Peeta's POV:

I swear her eyes rolled back in her head as soon as she heard it. Luckily I was able to catch her before she cracked her head off anything. She was out for about a second before she woke up screaming. "PRIM! PRIM!" She screams wildly. All eyes are on us in the cafeteria, I lead her to the television to watch better.

"Why hello there miss Everdeen." Cesar greets. The camera spans to her and she's wearing a dress way too revealing for a young girl her age. It's as if snows trying..

"That bastards trying to sell her!" Katniss shouts punching a wall.

"Hello Cesar." Prim answers; she looks to the floor and her smile fades.

"How are you sweetheart?"

"I could be b-better I guess." She weakly smiles in attempt to make a joke.

"And why is that?"

"The Capitol kidna- I mean, I uhm- I miss my sister. And my mother, and Peeta."

"No prim!" Katniss screams. "Don't give us away!"

"So you've seen them recently?" Cesar sits front in his chair.

Prim smiles matter-of-factly. "Actually, I have Cesar. Their hiding, along with every other coward in the districts." I'm shocked she actually said that. She's so young, so pure. Someone that small should never have to have this burden loaded onto their shoulders as if their a pack-mule.

"Cowards?" He laughs. "Can you-" just hen Finnick parades into the stage sitting close to prim, He slings an arm around her and whispers into her ear extremely subtly.

She tries to play it off by smiling and giggling like their flirting.

"What's going on here?" Cesar asks wiggling an eyebrow.

"Oh nothing Cesar, you know. Business.."

Then it clicks. He's doing what we did, acting in love to keep her safe. "Business?" Cesar chuckles nervously. "Romantical business?"

"I guess you could say that..."

"And how is Katniss with all of this?"

"She is unaware.." Prim's upper lip quivers.

"Don't worry, your okay." Finnick kisses her head.

"That enough finnick." Katniss growls.

"So, would you two like to speak about a ceasefire?"

"Of course." Finnick looks the camera dead on. "The games are a terrible thing, they have been since the beginning. And if we don't do something now, if we don't take a stand nothing will ever happen. We must fight back!" He screams.

Prim stands doing a three finger salute to the crowd. The camera is tipped over, and the last thing we see is blood splattered onto the white tiles. Then the screen goes black.

"YOU BASTARD! LET HER GO!" She screams. I nod to Gale and since he's taller he cups a hand over her mouth and drags her from the room. I grab the bag and some of our food, and make after them. She kicks and claws trying to get out Gales grasp.

Thankfully he's stronger and we manage to get her to our room and I lock the door. Her constant screams then to strangled sobs, I walk to her and attempt to wrap my arms around her. "No! Stop it Peeta!" She screams. She launches herself from the bed and into the bathroom. I hear her throw up and I finally can't take it anymore. I pound on the door.

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