Chapter 1
As I march through the icy snow, just before the District fence, I stop, as I hear a voice. "Don't worry, no one can see us here" A man. But he doesn't seem to be addressing me. I stay still to hear more. "But I'm not dressed properly," Her voice has the exact voice me and Gale used a we said "May the odds be ever in your favor!". It is very feminine which gives a hint of who it could be. "And what if people are hiding around and watching us?" I can see who they are . That isn't possible! Haymitch and Effie. Why is he holding her close to his body clutching her waist? Since when does his voice seem so calm and un-drunk? I lie down so they can't see me. "I love you Effie, you know that, right?" Says Haymitch as they start kissing each other for as long as I think is long enough. Effie pulls back, saying "Yes I do know it, and that since you quit drinking for me." And gets back to her kissing.
After several days of not understanding the situation I saw, I decide to go see Ripper and ask about Haymitch, which Effie has mentioned Since you quit drinking for me. which sounds impossible. "Well hi there Katniss! How's everything going?" Asks Ripper. "Oh, nothing, really. I just came here for something. Not beer." I say to Ripper. "Holy cow! I forgot to tell you this! If that's what you want to know I think. Haymitch has stopped buying liquor from me and if it continues I'll lose my business!" Tells me Ripper looking terrified. "Well, that is exactly what I wanted to ask you, about Haymitch. I overheard him with Effie and-" I stop. Ripper isn't of trust, and what if Haymitch comes back to drinking and Ripper tells him all? I look at my 'watch' and decide it's time to go. "I got to go now Ripper! I hope you'll get your business back though!" And I go.
Chapter 2
While wandering around in the victors village, I see Haymitch on his outdoor stairs. "Ha ha! Yeah, sure! I'll come over at eight. Kiss!" Who is he talking to? I walk towards him so I can see what he is doing. "Hi Haymitch! Good morning isn't it?" I say just to catch his attention. "Hello there Sweetheart! Why are you so happy?" He gently asks me stuffing something in his pocket. I sit beside him on the stairs to see closely what exactly he was doing. "Oh, you know, just came from Peeta's and had cheese buns. Great times! What were you doing?" I ask him to really know who he was talking to. "Oh, I was talking to Effie about how I can't wait for the next games!" He tells me. What a disgusting liar. I can see it in his face. "Is there something going on between you two perhaps?" I say gently and curiously. "What are you talking about little slug?" As he teases me. "I saw you two kiss days ago. And now you were talking on the phone." I tell him sternly. "No!- Okay, yes we are dating but shut up." He tells me confused for some reason. I'll ask him everything I need to know until I know all. "She influenced you! She told you to stop drinking! What the heck is with you to listen her?! I don't recognize you anymore! Think about your niece who always laughed when she saw you drunk! Okay, it was maybe bad for her to see you pole-dance while drunk and stuff, but still! Come back to yourself!" Screaming at him. "Listen Sweetheart" I cut him off. "I'm not telling to start drinking again! Just don't let her manipulate her! You know her, right? You know what she'll do!" "Now go away! Leave me alone! I love her and you won't keep me from it!" He shouts at me back. I go away back into my house running.
