I wake up at 11:30, I am supposed to go at 12:30 to go for the mission with Peeta.
I wake up to see Prim knitting.
"Hi Katniss" Prim says
"Hey little duck" I say
"I know where you are going at 12:30, I'm glad you agreed to go" Prim said.
I walked over to Prim
"What? Why are you glad I chose to go on the mission?" I asked, I could tell Prim was hiding something from me.
"Katniss, can I tell you something?" She says quietly
"Of course Prim, you tell me anything." I say
She gets up and moves a little closer to me.
"It's Peeta who needs the medicine, during the bomb attack at home he got shot by the guard and now he thinks it's infected" Prim says
"Really?" I say
"Yeah, Peeta asked me not to tell you because he knows all you will do is worry about him and he doesn't want you worrying" Prim says
"Oh okay thanks Prim" I say and kiss her on the head.
I walk out of the room to see fresh breakfast at tables and I see Peeta's mother sitting there eating.
I went and sat down beside her.
"Is the food good?" I asked
"Oh Katniss it is perfection!" Mrs Mellark says
"Good!" I say and I look down at the table to see warm oatmeal and a bowl of fresh picked strawberries and blueberries.
"Hey Katniss I wanted to say thank you, thank you for getting my family out of there" Mrs Mellark says
"Of course, I mean you are family to me. You never leave family behind" I say back and eat some of the oatmeal and it tastes like heaven.
Mrs Mellark smiles and hugs me, I hug her back.
I continue to eat the oatmeal, and I feel someone sit beside me and put an arm around me
I look over and see it is Peeta.
I don't look at him and I continue to eat.
"Did you sleep well?" I asked Peeta
"Not really, I had a lot on my mind as you could tell from last night" Peeta says back
"Peeta are you okay honey?" Mrs Mellark says
"I'm fine mom, I'm lucky I have Katniss, if I didn't have her I would have collapsed last night" Peeta says.
I finish eating.
"Katniss you are a hero in so many ways, just like your father" Mrs Mellark says smiling at me.
Instead of her cheering me up, it kind of made me feel worst.
"Peeta could I talk to you for a minute when you get a chance" I say as I get up and walk over to the balcony and sit on the bench.
Peeta walks out to the balcony to meet me sitting on the bench looking out.
He sits besides me.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I say not looking at him.
"What?" Peeta said wondering what the hell I was talking about.
"Why didn't you tell me about your injury" I say as my voice gets hoarse.
"Katniss, I didn't want you worrying about me-" Peeta said but I cut him off
I feel neglected, I love Peeta.
"Well I would rather worry about you then not know. You shouldn't be scared to tell me." I say
"I was t scared to tell you-" he says but I cut him off
"Then why didn't you tell me?" I asked looking right at him.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, okay, there, the reason why I didn't tell you is because I love you and I didn't want you constantly worrying about me, I would want you worrying about yourself" Peeta says at me looking out over the balcony.
I can't, I don't know what to say. I don't know. I am lost on words and whenever I try to say something right now I seem to choke on my words. I'm not good at saying stuff.
I kiss Peeta.
"I'm sorry, please let me bandage it up" I say putting my hand on his face
"No Katniss, I am sorry. And fine" Peeta says.
I get up and walk to my room and Peeta follows me.
Prim and my mother are helping in the garden.
I walk in and then he walks in.
I grab bandages out of my bag and I also grab this cream that heals.
Peeta took his shirt off and showed me where it is.
I looked at it, it doesn't look infected but it seemed to go straight through his shoulder
"It doesn't look infected and it went straight through your shoulder" I say to Peeta.
"This might hurt a little" I say
I rub the cream on the bullet hole area, Peeta twitches in pain
"Sorry" I say gently
"No it's okay" Peeta says
I put the bandage overtop.
"There" I say and I smile at him
"Thanks" Peeta says and smiles back.
"We better get ready" I say
"Yeah you are right" Peeta says and pulls the hair out of my face
"Let me guess, you are going to put your hair in a braid" Peeta said
"Yep" I say laughing.
Peeta walks out and shuts the door behind him.
I hear a knock on the door so I answered it
"Yo Katniss here" Larreen says and hands me a pair of special clothes from Coin.
I nod and Larreen shuts the door. I lock the door, Coin gave my mother and prim and me keys to the room.
I change into the special clothes and brush my hair and put my hair in a braid.
I walk over to Coin's office just on time.
I see Peeta standing inside with a bunch of other people I don't know.
I walk into Coin's office and stand beside Peeta.
"And here is Katniss, perfect." Coin says writing things down on paper sitting at her desk while her silver platinum hair falls to her chest.
I look over to the other people and there are 3 guys and 3 girls.
1 of the girls are staring at me, it felt awkward but I just looked away and ignored her.
"Alright, Peeta and Katniss these are the people who are coming with you" Coin says.
I look at Peeta, Peeta looks back at me.
"This guy is Bogs, he is a great fighter" coin says pointing at a tall man with brown hair and black skin. Boggs waves at me.
"Now this here is Finnick, He is a doctor and a fighter" Coin says pointing over to a muscular normal sized person with blonde hair and brown eyes, he smirks at me.
"This here is Betee, he is the brains of the group" Coin says pointing over at a man who is bald and average sized height, he nods and I look away, but he continues to stare at me.
"These girls are the Wright sisters, Or if you want to call them Rainlu and Graffi, they may look beautiful but they can kick ass great" She says pointing over at 2 beautiful girls with caramel skin and black hair, and they are tall and muscular.
"They look like they can kick ass" Peeta says humorously, I laugh but no one else laughs.
"Alright Katniss and Peeta, we need 1 more girl to come with us, the choice is yours" Coin says standing up from her desk.
I look over at Peeta, I really want Larreen to come with us, I look into Peeta's brown eyes hoping he can read my mind.
"I want Larreen to come with us." I say plain and simple.
"Yeah whoever Katniss wants" Peeta says.
"Alright, easy done" Coin says.
Rainlu looks over at me and smiles.
"Larreen come to my office" she says into her Walkie Talkie.
About 5 minutes later Larreen comes to Coin's office all in uniform.
"Okay now remember there are bombs planted all underground and secret traps planted in the ground, so be stealthy and I have this-" Coin says pulling out a machine
"Now I taught Boggs how to use it already and it is set in his name, Also remember everyone that the mission again is just to get 25 bottles of this special medicine and steal the guns" Coin continued.
I nod and everyone else nods as well.
"Alright off you go, just follow Boggs and Betee, they know where you are going" Coin says tucking a piece of silver hair behind her ear.
The group head out and I walk between Peeta and Larreen.
We walk out into the Forrest, At the front bogs is holding the bomb and trap fracker and beside him Betee was walking, then infront of us Finnick and the Wright sisters walked together, Finnick was telling jokes and the wright sisters start to laugh, Finnick is such a flirt I am kinda glad I have a thing with Peeta.
"I don't trust them" I say quietly to Larreen and Peeta.
"You don't really trust anyone Katniss" Peeta says and smiles.
"I guess you are true" I say smiling back.
"I knew there was a thing between you guys" Larreen says and looks at me and Peeta.
I don't answer, I can't speak right now my words are all tangled up.
Peeta blushes
"I mean, well I have known him forever" I choke
"Yeah and the whole time you have known him you have loved him, I can see all over your faces" Larreen says and smirks.
I look over at Peeta and his blonde hair blows in the wind and I smile at him, he looks back at me and he smiles as well but trying to hide his rosey red cheeks.
I shook my head and continued to walks.
"WHOA, STOP WALKING" Betee yelled and I stopped walking.
"What the hell is the matter Betee" Rainlu says as if he just walked in on Finnick and Rainlu's conversation.
"Trap in the ground, we need to take another way to the camp" Betee says
"How can you tell?" Peeta asks
"I can tell it was just barried up about 5 months ago" Betee says.
I look over at Peeta and he looks as blank as I do right now.
We continue to walk another direction.
"Now we need to walk in the direction of District 12 so keep an eye out for Capitol guards" Boggs says.
My heart stops for a minute, I feel like I just got the wind knocked out of me, I am flashing through memories of all the smokey fire and children screams and I started to think about how I could help all of those families.
I stop walking
They continue to walks but Peeta walks back to me.
"Katniss-" Peeta says and pulls hair out of my face
"I'm not going to let you get hurt, not again, you have been through way too much" Peeta continued to say.
I just gulped holding back the tears and I hug Peeta.
The warmth of Peeta's body warms me up as if I grabbed a blanket.
I let go of Peeta and look over at the group who stopped walking and they were all staring at us.
Finnick just smirks (as he always does), Betee looks frustrated, Larreen looks like she is about to laugh, Boggs didn't turn around to look and the Wright sisters looked like they just saw a fluffy bunny and it came and slapped them in the face, they were so cuted out.
"Let's continue walking" Betee says and I nod.
Peeta grabs my hand to comfort me.
We continue to walk but we trail behind a little bit.
"Peeta, if anything goes wrong in this mission me and you stick together" I say as we walk with each other holding hands.
"Yeah agreed, Finnick seems cocky and a big lady man" Peeta says to me
"Of course he is, I mean look at him with the Wright sisters" I say back.
"And Betee seems really brilliant" Peeta says as if he just got punched in the face.
"He seems like a control freak to me" I say
"Boggs seems caring and normal" Peeta says.
"Yeah I think for the first time in my life I think a person is trustworthy, he is trustworthy" I say
"Wright sisters can probably manipulate, so beware of that" Peeta says
I nod.
"Larreen can kick ass, but I hate how she keeps saying stuff about us in love, it's awkward" Peeta says
"You can say that again" I say to him smiling
"I mean, I really like you I do" Peeta says convincing
Peeta, you don't know it but I love you.
I just nod, I can't say anything or else it will come across him wrong or it will sound stupid.
