Chapter 3: Torment
This is just like a nightmare.
Only if.
But it's really happening.
Gale advances on Peeta knocking him down to the ground.
He's pinned Peeta.
Punching him rapidly.
NO!
NO!
'I have to do something!' I think as I bite my lip and look around the room for anything that I can use to get gale off of peeta
I spot the dagger and race towards it.
Peeta watches me go for the knife.
Gale stops punching him and follows his gaze.
He sees the same thing peeta does.
Me.
Gale.
Gale gets off of peeta and runs toward me.
Smashing me into the wall.
I think I broke a bone.
Gale must like seeing me and peeta in pain because he just grins evilly.
"Why are you doing this gale?"
"You never learn do you katniss?" he says
I don't answer.
"The silent treatment huh?" he's still grinning "maybe this will make you talk"
He starts to close his eyes and…mine do too and I can't control them
I…I start to see these images in my head of gale hurting peeta and badly he's-
No!
"I won't let you hurt peeta anymore!" I yell it but it turns into a scream
He just grins.
And I know it
I know that I will die trying to save peeta
That this is my end
That I've failed to help him
Im screaming as he raises his hand to punch me until I die.
Everything becomes a blur
I can't see anything that happened next and probably won't remember it either but all I hear are my screams.
It must have been awhile because gale is nowhere to be seen.
I look around.
Half the building is gone and peeta just stares at me.
He gets up slowly.
After peeta checks in the ruble and makes his way over to me.
"Are you okay katniss" he asks calmly
"Yeah, fine, now back to my question how did you get those powers?"
"I will answer but can we go home first since my little secrets out" he says
I just nod.
He picks me up bridal style.
"Do you trust me?" he asks
Im confused
"Of course I trust you peeta"
"Then close your eyes and don't open your mouth"
"Okay" I do as he says
He kisses me quickly.
He start to run at incredible speed
Lighting fast.
I really want to open my eyes but the wind is hitting my face so hard I don't.
Im guessing he sees this so he move's slightly in front of me so the wind doesn't hit my face so hard anymore.
And in a few second we're there.
In the victors village in district 12.
He's already opening the door quietly for me so we don't wake my mother and prim.
I step into the house and feel the instant breeze of warmness hitting my cheeks.
He takes a seat near the fire.
I sit next to him.
"I was born with them"
'So that's how he could lift that entire flower sack'
"I could never use them around the district; I was afraid that one of the peace keepers would see me and bring me to snow to be experimented on"
I lift my eyes brows and give him a smile.
Almost like he's read my mind.
"Or at least not since I was working in the bakery" he starts to smile
"Is that how you were able to carry that heavy flower?" I ask curiously
He nods as if he was replaying those days over and over again in his head.
"I haven't use my powers since district 12 was bombed until-"he stops
"-until you used them tonight" I finish his sentence
"Yeah…"he trails off
"What happened to gale? Why is he acting like this?" I ask
"He's been infected by the darkness" he says
"Which is…?"
"A dark force that seeps into people's wounds and bring out the evil in them, even in the people with no evil in them at all, like gale"
"Oh" was all I could say instead of yelling at him for not telling me sooner
"Now it's my turn to ask the questions, how did you do the scream thing that got him away from you?"
I look at him slightly confused.
"I…I really don't know, that was something I thought you would know" I say because it is true
I really do not know of anything that happened to make half the building down…unless a very short, quiet and small earth quake happened and I wasn't even aware of it.
"Peeta, what happened when he had me up against the wall?"
He sighs
"You started to scream and the scream became something more…it was like a sonic boom coming from you, you didn't stop until he smacked into the wall not moving and that's when the building started to come down, it crushed gale completely" he looks away
I gasp and start to cry.
I killed him.
I've killed gale.
"Im sorry katniss there was nothing I could do to save him"
He gets up to hug me.
"Im sorry" he says to me all night until he rocks me to sleep
But this night my dream was different.
It was made of all the happy moments of my life.
THE END…
