Soulmate

by mockinjay14

A hundred years after the Capitol was defeated by the rebels, Peeta Mellark, a young baker who dreams of being a painter moves into the Victor's Village. Into a house that is said to be haunted by the ghost of Katniss Everdeen, the leader of the rebellion. But that's just a legend. Right? I don't own The Hunger Games or any of it's characters.

Chapter 1

(Peeta)

"Peeta," my Dad calls. "Are you sure you want to move out now?"

"Yes, Dad." I say. He walks into my room looking defeated.

"But you're my youngest, once you move out, it will be like you're all grown ups now." he explains.

"You didn't complain when Graham and Rye moved out." I say.

"The moved out to get married," he says. "I couldn't do much to stop them. You're moving out for no reason."

"There is a reason," I say. "Since Rye and Graham moved out, I've been mother's only punching bag left."

"But-" he starts.

"I'm eighteen, Dad, I'll be fine," I say.

"But do you have to move into that house?" he asks. "It gives me the creeps."

"I already bought it," I say. "And it happens to be my dream house." I pick up my bags and leave my old room. My Dad follows me into the hallway.

"Can I at least help you bring your things over?" he asks.

"Yeah," I say.

We head to the old Victor's Village in silence. I've had my eye on the house for years now. People have moved in and out, and so I had to buy it. Because Katniss Everdeen used to live there.

There's a legend, that her ghost still haunts that house, but I believe it's just a old wives tail used to scare people away, at one point, they wanted to make it museum.

Katniss Everdeen saved all of Panem when she ended The Hunger Games. It's been a hundred years since then and, and a lot has changed. I know it was a dark time for anyone alive back then. Katniss is my hero.

When we get to the house, my Dad stops. "I... better get back to the bakery." he says. "If... anything... strange happens in there... promise me you'll leave."

I nod. "Bye, Dad."

"Buy, son," and he goes back into town.

I take a deep breath and open the door.

Thank you for reading the first chapter of Soulmate! I've been working on this story for a few months now, I've finished writing it, and I'll be posting new a new chapter twice a week throughout the summer.
