Author's note: The first couple of chapters are fairly short because I was just testing out my writing on tumblr. Reviews/comments are very much appreciated and I hope you enjoy. :)
I wake with a start, immediately noting the scent of roses hanging heavily in the air. As the room comes into focus I realize that this is Snow's mansion. What am I doing here? Jumping out of bed, I look down and notice I'm wearing a hospital gown. Well that's strange… I cautiously open the door and walk out into the hallway.
The walls consist of boarded mahogany panels and look like they go on forever. When the door closes behind me I have the strange feeling that I'm trapped.
I frantically walk down the hall looking for an exit. Exasperated and frustrated, my body turns around without permission from my mind. Was there a door there before? My legs break into a sprint as I'm nearing the door at the end of the hall.
Suddenly I'm in the 74th Hunger Games. I'm no longer wearing my hospital gown but I'm donning my tribute uniform. I'm standing on the cornucopia facing Cato and in his grasp is Peeta's neck. I aim my arrow at Cato while Peeta is motioning to his hand, obviously pointing out my target. I feel like my brain disconnects from my body and I shoot Cato in the leg, causing Peeta and Cato to fall off the side of the Cornucopia. Why did I do tha-!
The first thing that I feel is sweat all over my body and tears down my face. Muffled screams are in the distance but coming progressively closer. Oh, of course it was just me screaming.
There are only two thoughts running through my head.
Prim is dead. My sister, Primrose Everdeen is never coming back.
My second thought, I wish I could have the luxury of Peeta's arms around me. But that is impossible. How could Peeta love this mangled form of a girl? He could never love me again after all we have been through. I don't deserve his comfort.
Peeta Mellark is too good for me, hi-jacked or not.
