Chapter 42

Peeta's P.O.V.

I don't know what I'm suppose to do here. They just took Katniss away from me. I'm standing by myself, pacing around. I don't know what to do. I don't know what's gonna happen to Katniss. She didn't look good. She actually looked dead.

If Katniss dies, I'll be gone forever in darkness. I'd loose the other half of myself. She can't die. She can't leave me. She just can't.

"Peeta!"

As I turn around Primmy crashes onto me with her arms wrapped tightly around me and her face buried into my stomach.

Plutarch and Katniss mother rushes up to me, panting, not being able to run as fast as Prim must have been running.

"What happened? The police called and said that Katniss has been found?" Plutarch asks and looks at me questioningly.

I nod and start telling them everything I know. From the part where Ella said that she knew who took Katniss, to when we got the cd and up 'till when we found Katniss and what happened to Ella.

It's hard for me to talk, knowing that Katniss could be dead. I try to keep a steady voice throughout the story, but I can hear when it cracks.

"Will Katniss survive?" Prim asks looking up at me with her big blue eyes.

"I... I don't know", I say. "I really don't know".

"Peeta?"

Annie and Finnick. They walk up to us. Finnick's shirt is bloody after having Ella in his arms.

"What happened to Ella?" I ask.

"They brought her straight to surgery", Annie says. "We don't know anything yet".

I nod my head slowly. This is going to be a couple of hard hours for everyone.

After about an hour the rest of the group shows up. And after another half an hour two women and a boy in Logan's age comes and asks for Ella. Is this her family? Who's the boy? Is it Ella's brother? I didn't know she had a brother.

One of the woman is older. The other one is crazy much alike Ella, like a bigger version of tiny tiny Ella.

"Where's Elvira?" The older woman says.

Who?

It takes me a minute to realize that Elvira is Ella's whole name, that Ella is only her nickname.

"She's in surgery mrs Michaels", Annie says.

"What happened?" Ella's brother asks.

I don't know how we are suppose to say this. And to my relief we don't have to. Just as I'm about to open my mouth two police men joins us to take away Ella's family to talk to them.

This is going to be hard on them. I can't even imagine how this is going to be for them. Their uncle and grandfather, husband and father-in-law did something terrible. That's not going to be easy for them to hear.

I turn away. I can't watch them as the police men break the news for them. It would be too painful to watch. Instead I just wrap my arms around Prim and keep her close to me. She needs my comfort. She's fourteen and she's afraid for her older sister's life. I don't know how much comfort I can bring her since I'm devastated myself, but I'm doing my best.

I don't know what to say to make Prim feel better. I don't know what to do. I just ... How can I comfort anyone while feeling so broken?

After a couple of hours a doctor comes up to us.
