The midday sun was rising above me when I looked outside and saw my little brother, Lawr, as he ran along with his friends. Our house is situated between Aunt Punch's and Uncle Groove's house at the Victors' Village in District 12. My mother, Chimp, called me from the kitchen and asked me to visit my grandparents' house.
Today, we'll be commemorating my father's 3rd death anniversary. Maybe the reason why Lawr doesn't care on what we will be doing is because he doesn't have any relations with him. To make it easier, Lawr was born from my mother's other man.
Apparently, I should be the one who must be angry at him. However, the opposite of it happened. But somehow, I can feel a little bit of affection towards him. I mean, he's still my brother. Half of not, we still are.
I picked up my sweater and put it over my back. Winter is ending but the weather got a lot worse. My grandparents' house was just a few walks away. I heard rumors that they were great people. But I don't have any idea on what they are talking about.
I started to walk to my grandparents' house. Along the way, my attention was caught by and old abandoned house. The smell of liquor and puke still lingered. They told me that a man named Haymitch used to live in there. Another great man, according to their stories. I don't have any information about him but I can feel that he was somewhat connected to my ancestors.
My destination started to appear before my own two eyes. My grandmother sat in the front porch and smiled as I walked towards her. I hugged her and told her that my mom wanted to invite her in tonight's activity. To which, she agreed and replied that grandpa will be coming, too. I nodded and took a glanced as grandpa walked it. I told him the same things just as what I said to grandma. I grabbed a piece of paper with some writing on it.
"Here take this." I gave the paper to grandpa, which he accepts without second thoughts.
Well, I haven't introduced myself, yet. I am Micah Mellark, the girl with the unusual eyes. My left has a blue iris while my right eye is colored green, which stayed with me since the day that I was born. My parents were Zeal and Chimp Mellark. From my dad's side, my grandparents were Peeta and Katniss Mellark.
I walked back to our house and found my mother walking back and forth in our living room. Lawr sat on the chair near the window. He found me and told me to hurry. I clutched the flask that hanged on my belt and drank a part of it. I walked past the lawn covered with snow. My mother's flower garden nowhere to be found, since the flowers she planted were seasonal.
I opened the door and my mother hugged me just as I entered the room. I wondered for her immediate change of actions. She never loved me. She doesn't even love my dad. Never loved him, nor will be. She only cared about Lawr and his godforsaken father.
"What's the matter?" I asked mother as I pushed her away.
"No one can escape this time. It has returned."
