I don't own the Hunger Games
Chapter 9
Katniss's POV
I never thought that my nightmares could get even worse. Now, I dream of dead children, destruction and Gale. I relive that moment over and over again. Today is not different.
I'm lying on a couch and Peeta is next to me. I'm not sure about what is happening, but when I see his smile I know that there is nothing to fear. His ocean blue eyes are locked on my face, he looks at me with such love that makes my heart skip a beat. He slowly starts to lean in for a kiss and follow his lead. Soon his soft lips touch mine. Slowly at first but then it becomes something else. Love. Passion. Lust. I can't tell. I start pulling on his shirt so he climbs on the couch on top of me. We keep kissing and I've never felt so insatiable. Suddenly the front door opens and Gale runs in staring straight at me. "Peeta, please help me. Please don't let him hurt me." I start sobbing, Gale is here and he is going to hurt me again. "Shhh I won't let that happen baby. I'm right here to protect you." Peeta's words usually calm me down, but not this time. My heart is burning and I know that something dreadful is going to happen. "You know you are going to be mine." Gale says, he doesn't have time to say anything else and next thing I know Peeta in on the floor, on top of Gale, hitting him hard. "Pleaseee stop it." I yell over and over again but they won't listen. I barely have time to see the gun Gale takes out of his pocket before he shots Peeta in the head. "NOOOOOOOO, Peetaaaaaaa."
"Peeta, I love you, pleaseee come back." I hear myself yell as I wake up. I look around but I don't see Peeta anywhere. He was right next to me when I fell asleep. Even though I'm awake my heart still aches just like during my nightmare. Something is happening to my Peeta, I can feel it. I try to make my way to the door but soon the burning sensation between my legs is to much for me to handle. I fall on to floor and tears start to stream down my face. I drag myself to the bathroom and try using the sink as a support to stand up. I sit on the toilet and put my pants down. My underwear is soaked with blood. What am I supposed to do. I feel completely useless. I can't bring myself to tell anybody, especially Peeta, about what happened. The unbearable pain won't stop and I'm bleeding no stop. I put my pants back up and drag myself to the corner of the bathroom. I cry for how ashamed I'm of myself and this entire situation.
Greasy Sae's POV
"Be careful, walk slower. You probably have some broken ribs." I try my best to help bring Peeta back to the Victors Village. He is pretty injured and can barely keep himself up. It takes us almost a half an hour to get to the gate of the Victors Village, which normally would take less than 20 minutes. "I can't go home right now." Peeta says, he is trying to appear strong but his teeth are tightly clenched together and I know he is in terrible pain. "I don't want Katniss to see me like this" he continues after taking a deep breath. "Child, you know you are pretty hurt. I don't know if I will be able to heal all your wounds. Maybe you should go see a doctor. You can't just leave her alone in that house and disappear" I say. Suddently we hear a scream coming from Peeta's house. It sounds like Katniss is calling for him and crying at the same time. "KATNISS" Peeta yells. For a second he forgets about his injuries and tries to run to his house. He takes about 4 steps before he falls to the ground. "PLEASE HELP HER. Don't worry about me. Pleasee Greasy Sae go help her" He says, with each word that leaves his lips, the pain seems to get even worse. "I will boy, as soon as we get you back on your feet." I run to him and help Peeta up, with him protesting the whole time "She needs someone right now. Please go" he sounds desperate, it breaks my hearts. "Okay, go to Haymitch's. Just please be careful" I yell as I run to his house to check on the girl.
I open the door and run upstairs. When I get to his room all I see is an empty bed and sheets all over the floor. "Katniss?" I say. She is nowhere to be found. "Katniss, where are you" I hears someone crying. "Sweetheart, it's okay. I'm here to help you." I listen carefully and I can hear her saying something and it's coming from the bathroom. I try to open the door but it's locked. "Peeta is dead, Peeta is gone forever." Katniss is whispering over and over again. I knock on the door. "Katniss open this door. Peeta is okay sweety. Everything is okay. Just open the door and I will help you." She doesn't answer. "Katniss open the door. I can show you that Peeta is okay. Sweetheart he is not dead, he is okay." He will be okay, I think to myself. "Peeta" she starts to call for him, first in a whisper but then she starts to yell. "PEETA" she yells over and over again. I'm helpless, I don't know what to do. There is no way I can get in there and she won't open the door. I do the only thing that comes to my mind. "Katniss I will be right back. Child calm down everything is okay" I yell over her screams. "PEETA, PEETA" she is sobbing now. I run downstairs and to Haymitch's house as fast as I can.
Sorry guys, another short filler. It will get better as soon as I find a way to heal Peeta lol. My fanfic is rated M but I don't know if I should include some smut in it (between Peeta and Katniss of course). Let me know what you guys think. If you have any ideas just leave it as a review and I will try to add it somewhere in this story. Thanks you and see you guys next time.
