Chapter 2 –
Katniss's POV
"Throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other. This person is one you could forever talk to. They understand you in a way that no one else does or even could. This person is your soul mate, your other half. Don't ever let them go, for they're your guardian angel sent from heaven above."
I woke up staring at the white walls of a hospital room. I've always hated hospitals.
When my father died the doctors said 'We tried everything we could but it was his time...' Yeah right they tried everything. To them he was just another patient.
He'd lie in a bed just like mine, white with lots of wires and leavers coming out of the bottom. He hated hospitals too, said that there may be lots of space but there is no-where to get comfortable.0
It's been two hours since I woke and the nurse came in "There's someone to see you."
In walked my Mom, she was once beautiful. Her blond hair and blue eyes were rarely found in people at the seam. She looked much like Prim, my little sister. But today she walked in looking worn but not so beaten down.
"Katniss?" She gasped coming forward arms open and hugging me.
"Mom!" We both shared an embrace and stood staring at each other, only an awkward silence between us.
She started to cry, "Mom, please don't cry."
She looked up "Three months. It's been three months hoping you'll return."
"What happened to me?"
She looked at me weird and said "What?"
"The night I disappeared, what happened to me that night? Does anyone even know who took me?"
She sighed and walked halfway across the room. She started to speak, "No one knows. All the officers have done the investigations but all they know is that you went to the pier the night you went missing"
"Oh, so how far do you think my amnesia went."
"Well the doctors have done a scan and you've forgotten 3 months of your past"
I sighed "And what about that girl. Madge I think her name was?"
"Ah well you met her 2 months ago that's why you don't remember her" there was a pause "You two were such good friends."
It was six hours later and I was ready for my departure from the hospital ward. Madge came to pick me up.
"You ready to roll Catnip."
"Catnip?"
"Yeah that's what I used to call you" I looked at her confused.
"Ok?" I replied. "Anywho, what's been happening at school?"
"Oh well same old same old. Slutty cheerleaders, jocks fucking every girl they see…" I couldn't help but giggle.
I moaned from the tapping sun-light against my face, wondered how long I'd been sleeping. I blinked, shut my eyes, and blinked again. I yawned, managed to fully open both eyes and I lay in bed stroking the soft duvet. Three months...It's been three months without a good sleep in my rightful bed, not that I remember ever leaving.
Determined to do what everyone had told me and forget the whole mess I got out of bed and took a shower. I stepped out of the bath and slipped on my Abercrombie jumper and jeans and made myself downstairs.
Mom was flipping a pancake when I said "Morning."
"Good Moring Sweetheart."
I took a big whiff and looked around the table, "So what are we having for breakfast?"
"Hum, I was thinking pancakes with homemade maple syrup, sunny side up eggs and freshly squeezed orange juice."
"Great! But don't you think I'll be late for school."
She paused and sighed, "Yes about that. I was thinking we'd put school on a hold, just until you make a full recovery. Maybe 2-3 weeks. Just to give you some time to rest and move on."
I grunted "Move On! I'm not dying of cancer or anything!" I paused, "Sorry. It's just that I'm fine and the best way of forgetting what's happened is to go on with my life as normal."
She gave me a funny look "Ok. You can go to school. But I want you to take your phone and contact me the first sign of-"
"Thank you!" I cut her off and shot out the door.
How am I going to get to school? It's a mile away from here. I know, call Madge.
Hey.
Hey Babe
Can u spare a ride 2 class Plz
Pick u up in 10
Me and Madge drove to school in her Mercedes. We both struggled to make conversation so I decided to break the ice, "So, how do you think people will react when they see me?"
She sighed, "Well you know how people are. They'll talk about it for days and they will treat you differently until some other news comes along," she looked at me weird "you do realise the nerd are going to beg friend you"
I gave out a sarcastic "Yay!"
We we're deepened in silence yet again "What was my social life when I left?"
"Social Life? Like what?"
"Erm, I donno. How was I doing in school? Who did I hang out? Is there a special someone in my life? Hint Hint" I was edging out of the car seat.
"Special Someone?" she gave me a confused look "You mean boys right?"
"Well duh! Boy do you know how to get a girl pissed."
"Ok, ok. Calm down, who set your condom on fire!"
"So was I dating anyone you thicko."
She sighed, "Well there was a couple of guys."
"Like who?"
"Like…Marvel…" She laughed.
I looked at her in disgust "Marvel?! The lanky dude that refers to himself as a babe magnet" I said waving my hands making the sarcastic quotation marks with my fingers.
"Yep that's him! I still can't picture you two playing tonsil tennis."
"I Would Never In a Million Years Kiss Marvel!"
"Hold your horses, I'm only kidding."
"You better be kidding."
Peeta's POV
It was another day of school and the first day I'd see Katniss. I can picture it now, I'm waiting by the hall way, leaning against the locker. She'll walk in and I'll say "Hey."
"Hey? What's wrong with saying hi?" Finnick jokes. He's the sort of guy that can make a joke out of anything from light bulb to sex.
I've known Finnick for more than two centuries. We met at the devils horn, a small pub which was a big and I mean a big thing back then.
He's always been on my side and ever since Finnick's been banished to earth for eternity for loving human.
"Dude you know I love you, not gayle though, but you always have to take the piss out of everything. Don't you?"
"Look dude Katniss has amnesia remember thicko. She won't remember you."
I sighed "I know….But if she fell in love with me once she'll do it again."
Katniss's POV
Have you ever had that moment when you walk into a room and it's obvious that that person has just been talking about you? Yes? Have you ever had it happen two hundred times in a row? I have.
It was all because of the accident. I felt like some sort of stranger.
Madge looked at me and realising what was wrong she said "Don't give a shit about what they think? There all bitches. They'll forget once some other news comes along like teacher seen drunk or something…."
Madge did a good job ditracting me through out the day with her sex jokes. Reminded me of someone I knew but I couldn't put my finger on it.
During lunch I had a lot of people staring at me and then looking away to talk to their friends about me. Those retarded bitches didn't know what was coming their way.
Although soon later there someone else staring at me. Well he wasn't really looking at me in a bad way; more admiring my features if that's not too vain.
His ashy blond hair waves over his forehead. Not forgetting his indulgent blue eyes glimmering in the sunlight. He was looking straight at me.
I had sudden burst of realisation that I was staring out him, mouth open and basically drooling. I could not be lamer.
I started walking faster ignoring all of my surroundings, I just wanted to get away, and there was something about him that gave me the creeps.
Soon after I saw him again, leaning against what looked like the same tree only moved a few meters. He started walking towards me and spoke, "Hi," he said with his sexy yet soft voice.
I looked down and put a strand of my hair behind my ear. I made a small gesture and started walking.
Peeta's POV
She was getting away, but I needed to talk to her. There were things going through her mind that I couldn't even imagine.
I needed to explain but she on the other side of the cafeteria now.
I know! A simple freezing spell, I know it's been a long time but I still remember how to do it.
Within seconds the whole cafeteria was frozen except for me and Katniss. The silence was unexplainable.
I've only done this a couple of times and It's always ended badly.
She looked back and walked over, "What the fuck did you do?"
Over reaction, I thought. I sighed, "It's called a spell."
"Spell? Humans can't do spells!"
"Well I guess I'm not human then," I said.
There was a pause, "What's your name?" She asked.
"Peeta…" she smirked "What?" I said.
"That sound like a very human name…" she said.
"You don't spell it the same way."
"Whatever!" She said, "Look I don't know who or what you are but I just want to carry on with life as normal, not to be stuck in some kind of freaky time portal thingy."
"Thingy?" I laughed.
"Yeah Thingy!" She paused "I won't tell anyone about your magic or anything just put everything back."
"Calm down I only wanted to tell you something."
"Which Is?"
I started to speak "Look you're in danger! Take your Mom, your friends and anyone else you know and get the hell out of this town."
Her jaw fell slap bang on the floor "What?"
"Look it's for your own safety-" she didn't let me finish before she started to walk away.
"Wait!" I said trying to persuade her to stat, "Katniss!"
She stopped and looked back, "How do you know my name?"
Oh shit…She spoke again "I've never mentioned my name to you before?"
