Well I desided to post this instead of waiting for me to finish Chapter five and six. XD. So here is Chapter four in Katniss's point of view and i'll warn you Peeta haters that there is Peeta and Katniss romance in here but then a letter from Gale XD.
I wake up with a start. The rush of nightmares had interrupted my once peaceful sleep. The worse part about the nightmares was that they were once reality. Images of Glimmer dyeing, hearing Finnick's last scream, and Peeta's hands around my neck hunted my dreams. I look at the time. 3.56. I sigh and rest myself back into a sleeping position. At first I fight against the sleepiness that tries to drag me under until I let it take me. This time the dreams aren't as bad.
(Start of dreams)
I'm in a deep cave or something underground. I press my hands against the dusty walls. I turn the corner and see my father's face. My eyes grow wide and I try to scream but no words come out. Then it happens. The mine explodes. Tears run down my face as I watch my father get blown up. And then I'm thrown into another memory. I'm 12 years old and I'm in the woods. I know the memory before it has time to show me what it is. It's the first time I met Gale. I walk along the path that the time was so strange to me. Then I find the traps. Instinctively my hands reach up towards them. "Stealing's illegal you know." The deep voice says. I would smile if the memory would let me instead I turn around to see the 14 year old boy form of Gale. "I was just looking." I say quietly. He looks me over before asking. "What's your name?"
"Katniss." I squeak
"Catnip?" he says raising his eyebrow.
"Katniss." I say speaking up.
Before the memory is finished, I'm thrown into an endless chain of memory after memory with Gale.
I feel a hand shaking my slightly. I link open my eyes to see Peeta. "Peeta?" I say confused. "Sorry about our fight." He sighs brushing my hair away from my forehead. "Invite Gale if you haven't already." He says biting his lip. I nod my head still looking at him.
"Haymitch let me in." He chuckles at my confusion. I nod and look at my hands. "You looked like you had a nice sleep." He smiled. I nod.
"What were your dreams about?" he asks me.
"At first they were nightmares but then I woke up and fell back asleep to no dreams." I lie to him. There was no way I could tell him that I was dreaming about Gale.
"You were smiling in your sleep, what were your dreams about?" Peeta asks.
"My old life." I sigh.
"So Gale." Peeta frowns.
I bit my lip but nod. Peeta nods but with a frown. "Thought so." he murmured. I reach my hand up and touch his face lightly. He grabs my hand gently and plants a kiss on it. I smile. He smiles noticing my smile and leans down and kisses me on the lips and I kiss him back. He pulls away first but keeps his forehead pressed next to mine. "I'm sorry about Friday… You shouldn't have to deal with me not wanting you to invite people to your wedding." He sighed.
I pause. "What have you been every Thursday night?" I ask.
"I told you, I like to go see the trains come in." He laughs.
I look at him for a while but then nod. He gently presses his lips to mine again. I kiss him back. As I pull away I smile. Peeta cups my face gently and pulls me back. I laugh before it's cut off by Peeta's lips. I pull away as I hear a knock on the door.
I look up to see Haymitch. "I see you two made up." Haymitch grumbles. I nod. Peeta gets up and walks out of the room while we talk. Haymitch throws a letter at me. "I'd hide the letter from Peeta unless you told him about your letter to Gale." Haymitch says. I nod and look down at the letter to read who it's from, even though I already know. Gale. I hear Peeta coming back and shove the letter under a pillow. Peeta stands behind Haymitch and leans on a wall. "Well I'll leave you two alone now." Haymitch says. "Ok and thank you for telling me about mom." I say. Haymitch nods and says "Anytime." That's the thing about me and Haymitch. Peeta may be his favorite, but I and he are too alike.
As soon as Haymitch walks down the stairs, Peeta walks into the room and sit across from me on the bed. "What was that about?" He asks. "Oh, Mom called him to tell him she wanted to know how I was and to tell me she is district two." I say.
"And anything else?" Peeta asks me.
I shake my head and look at the clock. 11:20. "Look at the time." I say. "You have to go to the bakery in ten minutes."
He nods and looks at the clock. He frowns slightly and pulls me into a long kiss. He pulls away. "I love you, Katniss." He says.
"Love you too." I say a small smile beginning because that was the first time he had said those words in two months. He leans in and kisses me again. He pulls away and gets up and walks to the door. He stops at the door. "You staying here or come over tonight." He asks, leaning against the door. "I don't know." I say shrugging. He nods and leaves. I hear the door shut and grab Gale's letter. I open the letter excitedly.
Dear Catnip,
It's been SO long since I've seen you last. Or even heard from you. Yes I've seen Annie and Finnick's son. When I go to see Prim's monument I go and see her. And yes I'll leave flowers for her. How's your life? How are you really? How is everyone there? How are you holding up without any of your family there? How were you when you first got to district two? What happened to Buttercup? How is Greasy Sae? How is Peeta? How is your relationship with him? How is he treating you? How is life? How is everything? I want to know. You interest me for some reason. Yes I got your invention and I don't know if I want to go. It's hard to see you two on the TV let alone see you get married in person… not that I won't already see it. I mean I bet your wedding will be on every television channel if they can get in. When did you read my letters and why did you? I never thought you would. I mean I was once your friend but let's be honest, after I moved to district two, I turned into an echo of your past.
Love always
Gale
When I get done reading tears are coming down my face slowly. Only Gale can make me cry now that Prim's dead. Sure Peeta could make me cry but that was from pain not the happiness that the tears I cry from Gale carry. I hold the letter to my chest not even hearing or caring that Haymitch is sitting down next to me. "Happy or sad?" he asks me.
"Happy, I never thought I'd hear or read someone calling me Catnip again." I say smiling. I fall on my back on the bed, the letter still clutched against my chest. Haymitch holds out his hand. I roll my eyes but place the letter in his hands. He reads it an hands it back to me, shaking his head. "What?" I say sitting up.
"That boy is still in love with you." He says taking a drink from a bottle I didn't notice he had before.
"You really think so?" I ask him, holding out my hand for the bottle.
"Yup." He say, sighing as he hands me the bottle.
I take a rink and hand it back to Haymitch. "But what about Bella?" I ask him.
"Tried to move on, he saw your wedding announcement, got upset, she found out he was still in love with you and didn't like it." He shrugged taking a sip from the bottle and handing it back to my extended hand.
I shrug. "Makes since." I say and then take a long sip from the bottle. I laugh as I see Haymitch inpatient face as he holds out his hand for the bottle. I hand him the bottle witch he drinks from. "But what if he does still love me?" I ask him.
"Then you have to choose, Gale or Peeta?"
"But I don't love Gale.
"Stop lying to me." Haymitch says looking at me. "I know you do."
I nod. "Got me." I laugh. He chuckles with me.
"What were your dreams about? I mean after your nightmares." Haymitch asks me.
I grin. "Gale."
Haymitch sighs and shakes his head.
