After Mockingjay

Hijacked. Again.

I can't just sit. I know well enough that I can't stand. Whatever they injected into me weakened me. That was so strange. The lady wanting to know where Gale was. Gale being there telling me that I was in the Capitol. The man telling me about his father. It was all so blurred I can't make sense of it.

"Katniss?" It's my mother.

"Mom!" I yell.

She enters.

"What's wrong?" She asks sitting down and stroking my hair.

I decide to not tell her about the whole 'capitol' thing.

"Where's Peeta?" I smile trying to act casual.

"I don't know."

"Can you try to find him? I want to talk to him."

"Ok, should I send him in here?"

"Thanks mom." I smile to her until she leaves.

I just wish I could tell her these things. She will just worry though. So I decide to sleep. Or try. I shut my eyes. I don't think I actually fall asleep. I just mull over the 'Capitol' thing.

***

Somebody sits on the bed. My eyes snap open. Peetas face causes me to relax.

"Where were you?" I say urgently.

"Baking at haymitchs"

He won't meet my eyes. I can tell he's lying.

"Peeta?"

His eyes stare deeply into mine. We sit here like this for awhile. He drops my gaze.

"I was in the woods." I can tell he's now telling the truth.

"Why?"

"I just needed to think, in peace."

He turns to me. His eyes are now burning. I can tell I'm in for it. This is hijacked Peeta again.

"No Peeta," I try to calm him.

"You- Katniss- just- GO!" He seems to be arguing with himself.

You see the only thing is that I can't go. I can't run. I could yell for my mom. But she wouldn't be strong enough to stop him. Haymitch. Oh my gosh Haymitch could help. Or Gale but I have already ruled him out. Peeta luges for me but I roll over in bed plummeting to the floor. A yelp of pain crosses my lips as I struggle to stand. He grabs me by my arms and lift me up from the ground like a rag doll. He pins me against the wall.

"You killed everyone." He hisses at me.

"No Peeta-" I begin.

"Be quiet you mutt," he punches my face.

The taste of blood fills my mouth. The door swings open and it's Gale and Haymitch. They immediately lunge for Peeta but he stops them.

"You hurt me I hurt her." He narrows his eyes.

I feel like I'm going to pass out. I see stars and the everlasting blood in my mouth is making it worse. Haymitch tries to grab Peeta but he dodges him and punches me again this time harder. I scream in agony. Gale is crying. This is the first time I've ever seen him cry. I get punched one more time. I know I'm a goner. Peeta releases his grip and I fall to the floor.

Then everything goes black.
