Katniss P.O.V

I turn around still in Peeta's arms. I got a bit uncomfortable so I tired to break free. Now I'm standing in front of Tris looking directly at her. When I look up at Four, I can see he is crying but who could blame him? I mean for all I know, he could have been forced to watch her playing the games and her dying in it too. If it were me watching Prim, then I would go completely crazy and never forgive myself if she died.

A game maker comes in ordering us to leave and get ready for the final interviews before we go back home.  'Home,' it has such a nice ring to it and i mouth the word. I don't want to leave but i can't stay here forever.

'C'mon Katniss, lets go. Leave Four be,' Peeta puts his hand on my shoulder and pulls it a little. I sigh but eventually i slowly  get up and leave with Peeta taking a last glance at Tris.There was a lot of walking to do. From the room we were just in, all the way back to the penthouse in the Tribute living quarters. In the end we both make it with Haymitch who was complementing us on how well we did about our while 'romance thing' but I didn't really pay attention.

'Finally!'

 I manage to burst out bringing a wide grin to both mine and Peeta's faces. I open the door slam it shut and drop myself on the bed thinking about what Gale and Prim might be doing. Not until now, I realize how exhausted I am so I close my eyes and fall into a very deep sleep. 

When i wake up, I notice that I'm naked only to be covered by a dressing gown. That was a  great sleep though. The best one I've ever had in years. No longer being in my room,my skin and body on the whole is and feels amazing, clean and clear. I can see that all my bruises, burns and cuts are gone. Even the ones i acquired before the games!

I try and sit up but my head instantly starts to spin. There's nothing else to do, so i just lie back down to fall asleep without success. 

So i just lay awake thinking what will happen to Tris and Four.What's Peeta doing? Was all his affection that he showed me in the arena real? Or just for the cameras? All of this is stressing me out so I try to clear my mind and just lay there staring at the blinding light.

Tris P.O.V

Where am I? I can hear people talking and the word 'dispose' and 'bodies' comes up an awful lot. Oh snap. I gotta get outta here now before I'm disposed. I stand up only to see trucks and a small ally way. It's my only option. So i run there being very cautious.  I end up being too exposed to the public to I just head back trying not to be seen.

'TRIS PRIOR!'

A voice shouts. As i turn around i can see a game-maker. 'please come with me,' Normally, I would attack him or anyone who gets in the way of my plans but not this time. I follow him passing a lot of things. Busy streets, Footage from the games, and there is this one room which makes me stop and walk. 

Its a TV screen with Katniss and Peeta on it. Oh thank God they're safe. I think the guy with the blue hair is interviewing them. I forgot his name though but it doesn't matter. He is asking a lot of questions but one really stands out to me.

'Katniss, why did you insist on taking the body of Tris back with you?'

'Because I made her a promise I still needed to fulfill. We both made a promise.' I can see that she is holding back tears so Peeta grips her hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze. This obviously makes the audience more intrigued. 

'What was the promise?'

'I made her a promise that I'd take her back to Four and I did. This makes me cry. Four has seen me? I need to see him now I feel so bad of what i have done but I had to. The person that was leading me comes back and grips my arms firmly. (It hurts). I don't know where he is leading me to but I juts follow without hesitation. In the end, I get thrown into a room. It's empty. I look back and the person it gone.
