The Hunger Games - Raining Fire [[EDITING]]

Chapter 16

"OK, OK. So, I still need to find her. Where did you see her last?" I ask.

"Uuuh, I don't know! She stormed out as soon as I told her. I wonder whether she still trusts us though..." Annie explained.

"Alright. I'll just have to ask Haymitch. Bye," I wave as I shut the door.

They reply, "Bye Peeta,"

I run back to the bakery, just to make sure they don't notice, then run further. It's very tiring running endlessly, but I carry on my journey. As I was running, I notice a young, beautiful women with dark brown hair, pale but pretty pink lips and was wearing a dress Cinna designed, which reminds me of Katniss. When I look closely, I see that it is Katniss, talking to Haymitch.

I run over to them and pant, "Hey!"

Katniss says firmly, "Oh, hello Peeta Mellark." She emphasizes my name.

"Hey Peeta." Haymitch smiles.

I begin, "Katniss, I need to talk to you,"

"Okay, but I need to go soon, so make it quick!" she rushes me.

"Well, I know why you're mad at me, but it's not what it seems. I didn't just wanna marry you because I wanted children. I was not using you! It's because I love you and I want you and I to spend time living together, including having kids, even though they may be taking away from us which won't happen... Don't you already know how much I love you? I thought it was obvious, and I'm so sorry that I upset you. However, I love you so much, I couldn't stay long without you." I explain.

The moment is so emotional in a romantic way that I shed a tear or two. So does Katniss.

"Oh COME ON!" Haymitch yells, almost ruining the moment.

"But what if they do get kil-"

I say, "Nonsense! So, anyway, am I forgiven?"
