Chapter 14
SORRY! This was supposed to be up yesterday but I had a project for schoool and I'm gonna be honest. My life is really busy right now. There is one chapter left after this which will either be up tonight or tomorrow. Note: I had to copy and paste the word fiancee as it won't let me type the thing on the E.
DON'T OWN HUNGER GAMES.
I couldn't believe it. Katniss and I were going back into the Games. I brought this upon myself by volunteeering but Katniss had no choice. The worst part was that we couldn't say goodbye to our families. Or friends as it's obvious most of my family wouldn't care anyway. But Prim and Katniss were heartbroken. Katniss was definitely coming home. Even if it was the last thing I did.
Katniss and I were woken up by Octavia calling for Katniss. Last night, she was moaning how it wasn't fair that the guys could sleep in 'til noon but the girls had to get up at 5 to get their make-overs done. Personally, I don't get why they need to be spotless, but the stylists always seemed to think they did. I left Katniss' room and just sat on my bed. I pressed the D12 button and the town appeared. It left me with excruciatingly painful memories...
"Come on, guys!" Eve shouted. We were playing tig and tag with Owen, Matt, Delly and her brother, Daniel. If we were on, we'd always focus on getting Eve. Because she was oldest, we would be congratulated hugely for catching a 10-year-old when Delly and I were 7, Daniel was 5, Owen was 8 and Matt was 9. No-one ever caught Eve.
"It's not fair!" exclaimed Daniel. "Eve's a lot older!"
The girls burst out laughing.
"Okay, Dan," Eve said, trying to stop laughing. "I'll slow down."
She then started jogging rather than running. Matt managed to catch her but he was the only one. She was still too fast for us. I then wasn't looking where I was running and I tripped, grazing my knee. Eve then picked me up and carried me back home and she cleaned me up and put a plaster on my knee.
"...PEETA MELLARK!" Haymitch's voice jolted me from my thoughts. "You gotta go meet the other Victors."
Oh, great. That'd mean meeting Tristan. Oh, he was reaped too. Best Hunger Games ever. As if any Games is good.
As I walked down with Katniss (my new fiancée), Finnick Odair immeadiately approached me.
"Peeta. Mellark?" he asked. "Eve was your sister or something, right? You look remarkably similar. So much it's kinda creepy."
"Umm... thank you?" I said, confused if it was a complement or not. "Coral kinda resembled you, too."
Finnick sighed heavily. "I know it's the girl from 2's fault as she's the one who killed her, but... I still blame myself for her death. I shoulda just done what he told me to, and.."
"So, YOU'RE Peeta?" Tristan hissed. "I was in your sister's Games. And I won."
"Back off, Trist. That's the Games Coral died too and we both know they died. Haven't you got some more morphling to drown yourself in?"
With that, he just ran off. I always knew he was a coward. He didn't deserve to win. He won by...
wait for it...

HIDING IN THE FREAKING CORNUCOPIA IN THE FINAL BATTLE WHILE LEAH AND EVE KILLED EACH OTHER!
How did he win? He basically did a "Foxface".
"WILL ALL TRIBUTES RETURN TO THEIR APARTMENTMENTS. THANK YOU."
Sorry again for it being late. I don't know when the sequel will be up but here's a tiny sneek peek:
"You love Katniss, don't you?"
"I d-don't. Look, E-"
"You do. You kissed her."
That's as much as I can write without giving the main point away. Any guesses on what happens? Also: Who is talking in the sneek peek? Guess right and you get a shout-out! (If you want one)
EAH HG GEEK
XOXO
