Peeta
I stand there watching Katniss scream in pain, clutching her head. I stand there powerless with tears streaming down my face. These past two months have been the hardest of my whole entire life. I went through the same routine every day with a fake smile plastered on my face but inside I was slowly breaking. Ever since Finnick and Annie told us what happened, everyone thought Katniss was dead except for Gale, Prim, Haymitch, Finnick, Annie, and I. Everyone tried to comfort me when they found out the news about Katniss but I politely refused and attempted to convince them she wasn't dead but all I got from that was pity. The first week was horrible. I believe I was slowly driving myself insane trying not to think about Katniss, but every time I thought she was gone Finnick's words would come back to me telling me that she loved me. Yes, I should have been ecstatic that the love of my life loved me back, but that just added to the pain.
Looking back at the screen I see Caesar looking at Katniss with concern, questioning what her flashback was about. Katniss responds, "Of Peeta torturing me," What? I would never do that. I love her. What are they doing to her? She then continues by saying, "or should I say President Snow. Listen District 13 I don't know how long I have before he shuts this down, but you have to keep fighting don't stop no matter what happens to me. Peeta, I love you okay remember that even if I don't. You must fight, not for me, but for your loved ones, the children you are protecting, avenge the deaths of all those children that were too young, too innocent to die. District 13 I need you to know THIS IS NOT A DRILL Snow is sending bombs there soon if not now run and hide. Protect yourselves NOW! I love you guys." She rapidly talks not giving anyone the opportunity to comprehend her words. I stare at the screen in shock as peacekeepers take her out of her chair and then beat her. I see her slowly inch towards the fallen camera punching out the broadcast, preventing us to see her condition.
At that very moment everything inside me breaks. I scream at the screen at the same time falling to my knees, not caring about the looks I am getting. The conversations about what to do next, the sirens blaring, the taps on my shoulder all fade into oblivion and all the matters are the black screen in front of me. That's when I hear someone say something that ticks me off so much that it brings me back to reality.
"What did you just say?" I ask my tone not wavering and my eyes glaring at the man standing in front of me. I slowly rise to my feet, walking up to the man that is lucky that Katniss isn't here.
"I said 'Why should we listen to two idiotic 17 year olds that don't even know pain? That girl is probably just lying to make Snow happy. To make us all die.'" The man confidently replies with his head held high.
"Sir, I don't think you have felt pain. Yes, you have had your home destroyed, maybe lost your family, but the both of us have had that happen and more. We went through TWO Hunger Games and survived. We both wake up to nightmares at night of losing our families, of losing each other. Imagine the love of your life, the girl you have loved since you were five, in the hands of your enemy and when she finally admits she loves you back everyone thinks she is dead. The love of your life is now getting tortured by 'you' and you are here watching, powerless. You don't have your whole family taken away from you, your home destroyed, the emotional pain, your love of your life taken away from you, you weren't thrust into a war right after you just fought your second battle, you weren't abused growing up, you have a reason to live. So, you sir DON'T KNOW WHAT PAIN IS!" I yell at the man in front of me whose gaze softens. He opens his mouth to speak, but I ignore it and turn to the others in the room. I begin to scream orders right and left heeding Katniss's warning. Everyone scurries all over trying to grab their families to safety. I walk up to the screen and rub my hand down its surface one last time before I run off.
I run up and down the corridors, yelling for everyone to run when I hear the first bomb go off causing debris to fall everywhere.

President Snow
I pace around my office trying to decide if I want to risk it or go on the same track just try harder. I only have one chance, so I can't mess up. Dr. Whale (Comment if you got that reference) watches patiently awaiting my orders. That's when it hits me, the one way to make sure the girl on fire survives this process.
"Whale, lets go on with the serum."
"Are you positive, sir? She might not survive this, the pain of it could kill her."
"Yes, I am. I can also guarantee that this is a success."
"How, sir?"
"By giving her something to fight for, by giving her something to fight for she will stop at nothing to save them. Plus that girl is very good at surviving."
"Okay, sir. If you are sure we will go prepare the needles." With that, he leaves the room with Miss. Everdeen. I stare at her face as she lies in a coma, so peaceful. Katniss you have no idea what is to come. If you think these past two years were hard, they are nothing compared to what is going to happen tomorrow.
Authors Note
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted earlier one of my family members had a wedding, and since I am an Indian, the wedding lasted three days and took a week just to decide what to wear. Now back to the story. What do you think Snow is planning to do with Katniss? Will Peeta be safe? Will Katniss? Should the next chapter be in Peeta's or Katniss's or another person's POV? Alright guys comment, recommend, add to your library, and vote because I promise you this is only the beginning. Ciao!
P.S. My friend and I have been writing a divergent high fic and I was hoping you guys can read it. The first chapter is up and on my account. Also it is not going to be boring, sappy, or cliche, so go check it out.
