The Boy Next Door (Everlark)[Discontinued]

Chapter 19

Katniss POV

"Let's move!" I yell.
So recently, I found a note that the demon would meet us here. Peeta, Ryan and Prim are with flashlights because the demon cutted the power. But luckily, we have the walkie talkies that works. "Katniss!" Prim calls. "Prim!" I yell back. "What's going on?" When I don't hear a response, I yell and scream in terror.

What's happening to Prim? Please tell me she's not dead.
I can hear the demon from the room next door but then I realized something.
Peeta was in that room.
"Peeta!" I yell scared. But I couldn't reach out to him, because I started to throw up in the toilet. "Katniss!" I hear him call. "Where are you?" "Bathroom," I answer throwing up. I can hear someone enter the door and I cover myself fearing the demon got him and that I was the next victim.

But Peeta was there badly bruised and a lot of scars. "Where's the kids?" I ask. "They went to Haymitch's house and I got them there way before the demon could reach them so they're safe." I sigh gratefully and before I can respond, I threw up again. "Katniss, are you-" "No," I cut him off. "Maybe I'm just sick." He nods unconvinced and wraps his arms around me. "I promise you'll live." I nod until the demon knocks on the door. "Come out suckers or I'll break down the door!" It states.

Peeta frowns and I tremble in fear knowing it'll probably kil one of us and leave the other to suffer. "No!" I yell but Peeta covers my mouth. "Fine," he huffs. I start to object but he opens the door and sees the red creature there. "Please," he begs. "Don't kill us. I promise we're innocent."

"How am I suppose to believe you?" The demon asks. We stay silent trying to come up with an answer. "Exactly. I have to kill you then." We both step back and hit the demon in the face, it suffers and wimpers in pain. I high five Peeta and he smiles only making the demon even more angry. "I'm not that easy Everdeen," it says. Peeta punchs it in the face and we ran outside locking the door.

We are scared to hell though. This was not a safe place and my mom was at a night shift and she hardly took care of me. As we ran to Haymitch's place, the demon steps infront of the door smirking. We scream and I cover my face with my hands. "Please, why do you want to kill us?" Peeta asks. "Because, I was ordered to kill you Peeta. Katniss never loved you, she just needed somebody she could afford to date."

"That's not true!" I scream. "I love him so damn much, that I lost my virginity to him! I wouldn't if I haven't even loved him." I can see Peeta nodding and I realize that I have to die for Peeta's life. I need to do that for him since he did so many things for me. Without him, I am broken.

"Take me," I offer. "No!" Peeta screams. "Take me. Katniss went through so much." The demon went up to him as he trembled in fear. "I want to take Peeta," it states. "That's why I'm here." Oh no. Those words didn't come out of the demon's mouth didn't it? I can't let Peeta lose his life. I'm not going to let him.

"What happens if you don't kill Peeta?" I ask curious. The demon looks at me and smirks. I shake and Peeta wraps his arms around me to help me. His warmth is what I want.
"A lot of terrible things Everdeen not just to you but your friends and loved ones."
