"And now the boys" Effie squeaks cheerfully. "Peeta Mellark!"
I find myself running to the center.
"Stop! I volunteer! I volunteer for him!"
Why was i doing this? Whats happening?
"My my my, 2 volunteers for district 12. Isn't this exciting"
Its starts raining, The water is about 3 foot now. Everyone is gone.
Silence.
I wake up awkwardly. Rain smashing down on my face. I must of been out for at least a few hours. I grab my game bag, Making sure that everything is still inside it. I run under a tree, Still raining heavily but its the best i place i can find. If it starts to thunder and lightning, I'm screwed. I hear thunder and start running as fast as i can. Avoiding running through big trees and stay near the grass. I'm in the clearing now. I can't tell if its sweat or rain dripping down my face.
I run to the fence, It isn't on. But i have to be careful. The lightning could hit it and I'd be dead. Without thinking i charge through the gap, Not wasting anytime. I'm safe. I start running through the seam along the mud and dirt paths. I run past the bakers, Lights off and empty. I continue running till i reach my home, Creaking the door open and sliding in.
My mother is at the table, Feasting on what looks like a blue swirly muffin. A BLUE SWIRLY MUFFIN! "Peeta?" I say shyly. My mother just nods, In ecstasy from the divine taste. I just smile at her. I walk over to the brown bag. It seems Peeta has added some other stuff to the bag. A few pies and rolls. I just take them out of the bag and place them all on the table. "Luckily he dropped them off after the kids were in bed, Otherwise there would be none left. I'm thinking if we give them half a muffin each for breakfast as a treat. And then the rest for a special occasion?" My mother say delightfully. "I was rather surprised when Peeta Mellark came to our door, I mean he is a victor."She added.
I just rolled my eyes at her playfully. Suddenly i heard our toilet flush. I look at my mother confused. "Oh i'm sorry, Did i give you the impression that he left?" She said with a smirk. I glared at my mother. Peeta slowly walked into the kitchen area. "Oh, Sorry Gale. You didn't arrive so i just decided to drop them off!" Peeta said nervously. I gave Peeta a half smile. I was grateful that he had dropped them off, But i felt like i was talking to the enemy. "You get my squirrel?" Peeta finally asked. "Oh, Yeh sorry." I said.
Pulling open my bag, Placing its contents on the table, Finally pulling out the Squirrel. I past it over to peeta who took it gracefully. "Thanks, My father will love it. Just ugh, Don't tell anyone about the bread thing. Me and my mother nodded knowingly. "Well, I best be on my way. There is cameras are here to see me and Katniss so i best get going." I felt something stir inside of me. I gritted my teeth and forced a smile. Leading Peeta to the door. "Don't eat them all at once!" Peeta said cheerfully before exciting our home. I i just nodded with my fake smile and closed the door.
Once he left i let out a breath i hadn't known i was holding. I just walked over to my mother and kissed her on the head. Walking into the bathroom i saw something reflecting light on top of the toilet. I picked it up. It was a watch, It looked really expensive. It must be Peeta's. I held it in my hands for a while, Then walked up to my bedroom, Still grasping it between my fingers. I placed it on a stand in the room before tucking myself under neath my blanket. This time i felt more tired then i had in ages. Letting myself be taken away by the night. But tonight no thoughts crossed my mind. Just the image of rain in the meadow.
