Chapter 1
Rue Mellark
Katniss's point of view
A/N hello people! I have decided to get a fanfiction account, I have been reading fanfiction for months now. So here is my first story! Please be nice in comments. Enjoy!
I am so glad Peeta and I got married! It took a while for him to convince me to have a baby, but 4 years later here I am now, holding a beautiful little baby girl named Rue, in honor of Rue, my alliance in my first hunger games. As my little 2 year old boy, Jake, runs around the room I think how blessed I am to have such wonderful kids and not have them go to the Hunger Games. Peeta walks in the house from a long day at the bakery and sets down the news paper for this week "Hey Katniss" Peeta says as he plants a kiss my on my cheek. "Hey honey how was the bakery?" I ask as I reach for the bottle of milk for Rue to drink. "Not a bad day that's for sure! I brought in a whole lot of money today." He replies happily. "That's wonderful." I say. I reach for the news paper Peeta just sat down and I pick it up to read. Jake stops running around the room, tried of running. I look at Jake then at Rue in my arms. I am so glad Peeta convinced me to have them! I set down the paper, to much in a good mood to hear about whats going on in the world.
"Peeta can you read the paper to me, I am to tired from Rue screaming all night, " I say because honestly, I am about to collapse.
"Sure honey no problem, " he says but I can tell he is about to fall asleep right then and there too.
"Lets see, it says someone got arrested, tomorrow is going to be really hot, and...what's this?!" he says with concern. He hands me the paper and I read the paragraph that he points to. It says,
Yesterday your former President, Mrs. Paylor was food poisoned. She went to a restaurant and collapsed after she took a bite of bread. "A tragic accident, " Capitol police had said at the scene. But there is good news in this problem! Today the votes are in and your new president is... ! And also, President Shine has announced her first move as your new president. She has brought back the Hunger Games! "I think we all need some more discipline in the districts, " President Shine says to the news reporter.
NO!" I shout as i start to cry so hard I don't think I will have any water left in my eyes to ever cry again. Peeta pulls me into a hug as I cry into his shoulder with Rue between us. "They are going to be in the Hunger Games!" I say in between sobs. "Shhh it's ok Katniss I'm sure they wouldn't picked, there are always so many names in that bowl," Peeta says as he pats my back. "That's what they said about Prim! And look were it got her!" I sob. All I can do is pray hard that they wouldn't get picked. I look down at Rue, then look at Jake playing with his toy truck. So innocent, but being punished for nothing! I sob even harder. Peeta try's to calm me down but it's no use.
My children are in risk of going to the Hunger Games.
