"Peeta!!! Calm down it is okay!!!" I cry in fear. His tracker-jacker venom hasn't been fully flushed out of his system yet. The doctors say it could be at least 5 to 15 years before he is cleansed. "YOU ARE A MUTT KATNISS! A GOD DAMN MUTT!!!" He screams. I hate it when this happens. The Capitol ruined him. I regret not letting Snow's death be longer and more painful. But I don't think anything could ever compensate for the agony he brought to me, the people of Panem and most of all, Peeta. I press the button on the wristband given to me by the District authorities in case this happens. I've had it ever since the turning of last summer when I was found unconscious by Gale, with Peeta by my side, panicking thinking that he killed me. I had no way of contacting anyone. The button instantly contacts Gale and Dr. Aurelius. Whenever they respond to a 'turning', as we call it, they are armed with rifles, adapted with darts that knock him out.
2 minutes pass, and then the door bursts open. I see Gale pull the trigger. Suddenly, everything slows down. I see the dart fly through the air, spinning clockwise. It flies in front of me and hits Peeta in the neck. He roars and goes running towards Gale. But his legs give into the serum. I see his eyes relax and roll back before he collapses.
"You okay Catnip?" He asks.
"Yeah. I think so. I just feel bad for Peeta. It isn't his fault." I reply.
"I know, I know." He is clearly upset about this. Probably just for me though. I don't think he likes Peeta. I don't think he has since he declared his love for me before our first Hunger Games.
"I don't think he was going to physically attack me. He didn't seem like it. He wasn't twitching or flexing like he usually does." I say worrisomely.
"It isn't worth the risk. Are you sure you don't want to get checked at the hospital?"
"I'm fine. Could you help me put him to bed?" I ask.
"Sure, but I recommend that Dr. Aurelius stays with you when he wakes up."
"Of course."
Dr. Aurelius used to be my psychiatrist, but I told him to become Peeta's because I feel like I don't need him anymore. He agreed.
