Chapter 3

It will be short because I have TONS of homework to do! But then I feel bad leaving you guys wanting more :)
Katniss POV

The next day goes by in a flash, I wake up, eat, spend time with my mother who requested time off for me, eat more, she showed me around, then sleep for the next day to come.

The next day I wake in a dark room laying on a single bed. I turn my head a bit to see red flashing numbers saying 9:32. I slept in later than usual.

I get out of bed and slip on my pants and sweater. The door is old and stuck. I manage to budge it open and slip out. I end up in a small living room with an very old and rotten couch and a small tv with bad reception. I hear voice and quietly make my way into the kitchen to find my mother speaking on the phone.

"Yes... Mmhm... Okay... Will do.. Thanks you very much... Its because my daughter is in town... Yes, that's her... Okay will do... Thanks, bye bye" She says to the person on the other line, she puts the phone back on the base and turns. She turn with wide eyes when she sees me.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you, who was on the phone?" I ask

"Oh just the hospital, I was asking for this day off as well. They say hi."

"Oh okay" I say and look at the ground. "So I was thinking of leaving today"

She frowns and says "Of course, Just stop by more often, I don't want to lose two daughters now"

"Mom, that's not funny" I say looking up "I will stop by, Promise."

Okay, well then I'll help you pack up."

* * * PAGE BREAK * * *

She helped me pack my clothes an shoved some food for the train into my bags

"Say hello to Gail for me, would you" She says sadly

"I will, mom" I say pulling her into a hug. "I'll be back soon maybe"

"Okay stay well" She says pulling away and smiling

We walk to the train with silence between us

We hug once more then say our goodbyes

When I'm on the train I sit at a window and wave

I'm one of the only ones on this train going to district 2

* * * PAGE BREAK * * *

I come to a sun shining, warm weather, district 2. That's what I get for travelling in May, I guess.

Now to find Gail.

I go to the building where he works for the fancy new government

When I finally arrive I go to the receptionist desk and find a old, grey haired, wrinkly woman talking on the phone.
She turns to me and says

"Yes?"

"Oh, uh, yeah hi, I'm here to see Gail Hawthorn?" The name comes out strangely, as if it hasn't come out of my mouth in years.

"Let me see" She says searching through papers on her desk

"Ah, yes, Mr. Gail. He's on floor 6 room 13. The elevators are that way" She says pointing to a corner with a metal elevator

I slowly walk to the elevator button and push it, I can feel the eyes looking at me wondering what Katniss Everdeen is doing in district 2. The girl on fire, the girl who saved tons of citezines. Even after months of laying low I'm still remembered and famous.

I stumble off the elevator towards room 13

Room 10, room 11, room 12, room 13

I suddenly can't breath. I take deep breaths wondering what I'm going to say. "Stop it Katniss!" I think "Pull yourself together and open the damn door!"

I knock twice then turn the knob

"Come in" Says a familiar voice.

"Gail" I say, that's where he really looks up

"Catnip?!" He says with confusing in his voice, he looks up now with surprise in his eyes.

Thats all for now, homework! Sorry for shortness!

Sorry it's kind of a cliff hanger!
