Hey guys! Aren't you lucky, two chapters in one day, unheard of! I want to say a special thanks to hungergamesfangirl100 for always leaving a review! Anyways, here is the next chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: The only thing I own are these really comfy pj's I am wearing right now! That means sadly, I don't own The Hunger Games
Peeta's POV
"Katniss! I'm home!" I say as I close the door. I get no response.
"Katniss?"
Silence. That is when the panic kicks in.
"KATNISS?!" I yell as I sprint through the house, searching everywhere for her, but there are no signs.
I stop, breathing heavily, and try to think.
Where would she go? Haymitch's? It's somewhere to start.
I sprint to his house and bang on the door.
The door opens and I breathe in a whiff of alcohol as he opens the door.
"What do you want Sweetheart- Oh, Peeta. Good to see you. I thought you were Kat-"
"So she's not here?" I ask worriedly, trying to think where she would be. Her mother's house? It's worth a try.
"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down. Where's Katniss?" You can tell he is concerned because he used her real name and not 'sweetheart'.
"I don't know I got home from work and she wasn't there and I started to panic because I told her not to leave and..." Haymitch cuts me off.
"Peeta, I'm sure she's fine. Go check her mothers house and if she isn't there, try the woods. I know she hasn't been out there for a while."
"Okay. Her mothers, if not, the woods. Got it." I turn around and am about to set off when Haymitch says something to me.
"I'm sure Sweetheart is fine. She is tough you know. You'll find her soon."
"Thanks Haymitch," I say before I head to her mother's house.
I knock on the door, a little less urgent after my talk with Haymitch.
"Peeta!" Prim says as she answers the door. "Is everything okay? You look worried."
"Is Katniss here?" I am starting to get upset and I think she notices.
"No she not. I haven't seen her around. Is everything okay?" her voice full of concern.
"I don't know where she is. She was there this morning and she promised she wouldn't leave. When I got back from work, she was gone. No note or anything!"
"Well, I'm sure she is fine. Did you try Haymitch's?"
"Ya, no sign. I am going to try the woods."
She just nods and says "Good luck."
I have never been in the woods before so I try and remember my surroundings before entering the tree line so I know my way out.
I have no idea where to go from here so I just run around shouting her name, hoping for some sort of response.
**Page Break**
I don't know how long I have been searching but eventually I give up and sit down by this small lake I found.
I look out over the water and begin to cry.
What if she is hurt? Is the baby okay? What is something happens to her?
I am a terrible person. I never should have left her alone this morning.
What have I done?
Poor Peeta! He thinks it is all his fault :'( I know, another really short chapter but you may see a third one appearing tonight so keep your eyes on the look out! Please leave comments and ideas on what you want to see in future chapters? On another note, for all you Divergent fans out there, what do you think about me writing a divergent fanfic? If you are like "she should totally make a Divergent fanfic!" then pm me some ideas on what you would like to see for that story!
