It's dark. Too dark.

Where am I? The truth is I don't know. The last thing I remember is some type of explosion going off in the arena.

My eyes begin to dart around this cold, damp place even though it's too dark to see.

"Katniss," my screaming only growing louder and more urgent, "Katniss! Where are you?!"

I listen and sit there in silence.

Nothing. No one. I am alone.

Or so I thought.

Right now, the only sound that fills my ears is the trickle of cool water dripping onto the concrete ground next to me. All I can feel are the hot tears pouring down my cheeks and frigid air blowing at me from a nearby vent.

"Get me out of here!" I scream. With that, I hear a noise which sounds like it's coming from the other side of this hell hole.

"Peeta…?" a soft voice calls out, just barely loud enough to hear.

Katniss is the first thought that crosses my mind when I hear the voice. Of course, that would be too good to be true. Honestly, I don't have any idea where I actually am. The Capitol I'm guessing though, this couldn't be part of the arena, or could it?

"Peeta…!" the voice beckons. And it hits me.

"Johanna!" I yell, in a more mollified tone.

"Yes, it's me. Now be quiet and come closer lover boy. I know you can't see but, follow the sound of my voice." Johanna's signature tone replies.

As I'm making my way over to her, I feel a sudden jolt from my ankles and wrists. I fly backwards a couple feet till my butt smacks into the cold concrete. Shackles are chained to every one of my limbs. Even though this is not funny at all, I hear Johanna quietly snicker and giggle at me. She probably heard the thud from me landing on my butt…

"How about we just meet half way?" I call back to her. I can hear her shackles clanking together as I make my way toward her. I cautiously walk a few more feet flaying my arms like an idiot trying to reach her until I feel the flesh of Johanna's arm. I grab her tiny wrist and she jumps back.

"God Peeta, you scared me!"

"Sorry but where are we?" is my initial question.

"We're in the Capitol's hovercraft. They've captured us and I'm not sure who else. Anyone could be in this room still unconscious from the explosion back in the arena. I woke up about three hours ago, and only once have anyone come to check on us in here. You've been the only other person to wake up well, that I've noticed. "

"Oh god. So you haven't seen anyone else...like Katniss? She could be here…or safe I hope. Better safe than with me I suppose."

"Shut up Lover Boy, I know for a fact she's not here and I can explain it all later." She says in a hushed toned. I just barely make out her face, but I can tell she looks worried. "We have some serious planning to do if we ever want to get out of here but, we need to wait and see who else is with us first. Go back to your corner and get some rest. There's nothing else to do in this dump. Just be careful."

I agree to her request and as I begin to turn back around I feel her grab my arm then whisper, "She's safe Peeta. I made sure of it myself."

"Thank you." Is all I can think to say back to that because I'm so star struck. I am so thankful, and I should probably thank her even more for risking her own life for my Katniss.

As I'm now carefully pacing back to my corner, where my chains give me the most freedom, I can't help but wonder what she meant by I can explain it all later. In a few hours, or maybe when we get out of here, if that ever happens. There's something going on here that has my mind in disconcert. Whatever happens, I will get back to Katniss.

And that is my last thought before…
