The Evil Inside Us
By Elizthewiz
Chapter 2
As apart of the plan, Finnick sounds the car alarm off. He jump in car and starts it up quickly. He speeds past the alley towards the herd of walkers. The walkers turn to follow the car.
"Go," Johanna pushes me into the street. Most of the walkers are following Finnick, so they are not in my way. I sprint to the store. I kick in the door and take out my pistol. I search the store for any walkers by scanning the aisles. When I'm sure there is none, I put my pistol away and start searching for supplies. I know I have to look quickly because thoese walkers walkers can only be distracted for so long.
I get bottles of medicine and food into the bag. I look around for more and I realize there is a back room. I go there to see if they have anymore supplies we need. I open the door and immediately know they have a few walkers in here. I can smell the stench and trust me this smells horrible. I back up and try to close the door back slowly but I hear groan. And then there is another one. Great.
I try to kick the door close but they come to quick. I drop the bag and take my pistol out. I start shooting at the, as quick as I can. One by one they all fall. I bend over to pick the bag of supplies back up, thinking all the walkers were gone. I hear a growl. Knowing I won't have much time to turn and kill it, I push forward with the bag.
A gun shot goes off and I look up. Peeta stands there with his gun.
"Alright?" He asks looking around. He reaches out his hand to me. I take it and he helps me up.
"Yeah...thanks," I grab the bag of supplies and hand them to him. I start to walk out of the store.
"Hey," Peeta grabs my hand. "You did good," He tells me
"If it wasn't for you, I probably would've been bitten," I confess
"I always have your back Katniss," He reminds me
I nod and lean to kiss him on the cheek. "I know,"
We return to camp the next hour, bringing in all the supplies we found. It took us awhile to get back because we had to hurry up and get Finnick from the walkers.
As soon as we got to camp, Finnick hops out of the car to look for Annie. Johanna grabs the food so she can get some stuff cooked. Peeta looks at me once and then leaves the car.
I know Gale is probably waiting for me to get back. I look for Prim instead because I need to check on her.
Prim is sitting with Haymitch on a log. Haymitch sees me and nudges Prim. She looks at me and smiles.
"I was kinda worried about ya'll for a second. The sun was slowly going down and I slowly got a little nervous," She admits
"You don't have to worry about me Prim, I'll always come back to you," I hug her and rub her back.
"Kat, I know you're strong and stuff but I'm your sister. It's my job to worry about you,"
I laugh at her. "Alright, Alright,"
"Hey, Gale was looking for you," Prim tells me
"Of course he was," I sigh
She narrows her eyes at me. "Things haven't been good with you and Gale for awhile. Even before the walkers came. Are things fine with him?" She asks
I shrug, "He's changed. He really changed since these walkers came but then again I've changed too,"
"How so?"
"I just have. I don't know if I want Gale anymore," I admit
"Then why not break it off with him?"
"Because, I would hate to hurt him,"
"Look, everyone is out there eating. Just come on," I whimper
"Katniss, we're walking a very thin line here," Peeta tells me
"No one knows except for Johanna. Just come with me in the RV. If anyone comes in, we'll just tell them we were talking about plans for our group. I mean we are practically the leaders," I insist
He sighs but eventually nods his head. I smile and take his hand. I drag him into the Rv and I lock the door. He walks towards the back of the van. I slide the door to the hallway closed and pull the curtains down.
"How'd you get this RV?" Peeta asks
"Prim and I rented it for vacation. We were going to take it across Panem but we never got the chance to," I shrug
"If you still want to do that, I'll take you and Prim, one day,"He suggests
"Of course you would," I smirk
"Hey, I'm here to make you happy," He winks
"Why are you so sweet to me?"
"You know the answer already,Kat," He says quietly
Oh right because he loves me. Do I love him? Maybe. I've always liked him from afar before this whole affiar with the word going crazy.
Gale never did like Peeta and I see why. He was scared Peeta would take me away from him, which he kinda did. I have been unhappy with Gale for awhile. We just don't fit together like I though he would. We don't connect together like a puzzle piece finding its pair. I should break up with him, but I can't bring myself to do it.
I sit next to Peeta and lay my head on his chest and wrap my arms around his waist. He rubs my back
"I wish we could stay like this forever," I whisper
"We could, but that's your choice,"
I sigh. "I know you want me and believe me I do want you, but...Gale,"
"I'm not going to tell you what to do, or force you to do anything. It just hurts seeing that he can kiss you whenever he wants to, andhe can climb into bed with you any night. But me? I have to wait till we're alone. I have to stop myself from reaching over to kiss you but I'm not going to do anything. It's your choice," He sighs
I look away from him feeling guilty. He is right, but I'm a coward. I want to break up with Gale. I can't keep Peeta waiting and waiting for me.
Peeta tilts my chin up so he could look at me. "Hey," He says "Calm down. Don't shut me out,"
He leans in to kiss me and I meet him halfway. His hands go up my shirt and his touch warms my skin. I know I want more.
Before I do anything else, someone knocks on the Rv's door. I groan and softly push Peeta away from me. I fix my shirt so it doesn't look like I was doing anything.
"Try not to look like you just made out with me," I wink at Peeta before opening the door.
It's Gale who is at the door, great.
"Why was the door locked?" He questions me and that kind of angers me
"Because it's my RV," I roll my eyes at him. "Besides, I was talking to Peeta about important things for our group,"
He snorts. "Yeah, like you can lead a group," He says sarcastically
I fold my arms. "Gale, you know damn well I am a great leader, It's not like you can lead a group,"
He glares at me. "You know, I didn't come over here to talk about this. Can you come with me to talk?" He asks
"Sure," I sigh stepping out of the RV
