A/N: Easter has come. But I don't celebrate Easter, I only care about the Peeps! That's right, I'm eating Peeps while I write this.
It is scientifically proven that if you eat sugar while writing, then your writing will be better.
Okay, that's a lie, it took me like ten minutes to write this, because I'm typing with one hand and holding the Peep with the other. D:
Okay, let's write this chapter! :)
P.S. If you eat a whole Peep at once, then it will taste like chemicals in your mouth. Bleh!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.
Chapter 2- Katniss POV
We leave for the Capitol in a month, so Peeta and I have been training everyday. So far we have just been doing push-ups, shooting practice, and weight lifting. But today we are doing something a little different... running. I'm okay with running, but it might be a little tough for Peeta with his prosthetic leg and all.
"Come on, Peeta!" I encourage him on the running track, it is located above District 13, outside. "You can do it!" He is bending over, trying to catch his breath. It is pouring rain out here.
Johanna runs up next to us. "What's wrong with him?" She asks sarcastically.
"He's just taking a break." I say, glaring at her. "Why are you stopping? Is something wrong?" I ask, mockingly.
"Just making sure bread boy wasn't dying." She mocks and continues her run. I roll my eyes.
"Come on, Peeta!" I grab his hand to pull him along, he starts running with me, but slowly. It makes me wonder how he was able to make it through two Hunger Games and not be able to run a mile. So I ask him.
"Peeta, you made it through two Hunger Games, you can do this."
"Okay." He huffs. "I'm coming."
I continue to pull him along, until we've run the whole mile.
"See?" I say. "That wasn't too bad."
"Yeah." He laughs. "For you." I roll my eyes, but laugh along with him.
"You ready for lunch?" I ask.
"I'm starving." He smiles. I give him a small smile. We go to the cafeteria, get our food, and then sit at the table we were assigned to, with Prim and my mother.
"Was training fun?" Prim asks.
Peeta and I glance at each other, and then say together "No."
"They started training me to be a doctor!" Prim beams.
"Prim, that's great!" I gasp. I can't believe my little duck is going to be a doctor.
"That's amazing, Prim!" Peeta says. "Congratulations."
"Thank you!" She says. Delly comes over to sit down with us.
(By the way, I don't like Delly AT ALL! So prepare to see a bad guy. Not bad bad, but not good.)
I roll my eyes as she takes a seat right next to Peeta. She is always trying to get Peeta to 'hook up' with her, even when I'm right there. I think it's extremely rude. I mean, at least wait until I'm gone to flirt with him. Not that I want her to be flirting with him at all, it's just that when you do it right in front of a person, then it gets personal.
"Hey, Peeta." She says, flirtatiously.
"Oh... hi, Delly." He says back.
"Got any plans today?"
"Yeah, I was going to spend the day with Katniss."
"Why?"
"Why what?" He asks, does he really not see what she's doing!
"Why spend the day with her? I'm here."
"Um... Katniss, let's go." He says, getting up, and pulling me along. I know Peeta won't let her get to him, but it really ticks me off that she would even try. She knows as well as I do that Peeta is in love with me, it's been like that for over ten years.
I eye Peeta as we walk to his compartment. He doesn't look at me until we're about half way to his room.
"What?" He asks, politely.
"Is there something going on between you and Delly?" I ask.
"Of course not! Your the only person I love. I promise." He stops mid in his tracks. "Look at me." He takes my face into his hands. "There is no one other than you that I love and there never will be. Do you believe me?" I nod and he kisses me on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you too." I say, as we continue walking to his compartment.
…...
Later that day, Peeta and I are called to Command, we're not sure why, but it probably has to do with the rebellion. We walk down to Command, hand in hand.
When we get there the room is filled with people. We see Coin, Haymitch, Finnick, Boggs, Cressida, the camera crew, and a bunch of people we don't know.
"Soldier Everdeen, Soldier Mellark, how nice of you to join us. Please, take a seat." Coin directs us.
We take a seat next to each other near Haymitch and Finnick.
"Now, let's get down to business." Coin jumps right into it. "President Snow has agreed to surrender."
There are gasps from everyone in the room. Questions are being thrown everywhere, but Coin raises her hand to silence the group, and instantly the room is silent.
"But, he will only do it under one condition. It's a risky one, but I think we can all agree it's worth it." Coin says.
Everyone in the room has a confused look on their face, but mine is by far the most confused. What could be big enough to end a war.
"For this war to end we must," Coin goes on. "Hand our Mockingjay over to the Capitol."
A/N: I have a few things to say.
One, don't hate me for hating Delly and making her a bad guy.
Two, don't hate me for hating Coin and making her a bad guy.
Three, don't forget to review.
Four, have a great day!
