Chapter 12 KATNISS

The next few minutes come and go very fast. Everyone in the room clears a path and stands over me. They pier down at me with pity. Some follow instructions from one man, who I guess is going attempt to heal the terrific red and white splotch on my forearm. Good luck, I say in my head to the man. It looks like a lost cause of me.

"This might hurt a bit." The man says as he looks at me. He is an older man. In his mid 40's. His, I guess, once black hair is now greying. He wears glasses, and has a very concentrated look on his face. I hope he knows what he's doing.

I look down at my forearm hesitantly. He is examining the burn. It has already made a scab so I don't know why he must heal it. It is healing itself. He puts one finger under the millimetre thick scab, sending a shock of pain through my body. He gets a grip under the scab and rips it off. What is he doing?! Trying to kill me?! I push him aside a shrivel on the ground under severe pain.

"Pass the morfling" I hear the man say.
Next thing I know I'm out cold.

Where am I? All I see is white. Maybe a shining light? Yes it's is a bright light. As my eyes adjust to the light I can see I am in a hospital room, oh not again, in district thirteenth. I look to my side. It's Prim. She is sitting next to my bed on a chair. Her hair is tied back in two French braids resting on her back. She has her doctor uniform on, the one she used to where when we were back in 13.

"Hello" she says when she realizes that I am awake. I don't reply. I am at a loss for words. Prim is sitting before me. How?

"Can we talk?" She asks. I nod in reply.
"I know that you must feel betrayed by Peeta, but he doesn't know what is wrong and what's right. He thinks you are his enemy, witch your not. It's called hijacking-"

"I know" I cut her off.

"Oh okay." She looks offended.

"We'll all I wanted to say is to give him a chance to heal and get to know you again. If you do he will be just like old Peeta the one we all know and love. And if you don't he might be stuck alone for the rest of his life, same goes for you. You both can understand what each other what each has went through better than everyone because you were with each other through it all, and he doesn't forget that. Even if he think you were a traitor the hole time." She smiles and laughs a little. I smile too, for the first time in a very long time.

"Now get some rest." She pauses "oh I almost forgot, when you wake up you can find Peeta in the woods." She winks at me, and leaves the room.

I wake in my bed back at home. I look down to my forearm. It has a small bandage raped around one area. I get up and look outside. It has started to snow. I guess fall is over.

My thoughts return to the dream I just had. Was its a sign? Did Prim's soul come to give me advice? This sends a shiver down my spin. Prim did say that I would find Peeta in the woods. Should I take her advice? I decide to do just that. I get dressed and run down the stairs. I look in the closet for a jacket. I find my dads old jacket I wear when I go hunting, and head out into the cold winter air. Prim said to find Peeta. Why not take some advice from your little sister for once?

Hello! I hope this will get my reads up. I have decided to get them to interact more now so it's not as boring. Thanks for the feedback btw :) so I was wondering do you guys think my chapters are too short? Some of my more recent ones have been REALY SHORT but I would say this one is a normal sized one. Do you think it's too small? Comment below! And thanks for the support!
