Hi guys, thanks for deciding to read my first fan fiction. Please read and review, I really appreciate all comments, even if they include any criticism. Thanks, Clato9tails.
Peeta's POV
How can I help loving someone? I mean, Katniss is great and all, but the only thing she does is ignore me. I knew it when I heard her sing at school for the first time. I knew it when she smiled. I knew it when she waved at Gale before they went hunting in the woods. I thought she knew it when she saved me in the arena. But I was wrong. So wrong that I risked my life for her.
I'm sitting here in this dark room. I hear screams of torture next door. Then it stops. Someone else's life ruined for ever. It's me next. I know it is. But then just before the nearly silent footsteps reach my door, there's a shot, a scream, and I know they're gone. A chink of light enters the room. I see a face I recognise, Gale. Someone else pushes past him and stumbles into the room. I can't see who it is, but I can hear their raspy breath. They stagger through the darkness and then I feel their callused hand on my skin and the stench of alchohol in their breath. I smile and instantly know who I'm dealing with.
"Haymitch, what are you doing? Is there anyone in here or not?"
"Open the door more and you'll be able to see for yourself!"
I hear the door scrape along the floor and I am blinded by the sudden flare of light. I see Gale's eyes widen and he comes running towards us. Haymitch chuckled behind me, but then suddenly gasped.
"Gale what do you think you are doing!"
"Err – coming to say hi?!"
Then I realised. Silently the door was closing. And none of us would be able to reach it in time.
So what will happen to them? The next chapter will be Johanna's POV, so please tell me what you think, criticisms welcome. Any great ideas for future chapters. I want to know what you think.
Love you guys, Clato9tails ;)
