I am running through the woods, bow loaded. Staying on guard and aware of every little sound. suddenly, I hear a branch snap approximately twenty feet behind me. I whip around and let my arrow fly without a second thought, striking my opponent in the center of his chest. He falls to his knees, his head down, eyes on the ground. One step closer to going home, I think. Then he looks up, staring straight into my eyes with a look of confusion and disbelief. But then his gaze quickly turns to one of resolve and acceptance. Then my eyes widen with realization. Tears quickly form in my eyes just as he collapses to the ground. Still and motionless. And the boy with the bread is no more…
No…
"No!" I scream, waking myself up. It was only a dream, I think, just a dream. Was it? Was it really?
I jump out of bed, throwing the blankets to the floor. I run down the stairs and out the front door without even bothering to put on shoes. I run straight to Peeta's house. I have to make sure he's alright. I need to prove to myself that this was all just a dream. I don't even bother knocking—the door is usually unlocked anyway for reasons I do not know—I just go on in. I run into the living room.
"Peeta." I call for him. No answer. "Peeta?" I call again. Still no answer. "Peeta!" I yell. This time I panic and head for the stairs. I run up them and trip over one of the steps and I fall to my knees. Ouch! But I get over it in a few seconds. I continue to stumble up the stairs until I reach art studio. He's not there. Where could he be? I go into other rooms upstairs and don't find him anywhere. I find his bedroom, I open the door and peer Inside. I still don't see him. I start to close the door when I hear a small noise from inside the room. I open the door and enter.
I walk around to the other side of the bed and see Peeta lying on the floor.
A/N: Yeah...sorry this first chapter is a little short. I promise the next one will be longer. Please review and tell me what you think about this first chapter. I'd love to hear from you guys. And let me know if this story is just terrible, even though it's barely started. Comments? Critiques? I'll try to upload another chapter soon, today hopefully. Bye~
