Chapter 10
Katniss's P.O.V.
I feel myself in a state of awake but not. I am being dragged on the ground by my legs. But I am too stunned to move. I can hardly see. My ears are ringing. And my head is fuzzy. I feel my child moving around a lot. My heart is beating a million miles per minute. I can't call out for help. Can't scream. All I want is Peeta. But Gale has me in his prison. And now he'll never let me go. Never...
I feel myself be lifted up and set on something hard. It is warm and is making noise. It must be a car. I can see barely. It is cloudy, and swirling. Gale moves my head to look at him.
"Thought you'd wait for me, Catnip. I wanted one of our own. Not just some guy." He says and runs the back of hs index finger along my face. "But soon we will. But who's ever it is.... it won't be for long."
He bounds my hands at the wrists with zip wire. He puts the over my head. He moves my long hair away. He puts it under my back. He leans down and kisses me. Instant fear and heart ache comes. I feel my soul leave me when he touches where my child is. I can feel more of me now. But I am too weak to get him away. I can only shift a little bit.
"Won't be able to go anywhere, Catnip. Not yet. We've only just begun." He whispers in my ear.
He runs his hands along my body. I feel myself cringe. I keep my eyes shut and hold my breath. Tears slip from my closed eyes. I hear the rip of duct tape. I open my eyes. Gale places it over my mouth. His grey eyes look into mine stricken with fear. His show a dominate passion. Almost sinister. He kisses all along my neck. I feel goosebumps rise on my whole body. I get enough feeling and I shift my weight. My shoulder hits his face. He swears under his breath and moves away.
"Guess we need to get this over with now." He says. "Shame, I was enjoying my sweet time."
I get enough strength to move my legs. I attempt to kick him, but end up sliding down the the car instead. He stops me. He puts me back on the hood again.
"Such a bad girl you've become, Katniss. I thought you'd learn by now, not to cross me." He says and slams my body back hard on the car hood. I groan in pain.
Gale holds me down with his forearm. I feel my breath and heart go quicker. I try to move free. He pushes down harder.
"Don't even think about it, Katniss. Otherwise this'll be more of a pain, than pleasure. Just.. let it be." He says and kisses my cheek.
He slowly moves his hand down me. He stops at my jeans. My worst fear is becoming and reality. I will be a victim of an awful thing. Every woman's nightmare. Rape...
Peeta's P.O.V.
I finish leaving the sixteenth voicemail to Katniss. I am freaking out. I have told the Amphitheater Security. They are on the lookout. So am I. I don't want to worry Prim, but I'll need to tell her soon. It is getting close to midnight. Luckily it is the weekend. We are done with school next Friday. Then we'll be officially Seniors in High School. Which is crazy to me. While I wait for any news of the whereabouts of my girlfriend, and mother of my daughter, I want to get Katniss something to make up. The band is doing a meet-and-greet. I want to get her an autograph. I'm not a big fan, but I know Katniss is. She'll be ecstatic about this. The line moves forward. I move up. In about ten minutes, I reach the band.
"Hey! So, what's your name?" Charlie Scene asks me as I hand him the picture.
"Oh, it's not for me. My girlfriend. Katniss. She's a big fan." I say.
They pass it along the members. They realize that J-Dog isn't in his seat.
"Hey, just hang out a minute. J-Dog just ran to do somethin." Danny tells me.
"Alright, thanks guys. My girlfriend will love this." I say.
Some people murmur that I can stay. But I could care less. Katniss means the world to me. And I'll do anything and everything for her. I love her so much. And whenever she gets back, she'll love this gift. About ten minutes go by. J-Dog comes running into the room. Looking pretty freaked out from something.
"Sorry, guys. Meet-and-greet is over! Guys, come on." J-Dog announces to everyone.
All the fans exclaim and groan and murmur. The protest and boo the band. The sounds of police sirens and an ambulance makes everyone stop their protest. The Band leaves and goes that way J-Dog came in. The fans head to see what the commotion is about. I push through to see. The Police are blocking off the parking lot with yellow tape. Paramedics are loading a girl into an ambulance. She looks bad. The band is talking to her before she goes into the ambulance. I get a better look at the girl when she is lifted into the ambulance. My heart drops.
"Katniss!!" I yell.
Without even thinking I break through the police tape.
"Hey! You can't be here. Stand behind the tape." An officer tells me.
"She's my girlfriend!! I need to see her!! Is she okay?! What happened to her!?" I say, in a panic.
"She was asking for a Mr. Peeta Mellark. Is that you?" The officer asks.
I pull out my wallet and show my license. "Please, I ned to make sure she's okay. She's pregnant." I beg, nearing a breakdown.
"Right this way." They say and give me my license.
I follow the officer and rush to Katniss's side. I am mortified at her state.
"Katniss.. Oh My God... Babe.. I'm so sorry." I say and hold her hand.
"S-S-Stay w-w-with me?" She gets out weakly.
"Always, I'm not going to leave you ever again, alright? I swear." I say and kiss her hand.
She smiles a weak smile, before her eyelids fall shut. She gets lifted into the ambulance. I am about to get in with her, when someone tugs my arm. I turn around.
"Here. It's the autograph she wanted. She deserves it." J-Dog says with a genuine smile.
He hands me his mask and then the autographed photo. "Thank you." I say.
The paramedics close the doors and then the ambulance starts to drive to the hospital.
~ Few Hours Later ~
Katniss's P.O.V.
"This may be hard news to hear, Katniss. But for the both of your safety, I would recommend you stay here until you deliver. Your TTS is making an appearance again. It can be very dangerous for you. And if more and more strain is put on you, it could potentially kill the both of you." Dr. Chandler explains to me.
"I can't stay here. I have to work. And nothing has been wrong. Just.. until tonight. Nothing has been stressing me out. It was just all that happened tonight that brought it back. I was watching it ever since my Dad left and my Mom died. And it went up, but I managed to get it way down. I have to work to earn back all that was in my bank." I say.
"Well.... It is your decision to accept or deny my recommendations and professional opinion. But, as long as you keep your stress and emotions in check, you can be discharged by tomorrow afternoon. We'll need to go over the SAEK and go over the Forensic Exam still." Dr. Chandler says.
"Thank you. I will. Can I see my family now?" I ask.
"I'll have them sent in right away. Take things easy now, Katniss." Dr. Chandler says with a sincere smile.
"I will, thank you. You won't see my back her until this little girl is on her way." I say. "Oh, and Dr. Chandler?"
"Yes?" She asks.
"My family....doesn't know about my condition. They never have, except my parents when they were around. I don't want them to have more worry for me. And they'd keep me from doing everything if they new. They are all worry warts." I say.
"With patient confidentiality, I personally cannot share anything about you. That is your choice to share that. But know, I won't. I can't. You have no worry of them finding out from me." She says.
"Thank you." I say.
"Of course, Katniss. I'll have them in as soon as possible." She says with a smile.
