I wake up on a hard and cold floor, Masie is laying next to me, I softly turn her over and let out a sigh of relief to see her chest rise and fall. We're in an unfamiliar room, it's empty other than two buckets in the corner and a small window but bars block it from both sides, I try ripping them off but let a huff of frustration out, I give up and slide down the wall, trying to stay calm

"Mommy?" Masie whimpers sitting up

"Over here sweetie" I reassure her, opening my arms and she crawls over to me so I can set her in my lap, rubbing her back

"My face hurts" she says, I look at her and see the big purple bruise on her cheek, I softly rub it

"I know. It won't hurt forever, it'll heal" I tell her, kissing her forehead

"I want daddy" she says, starting to cry, I hold her tightly

"I do too. Don't worry, we'll get out of here" I reassure her, and we will, that I'm sure of.

I look at the bodies, men, women, children, babies. My eyes don't leave my best friend and little sisters dead bodies, I've grown a new hate for Gale, he has no idea who he's messing with. I tear my eyes away and go into the pack house, slamming the front door shut, breaking it off it's hinges but that's the last thing I care about. I punch a wall and scream out, cursing the goddess who cursed me with Gale in my path

"Peeta?" I turn and see Johanna, a saddened look on her face

"Get. Out. I want to be alone" I growl

"Look I understand wha—" she starts but I don't want her sympathy

"No, you don't! Gale has tormented me and this pack for years! He murdered my family! Tormented me for years! He took the last that makes me happy! Katniss and Masie are everything to me! So no! You don't understand! No just do me a favour and leave me the fuck alone" I yell, storming into the den, slamming the doors but not too much to break the hinges.

I pace around the room trying to think, I know Gale isn't dumb enough to go back to where him and his pack live. Katniss Masie are relying on me to come for them and I will, I'm going to figure it out. I sit in the chair, looking at the photo of Masie and Katniss in my wallet, I take it out and put my wallet back in my pocket, I smile sadly down at my picture

"I'm going to find the both of you. I promise" I hear someone enter and by the scent I know who it is, I stand up and turn to see a broken Annie, I open my arms and she runs into them crying

"I... he..." she cries hysterically in my arms

"Shhhh, it's okay. It's going to be okay" I reassure her, I hold her till she stops crying, she pulls away and wipes her wet face

"He took them, didn't he?" She asks, I nod, she grabs me by the shoulders

"I believe in you. You'll find them and when you do. You bring Gale here, his pack members, I want them all to die, slow. They murdered Finnick in front of his son, Flynn isn't speaking to anyone, not even me. He ruined this pack and we're going to ruin him. I want you to promise me something" she says

"Of course, whatever you need" I reply

"I want to be the one who kills him" she growls, I'm shocked because Annie was always against violence and always thought talking it out and negotiating is better

"Are you sure? I mean—"

"I'm sure. He's ruined my life and my sons life in the worst way possible. I want to do it" she confirms
