I hope you enjoyed the chapter before this one, I am considering ending this series. Tell me what you think? Or do you think I should go on and on? There doesn't have to be an end. I can just tell their story until they grow old and die…possibilities…I wonder…review please! Thanks!
The dark actually became my friend, because while Gale was sleeping, I cried. It felt a weak thing to do, but how on earth could I help it? My life was just destroyed, and I never pictured it this way. My love, my wife, Katniss she was taken from me! Now when I try to find her I find myself in a deep prison. And to tell anyone who is listening the truth? I'd rather die than live without Katniss. But should I throw myself into suicide just yet? And leave Gale alone? Who has been here with me since this started? Would Katniss like that? Of course not! So again tonight I hang on…it's been 7 days since we were thrown in here!
The morning comes and the days are long, as for food, there isn't much to speak of. Gale and I occasionally get thrown a scrap of bread for which we share. Is this going to be my life forever? More tears stream down my face, Gale suddenly sits up. "Peeta?" he whispers, I quickly wipe my tears away. "Yes?" I whisper back, "Did you hear that?" now that he mentions it, I hear footsteps and they're getting closer. We both stand up and put our backs against the wall. A shadowed figure looks at us, and begins to pull keys out of its pocket. It unlocks the door and smiles. The only reason I smile, is because I see pure white teeth. This makes the whole thing eerie and creepy. "Boys?" it's a woman's voice. "Don't be shy, say something so I know where you are." I clear my throat, "Yes?" I say, but neither of us moves. "It's Joanna, let's get you out of here." She whispers, and my heart begins to pound. Gale grabs my shoulder, "Prove it!" he demands, and she laughs. Obviously proof enough, who could forget her laugh? But Gale still holds me back, "Seriously, prove it!" she puts her hands on her hips, "Fine, remember that late Sunday where you and I made out in the woods? And you told me…" Gale laughs and stops her mid-sentence. "Okay, I believe you!" Gale says, and my curiosity starts to get the better of my mind, but I keep my mouth shut.
As little noise as possible, we made it out of there. Suddenly I am face to face with my old Mentor, Haymitch. (Don't remember his last name, or I'd put it-Author note) "Peeta!" he says and slaps a hug on me, "You're alive!" he smiles and I show my teeth, halve smile it I think? "Well my boy, you're in terrible shape!" he says, referring to my scruffy bread like face, and the layer of dirt all over me. Gale looking as ridiculous as I, says, "Well, give us 10 minutes to shave and shower why don't you?" I laugh, and then my eye catches her…standing a few feet away…My knees go weak and I smile. As my heart pounds against my chest I run to her...Katniss…
To feel her in my arms is as amazing as I imagined, and whether I question this being real? I had no such thought in my head. For once my lips touched hers I knew…
