Chapter 2: Katniss' P.O.V.

My eye lids flutter open and for the first time, in what seems like forever I haven't had any nightmares. I expect to find Peeta's arms around me, but I am alone in the bed. However I know he is here because I can smell the sweet scent of blueberry pancakes wafting up the stairs from the kitchen. I pull a sweater over my pyjama top and slowly trot downstairs. I sit at the little round table in our kitchen and I just watch him cook.

"Today I thought maybe we could move all my stuff over?" Peeta asks as he hands me a plate full of the delicious smelling pancakes. I smile and nod my head still staring at him, he looks so at home here, as if nothing has happened, I sometimes wish I was as good as him at pretending things are okay when they're not. Everything is perfect now, but I have always been jealous of Peeta's way with words and his calmness.

"What are you thinking about?" Peeta asks, "You." I reply with a smile, he smiles too. He then kisses me on the top of the head and heads out the front door, I presume to start packing up his stuff.

Slowly I rise from the chair and I make my way upstairs. I wash my hair and braid it in two plaits like prim used to, just to be different… for today. I pull on a plain orange T-shirt and a hoodie Peeta left here a few days ago, I slip into some jeans and then I head out the door to find Peeta. I find him in the back bedroom, otherwise known as his art room, packing his paints and canvases into boxes. He sees me come into the room and he smiles.

"I like your hair, it's a nice change." "Thank you," I know he is thinking I look like prim but he doesn't say anything.

"I thought I might start to pack up your clothes?" I suggest, "Sure," he says "you know where they are, here take some boxes." He passes me some boxes and kisses me lightly on lips before I leave to pack up his clothes. I start going through his chest of drawers. I pack up his socks, underwear, T-shirts and sweats. I then move onto his wardrobe and I begin packing his shirts, jeans and jackets into another box. Finally I put his shoes into another box; I then sit back onto his bed and a look around the room, properly for the first time. I notice a folder, at the bottom of his wardrobe that I must have missed when I was clearing it. I walk over and pick it up, in the folder there are sketches of me mainly, but one in particular catches my eye. It's of Prim, her hair is like mine today and she is wearing her favourite light orange dress, and she is holding buttercup.

I Jump as I feel Peeta's arms snake around my waist, he tenses up as he sees the picture I'm looking at, at first I think he is having one of his moments but then relaxes. Then we just stand there, me in his arms and after several moments of silence I finally break it by softly whispering "I miss her so much."

"I know you do," Peeta says in a similar soft tone "But you know she is always here with you, she is looking over you now, and I know she would be very proud of you katniss." I know he is right and somehow I feel closer to Prim than I ever did before and I think I have finally found closure over Prims untimely death. However there will still be a small part of me that will always blame me for Prims death. If I had never had pulled out those berries, the chances are the rebellion would have never happened and Prim would still be here.

Peeta's P.O.V.

I remove my arms from Katniss' waist and I start to take some boxes over to my new home. She follows me out with some more boxes, I notice she had placed the folder with the sketches in on top of the box she is carrying, "you know, if you really like that sketch of Prim we could frame it?" I say softly, I don't want her to feel pressured; I'm scared that my suggestion may be too much, what if seeing the sketch everyday makes her feel worse?

"I would really like that!" she says with a bright smile, to my surprise. We Finish taking over the boxes and unpacking around noon. I didn't have much stuff in the first place, we turned the attic into my new art room, and we place my clothes alongside katniss' clothes in the wardrobe and chest of drawers.

After I suggest we walk into town to get some food, seen as I used most of the remaining supplies we had last night and this morning. I take her hand as we walk out of lane of the Victors Village and head towards the town. When we are about half way there we pass Haymitch, he is carrying a large box filled to the brim with liquor bottles. Haymitch sees me staring and he gruffly states "The train from the Captial just came in." I nod in repose and we carry on walking. The Next familiar face we pass is Greasy Sae,

"Look at you two, Haymitch said you had finally moved in together, I told him it was only a matter of time!" Sae says with a hint of smugness. Katniss giggles and her cheeks blush, and I am slightly taken aback as Katniss always never giggles, it is very out of character.

"Yes sae its official we have moved in together." Katniss manages to say through her giggles. Sae nods her goodbye and Katniss and I continue walking, we arrive in what used to be the square, and head to the temporary grocery store. Whilst District 12 is being re-built we have temporary shops. So far the construction teams have re-built a small elementary school, middle school and a high school so that children can return to district 12. They have also re-built a Hospital and some houses where the seam used to be. They are half way through building a new, grocery store, butchers, bakery, a small clothing store for the basics and a small apothecary store. I was approached to run the new bakery and I decided I would, it will be hard at first I know. All of the reminders of my family and past life but I think it will be worth it in the long run, for me and for Katniss.

I know Katniss doesn't like to spend a lot of time in the town, too many memories of what our life used to be like, so I decide to do a big shop so we won't have to come into town again for a while. However, she seemed excited to being doing our first shop together, she marched straight into the store and began to mutter to herself about the quantity of what we needed. I just followed her around with the cart, picking up a few items I needed, that Katniss didn't think to put in. We pass the baby isle and although she claims she never wants children, I see something in her eyes that suggests otherwise. I mean we are too young for children now; we are only 18, but one day, just like I think we will get married, I think we will also have children.

She sees me staring and she quickly turns away, "I think that's everything." she says "Not everything." I reply, as I make my way over to the little desk that stands by the entrance of the store. The store stocks basic stuff but sometimes you may need something that the store doesn't stock, so you can order it in from the Capitol. The store doesn't stock photo frames so I decided I would order one now so it would be here on the next train from the Capitol. As I am walking back to where katniss is standing she asks "What did you order, we just got everything we need?" "I ordered a frame for the sketch of Prim." I reply, "Oh Peeta, thank you, this means we can put it up as soon as the next train comes in!" she says gleefully, "Your very welcome Miss Everdeen." I never expected something as small as this to make her so happy. Maybe she has finally come to terms with Prim's death? I take some bags from katniss, so she doesn't have to carry as much and she kisses me lightly on the cheek, she puts her free arm around my waist and we head off towards the Victors Village.

The walk home takes longer, as we have the shopping bags weighing us down. When we get back to the victors village we see Effie sitting on our front porch. She is wearing the typical Capitol fashions, bright colours. Her hair is a shade of turquoise blue, it matches her darker blue skirt and jacket. She is surrounded by 3 rather large suitcases and 1 very large trunk. She sees us and she awkwardly stands up, her skirt restricting her movements, then she starts to run towards us, as well as she can run in 5 inch heels.

"Katniss, Peeta!" She exclaims, in her silly Capitol accent.

"Effie what are you doing here?" I ask in shock,

"Well I thought… I thought I could move into Peeta's old house?"


I Hope you Guys liked the ending, I really love Effie and so i thought it would be nice if she came back to District 12 :)
