The walk to Haymich´s house is silent. Peeta and I walk hand by hand. Peeta and I walk deep in thought.
Soul mates it's just a word! What´s so dangerous about it?
The capitol forbids it at least that´s what Haymich said to me. If they caught you saying I think it was 20 lashes. Peeta states.
Just like the song . I thought.
When we arrive to Haymich house , I stared at it shocked. It´s huge , luxurious , my house in the seam can fits more than five times.
"Why were you given a bigger house?" I asked.
"Believe me sweetheart , I´ll do anything for a house like yours," Haymich said.
I looked at Peeta and he shrugged.
He never liked this house, He hated bringing me over must of the times he took me to the stores or to the meadow.
He took you to the meadow? I said with my eyebrow raised.
Some times when he wanted to tell me important things but he did bring me to his house once or twice Peeta summarizes.
When Haymich opens the door , I get even more surprise. Crystal chandeliers , velvet sofas and Mahogany tables. The floor made of wood an there were a few carpets on the floor.
Haymich leads us to the kitchen. We seat in the tables while Haymich serves himself a drink.
"No cameras and recorders here," Haymich mutters.
"Cameras?" I asked.
"Recorders?" Peeta asks ,"You never told me about it."
"Boy if I´d told , you´ll be dead," Haymich says ," Why do you think I didn´t bring you here? They will have killed you. It´s a wonder your still alive."
"Excuse me," Peeta asks shocked.
"Tell me have you heard the soul song?" Haymich says taking a sip of his drink ," At least Katniss should know , knowing Aster Everdeen."
I took the song from my pocket unsure. Maybe this was what he was talking about.
"Is it this?" I asked offering the paper. Haymich took a look at it.
"Read the first verse," Haymich orders Peeta.
"Winter breeze surrounds
Lover boy
Blonde hair he has
As well as blue eyes." Peeta reads.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes , called lover boy by Rye and you were born on January 3°," Haymich says.
Peeta rolls his eyes.
"So there are many blonde, blue eyed boys born in December, "Peeta says though I can notice slight hesitation on his voice. Whatever it is he doesn´t be part of it and neither do I. I want to spent all the time with Peeta.
"And now you sweetheart," Haymich says giving me the paper.
"Don´t call me sweetheart," I scowled.
Haymich dismissed my request and ordered me to read it.
"Spring flowers bloom
For the huntress in gloom
She may seem tough
But she wants to be loved" I read flatly.
"Born in May 8° you are a huntress that has suffered and admit it you wanted someone who loves you, "Haymich says.
"What does this has to do with soul mates ," I asked impatiently.
"Only united they will
Torn them out
And the rest of the people
Will live in peace." Haymich says .
I looked at him. I didn´t understand.
,"When Annika Fielding died an old man told us that we will be saved by this pair of lovers. Their love isn´t common it´s rare. ," Haymich explains, "There will be only one pair. A blonde blue-eyed boy born in winter . He will be remembered as Lover Boy. And the girl will be a huntress but with a hard past and who on the inside she wants to be loved by someone. She will be remembered as The Huntress in Gloom."
"When both of them meet , their love will be so powerful that they will torn the government. Nothing will stop them;" Haymich continues ,"Then war will come and the people in the districts will follow them. And when they win the war people will leave in peace. Do you know who are the soul mates ?"
"They are us," Peeta says ," Makes sense but how will everyone else know?"
"Do you read each other thoughts? Or know where to find each other? Felt pain when you weren´t hurt?" Haymich asks ,"Or when you kissed you saw the sparks flying."
Both of us nodded.
"That´s why soul-bonded and soul-mate and the soul song is forbidden," Peeta says ,"Because they are the proof the Capitol will fall ."
"Exactly, "Haymich says," That´s why it´s a miracle you are alive. They used to kill the blonde boys born in winter."
I gulped and started trembling. Life without Peeta , I shudder . It will be horrible. He completes me .
Peeta wraps his arms around me and I tighten my grip to him. I don´t want to lose him.
"And when they killed the blondes they hoped that killed the girl," Haymich says.
"How?" Peeta and I asked at the same time.
"One soul-mate dies the other one follows immediately no way out of it," Haymich says.
"If they killed me," I said ," Peeta will die too?"
"Basically," Haymich says taking other sip from his glass.
"Nobody can know about us," Peeta says ," They´ll kill us."
"When you receive a big house don´t be surprised," Haymich says ," The bigger your house is the bigger threat you are to The Capitol."
Haymich was a threat to the capitol too?
I didn´t knew
"Thanks for everything Haymich ," Peeta says. He then gives Haymich a 'manly' hug.
"Be careful boy," Haymich says.
"I will," Peeta promises.
Haymich turns to me. He unexpectedly hugs me.
"Take care of the boy and yourself," He whispers.
"I swear I will ," I said.
We walked through the door and head for our new house. With the news of the soul-mates it suddenly becomes clear why I need Peeta. Then it hits me like a ton of bricks : The Capitol will be watching our steps. And if we do a small mistake will be killed. I gulped. But when I feel Peeta´s finger intertwine with my , I suddenly think It's worth it.
