt nice, sweet, like we didn't actually need words to tell each other how much we loved each other. After a brief silence Peeta frowned.

"Looks like your fears were right," He stated darkly but quietly, "It's pretty obvious who set that bomb."

I nodded and responded just as quietly, "Doesn't he realize that was a mistake, we're still alive, what was that supposed to achieve."

"Killing the 'rebels' that's what." Peeta whispered.

We were both quiet thinking the same thing, would President Snow's actions create the rebellion he feared. We both looked at each other and realized we were both thinking the same thing, I nodded grimly.

"I certainly hope so," I remarked grimly.

"Yeah, me too," Peeta replied.

After another moment of silence I began to feel tired again.

"Peeta, can you stay tonight? I don't wanna be alone." I asked him.

"Of course," He replied, smiling.

Feeling relieved I lay back and felt myself drift off to sleep. No matter what happened, I knew Peeta and I would face it together.

End of chapter and of story, what do you think, hope you enjoyed it. Might do a sequel to this story after I read Catching Fire, might do the same with Mockingjay. Please read and review.
