KATNISS'S MOTHER P.O.V.

I take Katniss into my arms. I'm Walking over to the rusty, old operating table and checking her breathing at the same time. I want to make Katniss well and quick.

But I can not let the tears or sadness win the war. I will not give up.

I will be strong.

I will be strong.

I will be strong.

I repeat those words over and over again in my head.

I can feel Katniss's heavy breathing in my ear.

She's alright.

Just unconscious.

I'm laying her down onto the table with Gale's help.

I inspect Katniss's injuries underneath her clothing.

It's not bad.

Only her head is servilely injured.

I can tell that it'll take at least twenty four hours for her to recover.

I see that Gale is worried about her. He is holding her hand just as Katniss held his when he was in the same state.

I want to take Gale's mind off her pain but there is no point. Every time he looks at Katniss, he will think of her pain. Besides, I can't risk losing concerntration when I'm operating.

I will be strong.

I will be strong.

I will be strong.
