Call Me Slayer

Chapter One

I step out of the bathroom and Peeta grabs my arm and starts dragging me to the meeting hall. While he is dragging me there, I couldn't help but think about what happened in the bathroom. I don't understand how I could shoot fire out of my bare hands. I can't possibly be... no, I can't be the next-

My thoughts were cut off as we enter the Hall. The meeting hall has tall, white walls and a black-stained cement floor. The roof is a a one-way window and there's a long oak table in the center of the room.

"Hello mother. Hello father." I greet my parents.

"Hello Haven." They reply. I take my wrist out of my brother's grasp and sit down at the table, glaring at him.

We start eating our meal and my mind wanders back to what happened earlier. I had seen my arm light up in an odd pattern and then...yeah.

"Slay. Slayer. HAVEN!" My brother's voice breaks me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I ask. "Do you need something?"

"Ugh. Teenagers. Do they ever listen?" My mom groans.

"Wait a minute, I'm a teenager!" Peeta says.

"I know." Mother replies. I love how my mom can make my brother look like a fool. I stifle my laugh and hide my grin with my hand. I take a deep breath and after I calm down, I uncover my face.

"Well, back to the matter at hand, Haven, why were you spending so much time in he bathroom?" My father asks.

Oh! So that's what they said earlier? Umm...what do I say to that?!

They look at me expectantly and my palms start to sweat. They can't know what actually happened! They'd kill me! LITERALLY!

"Auntie Flow came for a visit!" I blurt out. Wow. My great excuse: that I'm on my monthly. But I actually am, so that's not a complete lie. But still, that definitely is NOT the best excuse ever.

Peeta and my dad look at me, wide-eyed. "Oh, um... uhhhhh..." My dad mumbles.

"Oh that's fantastic sweetie! I was worried that you were pregnant." Mom smiles.

Wow. Okay. My mom officially scares me. Why would I be pregnant in the first place?

A little while later, dinner was finished and I went back to my room. Mm...that steak was good. Heading over to my bathroom, I turn on the shower and pull my hair out of its ponytail. I pop into the shower and start washing.

I finish washing up and get out of the shower. After brushing my teeth either and hair, I pull on a baby-blue nightgown with leggings underneath.. I don't need a maid or guard coming in and seeing my underwear.

I turn off the lights and lay down in my bed. I shut my eyes and drift into the dream world.

Sorry for the short chapter, I'm reposting this book up to Chapter Nine, chapters get longer once you hit Chapter Four. The update schedule is in my bio.
