Ever since the Hunger Games ended Peeta and I have been in trouble. Everyone and I mean everyone is against us. Mostly the capitol. They hate what we did. The only district that doesn't hate us is 12. Prim is protecting me and so is Gale.
Gale is so sweet. Including when he is helping me hunt. Without him helping me and teaching Prim we would probably be dead. Prim is still worried that something is going to happen to her. I told her I would protect her but she isn't calming down.
She has been acting weird ever since mom died. She was lucky enough to make it so far. While I was gone though they had to eat the cat. That's what made Prim so protective. She doesn't want anyone or anything she cares about gone.
"Katniss, is anyone coming?" Prim asked. She was standing guard with a knife that Gale gave her.
"Prim you really need to calm down," I told her. She shook her head. She doesn't want me to go in any way shape or form. She won't even let me go hunting anymore. Gale keeps trying to connivence Prim that should go, yet she keeps saying no. "Prim can I please go hunting now?" I pleaded.
She looked at me with a serious look and shook her head. Prim hasn't let me have any freedom. I wish I could see the woods one last time. "What if Gale comes with me so I can go see the woods one last time?" I asked.
"When Gale comes back, you can go," Prim said seriously. She is starting to act like a mother and she isn't even married yet. She is starting to scare me but at least she is taking people seriously now.
Gale came back with a couple squirrels and a rabbit. "Can you take Katniss into the woods?" Prim asked Gale. He smiled and I smiled back. He nodded knowing that Prim was finally letting me out of the house.
We started walking towards the woods hoping the regulators wouldn't find us. It felt nice being in a place that always keeps me calm. I haven't seen Peeta in awhile thought so I'm really worried about him. "Have you seen Peeta around at all?" I asked Gale. He shrugged. Now I'm really worried.
I would go to the bakery but what if some regulators are there? I don't want to end up dead. I know Gale wouldn't want me dead either. The next Hunger Games is coming up and I don't want Prim in it even thought she is a good hunter.
"Gale I want to go back home," I said to Gale sadly. He looked at me confused. He knows I love the woods.
"Are you ok Catnip?" He asked. I shook my head and tears slid down my cheeks. He hugged me. I knew there was something important I had to do. I just didn't want to tell him.
"Please take me home Gale," I said.
"Ok," He said. We walked home and Prim was making food so Gale left me outside. I walked to the bakery. The regulators saw me and took me away. I wanted this to happen.
They didn't kill me they just cut my tongue out and I started working at the Capitol. Prim sends me letters asking me why I would trick Gale like that. I told her she needed to start living on her own.
I haven't seen her in years I hope she is doing ok. I work for Effie and Haymich right now which is good because I get to see them again. I just feel bad knowing that the tributes I see might not make it out of the arena alive.
Prim if you are reading this I miss you. Gale I miss you as well. Also find out if Peeta is still alive.
