I was woken up by the sound of a horrifying scream. What's going on? I get up from my bed trying not to make much noise. I walk over to my parent's room and see my brother's not awake, I'm astonished at how he can sleep through all this but he's probably used to it since it happens about three times a week.
You may be wondering who I am. I'm 16 years old, my name is Danielle Rue Mellark but everyone calls me Danny and my brother is 10 years old, his name is Nathan Boggs Mellark. Yes I'll answer your question I am the daughter of the 74th Hunger Games victors, Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen who have been married for 17 years. 18 years is how long the rebellion has been over.
I crack open my parent's door I hear my dad soothingly saying "Shh. Katniss it's okay I'm here now"
"No it's not Peeta, it isn't" I hear her say kind of angrilly
I hear her take deep breathes while dad hugs her "Do you want to tell me what it was about?"
"I saw the tributes! All of them! Rue, Thresh, Cato, Clove, Finnick, Glimmer, Marvel! I saw them, Prim, my Father, Madge!" she says trying to be quiet yet she isn't
All these names are coming back to me I've heard these names before but the one that dawns most on me is Finnick.
Just as I'm turning to walk back to my room I hear my mother say "Danielle" that's peculiar my mother never calls me by my real name unless something bad is going on or I'm in trouble "come in here"
"Yes?" I say with an edge of wordiness in my tone
"Just come in here" my father says
"Okay" I say with the shakeiness in my voice
"Sit" he says patting the open spot next to him
I sit down, pull the covers over me and say "So what's up?"
"We want to show you something" my mother says as my dad gets up as his artificial leg hits the floor, he walks over to a bookshelf and picks up a book that looks very old
"Um, Okay, I guess" I say unconvinced
"Danny it's nothing to be worried about" she says reassuringly
It takes several hours to get through the whole entire book. When we finally finish my dad kisses me on the forehead and says "Come on Danny I'll go walk you down to your room"
"Okay, Love you mom" I say trying show that the book didn't scare me alittle
"Love you Danny, go get some rest" she says tierdly
Once my dad walks me down to my room he tucks me in and I say like I'm 2 years old again "Daddy don't leave me"
"Oh Danny, you are just like your mother" he says chuckling
"What do you mean?" I ask
"Well, you know how your mother and I were in the 74th and 75th Hunger Games?" he says as I nod my head "Well she lived in this exact house and she sprained her ankle, I came over every day and the day before the Quarter Quell reaping she said Stay With Me and I said Always"
"Oh I see" I say as he cradels me just like he dose with my mother, my dad has always been the one to comfort us kids
All the sudden we a hear something neither of us move, it's my little bro. He walks in my room, sits on my bed and asks "What are you doing in here dad?"
My dad smiles, gets up, kisses my forehead and my brothers, then says "Nothing"
"Love you dad" we say in unison
"Can I sleep in here? I couldn't sleep" he says like he's going to cry
"Of course you can" I say patting the open space next to me as I ruffle his prefect blond hair just like my father's
"Thanks Danny" he says and we both drift of to the land of Unicorns and Rainbows
