It has only been a few days since I have arrived here in district 13 and only one thought runs through my mind constantly, since I have nothing else to do  but to lay in this hospital bed and think of my last moments with peeta, the one good dream I have of him has turns into a recurring nightmare. The dream, the one secret that peeta and I share that I will never forget.

Just as I drift back to sleep a nurse has startled me explaining its time for another dose of my medication. 3 tiny pills waiting for me to just wash them down with a glass of water    

“That should help keep the pain away” the nurse explained. Finally the nurse leaves me and I fall right back to sleep. The dream has recurred. The dream was about the night I opened up my feelings about him, this was a very special night because I don’t open up my feelings to anyone, not even prim but peeta is the one person in the entire world I have told how I really feel about him. When I started to cry due to the feelings I have for him he pulled me close and wrapped his arms around me holding me tight to let me know he is always there for me “katniss” he whispers softly in my ear “this is the best night of my life and I’m happy to know you do love me” he kisses my forehead softly and slowly makes his soft lips to my mouth. All I remember is a night of passion and love. The one night that lead me to believe he was the only one I need to be able to stay strong for what is to come.

Suddenly I was woken up by my younger sister prim “you were having that nightmare again! Weren’t you?” “ yes, I said reluctantly she grinned and told me she will be back in ten minutes. I laid my head back on the hard pillow generously provide by the nurses in district 13. The sound of district 13 is new and very strange to me as ever since I was young have been brought up to the knowledge that there are only 12 districts. A bundle of messed up thought run through my mind; where is peeta? is he okay? will they hurt him ? or will they kill him? has he excepted?. All these questions run through my mind over and over again. I hear an un familiar voice scream "doctor, doctor ! she having that melt down again!" I am not aware of what she Is talking about as I have no knowledge of it. a dose of sedate was injected to my drip the last thing I remember was a nurses face.  

I awake with a fright. the nightmare has once again repeated itself. "how long will this last for?" I ask my self. I look to the end of my hospital bed and there lies gale, my best friend, the one who got my family out before district 12 was fire bombed. "gale, gale" I whisper. he responds quite fast with a question " are you alright katniss" as if I was really badly sick or something "yes, I am fine! how are you?" I say " great now that your awake" gale says with a smile " huh!"i sigh " you have been asleep for 5 days katniss, don't you know how worried we were?" gale says with a relieved expression. " 5 days, I couldn't of been out that long, could I!" I said. " I have got to get up, I have to find peeta and you gale have to help me! now please unhook me from these drips!"
