Princess of Panem

"They're back." All five occupants shot up all of them racing to the hospital. The first thing they heard was a groan as Atlas ripped out an IV and demanded to see his family. "Where is my wife?" His dark curly hair had vanished replaced by a shaved head. Although a lot smaller then the Games Atlas was still strong and holding a nurse by his collar. "Put him down!" Victoria scolded running to him. "VICTORIA!" He lifted her up and hugged her tight being careful of the small child in her arms.

"JO! Johanna!" Katniss looked to see Artemis ripping her own IV out seeing her wife. "WOMAN!" Johanna raced forward almost not catching her wife. "You're okay." Johanna whispered hugging her close. "I promised I'd come back." Artemis whispered back. "Regina!" The youngest Kane sprinted to Annie wrapping her arms around her fiancée. "I got you." Cordelia and Finnick were still looking. "I found Mags." Finnick whispered jogging to an older woman. "JONAH!" The scream alerted the unoccupied Kanes of their missing member.

They all crowded his bed crying. "He's down there." Katniss looked up to see Gale. "You're ok?" She questioned he nodded. She stepped towards that way but was intercepted. Melody ran and threw herself into Gale's arms. "You're okay. I thought something had happened." Gale whispered to her and Katniss ventured to the room. Artemis suddenly looked up. "WAIT!" Everyone turned to her. "You can't let Katniss see Peeta. Please!" Cordelia ran down the hallway hoping to stop the teen in time. She was too late and only managed to pry her away.

"It was venom." Artemis whispered in the meeting room. "It first started off with beatings, then they started injecting him with venom. We tried to remind him but it was useless he got more aggravated we had to stop." Johanna held her hand tightly. "They made Annie listen to us, they never laid a hand on her they just made her listen." Regina's hand clenched. "They would beat an Avox or one of us and try to force Mags to speak." Cordelia shook, the poor woman. Her throat would be in so much pain from trying to speak not to mention the mental pain of knowing they were being tortured because of you.

"I don't know too much about what happened with Atlas, they took us at the same time, I just know they beat him. There was sometimes electricity." Atlas's shaved head suddenly made sense. "They made us confused we couldn't tell what was reality and what was just things they said or showed us to torture us." Artemis shook slightly. "I'm sorry I can't tell you more." Boggs shook his head. "You did perfect." She tried to smile at him. Coin sighed. "Thank you Mrs.Mason for the information."

"Do you think I'll be able to see Peeta soon?" Coin looked over at Plutarch. "Perhaps, we just have to find a way to undo whatever the Capitol did." Artemis nodded. "You may go." Coin added and the group left. "Ms.Kane, Mr.Odair." The two paused and she waved them over. "We want to pause the wedding and wait till the other Victors and your brother have healed up, hopefully we can include them show everyone despite everything we're happy and healthy." Finnick squeezed her hand telling her to let him answer.

"Of course madam president, if you'll excuse us." Coin nodded allowing the two Victiors to leave. "That bitch." Johanna raised an eyebrow. Finnick shook his head but Cordelia ignored him. "She thought I still want to have my wedding in two days." Finnick coughed. "Ours." She glared at him. "Of course I want to put it off." Artemis fidgeted a bit. "Let's go back I want to check on Mags." He didn't let Cordelia argue he instead grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the medical wing the rest of the group following after.

"What happened." Atlas wanted to know everything in the Capitol everything was hidden now he needed to know. "Peeta attacked Katniss she's unconscious will be for some time. The rest of you are being monitored. Just don't attack anyone and they'll let you out." Atlas nodded mouthing a thank you to Finnick. "What've we missed?" It was Annie. "Well Cordelia and I started planning our wedding it'll take place once everything has settled down." Atlas whispered a congratulations. Cordelia smiled at him. Artemis gave her a hug before allowing Johanna to help her settle in her bed. "8 was bombed I don't think there's any survivors." The recently uncaptured froze. Melody glared at her sister from her spot by their brother.
