How Will This Work Out? (a HG fanfic)

Chapter 5

 I looked up at Peeta again. "Peeta?"

He said, "I'm sorry, Katniss." He shoved me against the wall and knocked me unconsious.

I woke up in an abandoned factory, strapped tight to a chair. 

Mayne, Peeta, and a bunch of other people who I didn't recognize stood circling me. One of the guys held a bright-as-hell flashlight to my face, blinding me.

"Turn that shit off, Garth." Mayne shouted, echoing the building. The guy, Garth, shut off the flashlight. Enough light to see dimmed the room eeriely.

Scared, I looked over at Peeta, leaning arms-crossed-over-chest on a wall. He looked awful in the dimness.

"What the fuck do you want from me?" I said.

Mayne laughed; which sounded like a cough. "Oh, you stupid girl. Don't you know?"

"About what?"

"Peeta and I. Our wedding is tomorrow., We brought you here to invite you.....if you want to come." Mayne's smile was as cheesy as a dumbass clown.

"Then why do you have me strapped to a chair?" 

"Because we wanted to make sure you didn't do anything.....suspicious."

Peeta, casually walking over, said, "Katniss..."

"I'll answer your question if you get these goddamn ropes off me."

Mayne sneered. "Go ahead, guys."

The two boys standing behind me sliced off the ropes; I rubbed my wrists' ropeburn.

"Now.....do you want to come, Miss Everdeen?"

I thought for a moment. Peeta seemed to have an idea. He itched his sleeve mysteriously, slowly pulling out a knife. No one saw him, however, because he stood behind his "wife".

"Wedding's over, Mayne." he said, piercing the knife into her back. Mayne yelped, collapsing onto the concrete. Peeta yanked me out of the chair, pulling me behind him. "If any of you come near me or Katniss, I'll cut your fucking dicks off."

OMFG. I didn't know Peeta meant that or not. I assumed because his voice sounded deep and protective.

One guy, Chancler, charged forward. Peeta sliced downwards, cutting a gigantic wound in his thigh.

"Let's go, Katniss. I think we're done here."

Peeta and I left, without anyone coming after us.
