Hi! Welcome to my first Hunger Games FanFic. I saw that this idea of reversing the roles of Katniss and Peeta for the end of Catching Fire and start of Mockingjay hasn't been done much. So in this version Katniss is 'hijacked' by the capitol and also pregnant, while Peeta is rescued by the rebels. This chapter begins where Catching Fire ends…

Peeta's POV
We yell back and forth to each other, both knowing that the time we have left is limited. I watch as I see Katniss' knees give out, stopped dead in her tracks. We're both barely moving, temporarily paralyzed by the force of the lightning and wire. I don't know what has happened to Katniss, but I can see she's bleeding heavily and unable to move.
My arm moves in tiny amounts in an effort to reach her, but I do so to no avail. The next thing I am aware of is being lifted up by the hovercraft and her not being there. I look toward her, lying on the ground. I yell her name several times only to become disoriented and black out.
Time then moves in a strange, confusing fashion I cannot seem to understand. When I do wake, it is of a few moments then a mysterious fluid drips into my arm rendering me unconscious. And yet, in my dreams I see her. Keep trying to reach for me, yet deep down I know it is futile. She is gone, I can't save her. God only knows where she is. Another thought creeps up on me, what if she didn't make it? My love, my everything gone.
With this thought, I wiggle my way of the bed determined to find her. I walk slowly, still sore from what happened in the arena when I hear a voice. It is a man's voice, strong and not like the accent of Capitol citizens. Haymitch! I think. Maybe he knows where she is, how to find her. I run towards the sound to see him standing toward Finnick.
"Where is she?!" I demand. "What happened to her?" He forces me into a chair, the look in his eyes changing. He tells me all about the rebel plot to rescue us from the Games, how Katniss and Johanna were captured and how District 12 was destroyed.
I try to make a sound, but nothing comes out. All I can think about is how this could happen and what they might possibly be doing to her.
My desperation peaks as I say "Please. Haymitch, we have to get her out. Who knows how they are torturing her. And the baby…" The baby! Who could do such a horrible thing?
