Chapter 2

{Nina's POV}

I woke up and looked around. I saw Peeta sleeping peacefully next to me. 'He's so cute when he sleeps' I thought to myself. I slowly got up and walked down sairs into the kitchen. "Nina, what are you doing here?" I heard a gruff male voice say. I turned to see Haymitch. "I've been havig nightmares lately and I asked Peeta if I could stay with him and he said yes." I said. Hymitch nodded. "What were these nightmares about?" Haymitch asked.

{Peeta's POV}

"Losing Peeta." Nina told him. "Losing him? How?" Haymitch asked. "Cato killing him with his sword." Nina said she looked down and I saw a tear escape her eyes. "You know Katniss wouldn't let that happen." Haymitch told her. "Katniss died too." Nina said. Haymitch seemed at a losse for words. "Nina, theres something you need to know." Haymitch said. "Peeta and Katniss care about you and Gale too much to die in the Hunger Games." Haymitch said. "But everynight since they got back Gale's been happy, but I havent. The only time I was happy was last night when I was layig wit Peeta with his arms around me." Nina told him.

"You like Peeta." Haymitch said. I looked up at Nina. "No. Not like. Love. I love Peeta Mellark." Nina said. What? Nina loves me? I'm nothing but a stupid baker boy."Why dont you tell him?" Haymitch asked. "I want to but I'm just scard that he wont like me back." Nina said. "You maybe surpried." Haymitch said smiling at her. Nina raised an eyebrow in question. "Morning." I said walking out. "Hey Peeta." Nina said blushing. She then giggled. "What?" I asked. "Your hairss messed up." Haymitch explained. Nina walked up to me and gently started to smooth out my hair. I smiled at nina and pulled her into a hug. My arms went from her waist to her knees and I lifted her up and threw her over my shoulder. "Ahhhh Peeta! Put me down!" NIna exclaimed. I smiled and ran out of my house with her on my shoulder.

I saw Nina's mom nd her younger sibling walk up to Katniss' and Gale's home. "Mommy look Nina's been attacked cane we go help her?" Nina's little sister Posy said. "Go ahead." Mrs. Hawthorne said. Posy ran and jumped on my leg. Rory and Vick ran and tried to get Nina down. I started laughing and I set Nina down just as Gale and Katniss walked out. "What's going on?" Katniss asked. "Gang up on Peeta!" Posy yelled from my leg.

Katniss, Nina and Gale smiled an they started to join Rory Vick and Posy in attacking me. "Ok ok I give up you won." I said. Nina smiled and helped me up. "That was fun Peeta I had fun." Nina told me. I smiled and hugged her. Nina placed her head n my shoulder. "Everyne we need to get ready today's the reaping." Katniss' mother said. Nina looked down and left with her mother. "Ill see you at the reaping Peeta." She said to me.

{Gale's POV}

I looked at my little sister in her pale blue dress. "Gale I'm scared. What if they choose me?" Nina asked. "It's unlikly Nina." I tole her. Nina grabbed my hand as we left the walkd into the squear and signed in. I stood with then adultes while Nina and Rory made their was to their sections. Rory at the 12 year old section Prim at the 13 year old section and Nina at the 17 year old section. Peeta, Katniss and Haymitch all joined the mayor and Effie Trinket on the stage. "Happy Hunger Games and may the odd be ever in your favor." Effie said. "Now our tributes. Ladies first." Effie said walking over to the glass globe containig the female names. She reached her hand in and grabbed a slip. She walked back to the podium and opened it. "Our female tribute is... Nina Hawthorne!" She said. Everyone looke at my sister as she silently made her way to the stage.

"Well done young lady." Effie said. Nina looked at Katniss and Peeta. Her eyes showing the fear that she felt. "Now our male tribute." Effie said. "And our male tribute is David Parks." Effie said. David walked up to the stage. "Lets give these two the best of luck and may the odds be forever in there favor." Effie said. Nina Looked at the crowed before she was carted to the Justice building. I looked at my mom then my little siblings. This isnt good.

{Nina's POV}

We entered the Justice building and David and I were seperated. The door closed behind me and I turned to the door that leads to the outside. Just then the door opens and Posy comes running in. She threw her arms around my neck and held on. "Dont go Nina please dont." She cried into my ear. "I'm sorry baby girl but no one volentreered for me. And pluse better me then Prim." I said. I looked up as the rest of my family and Prim walked in. I set Posy down and I hugged Gale, "Be safe and win." He told me. Rory then hugged me and so did Vick and Prim. "I'll win for you guys and Peeta and Katniss. I promise." I said. "Times up." The Peacekeeper said. My family left then David and I walked on to the tain. We pulled out of the station and I walked into my room. Once I got there I saw Peeta sitting on my bed. He looked up just as I walked through the door.

"Nina I am so sorry that you got reaped." He said. "It's ok. I promised my family that I would win." I told him. "Even if it means killing your childhood friend?" Peeta asked me. He did have a point. David and I grew up together. "I doubt it will be me that killes him." I said. "Your probably right." Peeta said. I looked into his eyes and then I broke down into tears. Peeta's arms encircled me and held me against his chest. "Shh Nina you will be fine." He told me. "But what if I die?" I aksed. "You wont I'll make sure of it." Peeta told me. Just then Haymitch and Katniss appeared in my door way. "Nina you wont die. You know why I know?" Katniss asked me. "Why?" I asked. "Because of your talents." Katniss said.
