Hunger Games

Me and Plutarch, are with Katniss who is getting her cast of her neck. The lady is just gently massaging it to see if it is healing and if Katniss can talk

"Ok, I know it's a little tender. Let's try your voice now, my name is Katniss Everdeen I'm from District 12" the nurse says

"My " Katniss says hoarsely

"ok take your time, you've still got a lot of swelling in your vocal chords " she tells Katniss

"my name is Katniss Everdeen" She repeats before looking at Plutarch " I want to talk to him" Katniss says after clearing her throat

"He needs time, but we're trying something new today. He's been calmer with the doctors, but they're strangers to him so we're gonna test his response on someone he remembers from home. Someone he trusts" Plutarch tells her

********************

Plutarch leads, me , Katniss and Haymitch over to the room where Peeta is in . We look through the window and he is tied down on a hospital bed

"Send her in" Boggs says from beside me and the door opens and Prim carefully walks in and over to Peeta

"hey" Prim says to him

"Prim" Peeta asks

"how you feeling" Prim asks Peeta as she sits on his bed

"She's too close" Haymitch says

"it's okay" Plutarch says

"How'd you get here" Peeta asks Prim

"We live in district 13 now, it's a real place. Stories are true. You were rescued " Prim explains to Peeta

"My family haven't come to see me yet" Peeta asks Prim "there was an attack on 12" Peeta says

"Yes"

"my family."

"the bakery didn't survive " Prim tells him with sadness

"it's Victoria and Katniss. It's because of them" Peeta says

"it wasn't because of them"prim says

"Tey tell you that" Peeta asks

"they didn't tell me anything " Prim reassures him

"They are liars, Prim. It's a trick" Peeta says

"what your saying isn't real" Prim tells him

"They sent you here to talk to me. They know your here now. She knows,you can't trust her! She's a monster" Peeta shouts and Prim gets up and moves back "They are mutts" he continues to shout

"get her out of there" Haymitch tells Boggs and he goes to get Prim out

"You have to kill them Prim! You have to kill them!" Peeta shouts

" This is just a conditioned response. It's not him" Plutarch tells us

"No it's not him" I say but Katniss keeps staring at him

********************************************

Me and Katniss walk into the room where Coin is as she wanted us

"please come in" she tells us as a few men leave the room " have a seat" she says and we both sit opposite her " I am glad you are feeling better" Coin says to Katniss

"Snow has to pay for what he has done, I want to help the rebels in any way I can" I tell her

"it's hard to see Peeta this way" Coin says
