Part 2
The Secrets You Hide
Chapter 4- Surprises
3 months. Thats how long me and Peeta have been dating. 3 whole months filled with pure bliss and happiness. Some annoyance has happened and some strange things have happened.
Example: A week ago me and Peeta were walking down the street, like we normally do, when a car skidded towards us because of the slippery rode. My first thought was to pull Peeta behind me and brace for impact. I'm a vampire after all, if I get hurt we heal quickly. So anyway the car was coming close to us but it suddently, stopped right in front of Peeta. It was the weirdest thing ever but at least Peeta didn't get hurt.
Weird things always happen in this town so I didn't worry about it to much. Peeta acts nervous all the time, it makes me want to strangle him. But gladly I don't.
I wake up and notice that Peeta is next to me. He must have sneaked out of the house and came here in the middle of the night. He does that a lot and it doesn't bother me. I silently get up and go put on an t-shirt and some shorts and walk downstairs. When I make it to the bottom stairs, Marvel appears out of no where.
"Hello, sister dearest," He greets
"Hi," I say
"You know what I've noticed?" He asks
"What?"
"You don't smile until you see Peeta," He smirks
"No, I don't!" I scowl
"Sister dearest, you do. I can tell Peeta makes you very happy. You used to sit in a corner all day acting deperessed,"
"Well I wasn't. I smile all the time, I'm not that dark of of vampire,"
"Thats what you think," He says walking out of the room. Marvel is so strange. I roll my eyes and then go into the kitchen. I grab a drink, not a regular drink, and drink it down. It helps with my thirst.
I throw the drink in the trash can and walk up the stairs to my room again. Peeta is still asleep. I glance at him before going to my bookshelf and grabbing a book. Time passes by quickly when you read. I've read all kinds of books but I always end up rereading them.
I hear Peeta move around in the bed 30 minutes later. I can sense that he's awake. Finally.
I walk to my bed and I reach over to give Peeta a good morning kiss. He finally opens his eyes. I can finally see his gorgeous, blue eyes. I'm not exaggerating when I say Peeta's eyes are very blue. If you ever looked into them you would probably be mesmerized by them. I know I am.
"Morning Sunshine," I smirk
He runs his eyes and smiles at me. "Good morning Kat," He says pulling me into another kiss.
"What time did you come here last night," I ask
"About 1 am,"
"Thats so late. What made you get up at 1 am to come here?"
"You," He says kissing my neck
"Well it looks like we can spend a day together doing stuff," I sigh
"I rather just stay in here and do stuff," He smirks
"What kind of stuff? We got English Homework to do, or would you rather just makeout all day," I smirk
"The second option," He says then connects his lips on mine.
"I'm looking for Katniss Everdeen?" I hear someone say.
Some rang the doorbell and Haymitch answered it. I would've gone downstairs, but you see... Me and Peeta were kinda busy.
"Shes upstairs in her room. First door to the right," He tells her
I hear her coming up the stairs quickly. Then I hear a knock on my door, and the lady opens the door.
She looks 17, has chocolate skin, and pretty curly hair. She looks familiar.
"Katniss Everdean! I've been looking for you half of my life time. Remember we were bet friends back in the old slave days except I served your people," She talks
I look at her for a second and then suddenly know who she is.
"Rue?" I ask standing up. "I thought you were dead, I haven't seen you since you were sold from the plantation?" I say surprised
"Yea they sold me and then they beat the crap out if me the first few months and passed me on to the next. Then a slave owner to a liking to me when I was 16 and raped me and got pregnant but my baby died. It was not a fun life style back then," She says with a straight face
"Im so sorry Rue," I apologize
She shrugs. "Nothing to be sorry about. It wasn't your fault I was put through that,"
Thats when she notices Peeta. She has wide smile. "Well I never would've thought that Katniss Everdeen would have herself a boyfriend!" She laughs
"Is it that hard to believe?" I say mockingly. "Anyway how did you turn?" I ask
"Mrs. Lily on the plantation I worked on was a vampire who was killing all the white people who disrespected the black slaves. So when I lost my baby and the guy who raped me gave me a hard time she killed him and convinced me to turn and join her coven," She explains. She sits on a chair by my desk. "You should meet my family. They helped me find you,"
"Well I will one day but at the time I'm a little busy," I say glancing at Peeta
She looks at Peeta and says "Im surprised you can handle this girl, she is hard to talk to," She jokes
"I've had experience with that," Peeta tells her
I scowl. "Ok we all know I'm hard to handle, blah blah blah. Rue Im so glad to finally see you again but I will talk to you later," I say pushing her out of my room.
"I'll see you later Katniss!"
I close the door behind me.
"Alright, where were we?" I smirk
"Have you ever felt like a danger to the boy?" Marrisa asks me
I shrug. "Sometimes. I think I can handle myself around him by now. I mean we've been dating for 3 months,"
"Oh Katniss," She shakes her head. "You may think you can but one day you're going to be so intrigued that you won't be able to handle yourself," She looks at me sadly
I shake my head. "I haven't bitten any humans in months, I'll be fine,"
We're silent for a while.
"Well, have you ever thought of turning him? I mean yum sure that he is going to feel that since you'll look young forever and he's gonna grow old, that you may not love him anymore," She tells me
"I don't want him to be a damn monster like us! Think about it. We kill people or animals for their blood and we are a danger for human life. We're horrible creatures,"
"Do you think we have much of a choice to become vampires. You think about this. Either our coven leaders find us dying and they change us or they convince us if we have a shitty life. We need damn blood to survive, do you think I like killing humans? We were once humans, it's hard when you can't control yourself. So no we are not horrible creatures on this earth, were just misunderstood," She say seriously before walking away from me.
Thats when it starts to rain. I put her in a mood. Now she's probably going to make a huge thunderstorm. And that's my fault.
Johanna and Haymitch sit in the kitchen, waiting for me. I throw my bookbag down and sit in a chair.
"What's up?" I ask
"Well Katniss, since you have a human boyfriend, The Elders would like to meet him," Johanna tells me.
I shrug. "Ok,"
"I know you know The Elders are easy going but don't piss them off. Make sure the boy is prepared to meet them," Haymitch says
"Fine. I'll go by Peetas house later," I say getting up.
"To late," Johanna says as the doorbell rings.
"Damn your knowledge of things," I curse at Johanna and go to the door.
Peeta looks distressed. Crap. "Did that woman touch you?" I growl
"No, calm down Katniss," He says hugging me
"Sorry," I mumble on his chest. "What's wrong?" I ask
"I haven't seen you in a week, except for English class," He sighs
"Oh. Umm well let's go to my room," I mumble, taking his hand leading him upstairs. As soon as I close the door, his lips are on mine. I kiss him back but then pull away quickly.
"I have to ask you something," I tell him
"Go for it," He says
I sigh. "Do you ever want to possibly become a vampire?" I mumble
"Not now. Always have wanted to be one since I found out about my uncle Chaff. I want to wait for awhile," He shrugs
"But don't you think vampires are a little... Monstrous?" I ask
He shakes his head. "Depends on what type you are, I guess. You're like a vegetation vampire. You only suck animal blood," He points out
"Yea but in the beginning-" I start
"I know that when you're a new born you don't have much control over yourself. It's not your fault," He tells me
"Whatever," I mumble
I know I am making Peeta frustrated. He sighs. As he sighs my lamp falls over and breaks. That's really strange. No one was by my lamp.
"What the hell?!" I shout
Peeta looks like he's seen a ghost. "Umm, I have to go," He says walking towards my door.
"Wait don't leave," I say running to him and trying to block him. But I hit something, like an invisible wall, and fall back.
"Ow!" I groan. What the hell is going on?
When I manage to get out of my room, Peeta is gone.
"Damn it,"
I walk into school the next day, looking for Peeta. I search everywhere but it's like his scent is all over the place. So instead of finding Peeta, I bump into Rue.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"I go to school here, duh," She smiles
"Have you seen Peeta?" I ask
"Yep," She says
"Well where is he?" I ask getting annoyed
"Oh I'll tell you but I have to warn you Katniss. Peeta is not who he seems to be. He may be good and a human but he is very different and you have to find out about it on your own. But anyway, he went that way," She smiles pointing down the hallway
"Thanks?" I say confused. What the hell did she mean?
I finally spot Peeta by the water fountain. "Peeta!" I grab him.
"Hey Kat," He smiles
"Where have you been I've been looking for you?" I ask
I've been here the whole time," He shrugs
"Why did you leave yesterday?"
"I remembered that I had to check on Prim," He says
I nod. "Come on let's just go to class," I say
Little did I know I was in for a big surprise.
