Hijacked

Chapter Sixty Two

Chapter Sixty Two

KATNISS'S POV TWO MONTHS LATER

I flip through the pages of the book that shows how to hijack for torture. I've been looking through volume after volume, after volume and none has given me answers. Then all of the sudden a burst of anger rushes through me.

I throw the book across the room, then start throwing all the notes I have made over the months on the ground, tears starting to spill down my cheeks. "There's no use, there's no use, there's no damn use!" I yell. Gale bursts through the dens door and I look up quickly, embarrassed at my outburst, my hair a curly mess. I drop to my knees and put my face in my hands. "Catnip?" I groan.

"Gale... There's no point, I've tried everything!" I stand. "I've done research, I've gone to the best doctors in panem, I've gone to meetings, I've spent thousands, I've even sat down with Peeta but I can't break him out of this one!" I put my hand on my now distending stomach. "He or she can't go without a father, neither can Willow." He wraps his strong arms around me, resting his chin on the top of my head.

After a few moments of more venting into his chest he clears his throat. "Are you done now?" I sniffle. "Yes." He chuckles. "Catnip, I've already told you that I would help you... I know we aren't romantic or anything anymore and you don't want that but if I have to I'll step into the dad role for you until we get Peeta in the right state of mind." I nod slowly. He pats my back. "All I want is-" "Cheese buns?" I slap his chest. "No! All I want is for this to end... But the cheese bun sounds good." I say softly and he chuckles.

"I'll call Rye so he can make you some." I pat Gales cheek. "Thanks." Later that night as I read a book with Willow sleeping on my chest the phone rings and I pick it up slowly. "Hello?" "Katniss it's Beetee." I sit up a little. "Oh hey, how is he?" "He's doing okay, we're finally getting him to sleep without any nightmares or attacks." I sigh in relief. "Great that's great."

"And I think I figured out why he is having such a strong attack." "Why?" I ask softly. He pauses. "It might be better if you just came in and see for yourself." The next day Gale picks up my luggage because he refuses to let me carry anything because of my "condition"... Jesus I'm pregnant not dying. We leave Willow with Haymitch and Emily until we get back.

When we get there two days later I sit with Gale and Beetee in a dark room were he turns on a hologram. "Now these images are from Peeta's dreams that we have recorded, you don't get any audio or video it's just photos but we are getting there." He hits play and I see many pictures of me but morphed horribly to where I really do look like a stinking evil mutt. Blood all over my face, a evil grin, my eyes red as the blood on my face, I look like a demon more than a mutt.

I look away quickly. "Turn it off." Beetee stays silent. "I said turn it off." No answer. Gale grabs my hand and slams his free one on the table. "Turn it off dammit!" Beetee gasps, turning it off. "I apologize, I was thinking." Tears threatening to spill over my eyelids. "What were you thinking?" "Maybe if Peeta sees Katniss as herself, what she is now in his dreams I might be able to snap him out of it but it involves Katniss going under. "I don't know-" Gale starts but I already have my answer. "Let's do it, whatever helps."

A few hours later I'm hooked up to many machines next to a out cold Peeta. As I start drifting off into this dreamland I take his hand and grip it, slowly blacking out. When I come to I'm not with Peeta or Beetee or Gale... I'm surrounded by hundreds of my clones with dark red eyes and blood all over them. I see Peeta rocking back and fourth sobbing into his hands. I get on my knees and grab his wrists. "Get off me!" He screams. "Get off me no!" "Peeta it's me Katniss!" He looks up quickly and gasps. It looks like the normal Peeta, the one I fell in love with during the victory tour.

"Hey, how've you been? I've missed you." I say quietly, stroking his cheek. His arms wrap around me and he nestles his face into my shoulder as the mutts surround us. "God you don't know how long I've been waiting." My eyes snap open and I'm in my own hospital room now and I look at Gale who leans over quickly.

"What?" "I need to see Peeta." "Katniss you can't right now." "Why?" "When you got hooked up and put under, everything was going well until Peeta started having a seizure, he's stable but we don't know if he is mentally." "Please Gale I need to see him." "Katniss I'm not going to let you get hurt again." "If you love me Gale you'll let me." He shakes his head.

"I love you enough to tell you no, and that we will go and see him later... I don't want to see you dead." He presses his hand on my stomach. "Or the baby." Then Beetee walks in quickly grinning. "He's up, and he's asking about Katniss, he wants to see you." Someone puts me in a wheelchair and wheel me down to him.

When I see him sitting up, skinny and weak with dark purple bags under his eyes it kills me. He looks over at me. "Peeta?" He looks away quickly. "Peeta... It's Katniss, how did you sleep?" "You were put under, risking your damn life and the babies in the process." He barks, I go pale. "Peeta, I promised myself I would do whatever to get you back-" "Get what back Katniss? My sanity? The old Peeta? The one you and I knew during the victory tour? That Peeta? What is the broken Peeta now not good enough for you?"

"No Peeta, I just want what's best for you... I hate seeing you like this." "Katniss I'll never be the same, you know that." "No don't say that." I grip his hands but he pulls them away. "Look at you Katniss! You're driving yourself mad over this! I'm not ever going to be the same! I'll always be having attacks and I'll always have the urge to kill you." Then everything goes in slow motion.

His eyes go completely dark, he grits his teeth and grabs me throwing me into the glass wall where it shatters and I go completely through. I fall on my back hard and he straddles me his dark eyes filled with fear. He grabs a piece of glass and goes to stab me but I grab his wrist, using all my strength. "Not real Peeta! Peeta no stop!" He punches me, busting my lip and making my thoughts jumble.

I get the piece of glass from his hands now that are bleeding and press them quickly to my distended stomach gasping heavily with blood oozing down my neck from my lip. "That's our baby, it needs us Peeta, the baby needs both of us, you and I, no one else, just us. Broken or not broken, PTSD or no PTSD, nightmares or no nightmares it needs us." I press my forehead against his.

"I won't have this baby without you Peeta." His eyes go blue then dark, blue then dark. He's getting confused, his hands are shaking on my distended stomach. I put mine over his as tears roll down my cheeks as I plead with him. "Please, please don't do this honey... I need you." Then he grabs my neck and I scream. I swore to myself I would never fight him during attacks like this but all my frustrations from these past few months come boiling over and I claw at his face as hard as I can.

He howls letting go of me and staggering back. I jump on top of him, pinning his wrists to the ground as his chest rises up and down heavily as he snarls and growls. "Stop! It's over! What you're seeing isn't real, please Peeta stop you're killing yourself! You're killing me!" Then before I can process what's happening he grabs a piece of cement and smashes it against the side of my head, making me fall off him with my vision blurred as I lay on my side, watching him get tackled by many nurses as he screams and growls in anger like a rabid monster.

A lone tear rolls down my cheek as I watch him scream and sob about me being a mutt. I feel Gale bring my limp body into his arms as I hear him sob. "It's okay, I got ya Catnip, I'm right here Katniss." "Peeta." I whimper as he holds me, my vision fading in and out. "I know, I know." Then I see President Snow, standing in the corner with a rose in his hand smirking at this mess and he smiles.

"It's the things that we love the most Miss. Everdeen that destroy us." Then he throws the rose on the ground where it explodes into flames and he walks down the white hallway laughing at the mess that has been created by him... Then I slowly black out in Gales arms screaming.
