Two worlds (Everlark)

Chapter 36: Trust me

Charter 36

Peeta's P.O.V.

While the investigation proceeds, we can't be in the house.

They took Katniss laptop and her phone. It took time for them to fine her iPhone though, it was buried under everything in the mess in our room, and when they found it, they told us it was cracked, and it still had the number area open and a 9, so most likely she dropped the phone when they kicked down the door, and she was going to call 911.

And they told us that the majority of the blood in the kitchen is in fact Katniss, so she must have lost a lot of blood. But one puddle wasn't hers, it was someone else's, but they don't know who. And that means that Katniss hurt them. And from the looks of the blood Katniss fought back as much as she could.

She must have been so scared. Alone in the house when someone breaks in and having to defend herself from being kidnapped. But she was kidnapped. There has to have been two of them. And it was, they told us that they found two different pairs of shoe prints, big once.

I don't know what to do. I really don't. Because I can't do anything. All my muscles and I can't do a shit to save my girl.

I shouldn't have left her home alone. I should've known better than to leave her alone. Anything can happen. That got pretty obvious now.

You read about girls getting kidnapped and such but you never think it will happen to your girl friends or girlfriend. It's just... You don't believe it can happen until it happens and now it happened.

God! I hate this. Why did this have to happen? Why Katniss? That's what I don't understand. The police said that this was not something that just happened. That this had to be planned for weeks, since the people who took Katniss, knew that she'd be alone in the house, they must have studied the house and they knew how many of us lived here, so when Katniss finally was alone, they made their move and took her.

"Peeta, they'll find her", Finnick says, sitting beside me.

"How do you know that?" I ask and I hear how broken and empty my voice sounds.

"Because they have to", Finnick says determined. "I can't imagine a life without Katniss as a friend, as a sister".

I keep my tears inside of me with great effort. What would life look like without Katniss. I've forgotten how life was before I met her, she made me come alive somehow.

"What are we gonna do?" Annie asks destroyed.

Annie cried for hours yesterday and until she fell asleep, and today it just looks like all the life in her body has left her. And that's kinda how I feel.

Now when Katniss is gone, I feel like something has been ripped out of me, that I'm half a person. Like I felt before I met Katniss. Before I met Finnick even. When I met her it was like I knew that something was missing inside of me, like I was half a person, because when I kissed her, I felt like a whole person. That's how I know that she's my second half, I know that I don't function without her now that I know that I need her in my life to be able to wake up in the morning.

Finnick had to drag me out of bed this morning. Literary drag me out of bed. I hit the back of my head when I fell down on the floor. He told me that Katniss wouldn't have wanted me to die in bed. I guess he's right.

"Right now we can't do anything Annie", Finnick says. "It's an ongoing investigation".

"No Finnick, do! What are we gonna do without Katniss?!" Annie says. "And where is she? Is she being raped? Tortured? Murdered? What if they find her body all mangled or cut into pieces?"
