The next few weeks Prim kept asking and asking and asking, "where's Daddy?". Mommy was becoming scary. The only way Katniss could explain it to Prim was that "Mommy is asleep". Prim knew better then that though, and she was scared. During those weeks food was pretty good though. Since nice people had given them more money then they'd ever had for just a month.
But then, the money ran out. Katniss seemed worried, and Prim was always hungery. One day, it seemed as though Katniss wasn't going to come home. Prim was terrified. Daddy was still in the mines (that's what Katniss told her), Mommy was sleeping and whatever Prim did she couldn't get her up! It was really scary, espescially for a 7 year old. Prim was worried that Katniss had just left, and left her to take care of everything. She worriedly went to sleep.
Thankfully when she woke up Katniss was there again. And was that bread she smelled? She hadn't had bread since the first day after Daddy decided to stay and play in the mines. She went downstairs as fast as her weak body would let her. She sqealed with joy as she say the bread. Katniss was scraping off black stuff, but with her hunger, she really didn't care. She gobbled the bread down, and for the first time in days, skipped to school with a full belly.
After school she met Katniss at the usual spot after school, and found her looking at a blond haired boy, Peeta, she thought his name was, oh well she was too excited to go home and finish the bread.
So of course they went home. Prim walks in giggling over how silly Katniss was being, just to please her. They sat, and Katniss finished off her jokes by eating messily. After they had finished off the bread, Katniss took her by the hand and led her to the meadow. They gathered lots and lots of pretty flowers. Katniss called them dandelions. She made them into a yummmy dandelion salad, and for the first time in weeks, the youngest Everdeen was completely full. In the weeks after that Katniss began going into the woods and hunting. From that time on, they usually ate meat.
