Katniss and Peeta-After The War

Chapter 4

"Peeta!! Get off of him!" I shout towards him. Peeta is laying on top of Haymitch, partially blocking off his air.

With a gasp, Peeta yells, "YOU!! YOURE A MUTT!! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY! THE CAPITOL MADE YOU!!!"

"Peeta, stop!" I shout as he runs toward Petunia. He lifts her off the ground and says,

"Who's this? Is she a mutt too!"

"Mommy!! Help!!!" Petunia cries.

"PEETA PUT HER DOWN!!! SHES YOUR DAUGHTER!! OUR DAUGHTER!!" I scream at him, tears spilling from my eyes.

"Oh I see. You care about her? She's your family?" He says smirking evilly.

"Yes. And yours too! You love her! Peeta snap out of it!"

"I would never love the offspring of such a MUTT as you!!" He says, dropping Petunia to the ground harshly. I immediately drop to her side and cry over her.

"Mommy?" She whispers weakly.

"I'm here, Baby. It's alright. You'll be alright. I promise."

"You promise?" She whispers.

I kiss her forehead gently and whisper, "I would never let something horrible happen to you"

Suddenly, Peeta drops to the floor. Crying.

"Katniss, they're getting worse. I can't control it! I don't know what to do!"

"Peeta, there has to be a reason for it. But look what you've done to our little flower!"

"I..I did that?"

I nod and scoop Petunia off of the floor. I carry her to the hospital, Haymitch and Peeta following behind.

"Sweetheart, she'll be fine," Haymitch says.

Seeing as I am pregnant, I am extremely emotional, so I begin to cry.

"But what if she's not? What if she's hurt beyond repair? I know she's probably scarred beyond that. Mentally."

"Honey, I'm sorry-" Peeta starts.

"I don't need your apologies! You could've killed her!" I snap at him, harshly.

"Katniss, I.." He starts but doesn't finish.

We arrive at the hospital and I go to the front desk. They see my daughter in my hands and immediately look worried.

"Peeta had a flashback. He threw her to the ground and she hit her head. We need help," I start, "now," I finish, slamming down on the counter.

The lady at the desk says, "I will call for a doctor immediately"

Peeta walks up and whispers, "Can you call two of them? I'm worried about myself"

"Will do Mr. Mellark" she says.

"Mellark?" A nurse calls. We all follow her.

"I'm sorry Mr. Abernathy, but you have to stay out here," she says.

"Oh ok," Haymitch says.

"Mr. and Mrs. Mellark, please follow me," she says.

She leads us down a winding hall, and points to a room.

"Mr. Mellark, a doctor will see you in there," she points to another one, "And a doctor will see your daughter in there"

"Thank you," I say to the nurse, carrying Petunia to the room.

We wait a little while for a doctor to walk in.

"Hello Mrs. Mellark. What can I help you with?" He asks when he comes inside.
