Chapter 4
My eyes fling open and I am about to scream. Because of the kids, I've learned not to. I feel Peeta sit up next to me."Bad dream?" he asks.
"Yeah, but I'm fine. Go back to sleep." I tell him.
"I love you, Kitty Cat." he groggily tells me.
"Mhmm." I mutter. I cuddle up next to him, and he wraps his arms around me. I drift off to sleep.
bring-ring! bring-ring! bring-ring! The phone rings. I sit up and it's still dark outside, and I go downstairs. Peeta beat me to it. "Yeah. This is him. Uh huh. Ok. I've got kids and a wife, you can't expect me to drop everything and get on a train! I don't care! Well, that might work. Fine! No more than 3 days! Ok, see you then." He hangs up the phone and stares at me,"Guess what family is going to the Capitol for two days?"
"What?! What do you mean we're going to the Capitol?!" I am practically screaming.
"Heavensbee. Paylor. The Games. Monday." He says in a staccato tone. Well, today's Wednesday and I have a feeling I know what Eve's going to be learning about. The Games.
*Eve's POV*
My mom tells us we are going to the Capitol and I don't think much of it. I do think much of school. Today we are learning about the Hunger Games."Ok kids! Today we are going to be talking about one of my favorite topics... The Hunger Games! The Hunger Games aren't happening anymore but they did for 75 years! The Games is where 24 tributes are taken, a male and a female from each district. We have a short presentation to show you, explaining more." says the teacher, Mrs. Dellwood. The video wasn't very interesting, but my heart almost comes up my throat when Mrs. Dellwood says the last thing of the Hunger Games we'll be talking about is something I've dreaded my whole life. She says we'll be talking about the Victors.
"Ok, so as you know there are only 7 living victors! There is 1 from District 2, one from District 3, one from District 4, one from District 7, and three from District 12. Enobaria *last name * is the victor from 2, and she had her teeth sharpened to fangs. Her partner in the Q.Q. was Brutus *last name*. Beetee *last name* is the victor from 3, and he is a genius. His partner in the Q.Q. was Wiress *last name*. Annie Cresta is the victor from 4, last year she married another victor, Finnick Odair, but sadly he died on the mission to kill President Coin. Annie did not fight in the Q.Q. and she is a mother of 3. Johanna Mason is from 7, and she can throw an axe like nobody's business. Brutus *last name* was her partner in the Q.Q.. Haymich Abernathy, from 12, won his games against 47 tributes, instead of 23. Now, to my favorite pair!" My stomach is in knots,"The star-crossed lovers from District 12... Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark! They won the 74th Games together, and they got married and had our very own Evelyn!" Everyone looks at me.
