Peeta's POV in the cave before and after Katniss goes to the feast.
Peeta Talks to her in her sleep. Sweet :) please review :)


Peeta- They just announced the news about the feast. I'm not conceited or anything but I got a feeling Katniss wants to go to get some medicine for me. Oh no, I think to myself. How stubborn can she be! Being stubborn is one of my favourite traits of her but when it involves her life, I have to stop her. I don't want her to risk her life for me. Her look is intense and she's on her feet already. Grey eyes focused into a space of nothing, fists clenched in her sides, She's thinking, I know it. But I won't let her do it. So I stand up and put a hand on her shoulder

"No" I say. "You're not risking your life for me."

She turned around and replied "Who said I was?"

I still wasn't convinced. The argument lasted a few minutes until we had an agreement. I would do everything she tells me to do and she wouldn't go. She gives me the pot full of her soup and I gulp it down fast and lick the bowl to show that I'm keeping my word. Cooking was never her thing though. She goes down the stream for a while and I wait patiently and try to not make any complaints despite the pain on my leg. She comes back with a bowl filled with some stuff and says

"I've brought you a treat. I found a new patch of berries a little farther downstream." I have my suspicions but I had to stick with the deal we made. So I open my mouth wide and she gives me my first bite. They're so sweet; I wonder what kind of berries these are and there is a familiar taste but I can't put my finger on it.

"They're very sweet." I say

"Yes, they're sugar berries. My mother makes jam from them. Haven't you ever had them before?" She asks as she feeds me another spoonful. I have a feeling she's lying.

"No, But they taste familiar. Sugar berries?" Now I'm almost sure she was lying.

"Well, you can't get them in the market much, they only grow wild," She replies, She feeds me another spoon as I try to think but I'm starting to feel light headed.

"They're sweet as syrup," Syrup! I think. Sleep syrup. She's trying to drug me so she can go to the feast. I try my best to spit it all out but she shoves another spoonful and puts her hand over my mouth so I'm forced to swallow. The shadows of sleep take me away.

Ouch! I jerk awake when something sharp jabs me in the arm and I look down to see it was an injection. I pulled it out since all the fluid's gone already. Katniss lies beside me, crumpled. Oh she did it again, risked her life for me but that isn't my priority now. She lies in a pool of blood and a cut above her eyebrow and a cut on her lip. Suddenly I feel much better and I start to take her in my arms and wipe the blood away from her body and bandage her cuts. When I'm done cleaning her up I check her, still breathing but unconscious and it starts to worry me. I put her in the sleeping bag and gently lay her head on my lap, stroking her hair. She mumbles something, I can't understand but I know she isn't regaining consciousness , she's just sleep talking.

"Katniss," I say even though I know she can't hear me "Don't leave me Katniss, I need you, Stay with me." I caress her hair

"Always." She answers as if she could hear me

"I Love You." I say
