          Years after the rebellion, I finally start seeing Peeta for what he really is. A mutt. Deadly. Evil. He doesn't love me at all. It's just an act, and I hate him for it.

        "Katniss, I don't see what's so scary about me," Peeta cries into the night.

        "You don't?! What about all the years you've treated me like dirt! You promised to stay! I loved you, how could you put me through that?!" I scream at him with tears streaming down my face.

         "I've always been in love with you, Katniss. And I'll always be in love with you!" 

        "Then stop acting like a mutt!" I awake everyone in their houses.

        "Katniss?" His voice becomes weaker as I speak.
  
        I look at him, as I see my boy with the bread's heart be crushed into tiny pieces. Why did I say that?

       "What's wrong with you?" He whispers.
  
        I take a deep breath and I cry harder, "I just feel so alone right now, and I don't know if you care or not.."
 
        He steps towards me and touches the end of my braid.  I look into his beautiful, sky blue eyes. He wipes away my tears and lightly kisses my nose.

       "I do care. I care about a lot of things, actually," He grabs my hand and pulls me back home.

        I can't do this. I miss the old Peeta. And the old Katniss. I called my husband a mutt, when it should've been myself. I'm the mutt.

                   I'm deadly.
