A/N: Hey this is my first story so I hope you like it. I could use some ideas so reviewing would help. Thank you all. I do not own The Hunger Games or the characters in it, Suzanne Collins does.
Katniss POV:
I wake up again for the third time tonight. Another nightmare from the Hunger Games, and I can't get the image of Rue dying out of my head. It's now the beginning of the Fall season and it's been about three weeks since Peeta and I had won the games. Since then I haven't spoken to Peeta. I know how selfish it is but I'm not ready to see him again; not yet at least.
Next to me the clock is ticking, lulling me to a more peaceful state. I slowly roll myself up and out of bed to find that it's around 4 o'clock in the morning. Quietly I walk downstairs being careful not to wake up Prim or my Mother. As soon as I get to the kitchen I see the pile of mail addressed to me. There's mainly letters from 'adoring' fans in the Capitol. Once I begin to sort through them I stumble across one that's not from the Capitol; and I can only tell because Capitol envelopes have special designs and seals. I look at the plain white envelope. It has no address on it, which leaves me with a weird feeling. As silently as possible I slip the letter in my PJ shirt and take out the kettle to make some tea to calm me down. Suddenly I hear someone stumbling down the stairs.
"Katniss!" Prim squeals. "You finally have come out of your room."
"Yeah, it's been a bit hasn't it." I say while putting the kettle on the stove.
"Katniss what is that?" Prim asks while pointing at the letter barely sticking out of my shirt.
I look up at her, pause for a minute, and say, "It's a letter from someone. I'm not sure who but it's not from the capitol like the rest."
"Oh." She says taken back a bit.
"If you want to you can read it with me." I say as the kettle begins to whistle. "You can also have some tea if you'd like."
"Thank you Katniss, I think I will do both." Prim says politely.
Once I've poured the tea I look up and see Prim looking at me expectantly. I set down the tea for both of us and realize that Prim is waiting for me to take out the letter.
I open it up quickly and unfold the letter inside saying, "Here goes nothing."
