A/N Hey so I'm updating again I'm going to try to get the chapters up faster probably later at night because that's when I have more time. And thank you to my first two reviews they made my day I literally squealed with excitement (just like Effie)
Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games
I wake up to a knock at the door. I must have fallen asleep while I was watching tv with Levi. I get up and go the door, I open it and see a delivery man with a package in his hands.
"I have a package for a Mrs. Katniss Mellark" I smile at the mention of my not so new last name. Even though I've been Katniss Mellark for nine years I'm still not completely used to it.
"That's me" I say with a smile
"Sign here" I do so and he bids me a good day.
I shut the door and see Peeta standing there.
"Who's it from?" he asks
"I'm not sure…it doesn't say on the outside" I say walking to the kitchen table.
I inspect it further. It is a card board box that's about the size of a cutting board. It has tape wrapped around the point where the lid meets the box. I take a knife out of the kitchen drawer and cut the tape. As soon as I do I'm met with a horrible smell.
Roses.
I open it and sure enough find a bouquet of red roses. My face drains of color and Peeta must see this because he asks
"Katniss, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine" I say trying to keep my cool.
"You sure?"
"Yes I'm sure"
"Ok"
"What time is it?" I ask trying to change the subject.
"About 2 o clock" he responds looking at his watch. I fell asleep around noon so I figure I should do something useful. I decide on hunting.
"I'm going to go hunting I'll be back in time for dinner"
"Ok, and Katniss…be safe"
"I will" I say rolling my eyes at his fatherly protectiveness.
I walk out the door after grabbing my bow and arrows and since it's summer I leave my father hunting jacket. I head through the square waving at people who walk by. I soon find myself at the point where the fence used to be. I continue walking. I soon have four squirrels and three fat rabbits. The sun is going down so I decide to head home on my way I hear movement about a hundred yards away. I draw my bow and try to listen for anything I hear muffled voices I cant make out what their saying so I decide to leave before they notice I was here.
I get home and everything is kind of a daze we go through dinner and putting the kids to bed and before I know it I'm fast asleep. I have no nightmares I actually have a dream.
I sit on a bed of grass with Peeta next to me we watch as our children swim in the lake my father took me to as a girl. Peeta takes my hand and kisses it then gently rubs it saying "I love you" "I love you too" I respond.
The dream just continued with us watching the kids. Pretty boring dream right? Well it was beautiful to me. I wake up before Peeta and decide to go watch the kids sleep for a little. I crawl out of bed and check Levi's room first. No surprise he's not in there he likes to crawl in bed with Cara in the middle of the nights. What really surprises me is when I go into Cara's room and find her bed empty. The window is open. That's odd. I search all of the room upstairs and with panic building in my chest I go down stairs and check every room down their. I go into the back yard to check if their out there and when their no where to be seen I lose it. I run back in side and start bawling. Peeta comes running down the stairs asking what's wrong and through my tears I'm able to spit out
"Their gone".
