Prisoner of the Capitol

Chapter 12

Katniss's POV

Arms wrap around me and lift me off the ground, I end up on the shoulder of one of the guards.

"NOOOOO!! MY HUSBAND IS BACK THERE, I HAVE TO FIND HIM! PUT ME DOWN!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I start to feel sick from worrying and all the screaming. I throw up all down the guard's back and he drops me in disgust. I throw up again, this time on his boots and he kicks me hard in the gut. I cry out in pain and curl up in a ball, my arms around my stomach.

"PEETA!" I yell out to him and then another wave of nausea comes over me and I throw up all over myself.

"Shut up!" The guard says forcefully and kicks me in the back of the head, I black out from the pain.

Lara's POV

"Dram, let go of me!" I say, struggling to remove myself from his firm grip. "I have to find Gale, we can't leave without him!"

"Lara, that man has brought you a lot more trouble than you deserve." My brother tells me.

"How can you say that? If it weren't for Gale then Hunter wouldn't even be here right now!"

"I know sis, but, if it weren't for him, you also wouldn't be here right now!" He yells at me. I kick him with all the force I can manage and he ends up dropping me. He keeps hold of Hunter though and he runs off with him, leaving me on the ground. I can hear Hunter crying out for me and Gale, but, I don't run after him. Even though he just left me here and took Hunter, I know Dram would never do anything to hurt him. I run back in the direction we came from and head towards the destroyed airships. I hear coughing from in the flames, I run in and grab the person. When we get out, I realise that the person I've saved is Peeta Mellark not my husband, which makes me feel sick with worry.

"Where's Gale?" I ask frantically.

"I-don't-know." He says coughing.

"GALE!" I yell and run back into the flames. I see my husband's burning body, his skin is smouldering. I scream, I am so numb with sadness that I don't feel the flames moving up my arms. I look down and see the skin burning on my arms and I feel the pain, I scream and run out of the fire as fast as I can.

"HELP!" I scream at Peeta as I tear off my T-shirt and whack it at my arms. He pulls off his jacket and starts trying to extinguish my body. Once all the flames are gone, I look at my arms which are extremely burnt. I take deep breaths to try and get through the pain.

"We need to get you to a doctor!" Peeta says scooping me up in his arms. He starts running in the direction that the guards took Katniss. We get to a bunch of trees, a man steps out from behind one of the trees and whacks Peeta across the head. He falls to the ground unconscious and drops me. I scream as dirt covers my burnt flesh.

"I am so sorry! I thought he was one of them." The man says, then he takes a closer look at Peeta. "Is this Peeta Mellark?"

"How do you know him?" I ask him.

"Katniss. Where is she?" He replies.

"The guards took her."

"We have to rescue her." He says.

"I need a doctor! My arms!" I scream at him.

"Oh, right. Can you walk? I'm going to have to carry him." He says pointing at Peeta's unconscious body.

"Yeah, I can walk. It's my arms that are burnt and covered in dirt." I say bitterly.

"I'm sorry for making you fall in the dirt, ah, what's your name?"

"Lara Hawthorne. Who are you?"

"My name is Cinna."
