Katniss POV:)
"So, Prim, are you scared in anyways?" I asked, and Prim shook her head and said,
"No, why would I even be scared? Oh, I know, Katniss's scared of the shadows from us and the furniture."
"I know what Katniss's scared of." Why does Peeta have to help Prim to tease me? All. The. Time. This is annoying, very annoying. I listened to Peeta anyways,
"Well, she's scared of the curtains, the white ones that flows around. They're ghosts you know that right, Katniss?"
"Yeah, yeah, of course I know that. Isn't Peeta scared of the dark? I heard that from your brothers. To be honest." I rolled my eyes and answered.
"Who was the one that saved you from your nightmares?"
"Don't even try and talk about it. I thank you for that anyways."
"Well, you should. You owe me for that."
"I, owe you? Are you sure about that? I saved your life at the hunger games didn't I? I was the one that had to ran and grab that bag from the cornucopia, risking my life and being almost killed by Clove." Clove giggles and apologizes. Peeta kept talking,
"Ok then. If I tell you that I owe you, which would make you happy, I'll go with that."
"Fine then. You owe me. Maybe we should call the ghost busters anyways if you're scared of the dark, and Prim saying I'm scared of shadows."
"Sure, call who though? Haymitch and Effie?" Peeta smirked, and Cato said,
"Talking about Haymitch and Effie…Are they actually together, or no?"
"We don't know, we'd have to try and find out what's going on between them." Glimmer said, and she added, "Isn't it cute though? Heffie?"
"No, they're not cute at all." Foxface said as she shook her head, Rue says,
"I admit they're not cute."
"Neither do I." Prim said loudly for Glimmer to hear it clear, Cashmere adds,
"Well, I think they're cute. Glim and me think they're the cutest couple."
"How are they cute? A capitol fashion lady, and a drunky mad district 12 guy. Think about it carefully before you girls say that again. He was our mentor, Katniss and mine, and Effie was our escort to the capitol." Nicely spoken, Peeta.
"Cato… I just saw something moving, and it disappeared. I think it's a ghost…" Clove murmured as she clutched onto Cato's arm tightly.
"Clove, it's just the wind blowing the curtains." Cato whispered. He stopped, we listened, there was a soft noise of whimper, sniffing, and crying. None of us are doing that, so who is it?
"Katniss, I think it's a ghost." Prim shivered as she grabs onto my hand and Peeta's. To make it clear, she went straight into the middle of Peeta and me, and broke the tight grasp of my hand and Peeta's. Rue laughs, "Prim's scared of ghosts. Well, I'm in the lead now, aren't I not?" Prim just tightens her hands and she grabs on my arm.
"I can carry you if you want, doctor duck." I teased. She turned from being little duck to doctor duck, after her training as a doctor in district 13, and I'm actually real proud of that. Prim being a doctor in training.
"Ok, you can carry me." Prim said to me. She actually said that, she's actually that scared, and I'm really surprised. "Fine, hop on then, doctor duck." I held my arms out and she hops on, I'm actually carrying a thirteen years old girl, who's now just shorter than me by an inch.
"Aww, baby little Prim." Glimmer teased from the back, I heard snoring sounds… Prim's sleeping.
"Glimmer, I think Prim's sleeping…" I said, and she replies,
"I have someone here that's half asleep too, Foxface is barely awake, and Cashmere's half sleep walking."
"I think you're half asleep too." Rue suddenly spoke from the front, and Glimmer said,
"Yeah, and you too Rue. You're half asleep."
"You guys just can't really stay for those whole night parties can you? We'll get you guys back to your room." Clove said, and Glimmer asks sleepily,
"What time is it?"
"2:30am, its late, well, pretty late for you guys. Come on, we'll get you guys to Prim and Rue's room." Clove answered as Peeta, Cato, and me changed our direction of movement.
~Page break~
"Right, sleep well, and sweet dreams, see you all in breakfast!" Clove said quietly as Peeta closed the door. All of them are sleeping, just because we can hear five different tones of snoring sounds.
"Katniss, you're tired." Peeta pokes me on my shoulder, I said,
"Of course I'm not. I'm usually awake for the whole night!"
"Well, you should get some sleep then. Come one, back to your room."
"Peeta, I'm so not tired."
"You so are Katniss. I know when you're tired."
"How can you tell that I'm tired? Huh? Say it if you know it, Peeta." I stared at him, being mean. He offended me badly. I always stay awake because I either have nightmares, or I just have to go and hunt for food to feed the rest of the Everdeens.
"You two, stop the lovey dovey cat fight." Clove said as she pulled me away from Peeta in case I some how punches him on the face. "Clove, this is serious business. It's serious." I said quietly, and Clove just puts her arm around my shoulder and said,
"It's only you two are tired. Come on, we're at your room now."
I opened the door and went on my bed, not my sleeping bag, or Peeta's, or Clove's, or Cato's. Definitely not Cato's. "Hey, not sharing one with Peeta anymore?" Cato says that which makes me even angrier. I said, "You go ahead and share one with Clove if you want. Peeta's just going to join me on my bed if he wants. That's what he usually does." I yawned loudly, but Clove just hops onto my bed and we started a whole new conversation. She asks,
"Do you know what that crying voice was?"
"Yeah, it's mom."
"Why would she be crying in the middle of night?"
"Clove, you know how love works, right?"
"Yeah. I do."
"Mom cries because of dad."
"Where's your dad?"
"Died, few years ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Nah, it's ok. Mom's back normal now."
"Still, he's your dad. He gave you your life."
"Yeah, I know, I love him a lot, it's sad that Prim didn't really get to know him for longer though. All right, better get some sleep. Night." I finished as I snuggled in,
"Good-night Katniss," Clove said as she went back down to join Cato.
"Can I join, Katniss?" I suddenly felt the pressure on the other side of the bed, and I recognized Peeta's voice. "Sure. Although you and me on my bed doesn't sound right." I said, Peeta shook his head and says, "No, it doesn't, but we know what we're doing."
"Yeah, right, we do."
"Do you still get nightmares on a daily basis?"
"Of course I do. I usually sleep for at most three hours a night."
"Then you really need to sleep more, Katniss."
"What happens to you though? I know for sure you get nightmares."
"I told you, I don't scream or cry like you do, I just stay in my dreams, I can't wake up. It's kind of a bad thing."
"That's why I wake up with your arms around me usually, right?"
"Until our lives went back to normal."
"Until our lives went back to normal. Yes."
"Just try and get some sleep though, tonight. You know I'm always with you for the whole night."
"All right. Good night then."
"Wait."
"Wait what?" I asked, Peeta lunged forwards and whispered, "This." I pulled his face towards mine, our lips touching, and eventually his tongue dancing inside my mouth with mine. We both know that kissing on my bed is just inappropriate, but who cares? You really can't control love, plus, you can't stop this madness of love when you know no one is going to tell you to stop. "Good night now." Peeta pulled himself away from me, although I really didn't want to stop. "Fine, good night." I said, and I closed my eyes, they're getting heavier and heavier…
I was just in the cold river, cooling down the burned area where the fireball hit me.
"I found her!" Cato screamed, as Glimmer grabbed the knife,
"She's mine! I'm killing her!" Without hesitation, I stood up instantly, and sprint towards the trees. "Where do you think you're going? Girl on fire?" Clove pinned me down to the grass, the cold knife on my neck, staining with blood. She can just kill me in any moment. Cato rushed onto the grass field, cutting Peeta's leg with a big knife. Blood spilled onto the grass, with Cato, arms tightly gripped around Peeta's neck. "Go on, shoot me, I'm dead anyways. We both go down and you can go home." Cato chokes Peeta, and on the grass lies a dead body, still, and cold, covered with blood…
"No!" I screamed as I jumped up.
"It's ok, it's ok." Peeta's warm arms are around me, his hand stroking my hair. "It's ok Katniss, it's ok." He soothes me, I asked, "What time is it?"
"3:00pm, you slept for a while and you woke up, screaming."
"Did I wake you up?"
"Yeah, but it's a good thing."
"How is it a good thing, waking you up?"
"You woke me up from a nightmare. Thanks Katniss."
"I guess I'll be saying you're welcome then."
"Yeah, now, go back to sleep."
"I can't, I can't go back to sleep."
"Just try ok? Just try." I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
Mom, Prim and me are sitting at our dining table, eating our lunch. Suddenly our house blew up. It was mining accident. I suddenly realized, my dad's gone forever, his body blew up in different little pieces. I cried, and cried, and I escaped into the woods, thinking, my dad's left me, forever.
"No! This can not happen again!" I woke up because of some noise of girlish scream.
"Clove, it's ok, it's only a dream. It's ok." A boy's sound appeared after the scream. It was Clove and Cato. I asked, "Clove, you get flashbacks too?"
"She gets them all the time." Cato answered for her. Clove was just sitting straight up on her sleeping bag, not moving, just still. "I mean, she does, but don't you get flashbacks too?" Cato asks, and Peeta answered,
"She always does. She just screams out loud until I wake her up."
"Just like Clove. She screams, until I wake her up." Cato nods his head as I went down and sat with Clove.
"Cato gets flashbacks, but he just sort of get over with it. He doesn't get that much like I do." Clove suddenly talked, and I said,
"Peeta gets flashbacks too, but he can't wake up, he doesn't scream or anything, he just stays in his dreams."
"That would totally suck."
"Yeah. At least we can just scream to let people know."
"Katniss, do you know what time is it?" She asks as I checked the clock.
"6:30am" I said, and Clove goes out of her sleeping bag and says, "I'll get dressed. We still have school, right?"
"Yeah, you go and get dressed." I said as I led her towards the dressing room. We changed our clothes, and we tied our hair. I do what I usually do, one diagonal braid, my leather boots and jacket, my plain green shirt and long pants. "I'm ready." I said, and Clove looks at me, and I look at her. She's wearing short dress, really high heels, and, that's about it. We stared at each other for quite a while. Clove broke the silence,
"You really need to pay more attention to fashion."
"Sure. You have to help me with that though." I shrugged, Clove nods and said,
"We start from the very inside. We start from your skin. You can't have such rough skin, and don't bite on your nails." Crap, I was just biting it.
"Now, we'll leave it for today. We're starting your whole point of view tomorrow. What's for breakfast?" Clove asked as her stomach growls. I laughed and said,
"We usually don't get breakfast."
"Well, I smell something. Come on! I think it's French toast!" Clove is always so energetic, she just ran downstairs, well, in her high heels, unbelievably. Effie would be so proud if I could do that. "Well, come on Katniss. Everyone's hungry, I'm sure Prim's already there too." Peeta said as he ran downstairs followed by Cato. I'm really, positively sure, this is going to be a crazy day.
I know it's a weird ending, forgive me. It's done in a rush. Review anyways! I'll still try and update everyday! Review please!
