When I awake from the deep sleep I was forced into, my leg pains me even more than before. I look down, but it looks like nothing had happened. I'm impressed, but it still felt...weird.
"How does it feel?". The nurse quietly asks, approaching me slowly.
"Its fine" I lied. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Everyone was waiting for me.
"Are you sure?". She reaches out to touch the place where my wound was.
"Yes. How long have I been out?"
"Just 2 days. We did a small amputation and replaced it with a fake leg. It still functions the same way, looks the same way too. You can't tell anything was wrong could you?". She smiles, boasting.
"Okay. Can I go now?". I move towards the door. I can't believe I've been out for 2 days.
"Yes. But first, listen. I wanted to be on your side. I'm sorry." She rushes away into her office before I can ask what she's sorry for.
"Wait! Sorry for what?" I call just as she closes her door.
I stand there for a minute, then rush out the heavy metal doors. I don't see Katniss or Finnick anywhere. I didn't think they would've even left the room. I decide to go ask the nurse.
Walking back to the room, two things happened. My leg seemed to...twitch. I couldn't control it. I thought nothing of it though, because I was probably just getting used to my new leg. Then I heard the screaming. It sounded like my name...but I convinced myself that it was just a hallucination.
Tap, tap tap. I quietly knock on the mahogony office door. She opens, looking sad but her face quickly softens when she sees me.
" What?" She wipes her eyes swiftly.
I was startled by her troubled appearance and decided not to ask about it.
"Do you know where Katniss and Finnick went?" I step into her office a little but she steps out and shuts it behind her immediately.
"Um" She looks back at her door and then at my face. "Y-no-uh-Yes." Her face droops down. "They're in...I mean, they're.... Dead" Her face goes bright red...something isn't right, I know it.
"Tell me the truth. I'm not joking...tell me where Katniss and Finnick are!!" I yell at her. Her eyes fill with tears again.
"Im sorry Peeta. I just can't." And with that, she closes the door.
"No! Tell me. Youre a liar!! Pleaase. Just tell me where they are!" I yank on the door handle, but she locked it.
I finally have no other choice but to cut open the door. I find an amputation knife and crack into it.
"No... Stop it! " She screams and with my eyes on the mahogany door I am reminded of Effie and half expect her to say THAT IS MAHOGANY!!.
But instead she opens the door just as I begin another cut, and the saw grazes her leg.
"I'm sorry I-" She raises her finger.
"No. I'm fine. Listen if you swear... Never tell anyone I told you. But I do know where they are. Unfortunately I just can't tell you. " She starts to leave. What's up with her always walking out mid sentence?
"No tell me. Why are you so scared about it? "
Her face hardens. "They threatened to kill my family. My two daughters, 3 and 5. And my husband. Unless I do this. I'm sorry again. But by midnight tonight, I will have to-" She swallows hard. "kill them." She looks at me nervously with tears in her eyes.
I turn away and she opens her door to go in, that's when I slip ahead of her.
Katniss. Finnick. Wrapped in chains and shackles.
