The Hunger Games Return

Chapter 2-

I couldn't believe what I was reading in this letter. I didn't want to believe it. The letter read;

This letter is a statement that we are starting up the Hunger Games again. The 76th Hunger Games will be help on June 14th 2040. The Peace Keepers will be coming back to every district as of tomorrow. For more information watch Ceaser's Show tonight and tomorrow9pm.

Sincerely,

President Paylor

I say "oh my god." Then I remember everything goes black. What happen? What am I gunna do about the Hunger Games coming back? How and I gunna protect Willow and Rye. I remember waking up to Peeta and Haymitch over me. All I could do Is look it felt like I couldn't speak or move.

"are you ok sweetheart?" Haymitch said with a worry look on his face. It felt like I was being stabbed in the chest. My heart was aching. I finally spit out the words "im fine. What happen?" I just layed there for awhile. "well you fainted after you read the letter and hit your head pretty hard." Peeta said.

I fainted because of the letter. How do I do that. I must have been in shock. I thought these games were over with for good. With President Snow being dead I thought the games were never coming back. I slowly got up and looked at the clock. I was out for a hour. I looked around the room and didn't see the kids. They must of still been up in their rooms. Im glad they didn't see me faint. I don't know how im gonna tell them. I will have to tell Rye about the games now..

"what are we gonna do? We cant have them in the games. What are we." I was trying to say then I started crying. Peeta just hugged me and said "I don't know Katniss. I don't know." I forgot Haymitch was there so I tried to stop crying. I didn't like crying in front of him for some reason. I finally stopped crying.

I didn't know what to do. I was just thinking of the worse that could happen. I looked at the clock again and it read 7 o'clock. Dinner was late im guessing the kids were hungry. I look at Peeta and say "Have the kids came down? What are we gonna do for dinner?" I know I shouldn't be worrying about dinner. But I still I need to worry about what's happening now.

"the kids did come down but Haymitch brought them back to their rooms. I have dinner cooking now. So just relax Katniss." Peeta said. He was right I need to relaz and not to worry about the small things. I layed down on the couch and peeta went to get the kids because it was time to eat. It was about 8:30 when dinner was done.

We had the kids eat dinner in their room so we could watch Caesar's show and learn more about the Hunger Games Returning. It was still such a shocker that the games were coming back. Peeta and I weren't eating dinner we were to upset. Of course Haymitch ate something.

We sat in the living room waiting for Caesars show to start. The clock strucked 9 and then the show started. The room got all bright from the colors of his lights. "welcome welcome" Caesars says walking into the stage. He sits down onto the chair. "Now im sure most of you heard that there will be a 76th Hunger Games." He laughs after the crowd goes wild.

"more information about this is that its only a month away. The Peace Keepers are coming back to every district. No more trains. Nobody can go to other districts anymore. They will start Victory Tours of the last tribures. So that would be Peeta and Katniss Mellark." The crowd goes crazy when he says our names.

I turn and just look at Peeta he was just staring at the tv. Would that mean that we would have to leave the kdis when we go on victory tours? I don't want to leave the kids that long. Even though it was only a few weeks to do a victory tour. I didn't want to do those again. We stopped doing those after I killed Snow.

The show didn't really say anything more about the games returning. We let the kids come downstairs finally. They were asking questions about why they had to eat up in their rooms. Willow was upset because she missed Caesars show. Shes been watching him every night. We just tolded them that we had to talk to Haymitch.

Im surprised that Willow didn't ask about the letter. Im glad she didn't actually. "oh yea mom look what the teacher gave me. A letter for parents." Rye said. I knew it was probably the same letter Willow got about the Games returning. I didn't want to read it again. So I told him "moms tired go give it to dad for him to read it."

So he went on his way to make it to the dinning room where Peeta was helping Willow with her homework. Then I remember if Willow sees that she'll ask about the one she gave to us. "Rye. Wait ill just read it. Your dad is busy helping your sister." I said. I didn't want Willow asking questions. Rye came back and gave me the letter.

I was scared to open it. Then read the letter again. I didn't want that. Good thing Haymitch was still here sitting with me. I told Rye to go do to the dinning room. Haymitch and I opened the letter.

It was the same thing that said in Willow's letter she gave me. I didn't like reading it again. For some reason thinking of the games Gale popped into my head. I wonder if he knew that the games were coming back.

I walked into the dinning room to see Willow and Petta and Rye sitting there. I go up to Peeta and say "im gonna go for a walk. I need some air."

"ok. Don't go out to late. And be careful. Love you Katniss." Peeta said in respond. "I love you too Peeta. And Love you too kids." I say to Peeta and the kids. Then I walk into the living room and find Haymitch was still here. "Hey. Im gonna go for a walk. You can go to the dinning room or something. But thanks for tonight."

Haymitch decides to go home. I walk him home and then I went my way into town. I didn't know where I was going but I just needed to get some air. Ive had a pretty busy and hard day. I was in the town center. It was quite tonight. And then I pictured that the whole town will be in the center in about a month to get picked for the Hunger Games.

I finally found my house at this house. I go up to the door and knock. I know I shouldn't be here but I was about to leave and then the door opens. It was Gale. Then he said "Katniss? What are you doing here?" I was wondering the same thing. I just needed my best friend back. All I talk to about my problems is Peeta and Haymitch.

"I wanted to know if you heard the news? I don't know if you watched Caesar's show or not? But I just wanted to come and talk." I said to him. All he did was look at me with this confused look on his face. I was guessing he didn't see the show by the look on his face.

"no I didn't see it. Or heard the news. Whats going on?" he asked with fear on his face. He probably knew it was bad news if I was at his doorstep talking to him. After earlier with our little talk. I didn't know how to tell him or I didn't know how I was gonna explain it. I put my hands in my dads hunting jacket that I was wearing. I felt something. Paper. It was the letter.

I stood there with Gale we haven't said anything yet. "well what is it Katniss?" Gale said. I knew I couldn't tell him. "the." Those were the words that finally came out of my mouth. I started to cry. I haven't cried in front of Gale in a long time. He just pulled me in and hugged me. I haven't been in his arms in a long time.

I knew it was wrong to say this but it felt good to be in his arms again. But yet again I knew it was wrong cause I was in love with Peeta but still. I pulled away from him and looked into his eyes. I haven't looked into his eyes in a long time. I looked away and I pulled the letter out of my pocket and said "My daughter Willow and my son Rye got a letter at school from the capitol and well" I paused "read for yourself." I handed him the letter.

He opened it and I followed his eyes while he was reading it. I knew that look on his face that he was scared. He lowed the letter and looked at me. "Is this true? The Hunger Games are coming back?" he said with a tone of voice that I knew he was afraid.

"yea. The games are coming back. Caesar said some information on his show. And it will be on again tomorrow. I thought you would know but I guess not." I said I know he didn't know what else to say. But I knew I should be getting back to Peeta soon. "but Gale I should be getting back before Peeta gets worried about me." I say

"yea you should. Want me to walk you back?" gale asked me. I knew that it was wrong for even coming to Gale's Family's house. But for him to walk me home. I think Peeta would be mad at me. But I couldn't say no to Gale. "would you please?" I said.

It was weird and awkward when we were walking. But nothing I could do. I didn't want to say no. I had him only walk me to the bakery. We didn't live that much farther from the bakery. And I knew I could walk the rest. "we'll I can walk the rest of the way. Thanks for walking me this far." I said. "no problem." He said. I didn't know what to do next. He was going towards a hug. So we hugged. His body against mine felt nice. Then we stopped hugging he looked at me and went in for a kiss.
