You promised me

Chapter four

I stand up and stand next to the tv, touching her with my hand but I don't find her flesh, I find glass, not her warm soft skin. But cold rejection.

She sits in a chair, her brown hair lays on her shoulders, she wears a black jacket with white buttons. She wears black pants with black heels. She has heavy makeup on her.

"You alive.." I let out.

"So Katniss what happened that night in Quell?"

"Well Caesar there is one thing you have to.. understand.. about the games. You only get one wish. That night my wish was to save Peeta. But I wasn't thinking straight that night.. none of us were.. you get crazy a little while your in there.. I heard a cannon and I thought that Peeta had died.. so I shot the arrow hoping it would electrify me and kill me. But that didn't happen."

"What did you think? When you found out Peeta was a traitor? Against you?"

I feel eyes go to me. I gulp.

"Peeta.. well.. he never was against me. I know for a fact that he didn't know what was going on, because I didn't. None of us knew anything! I know he's just doing what he has to do to survive." She says wiping a tear. "We had no idea what was going on! So please stop asking me! I don't know anything!"

"I was going to have you talk about the careless acts of rebellion but you seem a little to worked up.."

"No I can do it." She says. She sits up in her chair. "I want everyone who's watching.. to lay down their weapons now.. do you know what a civil war could mean?"

"What?" People say behind me.

"Do we really want to do this? What would be left?"

"Traitor!"

"Are you asking for a ceasefire Miss. Everdeen?"

"Yeah.. I guess I am." She says looking straight into the camera.

"Traitor! Traitor!" People scream going into chaos. People start throwing things.

"What's wrong with you Mellark? How can you love her?!" Someone screams.

I place my hands on my ears and bend down to the floor. My head pounds, blocking out the noise.

I hear someone screaming, then I realize that the horrifying sound is coming from me. I feel hot tears coming down my face. My bracelet very noticeable on my wrist now. I can't stop screaming now. People walk around me, others stopping to stare or point.

Katniss..

Is..

Being called.

A traitor...

And it's my fault.

The sound comes from my throat, I can't stop screaming, I don't know why.

I see someone point right at my bracelet. I quickly try to hide it but it won't move making me scream more.

"Peeta!" My name echoes through my pounding head. I feel someone shaking me but I don't turn to them. I continue hugging my legs and sobbing.

"Peeta!"

A person comes and sits in front of me.

It's Prim and my nurse I think. I can't see quite well through the tears.

"Peeta can you hear me?" One of them asked but their voice is muffled.
