Breaking Us

I wake up from another beating, this hallucinations are making me go crazy,. I saw my dad and my brothers, it was some kinda fire in District 12? what did my dad mean? and is this some kind of a sign?.

President Snow is now recording mandatory viewings throughout the districts now that Katniss have given them spark President Snow is trying to stop it at any cost.

He makes Johanna and I sit in a very dark room full with doctors while they work on us injecting us with some kind of serum which makes us hallucinate, scream and most of all full with rage.

Most of the Districts are uprising against the capitol. My stylist keeps talking about it and everytime she gets me ready for my next interview she has to adjust my suit everytime because of my weight loss. My arms barely fit into the sleeve and my neck can no longer show.

The suit's not white anymore because of my current aspect. President Snow agreed to let Johanna and I eat just one meal to keep us alive.. for now. I'm presented with two guards after my wardrobe fitting sitting on a cold white table with Johanna who looks so lost.

"Johanna.." I have to force myself because I can barely speak.

"Johanna hey.." I wave my hands infront of my face and she grabs them quickly. I back up scared from her reaction then she turns back to normal.

"Peeta.. I- I'm sorry, i've been hurt a lot this week and I barely now whats real and whats not" she grips her eyes tightly then stare at mines with sadness.

"Jo- its okay, I almost died from starving too I just hope Katniss still remember us and rescue us quickly" I whisper her closely because the guards may over hear us, then it'll be the end of us.

"Peeta.. maybe she won't you seen how I treated her in the games she would never rescue me" Johanna says with a shaky voice taking a sip of her now cold soup. Her eyes are swollen and her bottom lip is dry like the wind.

"Jo- don't say that if she wants to rescue me I promise I won't leave without you" I take a sip of water feeling it slowly satisfy my thirst. I look back and two peacekeepers rush me out of my seat. I try to fight back then I hear Johanna screaming far away then one of the peacekeepers hits me with the but of the gun in my forehead then everything goes black.

When I come back to consciousness I don't open my eyes, I don't move, but I feel myself rocking. My brow furrows and on the next breath I open my eyes, smelling instead of the foul air I had gone to sleep in, the ocean. I gasp and almost fall off to the water. I look beneath me and see the metal plate the tributes had risen from then look out across the water to see the Cornucopia. At the Cornucopia a fight was underway. It seemed like all the tributes were already there. In the center, if I squinted, I could see a girl with a bow and a guy with a trident. I instantly knew it was Katniss and Finnick. I get into a kneeling position for more stability and start screaming their names. I couldn't get to them, I couldn't swim, I'd drown faster than I could be reached. No matter how much I yelled or waved my arms, I knew they weren't coming. I look at the water and put my legs over the side of the platform and slip into it. I grab the platform immediately taking a breath before letting go, bracing myself to sink like a rock, but instead I keep above the water. Not thinking more about it, I kick my feet out and move my hands in front of me quickly as I'd seen people to in Games past, moving in the direction of the Cornucopia, of Katniss.

The creaking of the a cell door breaks into my dream, waking me. My eyes snap open at the door's slamming. Peacekeepers are taking Johanna back to her cell.

"Bring it in." I hear down the cell block. A delayed moment later, the cell door opens. A large tub is rolled in and water sloshes over the side. An empty tub I assume is brought out of another room to make way for the new. Seconds later, a bitter taste rises in my mouth, as the aged president glides into the hallway. Bags have begun to form under his eyes since last I saw of him at the opening ceremony, and there is no sign he's made an attempt to cover it up. He walks, upright and graciously after the tub, careful to avoid the spills, following it into the room with Johanna.

"Sweet Johanna, you are still looking well." The president must also have gone blind.

"I wish I could say the same for you." She retorts, despite her knowledge she knows she doesn't look well at all.

There is a brief silence and then the president's chuckle, "I am afraid it is true. I have not been sleeping well since learning of the rebellion, and all these uprisings that are trying to ruin out great nation, can take a roll on one such as myself."

"I bet you're just dying of heartache."

"Yes, well you and I both know you are not here by coincidence. We know you have information on these rebels, so please, be a dear and tell us. I promise if you do, you can all go."

"Your promises are as about as good as a pile of-" she's cut off by a sound of splashing then there's gasps from the room.

"Make this easy on everyone my dear, and just tell us where they are." Snow's voice was light, smooth with a non existent kindness.

"Go to-" More splashing, this time though instead of gasps a series of obscenities flow from the room, then a loud smack as gurgled words that become muffled as the door is shut.
