Chapter 7

(Peeta's POV)

I wake up sweating buckets. I just had a terrible nightmare: I was in a glass box above the arena watching all the bloodthirsty Tributes we killed come back to life and torture Katniss for hours before killing her and the whole time I couldn't do anything but watch and listen to her cries of pain and Snow's horrid laugh.

Speak of the devil, Snow walks in with Number 7, Number 8 and another guy in a white suit. The new guy is caring a sering filled with a gooey green substance. Wait a minute, I've seen that before... it's Tracker Jacker venom. I don't think this is going to be very pleasant.

'' Please administrate the venom, Number 7.'' Snow says as he walks to my side.

'' Yes,sir.'' He answers with a hint of uncertainty in his voice, that's odd he's usually very confident. Now I am scared out of my shorts, oh wait I don't have shorts I am wearing a silly all in one suit.

A few minutes after the venom has entered my bloodstream I start to feel sick, drowsy, awkward and dizzy. Number 8 pulls out a screen and presses play on a very large touch screen remote control, it has a small sign of an apple on the back, it looks like an antique to me.

All of a sudden, an image of Katniss kissing me in the cave during the first hunger games appears, as I look closer she is holding a dagger in my back. I don't remember that. As she prepares to plunge it through my heart her head wound starts to bleed and I tell her to lay down, a look of disappointment shoots trough her eyes as she does what I say. Wait a minute, did she just try to kill me when she new that we could both be victors? Did she do that to have all the fame to herself? How selfish, what a monster. No she wouldn't, this is a lie, I love this girl. Do I? Do I really? I am so confused right now. It must be the affect of the venom or is it?

To many questions, so little answers.

The video stops and Snow walks forwards. '' You see Peeta, Katniss is a horrible person she doesn't care about you. This isn't the only time Katniss has tried to kill you. All those kisses didn't mean anything to her, they were just meant to distract you so she could kill you. All of Panem saw this live but you didn't notice at all. Dear boy, love blinds, it is mans biggest weakness. In the future do stay clear of it.''

I can feel the anger raging trough my veins, '' It's not true she loves me, she is probably planing a rescue mission to save me right now!'' I scream back tears streaming down my face. Katniss may be the girl on fire but I feel like the boy on fire.

I can see he is getting frustrated he grabs me by the shoulder and whispers, '' Why do you think the rebels saved her but left you her with my personal friend Johanna.''

------------------------

That night the images of Katniss trying to kill me roll on and on trough my brain. How dare she try to kill me when the hole time I was trying to protect her. Cato almost killed me for trying and keep her alive. Next time I see her she will pay. No what am I saying I love her, I just got to remind myself that.

I LOVE YOU KATNISS EVERDEEN, I LOVE YOU KATNISS EVERDEEN, ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

But do I really?
