Now in this chapter, Katniss meets Peeta for the first time and something happens between them. Aww le amour...

I don't own THG characters nor The Little Mermaid world. Enjoy!

I continue staring at the big black spot above me. What is that?

I need to see it with my own eyes so I swim fast, getting out of the cavern and not minding Haymitch calls. I swim to the surface and emerge slowly. The sky is already dark-blue with the moon big in the night sky and a few clouds, covering the stars, but what calls my attention is the magnificent ship that is bursting with colours from everywhere. I push some of the wet strands of hair off my face to get a better look. I have never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life.

"Katniss, what do you think..." Haymitch trails off and stares at the ship dumbfounded.

"It is so beautiful." I say.

I have to get closer to the ship. I have to understand why are they launching millions of colours into the sky.

I dive underwater again and swim until I'm getting closer to the moving ship. From underwater, it feels like the colours are on top of the surface, getting stains of oranges, reds and yellows on the water. I emerge again and now I'm standing by the ship. I can hear various loud voices coming from the ship and also music. I look to my side and see Haymitch and Gale far away from me, just watching what I'm doing. I turn around and hold onto a clapboard of the ship, trying to climb higher. I look up and see an opening on the ship's wall. I climb in that direction and, very slowly and cautiously, grab onto the floor's wood board and take a peek. I gasp at the sight.

So many humans.

Mostly, they are all males. They are all dancing to the sound of the music but I can't discover the origin of it. They all have the same clothes. I think they are sailors.

I just keep admiring them. The way they move. The big smiles on their faces. I have never wished something so badly as to be one of them.

Suddenly I see movement coming towards me, so I let go of the board and hide against the ship's wall quickly. I stay like that, hoping that no one saw me but when I take a peek from the side, I'm faced with an weird animal. He gives me a huge lick on my cheek, getting my right side full of dribble.

"Here, Al!"

The weird animal turns to the sound of the voice and runs away from me. I sigh. I follow the weird animal, looking for the voice and see him stop in front of one of the male humans. He starts jumping up and down and when I look at the male's face, I could swear I felt my heart and breathing stop. I grab the board tightly.

He is the most handsome male human I have ever seen.

"Al, come on! Stop!" The male says.

I have never felt something like this. My heart is beating fast and I have a weird sensation on my stomach. What's happening to me?

The male has such blue eyes, they shine under the moon light, and he has wavy blonde hair. I have this huge urge to run my hands over it. I shake my head. His face holds a strong jaw and a sweet smile on his lips. I smile. He is the only one dressed in different clothes. So he isn't a sailor.

"Well, lets turn down the music." I hear another male say. This one is also very handsome. He also has wavy hair but its colour is copper and he looks very muscled beneath the waist coat and white shirt. His eyes are a soft green and he has a smirk on his lips.

"As you know," He starts. "I have a very special gift to give to this wonderful man, here beside me." He slings his arm around the blue eyed male's shoulder.

"You know, Finnick, you shouldn't have." The blue eyed male says.

"Man, you are my best friend and also as your conselour, I had to." Finnick slaps the blue eyed male's shoulder. "Happy birthday, Peeta."

One of the sailors grabs the blanket covering the big gift and removes it. Underneath it, there's a big statue of Peeta dressed in some kind of royal clothes, I think, in a powerul pose holding an object I don't recognize. He looks so different with those clothes. He doesn't look like himself.

"Well..." I see Peeta leave Finnick's side and walk closer to the statue. "It's... It's something."

"I was hoping you would use this as a way to find a girl." Finnick states.

Peeta chuckles. "You're still sad because I haven't found one?"

"Peeta, as your conselour, my main concern now is to help you find a girl for you to marry." Peeta shakes his head. "You are going to become king of this kingdom and you need to find a girl to marry. No one wants a single king."

"Finn, you worry too much." Peeta starts walking in my direction. I take an in-take of breath. I quickly hide again, trying to blend in with the shadows. I look up and see Peeta gazing into the ocean. I keep staring at him.

"I still have a few years to find the one. I know she is out there... somewhere..." Peeta smiles. "And when I find her, it will be like... BANG! Right through the heart."

There's a loud rumbling. I look in front of me and see black clouds coming towards the ship, bringing with them lightning and strong wind. Suddenly the ship starts shaking strongly and I have to hold tighly at some ropes near me. I feel the strong wind hitting me on my face, almost making it impossible to open my eyes.

The waves are getting bigger by the minute and the ship is navigating them with difficulty. I just hope they get safe to land.

"Katniss!"

I try to see who said my name but the wind and gigantic waves block my sight of anything but the ship. I feel my hands getting wet and slippery and then I let go of the rope. I'm thrown back and fall into the ocean. It is more calm here but I need to see if Peeta is alright. I have to help him get to land. I reemerge and see the ship getting hit by a strong lighting. Suddenly there's a fire starting at one of the ship's sails. No...

I swim against the waves, trying to get closer to the ship but it is heading to some sharp rocks. It happens so sudden when the ship hits the rocks and the male humans fall out of the ship and into the ocean. All I can think about is dive in and search for Peeta.

"Katniss!" I turn around and see Haymitch and Gale heading my way.

"What do you think you are doing?!" Haymitch shouts above the wind and waves' crashing against each other.

"I-"

Something explodes behind me. I turn around quickly and gasp. The ship is on fire and is already starting to sink. Large pieces of wood and other boxes are floating around the sinking ship. I look around, trying to see if Peeta made safely onto the life boat but they are already sailing away. No... You can't leave him.

I swim closer to the destruction, ignoring Haymitch's angry calls, and look for Peeta.

Suddenly I hear a harsh breathing behind me and when I turn, Peeta is passed out, holding a small piece of wood. I swim to him but a strong wave comes and makes him lose balance. He falls into the water, so I dive in fast and reach for him. He is kind of heavy but I pull him up quickly. We emerge and I hold him closely to me, not letting go while I'm swimming towards land and away from the sunken ship.

I know this story only has three chapters so far but I only got two reviews for the first. I'm sad :( So be kind and tell me your opinion. You don't have to write an elaborated review. "It was good :)" it's enough.
