Well, Hello there! Before you read this, make sure that you do know that this is part 2 of 3. If you haven't read part one, You may get a little confused, so go read part one and come back to this one once you are done. Okay? Okay.
This wasn't supposed to happen. I was supposed to have a somewhat normal life in District 12. Thats not what fate decided. Fate decided though lets take her life, and totally screw her over. Let's give her this crap life that is constantly making her or her sisters in danger. Yeah. Thats what fate thought. And fate has been keeping up on his or hers word, unfortunately. Well, I guess its not all terrible. A couple months ago, My little sister, Prim, was reaped into the Hunger Games. My older sister, Katniss, volunteered, taking her place in the annual Kids killing each other contest. I didn't expect Katniss to win. I thought that she would put up one heck of a fight, but not win.
Katniss won with her district partner, Peeta Mellark, a blonde haired boy from the town. Thats the first time ever where there are 2 people won the Hunger games. Ever.
Another good thing about these past few months was that we lived in the victors village. Katniss, Prim, my mom, and I moved into the house the day after Katniss got back. The Victors Village has the nicest houses in the district. They even have a second floor!
Im not going to say that I hate the new lifestyle, but I'm not going to say I love it either. I like that we can afford to eat, we have a roof over our heads, Katniss is alive and back home, and we won't be cold due to this cool thing called a heater. They feel quite nice. The bad things include everyone that stares at us whenever we go any where, Katnisss' not to great mental stability, and the fact that I had to move away from my best friend, Matt. Literally everyone knew the Everdeen name, and since I'm not the most social person, this wasn't too great for me.
"Burn?" Prim said, walking into the sitting room, where I was reading a book, "Where's Katniss? The People from the capitol should be here in 2 hours, and she promised me that she would help me with something."
"I think she's out hunting." I said looking up from my book.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it before Prim had a chance, expecting it to be Katniss's Prep team early, or Matt, or Peeta or someone the slightest bit normal you would answer the door to, not the President.
So picture my surprise when I opened the door to an elderly man, who just so happens to be the President of Panem.
"Pres-President Snow… What an honor…" I stumbled, not quite sure what to say, "Prim go get mom." I whispered to Prim who had taken over my book and was starting to read. She looked at me and I shot my eyes from her to the door and back to her. She nodded and went into the kitchen.
"Wha-what can I do for ya?" I said, addressing the President.
"I was acctu-", He stopped when his eyes landed on my mother.
"Oh sir… come in…" she stepped aside to let him in, "What can we help you with?" My mom is so much better at words then I am.
"I came to see your daughter, Katniss, is she here right now?" He asked while stepping into the doorway. Behind him, I spotted two guards, one was glaring at me.
"She's uh... "
"On a walk." Prim completed for my mother.
"Yeah, she should be back soon." I added.
"Okay, do you have any place where we could meet up, privately." Snow asked, kindly (almost creepily) smiling at my mother.
"Yeah, yeah, of course, Prim show them to the study." my mom moved to the side and allowed the 3 men into the house.
I glanced at my mom, giving her a questioning look.
"When Katniss gets back, what do we tell her?" I whispered to her.
"We ask her how her walk was, then before she questions us, interrupt her and tell her that we have visitors, got it?"
I nodded and whispered back,"I'll tell Prim." she nodded.
Just then, Prim came back down the hallway, escorted by the guards. I nudged Prim with my elbow and nodded my head to the stairs. I ran up to the second floor with Prim hot on my heels. I guided her to my room, the middle room, in between Katniss and Prim's rooms.
When she closed the door behind her, I told her the plan.
"Why do you think he wants to speak to Katniss?" I asked, not exactly aiming the question at Prim.
"Maybe he visits the new victor before they leave for the tour." She supplied.
"Well, when he figured out Katniss wasn't here, he could have gone to Peeta's." I said.
"He may have already been over there."
"Peeta would have called."
Prim sighed. "Yeah, I guess."
I glanced out the window for a split second, and saw a shape coming towards the house. I walked closer, trying to see if it was Katniss or Peeta, but I can't really see that far. The figure was tall. Katniss is sorta tall. The figure had brown hair? Or was it black? "Prim? Is that Katniss?" Prim got up from her place on my bed and stood next to me, looking out the window.
"Yes." She said and started to walk out the door. i followed her down the hallway and back down the stairs. As soon as I hit the last stair, Katniss opened the front door.
"Hey Little Duck." she greeted Prim. Prim smiled and continued towards the kitchen. I trailed behind Prim and whispered to Katniss, "We have visitors."
"Who?" She started to ask, when I shook my head slightly.
"You were out on a walk, got it?" I whispered again, before mom came by, asking rather loudly if Katniss had enjoyed the walk. She was signalling the bodyguards that Katniss was back from her "Walk". They got the message and came back down the hallway to get Katniss.
"Mrs. Everdeen, this way please." the one on the right said. He does realize there are 3 Mrs. Everdeens here, right? Whatever.
Katniss glanced at me, then followed the two down the hallway, to the study.
