Hijacked: Will Things Ever Be The Same Again?

Revenge on Violet Everdeen

EDITING LATER

Peeta's POV

It has been at least a year since the last attack. That is the longest it has ever been. I can't believe it. The doctors tell me that I maybe getting over the venom of the trackerjackers.

" What's wrong, Peeta?" Katniss asks me. She was holding her stomach for she was holding our child. She got pregnant in May and it is July now. We are sitting by the lake talking over things. It's just me and her. I look up at her and give her a smile.

" Nothing, I'm fine."  I answer. She gives me a look of worry. Then her head snaps in the direction towards the woods. She looks at me with wide eyes and mouths some words. Then she runs off in the other direction. Moments later I noticed she said follow me. I quickly got up but my fake leg slows me down. I see her disappear in the woods. I trip over a snag and my fake leg caught. I hear loud footsteps behind me and it sounds like there running. I try to cover leaves over me, but when I stop hearing the footsteps I know I'm too late. I look up and see a man I haven't seen for awhile. Gale.

" Hello Peeta. " He greeted. I see an evil glint in his eyes. His eyes are darker than usual. They shouldn't be that dark. He grabs me and lifts me up and sets me on the ground. 

" It's been a long time." He grinned. His eyes getting darker.

"Uh, yeah it has. Why are you back, Gale?" I ask. 

" I wanted to visit you guys. " He said and I hear footsteps behind me and I realize it's Katniss. I see that Gale does too, but somethings wrong with him. I can't let him near Katniss, I don't trust him. I see black ink down his arm so I decide to use it as a distraction.

" Can I see your arm? It looks like you have a tattoo. " I say looking down at his arm. I see the black ink swirl around on his arm. He lifted up his sleeve showing black ink moved like a fire pattern. It looked like it was swallowing his arm, but when I looked at it closer I noticed dots as if he was injected with something. He's been hijacked. How had he been hijacked when Snow is dead and the Capitol is destroyed. I see Katniss in the corner of my eye. While Gale looks at his tattoo I look at Katniss and nod my head no like I did in the games. This time she listens to me and backs away. I was sure to see her later. I slowly slip my wedding ring off, Gale doesn't know were married. 

" Gale, would you like to have dinner at my house? " I ask trying to swallow down my nerves. I look up at his eyes and noticed there more normal than they were before. 

" Sure, I'll see you in a couple of hours." Gale responded. He sounded more like him. I hope he is normal when he comes to my house. I have to warn Katniss. 

I run to the direction Katniss went after I told her to go. I see Katniss huddle up in a ball, she is having a flashback. I run up to her and hug and at first she tries to get out of my arms. Then she notices it's me. 

" It's okay, Katniss. It's not real, Katniss." I whisper her ear. She hugs me back tightly. 

" It was Prim. " She whimpered. " Not our daughter, but my sister. If only I had gotten to her in time. " 

"Katniss, don't say that. There was no way you could have stopped those bombs." I explained as my eyes started to water. We sat there hugging each other for support and I got back to the subject of why I was running to her. 

" Katniss, someone hijacked Gale. I don't know if he will attack you or not. You can't be at our house at 6, okay? He is coming for dinner. Stay over at Haymtich's. Take the kids.  I will try to talk to him about you and see if he attacks. I love you, but I need to leave. " I explain. She looks up at me, her eyes red and watery from the tears. I give her a long kiss before I hug her and head back to the house.

I  start cooking raisin bread for Gale and for the house to smell a little better. I hear three knocks on the door. I look through the window and see Gale. I swallow my nerves and I open the doors. He walks in without a welcome. He is hijacked, and his eyes are dark but not all the way.

" What are you cooking?" He asks. His breath smells like beer. He's drunk. 

" I'm cooking raisin bread." I answered not looking him in the eye. I go ahead in the kitchen and Gale follows. " So what's is your reason for coming back to District 12" 

" I'm coming back for revenge. " He answers. I look at him straight in the eye. 

" On who?" I ask. He looks at me and grins.

" Violet Everdeen." he answers. That was Katniss's mother. My eyes widen and I gulp.

" Why?" I ask getting the raisin bread out of the oven.

" She killed her own daughter." He replies. " That daughter never deserved to die. I loved her like a little sister." A tear drops from his eye. He quickly wipes it away.

" Katniss?" I ask. He shook his head no and took a beer bottle out.

" Yeah. Why would she do that? Her own mother. " He answered with tears in his eyes. He looked around to see some of Katniss's belongings. 

" I'm surprised you still have her stuff, Peeta." He whispers as he looks at her bow. 

We ate our dinner and he stayed to sleep at the house. There was no way he was against Katniss's mom. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow.
