Venom // Everlark ••Mockingjay short story plot twist••

Chapter 12

-Peeta's POV-

Fifteen months. That's how long she's been gone for, nothing heard from any of them to say how she's doing. She'd have given birth by now. The baby, oh god, how did Katniss go though labour and giving birth with no one to comfort her?

A knock on my door tears me away from my thoughts. walking to the door, I open it to be greeted with an actually decent looking Haymitch.

"Fancied taking a walk, want to join? Felt like seeing what's being re-built. He shrugs. I nod, leaving the door to slip on my shoes. I walk back and close the door behind me.

We walk down the steps, out of the Victors Village and to the town that's currently being re-built.

We walk around the town, looking at the re-done buildings, working in progress and planning permissions.

We get to the train station and see it crowded with people. We stand a fair view away so we can still see what's going on. The crowd separates as someone is guided down.

Eight guards are there, keeping the crowd away from the two women. They walk towards the Victors Village. They must be Capitol people who have bought them.

We decide to walk back home. As we walk through the Victors Village, we see Dr. Aurelius walking towards one of the houses as the two women stand in the doorway, the oldest hugging the younger.

We're walking towards my house when we hear a call. We turn to see it's Effie hugging the younger girl. Dr. Aurelius is standing with them, trying to get the younger girl to go inside.

After a while he manages and takes her inside. Effie comes down and his us both.

"Hey Effie," I greet. "Who was that?"

"Oh umm a good friend. She's been very unstable since giving birth. We've caught her trying to overdose herself on drugs so she dies."

I nod. She looks to Haymitch who looks concerned.

"Do you know her too, Haymitch?" I ask.

He nods.

"Can I meet her?"

They look to each other. "Not yet, she's a bit unstable after coming back."

"Oh." I reply.

Dr. Aurelius comes out. He walks over to us and smiles slightly.

"I've had to knock her out because she was freaking out and shaking badly. We may have to take her back if it continues."

Effie sighs. "Is there a chance she'll ever be normal again?"

He sighs. "After being what she's been through and everything else I doubt it. The memories here may be too much for her."

Haymitch sighs. "So she may never be the same again?"

He shakes his head. "I'm afraid not."

"Her whole life is ruined. She isn't even that old."

"How old is she?" I ask.

"Eighteen, Nineteen. I'm not one hundred percent sure." Dr. Aurelius replies.

"That's unlucky. Where's her child?"

"Sleeping upstairs."

I nod. "I'm going to head off and get the bread baking. Come over when you're done here." I say, turning and walking home.

-Haymitch's POV-

Peeta walks off to his house to make bread. I turn to Effie and Dr. Aurelius.

"Is she really that bad?" I ask. "The boy'll be heartbroken when he finds out it's her!"

"I'm afraid so. As soon as we arrived here in the train she had a flashback and when she was here she had another. It was that bad we had to sedate her. She hasn't improved at all in fifteen months but she insisted she should come back. At this rate she'll have to stay in the Capitol with her son while they both be treated of the rest of her and his life."

"She had a boy?" I ask.

He nods. "He's really the only thing that brings her back now. She used to gradually come back but nothing works. It's been hours before and as soon as we would bring him in she would calm down and be as normal as she can be in the matter of seconds."

"But why though?"

"Her nightmares and moments are about Peeta killing him." Effie explains.

"We can't just keep Peeta from seeing his son. It's his son!"

"Well there isn't a way for him to see him. It's guarenteed that if we take him from Katniss. She'll have an attack. The only other way is if we sedate her, and you know Peeta wouldn't want that," He sighs. "Should we just take her back?"

"Do you have any idea why she isn't improving?" I question.

He sighs and shakes his head. "I'm afraid not. We think there was something in the Venom that causes it to get worse if you try to treat and get rid of it"
