Kinda short, but it's just the Introduction or Prologue or whatever you wanna call it LOL Enjoy 3

Peeta POV

Yesterday, another girl mysteriously disappeared. Everybody is used to it by now that every year one boy and one girl will disappear. We've become so used to it that we don't even question it anymore. We don't even wonder, or try to find them because we know that's hopeless. We can only mourn them because once they're gone, they're never coming back. Five years ago, the love of my life disappeared. I mean, she never knew how I felt about her, but that doesn't mean she's not the love of my love. What's strange is that most people who disappear are somewhere between twelve and eighteen. She disappeared at the age of eleven. One day she was there, and the next day, I was crying because she was gone.

I continue down the road, barely looking where I'm going. It's after sunset, and I shouldn't even be outside, but I can't stay at home. I needed to get out, and a walk was the only thing I could think of. The sky is dark, and all the buildings I pass have their curtains drawn and their doors locked. They'll do anything to make sure their children don't disappear. My mother couldn't care less, and that's the only reason I'm out here.

I stroll down the sidewalk until I hear something behind me. It sounds like leaves rustling in a tree. I turn around and see that there is in fact a tree behind me, and the noise was probably just some bird. I decide to walk toward the tree anyway. When I'm just inches away, something jumps down from the tree. Not something, someone. They land on me and pin me face down. I try to move, but they won't let go.

"Congratulations, Peeta Mellark," they whisper. "You've been drafted."

I know that voice. I try to say something, but I stop as I feel something in my arm. I think it's a needle. Whatever it is, it makes it difficult to speak or even move. The world begins to fade away. Everything goes black. The last thing I think about before everything disappears is the voice of my attacker.

Katniss Everdeen.
