Hello again! Sorry for the long wait! I know that I was supposed to update on Friday… My excuses are that I have a social life, it snowed and my usual writing time was spent snowboarding, and that I've also been VERY lazy… so, anyway sorry again! I would like to thank everyone for the reviews . So, without further ado…

Chapter #4

Katniss POV

I run to the bathroom door and give it a yank, but it doesn't open. It is then that I realize that the door must be locked. So I do the one and only thing I can think of; I break the door down. I start kicking and hitting the door with whatever I can find. After about 15 minutes of this I decide that it is of no use. Just then I get an idea, I run full blast out of the house down the street and to Thresh and Rue's house. When I get there I don't even bother knocking and burst right through their door. Thresh and Rue are sitting at their table eating when I come in, and stand up quickly when they see me and my probably desperate looking face.

"Peeta is hurt in the bathroom with the door locked and I can't get in," I say, and totally break down in front of them. With that Thresh gets up quickly, I sniffle a bit, and run out with tears running down my face, followed by Thresh. When we reach my house Thresh runs straight inside to the bathroom door, and with two kicks has it lying on the floor. Without thinking I push Thresh aside and rush in. For some reason it never occurred to me that people usually take showers naked! I end up running out of the bathroom almost as fast as I came in with my cheeks burning hot. When Thresh sees me he laughs turning my cheeks red like cherries. "Would you please get him out and dress him?" I ask hopefully. "Of course," he says and walks quickly inside and closes the door behind him.

After about a minute Thresh comes out with Peeta dressed in some shorts. I soon notice that Thresh's arms are covered in the blood coming from Peeta's skull. I grab the bandages and wind them around Peeta's head, and pray that he is ok. "Do you think that he will be ok?" I ask Thresh, trying to hide the whimper in my voice and hoping that my tears don't spill out. "He is tough, I'm sure that he will be fine," he assures me as he leaves.

Glancing at the clock next to our bed I notice that it is midnight; I hadn't realized how tired I am until now. After laying Peeta down onto the bed I curl up beside him and fall into a dreamless sleep.

Peeta's POV

Blackness, thick blackness; that is all I can see. I try to break through it, but I can't. I feel myself being lifted up and set on something soft. Along with a warm form beside me, I fall back into the blackness

When I open my eyes once more I immediately feel pain, unbearable pain. Once I take in my surroundings I notice some blood on the floor; "it must be my blood," I think. I instinctively reach up and probe my head with my fingertips. That is when I notice the breathing ball from last night emanating warmth beside me. As Katniss sleeps she looks so peaceful that I just watch her for what I think is over one hour. When she finally opens her eyes she smiles at me lazily; but then jerks up, "You're awake!" she says, excitement clear in her voice. "Are you okay?" she asks. "Well," I say, "Apart from a migraine headache, a sore neck, and throbbing toes, I feel just dandy," I say lightheartedly. Katniss chuckles to herself, and then says, "You Mr., scared the heck out of me! Don't you ever do that again"!

"Yes ma'am", I say with a Capitol accent.

"Shut up", says Katniss as she hops out of the bed. I close my eyes and decide to get some more sleep but Katniss seems to have other plans. The blankets fly off the bed and before I know it, I'm being dragged off the bed and onto the floor with a loud thud. "Get up lazy bones," Katniss calls over her shoulder as she runs down the hallway laughing her head off.

I get up quickly to chase her but feel lightheaded and grab the wall for support. When I feel steady again I change my clothes and walk out of the room and pad slowly down the hallway into the kitchen. Katniss is sitting at the table with her back facing me calmly eating some cereal that I didn't know we had. I creep quietly behind her and poke her in the ribs. She yelps, jumps; knocking her cereal on the floor, spins around and gives me a death glare. I grab her sides, smirk and then start tickling her mercilessly.

When I finish tickling she gives me a glare, "Don't you ever do that again, or I swear; I will kill you " she gasps, completely out of breath. "I'll keep that in mind," I say smiling.

With that we both decide to clean up our mess and eat breakfast. "Katniss"? I ask after we start eating our cereal. "What" she says with the food in her mouth almost falling out. "Where did all this food come from?" I inquire. "A hole opened up in the ceiling last night and the food came down on a big tray," she says as if it is as simple as going to the market and buying it.

After eating and cleaning up we go for a walk and run into someone. "Sorry," Katniss says, "I wasn't looking where I was going. "It's no problem dear," she says kindly. "What is your name by the way," she inquires. "Katniss Everdeen," she says, "and yours?" asks Katniss. The middle-aged woman replies, "Maysilee, Maysilee Donner.
