A/N Hello everyone! This is TributeWitch with her first fanfic! Feel free to review or PM me :) By the way, this first chapter just explains the story and sets the scene so it is a tad bit boring so bear with me!

My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen years old, nearly eighteen. I am back in District 12. Prim is dead. My mother has left me. I have lost the will to live.

Since Prim had died, I feel like a piece of my heart has been ripped out and no one can repair it.
I have shut everyone out and I am mute again. Greasy Sae comes everyday to bring me food, but she just keeps quiet, and I'm thankful for that because I'm not in the mood to talk and I don't think I will ever be.

I haven't seen Peeta for a while; actually I haven't even been out of the house at all. Sometimes I think of going to the woods, but I always dismissed it. Because it reminds me of him. The man who probably killed Prim. The man who went to District 2. I hate him, but I can never erase all the happy memories we had together in the woods or anywhere for that matter. Sometimes I feel like committing suicide but deep down I know I will never be brave enough to do that. Everything I had ever loved has left me except Peeta, but now I am rethinking my feelings for him. Do I really love the boy with the bread? Does he really love me back? After he was hijacked by the Capitol, nothing was really the same anymore.

I miss my father, Cinna, Finnick, Madge, heck even my mother. But especially Prim and sometimes even Gale.

The only thing I do nowadays is eat, sleep, go to the bathroom and think. I wonder what Gale is doing right now. Probably kissing another girl, he might even be in a serious relationship, engaged. He is very attractive so all those options are possible. But my gut instinct tells me that he is alone. And he's probably missing me too.

The phone is ringing, it's most likely Doctor Aurelius. I know his habits; he rings once or twice then gives up so I just let it ring. I am surprised when it continues to ring after a fourth time. I decide to stand up and pull the plug of the telephone. Before I do that though, I glance at the fancy telephone that came with this house. It's not Doctor Aurelius. It's Gale. At first I am confused as to why he is saved on my house phone, usually the phone just shows the number if it is foreign, but I vaguely remember Greasy Sae telling me that she saved some numbers on my house phone so if i want to call anybody I will know their number, so that must be why.

Anger, confusement and panic sweeps over me. Why would Gale call me? I haven't spoken to him since I left the Capitol which has been nearly a year I think. Maybe even more since I don't keep track of time. I decide to pull the plug since I have no intentions of talking to him. Not now, not ever. I feel cowardly though, since it isn't my nature to hide away from something. But I can't help but feel curious, what does he want? He knows that it is probably his bomb that killed Prim, and he also knows that I will never forgive him.

I decide to take a shower since I haven't taken one for over a week and also so that hopefully the cold water clears my head a bit. I step in the shower and I start to sing. I sound like a dying frog since I haven't let a sound escape my mouth for over a month now. I sing the lullaby that I used to sing to Prim every time she had a nightmare and sadness overcomes me. I start crying quietly but then I end up collapsing and lying on the ground of the shower sobbing uncontrollably whilst the cold water is still running

I must have cried myself to sleep because the next thing I see is Greasy Sae lifting me up or should I say dragging. That bony old woman is really weak.I should feel embarrassed but I actually don't really care. I glance at the mirror quickly and I see myself for the first time in weeks my hair still wet from the water, my bones clearly visible, and the distant look in my eyes. I am most likely insane but no one has had the heart to tell me. Greasy Sae brings me to my room while Samira, her granddaughter hands me a glass of water. I think her sanity has improved; she's no longer in her own little world all the time. Greasy Sae starts to dress me. I realize that she has put me in my hunting clothes. I stare at her.

"You should go out, girl. Get some fresh air. Bring me some game, if possible. I miss squirrels and wild turkeys. I don't really have the taste for the fancy chickens and beef." Says Greasy Sae softly.

"I don't have my bow" I barely whisper

"Check the cupboard in your office"

I nod at her. I walk slowly to my office and checked my cupboard at the end of the room and, sure enough it was there. I haven't been in this room for ages. I'm always in front of the fire in my rocking chair.

I haven't touched a bow since I shot Coin. My shooting skills are most likely mediocre at best now. I remember how much I miss the woods when I lift it up. I decide to go out; I mean how much harm can it be?

I say goodbye to Greasy Sae and her grand daughter and begin my short trek to the meadow. I crouch down and enter at the two foot stretch that me and Gale always entered at. Once I'm in I remember the part of the fence that was broken down by Gale when he evacuated the people to District 13. Well old habits stay with you forever. I smile when I enter the forest, my first smile in months. This is my home. Today has the perfect weather, not too cold but not too hot. The nice gentle breeze of spring sweeps by me. It's April and nearly my birthday but I couldn't care less, I never celebrated even after I won my first Games. I walk to our meeting place rock but it feels so bare without another person sitting beside me. I shoot a couple of squirrels, not my usual clean shot through the eye but it will do.

~A few hours later, still at the rock~

I feel like such a coward. Shutting myself out from everyone and not enjoying life. I miss Gale so much. I wish I could see him, hug him. I loved him and he loves or at least loved me. It's not possible of course, he loves in District Two and travel between Districts is forbidden- wait. No it isn't! Ever since Paylor became she has made regular trains go from District to Districts so friends can be reunited wherever they live and visit each other! An idea pops into my head. I am not going to spend my life with depression and misery. I can't blame Gale forever. He barely knew about the bomb.

I argue with myself momentarily because I shouldn't forgive someone so easily and I shouldn't make drastic decisions in a second. But I have made my mind up.

I will go and find Gale in District 2 no matter what it takes.

A/N Dun dun dun! Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it, feedbacks are welcome :)
