I was out hunting when I heard a rustle in the bushes. I turned around and squinted towards them, seeing the small child with hair that resembled my own, but long and wavy. She had on a small light brown leather jacket and blue jeans with her brown boots. She looked exactly like a young me, but with Peeta's eyes. I made my way toward the bush and the 8 year old girl emerged into clear sight. I said, "Rue, what are you doing out here? This is too far back into the woods for you to be." She laughed quietly and said, "I'm sorry mom. I just wanted to see where you go all of the time." I smiled and walked over to her. She ran up to me and jumped into my arms. I laughed and said, "I honestly would have never expected you to follow me just to see me hunt." As she lied her head on my chest, she whispered, "I'm sorry. I just want to be like you mom." I felt the tears stinging the back of my eyes in the thought of my own daughter going through what I had. I couldn't bear seeing child fighting to her death. Would she have made it out alive just as Peeta and I had? Or would she have been one of the first to die? What about my son, Finnick? Would he have been in the games? Could they have possibly went in together because he would have volunteered? All of those thoughts disintegrated when I heard Peeta's voice. I was on the ground and in his arms. "Katniss calm down. It's ok. You're with me." he said. I looked at him, feeling the tears streaming down my face. Rue and Finnick were standing a few feet away from us, looking at me with confusion. "Was I screaming?" I whispered. Peeta pulled me close and nodded his head. He said, " I heard you all the way at the house and got here as fast as I could. I looked at Rue, her eyes filled with worry. "Mom, are you ok?" She said. I nodded. I noticed she had a cut on her face. I asked, "Rue, did I hurt you?" She replied, "No, you just dropped me, but I'm ok." I said, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." She nodded understandingly. I stood up and brushed the fall leaves off of me. I was wearing my usual getup, the same as what Rue is wearing but I'm wearing skinny jeans and my jacket is a little bit darker than hers. My hair is also in it's original braid. Finnick ran up to me and hugged me. He looks a lot like Peeta, but has curly hair and my eyes. Plus the fact he is very chubby for a 6 year old boy, but he is so sweet. Just like his father. Rue is sarcastic like me, but for an 8 year old, she can cook really well. I wonder if Finnick will hunt like me. Rue wants to, but I am a little bit nervous over that. She reminds me of Prim. So kind and gentle. My mother has actually been teaching her about medicine, so that makes her more like my sister. I wish she could have known more about her aunt, but I burst into tears every time she brings it up. I look at my two children as they are running through the woods. Peeta grabs my hand and kisses me. We start walking back towards our small cottage like house and Peeta stops me. He looks me in the eyes and says, "I know its hard on you, but trust me our kids will be safe." I nod and he pulls me into a long hug, then we start walking back towards the house.
