DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. Except for Kinnon and some other characters that you might not recognize.


Kinnon's POV

I woke up early today, threw the first clothes I found on and ran down the stairs, I jumped from the third slope to the wooden floor and it creaked as I darted out to the door and smashed it open, I didn't bother to close it, I just rand to the merchant area as fast as I could to leave the strawberries in the front door before anyone in the Mellark's bakery woke up. I do this every week, in the weekend I collect different types of berries, tie them in a piece of cloth and leave hem for Peeta, I always leave a note for him. This one says "They're just as sweet as you -K." I think that's kind of too sweet, but it's what I think.

Peta Mellark has been the sweetest person to me scince I. . . can get to remember. I blush to the tought of him, and I decide to linger around, just to see his tired and glowing blue eyes shine with the sunlight and his messy blond hair.

After a while I see him wake up and come down the stairs. He is one of the few people that wake up looking dazzling. It's barely six o' clock in the morning, so I must've woken up at four. I look at him walking towards the door and I dash behind a store, to see his face. He reads the note and blushes, then looks around for someone to be near, akes a strawberry and bites on it. He seems to enjoy it. That makes me very happy.

I walk calmly from where I hid towards my house, making sure to slowly walk in front of the bakery, Peeta's still in the front porch, so I 'casually' turn to look at him and smile, he smiles back, his smile makes my heart skip a beat, it's just so. . . wonderful.

As I get to my house and take my knives to find some food, I must eat as much as I can, the Third Quarter Quell is tommorrow, and If I get picked I have to get on a few pounds. Who knows what wickedness their going to do this time, I think as I throw in a jacket ant put the knives in the inside pocket. I head out to the meadow to go hunting for as much as I can.

I have to hunt because, well, I'm an orphan. My father brought me from District 13 when I was about two years old, and he married Katterine Abernathy, Haymitch's bastard sister. She took me as her own and loved me, until they were executed by the Capitol. My father was a sort of vigilant from thirteen, to inform them about the Capitol's activity nearby. They discovered it and shot him and my mother. I was about 10 years old, and when I came from school, I didn't find them, but saw their blood splashed across the floor.

I don't want the people to know I'm an orphan, because they'll send me to live with my 'uncle' Haymitch, and he's a crazy, careless stinky drunk, and it won't be much different from living alone, just that my house smells nicer.

Peeta'sPOV

Today in the morning I heard a noice in my door, and went to open it, again, one of those tiny bags filled with fruit, berries or nuts that appear every week in my front porch every morning, with a note attatched to it. I bet Katniss leaves it, we haven't spoken scince the victory tour, though, so today I decide to venture in the forest for the first time, to find her and thank her for the berries.

I walk towards the meadow, and find a loose spot to sneak in, I've never been to the foest, but it's not bad at all. I hear all of the birds shut silent, and I hear a faint voice coming from somewhere, I bet it's Katniss singing. I sneak up and hear the voice getting stronger, I haven't heard Katniss sing scince we were five. This voice is strong and powerful, yet sweet. I sneak up into a bush and get extremely close to the voice.

I close my eyes and get close to her, and kiss her shoulder. I feel her shiver and open my eyes. SHIT! this girl is not Katniss! Her hair is the colour of honey, although a bit darker, and her skin is olive, but tan. I back away, but she already turned around, and saw me. Her cheeks go beet red and freezes on the spot. . . She's the girl who smiled at me tenderly in he morning. I feel so embarrassed.

KinnonPOV

PEETA MELLARK JUST KISSED MY NECK!

What was he thinking about? Does he know it was me who leaves him the berries? Does he like me? I'm just so happy I could die. I decide to put all my catches in a sack and head out, I need to eat as much as I can. I find a fat groosling trying to fly on top of me, but as I see it I throw one of my knives at it and slash it's head off. More food for me.

After my excitement I decide to return to my house, turn my old TV on and stare at it, I knew they were going to broadcast the announcement today, so I keep staring unir I hear the anthem, and suddenly President Snow appears, he does a lot of introduction and then takes a small wooden box with the number with hundreds of years worth of Quells. he takes out an envelope with the number three printed on it. He say all that it means, but I don't care about what he says, until he speaks the words "The double of tributes will be sent. One male victor and a boy related to him, and one Female victor and a girl related to her."

Thanks Haymitch, being your niece has been really helpful - I think. Tommorow at two I'll be standing alone in the area of the fifteen-year-olds, waiting for my name to be called and fight against 24 victors and their relatives.

KatissPOV

NO! This can't be happening, I can't bare to think of Prim's name being called again, and now, there's no way to save her. I dart out of my house in the Victor's village and dash to my old house of the Seam.

This is awful, how can this be happenning! Snow did this, he knows Prim is the only relative of a victor. . .why? -I think.

I sit in a corner, where I curl up in a ball. I yell with rage, sadness and fear. Tears down my cheeks, and I start sobbing.

After I have no tears left to cry, I hear someone walk towards me, I look up and see my mother. I notice the dispair in her eyes, she's feeling as bad as me, and she knows all that I'm thinking.

She comes towards me and ties her arms around me. This makes me feel better.

"Katniss, you have to come back home, Primrose needs you. . . And I do too."

"I won't be good comforting her, if she sees me like this she'll get worse, she knows she's coming to the Games"

"You have to be strong! You can't leave her now! You can't do what I did!"

She's right, I can't leave Prim. I stand up and look at her, she stands too and we walk home. I find Prim staring at some spot i the distance, thinking.

"Prim, I'm here" I say, she turns around and smiles. "Everything will be alright, I'm here for you" she gives me a lovely grin, and I hug her, I will protect her.

We all go to sleep. Everything will be alright, Prim is coming home safe and sound.

Tommorrow is the reaping day.
