Nightmare

When the broadcasting was done for the night, and every tribute fell asleep, the moniters shut down.
Gale offered to stay with me, all night, but I refused and let him go home to his family, which he hadn't done in long time.
I didn't know what else I would do, so I walked to the forest. I just strolled along the moon-lit trail.
I stopped at the usual spot Gale and I sat at.
I laid down, settling in a dent in the earth and I let myself drift off to sleep with my knife in my closed hand.


I woke up to rustling dead leaves, I jolted upright, filled with adrenaline. I knew it wasen't Gale, Gale would of called out to me before he got this close. I clutched my knife in my hand.
"Gale?" I screamed into the night. I knew it wasen't him, but i didn't know what else I would say.
"Well, show yourself" I screamed.
Slowly, a body stepped into the moon light area and Prim was starring at the knife.
"Don't stab me'' she said sarcastically.
"Prim, what are you doing here?!" I asked.
"I had a nightmare" She whined.
I sat on the ground.
"Come here, Darling" she walked over and sat on my lap and  in my arms.
"Tell me what happened" I whispered and she did,
"I was in the square, It was just her and Peeta. She held her bow, loaded. She released but it buried itself in the ground. She kept saying ' I cant do it, I cant kill you'." she cried, tears streamed down her face.
 "Shhh, tell me the rest" I urged.
" Peeta, he, he picked up the aero that was buried in the ground, He, Peeta stabbed her in the chest again and again and again. Peeta looked down at Katniss and said- ' This is what you get for volunteering'."
She was choking on her tears now. I held her in my arms. Rocking her back and forth.
"This is my fault" She sobbed into my shirt.
"No, Sweet Pea, It's not" I promised.
I let my chin rest on her head and I let her cry.
"Promise me something" she asked.
"Anything, Sweet Pea" I promised.
"Sing me a lullaby" She whispered.
"Prim, I haven't sang in years" I lied.
" Try, at least" Prim was stubborn.
"Fine, what song" I whispered.
" The one that you sang to me before Daddy died" She answered.

I wont ever let you go
I'll always let you know
That I love you

When they call my name, I'll be off to war
Darling, I don't think i'll make it back
Out of all the love you gave
It was hard to think things went bad

When the teardrops start to fall
and I can't go home
It's your name I call

Don't let me go....
Don't let me go....
When the drumroll starts and.......

I stopped.
"Why did you stop" Prim whined.
"I dont remember the rest" I lied.
"Fine, but answer me one more thing" She asked.
"Ok..."
"You love Gale, dont you?" She asked.
That was when I told Prim the truth and she was the only one that knew.
