It was a dark. The one word can always be used to describe District Twelve. Some days it is cold other days it is warm, but it’s always dark. There are escapes to the darkness of the district. Happiness, family, and love; love was always a light for Peeta Mellark, burning through darkness’s dense veils. Just as his light was reaching its brightest point it was put out. Put out by a normal occurring event in his home. The Reaping. Although Prim’s name was drawn her brave, loyal, beautiful sister took her place. An overwhelming sensation of dread filled Peeta. He knew his one and only love was being sentenced to her death bed. Just as he thought he could no longer carry on two words saved him: “Peeta Mellark”. With those two words he knew she had a fighting chance of survival. As he took his post, standing next to her along, he vowed he would do everything in his power to keep her alive. Katniss Everdeen would live, and he would die. Knowing he could save her, his light to the dark world reemerged. If only for tonight he would live, and while living he would love; love all he could.
