I open my eyes and he isn't there. I look around and there's no sign of him as if he never existed. "Peeta" I yell a few times before a small girl with beautifully braided blonde hair walks out of a room and stares at me confused. PRIM! My mind races, my hands go numb, I can't believe what I'm seeing, but I can't really be seeing it, can I? There's no way. NO WAY! She died and I was there I saw it all happen that dreadful night. I look into her so real blue eyes and know I must be dreaming. A feeling inside me grows and all of a sudden I know exactly what day it is. It's the day of the reaping. I glance at Prim then ask "Did I compete in the games?" and by the look on her face I can tell something isn't right about what I asked. "Are you kidding me?" She snaps back, something I wasn't expecting and jump a little from it, "Of course you didn't, and if you did and lived we wouldn't be living in this place. And who's Peeta? Is he some boy you like at school?" her questions run out of her like a river, quick and unstoppable. I look at her with tears in my eyes and I can't stop myself from embracing her in a hug for what feels like forever.

I leave her standing in the upstairs hallway confused and rush out of the house to find Gale. My first instinct tells me to go to the meadow and slip under the fence, but I remembered the new peacekeeper has it on 24/7 and I have to find another way. But when I approach the fence in the meadow I don't hear the hum not even the slightest bit and I realize something I should of before. I've gone back in time! Before my entire life changed and I now have the chance to change it my way. I slip under the fence with ease and find my bow and arrows as if I never stopped and shot the first animal I find about 100ft into the forest. It isn't long before I find Gale sitting down in an open area and I remember our whole conversation from before, but this time I know what we're going to do.

I plop myself down right next to him, close enough to watch his grey eyes glisten in the morning sunrise. He looks off into the distance and I know he's thinking, but what about? I push his shoulder and ask "What's up with you?" he slowly turns his head as if he doesn't want to lose sight of the distant trees "Nothing I just don't want you to get picked. You're in there too much and I don't know what I would do if you got picked." I turn away from his sharp eyes because I know what should happen, but I won't let it this time. He continues to speak and I know what's coming up and I'm ready for it. "We should run away, you me and our families. Just leave the reaping behind and everything else." Him saying this brings relief to me for some reason and I feel a smile creep up onto my face "Ok" I say with no hesitation "Lets do this right now and I know where to go". The look on his tells me he didn't expect such a response and I don't care. "We need to go to district 13 and I don't care what you say, we are going". He nods and I know my plan is in action. Even without being a celebrity I can start an uproar, but I need 13's help and I know how to get it. "We leave now"!
