A/N: In this story the hunger games never happened. Everyone is normal, well as normal as you can get but normal. Basically this story is about how Katniss deals with a tough situtation.


*Introduction*

Katniss Everdeen wasn't know normal girl, she was special. She recently moved to the capitol with her mother, her younger sister Primrose, her cousin Clove, and her four year old daughter Ross. Ever since Clove's parents died, she moved in with the only family she had left. It also didn't help the fact that ever since Katniss made her mistake when she was thirteen with her best friend Gale, she was left with a responsiblity. Katniss looked at her new home, her mother got a raise and was transferred here, now they had money and plenty of it.

"Mom, can Clove, Katniss, and I go out and buy some new clothes for school?" Prim asked her mother.
"Sure, but don't buy anything skimpy" she joked.
"We won't, can you keep an eye on Ross?" Katniss asked.
"Sure" her mother nodded.

They grabbed the credit card from Mrs. Everdeen and left the house. They eventually found a place of stores. They walked into a store that sold clothes for Prim. After Prim tried on multiple shirts, skirts, jeans, dresses, ext. they paid for everything and then went to go to a store that had clothes in Clove and Katniss's size. Since they were both seventeen they were practically woman. Even though Katniss and Clove weren't girly, they were the type of people that went out into the woods and hunted anything and everything. They entered a store called Joyce's. They looked around when Katniss noticed Clove scoff.

"What?" Katniss asked.
"That bitch over there keeps looking over here, I'm about to take my knife and skin her alive" Clove exclaimed to Katniss and Prim.

Katniss looked to see a blond girl with a lot of glitter on, she was with three boys. Katniss felt Prim tug her shirt.

"Yeah" Katniss asked.
"Try not to fight please?" Prim practically begged.
"We won't, unless that girl starts something" Clove muttered.

Katniss was looking at a rake of shirts when Clove snapped. Clove went over to the girl that was snickering and looking in their direction. Katniss went after her cousin.

"You have something to say bitch?" Clove went head to head with the girl.
"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie, was I being to loud" the girl said pretending to feel remorse.
"Clove don't make a scene" Katniss tried to pull her back but Clove wasn't backing down.
"No, not until glitter bitch shuts the hell up" Clove glared at the girl.
"The name is Glimmer" she snickered.
"Wow, her name seriously does ryhme, that is so not a shock" Clove said sarcastically.
"Coming from you Clover!" Glimmer spat.
"It's Clove" corrected Clove.
"Big deal, just because your new, doesn't mean you can be coming up in my personal space" Glimmer gestured around her.
"Yeah well I'll be invading that personally space with my-" Katniss put her hand over Clove's mouth.
"I know where you're going with that sentence" Katniss looked at Clove.
"Clove back away" Prim's voice was heard.
"Aw, you even have a little girl telling you to leave, isn't that sweet" Glimmer teased.
"You litt-" Katniss pulled Clove away finally.
"Lets go" Katniss said.
"You're lucky" Clove sent a glare and Glimmer who just smirked.

The girls left and went back home. Prim went to her room while Clove and Katniss went to Clove's room. Katniss rolled her eyes at her cousin's room. Clove's room was a blood red color and on the wall by her bed she had a display of knives.

"You seriously hung these up" Katniss asked looking at the wall of knives.
"Yes, you see if that Glimmer bitch ever comes here, I can slice and dice" Clove grinned. "By the way, why did you pull me away?" Clove asked.
"You were going to make a scene in a public place" Katniss said.

Clove sighed and rolled her eyes. Ross came running in.

"You're home" Ross beamed at her mom.
"Yes" Katniss nodded.
"Good, me want to play" Ross said.
"You can't, it's time for bed, since it is almost ten and mommy has her first day of school tomorrow" Katniss picked up her daughter.
"Yay!" Clove said sarcastically.
"Night" Katniss waved to Clove. "Night" Clove said in a fake cheery voice, which made Katniss laugh.

Katniss put Ross to sleep than got herself ready. 'Tomorrow was going to be fun' Katniss thought sarcastically. She got into her bed and looked at the ceiling before drifting off into the darkness.
