***Peeta's POV***

I hold Katniss' weeping body in my arms, when suddenly, my thoughts change.

I'm back in the Capitol when they were torturing me. I am huddled in the corner of the room, starving. They come in and I look up at them. I don't know why they do this to me. They beat me every day, asking for information that I do not have.

"Why did Miss Everdeen blow up the arena," they scream at me. I'm so confused. "I-I don't know what you're talking about," I tell them. They strike me with their whip over and over. I cry out in pain and I scream at them and demand them to stop. But they don't listen.

Then I hear a woman's voice. A familiar voice. Katniss' voice.

"Peeta! Peeta stop! It's not real," she calls out. I open my eyes and I go back to reality. "What happened," I ask her. Her eyes are bloodshot and her face is blotchy like she's been crying. "What did I do to you?!" I ask her. She shakes her head.

"You had a flashback because. Because..." Her voice trails off. "Because of what," I ask. "Because of Prim." And then it all comes back to me. My daughter, my sweet, innocent daughter is dead.
