A/N: heya :) SORRY I DIDN'T UPDATE IN FOREVER! i just got back from visiting some friends in LA :) hope you like this chapter!


Peeta's POV: We explain to Katniss that she's already won, and that Cato had banged her head on the floor. She thinks we're joking, so we try to get a nurse.

"Ms. Everdeen, deary, you've just had a major concussion. You've lost your most recent memories. " Then the nurse turns to us.

"Ms. Everdeen here has been diagnosed with retrograde amnesia. She's lost the most recent memories that her brain has stored. She's completely forgotten the events of the last three weeks, the period of the Games. Unfortanately, there is no proper cure, and you just have to jog her memory with clips of the Games, or the aftermath. You could show the bruises and cuts she accumulated from the proccess of the Games,"

I nod my head, and hold Katniss' hand. Gale glares at me, but I don't take my hand away. Although Gale himself didn't tell me, he broke up with Madge. For reasons unknown. But why do I have a feeling that he's looking to his old crush 'Catnip?'

Prim slides the CD into the player, and we watch the Games. Katniss' eyes are wide when she sees the brutal battle between her and Cato. However, she does nod in approval at Rue and herself when she clears the tallest hurdle with no hands. Everyone's eyes are glued to Katniss when the crowd watches in awe at the accuracy and speed she has with a bow and arrow. The sight of a completely capable Career missing the bullseye by many rings is depressing. They're supposed to be trained in everything. The odds are supposed to be in their favour. When the DVD is finished, the CD slides back out for Prim to place back in the case. I turn to Katniss, who's gaze is now darting to the floor, and ask,

"Do you believe us now?"

She nods. She keeps her gaze turned to the floor though.

"Katniss, are you okay? What's wrong?" she looks up to me with guilt-filled eyes. Then she whispers to me,

"I'm sorry." Then before I even have time to be confused, she gets up and runs out the door, full speed.


Katniss' POV: "I'm sorry." I rasp. Then I do something I haven't done in a long time. I run away.

I run to the woods a couple of blocks away from campus as quickly as I can. I look back to see that no-one is running after me. Good. No-one is to come look for me. I stop at my room on the other side of school, and as quickly as I can I stuff my clothes in a backpack. I grab a few granola bars, fruits and two water bottles. I leave my cellphone in the room, but take my room key. I think of Prim and Peeta and how they'd have a better life without me. I quickly pull on a black nylon jacket and grab my shoes. After I'm sure I have everything I need, I neatly write on a notepad I love you. And take off towards the woods a few blocks away.


Peeta's POV: We try to run after Katniss, but she's too fast. In a matter of seconds, she's dissapeared. I start to pace in worry. Where would she go? Then a thought pops into my head. Madge!

"Madge, take us to your room!" I bark. She nods, and then she runs with Prim, Rory, Gale and I on her heels. Once we pass a few buildings, we get to Katniss' room. Then we see nothing. Half of her clothes are gone, food from the fridge is pretty much gone, and all that's left is a notepaad with her neat printing that says I love you.

Then worry begins to take over. We try calling Katniss but her cellphone rings in the room. Gone. She's gone. Where could she have gone? She could have gone somewhere in school to think about something. But I have no idea why she would run away from us. She wouldn't take her clothes or food or water if she went somewhere to think for a little while. Then the thought hits me. I think I say it in my head, but apparently my voice has a mind of it's own.

"The woods."

the woods O_O is Katniss coming back? sorry for the cliffhanger. :) reviews make me happy! they make Peeta and Katniss happy too!
