so chapter 2 and stuff, i figured out how to get word on my computer which is helpful i guess. Again all errors are mine and enjoy.
I ate my breakfast the next morning quietly trying to mentally prepare myself for the gruelling day ahead. Training was always difficult, last year it was sizing up my competitor, this year it was trying to find allies to save Peeta. Speaking of Peeta he was nowhere to be seen, apparently he didn't appreciate my storming off yesterday after the dinner and had already gone to wait. I finished up and walked slowly to the training centre meeting Peeta' s gaze for a moment he gave me a little smile. Christ learn to stay mad Peeta. We walked in and split up, I walked over the talk to Wiress and Beete we spoke for a while I then wandered over to Finnick' s district partner Mags, she was sweet I liked her. I was terribly scared Finnick would leave her in the games. I surveyed the room and caught the site of Johanna twirling her axe in the air. I stared memorized at the intricate motions. She locked eyes with me and something inside me stirred, I stalked towards the shooting area and showed off my shooting skills. When I finish I turned around and sauntered from the room locking eyes with a dumbfounded expression on her face. I smirked at the power I'd excreted, and left the room.
It was the afternoon and time to be pulled on our chariots, after a pep talk from my stylist Cinna I was ready, I gently petted the horse when I felt hands slip round my waist I heard a velvet voice in my ear "sugar cube? They're meant to be for the horses but I figured with the situation we're in we have to grab something sweet…while we can" Finnick said. I scowled, we continued our conversation honestly I wasn't interested my eyes scanned around the area looking at people's outfits avoiding Finnick' s because let's just say, there wasn't a lot to look at in the clothes department. Peeta then came up behind me, holding my hand, damn him he knew I couldn't pull away. Sweet idiot. We set off and unlike all the other victors me and Peeta glared at Snow, while I looked composed inside the threat of him killing my sister, my mother and Gale still lay in my mind. But we made it through, I felt a little better but interviews still rested on my shoulders. Me, Haymitch and Peeta stepped into the elevator discussing the interviews and what we'll have to say. What I'll have to sell. Just as the doors were beginning to close a manicured hand slipped through the door pushing it open. In stepped Johanna in an uncomfortable looking dress, she looked me in the eyes and said "how does it feel now the whole capitol wants to sleep with you? " her eyes flickered to Peeta indicating that the question was directed at him. "Um" Peeta coughed nervously at the attention, "unzip" Johanna asked turning to give Peeta access. "Sure" he smiled, always the gentlemen even I could hear the venom in my inner voice...was I jealous? Of Johanna? Bullshit I don't want Peeta' s attention I get plenty of it. Johanna slipped out of her dress revealing that she had nothing on underneath. I diverted my eyes to Peeta who had suddenly become very interested in the floor, I looked to Haymitch to see him smirking. Men. I kept my eyes away from Johanna annoyed with how she flaunted her body around. The elevator dinged, Johanna stepped out but turned before the doors closed again "this was fun, let's do it again sometime" she looked my body up and down causing me to blush and winked at me. That was…weird.
Peeta walked me to my room again "hey Katniss I'm really sorry about that…with Johanna, I didn't know she would do that I swear I didn't look" he continued to ramble, I smiled at him " it's fine, you can look at who you want, I don't own you Peeta" I said, his face fell, crap I thought that'd help but it appears I messed up…again. I sighed "bye Peeta" I give up, I don't get people. I huffed and lay on my bed, my mind wandered to the skills session and what I'd do... sleep eventually consumed me.
My skills session, had gone…well, it was interesting after a lecture from Effie a hug from Peeta and an awkward exchange with Haymitch I was alone again. Thank God. With the interviews impending I took a long shower, as the hot water cascaded over my body I thought of how last time I was here, I was ready, ready to win for Prim now I didn't know what I felt. I needed to survive for my sister, to keep her safe but Peeta needed to get out, Haymitch was right no matter how many lives I lived I'd never be as good as him. I felt tears stream down my face, or maybe it was the water, I didn't care. I wrapped my hands around my waist trying to hold myself together desperately. I let out a painful sob, I didn't understand why this was happening. What did I do to deserve this? When I calmed myself down I stepped out of the shower drying myself and my face carefully. Pulling myself back together I stepped into my room wearing a tank top with shorts. I jumped to see Johanna lying on my bed playing with my pillow case. She was stripped of any capitol chemicals, she looked up at me and frowned. She strides towards me and my heart rate went up, was she going to kill me? Her hand went out to caress my cheek, her thumb stroked gently across the skin. I shivered at the touch, why I have no idea. My mind was racing, what does she want? "You've been crying" her voice was soft, something I'd never heard before. I subconsciously leaned into her touch, "yeah" my voice was scratchy, I winced at the sound of it. "Why? Tell me" her hand had moved and began to stroke my arm, leaving goose bumps there. "Why are you here Johanna?" I said pulling away. "Hey please don't" her hands slipped around my waist pulling me closer, I wanted to give in, something in my body wanted to and I scared me. I didn't like Johanna she was loud, rude and overbearing. Yet here she was being kind, considerate, and soft. I was very confused.
"Why are you here?" I repeated again harder this time but not pulling away, her hands were resting on my hips, rubbing little circles into my shorts, it was very distracting "I just…I really wanted to…" she paused looking down "see you" she whispered the last part, the room seemed to lose all oxygen. I jerked away "why?! What's this about? Why would you want to do that?! Is this some kind of game to you?! Am I some kind of game!? " I was practically screaming at this point. I wanted her to go now. Suddenly Peeta burst through the door " oh that's just perfect of course you're here right now" I screamed sarcastically at Peeta, his face was confused as he looked between the two of us "Katniss did she hurt you?" Peeta spoke evenly. "Oh you'd love that wouldn't you, the boy with the bread swoops in to save the day" I stated bitterly I'd calm down now slightly due to the fact Johanna had seized my hips again and had gentle slipped her hands under my shirt and was tracing random shapes there. "Katniss its ok, please just breathe" Johanna spoke almost as calmly as Peeta. I did as she instructed breathing in and out softly trying to calm my beating heart down to a normal rate. Peeta stared at Johanna as if she'd grown a third head, I shared his shock but I didn't like it, something nagged inside me, the same thing I felt in the elevator. I just didn't like it. "Just…get out" I said "both of you" I looked Johanna in the eyes and smiled sadly at her. "I'll see you at the interviews tomorrow I guess" Johanna muttered hurt and slumped out. I felt pain shoot through me, when Peeta wore the same look. God I was a bitch sometimes. I collapsed on my bed wishing it would consume me to save me from tomorrow. I fell asleep with thoughts of the arena and Johanna mason.
