Chapter One- Katniss POV
I see them play in the green meadow running around freely. One girl and one boy. It took along time to say yes to Peeta but we finally decided. Fifteen years ago Peeta and I were just tributes in the games. Fighting till our death, with one survivor. Now Willow and Rye don't need to know about that. When they are old enough, I will show them "the book", but for right now, nothing could be better for our family. They will soon understand what Peeta and I went through. We were just kids then, didn't understand anything. I try to forget the tough times and Peeta too. The games were something no one wanted to experience ever again for our country.
Peeta calls Willow and Rye for us to eat lunch. I hand out plates and silverware for them. Peeta hands out the food contains of bread rolls, salad, sandwiches, fruit punch and cookies. I ask Rye, "Did you and Daddy decorate these?" "Yes sissy helped too, I made the one with blue, and it looks the best." He answers. "No, Rye. Mine is the best because I made it with orange, Daddy's favorite color. He even said it looked pretty." Willow tells Rye. They start to nag each other on, when finally Peeta says, "I think both of your cookies look good. Come on, why not you two go back into the meadow and play." " Yes Daddy." They reply. Peeta is always the one who keeps things under control. I try as well, but most times it doesn't work as well. I see them run back into the meadow.
"Thank you." I say to Peeta. "It's nothing to keep them both from fighting with each other." "You know Peeta, I still think about the games a lot. Willow is almost nine and it's coming soon when we have to show her "the book." I say in concern. "You always try to worry about something you know. Always concerned about something." I give him a slight push, " No I don't! Well you must worry about things too." He puts his arm around me. "Think about it, how long has it been since the games?" I don't answer. "Exactly. Nothing ever is going to happen to them either." " I have a question." I say. "What?" " You love me real or not real?" He answers, "One hundred percent real." His lips fall onto mine in the morning sun. I smile back at him and kiss him back.
I tell Willow and Rye it's time to leave, Rye is disappointed, but Willow yells back, "I left Laney by the woods." "Okay, just make it fast." I take Rye's hand and he helps me pack up the picnic basket. He's been starting to help me around the house, just like his Father, always kind and considerate. Peeta folds the picnic blanket while I start to talk to Rye. "What did you and Willow play in the meadow?" I say. "Tag, played with sissy's dolly and Daddy came over to give us piggy back rides." "How fun." I reply.
A scream comes from the meadow and I quickly turn back to the meadow. No sign of Willow.
