You know how I said that I might keep it the same character's P.O.V. for more than one chapter? Well I felt i needed to do that with Katniss in this chapter. Don't hate me! Peeta is the next chapter. :) Here's chapter 4! Enjoy!

Katniss P.O.V.

My eyes fly open. My body is frozen. This nightmare is the absolute worst yet. It was Peeta and I in our second arena. Except he was now gone. Then i heard his screams in the trees, that must have been coming from jabberjay's. My ears bled from the horrific screeching of his voice ringing in my ear drums. I started to get attacked by muttations before I could try and find Peeta to stop his pain. I hated when he was being hurt. I then saw a hovercraft come and lift Peeta's body into the air, obviously missing the cannon that signals his death. So if it wasn't jabberjays, then. . .

That's when I woke from the horror. There's a searing pain in my stomach, plus sharp sensations scattered on my face. Suddenly the day's events from yesterday start rolling into my thoughts. Lamp, knife, closet, footsteps. Footsteps. . .

That's how I ended up in my bed. Peeta must have broken into my room because the commotion he must have heard me creating. I can hear his screams echo in my head. I need to see him. I need to see that he is safe. But when I try to swing my legs out from under the sheets, avoice stops stops me. His voice.

"Don't move. You'll only make the pain worse."

Peeta was sitting at the edge of my bed, watching me closely. I have no idea how I didn't sense his presence before now. I guess my hunting skills are already fading. I make a mental note to go there before sundown today. If I can sneak out of this room.

Ignoring Peeta's orders, I sit up, wincing in the process. Then I decide to ask him the question that has been crawling in my thoughts, "Are you okay?"

He looks shocked by my accusation. Then says with sarcasm hinted in his tone, "Am I okay? I was just about to ask you the same thing."

Now I am at a loss for words. What do I say to him? How do I explain why I did what I did? I just simply get up from my bed to leave the tension in the room. I linger in the doorway, with my back faced to Peeta and say, "I've never been better." Then I start to descend the stairs. Then just as I had suspected, Peeta starts following close behind me.

"What does that mean?" He asks me with his normal tone. It must be obvious to only me then. "It means you stayed all night for nothing. I'm fine."

I slump at the kitchen table. Peeta stands there, looking me down. Then he makes eye contact again and states as he sits with me at the kitchen table, "I'm never leaving you only again."

I decide not to say another word. There is really no point in arguing him this time, because I can tell how he feels. But I still won't listen to him, either.

"I made breakfast before while you were still asleep. I'll get some for you now." He tells me.

I immediately shake of his idea. I don't want to eat. What I realize I want is to get to the woods. I need to hunt. I just need a way to get out for a while.

"No thanks. I'm not in the mood for a meal." I simply state, hoping he'll just give in.

"Katniss, you need to eat something." Great, this argument again.

"Can I at least take my medicine first, like I normally do?" I ask, trying to pull off to him that I have actually been take my medication from Doctor Aurelius.

"And then you'll eat?" It seems like its the millionth time he as asked this same question.

"Yes, then i will eat." I lie to him. He takes a while to think over what he wants to say, and I can feel a long spech coming but then he simply says,

"Okay. But don't be long. I'll get you something to eat, though." I get out of my seat and go back up the stairs and into my room. I take out my full pill bottles and set them on the dresser. Should I take them or not? I don't think it will really help with anything though. I haven't been taken them fro months no and I'm fine in health. Well, at least I believe so. Then I get an idea.

This is my chance to sneak away from Peeta for just a few hours to go hunting. I get on my hunting close I would usually wear and slip on my boots. Then I decide to take my father's old hunting jacket. Who knows, it might be cold out there. Then I grab my bow and sheath of arrows from the closet.

Without doing anything else I quietly slip away down the stairs and out a window. Hopefully Haymitch won't see me leaving the Victor's Village. I manage to sneak off without being disturbed. So much for eating with Peeta.

Sorry it took me long to post this chapter. If you have any ideas just tell me in a review! oh, yeah . . . Review! Next chapter is Peeta's P.O.V!
