The True Mockingjay

Chapter 24

Then his grin disappeared and it turned into something monsters. He then went for me. He had his hands around my neck and he was trying to strangle me.

I looked right into his eyes. They were dark. I was not looking into the same eyes I did in the games. Then everything was going dark. All I heard was a smash.

*Gale's POV*

I ran into the room when Peeta put his hands on Katniss. All I saw was red. Boggs then grabbed the mental tray from the table and hit Peeta across the head with it. Peeta let go of Katniss. He fell to the ground.

I got over there right in time to catch Katniss when he let go of her. I picked her up bridal style and took her out of the room.

"Gale, what happened?" Prim asked running up to me. They must have heard all the noise and everything.

"Peeta tried to strangle Katniss." I told her. I was not going to lie or sugar coat it.

"Put her down here. Let me look at her. You two go in there and I will be in soon." Prim said. Two guys walked pasted me into the room.

Then Prim started to look over her sister. She called over a few people and she told me to wait by Haymitch and Plutarch.

I walked over to them. Haymitch looked right at me and asked,

"Is she okay?"

"What I know for now. Yes." I told him.

Then we president Coin come into the infirmary. She came right up to us.

"What happened?" She asked looking at Plutarch and Haymitch. Right behind her was Effie.

"Is she alright." Effie asked us worried.

"What happened? Where is Peeta?" Coin asked us.

I looked at her. She got to be kidding me. She is not even worried about Katniss. I then said,

"Peeta attacked Katniss for no reason. He almost killed her. Boggs hit him on the back of his head with a mental tray. They moved him somewhere he couldn't hurt anyone. Mostly Katniss. By the way she is out cold right now. Because he was strangling her. But she should be fine."

She looked at me token back. But you know what. I don't care. All I care about is Katniss.

"Good to hear that she is okay. Does anyone know why Peeta attacked her?" She asked looking at Plutarch.

"Tracker Jacker venom." We heard behind us. We turned around to see Prim standing there.

"What?" President Coin asked.

"They were torturing him with Tracker Jacker venom. They must have changed his thoughts about Katniss." She told us.

"Okay. Then we have to help him." She told us.

"Also Gale and Haymitch. Katniss is room two. She is still out. But you guys can go in there and wait. Boggs, you can too. I will go check on her again later." Prim told us ignoring President Coin.

"Okay. Thanks Prim." I said giving her a small kiss on the head. Then Haymitch, Boggs, and I went to Katniss' room.
