Katniss pov
(Before the rescue)
The power has been out for a while, and it's really dark. I can still make out figures, though. I am just about to let go of life. I really wish I could. That would be great. To float away into a dream land with all of the lost ones I loved.
I hear footsteps outside. They're coming back. Maybe this time, they'll accidentally kill me. Oh, that would be amazing.
It's not the Capitol men who come through the door. Instead, it's the opposite.
My long lost soulmate, my star crossed lover, my enemy, my ally, my friend, my love. I see through the darkness the most amazing blue eyes. They find my stormy ones, and I get lost.
He came back for me.
"Katniss," he says.
"Peeta."
Peeta, Haymitch, and a large, bulky, dark skinned man help carry me. I wince from the pain.
"We need to knock her out. It will get rid of the pain." Haymitch says.
Peeta objects. Haymitch argues saying that I am in pain, which I am.
Just before they knock me out, I see a bright light turn on.

Peeta's pov
I fall to the ground, and Katniss falls on top of me. Luckily, she has already passed out because of the maxi one Haymitch shot into her arm.
I quickly take the goggles off, and my eyes sting.
"We need to move. Now that the power is back on, we are exposed to anyone who has access to the cameras." I say, motioning towards security cameras lining the walls.
By now, everyone has taken their goggles off, and we run. I offer to carry Katniss by myself, and nobody objects. Except for Gale.
"I'm sure she doesn't want some one legged wimp carrying her. Let me. I'm stronger and have all of my limbs," he says.
"I'm sure she doesn't want a jerk like you carrying her. Oh, if she were awake right now. And who is the Victor of two hunger games? Who-" I am cut off by Haymitch.
"Come on. Stop fighting. Peeta will carry sweetheart. No more questions."
We run as fast as we can. My leg hurts really bad, but I dare not slow down. I have Katniss, and I cannot risk my life and hers any more than I already am.
We reach the stair case and take them all the way to the top. When we get to the hovercraft, which is still in the air, I let everyone else get on the ladder before me. Once they are all up there, I hold onto Katniss and the ladder as it raises up into the hovercraft.
I sit down with her, rocking her back and forth.
Her wounds will be treated when we get back to 13.
She opens her eyes and stares into mine. I smile. I love her. I am so lucky to love her.
The way she smiles is just amazing. It's like the whole world stops to stare.
I never want this moment to go. I just want to hold her in my arms forever.
The real question is, does she love me back?
