Katniss's P.O.V.

I walk around the halls of my high school. Everyone makes room for me. They are all afraid of me. All because I am a vampire. No one should be afraid of me. I don't suck blood. I keep that craving down by blood tablets. My family does too. The jock of our school, Cato Dagger, pushes me into the lockers.

"You're a freak, Katniss Everdeen!" He taunts.

I scoff. I go to my class. Everyone separates themselves from me. I look out the window.

'I wish I was like everyone else.' I think.

It starts to rain. I watch the raindrops roll down the window. I trace the water as it rolls down the window. I see that a crack is forming whenever I follow a raindrop. I pull my finger away. The window breaks. Everyone gasps. They look at me. I feel the wave of embarrassment hit and my face getting hot. Everyone laughs and whispers. I leave the classroom. I leave the school. I run away.

'I don't want to be this way anymore.' I think.

I go out of town and to the forest. I sit by the creek. I throw rocks. The rocks skip more times than anyone ever could.

"Why am I not normal!?" I scream.

I hear movement coming closer to me. I stand up. I look around. I see rustling in the bushes.

"Who's there?" I ask.

I see a rabbit hop out of the bush. I let my guard down. But then I feel a presence behind me. I turn around. Someone shoves me.

"This is werewolf country. Leave now, and don't ever come back." He says.

"I'm sorry. I-I-I- I didn't know." I stammer.

"Well, now you do. Now leave, vampire." He says.

I stand up. I run out of the forest. I go to my town. It has stopped raining. The sun starts to come out. I pull my hood over my head and stuf my hands in my pockets. I go to my house. My mom and dad are waiting for me.

"You broke a window and ran away from school?! What were you thinking Katniss?!" My dad asks angrily.

I walk past him and head to the stairs.

"Katniss why can't you go one day without making your family's life harder?" My dad asks.

I stop.

"Because I'm not normal, Dad!! I'm a vampire! WE'RE ALL VAMPIRES!!! How do you expect me to be normal when I'm not?" I yell.

My dad glares at me.

"Katniss, why don't you come down and talk to me?" My mom says.

"No mom! Just leave me alone!" I scream.

I storm upstairs to my room. I slam my door. I punch the wall. I scream out my frustration. I tear apart my room. I sink to my knees. I sit on the floor.

"God, I hate my life." I mutter.

~Few Weeks Later~

I don't care about anyone in school. Not anymore. I just keep to myself. I am now a feared vampire. I haven't hurt anyone. Yet. As I sit in the cafeteria, someone sits across from me. I don't lookup.

"Do you have a death wish?" I ask.

"No. You just look lonely." they say.

I look up. It's a guy. I haven't seen him at school before.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I'm Peeta. Peeta Mellark." He says.

"New here?" I ask.
