Right folks, this is my first Hunger Games fanfic, so please don't be too hard on me. Constructive criticism is totally welcome though! It's in Peeta's point of view, but I'm not too sure if it's a little bit OOC. It's super short, but awck well.
Peeta's POV
I had never been fazed with the prospect of dying. Dying was the easy part; living was a whole lot more frightful. As long as I was unchanged, nothing put me out of sorts – except for the safety of Katniss Everdeen. Of course, I like the thought of survival. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise - or at least that's what I've been trying to convince myself. After the Quarter Quell - as far as I'm aware – myself, Johanna, Enobaria and the mad girl from District 4 have been in the Capitol. To put it in the nicest possibly way, life in the Capitol so far hadn't been far off from what I would imagine hell on earth would be like. Not that it mattered. As long as Katniss is with the rebels, I know that she's relatively safe, for now at least.
As long as I know Katniss was alive, I'll have to muster the will power to keep going. Without her, I'd have probably given up all hope long time ago. Sure, I really like the idea of living; it's just that I'm not entirely sure that my wish will come true. Better to be surprised than disappointed, right?
In any case, the sake of Katniss is the important thing. As long as our so called 'Mockingjay' is alive and well, there's still the tiniest hope of the Capitol's downfall. That's all the rebellion needs- Someone to speak on behalf of them…Someone brave enough to fight for the cause. I can't imagine any better suited to the job than Katniss herself. Without her, neither I nor the rebels will be able to function. Whereas, without me? I'd be surprised if my own family batted an eyelid. She's the one Panem needs. She's the one I need. Like a blazing fire, an eternal flame.
How do you start a fire when there's nothing to burn?
Love it? Hate it? Leave it as a one-shot or continue? Jeez, so many questions. By the way, I quoted Victor Hugo once, and RENT twice.
