Prologue

"Okay, so I'm seriously telling you this," Katniss Everdeen, a successful hunting cooperation manager spoke as she ran into the elevator while she spoke to her business partner –Finnick Odair, a spokesperson from ally perfume company. "No you cannot go onto the set shirtless, Finnick…" She argued as she clicked the close button of the doors. The doors slowly shut, but not before a muscular pallid hand stuck out and grabbed it. "I'll explain the details later." She sighed as she hung up. The doors both reopened to reveal a blonde haired blue eyed angel as he stepped into the elevator.

"Sorry," He said apologetic before he resumes speaking into the phone clasped in his free hand. He swaps hands as he holds the paper that was tucked in his arm. "No, Annie," He says drastically. "The tax collectors are coming to get the money tomorrow, you know what," He says as he looks at his watch beneath his denim cheap jacket. "I'll just explain everything to you tomorrow after I settle things with the landlord." He hung up as the duo stood in awkward silence as cheesy romantic elevator music played through the small space.

'And I looked into your eyes'

'So beautiful'

Katniss couldn't help but look to her feet; she glanced secretly at the reflection of her company through the metal door. "So..." She began but the elevator halted as the doors opened and the man stepped off in a hurry leaving Katniss in his dust. "I was talking." She said to herself, but it didn't matter as he was far out of ear shot

"Whatever."

Peeta Mellark had strongly ignored the woman in the elevator as he made his way to the landlord's office as he had to just settle important things first. His bakery was in danger, and the bakery was his life. He lived there, he grew up there and he owned the bakery. Losing it would be losing a part of his soul. It just wasn't right.

He opened the door as Cornelius Snow, the owner and landlord of the land his bakery was built was currently speaking on the phone, he was shocked by Peeta's sudden appearance but the impression didn't last long. "I'm sorry but somebody has just rudely walked in and smells of pauper, do excuse me as I turn you away to my assistant –Caesar, for a short moment." He hung up and placed his hands together carefully in a demeaning manner. "What may I have to honour of assisting you with, sir?" He asked grimly. Peeta unfolded the note he received this morning and slammed it onto the man's desk.

"Explain this please," Snow barely gave the paper a glance as he leaned casually back into his chair and smiled.

"You're overdue for the rent money." He stated proudly. Peeta felt his blood boil from beneath his skin. The land his family built their bakery on was never rented since it was their land after all. "Is that all...because I was in the middle of a very important phone call, Mr. Mellark," He said bored as he looked at his nails for a moment.

Peeta clenched his fist. "You can't do this," He yelled at Snow who smiled wickedly. Peeta slammed his palms onto the table. "You have no right too."

"Watch me," Snow snarled back as he slammed the face of his palms back down onto his desk as he stood his height and mirrored Peeta's posture as he levelled their eyes. "You listen here you pathetic baker," He whispered threatening. "Your bakery's never going to last, it never had and when your time's up, I'm going to rip that cottage of a shop of yours out of the ground and into the lake because that's where the place belongs in the first place." He finishes as he resumes his cool posture. "Now get out of here," He tells Peeta.

"And take that little reminder of how much you own me with you." He called out as Peeta slammed the door of the office shut. He needed some fresh air.

As Peeta exited the building he sat himself down on a bench beside a mysterious caravan stand. Young children gathered around the caravan. They were pulling their parents along. "Come, come," And elderly woman called. "I have something for everyone…" She exclaimed. Peeta got up and made his way to the parking lot seven blocks down, as he passed the lady, she held onto his arm. He paused for a moment. "Even something for you…" Which those words, Peeta found himself swallowing an odd berry.

"I don't have money to pay for that," He told her. The elderly woman just smiled as she told him it was free; Peeta thanked her before he left.

"You'll be grateful after this." She whispered.

Katniss groaned. "No, no, no," She said into her headset as Finnick moved shirtless across the stage and held up a golden triton. "No, Finnick. Don't do that face, we're aiming for men, not woman." She yelled before calling out cut. Nobody seemed to be even listening as the camera woman sighed and continued rolling a shirtless Finnick Odair. "Urgh…" She groaned once more as she pulled the camera's plug.

Finnick walked over to Katniss as he pouted. "What's the matter with aiming for woman, Catnip?" He whispered seductively only to receive a frown.

"Firstly, we are aiming for men! I repeat, M-E-N. Not W-O-M-E-N okay, and for crying out loud," Katniss exclaimed. "Put a shirt back on, seriously." She threw her hands up into the air as various male stylist followed her orders while the women just continued to dreamily stare at her partner. "I'm going out for some fresh air," She yelled behind her. But Katniss highly doubted that anybody heard a single word she said as they were too busy hanging on Finnick's every word.

She watched kids circle around that famous caravan stand as she exited the building. She thought to herself that maybe there would be something there to give her some inspiration for their Hunter's Cologne sale video. "Would you like one?" Katniss nearly jumped out of her skin as an elderly woman appeared before her. In her hand were some berries.

"No thank you," Katniss denied politely but before she had realized it, she had swallowed one. "I'm so sorry," She exclaimed after realizing her actions but the lady didn't seem to mind as she had disappeared as fast as she had come. "Hello?" She spoke out loud. Silence.

An idea blinked brightly in her mind. "That's it!" She exclaimed as she headed back into the building.
