Chapter 10- Training to die

Katniss's POV-

I wake up at dawn, as the sun is just showing its first rays of light. Today is the first day of training. I wipe the sleep from my eyes and hop into the shower. Trying to find some form of humanity in this whole thing,. Like the one on the train there are many different soaps and shampoos to select from. I manage to work out have to have a strawberry shampoo and a mango body wash.

I towel dry my hair and but it into my signature single side braid. I walk out the bathroom in search of clothes; I go to the dresser to find an outfit has already been laid out for me. On top of the clothes is a note. It reads- "katniss, you must wear these for training. I didn't design them BTW it's just what you wear – Cinna x "I smile then get dressed and go to breakfast.

No one will be up after last night; after all they drank far too much, celebrating our success in the parade. We watched a recap last night and turns out that we were featured for most of it, getting more then our fair share of camera time. I think there were at least 5 toasts made in my honour.

It's deadly quiet, I take off my shoes and tiptoe through the halls trying not to wake anyone. But these creaky floorboards are making it pretty much impossible even with my many years of hunting. I look briefly behind me checking that no one has heard me yet, which thank god they hadn't. I also notice that I have only managed to get, what 7 steps away from my door and I am still nowhere near the dining room.

I decide to chance it and take off in a full on sprit, glancing behind me. 'BANG!' I crash into him like a wrecking ball into a wall. He lets out a sharp breathe as I knock the air from his lungs; I bounce back and find myself on my ass, Peeta towering over me.

"Peeta?" I whisper as he out stretches a hand to help me up.

"Morning Beautiful" he says rubbing sleep from his eyes then he lightly pecks me on the lips.

"Morning. " I reply

"I see they put us in matching outfits…again" he just nods in response

There is a long awkward before I decide to speak up

"so how come…"He cuts me off pulling me by the wrist after him "you have to see this"

Peeta's POV-

"Morning beautiful" I fawn before leaning in and stealing a kiss from lips. "Morning" She blushes, isn't she just the cutest? She really does look stunning as per usual. With her intoxicating eyes, pearl award winning smile, shiny perfect single braid, rosy cheeks and lips. Those lips… I still can't believe that she is my girlfriend.

I drift off into a daydream blocking out all reality. Katniss and I are sitting on a blanket sharing the food and laughing, having a moonlight picnic on the roof, in the garden. We finish eating and sit on the small bench looking out upon the capitol. She snuggling into the nook of my neck, my arm wrapped tightly around her. The stars sparkle like her eyes. The wind covering our voices from praying ears and cameras, if only it were true… WAIT! The roof!

She was mid sentence but I just grab her by the wrist and mumble "you have to see this" before whisking her away. We run me leading the way, by now our hands are intertwined. We climb the stairs and pause at the top. I turn to face her.

"What is it?" she looks confused still little out of breath "why don't you look for yourself" she raises an eyebrow before opening the door.

Katniss's POV-

I open the door to find Trees in pots, flowers of every colour, a fountain, little fairy lights hung over the whole thing, there is a stone path leading towards a bench that looks out over the capitol

I sigh "oh Peeta, its perfect" he wraps his arms around my waist from behind, resting his head on my shoulder "it truly is now you're here" I blush scarlet. We just stand like this for a couple of minutes taking in one of the few happy moments we have left.

"Want to sit down?" Peeta asks turning me round to face him in his arms. I just nod as a reply.

Suddenly, Peeta picks me up wedding style and carries me to the bench. We sit s watching the sunrise on the horizon. We stay silent not needing to say anything. It's perfect. His warmth is inviting so I snuggle closer.

Later that day….

"Hurry up katniss, you guys are already late as it is" scolds Effie shoving me into the elevator. We are all silent as we go down to the training hall. The doors open and everyone stares at us. Effie was right we are late and it appears we are the last ones to arrive.

We quietly join the group, who are grouped around a woman named Atlanta, she proceeds to explain the different stations containing survival and combat skills. She then tells us the rules, which there are many. I don't really listen because I am too busy looking round there seems to be a station for everything: knot tying, trap setting, edible, camouflage, archery, climbing, hand to hand combat… Just then I tune into what Atlanta is saying No fighting with other tributes, you'll have plenty of time for that in the arena. If you do wish to practise hand to hand combat please ask one of our assistance to join you, they will be more than happy to help. She pauses. Don't ignore the survival skills! Remember exposure can kill as easy as a knife. With that last comment she walks off to talk to an employee.

I turn to look at Peeta, questioning where to go first. "Want to have a look at the traps station?" he suggests. I just nod in response; we walk hand in hand towards the traps station. We spend at least an hour there practicing over and over again. I get along with the teacher very well as he marvels over my snare skills, if only he could see Gale's, he is ten times better than me.

"Want to try throwing some knifes?" he questions

" sure" I nod

We spent some time throwing knifes before going the climbing ropes and wall. I am twisting and turning through the ropes making it look like a piece of cake. Peeta's turn next. He struggles immensely and ends up falling with a thud to the ground. I rush over to him almost shouting his name. He just curses and gets back up. I tightly wrap my arms round him. I see the careers have stopped throwing spears, some laugh and mock Peeta while others just glare.

"Go throw that big heavy thing over there" I whisper into his ears. He notices my irritation and looks over to see the careers glaring at us. "But Haymitch said…" he starts before I cut him off not taking my eyes off them "I don't care what Haymitch said, those guys are staring at you like you're a piece of meat now go throw it!" I order.

He walks slowly over to the throwing station; their eyes follow him as they smirk. Peeta picks up the heaviest weight and heads to the throwing platform then with one arm he chucks the weight half way across the room, then smirks back at the careers. They look shocked besides the career from 2, I think his name is Cato. He just looks at me and smiles as I glare back at him. I notice it has gone extremely quite, I look round to see every pair of arms staring at Peeta and I.

With that we get called for lunch, we head for the canteen and sit alone on one of the picnic bench style tables everyone else sitting in their own groups. We banter while eating away, joking and laughing as we mock one another.

I finally finish my mountain of food, gulping down the last mouthful of bread. I notice Peeta has been staring at me for a while; I blush at the thought of his eyes wandering over my face and body, burning into me. I start to blush scarlet and I can feel myself getting uncomfortably warm in his presents.

I turn to face him, looking deeply into his loving big blue eyes. He stares back into mine and with 100% sincerity as he says "you look so cute when you blush" before leaning in and laying the softest of kisses upon my lips. I crash my lips into his, wanting to feel his against mine. He smiles against my lips before deepening the kiss, our tongues dance in each other's mouths. He pulls me closer to him as I wrap my arms tightly round his neck, my fingers exploring his perfect beach waves. We become lost in our own bubble until it becomes darker as he stands over us shadowing us from the light. We pull apart blushing madly. All the careers just stand over us glaring with confidence. Cato speaks up "Peeta is it?" He completely ignores me acting like I don't even exist.

"yeah, why?" Peeta slightly confused. "Want to join our alliance?" says Cato looking around at his team, Peeta just stares with his jaw wide open, looking completely dazed, They laugh " of course once we take out the weak…" he turns to look briefly at me "it'll be every man for himself, but the offer is only for you . We don't need the spider monkey" once again he glares back at me before pulling all his attention towards Peeta " just think about it" pipes up his district partner before they walk away.
