Hijacked

Chapter Forty Six

Chapter Forty Six

PEETA'S POV

I sit in command with Gale, Paylor, Plutarch, Cressida, Pollux, Haymitch, and the last person to burst through the door is non other than Johanna Mason. She plops down in a chair next to me. "So, enlighten me on what's happening to brainless." She huffs and Beetee clears his throat, wheeling over to the board where it shows the analysis of Katniss's hijacking and where it shows her photo from when she was first here. I look away from it, that's when she didn't have me and you can literally see how broken she is. "Katniss Mellark has been severely hijacked." He pulls up my photo and my analysis from when I got here, where I see a person that looks nothing like me, I'm unrecognizable. "Much worse than what Mr. Mellark went through." "We have seem to have found a trigger which is obviously Peeta and Hugo Corex." He pulls up Prim's

photo and her file. "The deceased Primrose Everdeen who went into the line of fire for Panem, May she rest in peace... Has seem to diminish the hijacking when the subject of her is brought up to Katniss." Johanna raises a eyebrow. "Does she remember anything?" "The memories of the games have been morphed into something sinister connected with District Thirteen, like we put her in the games and forced her to be the MockingJay." "Does she remember me? Or Willow? Or Peeta?" "To an extent she remembers Peeta but it's also morphed horribly and him killing Hugo didn't help, she does not remember anything about having Willow or even being with Peeta... I don't know about you Johanna." She stands. "Alright, let me go in there and talk to her." "Wait!" I say and Beetee looks at me. "Yes Peeta?" "Do we know who's baby it is? Is it mine?" Beetee let's his head fall and Haymitch looks away. He slowly pulls up a ultra sound of the baby and he shakes his head. "There was no sign of your DNA... It's Hugo's." "So you're telling me dipshit got her pregnant?" Johanna says and Beetee nods. "Yes Johanna." She stands. "I'm going to talk to her." "Johanna I don't know if that's a good idea." Plutarch says. "I don't care." She walks out and I clear my throat, wiping the tears from my eyes. I knew it was his, I just didn't want to believe it. "Can you excuse me?" Everyone nods. "Take your time Peeta." Haymitch says and pats my back as I walk out. I aimlessly walk through the hallway until a hologram turns on in command and I turn before walking to far. I see Hugo, smirking into the screen in his uniform. "Hello rebels." I slowly walk in as Paylor stands. "I'm sure you all have noticed something very different with your MockingJay and my surprise that has came with her." "You son of a bitch!" I yell. He chuckles. "Oh my Peeta, that is not the way to talk to me now is it?" He rolls his eyes. "I want my fiancée brought back to me by the end of the day or you shall pay the ultimate price." "We aren't giving the MockingJay back." Plutarch says and Paylor nods. He chuckles. "Then let the games begin." He stands from his chair. "Cut them off." The hologram then turns off. "We need to work on getting Katniss back quickly." Beetee says and then quickly rushes out. I walk quickly down the hallway to where Katniss should be and when I get behind the one way glass I see Johanna glaring at Katniss who is sitting on her bed. "So tell me this brainless, did you want to have sex with Hugo." "Yes of course I did!" She yells her eyes getting dark and Johanna snaps. "Hey I'm not talking to you, ya Capitol mutt I'm talking to brainless!" Katniss eyes go more soft. "Come on brainless answer me." "I-I don't know, I-I can't remember." "Yes you can I know you know!" Then Katniss's eyes go back to dark. "Yes I told him to make love with me!" Johanna stands, red face. "Look, I know that you want to talk Katniss, I know that somewhere you're trying to fight this and tell me what the hell they did to you! But if you can't fight it then I'm no help to you!" Katniss growls. "I'm guessing, no I'm sure that you took the hijacking serum so Peeta didn't have to go through it again, you took the hits, you took the beatings, you took all of it because your goal has always been to keep him alive!" Katniss glares. "So when you want to talk Katniss, you let me know." She walks out of the room. "Well, she's more of a bitch than you were when you were hijacked." "Do you really think she took the serum and torture so I didn't have to?" Johanna pats my shoulder. "I know she did Peeta, I know she did." I look at Katniss, her face in her hands and then Ryan walks into the room that Johanna and I are in, with Willow in her arms. "Today, I'm going to try something new, I'm going to see her reaction to Willow." I shake my head. "She'll hurt her!" Ryan shakes her head. "I don't think so actually, I'm going to let her relax first and then I'll go in." She waits for about thirty minutes and then she walks in with Willow, after explaining that to not call her mommy, not at this time. Willow was upset but she was excited anyhow. Katniss looks up as Ryan walks in holding Willow. "Hey Katniss." Katniss smiles a little. "Hey Ryan." "So I know that this is your first pregnancy and all so I wanted to show you a friend that I have to help you learn about babies." Katniss nods. "This is Willow, her mommy isn't with us anymore." Tears form in Ryan's eyes. "The Capitol took her from Willow." "The Capitol wouldn't do that." Katniss says softly. "No Katniss, they would... She doesn't have a mommy right now." Willow sniffles a little. "Is she alright?" Katniss asks and Ryan chuckles. "Just a little emotional I guess, say hi Willow. "Hi." She says and Katniss smiles. "Hello." Katniss looks at Ryan. "May I hold her?" Ryan nods. "Of course." She sits next to Katniss and puts Willow in her arms. Willow looks up at Katniss, her blue eyes find her mothers now pink eyes. "My god." Katniss says softly. She looks up. "She's beautiful." Ryan nods. "Very beautiful." "Hi Willow, you're very beautiful." Willow smiles as a lone tear rolls down her chubby cheek. Katniss gently strokes it away with her thumb. "Don't cry baby, it's okay... I'm here." And yet she isn't, Willow knows that and I see her chubby hand take Katniss's finger. "You're a natural." Ryan whispers and Katniss looks up. "You really think so?" Ryan nods. "She's had a rough few weeks, it must be nice for her to meet someone who's been having a rough few weeks too." Katniss nods. "I'm not really good at making friends Willow but." She kisses Willows hand gently making Willow smile. "I'll try to be a good friend for you." Willow giggles. "Katniss?" She looks up at Ryan. "She likes to color and play hide and go seek... You wanna play with her for a little bit?" Katniss nods. "I would like that a lot actually." They stand and Ryan takes Willow away from Katniss. "Wait-" Ryan shushes Katniss. "Relax, I'm just going to take your handcuffs off, they must be bothering you sense you've held her that long." She takes off her cuffs and I see the deep gashes from them in her wrists and Ryan raises an eyebrow. "Whomever is putting these on you, tell them to loosen them alright? Don't be afraid to tell someone you're uncomfortable." She nods. I look at Katniss, she's actually smiling at Willow as Willow grabs a crayon and piece of paper, making squiggles. This is the first time I've seen her, Katniss not the mutt inside her smile. She sits down on a chair in the room with a table and looks at Willow who is gripping onto the table to draw as she stands on her chubby legs. Katniss chuckles. "Want to sit in my lap?" Willow nods and Katniss lifts her up and sets her down on her lap as Willow grins and Katniss chuckles. "What are you going to make?" Katniss asks and Willow smiles. "A family picture." Katniss nods. "What should I draw?" She asks and Willow giggles. "I don't know!" She says and Katniss laughs. "I'll just color." She grabs an orange crayon and smiles a little, so do I. Some part of her might still remember that's my favorite color. And it's not the bright orange... It's a sunset orange. As Willow and Katniss color Ryan looks up at the one way glass and gives me a thumbs up. After about ten minutes Willow lifts up her drawing. "I'm done!" Katniss kisses her cheek "lemme see." She sets the picture down and I see the drawing. It's of me, a stick figure with yellow curls with a bakers hat on top, holding the tinniest stick figures hand which is her. I see she made Buttercup sitting next to us and then I see a stick figure with a braid, holding a bow in a leather jacket. She points to the tiny stick figure with dark curls. "That's me." She points to the cat stick figure. "That's my kitty ButterCup." Then she points to the drawing of Katniss. "And that's my mommy." Katniss smiles a little. "She's beautiful." Willow smiles. "I know she is." Katniss points to the drawing of me. "That's your daddy?" Willow nods. "He's a very nice man, he loves me and mommy very very much." "I'm sure he does." She says. She chuckles. "He has blue eyes like you... And you have your mommy's hair." Willow nods. "I miss my mommy." Willow sighs. "I know you do Willow." Ryan says. Katniss shifts. "My sister had a cat named ButterCup." Willow nods. Ryan smiles. "Alright hide and seek?" Katniss smiles. "You wanna play hide and seek?" Willow jumps. "Yes!" Katniss covers her eyes. "One, two-" Ryan helps Willow to the nearest hiding place an hides her under Katniss's blankets. "Nine, ten!" Katniss looks around the room and sees Ryan. She smiles and she looks at her sheets that giggle. "I wonder where Willow is hiding." Katniss says and then she slowly walks over to the bed and smirks. She lifts up the sheets and Willow lets out a roar. Katniss laughs. "I found you!" Katniss says and scoops her up laughing. Willow giggles. Katniss sets her down and she goes to run but she trips and falls on her butt. Willow whimpers and starts crying. I see the panic in her eyes that she would get when we first had Willow, when Katniss was home and not hijacked, it was normal to see Willow fall and cry a little, we would just help her up and laugh it off. Katniss freezes and Ryan quickly picks up Willow. "You're okay, just a little bump." "I'm so sorry." Katniss gasps. "Will she be alright?" Ryan nods. "It probably scared her more than it hurt now didn't it?" Willow nods, hugging into Ryan. Katniss sits on the bed. "You can go now... I hurt her, that's how it always goes... When I hurt something they take it away." Ryan shakes her head. "Katniss, I'll talk to Willows dad and see if it's okay for her to stay the night with you." "I would like that." Katniss says and Ryan walks out slowly with Willow in her arms. "Peeta, is it okay?" I nod. "Yeah, whatever Katniss needs I'll give it to her." Ryan smiles. "Thank you, I think Willow is really helping." When she tells Katniss I can see her excitement and it makes me smile, but then a hand goes to my shoulder. I look up and see Gale. "Come on, let's get you to bed man, it's late... They'll be okay." I then walk away with Gale.
