Ashlin Everdeen (Peeta Mellark love story)

Interviews/Evaluation

"Nooo!!!!" My eyes snapped open and my breathing was heavy, as four disgruntled people ran into my door.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" Haymitch asked, in which, I shook my head 'no', and the person I lest expected right now wrapped me in his arms, Peeta.

He signaled for the others to leave and they did, "Tell me about it Ash.." Peeta whispered in my ear.

"Peeta...it was terrible, but at first it was good.......me-me and you, it was so sweet...and I-I wanted it to be real, but then...." I couldn't finish it due to the simple fact, he had turned on me in my dream. All I could do is cry into Peeta's chest. He held me tighter and told me I didn't have to finish if it hurt me.

"W-why did you-" he cut me off bye crushing his lips to mine. I kissed him back passionately and pulled him close. He's my best friend and I love him, I don't wanna go into the games with him...I would rather die. We stayed like this, kissing until we needed air. We both breathed in heavily, and I kissed him one last time.

"I don't wanna see you get hurt in the arena." I whispered, and he rested his forehead on mine.

"I know....but, it'll be okay. I promise Ashley." Peeta said and kissed me once more..very sweet, and passion filled. We sat there a few moments longer, and then....we had to prepare for interviews.

"I'm sorry I'm so stubborn." I said as we walked to be dressed.

"Don't be....." Peeta, Cinna, and Haymitch said at the same time.

"He's the person you love, we understand its hard." Cinna said with a slight smile toward me.

"Thank you..for being so understanding. " I said with my own small smile.

When me and Peeta were finished, I was in a red knee-length dress. which, Cinna had put the flames to also. With some beautiful silver heels, and my hair up in a gorgeous design of braides. Cinna out dose himself all the time.

"Spin when your ready...alright? Don't worry about the flames...okay?"

"Thanks Cinna." I smiled and we shared a hug. Peeta was wearing a black suit with flames on the cuffs, not ones that were like the ones made into the dress, just the design. He looked handsome, I gave him a smile as they escorted me to the stage.

"Now, please give it up for district 12's very own Ashlin Everdeen, the girl on fire!" Ceaser spoke into the microphone and everyone cheered. I walked out and they got louder, I felt a small smile appear on my lips.

"Well...so, what were you thinking...when you volunteered at the reaping?" Ceaser asked and I could only think about my sister.

"I wanted my sister to be safe...." I said.

"Oh, did your sister come say goodbye?"

"Both my sisters did...." I informed.

"What did they say to you and what did you tell them?" He asked.

"Well......I told them I would try to win, but I'm unsure if I can." I said honestly.

"And why is that?" He asked, I thought about it a second.

"Because I'm not sure if I'll ever see my boyfriend again.... could we move on?" I asked and everyone laughed.

"Of course! So...when you came out on that chariot at the tribute parade, my heart stopped!" He exclaimed.

"So did mine...." I laughed nervously. Everyone laughed, and then I smiled, "I have them on now...would you like to see?" I asked.

"First off..are they real and is it safe?"

"Yes they are real...and its safe,I promise." I informed, Cinna nodded from the crowd where I spotted him.

"Alright...what do you think, you wanna see them?" Ceaser asked and the crowd went wild!

I began twirling and the flames spread all over the dress and it changed into entirely different dress, it became black with the same flame design as Peeta's cuffs, just all through the bottom. Cinna really had amazed me! The crowd went nuts and Ceaser was so star-struck it wasn't funny. I smiled and me and Ceaser said our goodbye, the crowd going crazy.

"You did it, and the dress...lovely." Haymitch said, I smiled and sighed.

I watched Peeta making the crowd laugh and such..then Ceaser asked, "So Peeta, is there a special girl back in district 12?"

Peeta looked around and then said, "Well...there is, but after this...it'll be difficult to live with myself if I survive." He informed, Ceaser looked awed.

"And why is that? She should be happy if you survive!"

"Oh...trust me, my girlfriend would be...but the thing is, she came here with me." He said in all defeat.

"Well...that's to bad then, I'm sorry..." Ceaser said, "Peeta Mellark everyone!" The crowd cheered and Peeta left the stage to immediately be embraced by me......

At dinner Haymitch explained how evaluations would go and I desperately needed some sleep. I basically fell asleep on the couch with Peeta, and when we woke, Effie was rushing us to be on time for the evaluation. As soon as we were dressed back in training uniforms, it began. I was worried about Cato and Clove, and I knew I had to look out for them in the arena.

"Ashlin Everdeen." A computerized voice said, I sighed and then walked forward.

"Ashley..." I looked back at Peeta and he winked at me, "Shoot strait." He said and I smiled at him.

"Throw strait." I said winking back.

(The next part will be almost exact to how Katniss did it in the movie.)

I walked in and they all were talking and socializing until I got there attention by announcing myself. I shot an arrow and hit a little off from my target, so I decided to try again, this time I hit my target, but they didn't see it. I was really upset now. I quickly got a third arrow and let my anger unleash oh the apple in the pigs mouth, they all looked at me.

"Thank you, for your consideration." I said and then stormed out, almost forgetting  to put the bow back.

When that was done and me and Peeta were dressed in normal clothes again, Effie was yelling at me, "Where are your manners?!" She questioned.

"Look, they just want a good show....it's alright." Cinna said in my defence, and before Effie could say anything else, Haymitch told me I did a good job.

He laughed and asked what they did.

"Well...they looked startled, and I said, Thank you for your consideration..." I laughed the last part out. Everyone but Effie laughed. Finally, the tv came on. My allies scores were a bit week, Rue's was a 7, and the boy from 8, Grey, got a 4. Finally me and Peeta. My boyfriend got an amazing score of 10 and I got a 12, which made me the center of all the others hate. I would be the one they tried to take out........
