The wrong lover

Chapter 20

- Katniss PoV -

I wake up again in a white room with a smell making me want to throw up, Snow's perfume. 

- Miss Everdeen. I thought it truly would work. I never thought you would be able to escape that hijacking only using Peeta's eyes. Snow says to me.

- Get lost Snow. I say to him.

- I SAVED YOUR GODDAMN LIFE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOURS IT TOOK FOR THE DOCTORS TO SAVE YOUR LIFE! YOUR PATHETIC LIFE! He yells at me.

- How long was it since that day? I ask him concerned now.

- It has been days, weeks. The rebels are on their way here. So I will make your last living days on the earth the most painful once. In the end death will meet you. Snow says to me, I gulp in fear as he walks out leaving me alone. Restrained.

I want the rebellion to win the war. I still don't remember what truly happened. I knew I stabbed myself after I saw Peeta hurt. I must have been the one that hurt him. Before that I don't remember anything. I remember coming to the Capitol being placed in a room with syringes. They went into me and it all became blurry after that. Did something happen then? Something must have happened since I went from the Capitol to district 2 with gear. I despised the red outfit I wore but I don't know why I had it. I'm lying here, awaiting my death. 

- Peeta's PoV -

Today was the day. I'm standing on the front line with the other teams and we are rushing in the Capitol. They are here to free Panem but I'm on a different mission, save the woman I love. Her kiss in district 2 was filled with all of her love and I realised it. Even when she was in all of her pain she spent the last moment with me, she remembered me. If she did survive that attack ,which is not likely, then her life is endangered. 

Hours pass and it's became chaotic. Peacekeepers are everywhere and so are the mutts and podds. We don't waste any seconds that we can use to come further into the Capitol. We have lost many good men and women. Before I left for the Capitol I and Delly kissed. I regret it so much knowing that Katniss might be alive still. If I was dead would she move on? I don't even know if she loves me. 

(3 days later)

As we progress further into the Capitol I see the mansion. My love must be waiting for me. Don't worry Katniss, I will save you. I had gotten to know she was alive about two days ago. When she was having the last interview before the rebels won. Well they didn't know that then. Now it's obvious that we win. It's over Snow.

- Katniss PoV -

I see a big group of rebels coming closer to the mansion. I scream in pain as they put the final knife through my chest, right in my heart and twist it. It goes through my body making me stick on the wooden wall behind me. I'm in extreme pain counting that I am stuck to the wooden wall with ten knives. Ten knives going through my body. They all have a rope around them and there is a line outside of the gate. It's set so if anyone walks over the line every single knife pulls out and I fall down, probably bleeding to my death. I want to pass out because of the pain, knives in my chest, stomach, elbows, hands, knees, feet. Ten in total. I see the rebels stopping at the white line thinking a podd will go off. That's when I hear Snow's voice. I have no idea where he is but he is somewhere speaking to the rebels.

- What you see infront of you is my last defense. You may all go and leave this rebellion behind and her life is spared. The other alternative is that you go across that line and all the knives get pulled out, every single one. Leaving her to fall and bleed out. So is your rebellion worth killing Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire? A young 17 yeard old... He begins and I somehow feel offended.

- 18 year old! My birthday is today! I yell at him and he looks at me shocked.

- There you go, a young 18 year old girl. On her birthday. I think we all learnt something new today. Katniss Everdeen's birthday. Snow says.

One male that looks to be from district 13 walks over the line and I scream in pain as the knives release and I fall to the ground breaking my nose in the process. My heart stops beating but I still have enough to survive for a bit longer. I feel someone grabbing me but I push their arm away.

- I'm just going to sleep for a minute. I say pushing their arm away again, everything turns dark.

- Medic! Medic!! MEDIC!!! I hear the person screaming, a boy, Peeta.
