Katniss
I rub my stomach as I watch the screen, feeling sick after watching my daughter get attacked by Jeremy. Thank god for Jesse, huh? Who knew he was that strong? I sure didn't.
The feel of my baby kicking startles me and I sit up straighter. Maybe, if my daughter wasn't fighting to the death in an arena, I would smile or be excited but right now all I can feel is dread. What if this plan doesn't work? What if we don't get them out in time? What if the baby I'm carrying, just like Hope, will be reaped.
"What's the matter?" Peeta asks, jumping out of his seat and kneeling in front of me.
"He kicked," is all I say. He gives me a sad smile and rests a hand on my bump.
"This isn't going to happen again, I promise. As soon as we get Hope out of that arena I'm going to kill Snow. Even if it's the last thing I do," he replies.
"I want to kill him myself. I want to shoot an arrow through his heart and-"
"You won't be doing anything except taking care of yourself. You need to be strong for Hope and the baby. You need to be ready to escape," he whispers.
"When are they going to come get us?" I ask.
"In a few hours, I think. Haymitch said he will call and then we'll sneak up to the roof," he explains. I nod and yawn. "Maybe you should get some sleep."
I shake my head. "I'll just have nightmares," I reply and he sighs.
"Fine but at least eat something."
I give in and order some food. Peeta smiles thankfully at me and I curl my lips slightly in return before turning back to he screen. I watch as Jesse carries Hope back to his and Finnick's camp. I sigh in relief when they arrive safely.
An Avox brings me the food and I dig in, realising how hungry I am. After I finish eating the Avox takes the dishes away and walks out just as Portia and Cinna walk in.
"Hey," Cinna says and smiles sadly.
"Hi," I reply, not taking my eyes off the screen. "Are you aloud to be in here?"
"Who cares?" Portia speaks up and I smile. "Effie and the rest of the prep team will be here soon, as will Finnick, Annie and Johanna. They're going to escape with us."
"We're going to have to be quick because as soon as someone realises that most mentors are coming up here they'll get suspicious," Peeta says.
I open my mouth to agree but the ringing of the phone stops me. We all go silent. Could this be it? Is this the call?
I watch as Peeta walks over to the phone and holds it to his ear. "Hello?" he asks. Someone on the other end speaks and he looks over and nods. This is it.
"Get everyone quickly and tell them to get to the roof as soon as possible. If we're not all up there in five minutes then they're going to go without us," Peeta says, hanging up.
"Where do we go once we're out of here?" Portia asks.
"The arena. We're going to bring them home," Peeta says and then everyone gets to work.
Cinna and Portia get these small square things out of their pockets and start talking into them. A cell phone, I think they're called. I wouldn't know how to use it even if I'd had one for fifteen years.
"Get everything you want and get to the roof," Peeta tells me. I take his hand.
"You and my daughter is what I want," I whisper. He presses his lips to mine before lacing our fingers together and then dragging me out of the room and into the hall.
We run through the hall and don't stop until we're by the opening elevator. Finnick, Annie and Johanna step out. "To the roof!" I yell and they start running.
Peeta starts walking but I stay still, noticing Cinna waiting by the elevator. "What're you waiting for?" I ask.
"The rest of the prep team," he says, his voice nervous.
"I'll wait with you," I say.
"No. Go. They'll be here now," he replies and I nod before running up to the steps.
Peeta and I climb them two at a time and we're on the roof on time to see the Portia being lifted into the vehicle. Peeta and I join the line and I hear Haymitch from inside yelling, "Hurry up!"
I hear the sound of chaos behind me and I turn to see my old prep team running towards us. "Isn't this exciting?" Octavia squeals, throwing her arms around me. I sigh. "Where are we going?"
"Just get in the craft," I snap and she jumps at my tone. My prep team have always acted childish. I swear Hope is more mature than any of them.
A loud alarm fills my ears as the rest of my prep team and the other's get in the hovercraft. "What's that?" Peeta yells.
Haymitch sticks his head out of the hovercraft and yells back, "The alarm. They know we're here. You need to hurry."
"Get on," I tell Peeta, realising the metal plate is empty.
"No, you first," he replies and I huff before stepping forward.
"Go!" someone yells from behind me and I turn around again to see the shadow of people running up the steps- Peacekeepers… with Cinna.
"Cinna!" I yell and run towards the door, not thinking of what could happen.
"Go!" he yells again.
"Katniss!" Peeta yells from behind me and I hear his loud footsteps following me.
"What are you doing?" Haymitch shouts. "We need to go now."
Peeta wraps his arms around my waist and drags me back to the hovercraft while I fight against him. "No!" I yell. "We can't leave him." I look down and, hoping Peeta will forgive me, bite his arm. He hisses in pain but releases me. I run before he realises that I'm gone again.
"No!" he yells but this time he won't be able to get me because I'm too far away.
"We need to go, now!" I hear Haymitch yell.
I know what's going to happen. I should go back but I can't leave my stylist behind. I spin around and yell to Haymitch, "Grab him and go!" Our eyes meet and we have a silent conversation.
Me: You need to save him this time.
Haymitch: Stay alive.
He nods, jumps out of the hovercraft and grabs Peeta. "No!" my husband yells, tears in his eyes. "Please, don't go! Hurry! I'll get him!" It's too late.
"I love you," I call as a group of Peacekeepers run onto the roof.
"Go!" I yell. A Peacekeeper grabs me. I feel a needle being pressed into my arm.
The last thing I see is the Hovercraft taking off before I fall into a deep slumber, all the while hoping Peeta will forgive me.
AN: To be honest, I don't think this chapter is good. I wanted to get something up ASAP for you guys and it turned out… like this. Sorry. Anyway, please review and sorry if there any spelling mistakes!
