A/N: Thanks for reading that last chapter! I know you all have been waiting for this one so here it finally is! I love you all! Enjoy!
Last Chapter:
As we came up on the room, I saw Raiko on the ground with a big cut across her forehead, Ryan and Connor ran to her side, I saw that Doctor Wilson was on the ground as well with a gash in his head, and then I ran into Peeta's room to see an empty bed with a blood trail leading out of the room.
My heart fell as I realized I had lost my boy with the bread.
Katniss's POV- Stolen
"Haymitch! Haymitch! Help!" I screamed running out of the hospital and towards the hotel, I didn't stop screaming until I was out of the elevator and in his arms crying, "Help! Haymitch! They took Peeta!"
Haymitch held me for a second, shocked, "Calm down, sweetheart, take a deep breathe and tell me what happened."
By this time, everyone was huddled around me and some people were rubbing my arms.
"I'll show you, come on!" I urged, pulling his hand and I started to run back to the hospital with them on my heels.
When we reached the hospital, I didn't stop running until I saw Peeta's room with a crowd of people near it. I pushed through them, not caring who it was I only simply wanted to get Haymitch to the scene.
We saw Connor and Ryan in the room next door with Raiko being treated on, in another room Doctor Wilson was waking up. Finally, I broke through the last people and pulled Haymitch into Peeta's room where he was only an hour ago, kissing me. My eyes filled with tears as I saw the blood trail and people standing on one side of it, taking pictures, and some where even following it.
Haymitch gasped and then started looking everywhere for clues, "Come on, let's follow this." He pointed at the blood trail. I nodded following him and fully crying now. "Get yourself together, sweetheart, we are going to find him."
I nodded again, not fully believe him, "Okay."
We followed the trail of blood that was once inside glowing happy Peeta, my Peeta; my beautiful, amazing, glowing, stunning, happy, loving, caring, Peeta. We walked all the way outside onto the street to where they must have gotten in a hovercraft.
"It stops here." Cinna whispered, as he had followed Haymitch and me.
"Where could he be?" I cried, "Haymitch, where would they take him?" I pleaded, a huge lump in my throat as I cried, Cinna placed a hand on my arm in comfort.
Haymitch paused taking a long deep breath, "This has to be President Snow's doing." Haymitch looked around the area, "I believe they might have taken him to Cornucopia."
Cinna and I both looked at him incredulously, "Are you drunk?" Cinna asked.
"There is no way they would take him into the Cornucopia." I shook my head; the cornucopia is in the middle of the Hunger Games, why would they take him there? There are no other tributes there.
"Not that Cornucopia," Haymitch waved his hand in a dismissing manner, "There is a Cornucopia where they take people who have mental issues." And they torture them. Haymitch finished in his mind.
I gasped, "Well where is it? Let's go right now!"
"Katniss, as much as I would love to, we can't just barge in there," Haymitch shook his head, "there will be guards, traps, and anything you can think of to stop us."
"Let's go right now!" I yelled again, not caring about the guards.
"Katniss, I promise we will go as quickly as possible, but first let's go back into the hospital and tell the others what we know." Haymitch reasoned with me. I nodded, still wanting to go right now.
After we met up with the others, figured out that Raiko and Doctor Wilson were okay, and Haymitch explained the situation about the Cornucopia; I was getting very antsy. Then, I thought that maybe Nurse Elizabeth saw something, and I walked up to her.
"Nurse," I asked she turned to me, "Did you see anything that might help us?" My crying had stopped but of course I was still tremendously worried.
"…I don't… I don't know," The nurse started, "It all happened so fast, Miss Everdeen. I'm sorry, but after I saw that his mother and Doctor Tom got hit, they were kind of my main concern."
I nodded, "I can understand that, thank you."
As I walked away, Nurse Elizabeth's thoughts stopped me, "Poor soul doesn't know he will be dead by morning, especially being taken to the Cornucopia. She will never know what I know, or what I saw."
"How dare you!" I screamed running back to her, "How dare you think those thought!"
Haymitch pulled me by my waist to get me away, "Katniss! Anyone is allowed to have you're their private thoughts!"
"How dare you not tell me?" I yelled ignoring Haymitch, "What do you know! Tell us!"
That caught Haymitch and the Nurse off guard, Haymitch turned to her, "What is she talking about, Elizabeth? What do you know?"
Now the Nurse looked around at all of, as if trying to find an exit. "What do you know?" I shouted at her.
Elizabeth huffed and crossed her arms across her chest, "You are right about the Cornucopia, but what you don't know is a one Johanna Mason has been captured as well. Also, the President was here and that was who hit Doctor Wilson," Her voice broke, "and then he said something about making Katniss come to the Cornucopia and start shifting with Peeta's as soon as possible." She stopped; I glared at her throughout the whole confession.
The room was quiet while everyone processed that, "I am going right now." I said clearly for everyone to hear.
"I am as well." Cinna nodded first.
"We are too." Ryan and Connor said.
"I have to go as well." Haymitch nodded, placing a hand on my shoulder.
After that, Effie tried to go but Haymitch wouldn't let her also Venia, Octavia, and Flavius tried to go but we told them to stay back and keep watch on the news. Effie arranged a train for us to get to the Cornucopia and sent us off wishing us luck.
As we took the trip, Haymitch told us what to do. The plan was that I would go with Cinna and Ryan, while Connor went with Haymitch, and we would each try and meet in the middle while we fought our way through the Cornucopia or something to that affect. If one of us got held up, we would single to the other by ear piece, that we all put on.
"Cinna, you can show her now." Haymitch nodded towards Cinna, who nodded.
"Katniss, come here." Cinna called me to a room in the train, I followed him.
"What is it?" I asked, wanting to keep myself in the zone.
"Your mockingjay uniform is ready." Cinna told me, pulling out a gold rectangular box, and he handed it to me. I looked at the box and at Cinna before opening it.
I took the uniform out of the box and was amazed yet again by Cinna's skills. The uniform was a nice elastic leather and it started out in a v-neck that was white then it was black when along the arms and to my waist other than the sides of my waist being white and the under part of my forearms were white as well, and the sleeves went all the way down my into a triangle against the back of my hand.
There was a white belt that could hold a gun and knife and the pants were all black aside from my under thighs being white. There were boots and gloves that were both black. Also, the built in arrow case had about thirty arrows in it and the boy that was yellow, orange, and red along with the arrow case, much like a fire was hooked on to the bow case as well.
Cinna helped me into it and it fit me like a glove and I looked like a mockingjay in it. I smiled and hugged Cinna around the neck.
"It is perfect, Cinna." I hugged him.
"Thank you, you look absolutely stunning even in that. Come on let me braid your hair." Cinna pulled out a hair band and a come and started to braid my long brown hair. After my braid was finished, which stopped just past my breasts, we walked outside.
Ryan and Connor looked me up and down with a nod.
"That is amazing." Ryan complemented.
"I didn't think it would be better on her than on paper, excellent work Cinna." Haymitch nodded.
Then, we focused back on the mission at hand as we neared the Cornucopia; which was a huge prison looking dark place. The train stopped about a mile away from the place and we all jumped out after getting all the weapons and supplies we needed.
We all wished each other luck before we went out separates ways. Cinna had a gun and knife and so did Ryan as I took the lead and they followed close behind me. As we reached the prison, we found a back door that we all slid into silently.
We fought a few guards and then an air vent door was pushed out and a bronze haired head pocked out.
"Katniss, hello," The head spoke to me, and I realized that it was Finnick, but he was covered in sot and dirt from the ground.
"Hi, Finnick," I said, slightly amazed. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to help Johanna and Peeta of course." Finnick stood up in front of me.
"Wow, really? Thanks." I nodded truly thankful.
"Who are you two?" Finnick asked looking behind me.
"This is Cinna and Ryan, one of Peeta's brothers." I introduced them, "This is Finnick Odair."
Finnick shook their hands with a smile as if we were not in a horrible situation. Ryan returned the hand shake and so did Cinna.
"Nice to meet you, Finnick." Ryan nodded still stunned it seemed.
"I apologize about your brother. I promise to do everything I can to help him." Finnick told him nobly.
"Thank you." Ryan nodded again and Finnick turned to Cinna.
"Aren't you Katniss's stylist?" Finnick asked.
"Yes, I am." Cinna nodded, looking proud.
"Well, she looks fantastic every time I see her. Excellent work." Finnick shook his hand again. "By the way, Katniss I love your outfit." He looked me up and down with a pleasant smile upon his features.
"Thanks, shouldn't we get back to helping them now?" I asked, getting anxious.
"Oh, yes of course." Finnick nodded, turning around and running down the hallway and we followed him. "Look what I found," Finnick motioned to a huge room filled with weapons that we could see because we were on the second floor and the weapon room was on the first under us.
"Interesting." I muttered looking around the room.
"And look," Finnick pointed to a door on the side of the weapon room. "I think that might be Johanna's room." He said slightly unsure. I nodded.
"Well, let's go get her." I got up from our hiding spot. Cinna pulled me back down.
"I admire your courage, Katniss," Ryan started, "But we cannot just knock down the door and grab Johanna, we need a plan."
"But why?" I whined.
"First, her memories are probably messed up like Peeta's and she will most likely attack you," Cinna replied, "Second, there could be a number of guards from our spot to her and we don't know what kind of weapons they have and third, that uniform is too great to be demolished already."
"Well, then what are we waiting for," I asked, "Let's make a plan."
"Come on," Finnick motioned us to a door that led out of the prison, "There is a base not too far from here for us."
After that, we followed him to the white bright base that looked like a rose in the thorns.
"When did this get here?" I asked amazed.
Finnick opened the door for me, "It has been here forever but we renovated it a few weeks ago."
"Wow, this is incredible." Ryan looked around the foyer which had a diamond chandelier.
We walked through the light white expensive house and found Haymitch, Connor, Effie, and a guard that had the same outfit on as in the prison, Cinna, Ryan, and I pointed our weapons at him.
"Wait!" Haymitch ran in front of him, "He is on our side!"
"I apologize, I should have taken this off before I came in my name is Kurt Matthews." He introduced himself, "It is truly an honor to meet you all."
"Why did you switch sides?" I asked not lowering my bow yet.
Kurt shrugged, "I got extremely tired of Snow's rule and how they were treating people in the prison."
I looked him over, debating if I could trust him when Ryan walked towards him, "As long as you try and help my brother, I will trust you." Kurt nodded.
"I will not lose your trust. I can tell you exactly where Peeta and Johanna are." He told us.
I walked up beside Ryan, "I'll be the first to warn you that if you lose our trust we will kill you." I threatened him, keeping eye contact.
Kurt gulped but nodded, "I will not lose your trust. I promise that I am on your side."
I nodded back but didn't say anything. After that, Finnick showed me to a bedroom and let me sleep, even though I couldn't because Peeta was being tortured as I slept in a comfortable bed not two miles from him. That's it I had to go and get him now. I simply had to.
As I got into my mockingjay uniform again, I pinned on the mockingjay pin and loaded the twenty-eight bows I still had left, finally I braided my hair. I crept out of my room quietly and started to run out of the house before I saw that Finnick was tying his shoes on the couch with a trident beside him and a few knives in his belt.
He turned around, hearing me enter the room and he looked down at me ready to go, "You going too?"
"I have to." I nodded.
Finnick stood up and walked over to me, "I do as well, I kept seeing Johanna and Peeta being tortured in my mind and I just have to go and save them."
"That is what was happening to me." I nodded. Finnick grabbed his bag, that I hadn't seen before, and handed me a knife. I thanked him.
Finnick nodded, "Come on we need to go before someone wakes up."
We both ran out the door and into the darkness of the woods, quickly and silently, as if we were cheetahs hunting a gazelle. Finnick showed me the air vent that he crawled through to get in and we both made our way through it. Of course, on our way through we got completely covered in dirt and sot.
"This way," Finnick motioned to the weapon room again.
We dashed down a flight of stairs and to the door where Finnick thought Johanna would be kept.
"You go in and I will keep watch." Finnick told me and I nodded.
Before I turned the door knob and walked into the room, looking around everywhere for Johanna.
"Johanna?"I called quietly. It was dark but I could see a hospital bed, I walked over to it but Johanna wasn't in it. A shiver ran down my spine as I thought she could be going through torture but I shook my head, relishing that thought from my mind. "Johanna?" I cried a little more desperate.
A groan was my response and I ran towards the sound that was coming from a corner.
"Johanna!" I said relieved but also so worried as I saw all the cuts, bruises, and that her head has been shaved. I was about to bend down to help her but then the door opened and two guards walked in.
"Mason, it is time for your treatment." One of the guards said holding a whip in his hand. I looked back down at Johanna to see her quiver in fear.
I stood up in front of her and knocked out one of them and the other I shot with an arrow. After that, using telekinesis I shut the door and locked it. Then, I turned back to Johanna and kneeled down beside her head, lifting her head into my lap, and at first she recoiled.
"Johanna, it's okay, you are safe it's me, Katniss, remember?" I asked, pulling her head into my lap again and hugging her around the waist while she cried in my arms. "You're safe." I kept whispering to her, reminding me of how Peeta held me when I had nightmares.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door I read the thoughts briefly and heard Finnick. "She is in here, Finnick." I said opening the door and he ran over to us as he started to patch up Johanna's wounds.
After Finnick patched up all he could without the alarms going off or someone realizing we were here, Finnick helped Johanna up and told me to take the lead, he held Johanna's waist tightly as we walked out of the room. I pulled out my bow again and loaded an arrow.
"Shouldn't we go back for Peeta?" Finnick asked from slightly behind me.
"The primary role right now is for us to get her out of here. I can come back for Peeta, and besides he is probably the worse." I replied, stopping and looking back at Johanna before turning around and kept walking.
"That's not what you want to do is it? You want to get Peeta back right now? Don't you?" Finnick pressed on. I stopped behind a corner and looked around it.
"Of course I do." I whispered before seeing two guards around the corner. I shot them both silently before we kept moving. Soon we reached the front door and Finnick stopped for a second.
"Go, Katniss. You can save him, go." Finnick nodded to me.
"No, I can come back for him." I shook my head unconvincingly.
"I can get Johanna back, this might be the only chance for you to save him, Katniss, please go." Finnick pleaded. I looked at him then looked back into the prison, where Peeta was somewhere. "Go, I'll get Johanna to safety." That was what it took for me to nod.
I hugged Finnick and Johanna before starting to run back into the prison but before I could run around the corner Finnick called me, "Just like old times isn't it?" He asked smiling.
I smiled back, "Yes, Déjà vu." I replied before running around the corner.
I ran down several halls, looking for a room like Johanna's and searching for his thoughts. I came across a few guards and one sounded an alarm, so before they could get me; I tore off the guard uniform on one of them and simply placed it over the mockingjay uniform but kept my bow and arrows on the outside. I started running again.
Finally, I came across a hallway that had two guards in front of a door; which looked promising. I walked towards them, trying to catch my breath and look normal. The guards looked at me.
"Are you here in replace of Matthews?" One asked in a manly Capitol voice.
I nodded, not daring to say anything because they might recognize me.
"You here for Mellark?" The other asked staring at me suspiciously.
My breath caught in my throat and I had to bite my tongue in order to keep from crying. Peeta had to be behind those doors. I nodded again a little desperately.
"What is your name?" The first male looked around me at my fire bows.
I couldn't wait any longer and I knocked both of them out. Then, I took a deep breath being prepared for what I might see before I walked into the dark room.
Peeta's POV
I will never fall out of love with Katniss Everdeen, there is no way. Don't get me wrong, my memories are messed up, but she is a constant I can always find love in looking at her face in my mind. As I walk around the torture room that night, I hear two guards talking. Then, I hear them both fall to the ground and one stands alone about to come into the room.
My thoughts became instantly scared, is this a new guard they came to finish me off for good? If so, I will not allow it. I had to be there for Katniss. I could not die, because we were getting married in three months. I simply had to stay alive for her. I love her too much.
So, when a guard comes in then with bows, before thinking about which one it could be I get up wrapped my arms around his throat and choke him.
