-Peeta's POV-

I'm sat in the huge food hall, picking at my food. Prim is sitting next to me along with Haymitch, Effie, Gale and that other man, Robert I think his name is. There's a big chunky pillar in the middle where there's five TVs at each angle. It's currently showing something I don't give a crap about.

The daily Capitol news comes, I only watch it because I laugh at how stupid the Capitol people are. I make sure I don't laugh loud though because I may offend Effie, and Effie isn't nice when she's offended.

Suprisingly it's Ceasar on the screen, not Snow or a Capitol person.

"So, a lot of you have wanted to know what happened that night in the Quarter Quell, when everything went black. We'll be hearing it from the person themselves. Please welcome Miss Katniss Everdeen.." he says showing Katniss. Wait Katniss? She died, I saw it with my own eyes.

"So, Katniss. Tell us, what really happened that night?" Ceasar asks. The camera turns back to her. Fir this first time since I first layed eyes on her she looks awful.

She has dark, black bags under her eyes, she has a cut that has been tried to be covered up on her eyebrow, then another which has also been tried to be covered on her cheek, going up through her eye. They've dressed her in a white dress, she had little straps covering her shoulders then a white collar which connects to her dress at the front. Her collar is very odd though, it goes into a big point, pointing up her neck.

"Well, when you're in the games you only have one wish; to liv, and one hope; not to be the one killed. In my matter it wasn't about me, I wanted Peeta to go home to his family. I had made a deal with Haymitch not to let me win, but Peeta to get out alive. Why? Because I loved him and had to repay him for saving my life when we were younger"

"But Katniss, what if he was involved in a plan without you knowing?"

"Well for starters he wouldn't be that stupid and if he was" she chuckles. "I hope he regrets it because he obviously didn't love me enough to actually tell me and keeping it a secret from me"

"All right Katniss, if Peeta was watching this now what would you say to him?"

"Peeta. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Just be prepared for what's going to happen to you and everyone else. I know you're probably worrying about me right now but please don't, I'm fine. I'm strong and I can get through what's happening to me. Just concentrate on yourself for once and get rid of these games before something happens to one of us, most probably me because you're safe in District Twelve. I'm stuck here with Snow. But please, Peeta, make them rebel against Snow, he's coming for you. He's going to kill everyone, you'll be dead by morning if you aren't caref.." the TV starts blurring out as she warns us about what Snow's going to do.

I didn't realise I was standing right in front of one of the screens until I had finished and I turned around to see everyone staring at me. That's when I also notice my vision blurry from tears. The whole room is silent as they look at me, knowing I thought she was dead.

I feel sadness just thinking about what she's probably going through with Snow, just because she wanted to keep me safe. But I also have relief in me that she's alive.

I want her here though, in my arms, with me. Keeping the nightmares away from each other.
