Peeta POV
I wiped sweat from my brow, Slashing through the undergrowth to make a way for Katniss, Finnick, and Mags. I hated
the arena this year. it was bad enough we had to go back in the hunger games again, and the game makers have to
make the arena humid too? Nature was Katniss's thing, not mine so much. Katniss. i sighed out loud. i love her so much.
i wish she felt the same. We did sleep together on the train but it wasn't out of love for her. it was for me, but she
wanted the nightmares gone. not that i blame her much. i just wish she could love me back.
I'm still slashing through the thick vegetation when i hear Katniss start to say something but then i hit something. i
barely have time to register the pain...
and then...
and then...
darkness.
Prim POV
Mom and i were watching the games. Peeta and katniss teamed up with Finnick and mags. i think this was mostly either
peeta or Haymitch's plan because i know my sister. And she hates making friends. Peeta's in the front with Katniss in the
rear. he's clearing a path through the think jungle when...
he collides with something
he is thrown backwards
then...
...
...
...
...
silence...
Katniss POV
"NOOOOOOOOOO! NO! NO! NO! PEETA! YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP! YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP! you have to! you have to!"
i collapsed on his still, still chest. it wasn't filled with the sounds of his beating hearts. the comfort was gone. the steady
beat was gone, and so with it went any chance that i want to live. Even though i WAS pregnant. or at least i think i am.
Peeta didn't know that when he told the capital though, that was just a lucky guess.
A LITTLE BIT EARLIER
"Wat—" Peeta goes flying backwards and i smell burned hair. i rush over to his still form and put my ear to his chest, the
place i sleep every night, perfectly fit for my head. i wish i could tell him i loved him, but i'm scared. so scared. i know
nothing about love. i hear nothing. his chest is empty. no steady heartbeat.
...
just..
...
...
silence...
END FLASHBACK
Peeta was dead. the cannon fired. i stayed with his body while Finnick and Mags set up camp nearby. i couldn't leave him.
he was my reason to live. he was supposed to win. his body had gotten cold now. none of his familiar warmth and strong
sturdy arms wrapped around me. his lips are turning blue and his eyes remain open. i can't bear to close them, because
then i will never see them again. i kiss his frozen lips and take his knife. "i'm sorry." i whisper and walk in to the forest.
seconds later
a cannon booms.
Prim POV
Peeta died. Kartniss is hysterical. she probably actually is pregnant too. tears silently creep down my cheeks. mother has
long since left the room. not being able to take it. i cry not just for peeta, but because i know that Katniss can not live
without the boy with the bread, even if she doesn't know it herself. I will lose my sister too now.
LATER
i was right.
She couldn't live without him.
they had a double funeral. well if you think about it, triple. she was pregnant. We hold a memorial for them in the
meadow. the dandelions floating in the breeze. i cry now. frequently. my family is broken. my heart is shattered. the only
thing i wonder is why? why me? why katniss? why peeta? he never did anything wrong but love. since when is love a
crime. WHY!? WHY DID THEY TAKE MY SISTER AWAY FROM ME!? i cry and sob for hours.
i get up.
wash my face.
stand up tall.
this is war.
END
REVIEW PLEASE! how was it? any good? :P
