Chapter 10
Peeta's POV
I took another swig of the liquor I'd stolen from Haymitch. I wouldn't be drinking right now if I hadn't lashed out at Katniss. If I hadn't snapped at her, then she would still be here.
I could almost picture her, twirling around the house just days before her "accident", cleaning. she was dressed in a spring green strapless dress that fell just above her knees, she paired it with bronze sandals, and her hair was left down in beautiful shiny curls. Katniss hummed a sweet melody as she twirled into oblivion.
"I should really stop drinking, I'm hallucinating," I mumbled to myself.
I threw the glass bottle of booze to the floor, leaving it to shatter against the hardwood floor. I got up from my chair, and stumbled up the stairs into my art studio. It was really an extra room that Katniss and I didn't need, so I painted in here.
The floor was splattered with all colors of paint, sketchbooks littered the small black couch, and previous paintings were stacked high against the wall. I walked over to my easel and started to paint. I let all my emotions bleed into the canvas as I work.
It nearly took all day, but I finished the painting. I step back and examine my work, and I gasp in shock of what I have painted. I have painted my family, standing in front of our bakery on a sunny summer day. My mother is in front of my brothers and father, dressed in an orange dress that clings to the top half of her body and flows loosely to her knees, and she has pair of white sandals that match her white apron. A smile dances across her lips, something that rarely occurred. My older brother Xavier has his hands on her shoulders. He is wearing a loose red v-neck t-shirt, tan pants, and his hair is slightly curly. He looks as if he is laughing something the artist has said. My oldest brother Marcus is standing beside Xavier, smirking wide, like he knew a secret joke. He is clothed in a fitted green v-neck t-shirt that fits his large muscles, blue jeans cover his legs, and his arms are crossed over his chest while his hair is slicked into a capitol style called a faux-hawk. And behind my brothers is my father, standing with his arms around my brothers' shoulders, smiling happily. He is wearing a long sleeved white shirt, tan khakis, and his hair is styled in a peace keeper buzz cut. My family looks so real in the painting that it causes me to have an episode.
*Vision*
(Italics= What Peeta Sees Bold= Venomized Peeta Thought Bold Italics= Real Peeta Thoughts)
I see my family in the bakery on the day of the bombing. Marcus is with his wife Vanessa and he is holding my nephew Riley, Xavier is re-stocking the display case, my mother is yelling at Xavier to work fast, and my father is manning the cash register. And then Katniss enters the bakery, her eyes glowing red, and claws for hands. She is clutching her sleek black bow and in the matching quiver is five arrows and a long curved knife. She pulls out a single arrow, notches it, and lets fly into Riley's tiny chest. She lets another two arrows fly into Vanessa's and my mother's chests. She shoots Marcus and Xavier in the head. Then she pulls out the blade steps over my family's bodies before stabbing my father.
See what Katniss is? She is a cold blooded killer, she killed our family!
Yes I do! Not real and not real. She is an adorable young girl, with sparkling stormy gray eyes, and small delicate hands. She has a beautiful voice, a gorgeous smile that brightens the whole world, and a huge heart.
*Laughs* You're naive, she killed your family, especially your father and little baby Riley whom you've only met once who had a whole future ahead of him.
Liar, Snow killed them with bombs. And how could she have killed them when she was in the hovercraft to thirteen?
Well...well...fine you win!
*End of Vision*
I find my self on Haymitch's old beat up couch surrounded by mountains of liquor bottles. Haymitch is sitting against the wall farthest from me, slumped over, unconscious. I pick up a bottle from the floor and throw it at Haymitch. Haymitch immediately sitting up waving his knife around to kill his "attacker", then he realizes his surroundings and puts his knife away.
"Welcome back boy. You were havin' a bad one. Destroyin' all of your hard work, so I brought you here."
"Where is she?"
"What now?" Haymitch says, looking confused.
"Where is Katniss?"
"Oh. I think she went to Seven. Or Five, but who the heck would she stay with there?" Haymitch continues to ramble, as I grow impatient and angry.
"HAYMITCH!"
"Yes boy?"
"WHERE THE HECK IS KATNISS!" I yell, startling Haymitch.
"Okay, okay calm down. She's in," Haymitch says scratching the back oh his neck. "She's in District Four with Gale."
"WHAT?"
"Well, I said she's in-"
"I know that! I mean why is she with Hawthorne?"
"Weeell...When a man and a woman love each other they become special friends."
"Goodbye Haymitch," I sigh, lightly laughing at my old mentor.
"Wait, where are you goin'?"
"To Four, I'm going to get Katniss back," I say grabbing the coat I was wearing earlier and walking towards the door.
"Good luck boy."
I open the door and close it behind me as I run to catch a train to Four.
