This is just a small... well tiny peek into Peeta after Katniss rescued him.
I don't own THG characters nor The Little Mermaid world. Enjoy!
Her voice.
I can't stop thinking about that voice.
It was full of sentiment and... there was a strange feeling behind it. I couldn't focus on the face of the girl singing. I felt her close to me yet far away. I tried opening my eyes but I only saw a blur. I could make out the silhouette of a braid and that's it. How I wish I could have touched her face, to feel her one time but my whole body was weak and I couldn't move my hands.
I open my eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the bright light coming from the windows. I'm lying down on my bed, covered with a bedspread. I bring my hand to my forehead but this slight movement makes my head throb. My throat is raw from the sea water I must have swallowed. I look at the bedside table, hoping to find a glass of water when the doors to my room open.
"Ah, you're awake." Finnick says.
"You thought I was still sleeping after what happened?" I ask sarcastically.
"Good to see that you still can joke." He chuckles when he reachs my side. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I swallowed a lot of water." He rolls his eyes.
"Do you remember anything?" He asks.
"I only remember when the ship exploded and then when I was in the beach." I say.
"I'm still mulling in my head how the heck did you get to the shore. After the explosion, we searched everywhere for you but we didn't find you so we left." He tells. "And then I find you lying down on the beach, totally passed out."
"Did anyone drown?" I ask concerned.
Finnick looks at me and then starts laughing.
"What?"
"No one drown except you, man." He says.
"I didn't drown." I say.
"Yes, you did." He insists.
"I was saved. Someone saved me, Finnick." I confess. "I think it was a girl."
"A girl?" He raises an eyebrow. "How is that possible?"
"I don't know!" I say a bit loud. "But she had the most beautiful voice." I smile.
"I think the sea water ruined your pretty brain." He jokes.
"I'm not joking. I heard her voice." I say.
"Well, maybe it was the girl that helped us search for you." He thinks.
"What? Agh..." My head's hurting even worse.
"Forget it, Peeta. You need to rest now." He suggests. "I'll tell Effie to bring you a glass of water and some food."
"Alright, but we still need to talk about this." I say.
He nods and walks away, closing the door.
Was everything that happened a dream? Maybe I was brought back to the shore by the waves, but I clearly remember feeling a pair of arms pulling me to the sand when I had regain consciousness. I don't care if they don't believe me. I'm going to search for this girl and ask her the truth. I'll do anyhting just to see her again.
Next chapter we will be back to Katniss's POV and I'm thinking about doing one in Coin's POV too. Evil seawitch ;) Review pleaseee :)
