CHAPTER 3

It's been about five days since me and Peeta started dating when a thunderstorm hit. I was sitting in the living room when it hit. Suddenly a large clap of thunder bursts, and I scream and run up to my room. I slam the door and dive under the covers, and I roll into a ball. I try to breath nice and slowly getting my breath back, when a knock sounds on my door. "Meta its Peeta can I come in?" he asks. I don't answer, and he comes in anyway. "I'm guessing you hate thunderstorms." I nod under the covers, "Want to tell me why?" he asks. I nod. I poke my head above the covers. "It reminds me of when you were in the arena both times. Dark, scary, and deadly. Mostly Death." I answer.

"Oh, I see. Well how about I stay with you and help you get over your fears?" he asks.

"That's fine." I say just as another giant clap of thunder let's all loose. I scream and Peeta holds my hand. I start shivering. We have no heat in this house so it's already cold. Plus I'm freaked out. He cradles me and soothes me until the rain isn't so loud, and there isn't much loud thunder. Then eventually I fall asleep and dream of where Peeta and I get married. Then I have a nightmare where Katniss finds out that Peeta and I are dating. Then she goes crazy and tells everyone we are having a final hunger games. With me, Peeta, my family, and other regular tributes. I wake up its dark the power went off and I'm screaming. The door bursts open and Peeta comes in and settles me down saying after I fell asleep he left and a second half of the storm came causing the power to go out. I'm still breathing hard and he asked me if I had a nightmare. "Yes." I answer him.

"Well do you want to tell me what happened." He asks me.

"Yea, sure. Well first it started out that Katniss found out about me and you. Then she announced we'd have one final Hunger Games. With me, you, and my family. I was killed and so were you. Even my mom, dad, and sister were killed. This district 2 person won." I say taking a breath. I'm shaking now and he hugs me.

"Don't worry, Katniss would never ever do that. Trust me." He says taking my hand.

"But-"

"Oh, by the way she called today, and she and Gale are coming for a week." He says interrupting me.

"What?" I ask.

"Yea, your mom had to book them I mean what was she supposed to do?" he asks smiling.

"I don't know." I say kissing him. I look at the clock and see its about 10o'clock. "Let's get some sleep." I say getting up and turning the lights off.

"Night Peeta."

"Night Meta."
