A/N: Second Chapter up in 2 days! Expect another one tomorrow or Monday! Vote on my poll, I'm stuck deciding between two choices. Enjoy(:
Peeta POV
I get up from the dining table, "Have a good night," I mutter to everyone.
I walk out the door, and walk to the stairs.
"Stop," Mina's voice demands.
I look at her exasperatedly, "What!" I respond.
She walks closer to me with a lustful smile on her face, and her blue eyes sparkling.
She looks me up and down, and begins running to me.
She throws her arms around me and starts kissing me passionately.
Her hands go to my pants, and she begins to unbutton them.
"Stop," I yell, and push her away.
She flies to the other wall, and crumples down on the floor making a loud bang.
Footsteps come out of the dining room, and to the same very hall that we are in, "Everything ok?" Rye asks.
Mina quickly stands up, and fixes her hair, and folds out the creases in her skirt, "Yeah, we were just busy," she answers mysteriously.
My brother just raises his eyebrows, shrugs, and heads back to the dinner.
I walk over to Mina with my arms crossed, "Do whatever you want. Tell whomever you want, just get out of my life," I say.
She stands there expressionless, "Oh, I will, just keep in mind that you'll always be mine Peeta. Always," she says.
She turns around and goes back to the dining hall without another word.
I sigh. I'll never be able to get rid of her now, she's now going to be 'family'. She'll be my 'sister'. I can't believe it. Out of all the girls in District 12 Jonah had to pick the one with the devilish sister. I should be happy for Jonah, not wishing bad upon his new engagement, but I can't I have to spend the rest of my life with her.
I walk up the stairs and to my room, and lay on my bed stare at the ceiling and think to myself.
Katniss Mellark. It has a nice ring to it, not like Katniss Hawthorne.
I wonder if Katniss has feelings for Gale, I mean, they do spend a lot of time together, especially when they go hunting. But then again, it seems like Gale would die for Prim, so he wouldn't necessarily be coming back right?
I hear footsteps coming to my door. My father walks in, "Come join us for desert Peeta," he says.
I shake my head, "I don't wanna see her," I respond.
"Just stick through it, finish this dinner and you'll be done with her," he responds.
"How will I be done with her? Now she's related to me," I retort.
"If you don't come now, you're mother will come up angry," he says wistfully.
I groan, get off the bed, and follow my father downstairs.
As we enter the dining room the scowl on my face turns into a fake smile.
"It's nice for you to be join us again," Mr. Relsin welcomes me back.
"Yeah I was… just doing homework," I reply.
I take my seat which is right next to Mina.
My father brings out a cake, one that I have iced.
It reads: Congrats Jonah and Astra!
"Oh my, its beautiful. Who did it?" Mina hums in appreciation.
"Peeta," my strangely happy mother replies.
Luckily, Mina doesn't even turn to her left to acknowledge me, she just sits in her seat waiting for her slice of cake.
My father cuts the cake into nine slices, and gives one to each of us.
"This is delicious, thanks Mr. Mellark," Astra compliments.
We all quickly finish the slice, "How about we go watch some of the games," Mrs. Relsin proposes.
We all nod in agreement, and together we walk to the TV room.
Now, there are only thirteen, twelve left to go.
The screen blinks on and immediately shows us the careers, two of which who appear to be amidst an argument.
"YOU TOOK MY KNIFE, AND LOST ME MY KILL," The District 4 girl Ariane yells to her district partner.
The District 4 boy, Lakin is much calmer then Ariane, "I killed the District 10," he responds calmly.
"Yeah. YOU. Not ME," she fires back.
She grips her knife tighter, runs at him, and slits his throat.
His cannon goes off.
Ariane turns back to the careers, "One less," Marvel says.
The careers shrug off the kill of Lakin, and continue on with their hunt.
"SHH! I hear something," Glimmer demands.
The careers fall quiet, and Glimmer points over to the bush which the noise came from.
The careers quietly approach the bush, weapons ready.
Glimmer pushes back the bush and scowls in disappointment, "Nothing, just some squirrels," she reports to the rest of the careers.
They sigh, and trudge on through the rest of the forest.
They walk for five minutes before anyone starts to realize what's following them, "The squirrels, they're mutts," Glimmer cries.
The squirrels start chasing them, baring their buck teeth. Clove manages to scurry up a tree, only to be followed by more blood thirsty squirrels. Glimmer runs to the lake, and submerges herself just in time. Marvel, and Cato are using their swords to kill every squirrel that crosses their path. Ariane, weaponless is being eaten alive by the squirrels. Her last weapon was stuck in the body of Lakin, her district partner.
The careers all go to the lake, and regroup, with no thoughts lingering on their ex alliance member.
The screen switches to Rue, who's sitting high up in a tree in the forest not far from the careers. She's eating some berries from a bush nearby.
The screen switches to Thresh, who's amidst bread bushes. He's eating some bread, and sharpening his knife against a rock, with an anxious look upon his eyes.
The screen switches to Laza the District 8 girl, who's in a cave bundled in a sponsor sent sleeping back.
Next it goes to the District 5 girl, Aislee, who's still sleekly hidden in the cornucopia.
Finally, it goes to Gale, and Prim, the only other non career alliance. Together, they are in cave, Prim is sleeping, and Gale is on watch, anxiously, and fearfully looking out to the darkness.
The anthem plays, and my father switches the TV off.
As soon as he does Mina walks to the front of the room, "I've got an announcement," she declares.
