Chapter 35:


The big, wide doors open for the chariots, and we hear the roar of the crowd. "Shall we?" I hold my hand out to help Katniss into the chariot. "No smiling, no waving nothing. Where are they?" We look around, "I don't know, maybe we should go ahead and turn ourselves on?" As we do, we see people starting to look and point at chattering.

"Peeta?" Katniss says, starting to sound very scared,
"Yeah, babe?" I say, looking around at everybody.
"Peeta? Hold my hand. Hold it please? Hold my hand, before I faint of fright!" I look at her and grab her hand, and with the other stroke her face and look into her big, glittering, brown eyes, that look like they're about to burst at any minute now, then grab the other hand tightly.

"Thank you, Pee--" She starts, "Stop. I already know Kat. I Love You!" I tell her. "I Love You more Peeta!" She says, looking around, seeing that the rest of the tributes are starring at us. She starts to blush and gets all flustered. "Here...This might help.." I tell her letting go of her hands and grabbing the sides of her face so I can kiss her very passionately! It worked, cause she started to kiss back, not even caring that the whole room had our attention!

When we finally get to where Snow should speak, a guard is there to speak for him.

Katniss finds out that both Thresh and Rue's families are alive. We both go to the elevator and end up sharing it with Chaff, Seeder, and Johanna Mason. Johanna starts some girl talk with Katniss, then, hating her outfit, strips out of it leaving her butt naked! "That's better." Johanna says.She talks to me the whole ride about my paintings and such. All the while my light from my outfit reflects off her bare-breasts. When she leaves I'm smiling. Katniss throws aside my hand as the doors closes behind Chaff and Seeder, leaving us alone, until I burst out laughing.

"What?" She says, as we step onto our floor.
"It's you Katniss. Can't you see?" I tell her.
"What's me?" She asks.
"Why they're all acting like this. Finnick with his sugar cubes and Chaff kissing you, which I didn't like BTW, and that whole thing with Johanna stripping down. They're playing with you because you're so.. you know...pure."
"I am not! I'm practically ripping your clothes off everyday and whenever there's a camera around."
"I know that! You've changed. But they don't! That's why they're picking on you!" I tell her, grabbing to hold her hand as we walk into a growling Haymitch.
"Looks like they've matched you a set this year..." He says, nodding to the Red-headed Avox, that we saw last time. And another who's back is turned to us.

Then chills go threw us because we both know him.

Our new Avox is Darius.
