Rose on Fire

Chapter 90

(Peeta POV)
I wake up, Katniss is gone, I walk out and hear voices coming from up the hall, I hear Paylor talking to Katniss. I listen closely, then I hear footsteps approaching after a few minutes of their talking, and quickly run to to the art room, trying to make each foot step as light as possible. I reach the doorway, lay back in the spot I was, and watch Katniss pass the open door. I count to 45 before exiting, and seeing Paylor open the door to a locked room. I go up to her, "So did you hear the conversation," she says without looking at me, a soft smile across her face. "Thanks for not telling her," I say. "No problem, you can trust me, but your defiantly going to have a rough time stoping her from being on that team," she says. "Well she still gets to kill Snow, so I would say that's what she wants the most, and she'll probably be happy with that," I reply. We wrap up the conversation, and leave getting ready for tomorrow. Today we will do a few propos with Katniss, then we're off to battle tomorrow. I'm still worried to leave, I would be worrying Katniss, and if I die out there my child will never know their father. I remember the first time I heard their heart beat, Paylor has sensors in every room to know how many people are in it just by their heart beat, she recorded it only a few days ago and let me listen, it was Katniss and I's room, the door, never opened, but there were three heart beats in the room. I'm going to be a father.
