Peeta's POV
I don't even have to look over to Katniss to know what's happening to her.
The fear.
The pain.
The anxiety.
Clarissa has... amnesia?
She couldn't have hit her head that hard, could she have?
I stare at the nursing room walls. White...always have been white and always will be white. White reminds me of Snow, President Snow. I feel i am starting to shiver.
"Doctor, will she still have to go into the games not remembering anything?" I ask.
"I'm afraid so. Clarissa can not be replaced at this stage," the doctor chokes out.
He leads us into a white room.
I see Clarissa. She's looking around in bewilderment.
Katniss walks over to her with tears in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Clarissa asks defensively.
"K-k-katniss Everdeen," Katniss stammers and pats Clarissa's head.
She looks at the doctor.
"Will she be able to recover?" Katniss asks.
"Maybe. You will need to help her," he says with a hint of doubt in his voice,''You will need to help her by reminding her of things. Maybe one day she will actually remember.''
Katniss turns to Clarissa,''What do you remember?''
''My name is Clarissa Snow. I am Panem's President's daughter,'' she says formally.
''This is not good,'' Katniss paces around the tiny room,''That's all she can remember.''
''Calm down, Katniss,'' I say.
Katniss begins to cry and wails,''This is my fault, my fault... all MY FAULT. I'm so sorry Serena. I'm SORRY!''
Katniss begins to make these weird noises that i can't place. Soon later a nurse comes and shoots something into Katniss' arm and she goes slowly to sleep.
''Is she going to be alright?'' i ask the doctor.
''Katniss? Yes. Clarissa? It depends on how much you help her,'' the doctors says wiping the sweat on his head with his arm.
Is he scared of us? I don't bite. Not regularly, anyways.
Suddenly, the doctors eyes light up,''Peeta, Clarissa getting amnesia could be a good weapon in the games.''
That is true. We could tell her all her strengths, but not her weaknesses.
''But, doesn't fear help you be stronger?'' I ask looking at Katniss who is still lying on the floor.
The doctor nods,''Tell her some of her fears, not all.''
A nurse comes out and tells the doctor,''Dr. Garter, you have another patient waiting for you.''
''Take good care of Clarissa and Katniss, alright?'' the doctor sighs as he follows the nurse out of the room.
I nod.
A little girl about 8 years old with short blond hair walks over and looks down at Katniss, then up at me.
''Is that Katniss Everdeen?'' the girl asks.
''Yeah, the one and only,'' I say nodding.
''Is she dead?'' she asks referring to how she's lying on the floor.
I shake my head,''Nope, just sleeping. What's your name?''
''Hi, my name is Trissy. I live in district 1. My mother is not well,'' she looks in the direction that she came from.
''Oh, I'm sorry. Is there anything i can do to help?'' I ask.
She tucks a blond strand of hair behind her ear,''No, that's alright. You've got a lot on your hands right now.''
She eyes Katniss and Clarissa.
I nod,''You seem to be a bright girl.''
She smiles sweetly,''Thank you.''
All of a sudden, I hear a ghostly voice,''Trissy... sweetie... mom needs you.''
I look at Trissy.
The poor girl's eyes are filled with tears as she trots back to whom i expect is her mother.
She stops suddenly and turns her head to my direction,''Peeta, i knew Clarissa... she's not nearly as bad as her grandfather. Promise me you'll help her in everyway you can?''
I can see the hope in her eyes. She really did know Clarissa.
''I promise,'' I say quietly as Trissy walks away, smiling.
Maybe, just maybe... we could turn, Clarissa's roadblock into a victory.
