Chapter 21

Jacob comes into my room. He seems nervous.

"Aina, Peeta is all messed up." He says.

"What do you mean?" I say my voice manages to stay calm till the end where you can hear panic.

"He attacked Katniss." He says.

"What! Why?"

"They say he was hijacked. With tracker jacker venom or something." He says.

"Oh can I see him?" I say worried for my friend.

"No, I don't think they would risk it." He says.

"Well is Katniss okay?"

"She can't talk and has a neck brace on, but she is alive so I guess." He says.

"That must be awful."

"She was so excited to see him too." He says sitting down next to me.

"Will the normal Peeta be back ever?"

"Their trying, but honestly I doubt it." He says looking at me. Eyes full of pity.

"So hijacking made him mad at Katniss?" I say.

"They altered his memories to see Katniss as a threat." He explains

"Does he see anyone else as a threat?"

"Not that we know of."

I smooth my hair out trying to seem calm. He doesn't fall for it. He wraps me in a hug.

"It's gonna be okay. They are trying everything they can. I promise." He says.

"I know. I know." I say my voice cracking.

"Luca is coming in any minute. He is upset so don't talk about anything too sad." He says quietly.

And almost on cue Luca comes in obviously annoyed. When he sees me upset his face changes into concern.

"What happened?" He says.

"Nothing." I say straightening myself.

"Did you hear about Peeta?" He says.

I nod and he says, "Did Jacob tell you?"

"Yeah" I say

He hug me and says, "Well let's go get some breakfast."

A week later

I wait outside of the door anxiously. Apparently I am supposed to try and help Peeta remember somethings.

Someone tells me to go in. I walk in with a small smile. He is tied up to a bed.

He seems calm.

"Hi Peeta." I say my voice sounding way more calm then I am.

"Aina?" He says.

"That's me."

"Aina are you okay?" He says looking at my arm that still has a few cuts on it.
