The Story of Jay Rose Everdeen
There was this big mystery to my life: Who was my real biological father? My name is Jay Rose Everdeen, daughter of Katniss Everdeen and the unknown.
The only two people I know of that my mom has a close relationship with were Gale and Peeta. Gale, as my mom has described, is tall, muscular, and looked so much like her with the olive skin, gray eyes, and black hair that they could be brother and sister. The average look of a person who lived in the Seam for many years.
My mom described Peeta as broad shouldered, has a stocky build, electric blue eyes, and has blonde hair. He was from the richer part of District 12, the more business –like part so he did not have the Seam look.
I got my natural talents from all three: Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. I could shoot with a bow and arrow really good but not as good as my mother. I could bake really decent bread if I was in the mood for baking. I could also set snares. Real good ones that are ninety-nine percent sure that gets an animal. Only if try really hard enough that it could be perfect. Sure, I got talents and looks from Gale, Peeta, and Katniss but who are my real biological parents.
"Rose! Get your butt down here and grab your bow and arrows!"
Gah! I hate it when she calls me by my middle name. She says she calls me Rose because since her sister, Primrose, and her fellow ally from the seventy-fourth Games, Rue, were named after a flower. Then my first name is Jay as in mockingjay, the bird that always stops to listen to her and her father's songs. Just to not mistake anyone, I am thirteen years old and I am a girl (considering that my name is Jay).
Before I left for the woods with my mother, I grab my mockingjay pin that my mother has passed down to me from my secret hiding place in my room and kiss my little brother on the forehead.
During my walk to the woods, I noticed a mockingjay perched up in a bird tree. Before it could fly away, I whistled the same four note tune my mother used for a signal with Rue. Like always, the bird became silent and then repeated my tune. I smiled back at the mockingjay and it seemed as it has smiled back.
At last, my mom and I arrived at the woods. I almost immediately got better after inhaling the smell of the woods. Ah, the smell of the woods is always soothing. Good thing that hunting here in District 2 is legal and I can come here anytime I want except after curfew which is 11:00 p.m. Now that is one less thing to worry about for my mom, Katniss. My mom hands me my bow and a quiver of arrows. I aim at an apple hanging from a tree. I release the bow and I barely miss the apple. Barely!
"You were almost there. Off by a few inches. Just...aim right, okay?" my mom says. My mom's encouragement always makes me want to do better because she is the best archer you could get in all of Panem. My mom scales the tree, grabs the apple and the arrow, then climbs back down.
"Here, aim again at the apple right...there. I'm going to go rinse the apple in the nearby stream over there while you shoot." She hands me the arrow and I take it, adjust it on my bow, and before I release the arrow, I look behind my shoulder for a nod of approval from my mother but she was not there. Nothing happened to your mom, Jay. She went to the stream, remember? Stupid me. I release the arrow and it stuck right in the middle of the apple!
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Mom! I did it!" I turn around and see my mother right behind me smiling a smile that is a mile long. I hug her she hugs me back. "Good job, Jay. You did it!" She handed me the apple and I bit a huge chunk of it off.
We start to head home. I barely noticed that it got much darker. I checked my watch and it was only 4:30 in the afternoon. Ehh. Who cares. As soon as we got home, there was a message on our front door. My mother and I read in unison: The 76th Hunger games will start this year. President Crasole announced that they MUST continue this year. Mrs. Everdeen, your child Jay Rose Everdeen will be participating in the Games. Thank you for your consideration. My voice drifted away from those last words.
