LIGHT MY CANDLE
Chapter 1
"Daddy, are we going hunting today?" I ask
"Yes darling we are" he smiles at me I was so relieved when I found out that my father didn't die in that horrible hunting accident. He came out a day after. I remember that day like it was yesterday. *Flashback*
I was sitting in class working on a project of the 50th hunger games with my partner Peeta Mellark the baker's son he was talking about a day back in kindergarden then the ground started violently shaking it abruptly stopped and then the sirens came on. I twisted around in my chair and looked out the window I saw smoke coming from the mines and people all from the seam running towards them. I practically flew out of my seat and was the first to run down to the lower grades building and get my little sister prim. We both ran out of the school at full speed and got to the mines at the same time as my mother. We waited and waited and he never came out mother and prim went home while I just sat there staring at the mines I then felt someone throw a blanket around my shoulders and they then but something in front of my crumpled figure I looked up to see an intense icy blue pair of eyes in front of mine. And standing in front of me was my very history partner Peeta Mellark 'let me walk you home.' He had told me. I was still in shock from what happened so I just simply nodded and took his hand. He helped me up and off to the seam we went I was silently crying next to Peeta. When we reached my house he looked at me and I saw sadness, love, and caring in his eyes he pulled me into a hug and then kissed me on the cheek 'I hope the bread help's I'm sorry for your loss Katniss and what I was going to tell you in history class was that I love you.' He sadly smiled and left I just stood there baffled. The next day we were in the middle of the town center with other seam families who had loss their husband and fathers. I saw Peeta in the crowd and he was crying to then someone screamed and two ragged bloody men walked through the crowd up to the stage my mother's mouth was wide open both men climbed up the to the stage and one of those bloody men was my father mother prim and I all ran to him and hugged and cried the other family was hugging too.
*End of Flashback*
"Aaron please don't go yet!" my mother said she put on this pouty face and my parents started hugging and kissing. I started making gagging sounds. My parents looked at me and started laughing.
"Ok, ok fine we'll leave already Katniss. Bye Serena my love." My dad said I rolled my eyes, scoffed and walk out the door. My dad shortly walked out and we were both on our way to the woods. My calm, my serenity I wiggle under the fence and find the bows my father made I spot a squirrel about a mile away I prepare my bow and shoot it.
"Great job Kat! Straight through the eye!" he cheers I grin and go off to gather some berries and Katniss roots. I spot a rabbit and shoot it too the more the merrier right? We later walk back to the fence to make our daily trades in the hob and throughout town. Dad says I can make trades with the baker because he's a gently person and adores the squirrels. I run up to the baker's back door and knock. I start to hear crashing noises and I start to panic what if it's the baker's wife she hates people from the seam. I get ready to run when the door opens but I just come face to face with a pair of familiar icy blue eyes.
"OH, hey Katniss I thought your dad would be doing the trades." He smiles and I feel the weirdest feeling in the pit of my stomach I smile back.
"Well he is but he just let me trade with you guys." He blushes and starts wiping his hand on his apron I lift both eye brows and wonder what wrong. He starts to laugh all nervously
"Umm s-s-so what are you trading?" he stuttered out he looks so nervous
"Just some squirrels like always." I beam he looks at me from head to foot I suddenly have the feeling to leave but will myself to stay because we need the money.
"UM h-h-here's the money Katniss and thanks for the delicious squirrels." He hands me the money with shaky hands.
"Ah… Peeta are you ok?" I question with pure curiosity
"Yea sure just fine Lo- I mean Katniss bye." He waves then closes the door that was weird.
