Another chapter, this one was hard to write, Its really late and Im going to bed but I didnt want to unless I finished this chapter.
I DONT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES blah bllah blah.
D.P.O.V
I woke up groggily and dragged myself out of bed blinking a few times to get a clear head before I froze and my legs buckled, Today was the day we went down to the training centre. I was tempted to crawl back into bed and hide but instead I headed to the shower swallowing my nerves. The thing was is it wasn't heading down to the training centre and facing everyone I'm going to kill, or attempt might be a better word but facing the son of Peeta gosh that sounds pathetic. I kind of had a crush on Peeta when I was younger Kind of, well a lot embarrassing I had always seen him on T.V or in the street but that was before I noticed his son.
Caden was almost a spitting Image of his father, except younger and better looking of course, was there something wrong with me? My sister and I had giggled about it she is a year younger than me. I sighed as this train of thought made breathing difficult. I couldn't think about my family OR the boy I was going to try and save in the arena. I stepped out of the shower shuddering, because if it wasn't for Caden's family mine would be dead.
C.P.O.V
I walked down the hall and knocked once on Mum and Dad's door, no answer. I opened it a fraction then closed it again quickly cussing and ducking away from the room, god parents are embarrassing. I was suddenly angry more than angry furious. How dare they, my life was on the line and all they could focus on were each other's lips. Did they even care about me? I felt tears in my eyes and I gritted my teeth flying for the bathroom. One of the many things I hated about tears was that it blurred my sight. I ran right into something, Hard! I skidded to a stop and looked at the person I had knocked to the floor.
D. P. O. V
I looked carefully down the hall before heading to breakfast. I might be trying to save Caden's life not that he needed my help, not that he needed me at all but I was way to chicken to actually talk to him sometimes I couldn't even look at him, Stupid, stupid, stupid I told myself. You CANNOT have a crush on the son of Katniss and Peeta Mellark, and that's what I kept telling myself Caden was Just a stupid school girl crush; boy was I wrong.
I was successful in not running into the Mellark family for awhile that was until I got knocked to the floor by one, the one I was most hoping to avoid. It knocked the breath out of me and I looked up dazed. When I met his gaze I was speechless, He was red from embarrassment I think, he had bags under his eyes and he was fighting tears. I struggled up but he also seemed to be in a state of shock, I looked down waiting for him to speak because he was just standing there. The one and only Caden Mellark was crying I didn't have a clue how to respond to this bewildering beautiful boy I could only stare.
H.P.O.V
Where was everyone? Today was a very important day and no one could even be bothered to show up. You wouldn't believe my shock when Iwas the first one at the breakfast table. Grumbling about nothing I went to see where everyone else was. I could kind of guess what katniss and Peeta were up to because the only reason they are ever late for anything is if they are "busy", stupid Melark the kid is to charming when he wants to be.
I ran into Lucinda Just getting out of her room, don't shoot me for saying this but I think Effie was a way better escort, at least she got us to things on time. God I never thought I would think that about Effie of all people.
I barley glanced at Lucinda as I headed around the halls randomly hoping to find someone. I stopped when I saw Caden, kid was a mess red eyes bed hair, deep down in my heart I felt sympathy for the boy but it was overshadowed by annoyance. He is actually meeting the other tributes today and what are they going to see? Well in their eyes they will see a snivelling weak boy who has been raised spoilt and soft. That won't help him get allies and this kid needs allies. This was my first reaction but then I took a closer look at who he was with and my eyes lit up.
The way Daisy looked at him like he was a god or something; the kid didn't even realize how famous he was. Maybe the kid did have hope; we were going to have to work on his acting skills though. Bloody hell it's going to be his mother all over again. I don't think Daisy will have to act she'd be pretty convincing all on her own. Could we really get away with the same act twice? I peered at the two once again and I believe we could, if we play it right.
P.P.O.V
I woke up fairly early gasping for breath, stupid nightmares. I rolled over to find katniss still sleeping and smiled temporarily forgetting my overwhelming panic for Caden's safety. Katniss didn't scowl in her sleep, improved her looks a lot which was hard because she was already so close to perfect.
I got up showered and got dressed then sighed I didn't want to face Caden after last night, or Daisy, or Haymitch I didn't really want to see Lucinda either but that was mostly due to the fact that she had a very nasal voice and she kept biting her nails and staring at me. This also pissed Katniss off but she was very cute when she was jealous. I sighed again and stopped procrastinating, time to wake Katniss up. I just had an Idea, a way to keep that scowl off her face just that much longer.
I leant down slowly and pressed my lips firmly against hers I felt her stir and picked her up deepening the kiss, just like we used to do when we were kids. I felt her wake up more and wrap he legs around my waist, her hands braided in my hair and I found myself unexpectedly caught in the middle of a heavy make out session. She started kissing down my jaw, both our breathing was harsh; I was still surprised and enthusiastic as she attacked my mouth again. We fell on the bed so she was now on top of me and I broke the kiss.
"Good morning" I say smirking
"I love you" she says fiercely gripping my shoulders
"I love you to" I say brushing hair away from her face concerned, her eyes were wild.
She closes her eyes and sighs and I kiss her on the check.
K.P.O.V
NO! I run but I'm not fast enough.
"MUM"
"CADEN" I move more quickly through the forest but he isn't anywhere to be seen, all I can hear are his tortured cries burning my ears. I felt like I was running but I wasn't moving. Suddenly I fly away from the scene and land in an unfamiliar room with complicated gadgets and cameras. I shake my head confused until I see a huge screen filming the scene I was just in. This time I could see Caden though, and I could also see that it was too late to save him.
I screamed and ran to the screen my eyes frozen, he was defenceless and surrounded by wolves BIG wolves he wasn't strong enough to fight them off. Tears were streaming down my face and I spun around looking for Peeta, as soon as I thought of him I found him sprawled out on the floor obviously drunk. I ran to him.
"Peeta"
No response
"Peeta please Caden is dying I need your help"
Still nothing
"Please Peeta I need you"
He didn't move
"PEETA" my voice is hysterical
I hear the worst scream yet and my head whips around to face the screen the wolves are gone but Caden isn't moving blood is everywhere. Blood drains from my face and I hear a cannon blast in the distance, I scream.
I feel warm lips on my own even though I am still on the edge of sleep; I stir and open my eyes.
Its Peeta he is here he is moving he is alive and safe. He deepens the kiss and I am overwhelmed with fierce relief, love and a little bit of fear that this is another dream and I am going to wake up to nothing. I wrap my legs around him and grab his hair hoping to keep him prisoner here forever. I kissed down his jaw and back up again till I found his mouth and fiercely kissed him again. He is surprised I can tell that much clearly he isn't expecting the force of my reaction. We start to fall and he breaks the kiss my bottom lip trembles I was still trying to recover from my horrific nightmare and my emotions were running wild.
"Good morning" he smirks
"I love you" I say fiercely my hair was sweaty and falling into my eyes, that was good because they were starting to sting with bloody tears.
He brushed the hair away from my face concerned.
"I love you too" he murmurs gently and I feel my breathing slow I lay my head on his chest sighing he kisses me on the cheek.
My family was safe and healthy but how long will that last? How long until my world in blown apart forever?
REVIEW AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAAY :)
