Through Thick & Thin (Everlark Fanfiction)

Chapter: 1

Katniss's POV:

"Peeta?" I call into the vast darkness of the room.

"Yeah it's me, what's the matter?" He replied.

"Oh nothing I just wanted to make sure that you hadn't left me." my eyes now adjusting to the darkness in the room.

"Katniss I would never think of leaving you, Don't ever think that again." He said honestly. He came closer to me and pulled me in. We break apart when there was a knock at the door.

"Who could that be? It's two o'clock in the morning!" Peeta said sounding worried. We made our way down stairs and opened the door to find Johanna standing there shivering in the early morning breeze.

"Come in Johanna, you must be freezing out there!" I say. She comes in and takes her thin jacket off and goes and sits by the fire place.

Peeta goes to the kitchen to make us hot chocolates. He comes back after a while with three steaming hot chocolates and some freshly baked biscuits.

"So what you doing in district twelve Johanna?" I ask curiously.

"Oh I was coming to tell you...that um, Well District three designed a machine that can bring people that were injured or killed in the rebellion back to life". She said,

"Finnick is alive and living back in district four with Annie and Percy". She said happily.

"What about Coin or Snow? What happens to them?" Peeta asked curiously. "They were voted that they would not be brought back to life". She explained. A sudden thought popped in my head.

"What about prim? Will they be able to bring her back to life?" I say.

"I'm so sorry Katniss but they could not find all of the pieces of her body. They really did try though."

A sharp sensation hit me in my chest, like someone stabbing me with a pitch fork. Before I know it I'm sobbing into the collar of Peeta's shirt.

"Katniss it's okay, it's okay." He says soothingly while stroking my hair.

Peeta's POV:

After Johanna left, I carried Katniss upstairs and laid her down on our bed. She is still sobbing so I put my arms around her and kissed her.

She must of stopped crying because now she has her arms warped around my neck and is pulling me closer to her body.

After a long time Katniss finally speaks. "Peeta I'm so sorry about before, it's just that I-"

"that you are still really upset with the whole rebellion and all that. I know what you were going to say, it was never your fault that it had happened. It was Snow's fault for making the games in the first place." I said to her.

The whole mentioning of the rebellion and Snow makes me shiver.

"How about this; we can go and see Finnick, Annie and their son Percy tomorrow! Do you want to do that?" I ask.

"Sure I would love to see Finnick and Annie and meet baby Percy!" She says.
