Chapter 15- Peeta
As I lay my head back to sleep and noise comes out of the speaker. "Attention passengers, we are having some technical difficulties. We will stop at the nearest stop. We're very sorry for the delay." A delay? I need to see my family. I need to go home. Maybe the delay won't be too long.
I look at the news on the screen at the train station. I'm in district 8. The news feed says, biggest power outage in district five. "The biggest power outage ever in district five happened just an hour ago. The last power outage Panem had was during the rebellion. This is just a minor one. The workers say they are trying there best to turn the power back on. We'll have more information on this story." Says the woman on the news. The trains won't be able to operate. How am I going to get home? I could walk home, no. It's too far from 8 to 12. I'll never get to be home.
Suddenly I see a telephone next to the map of the districts. I could call Katniss. I insert a four quarters and dial the phone number. It rings for a little bit then stops. The power in the station shuts off. No one can see anything. Suddenly the emergency lights turn on. It's a little dim. This is the worst power outage for Panem. I need to go a hotel to stay for the night. In the morning I'll go home.
In my hotel room there's a couple candles I put up. There are two beds with lavender sheets and a TV in front. It's a decent hotel room, but it doesn't feel like home. In the morning I have to see my family. I miss them so much right now. I need to apologize to Katniss. I was hijacked. She killed Sally; she's a murderer… no. No she isn't she's my wife.
Suddenly I remember the picnic. Katniss and I watched Willow and Rye play in the soft green meadow. It's all coming back to me a little bit. I think more about the meadow and trail off to sleep…
She turned into a mutt. She's a dirty hideous mutt. Her sharp fangs bite my leg. The pain starts coming from my leg. I scream at her. In the green forest I see her walk away from me. Suddenly Willow stands by a Willow tree. Willow goes down to pet her. "WILLOW! GET AWAY FROM HER!" I yell at Willow. It's too late. She rips Willow's throat out. She killed her.
I wake up screaming. It's not real. She's not a mutt. It was a nightmare, a horrible nightmare. Katniss, I need her. Suddenly a knock comes from the door. Neighbors. I open the door. "What's with all the screaming? My family is trying to sleep!" A man yells. "I'm sorry, Sir. I won't keep you and your family up." I apologize. Suddenly a woman comes out, it must be his wife. "Are you Peeta Mellark?" She asks. "Yes. I'm sorry about the screaming earlier, Mam." "Kelly, we should go." He tells her. "It's nice meeting you. Hope you sleep well. Goodnight." She says. "Goodnight." I say and close the door. I check the time. It says 5:00 AM. Suddenly the lights begin to flicker. The power is back on. I hear a bunch of cheering throughout the hotel. I need to leave and go home. I decide to leave the hotel.
I dial the phone number on the telephone. It starts to ring. Please pick up, Katniss. Please pick up somebody. "Mellark residents." It's Katniss. "Katniss is that you?" I ask with my throat dry. "Yes. Peeta?" I hesitate for a little bit. "Katniss, I'm sorry about how I left you. You were right, about everything." I say. I hear her sobbing, "Peeta, I'm sorry too about killing Sally." "It's okay, Katniss. I'm coming home. We can solve everything there. I'm not hijacked anymore." "Please come home. The children, I I, showed them the book. I explained everything." She says. "Don't worry, Katniss. I'm coming home. The power outage made a delay on the train." I say. "So when will you come home?" "At six or seven this morning. I promise, Katniss. I'm coming home." "You promise?" "I promise.
Thank you guys SO SO MUCH for the reviews! I probably won't add any more games. This story is ending and I'm almost done with it. UGH. Sorry if I didn't post much, I had EXAMS. I have more.
