Chapter 4
Last Time:
The next thing Ramona finds out is Katniss, Theresa and Jerry walking in.
"That makes more sense. Katniss, is that your sister you were telling us about?"
"Yes Ramona." Katniss smiles before pulling Ramona into a hug.
Katniss looks at Alex's bed to see Prim staring at them in shock.
"Prim, the Russo's, besides Jerry and Theresa, are wizards. You cannot say a word to anyone." Katniss bites her lip not knowing how Prim is going to react.
When Katniss found out, she was in shock and surprised. But she accepted it quickly. In some way Katniss always knew there was some type of magic out there, but wizards... that was far stretched until Alex performed magic in front of her.
Now:
"So you guys are wizards?" Prim asks slowly after Theresa turns the lamp on.
"Yes." Theresa answers, "Only Justin, Max, Alex and Ramona are." Prim nods and looks at Katniss.
"How do you know they won't hurt us?"
"They had more than one chance and yet they haven't." Katniss smiles, "Plus I ran into Ramona and Alex when I was hunting. They invited me to stay for dinner."
"That's why you didn't come home."
"Correct."
Prim's brown eyes shines as her blonde hair falls down her back in waves.
"That's so cool." Prim smiles, showing her teeth, "Magic does exist."
"Just like dad always told us."
Alex rubs her eyes tiredly and yawns.
"May I go to bed?" Alex looks over at Ramona to see her lying back down, fast asleep.
"Oh sorry." Katniss pats the bed at the end of Ramona's for Prim. After Prim is covered up and back to sleep quickly, Alex crawls into her bed as Katniss crawls into her's. The two girls fall to sleep and Theresa turns off the lamp after kissing Alex's forehead. Theresa and Jerry smiles at the four girls before going back downstairs.
~K&A~
The next morning, Katniss opens her eyes to see Alex and Ramona quietly yet quickly getting dressed. Ramona's hair is down and brushed. She is wearing a long blue t-shirt that goes to her thighs. She is wearing ripped jean capris, ankle socks and brown running shoes.
Alex's hair is straight and brushed, going to elbows. She is wearing a purple long sleeved shirt, a beaded bracelet, jeans with converse and a grey hat on her head.
"Done?" Alex whispers to Ramona.
"Ya." Ramona whispers nodding. The two siblings tiptoe out of the room and down the stairs, not opening the curtains.
Katniss smiles knowing Alex and Ramona are normally hyper in the morning. But then something flashes into her mind. The reaping. That's in 2 weeks. In 2 weeks everyone's lives are going to turn upside down.
"MAX!" Katniss hears Alex scream, "GIVE ME BACK MY LUCKY CHARMS!" Katniss hears footsteps run up the stairs and looks at them to see Max standing there smiling.
"Morning Katniss." Max waves before ducking under Alex's bed.
Not even a second later, Alex's feet is heard of the stairs before heavy breathing.
"Morning." Alex waves before smirking and grabbing the box of Lucky Charms from Max's hand after kneeling on the floor, "You really need a new hiding spot."
Alex then gets up off the floor and skips out of the room holding the box of cereal to her chest.
Katniss rolls her eyes, climbing out of bed as Max walks out of the room in his grey cargo pants and a black t-shirt, along with grey running shoes.
She walks down the stairs and into the kitchen to hear a beautiful song play from a purple iPod.
Ramona is singing into a ladle as Alex is dancing as she eats her food and sings to the song.
(Ramona, Alex, Both)
I know I'm still young
But, I know how I feel
I might not have too much experience
But, I know when love is real.
Alex eats the last spoonful of her cereal and begins to sing into her spoon.
By the way my heart starts pounding
When I look into your eyes
I might look a little silly
Standing with my arms stretched open wide.
I love you this big
Eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
Katniss hears footsteps behind her and turns to see Theresa and Jerry slowly dancing and Max and Justin swinging side to side to the song.
I'll love you to the moon and back
I'll love you all the time
Deeper than the ocean
And higher than the pines.
'Cause girl, you do something to me
Deep down in my heart
I know I look a little crazy
Standing with my arms stretched all apart.
Alex and Ramona dances around the kitchen while singing not afraid to be silly and crazy.
I love you this big
Eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
So much bigger than I ever dreamed my heart ever would
I love you this big
And I'd write your name in stars across the sky
If I could, I would
I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
The song ends and Alex and Ramona gives each other a high five.
"Sing The Trouble With Girls!" Max claps his hands.
"Ok." Alex skips over to her iPod and plays the song, "You want to join Katniss?"
"I don't know the song." Katniss bites her lip.
"That's fine. Come dance then." Ramona walks over to Katniss and takes her hand. As the song starts Ramona dances with Katniss as Alex sings the song since she is the only one that knows the words. Besides, it's by Scotty McCreery, her favourite singer from American Idol before the tornado turned the Russo family's lives upside down.
Katniss sees that Justin is wearing a red t-shirt and sandy brown jeans with red running shoes.
The trouble with girls is they're a mystery They smile that smile Their sugar and spice and angel wings They smile that smile The way they hold you out on the dance floor They smile that smile
Something about 'em puzzle's me
Spend my whole life tryin' to figure out just what dem' girls are all about
The trouble with girls is there so dang pretty
Everything about 'em does something to me
Well I guess that's the way it's supposed to be
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They hook you with one touch, and you can't break free
Yeah the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me
Their hell on wheels and tight blue jeans
A summer night down by the lake
An old memory that you can't change
Their hard to find yea there's so many of 'em
The way you hate that you already love 'em
But I guess that's the way it's supposed to be
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They hook you with one touch and you can't break free
Yeah the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me
The way they ride in the middle of your truck
The way they give you a kiss at the front door
Leave you wishing you could have gone up
And just as you walk away you hear that sweet voice say... "Stay"
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
Their the perfect drug and I can't break free
Yeah the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me
At the end of the song, Alex begins to laugh.
"Ok kids, go to school. Katniss and Prim will be here when you get back." Jerry pushes his two girls out the door before Alex could complain.
The door closes and Theresa and Jerry begin to make their breakfast along with Prim's and Katniss'.
