The Hunger Games - Solitude.

Chapter 2

"Shhhh" I hush Peeta, as he slowly awakens in our luxury white bed.

"What happened? Did I turn again?" he says.

"Yes, you did Peeta. It is okay, you didn't hurt anyone."

"Good. I am so sorry anyway Katniss. I know how much it upsets you."

"You can't help it. It isn't your fault." I say.

"Katniss" Peeta says. "Katniss" He rapidly follows up.

"Yes Peeta?"

"I love you"

He has said this before. But when it is so soon after what just happened... I don't know what I feel. I know he loves me, but this means so much more when he was so aggressive. I love him too. But I am also angry at him. I forgive him. I feel sorry for him. But I am angry. I shouldn't be though, shouldn't I?

"I love you too, Peeta." I say softly. "I love you. Even when I fear you, when you turn, I love you. Even if you go so far as to try to kill me, like during the revolution, I love you. Remember that."

He says nothing. He just looks down sadly, almost in tears. 

"I can't help it Katniss. I just turn, I see red, I just feel hatred. I just want to fucking kill you but at the back of my head, I remember everything, and I know that the Capitol did it, that Snow did it, but it is all clouded." He's sobbing. I want him to calm down, but I need to know how he feels. I need to be a good fiancé. "I then start to think that you brainwashed me. I think that it was you, not Snow. I remember things like you coming to try and kill me, and you growing claws and large teeth and trying to kill others. And I see you killing my family. I know that this isn't true but... I can't help it Katniss."

"I know you can't. I know. If I could stop all of this, I would. In a heartbeat. I would give my life, for you to not have to suffer this." I am so worried for him. I feel so sorry.

"Would you though, Katniss? How do I know that anything that you say to me is true? How do I know which memories are true, and which memories are false, hmm? HMM?" He's suddenly turned aggressive. What is happening? Is he turning?"

"Peeta calm down! I understand that everything is cloudy. I understand. Do you want Dr. Aurelius? He is right here, honey. He is right here if you need to talk to him, if you want him to give you anything."

"FUCK DR. AURELIUS. HE IS USELESS! YOU ARE USELESS! HE WAS IN ON IT! HE HELPED MAKE ME THIS MESS!"

Dr. Aurelius rushes to quiet him down, and he tries giving him the serum. But Peeta smacks him in the face, knocking him to the ground. That is when I panic properly. 

"Peeta calm down. What did you say about Dr. Aurelius? That he -"

"HAVE YOU GOT WAX IN YOUR EARS? I SAID HE MADE ME THIS MESS!!!"

Gale bursts back through the door. He obviously heard the commotion. This triggers Peeta. 

"AND YOU GALE! YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ME DEAD SINCE THE FIRST GAMES, DIDN'T YOU? WELL KILL ME! KILL ME BITCH! DO IT!"

This is when Gale talks. And it doesn't go well.
