Chapter Forty Eight
Caspian and Annie come over to help me out with the kids because of my broken ribs. Caspian helps me down the stairs while Peeta is at work and I hiss as his tan muscular arm wraps to tightly around me.
"Sorry Katniss. We are almost down the stairs." When I do make it down I see Plutarch HeavensBee sitting comfortably on the couch as Willow and Kaden play with Squirt and ButterCup. "Oh you've got to be kidding me." I say and try walking out the back door but see two big men in black standing in front of it. I bare my teeth.
"Get the hell out of my way." "Take a seat Mrs. Mellark." One man says and I look up with a angry glare. "Or what? Are you going to put me in timeout? This is my house and my rules." "I said take a seat Mrs. Mellark." The man says grabbing my arm.
I feel Caspian pull me away. "Come on Katniss just sit down, please." I sigh and sit down on the couch and Plutarch smiles. "I see that we are still cranky." "Go to hell Plutarch if you are trying to get me to help you with something that includes the Capitol and me leaving, you better just leave now." He looks at his body guards who are chuckling and then looks back to me.
"If you listen please I'll be out of your hair." I look at the clock on the wall. "You have three minutes." "Knowing that the man who almost killed you was Cato this means we have a lot of problems." "Why?" "Because this means that they have a way of bringing people back from the dead... And hijacking them much better than they did Peeta."
"And what do you want me to do Plutarch?" "We need you Katniss to come back to the Capitol and become the MockingJay again and stop what they are doing." "Mommy can't go!" Willow protests.
"Child, this is adult business and we are discussing it." "But she just remembered us and she's hurt! Look at all those bruises on her face and the black eye!" "Enough child." He barks and she stands and glares.
"My mommy isn't going anywhere, my mommy doesn't like people like you because you're a meanie!" "It's your mothers decision on rather she will go. Katniss we need you." I look at Willow and Kaden who are standing next to Caspian and Annie. I swallow my raw throat.
"Plutarch... I won't do it." "Katniss you are the key to saving the Capitol-" "Plutarch I don't think you remember that I'm a mother that's twenty nine years old, with PTSD, and a husband who needs me and if I die, he wouldn't have anything else." I stand with a grimace and Plutarch looks up at me.
"So it looks like you'll have to find another MockingJay." Peeta walks in with my pain medications, gauze wrapping for my ribs, and three new pillows with some flour still on his face from working. "Katniss? What's going on?" He sees the grimace on my face and instantly runs over toe and wraps a arm around my waist.
"Nothing, they were just leaving." I say as the men in black stare still at their posts. "Peeta-" I cut Plutarch off. "Get the hell out of my house or I will make sure none of you leave it." I hiss and Plutarch gives me a annoyed smile. "Gentlemen, move out." As the men in black leave the house Plutarch sighs.
"I wish that the old Katniss was still there... No fire left." And with that he leaves as my children hold onto me for dear life and I promise one thing.... I'm never leaving again.
