(Peeta POV)
I wake up to the dim morning light, Katniss wrapped in my arms, my movement wakens her she opens her eyes and by the look in them I can tell she just wants to sleep a little longer, I look at the clock which reads 4:00 AM. I know we have to leave in the next 1-2 hours so I leave her to sleep just a bit longer. I'm used to waking up early, after I opened up the new bakery I've gotten used to waking up early. I first count the hours I've gotten to sleep, while I make my way to the bathroom, then I make breakfast like every ordinary day. I find a few cheese buns, but find they're all stale, and some have mold on them. I throw them away then decide to have an some orange juice, and crackers. I go to the living room to turn in the tv to see if there's any news about the war, but I walk in to find the broken coffee table and my blood everywhere. The room is filled with the almost metallic like smell that  blood has. I go to the kitchen and grab a paper towel roll, and a glass of water, I pour the water over the dried blood so it will be easier to clean. As I clean I notice the blood trails out to the front yard, I guess I didn't notice this last night so I continue cleaning I tell myself the trail is just from when the paramedics carried me to the ambulance, but the bloods texture is different, it's a lighter red, and it's not as dry. I stop cleaning when I get to the threshold of the front door. I make Katniss a breakfast of crackers and orange juice, and put some chocolate ice cream next to it just for fun, I know she'll be up before it melts. I go and check the tv all it shows is a blue screen with "Survivors in 13" written in red on it. Then my curiosity gets the best of me I go to the front door nervous to open it I slowly open the door, I look out to see Greasy Sae the trail of blood leads to her head, her sad grey seam eyes frozen in fear, I hear my heart rate rising quickly, but it almost stops when I see written in her blood, "We know your here, tell us where to enter 13 or Finnick dies".
