It happened, just like that. Wars everywhere and yes the hunger games started. I had read the book but never dreamed of it happening.
I clutched Renesme close to me. What was happened to this world? So many wars I have brought my child into. I would of thought that we would have evacuated or at least be part of the capitol, but now we were living like Katniss Everdeen from the book. Edward is out in the mines, and I am growing plants. It's not real, it only temporary. Edwards's family is coming back for us. They are right now in the capitol.
Renesme's hand touches my cheek ….. 'Her name was being pulled from the bowl and the sharp voice rings through the stadium "Renesme Cullen", "Renesme Cullen".' I looked into her beautiful eyes and said "Renesme that is never going to happen, you are safe here with us."
Right then Edward walked in and picked up Renesme and twirled her around. Renesme's sweet laughs filled the air.
Edward looked at me and said "Ready to hunt my love?" I nodded. We put Renesme to bed with a snuggle and a story.
Then we were off, running through the forest green woods. The air was a crisp, and the time was perfect. No one was around, so we had the woods to ourselves. I felt the beating of a heart in a deer's body nearby. He was mine. I was off gracefully ripping through the trees then pounce. The deer was dead. The blood felt good down my throat.
We hunted a bit more and then headed home.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door the in came Renesme running towards us. "Hello mummy, hello daddy" she said excitedly. I knew she was ready for the day.
"Good morning darling Renesme" Edward replied.
Today was the annual Hunger Games. "Mummy todays the day, isn't it." Edward and I shared a glance. She was almost the age and her name would be put in the bowl soon.
Renesme put her hand to Edwards check. I knew already that he saw the image with his mind-reading but it was still affective. Renesme for the first time looked scared. It was different from the time Aro came to kill her. This time she would go alone. Me and Edward tried to comfort her and make her happy but now words could break the scariness of the Hunger Games.
