Hi guys this is my last chapter for like a week. I know disappointing but I'm going on vacation with no wi-
fi. L well lets get on with it!
Disclaimer : I sadly do not own the Hunger Games… L
Chapter 2: is this really happening! Katniss
A year later…..
I cant believe its been a year since my hunger games and now I have to be a mentor. I shuddered as the
thought of me and peeta having to watch children die, children we knew. Even if we only had known them
during the time we mentored them , that was enough time to grow to like them. I sighed as I thought about
peeta . We acted like the star-crossed lovers on the victory tour, but now it was only cold hollow glances
that I got from him. No longer the sweet, warm kisses that he would plant on my cheek. that's when I
realized I do need peeta, he is what keeps me going and I do love him. I need to tell peeta, I cant wait
anymore but I cant do it in five in the morning! That's it I'm going, I have to. I slide out of bed and slip on
my hunting boots and my fathers hunting jacket. As I step out my room I try not to make the floorboards
creak with the pressure of my weight. Soon enough I'm at the bottom of the stairs and making my way to
the front door. "Katniss what are you doing?" I could tell by the small voice it was prim behind me. I
turned to see a sleepy prim looking at me curiously. "uuuhhh just running some early errands nothing
much…" I said casually. She just nodded and headed back to her room. I closed the door behind me and
locked it. I looked around me, it was fall already and the leaves were orange, yellow, red, and brown. Only
a week left until the reaping, I thought. I looked at my feet as I walked to peeta's house all the leaves
crunching under my feet. When I finally was on his porch every nerve in my body screamed RUN! But I
stood my ground and knocked on the door gently. I heard some shuffling in the house, and I smelled the
faintest aroma of bread when the door opened revealing a flour covered peeta. "Peeta I came over to work
things out and well I-" but peeta cut me short by putting his hand up signaling for me to be quiet and led me
in his home. I sat down on the couch as he wiped his hands clean. Once he was done he sat in an armchair
across from me." Well katniss go on…" his voice still held that hollow feeling from when we were on the
train. "peeta I-I love you." I stuttered. I myself who uttered those words couldn't believe it. He looked at me
trying to find a hint of lie on my face but found none. Then he got up and made his way towards me and sat
down next to me. "Katniss is this true? You don't have to lie to me…" he looked up to me to see what was
written across my face but I held my emotionless face. Then he knew for sure and in eleven months, thirteen
days, seven hours, and forty two minutes he smiled a real smile. that's when haymich barged in screaming at
peeta to turn the TV on. The screen flickered for a second before the capitol emblem appeared on it. Once it
faded it showed president snow smiling wickedly. "hello citizens of panem I would like to inform you all
that this years quarter quell we will be adding a random sole victor to go in to the arena once again." the
words of what snow just said sink in. I pray to god that it is neither me nor peeta. Snow walks over to the
small bowl and fishes around for a name. he is finally satisfied with one slip of paper and he pulls it out. He
then walks over to the microphone as he unfolds it. Then he announces the name and my mind says …
nothing has ever been in Katniss Everdeens favor….
Yep so I hoed you liked it! I didn't but I wanted to leave you guys with something before I went off on
vacation soooo bye!
