I wake up and this has been the most sleep I've had since I've been here. Four was still asleep,I kiss his cheek as I sneak out and quickly dressed while he was still asleep. I braid my hair as I slip out the door. As I saw Christina, she was still sore and a bruise was starting to show on her cheek.

"Hey."I said

"Hi."she groans

"Today's Visiting Day."said Will

"I can see Prim."I said

"Yup."he says

After breakfast,we all come down to the Pit floor,as Eric gives the speech on not to get too close. But I think I lost all sense when I saw Prim.

"Katniss!"she smiles

Mom looked alive again,I hug them both.

"I missed you guys."I said

"We missed you too."Prim says

"How's Buttercup?"I ask her

"He's fine."she says

Four strides over.

"Katniss is this your family?"he asks me

"And one more!"hollers a familiar voice

I see Beatrice,I hug her as she whispers in my ear.

"You need to visit Caleb."

I whisper back "Okay".

"Yes Four,this is my family,my mother Mary and my sister Prim and my cousin Beatrice."I said

Prim looks up at Four and then me. She smiles,and I think she knows. Four looks at Prim.

"How old are you,Prim?"he asks him

"I'm twelve."she says

Christina walks over.

"This must be Prim,your sister never shuts up about you."laughs Christina

"That's a good thing."Prim says hugging me

"Love you,too Little Duck."I smiled

Mom stood silent.

"Well I have to go Katniss."says Beatrice

"Okay bye."I said

She hugs me and leaves. As Prim met Peeta,Al,Will and Clove and Cato.

I always thought that she was stronger than I am,but tears went down her cheeks as she choked out the words good-bye,I kiss her head as she leaves.

"I see why you didn't mean to leave."Four says

"Since my father passed away,I want to pretend that everything will be okay but really I'm just lying. I practically raised Prim."I said lowly to the extent he can hear

Four's POV

I have only lost my mother physically and my father mentally. I was a stranger in my own home,I left Abnegation for a good reason,I wasn't wanted.

But then there's Katniss,she's not Divergent nor is she a Stiff. She's an Angel in disguise,an Angel with a shotgun that is sharp and deadly.

That's why I love her,she gets up after being beaten and fights again,Eric I can already tell is threatened by her. It scared me when I woke up alone this morning because my fifth fear if I had one would be of losing her.

She has a family that looks broken but it's stronger than ever,because she's the one holding them together.

Katniss left to be with her friends,some other initiates and a few Dauntless borns that I knew as Clove and Cato and Uriah. They don't know the her that I know,the Katniss that could tell the world to stop spinning and that it would. I have never met another human being so strong.

I went to the control room it's about ten o'clock at night,as I was about to turn everything off,I hear Katniss scream. I run out the room as I go to the Pit floor-Peter,Drew and Al are about to swing Katniss into the Chasm. Her right cheek scratched,as she was about to pass out.

The three boys were afraid of me,Peter dropped Katniss on the ground as him and Al ran like cowards. I beat up Drew-taking him to the infirmary and taking Katniss to my room. She was still awake.

"Don't sleep on the floor."she mumbles

She curled up next to me,I was still nervous about this. Due to my past and my experience with feelings.

She fell asleep quickly,she looked so beautiful while she slept,it hurt me that she cared about someone like me. But it proved she hadn't let the corruption of Dauntless get to her.

As I fell asleep to the sound of her heartbeat.
