The Evil Inside Us
By Elizthewiz
Chapter 9
"Katniss, can I talk to you for a second," I hear a squeaky voice
I mentally groan before I turn around. Delly stands before me in her Sunday Church dress. I can't stand Delly, she seems sweet on the outside but on the inside, she's a dirty manipulator. And she's Peeta's friend.
"Sure, Delly," I give her a fake smile
"Listen Katniss, I've noticed how you and Peeta have been hanging out around each other... More than usual," She starts
"What's your point?"
She leans towards me. "You can't have Peeta, our parents are close and are trying to get us together. It's not going to be Peeta and Katniss, it's going to be Peeta and Delly. You can't be in the picture," She glares at me
"Delly, if you haven't noticed, I have a boyfriend," I hiss at her
"Yes, and I pray for both you and your boyfriend. I heard ya'll are living in sin. You better pray to God that he forgives you,"
"I hope God didn't happen to see you and Peeta's brother having sex," I smirk
She gasps. "I swear to God Katniss Everdeen, if you let that out I will ruin you," She threatens me
"Peeta doesn't even want you," I insist
She looks at me with anger in her eyes. "If you say anything Everdeen at anytime, I will make sure you are ruined in this town,"
I shrug. "He's going to find out, and we'll all know just how unchristian like you really are,"
"Watch out Everdeen," Is all she says before turning around to leave
I hate Delly.
Peeta and I walk down the beach hand in hand. The wind is very strong. It's making my hair flow in the wind.
"It seems really peaceful right now," I say watching the waves hit the beach
"I'm glad we found a place that gives us a new place to start over," Peeta says
"I have a little more hope now. The groups expanding, and we have more space. All we need is protection," I sigh
"We'll get our fences up. No one will be able to touch us,"
We continue walking. I notice something by the rocks that are on the beach. I point towards them. "Peeta? Do you see that?" I ask him
We make our way over there and see a body. It looks like a woman's body. She looks dead. Peeta bends down to take a look at the woman. I hear her cough and she turns around. I gasp, seeing her face. It's Delly...
How is she here? Why is she near our land? What are the odds of us meeting again.
"Delly?" Peeta asks. "Is that really you?" I see excitement in his eyes.
I suddenly remember a few days before the outbreak, her threats. I never found my way of telling Peeta. I mean who remembers to tell your boyfriend about his best friend and his brother sleeping together when an outbreak is occurring.
"Peeta!" She says excitedly, then she notices me by him. "And Katniss," She tries to hid the displeasure in her voice.
Peeta reaches down to help Delly up. I roll my eyes, but still help the girl, seeing as she looked nearly dead.
"What are you guys doing here? I'm glad you came and found me," She turns on her sweet girl act.
"Katniss and I were taking a walk like we usually do," Peeta tells her
She looks at me with disgust. "Are you two together, Katniss?" I detect the evil in her voice.
I smile and nod, not wanting to say anything to Delly.
"How exciting," Delly fakes a smile towards Peeta.
I can feel her thoughts right now. It's not going to be Peeta and Katniss, it's going to be Peeta and Delly.
We take her back to the group. She's sharing the house with Clove. I know she wanted to stay in the house with Peeta and I, but there is no way I would let that happen. She gets cleaned up. She wears these fresh clothes and sits with us at the table.
I feel something kick my leg. I look up and see Johanna nudging her head towards the door. I excuse myself before walking with Johanna outside. Clove meets us by the door.
"Listen, I don't trust this bitch. Sure, I didn't trust this bitch, Clove for like two seconds," She says pointing to Clove. "But this bitch I don't and will not trust,"
"She's Peeta's best friend, what can I do but sit and watch?" I shake my head.
"Katniss, you know her. Do you know if she has any feelings for the guy?" Clove ask
"Yes, she's in love with him!" I start telling them about the day that Delly threatened me. Johanna shakes her head out of disgust.
"Are you serious, Katniss? We need to get her out!" Clove says
"Yea, tell Peeta what you told us," Johanna says
"I don't think she'll be telling anyone anything," Her voice rings in my head
She walks toward us eyeing everyone. "Listen, I'm staying here with you guys. Get used to it," Delly spits at them. She turns to me and smirks. "Let this be a warning Katniss, I will be watching you. Peeta's not going to stay with you forever. He'll realize eventually and I'll help him along the way,"
"You stay away from my boyfriend. You messed up your chance when you let yourself be in the friendzone with him. He's mine," I remind her
She crosses her arms. "Why don't you just go back to Gale? Let me have something for once in my life where you don't come in and take it from me!" She yells stomping off into the house.
"That bitch is crazy," Johanna says
"Agreed,"
