Chapter Forty Five

PEETA'S POV

My eyes slowly open to the sound of whirling machines and soft murmurs. I look up and see the blurry image of Haymitch and Emily. "Peeta? You awake buddy?" Haymitch asks, patting my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm up." I mumble and Emily sighs. "Oh thank god." "She did a number on you Peeta." Haymitch says. I feel the deep bruises across my neck where it makes it hard to speak but I shake my head. "I'm fine, just a little woozy." I sit up and rub my eyes. "Where is she?" "Her old room in the hospital, strapped down in a bed pretty pissed off." I groan.

"Why did this happen?" "Because, Capitol rebels can't get the memo of it being a free damn country, they want complete power and they hijacked Katniss to help them with the cause." He pauses. "And that was a damn good idea." "Where's Willow?" Emily smiles. "She's with a nurse named Ryan, I can call Ryan to bring her down." I nod. "Please."

After a few moments a girl who is about fifteen holds Willow in her arms. Willows blue eyes light up when she sees me, in a grey dress like Ryan. "Dada!" She squeals and Ryan giggles. "She's been talking about you and Katniss sense she got here." She says and sets Willow in my arms and frowns.

"Well it looks like you won't be my little helper anymore, bye bye Willow." She says waving and I shake my head. "You can take her to help you whenever you want Ryan." She grins. "Thanks, in the scheme of things she's the light to my day." I nod. She looks a lot like Prim, just with green eyes. She clears her throat.

"And whenever Katniss figures things out, I want to talk to her about Prim... She was my best friend and I think there are some things she needs to know." I nod. "Absolutely." Then Ryan walks out. Holding Willow is therapy from what has been going on the past few weeks. She looks a lot better than what Katniss and I do, which is a relief. A little over fed possibly, her tummy round and plump, her face round like a dewdrop. "I missed you my little poppyseed."

She grins, leaving a wet kiss on my nose. This is the only good part of Katniss left it looks like, she has all of Katniss's beautiful traits, she'll look just like her mother when she's grown. After talking with Willow who babbles nonstop I finally look up at Haymitch as she nods off on my chest. "Any news on Katniss?" He shakes his head.

"President Paylor will be holding a meeting with her and Plutarch that we want you to watch." I nod and someone walks through the sliding door. I see Gale and Cressida. "You all need to come down immediately." I give Emily Willow who still sleeps and Haymitch helps me up and mumbles. "We need to get some good food in ya after." I nod, noticing the grumbling in my starved stomach.

We walk down the long hallway and get into the elevator where it brings us all the way down to the command room. We go into the room where there's a one way glass and I see Katniss, hair disheveled, dark bags under her red eyes, a smirk on her face as she sits at the dark metal table, handcuffed. President Paylor has sweat rolling down we dark skin and Plutarch raises his red eyebrows.

"Miss. Everdeen-" "I wish to be called Ms. Corex or just Katniss." She says flatly. "Katniss, do you remember anything sense you've woke up?" "Hell yeah I do! That crazy bastard killed my husband!" She yells and pangs go through my chest at this. Plutarch glares. "We aren't talking about that Katniss, do you remember being here before?"

"Yes." She says. "What happened?" Paylor asks softly. "You all took me hostage, told me if I didn't become the MockingJay you would kill Prim and you did anyways! You beat me and starved me until I broke!" "That is not true-" "Yes it is I remember! This is not how Panem should be! We need order and the power of the Capitol!" She looks down. "May President Snow rest in peace."
