AUTHORS NOTE (READ TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OF THE STORY!)

So, hello. This is my first story on Fanfiction, so I'm going to see how this goes. My native language is not English, so I do not write perfect grammar. I hope you understand that, but I'll do my best.

There are some basic things you need to know before you read the story! READ

*Spacerunner's are basicly humans with the ability to move from place to place with teleportation. They are hunted and if caught, usually enslaved or forced to work for the government. More to know about the race as the story goes on

*The characters are quite a bit OOC (as an extreme for example Katniss's eyes aren't both grey) and the story is AU

*The story is set in Panem, and there are Districts and President Snow has the power. But there are NO HUNGER GAMES and the districts aren't as poor as in the books. People are allowed to travel between districts. The citizens have more easier access to electrical modern devices, but the differences between wealth are still great.

*Peeta might seem like a big ass in the first chapters, but he's a nice guy :)

I will be posting a chapter probably once a week or so, because I am attending high school and have a lot of work to do since it is my senior year. I will NOT update the story if I don't get at least one review, because I find it quite understanding not to. The next chapter will be about Peeta's past and a little abou Katniss's if anyone's interested!

SO enjoy the story readers!

CHAPTER ONE

PEETA'S POINT OF VIEW (THIRD PERSON)

Peeta stood in the shadows of the narrow streets of Disrtict Twelve, just behind the street the Everdeen residence in the Seam of District Twelve. He had been looking for a spacerunner for nearly ten months in three different districts before coming back home and finding one by accident. He was very excited to finally be able to catch one after stalking the girl's movements for 2 days to make sure he would be able to catch her without fault.

It had been three days ago an hour before sundown when he had caught sight of Katniss. He had met her a few years back and knew she was his age, although not attending school for previously unknown reasons. Now he knew why. He had been visiting the streets of the poorest part of District twelve to attend a delivery for his family's bakery in town. One of the customer's really needed the bread but couldn't come to the bakery because of being bedridden.

He had been wlking down the streets and inclined his head slightly to glance down an alleyway to check for anything suspicious. That's when he saw them. Katniss and Primrose Everdeen appeared out of thin air with a slight puff of blue smoke directly on the pavement. Peeta suck in a quick breath and hid behind a wall, peeking around the corner carefully.

"Now, Prim, I have to go before someone sees me. Have fun with Rory and say hi to Gale for me. I'm sorry I can't come with you, but there are a lot of people hunting spacerunners around the district nowadays. I'll pick you up at eleven," Katniss said and kissed the yonger one on the top of her head and disappeared again with a puff of blue smoke.

Peeta glanced at his watch and stepped in the middle of the back yard of the small house that the Everdeen's lived in. He had seen Katniss appear here too times at the same time the pas two nights. And this time he had been lucky, since no one was home. And he was ready for her. He kept repeating 'I'm doing this for Delly,' again and again in his head, because deep down he really didn't want to do this. But she was waiting for her. And this was the only way to find her.

Katniss materialized right on time just before him, her back towards him. Peeta grabbed the collar in his hand tightly and with lightning speed moves he slipped it around the girl's neck and clipped it on. She screamed in terror, but he grabbed her throat and turned her around, blocking her words. Her eyes looked like a terrified does about to be shot. Katniss kept trying to spacerun, he could see it from the way the collar kept giving her small electric shocks. Peeta took the tazer quickly from his pocket and put it on her shoulder, knocking her out. She slacked forward, unconscious, and he took her by the waist, quickly throwing her on his shoulder.

Peeta sighed. The mantra kept playing in his head. He kept thinking, that he would just do this o save Delly and after that Katniss would go home. He wouldn't need to give her to the authorities. It would all be fine.

KATNISS POV

Katniss woke up on an uncomfortable matress in a strange room with a pounding headache. She quickly closed her eyes to shield herself from the light and to think through what had happened. Once the images came back to her, the fear grew stronger. The panick sent her to trying desperately to spacerun anywhere. But every time she tried, a small electric shock was transmitted through the collar on her neck. She didn't dare try to take it off, because she sensed someone else was in there and she wanted to pretend to be asleep. There was no way out and she new she had no way of pretending she wasn't a spacerunner.

All kinds of thoughts ran through her head at that time. Who kidnapped her? Were Prim and Mom alright? She couldn't understand how someone found out about her, she was always so careful using her gift. Would she end up tortured, enslaved and killed like her dad and almost every other spacerunner out there? She was mortified, and a silent tear ran across her cheek. She just wanted to go home. She had read terrible stories about what had happened to spacerunner's caught by the government. And she didn't even know if she was still in District Twelve, or who had abducted her. She had only gotten a glimpse of a big man with light colored hair when she had been caught. Though she had to admit, the kidnapper had done an impressive job.

Spacerunner's had been hunted for centuries. And a few years back, President Snow had set a law legalizing the enslavery of people like her, selling them and the government was doing a big program to locate all of them and forcing them to work for the State. There were only a few of them left free. She only new about herself and Haymitch Abernathy, a drunk spacerunner who had once escaped the Capitol to District Twelve. But he was a broken case, his whole family had been killed because he wouldn't do what the government wanted.

"I know you're awake," came a deep male voice from a few feet away. She felt a light tug aroung her throat, he must've attached a leash to her collar. "Open your eyes."

Katniss opened her eyes slowly, blinking a few times to get used to the light. She was in a tight space, with a small lamp in the ceiling, a mattress, and a small table with a chair. Between her and her captor were thick metal bars, like in a prison cell. The man on the other side was roughly around her age (22) and he was very strongly built - so escaping would be very hard. He had blond hair that curled around the edges and sprakling deep blue eyes. He had a serious and a little annoyed impression on his face - oh, she thought. This would be trouble.

"What do you want from me?" She asked, trying to sound intimidating, but failing miserably. Her voice shook a little.

"My name is Peeta, we've met bfore a long time ago. I want you - because I obviously know you're a spacerunner - to help me find my wife. After we've found her, you'll get to go home and live with your family. If you're unwilling to cooperate, I can always sell you to the government with a high price."

Katniss turned her eyes to the floor. Peeta, as introduced, tugged on the leash, making her tumble a little across the small place to stand before the bars. Another tear fell down her cheek. She was really scared. "Please don't."

"Look, I don't want to hurt you," he said a little more gently. "But I really need a spacerunner to help me find Delly. And I found you. If you help me, you'll be back with your family in a couple of weeks and I'll never tell anyone what you are."

She thought about it for a couple of seconds. But she didn't have a choise. He knew, and due to the collar, she couldn't spacerun. She was at a dead end.

"Do we have a deal?" He asked a little impatiently.

"Yes," Katniss whispered.

"Perfeft," he said smiling crookedly. "We'll leave for the capitol tomorrow morning at dawn."
