Chapter 14

Joanna unwinds the wire well me and Katniss keep watch. Eventually Katniss decided to switch with Joanna.

Then out of no where the wire goes slack. Someone cut it. Joanna takes care of Katniss's tracker well I run over to find who cut it.

I see Enobria. She makes eye contact with me shakes her head and says, "I'll make this quick."

"Don't worry. I don't think you'll need too." I answer.

I take out a knife and throw it. It hits her shoulder. She screams. She glares at me. She throws a knife at me. I barely dodge it but the swift movement re opens my cut on my arm.

I ignore the pain and throw a knife at her neck. She falls to the ground dead. I pull the knives out of her and see Peeta looking at me.

He shakes his head and keeps running yelling Katniss's name. I run after him, if he gets hurt Katniss will undoubtedly have a fit and not cooperate.

I hear Jacob yelling my name vaguely but keep running after Peeta. I yell for him to calm down.

"SHE IS FINE I PROMISE!" I yell.

He ignores me and keeps running. I know my arm is bleeding but I ignore it. My legs are starting to ache but I have to keep running.

"KATNISS!" he yells.

We are too close to the lightning tree to be good. Lightning strikes the tree and I see Katniss laying on the ground and the forcefeild broken.

I see Brutus behind some trees. Peeta sees him to and goes to him. Brutus runs. Peeta goes after him. I see the pod coming down and taking Katniss.

The rebel pod. I am almost done with my job. I just need to bring Peeta back. I run after him.

When I finally catch up with him he is standing in front of Brutus's dead body.

"Peeta" I say delicately grabbing his arm. Bad idea. He throws me off I hit a tree and everything goes black.

~a while later (in the capital)~

I wake up in a prison cell. I can barely move. My arm has been stitched up. It is badly bruised where it hit the tree.

I can tell my back is badly bruised too without even looking at it. I try to get up but it hurts too bad. I let out a whimper.

I immediately want to take it back. Don't give the capital the satisfaction. Peeta is in the cell next to me.

He is looking at me. I can see the guilt in his eyes. I pull myself up so I am sitting. I wince.

"I'm so sorry." Peeta says.

"No don't worry about it. It could have been worse." I say.

"How?" I hear Joanna say from the cell on Peeta's other side.

"I could have not gotten my own cell." I say only loud enough for her to hear.

I hear her laugh.

"I really feel bad." Peeta says.

"Don't. It isn't that bad." I say.

"Not that bad!?!? Your whole back is bruised!" He says.

"I have dealt with worse." I say remembering how one time my whole back was bleeding terribly.

"So it is still my fault." He says.

"No it isn't. I should have left you be. But where are we anyway?"

"The capital I think." He says.

I bury my face in my hands. I notice I am in new clothes now. A capital jumpsuit for prisoners. I panic and look at my wrist.

They left the bracelet. I count each charm. 13 exactly.

"Did Jacob get out?" I ask.

"Well the rebels took him like they took Katniss." He says.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Good they are safe."

He looks at me confused.

"Did you get a concussion or something?" He asks.

"What? I hope not. I don't think so." I say.

"Then you should know that the rebels will use them." He says.

"Well they won't against his will. They can't make him do anything unless he wants to." I say.

"Really?"

"I would hope so." I say loosing confidence.

I sit there with my thoughts. Until a peacekeeper comes in.

"Okay, so the kid and the boy right?" He says to his ear piece.

He nods and says, "Alright, you two come with me."

The presence of the peacekeeper makes me forget about the pain and go with him not letting him see I'm in pain. Walking like I own the place. A walk that not brothers taught me.

They did it when they were taken by peacekeepers to the whipping post or about to get a bullet to the head.

He leads me to a room with a prep team in it. Peeta is taken to the room next to me.

A girl with tattoos covering her says, "Oh gosh those bruises won't do."

They try to cover up my bruises and talk about how I am gonna have an interview with Ceasar later.

Apparently it is because they thought people would sympathize for the little girl that I was known as in the capital. So the rebels will surrender.

But I know they will fail because in the districts I am not known as a little girl. I am known as strong and powerful.

The districts didn't like many tributes but they seemed to like me. Maybe because I was real. When I apologized to the family of the other tributes they knew I was truly sorry.

I was quite surprised when they didn't see me as little that they saw me as a warrior.

My prep team are not trying to make me look like a warrior though. They have me in a blue sundress.

The person doing my hair tries to put it up in two ponytails but I refuse and pull my hair into it's normal bun. Ignoring the pain in my arms when I lift them.

I look into a mirror for the first time since the games start. I have a long cut over my face that they attempted to cover in make up but ultimately only made it slightly more faded.

Other then that I look fine. Like nothing happened. Like I didn't just get out of the hunger games.

I walk out and see Peeta he is dressed casually. I smile my normal "capital smile" which only my family and a few others can tell is fake.
