KATNISS'S POV:

~The smell of the grass was so strong I could taste it. Everything was peaceful. The rays of a golden sun seeped through thin oak leaves. I was at home here. This is the one place where everything came together for me. I could act myself and let all of my thoughts flow through my head. Birds chirped in a rhythmic tone and flew in a pattern that nothing could duplicate. Wind blew strands of hair in my face. Everything was alive here. Peace lived here. The forest.

I crunched along my usual path and examined some snares. An auburn deer trotted fight in front of me. I stood strong with my eyes trained on the deer. Taking the bow off my shoulder, I readied myself. Arching the arrow, pulling back, focusing. I was just a bout to release when the sound of my name stopped me. "Katniss." I turned around and dropped my bow.

Peeta. He strode over to me and stopped inches away. Peeta was strong and extremely muscular. His blue eyes were as bright as the sky but gently warming and cooling like the ocean. He had scars like me. His wrists had some burn marks that were fading but would never fully go away. He had on a goofy smile that played with all his features. He was remarkable. Though I, of course, would never tell him that.

Peeta lifted his hand and brushed my cheek, wiping away the stray hair. His thumb traced my upper lip. He slowly dropped his hand. His eyes searched mine. We stood there looking at each other. Just as he was about to say something, everything got fuzzy. Clear images smudged themselves. What is going…..~

"Hmmm", I cracked an eyelid and realized where I was exactly. I knew I wasn't in the forest. I knew it for sure. Yes, the train. Then I actually looked around my room on the train.

WOW. I felt as if I was under water. The walls were a warming blue with a hint of green. The ceiling sloped like a dome. In the middle of the ceiling was a white light. A box shade covered it and little crystals dangled from its corners. White chiseled dressers were up against the walls. Photos of the ocean covered the walls, but not enough to cover the sea paint. The oak flooring (I know because I spend most of my time in the woods) glistened; I assumed it had been polished recently. There was an oval lime green rug with a seashell in the middle.

I simply couldn't help admiring all of the small details of my room. There was a small box on the table stand next to my bed. It was glowing and blinked different numbers. It read 10:47 A.M. whatever that meant. All of these things were truly amazing. The Capitol really did go all out!

Even though I was memorized by everything, I couldn't help but smell a heavenly scent of smoked bacon entering my room.

A smile crept up my face and I threw my plush covers to the side. Finding something to wear was a little tricky. There were so many drawers and shelves. Finally I got out a pair of navy blue khakis and a white polo shirt. I know that because there are labels on EVERYTHING.

I wandered in the hallway until I found the source of the delicious smelling bacon. The kitchen was bright and lively; even though there was one person inside. The tables were filled with food. Eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, toast, the works. The buffet made my mouth water; I was surprised that I wasn't drooling.

"I wasn't sure what breakfast food you liked." Peeta looked up from what he was cooking and gave me a quick smile. His apron was coved in food fragments, and he has flower in his hair. There was a small crinkle in between his eyebrows; concentration looked quite well on him.

My heart felt very heavy…I needed someone to talk to. I wanted to talk to Peeta. I needed to talk to Peeta. So I had to find a way.

I, very quietly, snuck up behind him. Then I raised my hand and gently taped his muscular shoulder. Everything then happened in a blur. Peeta wasn't expecting that and jumped. His pan fell to the floor and the water in the pan splashed on his arm. He let out a small yell but didn't say anything. I picked up the pan with a flourish. "I am so so sorry Peeta! I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me." I looked at the floor ashamed. I felt terrible. All I wanted to do was ask if he wanted to talk. I made him get burned. He probably didn't want-

My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a hand under my chin. Peeta lifted my face and said, "Its fine. Really. Don't get upset…please. I have gotten plenty burns that have been far worse. Ovens are extremely dangerous." His smile made my heart swell up again. I smiled back at him. "Though I do have to ask you one question", he said in a shy tone. I looked straight into his eyes. "Anything", I told him. "Could you help me treat the burn; I was never really good with treating my injuries." He looked at me with his big blue eyes and I couldn't say no.

So, Peeta propped himself up on the kitchen table and peeled off his wet long-sleeve shirt. I didn't want to make him take off his undershirt, so I told him it was fine to keep it on. I went to a kitchen cabinet and pulled out a large bowl. Then, walking to the sink, I filled the bowl with warm water and grabbed a wash cloth.

I jumped up onto the table and placed the bowl in my lap. His entire left arm was a scarlet red. His shoulder looked like it was the only part of his arm that was untouched. I drenched the cloth in water and gingerly placed it on his arm. He sucked in a breath but said nothing. I continued. The skin was extremely sore and dead skin started to peel off. I would, once in a while, give a comforting smile to let him know I was there for him. He sat there with a strong yet warm look on his face. Dab, clean, rinse, wring, repeat. I did that for twenty minutes. When I was done, his arm was cut up but nothing drastically wrong.

"My arm feels so much better, thanks." Peeta looked me in the eyes and gave me a wide grin. "Well I couldn't just leave you when I caused it", my eyes drifted to his arm then back to his face. "Katniss by helping me, you don't owe me anything. I don't want you to feel…I don't know in debt to me." I was stunned by what he said. His words touched me. I could hear care in his voice and it made me smile. Peeta took a step closer and picked up his shirt behind me. He was pretty close to me and I could smell bread and something sweet. He had an adoring look in his face. "Thank you." He gave me a huge smile and a curt nod.

Peeta backed up a little and walked out of the kitchen. Before he was out of the door he whispered, "Enjoy the food", and was off.

I ate my full of food and then some. It all was so delicate and tasty. I wanted to eat everything. Though my stomach soon alerted me that I needed to stop. All I could think about was how Peeta was kind and caring and really knew how to cook.

The rest of our day was really bland. Peeta was in the lounge car drawing scenes of the woods outside. Effie and Hyamitch were in the bar arguing or possibly talking about how they were going to solve this "situation". They both told us that they were contacting the other trains and we would try to soon find an answer. I spent my day wandering around the cars and admiring all of the specifics. It truly was nice for a carriage carrying you to your death. Having that thought made the rest of my day a little less bright.

It was getting late and Effie was trying desperately trying to make a dinner of steak and corn. "Can you call Peeta in darling? I think he's in his room." She gave a tight smile and Hamitch simply rolled his eyes. "Don't forget to give him a good shove from me", he said. "Why", I asked, confused. "Because he let this one cook!" Now it was Effie's turn to roll her eyes

I walked out of the kitchen and toward the sleeping car. Peeta's door was across from mine so it wasn't hard to find. I knocked softly not even knowing if he was inside. Once I didn't get a response, I knocked a little harder. No answer. So I calmly opened the door a crack and whispered, "Peeta?"

His room was like being in the woods. It was green everywhere. The dressers even had leaf patterns painted on them with impeccable detail.

Peeta was lying on his stomach in his bed. His arms were above his head and his head was turned to the side. Blonde bangs were covering his eyes but I could still see the long eyelashes underneath. Peeta's breathing was at a steady rate and he looked at peaceful. I didn't want to wake him, but on the other hand, I didn't want him to go without dinner either. Even though our dinner probably wasn't the best thing we would eat on our trip. I tapped his good shoulder lightly and watched him stir a little. When I gave him a stronger push, he groaned with frustration. "Mmmm…one mooore minute…." Then when he realized that I was there, he rubbed his eyes and smiled. "Hey Katniss! I guess its dinner, right?" He threw off the covers and pulled some shoes on. "Yea, Effie is sadly cooking. Come on." I started walking out but Peeta grabbed my hand and pulled me toward him. We stood there, hands interlocked, staring. He slowly put his other hand on my waist and tugged me into a hug. I was surprised but raped my hands around his shoulders, being aware of his injury. Once he let go he spoke quietly but firmly saying, "Thanks." He let go of me and walked to the door and out to the hallway.

A small smile crept on my lips and I walked to the kitchen for dinner.
