Chapter 13: Visitor

Chapter 13

Finnick's P.O.V.

Cato has given up completely. Peeta... I don't know about him. He's crying right now, but I don't think he has given up. I think he's the strongest one of us. He has taken most of the beatings because he's protested when they have beaten us.

I don't think Peeta believes he's the strongest one of us, but when or if we get home again, I'm going to tell Katniss that we're alive only because of Peeta. How strong he is and how she should be so proud of him.

Home. Oh I want to come home so badly. To my beloved Annie and to Fisher. I need my family.

Suddenly the door opens up. Again. Not now please...

"Please don't", I say, knowing they're targeting Peeta first, like they always do.

"Tell us where your team is in hiding!" A rough man says in a very dark voice.

"Never!" Peeta shouts frustrated.

Oh god no. Why did he say that? He knows what happens if we say something like that. But on the other hand it would have happened anyways.

I see how they take up the one thing that is the most horrible.

"Don't!" I yell, feeling the panic start to raise inside of my weak body, I start to resist against the ropes. But no luck.

They just continues with what they're doing and hooks the metal things on Peeta's skin. Not caring about what I yelled. Not even glancing at me one single time. It's like they're planning on killing Peeta this time.

I look at Peeta. He has stopped crying, but he has his eyes closed.

"Don't!" Marvel screams.

But they turn it on.

Peeta's entire body starts to shake so violently on the chair. He's being hold down by one of the men and the ropes.

"AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH", he roars with what seems to be the last of his powers.

Oh god. This time he's going to die.

They stop it. Peeta breaths heavily. They turn it on again. This time it looks like Peeta is giving up.

Peeta falls down onto the floor. He's body is shaking on the floor but it's becoming more still by the second and soon his body becomes pretty much lifeless.

"PEETA!" We shout. "NOOO!"

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I yell, as they start to poke him with their feet.

The door burst open again but now I don't get scared. Our team has come to save us. They tracked us down and saves us right now. I look at the faces of our friends as they shoot our torturers.

"Oh my god!" Marvel shouts when they start to untie us from the chairs.

I sprint off my chair and throw myself beside Peeta's lifeless body.

"Peeta! Peeta wake up please, we're saved!" I shout and shake him. "Don't give up now, you've hold on for so long, don't give up now when we're saved".

But then I hear a thud. I turn around to see Marvel's and Cato's bodies on the floor. Now they did give up. That's why their bodies can't keep them up anymore.

"Just... Please take us out of here", I say feeling my own body starting to give in.

I feel how I'm laid down on my back.

My eyes closes and last thing that's on my mind is hoping Peeta won't die.

Katniss P.O.V.

Glimmer has been home with the baby for three weeks now. She had to stay at the hospital for a week because she went into a slight depression for having the baby without Marvel here.
