Chapter 12: The rain
Her eyes open. She looks at me and says my name. "Peeta". Just my name. It sounds like she is surprised that she is here, like she accepted to be somewhere else. Not here with me in the dark cave. "Hey" I say. I smile at her and say "Nice to see your eyes again". When I first saw her last night, with her wound in her forehead and wheat clothes, she was weaker than me for the first time in our life. She will always be the strong, she know how to survive in the woods and how to feed a family, to fight poorness. I've had an easy life if we should compare me and Katniss. I've always had food, even if we eat the rests from the bakery. I don't need to go to bed without supper. But she has. And she is alive now, because of her own strength. But, even if I love her, I am a bit upset. She tricked me with the berries and sleep syrup. But she is still suffering the wound in her head, so I don't mention it yet.
Katniss told me about the feast. Tresh and Cato try to kill each other. Clove's horrible death. And about Foxface, the clever girl from district five. That girl is so clever. But I can't see her like an enemy. Because no one in here is, we just have to kill each other because we're forced to. The real enemy is the capital. I hate the capital more than anyone else. And I am forced to kill, to stay alive. And I can't do anything about it. I want to show the capital that I am more than their tool, their brainless little piece in their game that they can force to do anything for them. But I canb't say bad things here in the arena, our sponsors will leave us if I say bad things about the capitol. No one wants a rebel, except for me. Katniss is born rebel and she is the only one I love. The only rebel in our district. She choose to face death once more than let her sister die. No one from district 12 volunteer, but she were. Sky always annoyed me because I like a girl from the seam. And I bet that my parents would like me to marry a girl from town. But I won't.
"You will. I promise." I say. I bend over and give her a kiss. She wants to go home. I want to go home more than anything right now. Everyone looks at us, from a little camera that I found yesterday. Everyone looks at us while we talks, while we sleep, while we kiss and when we do anything. And I am so tired of it. I want to be alone, to be alone with my family, with Katniss and with my friends. To feel that no one watch me all the time.
"I am good rested, thanks to you and Haymitch. Besides, who knows for how long this will last?" I tell her. I can take the first watch, I am perfectly alert. Not tired at all. She falls asleep.
