Chapter 2

-Peeta's POV-

I feel the hovercraft come to a stop, meaning we've landed. Everyone makes their way out and I'm the last one, I look around. This isn't District Twelve.

"This isn't District Twelve" I say, in fact, it's the first thing I've said in the whole journey.

"Wow, the boy's finally decided to speak" A man says. I shoot him a glare.

"You have no idea what I went though in that arena so i'd shut your fucking mouth" I snap.

"All right. Geez hold your bread" he jokes. I feel anger boil in me. My Katniss died only a few hours ago and he's joking and telling me to calm down? Fucking jerk. I go to attack him but Haymitch grabs me.

"Hold up now Peeta" he says. "You fuck off, his fiancè died in there"

"Fiancè my arse" I hear someone, I turn to see Gale. I scoff. "More like bread boy's crush who didn't love him when he stalked her since she was five" he laughs.

"Yeah, well I've loved her more and longer than you" I shoot back.

"Yeah, well at least I wasn't scared to talk to her" I laughs.

"Just goes to show your cockiness doesn't it" I shoot back.

He rolls his eyes and walks off. The other man laughs at Gale's comments.

"Fuck off" I growl. He continues to laugh as he goes and joins Gale.

"Calm down now bread boy, don't let them get to you. They're jealous that a girl wouldn't sacrifice herself for them" I chuckle a little. "I doubt Katniss would sacrifice herself for those two anyway" he laughs, making me laugh again. He lets me out of his grasp and walks beside me. "Anyway, as you were saying. No, this isn't District Twelve, it's District Thirteen" he says as we walk through an entrance that leads us underground.

"I thought it got destroyed?"

"People gradually re-built it. Some of District Twelve's population are here"

"Why?"

"The Capitol bombed District Twelve"

That's when my world comes crashing down. Not only has Katniss died but also my family. That means Katniss' family's dead. Innocent Prim, dead.

I fall to the floor and cry on my knees. I feel Haymitch's hand on my back. "Peeta it's okay. I know you want to protect Prim for Katniss" I look up at him. Something catches my eye though I look over to see the doors opening and a blonde haired girl runs over to me. I stand up and bring her into a tight hug.

"Prim.." I whisper. "..I thought you were dead"

"Why? Because of the bombing?" I nod. "Oh, Gale saved us" I hug her.

"I'm glad you're okay. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to you"

"Why?" I hear her mother ask.

"You don't know?" I ask worried. They both look confused at me.

"Where's Katniss?" Prim asks.

I sigh. "That's what I thought you knew"

"Knew what? Peeta tell me!" Prim whines.

"Uhh Katniss died in the arena when she shot the arrow, causing her to break the arena dome"

"She died?" Prim asks on the verge of tears. I nod. I look to her mother who's frozen.

I hear Haymitch call me. I turn around and he sees Katniss' mother and sister. He jogs over. "I'm so sorry" he says hugging them both. I comfort a balling Prim while Haymitch deals with her mother.

"I'm here for you Prim" I coo. "She's in a better place with your dad. She's happy up there with him. That's all she's ever wanted, to be with her dad whether it's dead or alive" I say. "She'll look after you from up there. Just because she's dead doesn't mean she can't look after you" She nods in my chest.

"Will you stay with me? I normally have Katniss to sleep with.."

"Sure" I say kissing her forehead. "As long as you want me to I will"

"Thank you" she whispers. We go to where they've assigned for them. I see there's two beds, they obviously suspected I'd stay with them because there's boys pyjamas that would fit me and girls pyjamas that would for Prim. They got changed and Peeta climbed into bed, Prim not far behind following him. She climbed in next to him and snuggled close to him.

"Katniss was right about you, you're so warm. Even in the coldest nights" He chuckled.

"She actually talked about me?" Prim nods.

"She never used to understand how you could love her, but when the quell was announced and it was the reaping everyone could tell she was falling in love with you too. You could tell by how much she was crying when you volunteered for Haymitch. You were the only one that didn't notice" I smile.

"I don't know how anyone couldn't love her. Nearly all the boys in our year fancied her, there was only two or three that didn't because of her stubbornness"

Prim nods as she snuggles deeper into me, her head laying on my chest. I wrap my arms around her comfortingly. "You can pretend I'm Katniss if you want, I understand" I kiss her cheek and we both fall to sleep, knowing nightmares will awake the both of us.
