Chapter 9

At this moment, I'm hysterical. I try and slam the cupboard close but something is in the way. I look in to see what it is, and it's a white rose. After that, all I remember is hitting the hollow wooden floor with a thud.

I seem to fall into a dream. One after another, just hitting each other right in the face.

The first dream is about Prim. She's sitting by the meadow and Rue is stroking her golden silky hair. A smile crosses my face. She and Rue are singing a tune that is unknown to me in particular. They hum the mellow tune and I follow closer and closer to their voices. As I get closer, things get more and more distorted. The beautiful Prim and Rue that were once singing tunes are now Muttations. The silky gold fleece of the mutt moving nearer and nearer. The other one, with its coarse brown hair, following close behind. They pounce on my chest sending me backward and then black.

The second dream is about Peeta. He's sitting by the beach and fumbling through the sand, looking innocent, as usual. He finds a Pearl, similar to the one I had, and scans the place for anyone to give it to. He finds me and looks at me deeply. I feel his stare following to my chest and beating through my soul. He comes closer to me with his hand extended, and the closer he gets, the more clear it becomes that his eyes are deathly blue. He pulls a knife and then black.

The final dream was about President Snow. I find a white rose growing outside my house and smile. I pluck it from the others and sit by the fireplace constantly examining the flower. How all the petals perfectly fall into place, right above the stem. Its perfect, there are no flaws present. I take in a whiff of the flower, and I can almost taste the blood. I jerk back throwing the rose into the fire. All I can think is, no one will fully understand - how it's not just a flower, not even just President Snow's flower, but a promise of revenge. Black.

I wake up clutching the skin beside me. I must have hurt him, because he gasps. I try and get a word out, but I am too lost. I am so terrified, right here, right now. I am so scared of my own thoughts and just accessing them seems impossible. I can't speak. Nothing I just lay here, in some sort of insane, mental coma.

"Katniss!" Peeta yelps. I just lay, nothing else is said. All my memories flash in my mind, the beating of Gale, Rue's death, Prim's death, the District 11 speech, seeing the television "special" in Mayor Undersee's house, Peeta's hijacking, the first tribute I intentionally killed, my father's death. Everything. All I manage to do is curl up beside Peeta.

I stare in the darkness, letting nothing but emptiness fill my mind. My arm reaches out over Peeta and I am caught in his warm embrace. The horrible dreams flood my mind and eventually I go to sleep.
