Katniss pov

"Hello Mr Mellark,"his cold voice comes on the radio.

I freeze and turn to Peeta.

"Snow." He says.

"Ah, Yes... I see you've survived. Everyone said you were dead but I knew not to underestimate you two. You are Victors of course, not by chance...well at least Katniss."

His words anger me. I shake in furry.

"He's stalling, turn It off!" I say.

"It's too late Ms Everdeen, my troops are on their way."

"You're bluffing."

"I thought we agreed not to lie to each other."

With that the connection cuts off.

Peeta triumphantly holds up the cord in his hand that he unplugged, but it's too late. They're on their way.

I quickly grab my bow and arrows. Peeta grabs every weapon he has. Maybe we're crazy for thinking we can fight them off. But we're crazy together.

He spins me towards him and grabs me by the waist. He crushes his mouth to mine. It's sloppy and quick but powerful.

"I love you."

"Always."

He grabs my hand and leads me to the broken staircase. He starts to build up enough so that we'd be able to pull ourselves up without getting hurt. He motions for me to go first. I can just barely reach the ledge. I swing my legs up and then pull myself into the landing.

"Okay Peeta, climb up!" I say holding out my hands.

He looks at me with worried eyes and says,"remember how much I love you." Then he kicks down makeshift ladder and takes off running. I can hear the hovercrafts landing outside.

"Peeta no!"

I look out the window and see him running as fast as he can with his fake leg. Several peacekeepers run after him.

Gunshots are fired.

My heart sinks as they carry his limp body into the hovercraft. I scream but they can't hear me. Another hovercraft lands. That's It. We're done for. I load my arrow ready to murder each and every person out there.

That's when I see a flash of red hair. Finnick? Then I see dark hair. Gale?

They rush out of the second hovercraft and fire at the peacekeepers. Haymitch runs towards the house.

I jump down, landing on my ankle and I fall to the ground. I try to push the pain back and stand up but it's hard. Haymitch runs in yelling my name.

"Over here!" I say.

He flies around the corner with a wild and worried expression on his face.

"Katniss! Let's get you out of here."

He helps me up and helps me limp to the hovercraft. "Peeta- they have Peeta!" I say.

"We'll do what we can. We'll get him okay?" He says.

"I need to ge-"

"You need to sit. You're not leaving my sight. " he says.

Finnick and Gale come running back into the hovercraft. "They took off." Finnick says sounding defeated.

"No!"I yell,"No you let them take Peeta!" I'm sobbing.

"Sweetheart, calm down."

I continue to sob as anger rises. I stand up and slap Haymitch,"you son of a bitch! You let them-"he grabs my wrist and I feel like a heavy weight is on me. They drugged me.

He slowly lets me fall onto the bench. "I love him." I don't know if the words make It out before I pass out.

The sounds of beeps and buzzing wakes me up.

"Katniss?" Prim's voice.

I open my eyes slowly. It's bright, but not in a natural way. In a hospital kind of way. "Where am I?"

"District 13."

"Peeta?" She shakes her head.

"I'm so sorry. The capitol has him, Johanna, and Annie. Brutus and Enobaria too."

"Prim, I need your help. But you're the only one I can trust."

She nods. "Anything you need."

"Prim, Peeta and I had a toasting-" her shouts of glee cut me off but I quickly place a hand over her mouth.

"Shhhh...don't let anyone know! Prim I'm really trusting you to not share my secret. Can you handle the next one?" She nods.

"Prim, you need to help me... I need you to run a test."

"What kind of test?"

"A pregnancy test."

"A-"I quickly clamp my hands over her mouth.

"Primrose listen to me." She looks at me with wide eyes. "I need to know if I'm pregnant. But no one can know."

"I'll see what I can do." She says.

She runs out the door, and I lay back against the bed rest, taking in my surroundings. I'm alone in a grey room. The walls, counters, and floor are all grey, as if something sucked the color out of them.

A knock on the door gets my attention. "Come in." I say. Haymitch pokes his head in.

"Go away,"I say sounding like a child.

"Sorry, Sweetheart we don't always get what we want." He walks in and stands by my bed.

"You look horrible." I say.

"I could say the same thing to you...they have a no alcohol policy here. I've been living off of coffee."

I just glare at him.

"Look, Katniss, I know you're angry with me. You don't think I wanted to save the boy too?! He's the only good one out of all of us! But you were my priority."

"You should have saved him." I say.

"Katniss, I had to save you."

"Why?! You should have let me be the one captured, Peeta deserves a chance to live."

"We'll get him, I promise."

"You have too. No matter what, Peeta walks out of this in the end. Whether I'm with him or not."

He sighs and then puts a hand on my shoulder. "I promise."

Prim comes running in saying,"I found It! It took a while but I finally found the pregna-HAYMITCH!"

"Primrose,"He says eyeing her suspiciously as she hides the test.

"Hey, Haymitch- how's It going?" She says trying to act nonchalant and failing miserably.

"Primrose, what's behind your back?"

"Nothing!"

"Primrose."

"I was just picking up something for a person...totally un related." She says nervously.

I cover my face because I can't watch this any longer. I hear a sigh of discontent which I'm assuming is Prim handing It over to Haymitch. So much for my secret.

"Katniss..."He says softly.

I don't look at him. I look straight. I show no emotion. He hands me the test. "You need to take It."

I take It from his hands and stare at It. Reluctantly, I climb out of the bed and walk over to the adjoining bathroom.

It takes a while for me to do it, but It finally happens. I walk over to Prim and ask,"how does this work?" The truth is, I've never seen one before. My mom could always tell just by feel, It was rare to come across enough money for a test.

"Well, you peed on It right?" I nod.

"Now we wait."

I sigh, "for how long?"

"Two minutes." She says.

I start to pace until Prim grabs my hand and says,"Katniss, sit." I reluctantly do as she says. These are the two longest minutes of my life. Finally Prim says,"you can look now."

I shake my head. I can't do It. I think I'm going to be sick. "I can't look." I say.

"Do you want me to do It for you?" She asks. I nod. I watch as she walks over to where the test is. It's as if she's in slow motion. Or maybe that's just the anticipation.

She hides her emotions well as she looks at It. Maybe it's just shock? Calmly she says,"it's positive."

"Positive,"I say slowly.

I close my eyes and the tears instantly fall. I'm having a baby... and Peeta is nowhere to be found. "Haymitch, you need to save Peeta."

"I'll do everything I can."He says. Prim gets paged and has to leave. Haymitch walks over and wraps his arms around me.

"I'm here for you, Sweetheart."
