Secrets In The Shadows

by Elizthewiz

Katniss has always been different. She is a vampire after all. When she goes back to school to protect her family of vampires she meets Peeta Mellark who is suspicious of her. She slowly falls for Peeta but doesn't want him to get hurt by her. Little does she know that even Peeta is very different from every other boy that she's seen.

10. Into the Past

Chapter 10- Into the Past

"Time traveling?" I ask

"Yea. It's strange but I kinda like it," Peeta says

"So what did you go see? I mean you disappeared for about a day." I remind him

"I went back to the day that Prim was born." He says quickly.

It's quiet between us for awhile before I reach over to hug him. I missed him so much. It was driving me nuts not knowing what happened to him.

"Dont disappear on me like that again!" I tell him, pulling away.

Peeta nods. "I'm not going to visit the future." He claims

"Why not?" I asks

"I want to be surprised. I don't want to know what's gonna happen." He replies

I nod my head. Maybe I could show Peeta somethings from my past. To show him how life was like for me back during slavery. I know he probably wants to see that anything, the nerd that he is.

"Do you wanna see me when I was a kid?" I ask

"I kinda do but I was afraid to ask."

"Why? I'm not ashamed of my past, I'm just ashamed of the people in it," I sigh. "It was hard times back then but I handled it. I want to show you it."

"Now?" He asks

"Now." I reply

He smiles. And with that, we were gone.

April 24th 1864

"Well here we are," I say looking around. "Can they see us?" I ask Peeta

"No. We can't change the future in anyway so no one can see us." He tells me. "So what are we looking at exactly?"

"Well, it's my birthday today. Well atleast here I'm 14 on this day. It was one of the worst birthdays of my life."

"How?" He asks

"You'll find out." I tell him

I start walking down this alley. Peeta tries to keep up with me, so I slow down a little. We continue walking down streets and finally see this Plantation.

"So good to be Home," I say sarcastically.

"This was your home?" Peets asks.

"Yep. Come on before you miss this." I tell him walking up the path way. We pass by the slaves working in the fields. I close my eyes trying to remember that slaverly is over now. We reach the front door and I slowly open it and walk in.

I see myself running up the stairs in this dress.

"Katniss!" I turn my head but suddently remember that she isn't calling ME. She's calling the past Katniss. I sigh.

"Yes, Mom?!" She screams back

"Dinner will be ready soon!"

"Whatever," She mumbles to herself, continuing going up the stairs.

"Come on Peeta," I tell him following myself. This is so weird, I think to myself.

She walks into her room and before she can close the door, Me and Peeta get into the room. The bedroom is the same as usual, overdecorated. I hated that bedroom.

She opens her closet door and pulls out a girl. the younger version of Rue.

"Is that Rue?" Peeta asks

"Yes."

"Rue! You wanted to tell me something?" She whispers

"Yea. It's bad," Rue responds

"Well, what happened?"

"My mom told me that-that she thinks they are selling me." Rue says. Her eyes widen.

"What?! Thats not right!" She almosts shouts. "Rue, this can't happen!"

"Well, what can I do about it? I'm scared Katniss. They are going to separate me from you and my mom and I don't know if I can handle that." Rue whimpers

"Ok, I'm going to try to help you out. It may not work but I'm going to try, ok?"

"Alright, I have to get back to work," Rue says starting to climb out the window. "Oh! I almost forgot, Happy Birthday Katniss!" Rue says jumping out the window.

Little Katniss sighs and closes her window.

"I have to get ready for this stupid dinner," She mumbles to herself

"Dinner? It looks like its noon." Peeta says

"Back then for birthday celebrations at midday we called it dinner and when its night we called it Tea. That was only for birthday parties thankfully. I hated them." I tell him. "Come on lets go downstairs, some more fun is about to happen." I say sarcastically.

~To Be Continued~

Hey guys! I'm super sorry I haven't updated in forever! I decided I needed to update at least one story today because I feel like its been so long since I updated.

So I decided to just leave ya'll kinda in a cliff hanger in this chapter. I am still in the process of figuring out what the next chapter is going to be like but I have an idea on how to make it great. :)

Make sure to review so I can know that ya'll still enjoy the story very much.

Oh and also on my last authors note I said that I need to pick a story to end soon so I need help for which one needs to end. Look for more information in the last chapter. Ok? Thanks!

Also on Saturday, George Zimmerman was found not guilty for killing Trayvon Martin. I was upset because he did kill the boy and should've gotten manslaughter penalty but the jury has spoken. Can't change the verdict. I don't know what ya'll's opinion on the trail was but if you want to talk about it feel free to PM me.

If you haven't heard, One of my favorite actors died on Saturday in Canada. His name was Cory Montieth. I would like ya'll to say a prayer for him and his family and his fiance, Lea Michele. They are going through a hard time right now and he is going to be missed very much. Again if you want to talk about this with me feel free to PM me.

Thanks Guys, I love you all so much! See ya'll later! :)
