Chapter 1

Peta and I were twirling in the snow. I was looking into his eyes, and for a minute I felt something.
Peta wobbled under my weight and we feel into the snow laughing and giggling. Then I brought his face close to mine and he held me so tenderly. he tilted my chin up towards his gentle eyes, and I leaned in for a kiss.
His lips were soft and caring. His hands were loving and tender, and for a moment the stopped and time froze. For a moment I forgot that there were people and camera crews. That feeling, that moment was gone as I releized that the whole country on Panem was watching.
Peta picked me up. He had a prostetic leg, but he was still very strong. Peta lost his leg in the Hunger Games when he got blood poisening. He would be dead if I didn't find him lying covered in mud. We were both crowned victors. I threatened to kill myself and Peta did the same.
I pretended to be madly in love with Peta in order for me and Peta to survive. But now I feel a connection between him and I. I might accually love him, we've been through so much together; getting out of the Hunger Games was the biggest. Haymitch was our mentor, ( the victor of previous Hunger Games) he made the message clear that the more Peta and I kissed the more sponsors we got.
But now Peta and I have our own houses in Victors Village. The train ride back was long. I would have nightmares and would wake up screaming but Peta woul be there waiting to calm me down enough to where I would fall asleep in his arms. Now we ar back in the Seam, well District 12. But in a couple days we'll be back on that same train on our way to begin to Victors Tour. That same train that took us to the Hunger Games.
