Peeta fell asleep soon after our conversation, I couldn't sleep. So I laid there awake for three hours before eleven thirty hit. I took one last look at Peeta's beautiful face and left with my fathers hunting jacket and the pearl Peeta gave me. 

I knock three times on Johanna's door and she opens it and walks out quickly. "You left your cat in my room brainless." She smirks.

"Let's drop him off with Peeta."

"Okay." We jog back to our room and she places him in there silently. It's becoming closer to midnight so we jog steadily to the hovercraft pad. "Do you really love him?" She asks as we jog.

"Yes."

"Have you told him?"

"Yeah."

"When?"

When we got out the arena and I thought the Capitol had him. I just felt like I couldn't breath, you know? I need to be with him."

"What..about Gale?" She asks pausing a bit as we round the corner. 

"Our love was virtually nonexistent to each other. To everyone else it seemed we would be destined, and maybe to me at some point I thought so too. But I always knew that I couldn't be able to be with someone that similar to me. I needed something new and different."

"And that's Peeta." She smiles.

"Yeah."

Everyone's waiting when we get there.

"Right on time." Haymitch smiles. "Let's get going shall we?"

Everyone makes their way into the hover-craft and I sit at the end of the row next to the window. I don't know of the hovercraft was moving or the large floor we were on moved but I watched as everything got smaller. And just as we left the large room I see something that completely shatters my unbreakable heart.

Peeta, with his eyes full fear and face red and puffy from crying.

"Katniss! Come here." I don't know who said it but I get up quickly wanting to forget what just happened. Everyone's surrounding a table with some type of holograph. "This is a map of twelve, here's the location of the Justice building, the victor village, and the fence. Now apparently the hospital is under the victor village, the question is how we get there."

I rack my brain then I remember. "All of the victors houses are connected in the bassments, and then to the Justice buildings. I'm sure if we find the safest route we can decide which way is which and get there quickly."

"And which house would you think easiest to get to?"

"Peeta's house. If we all go in separate ones, at different times it won't look as suspicious."

"Fine, you start there. Everyone else cover your faces and haul ass into a house. Got it?" Boggs asks.

"Yeah." Everyone covers their faces and we make our way to the door. The craft lands with a thud and we all rush out. We're instructed to crouch until the propellers stop.

When they do everything's dead silent for endless seconds. Without thinking I whistle Rue's four note song and I'm instantly greeted with a reply from the only thing it could be. "Mockingjays.." Johanna reads my thoughts.

"I've never ever seen them here."

"Someone would have had to bring them.." I whisper.

"Snow.." Boggs warns cautiously.

"Haul ass!" I shout taking off towards the village. I sling my old hunting bow over my shoulder. I grip the sheath of arrows and run as fast as I can along the treeline, everyone behind me stops and will come out gradually.

I do, I need you. #wattys2016Where stories live. Discover now
