Katniss & Peeta || 'Real' - Duration: 6:15. Katniss and Peeta for a Thousand Years - Duration.Peeta Mellark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Peeta Mellark is a fictional character from The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins.[1] He is portrayed by actor Josh Hutcherson in The Hunger Games film series. Peeta is the male tribute representing District 1. Hunger Games, alongside female tribute Katniss Everdeen (portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence). Together, they defy the rule that the Games may only have one victor, unintentionally inciting a rebellion against the authoritarian government of Panem. Appearances[edit]The Hunger Games[edit]Peeta is first introduced at the reaping for the 7. Hunger Games, when he is selected as the male tribute representing District 1. Katniss Everdeen. Prior to the reaping, Katniss and Peeta had only interacted once: at age eleven, when Peeta deliberately burned two loaves of bread and took a beating to feed a starving Katniss. Katniss had always felt indebted to him for this kindness, but never worked up the courage to thank him. During an interview preceding the Games, Peeta admits on national television to having a long- standing crush on Katniss. She assumes this is merely part of his strategy to win favor from wealthy Capitol sponsors. Once inside the arena, Peeta allies himself with the "Career" tributes and tricks them into believing he will lead them to Katniss. However, after Katniss knocks down a hive of Tracker Jackers on her pursuers, she herself is stung with the insects' venom, rendering her disoriented and vulnerable. Peeta urges Katniss to run and stays to fight fellow tribute Cato while she escapes. He survives the encounter with Cato, but suffers a stab wound in his leg. He camouflages himself into the rocks and flora alongside a riverbank, slowly dying of blood poisoning until Katniss finds him days later. Following an announcement proclaiming that there can now be two winners, if both originate from the same district, Katniss and Peeta make allies of each other. Katniss realizes that if they play up the love story they may garner viewers' affections. Later a "feast" is announced, in which items that each tribute needs will be placed on a table for them to take, organized by district. Peeta strongly suggests that Katniss does not go, knowing that she will be in danger. She agrees to stay with him but, having received a bottle of sleep syrup from her mentor, she puts him into a drug- induced sleep and seizes the opportunity to slip away to the feast. The medicine gifted to them by the Capitol is strong enough to heal both of their wounds by morning. After killing Cato, Katniss and Peeta are the only remaining survivors. However an announcement shortly afterwards revokes the previous revision, allowing for only one victor. Peeta suggests that Katniss should kill him, enabling her to return home. Katniss instead suggests they commit suicide by consuming poisonous berries known as "nightlock". Before the two are able to get the berries into their mouths, a final announcement is made pleading for the two to stop: both they and the viewers are informed that Katniss and Peeta are declared joint official winners of the 7. Hunger Games. Later, the two learn that President Snow considered their actions to be an act of rebellion against the Capitol. After their last interview, in which the two continue to affect their romantic feelings for one another, Peeta comes to the realization that Katniss has staged her love for him all along. Catching Fire[edit]Peeta and Katniss embark on the Victory Tour, an event strategically timed in- between each Hunger Games, where the victors visit the other 1. Games and for the Capitol to reinforce its power over the Districts. Peeta and Katniss have barely interacted since the Games; Peeta is disappointed with Katniss for faking affection for him, and Katniss is confused about her feelings and is uncomfortable to be with him because of her close friendship with Gale Hawthorne, who also has strong feelings for her. Peeta expresses a desire to be friends with Katniss; while knows she's stubborn and skilled in archery, he doesn't know her favorite color. Katniss Everdeen is the main protagonist and the. Katniss and Peeta put together a book of all of the characters. Katniss speaks as an adult, 15 years later. Later, the two learn that. have two children together. It is implied by Katniss that Peeta wanted to have children first and took around 10–15 years to persuade. He tries to give part of his winnings to the families of District 1. Rue and Thresh) and is made to watch so- called Peacekeepers kill a man who led a salute to the two victors. Before the Victory Tour, President Snow visits Katniss and tells her he is aware that she was faking the affection towards Peeta, and that her actions in the arena have sparked a rebellion - one that can only be averted if she presents her and Peeta’s attempt at joined suicide in the arena as an act of love- crazed teenagers rather than as defiance. Katniss and Peeta think they are going to become mentors for the Quarter Quell, a special Hunger Games that occurs every 2. Games so district citizens are reminded of the violence of Panem's first civil war; their loss is the reason the Games were established. The new twist for the 7. Games is that the tributes will be chosen from living victors. District 1. 2 has only 3 living victors: Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch Abernathy. Haymitch is their constantly drunken mentor who won the 5. Hunger Games (the second Quarter Quell). It's clear Katniss will be the girl tribute, as she is the only living female District 1. Peeta makes Haymitch promise to work to save Katniss, not him. He also vows that if Haymitch is chosen, he will volunteer in his place. Katniss makes Haymitch promise that if Peeta is the male tribute, she and Haymitch will work together to keep Peeta alive, even at the expense of Katniss's life. It is a torn alliance for Haymitch. When Haymitch is drawn as the male tribute, Peeta automatically volunteers to take his place. Many of the other returning tributes are friends with each other, but Katniss and Peeta have a disadvantage. They have met none of them, as they are the newest victors. Peeta hopes to play on their sympathies to gain protection from others in the arena and support from sponsors for Katniss. To this end he lies to everybody on national television, saying Katniss and he had secretly got married before the Quell was announced, and that Katniss is pregnant. This shocks both Katniss and the whole of Panem. During the Quell, Peeta comes in contact with a force field and his heart stops. Katniss and Peeta’s efficient ally, Finnick Odair, succeeds in reviving him with CPR. Finnick Odair is the District 4 male victor tribute and a stunningly good- looking young man. The three soon band together with a few other tributes: Mags from District 4, Beetee and Wiress from District 3, and Johanna Mason from District 7. Eventually, they find out that the arena is shaped like a clock, with 1. Different hours indicated different tortures such as blood rain, acid fog, killer monkeys, and so on. As they formulate a plan to kill the remaining tributes, Wiress is killed and Katniss is attacked by Johanna. Once Katniss regains consciousness she realizes that Beetee had designed a way to destroy the force field surrounding the arena. She triggers it and destroys the field, setting off a chain of events. A rebel- controlled hovercraft arrives and rescues Katniss, Finnick, and Beetee. However, Peeta, Johanna and Enobaria have been captured by the Capitol. Finnick, Beetee, Haymitch, Johanna and a few other tributes were part of a plan to safely retrieve Katniss and Peeta from the arena with hopes that they would take on roles to start a revolution against the Capitol. Knowing that the Head Gamemaker, Plutarch Heavensbee, is secretly leading the revolution, Katniss goes to District 1. Gale explains that after Katniss destroyed the arena, President Snow had District 1. Mockingjay[edit]Peeta is captured by the Capitol and is tortured physically, emotionally, and mentally. His feelings and memories are distorted with hallucinogenic tracker jacker venom, a mind- control technique. The Capitol uses this method to turn Peeta against Katniss, making him believe that she is not only responsible for the death of his family, friends and the destruction of District 1. This leads him to try and strangle Katniss when he is reunited with her in District 1. The doctors of District 1. Katniss. When the rest of the victors journey to the Capitol to fight, Peeta is initially kept behind because he is considered too unstable to be sent into combat. However, President Coin changes her mind and sends him not only into combat, but assigns him to Katniss's squadron. Katniss theorizes that Coin has sent Peeta to remove her as an obstacle to Coin's future as President. Despite the fact that the members of the squadron do not trust him, they help with his recovery by creating a game called "Real or Not Real" in which Peeta will ask them a question about something he believes may be true and the members will confirm whether they are real or a hijacked memory. The squadron eventually comes to the conclusion that President Coin had deliberately sent Peeta to Katniss' squad in hopes that he will go mad and kill her because Coin sees Katniss as a political rival. Unfortunately, during a surprise attack of "pods" (deadly surprises such as flesh- melting light and mines triggered by people passing by), Peeta actually does lose his sanity temporarily in the midst of the chaos and tries to kill Katniss once again, but she rolls out of the way of his gun in an attempt to crush her skull. He becomes responsible at least in part for the death of one of their team members, who he accidentally throws into a barbed- wire net pod during the attack. The squadron repeatedly debate whether or not they should kill Peeta, and even Peeta himself asks to be killed to stop endangering them, but Katniss refuses to when realizing she cannot bring herself to let him die. She even kisses him for a period of time, which actually makes him stable. Realizing he cannot convince anyone to kill him or leave him to die, Peeta insists on remaining cuffed instead since the pain in his wrists helps him stay focused in reality instead of succumbing to madness. Fifteen Years Later Chapter 1, a hunger games fanfic. Fifteen years. That's how long it's been since Panem was restored. Fifteen years since the day Prim's death really hit me. Fifteen years since I killed Alma Coin. Today is supposed to be a happy day. Obviously, it's happier than most, but the pain of losing Prim and Finnick and Rue and . It's supposed to be a day of celebration. It's supposed to be a time of family. But the fact that half of my family is dead just seems to take away the whole spirit. Today's Christmas Eve. I don't know what to feel today. I should be celebrating it with Prim, my father, my mother. I know I should be grateful. I mean, I am. I have Peeta. I have my mother. I even have Haymitch, who has sort of grown to be like a dad, or sort of uncle to me over these past fifteen years. He was the one who walked me down the aisle at my wedding to Peeta. And then—I honestly don't know how it happened—a couple years later, he ended up being at the end of it, Peeta taking Effie to him. I've known about Christmas all my life, but with the starvation and the illness and the cruelness of life in District Twelve . The Capitol, of course, used to honor Christmas almost as much as the Hunger Games. Now, it's pretty much the same everywhere. Except for me. Christmas has definitely been more cheerful over the past fifteen years. But somehow, this year, it's a little . Peeta finally convinced me to start trying for a baby. I don't know if I'm ready, but each time the results come back negative . But maybe I'm not ready yet. I don't know if I'll ever be ready. Peeta's voice interrupts my thoughts."Katniss! Collin's about to put up the star! You don't wanna miss this!" he calls. I don't turn my gaze from the book in my hands. It's the plant book that Peeta and I have been working on over the years. I've been studying it for several minutes now. We'd been decorating the Christmas tree, and I just started feeling so overwhelmed about it all, that I needed to come into Peeta's and my room. After a moment of staring at the pages depicting nightlock berries (oh, the irony), I look up, rise from the bed on which I have been sitting, and leave the quiet, peaceful room. I walk out the door, into the hall, and soon enter the family room of Peeta's and my house in Victors' Village. Peeta, Effie, Haymitch, and their two little boys are all standing there. The little baby girl is in Effie's arms. Effie is staring affectionately at the youngest boy, Collin, who has the silver star in his hands and is standing in front of Haymitch. The oldest, Bracken, is sitting next to his mother on the sofa. My mother is sitting on Effie's other side. They are talking softly. Peeta looks over at me as I enter the room, his face lighting up with a big smile."Just in time," he says, walking over to me and giving me a long kiss, which I return. We separate, and I smile."Merry Christmas," he says softly."It's not Christmas yet," I point out. He grins more widely. I know.""Auntie Katniss! Auntie Katniss! Look, I'm gonna put up the star!" exclaims Collin, running over to me and waving the thing above his head."Well, look at that," I say, smiling."Yeah! Daddy's gonna lift me up now!" Collin turns around to Haymitch. Pick me up now, Daddy!"Haymitch gives one of the smiles that he's been giving a lot these past several year — that funny smirk. It's nice to see it."Sure thing, Collin," he says. He lifts the little boy that looks remarkably like himself (though a lot younger and a bit like Effie, too) up in his arms. Collin's face is lit up with pure happiness as he takes the silver star and places it wonkily at the top of the Christmas tree, which is already filled to the brim with ornaments — most of them Effie's. His parents are looking on proudly (which is saying something when you consider whom his father is). So is my mother, who thinks of Collin and Bracken as grandchildren, or even sons of her own. Little baby Jenny starts fussing a little, which breaks the silence. Haymitch lowers Collin down before loping over to me."What's up, sweetheart?" he says in a low tone of voice, so that the others can't hear him, probably. Effie has handed over Jenny to my mother, who calms the little baby down, before standing up high and fixing the tilted silver star."Nothing," I say dismissively."You left us just as Effie was putting up her favorite ornament, and she never lets anyone miss that. Something's wrong."I don't answer him, but continue staring at little Jenny in my mother's arms. I wonder if she'll ever hold any grandchildren of her own."Test come back negative again?" asks Haymitch, interrupting my thoughts. I am silent. He gives a soft smile. You'll get there, sweetheart." Then he pats my back briefly and walks over to his sons. Peeta has been talking with them, playing with them. When Haymitch comes over, Peeta leaves him alone with his sons and walks over to me."Hi," he says."Hi," I reply."What's up?" Peeta asks. That's the same thing Haymitch said to me — minus the "sweetheart" part, of course. I sigh. "I don't know if I'm ready to be a mother or not. I don't know how I feel when I'm told I'm not going to be one."Peeta gives me a long, hard look."As long as I have you," he says finally, "I don't care if it takes five, ten more years to have a child. And if it turns out we can't have one . I nod slightly."But let's celebrate Christmas right now, okay?" Peeta continues. I nod and give a small smile. Okay."We wall over to Haymitch, Effie, their children, and my mother, and I realize that what Peeta says is true. No matter how long it takes . I am. . . . Someday, Peeta and I will be parents. The next morning dawns bright and crisp and cold. Peeta is still asleep when I wake up, snoring gently. The bedcovers rustle as I climb out of bed and pull on a bathrobe, which warms me up a lot. I walk over to the window in our room and stare out at the snow covering the area. I think of the president himself, even though I do not want to."Hey."I zoom around, my heart beating a little quicker than it should. But it quickly dies down as I see that the voice is that of Peeta. He is sitting up in bed."Hey," I say. I walk over and crawl into bed next to him. Peeta breathes in deeply. Merry Christmas," he says."Merry Christmas," I say back. There is silence. We are both staring out the window."Katniss," says Peeta after a few moments, breaking the silence, "you are upset. Real or not real?"A small smile plays on the edge of my lips. I hesitate before saying with a sigh, "Real.""Katniss, you are upset about the fact that you are not a mother yet. Real or not real?" Peeta continues."Real.""Katniss," says Peeta for the third time, "you know that we can always adopt. Real or not real?"I pause again, this time for a lot longer."Real," I say finally."Good," says Peeta. Now let's go see if Bracken and Collin are ready to see their presents from Santa."I nod, and we both climb out of bed. Immediately, I hear a knock at the front door. Peeta smiles. "Guess that's them," he says softly."Guess so," I reply. Two hours later, our house in Victors' Village is filled nearly to the brim with people. We switch off with Haymitch and Effie and Annie and Finnick Jr. This year, it's our turn. Haymitch and Effie's family is over, Annie and Finnick Jr. District Four, my mother is here, Plutarch Heavensbee comes occasionally (including this time), Johanna has come with her boyfriend, Axel, Beetee is here, and Greasy Sae has come over to help Effie and Annie come cook a Christmas dinner. And, of course, my mother had to bring Buttercup's two youngest descendants and their mama with her, too. We have eaten brunch, and are now opening presents. This year, Peeta's gift to me is a pearl."I hope you like it," he says, his expression anxious. It's a replica of the other one; I know you lost that one last Christmas, so. I look up at him, and he trails off."It's perfect," I say. He grins."All right now, time for my gifts to everyone!" says Effie, bending down to the Christmas tree, where all of the presents are piled. I suddenly feel the need to use the bathroom. Excusing myself quietly, I leave the room. I look at the little stick in the trashcan that I used yesterday, showing the sign that I am not pregnant. I guess I can see again. My fingers are trembling slightly as I lift up the little stick. My eyes are closed. I don't want to know what it says. It's probably negative, anyway. Suddenly, a wave of nausea envelopes me. I am too scared to see, so I throw it in the trashcan without a second glance, wash my hands, staring blankly into the mirror, and head back to the living room, where Effie has passed out all of her gifts. She frets over me, saying that I look pale, and hands me the pink- wrapped box."Well!" she says expectantly as I stare at the thing. Open up!"I unwrap the present. It is a small box like the ones that carry bracelets and necklaces and things. I look up. Peeta has one exactly the same."At the same time?" he asks. I nod."One — two — three," says Peeta. At "three," we both lift up the lids of the boxes. In mine sits a small, silver bracelet. I pull it out of its velvet casing and look at the letters etched in it. T. E. A. M. I look up to see that Peeta is holding the same thing as me. Effie is beaming at us broadly, as though it is the showing of the Hunger Games. See? I got one for Haymitch, too! It's our last initials — well, what mine used to be, anyway, but I recently realized that they all spell out to be 'team'! Trinket — me; Everdeen — Katniss; Abernathy — Haymitch; and Mellark — Peeta. So I had a friend from the Capitol engrave four of them for me to give out as Christmas presents! Aren't they wonderful?"I smile at her. Thanks, Effie."Her beam widens. You're quite welcome, Katniss!" She turns to her husband. Haymitch, show them yours!"Haymitch holds up the little bracelet that could go well on a man's or boy's arm in his hand. Here.""Wonderful!" exclaims Effie, clapping her hands together. Now, if you would excuse me, I need to go use the restroom.
