The wrong lover

Chapter 12

- Katniss PoV -

Another week has passed I believe, that mutt has done 4 propos during that time. Those are the ones that I have been told about atleast. I'm about to do an interview telling lies. I just want this misery to be over. I hate Snow for the pain he puts me through, but I also thank him for showing me the truth. I know for certain that I hate my mother and sister, Gale, Haymitch and mostly Peeta. Snow doesn't want this for me, he does it because of Peeta. So I shouldn't hate on Snow actually, he is in the good here. 

I hear peacekeepers talking whilst coming towards me. It's probably for the interview, I hope atleast. I listen in on their conversation hoping to hear something interesting.

- I'm so happy they will be bombing district 13. It may stop the war. One of them says.

- Same here, I defiently don't want to be in war. Another one says.

They will bomb district 13. That's where my family might be if they survived the rebels bombing. Peeta is there, Gale might be there and Haymitch is there. If the Capitol succeeds with this bombing all they would not be in danger to me anymore. I smile at the thought of it as voices in my head still says they want them dead because of what they did. These voices are making me go crazy, if I'm not already crazy. Annie has been trying to contact me but I feel like my brain can't function. I feel slow and sometimes reality doesn't feel like reality. Sometimes I don't have to blink or breathe in 3 minutes and I'm fine. Both I and my feelings have gone numb, I have burns, whippings, cuts, bruises and scars. I have been electrocuted, boiled, waterboarded. I have been everything, I have been testing different syringes for them, I also get a shot of some syringe everyday. It shows me the truth and my memories that I just want to avoid but they haunt me.

Just as I think deeper peacekeepers drag me and I don't even move a muscle. I always thought I would pull away and it feels like an instict but this isn't their fault. I need to restore a mess I made, it's only fair. I get to the dress room and this time they just put me in a dress, that's when I begin thinking about what they said. About them bombing district 13, I don't want to tell them but I get a feeling that I need to. I look around thinking why I'm not getting put in makeup and perhaps it's to show the mutt what he has done to me. The dress is black and it suits me pretty well. 

- So miss Everdeen, you will read the lines and try to show emotion. We want you to show emotion so they actually stop. Snow says loudly so I get what he is saying.

- Okay. I say to him.

They door opens and I walk into the room, I take a seat on the armchair. The text comes up on the screen and not longer after we are live.

- A big welcome to all in Panem. Today we welcome back Katniss Everdeen. Caesar begins.

- Hey. I say back to him.

- So Katniss. Did you hear about the huge attack on the hydroelectric dam in district 5. It was caused by some rebels in the district and it has left the Capitol without energy. Caesar begins.

- Of course I know about it since it effected us all. That attack was terrible and it will take long before the Capitol can get the energy back on. The attack was terrible and it's not human to do so. The rebels have to stop and stand down because this is effecting everybody. That's all I have to say. I say to Caesar.

- Thank you for your honesty. Let's take another question... Caesar begins before the screen showing my lines go away and instead shown is Peeta.

I get scared but at the same time I feel love rushing through my body. It's not the same feelings, it's the opposites. I hate him but I feel a bit of love for him, it feels wrong and weird. I listen to what he has to say even if I want to ignore him.

- Katniss, I love you. Your family is alive. Just stay with us. Peeta says before it cuts of.

I feel myself forgetting all the bad memories and I snap back into reality.

- Peeta? Peeta? I ask towards the screen.

I remember what I heard the peacekeepers saying and I know what I must do. I must tell them before it's too late.

- Peeta, RUN! THEY ARE GOING TO BOMB DISTRICT 13!! RUN!!! I yell to the screen and that is the last thing I remember.

I feel a bullet coming through my head and other places. I fall to the ground with no hope of survival. Finally, inner peace.
