Hey long time no see! Just wanted to say one thing before I got started, obviously I'm not a five star writer. Heck I'm not even close! I'm just writing this for fun, so please don't expect the story to be fabulous! Because honestly it won't be! Thanks for everyone who has reviewed though, I very much appreciate it! :D!

The beeping of an alarm clock woke me from my sleep, which for once I would have liked to stay in. In my dream I was with Peeta, we were having a picnic in the meadow when a little boy came running towards us, followed by Prim and my mother. The child had dark brown hair, similar to my own, but his face looked so much like Peeta's, it was obvious he was our child. They all sat down next to us, and we began to talk, which turned into laughter. It was great. I long for it to become real, maybe someday it will. When Peeta gets rescued, we can go back to district 12, make a family. But is that what I want? To have children with Peeta, that would mean we would get married, and be more than friends.

"Katniss it's time to go to breakfast!" My sister says, interrupting my thoughts. "Sorry to wake you, but here in district 13 you have to eat at a certain time."

I nod and go to take a shower. After about 30 seconds of washing my hair, and 10 minutes of just standing in the warm water, I decide to come out. Changing in the clothes Prim was kind enough to bring for me, I quickly put my hair in a braid down my back, and we set off to breakfast.

When we arrive at the doors for the cafeteria, I am stopped by a familiar face. "Finnick," I say, "how are you?"

"Katniss," He pants "You need to come with me now."

"What? Why?" I ask.

"A required meeting the mockingjay must attend." He smiles his charming smile, grabs my hand, and pulls me away.

We arrive at some sort of conference room. There is a large table in the center of the room, seated around it are victors, Gale, president Coin, and other faces I don't recognize.

"Finally Miss Everdeen, we were afraid you wouldn't make it, please sit." Coin said.

I sat at the nearest sit available, and tuned in to the meeting.

"As you all know, the Capitol has a few prisoners being held hostage there." She started, "We have developed a plan though, with the help of Miss Everdeen to rescue them. She will go to the capitol, and travel to Snow's mansion, where the prisoners are most likely being held at. She will then create a distraction while the soldiers gather up the captives. Once they are rescued she makes her way to the hovercraft and off back to district 13."

"Are you crazy?" Gale demands, "She could be killed! It's too risky!"

Coin laughs, "Mr. Hawthorne, she will have soldiers along with her, no need to worry."

Gale doesn't look satisfied "The Capitol will not mess around! She will be killed if they get the chance!"

"Hawthorne! Leave that to us to decide!" Coin yells back.

Still unsatisfied, Gale sighs and sits back in his chair.

"Are there any more objections?" She asks glaring around the room, daring them to speak. "Well then it's settled, we will discuss this further tomorrow, same time, try not to be late."

As I get up to leave, Gale grabs my arm forcefully; leading me into what it looks like is his room. "What are you thinking?" He demands, "You could be killed!"

"Gale," I whisper "I'll be fine, I have to rescue them."

"This is about Mellark isn't it? You like him?" He said accusingly

"His name is Peeta Gale!" I yelled. The way Gale said Mellark made me angry, as if he was saying a horrible word that shouldn't be said.

"Whatever, Peeta, Mellark, same thing. But you like him, more than friends I mean."

I didn't know what to say to that, do I? I wasn't sure, it's true I have been feeling something for him lately, is it love? I'm not sure, I have never been in love before, and I don't know what it feels like.

"Katniss," He says softly "what about us? We could have something! I love you."

Without letting me answer, he lounges towards me, and kisses me. His lips are hard and forceful, nothing like my kisses shared with Peeta; his are warm, soft and gentle. He starts to unbutton the shirt I'm wearing, startled, I pull back.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Showing you how much I love you." He says smiling mischievously and suddenly kisses me again, trying to do the same.

"Stop it Gale!" I yell "I don't love you! Heck I don't even like you!"

He obviously is hurt by the look on his face, "Why Katniss? I want you."

"Well I don't want you Gale! And you know what? I do love Peeta! And he loves me! He cares for me Gale! And is gentle with me! Not trying to pull any moves on me like what you just did!"

"Fine Katniss leave! But I will have you Katniss, someday, whether you like it or not!"

I shake my head angrily and storm out the door making sure to slam it. I can't believe the nerve of Gale! Trying to pull moves on me! I scream in frustration, and run for the nearest closet I find, tears threatening to spill.

I sit there and cry. I cry over Gale, and I cry over Peeta, I want nothing more than to have him with me, I miss him terribly.

I still can't believe what I admitted to Gale, that I love him. Love! Are my words true? I believe so, I really do. Thinking over all the times we have spent together, I can't help but smiling, he makes me happy.

I can't wait until he comes back! What if he doesn't love me anymore? The thought causes deep sorrow to run through my mind.

Tired of crying, I lay my head against the wall, and my eyes start to feel heavy, I give in and close my eyes, quickly finding myself asleep.

I'm running through the capitol, passing building after building. No one insight. I hear a scream not to far way, and I run to it. I find myself standing right in front of a door, I open it and find Peeta, tied up to a chair, being tortured. No! I scream, he turns to look at me. Sadness fills his bright blue eyes.

He is tortured once more, which causes him to scream. His eyes begin to close slowly, "Peeta!" I scream running to him, checking for pulse. But he's dead. I sink to my knees, and start to bawl my eyes out. I look once again at Peeta, but he's not there. Instead I see Snow.

"And you thought you could beat me," He laughs "But you thought wrong, I have already taken away Mr. Mellark, and I guarantee I will take away more, every inch of happiness gone, until your left with nothing, alone, and miserable."

I wake up with a start, drenched in sweat, and tears streaming down my face. I can't stop thinking about what Snow said, that he will take away everything from me, and he has already taken away Peeta. Is it true that he's dead? Maybe it is, Snow would want to make my life as miserable as possible, taking Peeta away from me is something that would do that.

I need to talk to someone; maybe they can make me feel better. Gale is defiantly not an option, and I don't want to worry Prim or my mother, what about Haymitch? Actually I think it's a good idea, I'll go talk to my old mentor.

As I get out of the closet I remember I have no clue where Haymitch even lives! I'll just wonder around until I find him or someone that can give me directions.

Soon I see a woman, a little older than me walking in my direction, "Excuse me ma'am, do you know where Haymitch Abernathy lives?" I ask.

"Yes I do, he lives right by me. I often hear him breaking bottles and talking to himself. It's quite annoying actually." She says

I laugh, same old Haymitch "Can you show me where he lives?" I ask hopefully.

"Of course just follow me!" She says making a quick hand motion to follow.

We turn corner after corner, hallway after hallway, until she stops and points to a door marked 323. "Here you are"

"Thank you." I say, instead of knocking on the door, I just decide to walk in.

"Sweetheart finally decided to visit your old mentor I see. How did you find me stalker?"

"I got directions." I say

"Directions! What are you now? A woman!" He laughs, great he's drunk.

"Yes actually I am a woman." I said. I was hoping he would be sober, but of course he wouldn't, with the war going on and everyone being held hostage in the capitol, he doesn't want to go through it.

"What! You think you know a person!" He says shaking his head.

Deciding to talk to Haymitch was a bad idea; He won't take anything I say seriously. "I have to go Haymitch, see you tomorrow."

"Byeeee! Don't forget to ask directions on how to get home! Haha woman!" He laughs.

I roll my eyes, I hate when he's drunk.

I leave his room and decide to just go to bed; it's been a long day. I make my way back to my shared compartment with Prim and my mother, jump on the bed and close my eyes.

"I love you Peeta." I whisper before falling in a dreamless sleep.

Alright! I hope you liked it! Peeta's rescue will defiantly be somewhere in the next three chapters! Weeeee! I can't wait! Did you see what I did there with Haymitch's room number? 323? I'll give you a hint… what's on 3/23/12? THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE! Haha I know, I'm that cool! I'm so excited! Well anyways I'm going to get some juice pouches (gotta love em!) And well I'll see ya later! Pleaseeee review!
