The Search For Home

Two months after leaving Nanthia, Cinderella enters the Hunger Games. She returns to Nanthia five years later, a changed woman—emotionally and psychologically scarred from what she endured—as a tribute and rebel. Will she be able to recover from the traumatic events of the arena and fight her past? Or will Lady Tremaine prevent a full recovery for her former stepdaughter and maid?

4. Naptime

Later, Rella and Samar took their daughters to the hotel where they would be staying for the length of the trip.

Samar immediately said, "Now, girls, Momma and I have one last stop to make. It will be hard for her, so be good for her and stay here, OK?"

They nodded and Rella took the girls into their room and began putting them into bed for their nap. She then sang the lullaby. "Deep in the meadow, under the willow—a bed of grass, a soft green pillow. Lay down your head and close your sleepy eyes—and when again they open, the sun will rise. Here it's safe, here it's warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you. Deep in the meadow, hidden far away—a cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray. Forget your woes and let your troubles lay, and when again it's morning, they'll wash away. Here it's safe, here it's warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you."

After the girls were asleep, Rella and Samar went to Tremaine Manor.
