Peeta POV
After the incident with the lady, Katniss, and getting up off her I finally breath. She was so close. She looks at me quietly with a blank expression and I can't help smiling. She instantly smiles back.
"Katniss!" someone calls in horror. We both look at the direction of the voice. She stops smiling.
"Katniss are you ok?! Darius heard a scream and came and his saw it was you!" the man says looking with wide eyes at her. Then he looks at me. "Does this man hurt you?" he is now angry, pointing a finger at me. I just stay silent.
"Oh ah, Gale no I was tired, but I couldn't sleep and I decided to go for a walk, and I was admiring the sea and I wanted to see a thing, eeh the the…"she says nervous moving her head as if trying to remember something. He looks at her quizzically.
"The propellers?" he asks.
"Yes!" Katniss almost screams startling us all. "The propellers, and then a slipped and he was near and he saw me and saved me."
"Is that what happened?" Gale asks me. Katniss looks at me, begging me not t say a word.
"Yes" I say nodding. "That was pretty much it" I say looking at her. She looks relieved. I guess now we share a secret.
The man called Darius nods his head. He suspects but doesn't dare to say a word; but then he decides and says. "Well then, he is a hero" getting near me and patting my back. "Well done".
Gale grab Katniss hand and start to pull her towards him. Katniss looks resistant. "Let's go Katniss you are freezing". He doesn't even looks at me.
"Sir you might want to give the boy a reward for saving your fiancé" He remarks "fiancé".
"Oh alright, is 20 enough?"
Katniss scowls "You are going to pay him that? For saving the woman you love?"
"Ok then, let me think"he says with an exagereted "thinking face".
"Join us to diner tomorrow night, to tell our group your heroic act."
"Sure. I'll go" I say with a shrug.
"Its settle then" he says nodding and turning around. "This should be interesting".
Darius befor turning back he looks at me moving his eyes up and down. I just look back at him seriously.
"Its interesting that lady Katniss slipped so suddenly and you got time to take out your jacket and shoes". I look down remembering that I took those things out while telling Katniss that I would have jumped after her.
Darius says nothing else and then he turns and walk away
