Hi guys! I decided to continue! Special thanks to LondonJewel, Trina, and smart8881 who made my day and pushed me to continue! Thank you! Here's the next chapter, enjoy. Oh and I do not own anything Hunger Games related.
Peeta grabs my hand and drags me outside. A tingling sensation shoots up through my arm, and a grin slowly starts to appear on my face. 'Get ahold of yourself Everdeen.' I scold myself while using my hand to wipe the smile off my face. 'These people are very capable of putting you in danger, you cant get giddy over holding hands with Peeta.'
"Hey, Haymitch, where's the hovercraft?" Finn asked as he walked outside.
"At the football field. Called Paylor to send one down after I figured out that Hawthorn told her." Haymitch says. Peeta haults, and spins around, still clutching my hand. His eyes tell me that he's confused and angry.
"Wait, Gale told her? I thought that you were gonna wait until the right time and that YOU were gonna tell her, not Gale!" Peeta yelled.
"The time IS right, baker boy. The girl's been getting suspicious. And besides, who better to break it to her than her best friend?" He lets out a huff and gently tugs my arm as a sign to walk. As we walk, I quietly say, "If he even is my best friend. I don't even know him anymore." Peeta catches it and sighs. "I'll explain it to you once we're at the training center." I look up and meet his eyes. Their a soft blue that has a sparkle to them. He gives me a sad smile and I shrug. We walk over to the hovercraft, Peeta and I still hand in hand, when Finnick says,
"GALE!" I spin around and see gale jogging up to us. Peeta growls and steps in front of me. 'Why is he doing that?' I think to myself. 'I barely talk to him, let alone know him.'
"What are you doing here Gale?" Peeta spits out.
"What are you talking about? This is my team." Gale says with a smug smile.
"What-" Peeta starts, but gets interrupted by Finn.
"That's right lover boy, Gale is on the team. As of one week ago. He transferred from Coin's team." Peeta's face pales and his shoulders slump.
"Aw shit." he mutters.
"Come on you little shits! We gotta get to the training center ASAP." Haymitch hollers. I roll my eyes. Once we were at the football field, I couldn't believe my eyes. A gigantic, silver, hover craft was sitting in the middle of the field. The bottom part of the hover craft opens, and descends slowly.
"Holy cow." I mutter. "This- this looks familiar..."
"Your father designed it sweetheart. You must have saw some of the blueprints that he took to work on them." Haymitch informs me. "Come on!" he shouts while motioning us to go inside. Once we're inside, we go to the 'command center'. It was an area at the front of the hovercraft, where all of the controls to the hovercraft are. People were everywhere, monitoring the hovercraft, scanning data, and just playing games on their computers. 'All right, where's Ironman? And Thor? I need to get the Avengers autograph.' I joke to myself. We all sit down in silver chairs at a white table. But the joke is soon burned and destroyed by my frustration and anger.
"So is anyone gonna tell me what the hell is going on!" I say, anger dripping from my voice.
"Catnip-"
"Don't you 'Catnip' me Gale Hawthorn! You said it yourself, I deserve some answers and I deserve some now!" I shout as I slam my fist onto the table, creating a BOOM sound that echoed through the hovercraft. Haymitch put his hands on his face and rubbed his eyes.
"Look sweetheart, we'll give you all the answers your heart desires, once we're at the training center. Peeta, take Everdeen to her quarters."
"Old fart." I mutter. Finn, Gale, and Peeta burst out laughing.
"What?" Haymitch says and let's out a giant burp. Even I start to laugh.
"Come on," Peeta says with smile on his face. He leads me out of the command center, down a hallway, and stops in front of a door. He slowly opens it with a creak. I look around. Gray bed, no widows, small desk, and a concrete floor.
"Are you sure this isn't some kind of cell?" I ask with a very serious expression. Peeta chuckles.
"No. In fact I think this is the nicest of all the quarters." I take a few cautious steps towards the bed before carefully sit on the edge.
"Can I get any info out of you, Peeta?" I ask. He sighs, still standing at the doorframe.
"I joined this team... Because..." he knits his eyebrows together and looks up and meets me gaze. "I," he pauses, "care about you more than you will ever know." and with that he stalks out the door. Only one question is on my mind at this moment. 'How much DOES he care about me?'
I hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter and i hope it wasnt too short! Oh, and PS, if you didn't get the whole 'Avengers' bit it's because I imagined it looking like he hovercraft from the Avengers. (Amazing movie btw) I'm planning on doing maybe one or two updates everyday, depending on how busy I am. And R&R add to... Blah blah blah. :)
