Real or Not Real? By Olivia Isbill
Chapter 18
Gale POV
They have been in there for some time now. I wonder if now is the time to make my move. But, no I can't, not until she is alone. Then part one of my mission with commence. And Katniss will be mine.
Katniss POV
After Caesar and the Camera guys all left, me and Peeta decided to watch some movies and eat some popcorn. We were both sitting on the couch, his arms around my waist, my head on his shoulder. Our typical position. We watched about two movies until Peeta said.
"It's getting late, we should go up to bed." He yawned a bit, and then sat up. I was already about half-asleep so I was perfectly fine with going up to bed. He started to walk away when I grabbed his arm.
"Carry me?" I ask with an innocent smile. He sighs, and then smiles. He picks me up and carries me up the stairs into our bedroom. My stomach is starting to hurt a bit, but not as much as It was when we found out I was pregnant. He lays me down on my side of the bed, and climbs in onto the other side. I pull the blanket up to my chin and easily fall asleep. I haven't had a nightmare in a while, and I didn't have one at first, then my dream started to get worse…
I had just had my baby, my beautiful baby girl. Peeta was holding her and I asked to hold her again. I did and she was so sweet, so beautiful, she is my baby. Then I heard a knock on the hospital door, I said for them to come in and in walks none other than President Snow. He smiles his wickedly smile, and comes over and snatches the baby from me, I started to freak out as he started to leave the room. Peeta ran out the door, and he never came back. Soon a Nurse came back and had told me Peeta, and Poppy were killed by Snow, I started sobbing. And screaming, and yelling, and crying. The Capitol took away everything I had left to love. I couldn't take it. I hated it. Then Snow came in with the lifeless bodies of my husband, and my baby.
Gale POV
They watched some movies and went back upstairs. I decided I could easily get Katniss now. I had too. I waited about ten minutes before I started running to their porch. I turned the knob on the door, which was locked. But Katniss would've put a spare key somewhere. I look under the mat, under a rock, and finally find it in a potted plant. I put the key in the whole and gently turn the knob. Thank god the door doesn't creak. I take the key out of the door knob and toss it back into the plant. I carefully shut the door and tip-toe upstairs. There are about three different bedrooms upstairs, one is already filled with stuff for a baby, wait, Her and Peeta were supposed to meet Tally a couple months ago, after she told me about the baby I asked her to meet Tally. I guess they forgot because I did too. I was too busy planning to get my Catnip back, Peeta doesn't deserve her. He's just full of lies.
I look into the room next to the babies, which has been turned into a studio for Peeta's paintings. I can't believe him. Turning a room that could be used for Katniss for him? He's so selfish. But of course Katniss loves him.
Being in District 2 has gotten me to thinking, I was so closed to Katniss, I told her I loved her, I kissed her, but now she was married, baby on the way. Living with….Him. I wondered If what I was doing was right, but of course it was, It was what should of happened. I should've been with Katniss. She should have loved ME! NOT HIM!
My anger gets the best of me, and I push the next bedroom door open. Katniss and Peeta are both asleep; Katniss' head is on Peeta's chest. Stupid Peeta, he ruined everything! I set my note down on the nightstand next to Katniss and flee the room as quick as possible. I run down the stairs, trying not to make any noise and rush out the door.
Katniss POV
I wake up screaming from my nightmare. Peeta turns around and holds me close.
"It's alright Katniss, It was only a nightmare. Nothing is going to happen." He says reassuring me. I rest my head on his shoulder and cry it out. What if that really happened? What if President Snow had won, and killed 2 people I loved? My life would be miserable. After I stop crying I lay back down for a bit and Peeta goes downstairs to make breakfast. Just some muffins. The last time we had muffins was months ago, before Peeta and I were speaking to each other, before he proposed, before we got married, Before he had another hallucination, and before we found out I was pregnant.
I sit up from the bed and prop myself up on my elbow. Peeta brought me some tea and set it on my nightstand. But that's not the only thing resting on my nightstand. A note. From who? Peeta? No, he tells me things, there's nothing he could only write down. I read the note, over and over trying to take this all in. It's from Gale.
Dear Catnip,
I'm back. In District 12. I needed to talk to you. Come Hunting with me today. Be out in the woods at noon. It's important.
Your best friend,
Gale.
I set the note down and hop downstairs. I sit down at the kitchen table and take this all in.
What does Gale want?
