Author's Note: So, I kind of lied. Not really, but I got my computer fixed! The thing is though, they had to refurbish it, so I no longer have ANYTHING on my computer. So, I have none of my fanfics saved on my computer, none of the chapters, nothing. So. Luckily, I don't ever type up like 4 chapters at a time, so nothing was deleted that I needed to post. Everything is good for now, and I'm sorry for the scare! It's spring break now, I will be writing a lot!
So, Love you guys!
Happy Reading!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the hunger games, or the characters. The plot and idea was simply mine.
I feel the pinch of thorns as my hands grip tighter on the bouquet in my hands. I wince and glance down at the white roses in my hands, dripping with blood. My nose is flooded with the smell, and I quickly drop the flowers. I hands are covered in blood. I feel disgusted and wipe them onto my silk white dress. I look closer at my dress, and suddenly a veil is covering my face and I'm standing in front of brown double doors. I sigh before the doors swing open, revealing a church. I see my family and friends, dead and alive, sitting in rows of chairs. I look down the long aisle and see Peeta, standing with a smile on his face. I hesitate before my legs start dragging me down the carpet. I walk slowly, avoiding the gazes of all of everyone, and only focusing on one thing. Peeta.
I reach the end of the aisle, standing right in front of him. He takes my hand in his, and kisses the back of it. I suddenly begin to smell blood as I did when I was holding the roses. His gentle hands begin to lift up my veil, and I can see clearer. He is no longer Peeta, he is Snow. He smiles wickedly, and soon laughs, blood dripping from his mouth. He falls to the ground and I look out to the crowd of my loved ones. They all began to transform, mutate. Their faces morph into snouts and their skin to fur. They become the mutations from the first arena. I see them all staring at me, snarling and growling. One with brown eyes, with just a touch of gold begins to howl, and they all run for me.
I jolt awake, realizing I've had another nightmare. I look around the room and remember, I'm in his house. I've stayed with Delly and Peeta since I got here, but it's different now. Because I kissed him, and he kissed me back. I swing my legs over the bed in their guest room and begin to walk into the kitchen to get breakfast, but I'm ambushed by people. I almost forgot.
Today is the wedding.
I walk into the living room, Where there are Capitol people are everywhere. Picking out dresses, doing hair and makeup, looking at charts. I find Delly standing next to a lady with light blue skin and golden hair.
"Delly-" she cuts me off.
"One moment Katniss." She said holding up her finger. I sighed and stood there quietly while she arranged the food for her wedding with the Capitol lady. I still think all of these people are despicable, with their outrageous hair, skin and wretched accents. They were the people who put me into those horrid games, the games of murder, and killing. They were the reason we rebelled, the reason for the rebellion. The reason my sister is dead…
I struggle to hold back tears as Delly finished up with the lady. Delly turns to me with a smile on her face.
"Today's the big day!" She chirps and pulls me in for a hug. I hesitate, but hug her back. She pulls away and smiles again.
"Go with Odessa over there, she'll help you get ready." Delly says pointing to a woman in a dark purple suit, and bright red hair that is put into a bun with chopsticks. Her skin is a light purple, and lips a bright green. This ought to be fun.
I cautiously walk over to Odessa, who is leaning up against the wall near the guest bathroom. I get closer to her and she gives a weak smile.
"I'm Odessa, I'll be helping you prepare for the wedding." She holds out her hand and I shake it.
"Katniss Everdeen." I say. She sighs.
"I know who you are, everyone in Panem does! Now, come, come." She says turning and walking into the bathroom. I follow her into the bathroom and sit down in the chair she has for me. She begins to style my hair, while we make small talk. Eventually she moves onto makeup, and we continue to speak about little things. There's one question that caught me off guard.
"So, Things didn't work out for the 'Star-Crossed Lovers'?"
I little am stunned once this spills out of her mouth. My jaw drops open and I can't speak, I can't even think of any words to say. She notices my discomfort.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." She mutters before quickly finishing up my makeup.
"No, no. It's alright." I say quickly. "But, things didn't work out. I only wish they did…" I trail off, unable to finish my sentence.
"You still have feelings for that boy?" She asks, snapping her head around to look at me. I nod slowly.
"Yeah….I do…" I say slowly. She gasps.
"GIRL, YOU BEST GO FIGHT FOR YOUR MAN!" She exclaims. I'm taken back by her sudden burst, but I know it's true. I have to fight for the man I love, for my boy with bread.
I have to fight for Peeta.
A/N: YAY! So, Odessa Is a great person isn't she? :D
I'll have the next chapter up probably tomorrow! Review my lovelies!
Love you guys!
