My Life Changed Forever
Chapter 1: The Capitol Interview
Rose's POV (Point Of View)
I sigh deeply and whisper,
"My name is Primrose Rue Mellark or "Rose", I am 13 years old. My brother is Finnick Gale Mellark, my mom is Katniss Mellark, and my dad is Peeta Mellark. My best friend is Lily Hawthorne who is also 13. I live in Victors Village with my Uncle Haymitch and Aunt Effie. All former "victors" or something are now here with us at the Capitol to appear on T.V. with Ceaser Flickerman to advertise the new Capitol Kids Hunger Games."
Last week when they had called, Lily was hanging out with Finnick and I when we heard the phone ring and ignored it until we heard my mom yell my dad's name and the clunk of the phone hitting the floor.
I realize I am seconds away from going on stage, to join my mom and dad when Finn asks,
"Are you talking to yourself?"
I was about to reply with a nasty comment when I hear our names called. Finn and I walk on stage, and sit in between our parents with a forced smile.
"And here come the Mockingjay's kids!"
Announces a guy in all blue including his hair. I make a mental note to ask who the "Mockingjay" is later. Finn and I smile and answer his questions along with everyone else until we leave and go home on the amazingly fast train. Mom, dad, Finn, Uncle Haymitch, and Aunt Effie and I were the last ones to get off and said our good-byes while heading to our separate houses.
Once inside Finn runs off to take a shower and I spin around in the dress that a really nice guy named Cinna designed. (My mom had been so happy to see him because she had thought he was dead!) I then remembered my question, so I asked,
"Who is the Mockingjay?"
My dad gasped and my mom grabbed onto the counter but slipped and crashed onto the floor as I screamed,
"MOM!"
and as dad yelled
"KATNISS!"
