I stepped into the victors village softly, a hood over my head. I looked at the houses. I knew the two closest belonged to Katniss and Peeta. Which one should I talk to first? After a bit of thought, I decided that it was a better choice to talk to Katniss first. It turned out my choice was already made for me as when I knocked on Katniss's door, Peeta answered it. He had his eyes closed and was rubbing his temples.
"May. For the last time, Jake sacrifice himself for you because you mean a lot to him. I-" he opened his eyes and his mouth fell open.
"K-Katniss! Come quick!" Katniss came running to the front door. Her eyes widened when she saw me.
"J-Jake? You're... YOU'RE ALIVE!" She said, her face lighting up. Her face suddenly filled with horror.
"What happened to you!?" I shuddered. She had noticed. I looked ragged. Deep cuts lined my face. I was bleeding from one of my eyes too. It wasn't blinding, but it hurt.
"It..."
"Wait, come inside and I'll fix you up"
I stepped inside and they led me to the kitchen. Peeta stitched my wounds. I winced in pain.
"Alright, I'm going to use some water to irrigate your eyes of the blood." I nodded. I tilted my head backwards. He dripped a few drops of water into my eye. I blinked a few times, then wiped my eye with my sleeve."Now, tell us everything"
