Chapter 9:
My eyes open to the sound of screams, the footstep soon follow. I wait knowing that I will be unable to prevent what they are going to do to me.
"Get Up!" The hissing voice demands me to do the impossible. I try knowing that disobeying will only land me in a more serious pain than they already had planed fore me. I test my left leg and instantly fell to the cold hard ground. Sinister laughter fill the room as my tormentors see how week I truly am.
After more failed tries to stand on my own they got bored at my pathetic attempt and one of the monsters came over to help me. There sink was so cold, that I shudder at contact.
"Come, you need to eat we don't want you to die on us, that wouldn't be any fun now would it."
They lead me out of the room that has served as my jail cell for I don't know how long into a long hallway. My leg is hurting so bad that I counted how many doors there were on each side. Counting the doors did nothing for the excruciating pain that I felt. As the pain took over I slowly slipped into the blackness.
My eyes snapped open to the sound of someone entering my room and immediately snapped them back shut, and wait for the hissing voice.
"How are we today?" It wasn't the hissing voice I was expecting but the words did come out a little slurred. And the past few months come flooding back to me.
"Okay I guess considering you are making me bring my nightmares to the front of my mind when I have been trying to block them out completely."
"Ah another nightmare? Anything we can use this time."
"Maybe, does the number of doors in a hallway mean anything to you?"
"Finally we got something other than screams out of you how many?"
"You answer my question first, how's Katniss?"
"Maybe you should ask her yourself now how many?"
"Thirteen, and are you actually going to let me out to go and see her?"
"Now who said anything about that?" Haymitch quickly left the room so I couldn't yell at him for tricking me."
The door opened for a second time. Frustrated I yell "Haymitch, you really must have a lot of guts coming in here after your stupid stunt." Laughter filled the room, not the laughter of that stupid drunk I have come to dislike so much, beautiful laughter, laughter that I would recognize anywhere.
"I have a message form Haymitch, he said he wasn't going to let you out, he said nothing about me coming in to see you."
Katniss came and lay down next to me, resting her head on my chest. The warmth form her body immediately got rid of the memory of the horrible dream. I warm my arms around her waist and pull her closer, not knowing how much time they will let her stay with me, I don't want to waist a second of the time we do have.
"Katniss?"
"What Peeta." Her voice could pull me out of my worst moods.
"How are you?" I couldn't help but ask.
"I'm great thanks for asking."
"I love you."
"I love you too Peeta."
I move so we are on the same eye level and lean in for a kiss. This has not been like any of our other kisses, Is one is filled with passion, I feel her put her arms around my neck and pull me closer, I do the same with her waist. All too soon she pulls her lips away from mine, I knew the kiss couldn't last forever but one can hope. Instead of pulling away completely, her lips just moved down to my neck kissing me ever so lightly. Again she pulls away resting he head on my chest once more.
The kiss was amazing but, I would give anything if it meant I could hold her in my arms forever. I look into her dull gray eyes and can't help smiling, she is so perfect and all mine. I cradle her in my arms and within minutes she is asleep. I wasn't in the least bit tired so I just looked at her beautiful face.
I don't know how but I woke up to the morning sun on my face and a beautiful girl once again in my arm. I smile as see her eyes open and the smile that is on her face as she see me.
"Morning lovely."
"Good morning."
"You know I love you right?"
"Oh course I do Peeta. You know that I love you too right?"
Instead of answering with words I lean down and give her a slow kiss. We laugh at our joy in each other's company, when it suddenly came to me. I pulled her off the bed and I and set her gently on her feet. She gave me an questioning look. I pretended that my bad leg wehnt out and got down on one nee.
"Peeta are you okay?"
"That depends on your answere, Katniss will you marry me."
