Chapter 16

My heart was pounding so hard, it was the only thing I could hear, I stood there… paralyzed, everything was happening in slow motion, it seemed a lie that seconds ago everything was going so fast…

I could not move at all, I felt my legs like jelly; I was so weak I could faint at any moment, and then everything hit me… Gale betrayed me, Paylor tricked me, I had my memories back, and Peeta…

…was dead….

This wasn´t like other times I thought Peeta was dead, I had no evidence back then, but now… he was shot before my eyes and his body was curled on the floor.

One tear fell from my cheek, I couldn´t believe it was finally happening, Peeta… dead, I couldn´t believe I was so inconsiderate with Peeta, I should have left, to work, then Peeta would be safe in district 12.

After all we went through and all the times he risked his life to keep me safe, that´s how I thank him…. Making sure he got killed.

Everything was my fault, I knelt down and buried my face between my hands, I was no longer sad, I was mad… at Gale, at Paylor, at me and even at Peeta. I needed to do something to avenge his death, it was unfair, I hated everyone who ever hurt Peeta, I was going to do something, Peeta´s death was not in vain!

I was going to kill them…

Meanwhile Paylor stood there, laughing like someone just said the funniest joke in the world; it made me furious, I was going to kill her…

Gale stood there, looking oddly at me, emotionless, something about him was strange. I wondered what happened to the Gale I met several years ago in the woods, what had happened to my hunting partner? I did not care anymore, no matter how much you know somebody don´t think they can´t be influenced to act different. I finally understood this.

My eyes burned from all the tears, I got closer to them, I could not even look at Peeta´s body; "You… are going to pay for what you have done!" I said the only problem was that I had no weapons.

"You silly girl, you should have never left District 2 after the rebellion in first place, that way it would have been easier to kill you… but why? You may ask, well, you knew too much about the Rebel´s secrets and Alma Coin, left in her testament orders to dispose of the Mockingjay after the 76th Hunger Games with the Capitol´s children was over, but unfortunately that never happened, and you left, so it was my job to bring you back and I took every measure possible to make that happen"

"I-I don´t…" I said but Paylor interrupted me, "Don´t you see Katniss! I made sure the Sargincray bit you, I hope you have died but you were smart and lived, then I conducted every step you took towards the lion´s mouth, it was all a trap, we convinced your little friend to join the army in your place so you could have your memories back, but we wanted to give you the memories as much as we wanted Peeta in your place, so we tried to poison you, unfortunately you never got to the third substance in the Hospital wing. Then your friend Gale convinced you we were going to kill Peeta before you got here, so he hurried you to district 13 and you got your memories back so it would hurt much more seeing your lover die before your eyes!"

"Everything was set up" I shouted, I had been fooled, if I hadn´t been so ignorant maybe Peeta would still be alive…

"Of course, we never wanted you back to fight for a cause, we wanted you dead" She said pulling out a gun, I closed my eyes waiting for her to shot me, but instead she threw the gun to me. It was relatively small, with glass bullets and a green liquid inside, I looked at her puzzled, she smiled and said, "New version, kills instantly, Sargincray venom, and this time you won´t be able to suck it out… and you´d be the second to try it, Gale already did… so why don´t you finish the job for us and kill yourself"

I took the gun, looked at it and thought…

No more pain

No suffering

Instant death

I had made up my mind, I did not want to live a life without Peeta, I loaded the gun and slowly pointed it at my head, I looked one last time at Peeta, his eyes closed, like he was just sleeping, but he was just so pale and covered in blood that it was impossible for him to be alive.

"He is dead cold Katniss, listen…" Said Paylor, I knelt down and placed my head on his chest hoping to see a sign…

…No heartbeat…..

….No pulse…..

….Not breathing….

She was right, Peeta was dead, and he looked odd, like he did not belong here, he wasn´t supposed to die…

Not jet…

Not here…

Not this way…

I wondered if he died without pain, it was Sargincray venom after all; I had the strange feeling I was missing an important detail about it… But anyways that did not matter, I was going to die, I was going to kill myself, I had no emotions in that moment…

To be honest, I stopped feeling when he died…

I brushed Peeta´s hair away from his face, one last tear fell down my cheek and fell on his instead, he had a faint smile that convinced me Peeta was the only valuable thing I had left, I stood up and again pulled the already loaded gun to my head, I closed my eyes and placed my thumb on the trigger, I was ready to go, I had no fear, I had been brave long enough…. I was free….

I was about to pull the trigger when I heard a familiar voice.

"Katniss wait!"

I dropped the gun, and saw someone running in damp clothes, towards me, I couldn´t make out the runner´s face, but I hoped it was Peeta, maybe it was just some sort of trick Paylor pulled on me…

Peeta may still be alive…

He got closer and I was both awed and upset….

It was not Peeta, but someone that was already there….
