Hey! Second update in the same day! :D So for this one I was planning on doing a POV from one of Johanna's kids just to introduce some of the other characters and the typical day as a Hawthorne. There is also a line from a movie, I just want to see if anyone can figure out the movie. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own the quote or part of the movie or The Hunger Games. At all.
Videl Hawthorne POV
I stick the sword right into the man's abdoman.
Boom. Dead.
The second one comes behind me. I duck and he goes flying over me. I walk up to him. He is squirming like a little girl.
"Please! Have mercy!" He begs. I give a roar of a laugh.
"Mercy? I don't even know the meaning!" I yell in victory as I crush his windpipe with my foot.
"Videl! How can we ever repay you!" The shopkeeper asks.
I laugh and say, "There is no charge for awesomeness, or attractiveness." I say laughing to myself. I crack myself up.
"Videl! Hurry! Please wake up!" I hear someone scream.
"Get up Videl!" The voice says again.
I scream and jump up to collide heads with someone else. I open my eyes to see my nine year old sister, Christina, rubbing her head. She is in a simple nightgown and her black hair waves in her face.
"That hurt Videl!" She yells. She buries herself into me and starts crying. I hate little siblings, always so, touchy, but I feel bad.
"I'm sorry, Christy, I didn't mean to. You scared the sh-, uh, you scared me. What are you yelling for?" I ask her trying to calm her down at the same time.
"It's, uh, momma. I d-don't know w-where s-she is." She stutters still crying profusely.
"What do you mean you don't know where mom is?" I say pulling her away to see her face. It is pathetic; red with tears coming from her eyes. " She was just here last night right?"
"Yes, but she isn't here today." She says. "I can't find dadda either."
She starts crying even more and I pull her into me. It's pitiful, but I hate seeing her like this.
"Alright, lets go down stairs and see who is actually still here." I say trying to reassure her. My family is usually always home in the morning, especially when we aren't in school. I go down stairs and see that no one besides Chistina and I are awake.
I have no idea what is going on and personaly, I don't want to find out.
"Do you know if anyone else is gone?" I ask her, but she just shrugs.
"Alright come on."
We go back upstair. To the right is where my parents would be if they were home. To the left is where the rest of our bedrooms are. Lisa's would be the first if she still lived here. Next is my room to the hall and Holly, my twin's room, to the left. Next is my brother Chasyn's room then Florence. After that is Blight's room to the right, and Christina's to the left.
I look into Holly's room to find her drooling on her pillow. She is laying on her stomach and Christina and I can't help but to giggle a little. I put my finger over my mouth to tell Christina to be quiet. We sneak to the side of her bed; me on the right, Christina on the left.
I count on my fingers.
Three.
Two.
One and we both jump on Holly as she punches me in the face. I laugh anyways.
"Gotcha." I say to her and jump off the bed before she decides to punch me again.
"If it weren't for Christina being her," She starts to say, "I would beat your ass to the ground." She whispers to make sure Christina didn't hear.
"Sure you would." I say in a sarcastic tone and roll my eyes.
My face straightens and she sees that I'm not messing around anymore.
"What is it V?" She asks me. I hate that nickname, but I don't have time to argue with her.
"Mom isn't here, or dad." I say in a calm voice.
"Are the others away?" She asks me. She opens the curtians over her window and I can see her better now.
She has black shorts on with an extremely small tanktop on. Her long light brown hair is in a mess bun. She is tall, but shorter than me. We are twins, but not identical, I forgot what the word is for what we are.
I see my oldest little brother run in with only his boxers on. He is 15 but has already surpassed me in height. He has our father's dark eyes and hair.
"What is going on in here?" He says holding himself up by the door frame.
"They can't find mom or dad." Holly says. "Do you know where they are?"
"No, but dad said he was taking me hunting today and if he doesn't I'm gonna be pissed." He says selfishly. Little brat.
"Whos cares?" I mumble.
"I do, so shut up Videl." He says to me and I glare at him. He quickly looks away because he knows he can't win this fight.
"You all should go wake Blight and Florence. I'll go look for mom and dad." I say to them.
I hurry to my room and get changed out of my nightwear into something more suitable for going out.
I wear shorts that barely cover a fourth of my thigh with a long sleeved shirt. It's summer, but it's a bit chilly in the morings in District 2.
I hurry down stairs to see that my other two brothers, Blight and Florence have gotten up.
Blight has very dark brown hair that sticks upwards with light brown eyes. He is tall for his age, but kind of chubby. Florence has the same brown hair as I do and brown eyes. He is a good height for a welve year old yet he complains because most of us are taller than him.
"I'll be right back. Stay here, got it everyone?" not really asking, but command. They all shake their head while Holly goes into the kitchen probably to make breakfast.
I am almost out of our very huge front yard when I see my father stalking to the garage.
"Dad!" I yelling trying to get his attention. He seems to be mumbling to himself. He doesn't seem to happy.
"Do you know where the hell your mother went?" He asks me, but I shake my head.
"Damn it, she can't be doing this can she? But what did I expect?" My father groans.
He is a very tall man and muscular. My mother said when he was younger he was the hottest guy in the rebellion. I beg to differ. I could never think of my father like that and I don't plan on starting to. He has the same hair and eyes as Chasyn, but with some grey poking out from his hair and his eyes filled with heaviness.
"She didn't tell you she was leaving?" I ask him.
"No, well yes. I don't know. She was talking about something with your aunt." He says. My aunt is a very lovely person and she loves all of us, but she can be a little coo-coo at times. "I should of listened to Annie. She said she would do something like this."
"So do you have ANY idea where she is." I ask.
"Yes, I know exactly where your mother is. Do I want to go chasing her there? No. I never want to go there." He explains to me. I still haven't the slightest clue as to where she would have gone.
"Where did she go?"
He gives a sigh a looks at me. I can't believe I'm almost as tall as him.
"She went to go visit some friends." He says.
"Where is that?"
He looks uncomfortable answering this question, but finally does.
"You have read about it. I know your smart, just think about it for a minute." I give it a minute and still have no idea, but instead of asking him again I just look at him and nod. He sighs again.
"You still don't know where she went, do you?" He asks me.
"I never said that." I say giggling a little.
"You will find out later." He says.
"I remember now!" I yell and my father looks at me as though I'm crazy. "Fraternal! Holly and I are fraternal twins. Right?"
He looks at me and laughs. "Yes Videl, you two are fraternal twins. Am I going to have my hands full with you all."
"Oh dad don't say that. You have Grandma to help you out." I respond as I give him a huge smile.
"I know. Isn't your sister suppose to be coming here later today? I though I heard your mother talking about it yesterday." He asks me.
"Yeah she is! I'm so excited! I'm also excited for her wedding! Her and Finnick make the cutest couple ever!" I scream in excitment. Finnick is Aunt Annie's son. Her only one at that. He is handsome, I'd date him if Lisa wasn't already.
"Yeah,I remember his father." He gives a sigh as I watch him think of 'The Old Days'. "Anyways, lets go inside. Is everyone awake?"
"Yeah, Christy came in my room screaming. Then we woke up everyone else." I say looking toward him.
"Um, Videl? What is that?" He questions as he take my chin into his hand and swipes my new bruise with his thumb. I cringe as he does this which makes him stop. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Uh. Well, waking up Holly wasn't very subtle and she punched me, but I'm fine, really dad." I reassure him.
He finally lets go. "Alright."
We go inside to see everyone eating cereal. I think it is disgusting so I never eat that stuff.
When Christina sees dad she runs to him and he lifts her up. Cry baby.
"What's wrong Christy?" My father asks cooing her.
"I didn't know where you were, I was worried." She says sobbing. Again. I shake my head and head toward the kitchen to make my breakfast. I make a simple egg sandwich. I'm a good cook, but not as good as my mother.
After I'm done eating I remember what I was suppose to do today. Holden, my boyfriend of four years, is coming over today. We met at the Capitol's prestigous and award winning School For The Academically and Athletically Great, or, The School For Bitches And Douche Bags. I hate just about everyone in that school aside from Holden and my bestfriend Kassandra and some select others. I only go there so I can learn how to become the next president of Panem which makes no sense since my mom can just teach me, but no. She's too "busy" so teach me.
I also play just about every sport they have to offer there, and I excel at not just that, but my grades as well. I have Beetee to thank for that.
I lay down for a few hours since Holden will not be here until dinner. I drift in and out of consciousness.
I awake to the door bell. I look to the clock. 7 O'clock. Wow. I slept for awhile. I have been having problems sleeping at night and usually can't sleep for more than just three hours.
I realise I haven't gotten ready, but I really don't care. I run down stairs to see him and he is there. Holden Connors aka, Mr. Hottie. I run into his arms and he catches me. I hug him as tight as I can because it has been a few weeks since I have seen him.
He is an actor and usually leaves for weeks, which seems like forever to me.
I look at him a kiss him gently. "I missed you so much." I whisper.
"I missed you too Videl." He kisses me again and I start feeling my heart racing just like it did four years ago, but nothing lasts forever because my dad is behind me and clears his throat loudly. Florence and Holly start laughing and I shoot a glare at them and they both look away and stop laughing.
"Hello Mr. Hawthorne." Holden says to my father as they shake hands. My dad likes Holden to an extent. When I'm out until midnight or later is when they start having problems.
"Hello Holden." My father responds to him. "Dinner is really."
"Did you make it?" I ask him. He gives me a strange look.
"Yes I did." He says and we all start laughing except Holden who is trying to hold it in. "With help from your Grandmother."
I hear a collective sigh from everyone in the room. I take Holden's hand and lead him to the dinning room. It is faitly big concidering how big of a family I have. We have about fifteen seats around the large table. My family and sometimes family friends would come visit us here. Our house in the Capitol has even more seats than this.
I see my grandma come from the kitchen with bowls and plates, and Holden asks to take them.
"Why thank you Holden." My grandma says. "Well Videl, how was you little nap?" Putting more emphasis on 'little' more than needed.
I give a small laugh. "It was good."
We all get seated and start to fill our plates. The dinner is nothing special, my mother's cooking would of been great to eat though with Holden being here and all.
When we are all finished my father makes sure to keep Holden and I in his sights. We don't do much more than kissing and embracing each other.
We talk about old memories and memories we want to make. e has told me he wants to marry me and have children. I tell him everytime that we will see. It's not like I don't want to marry him and not have children, it's just, I want to have a life before I go off having limits being pushed at me.
The way I see it, when you are married you can't stay out too later at the clubs. When you have children, you can't even go to the clubs! But children do sound good, just not anytime soon.
Ten o'clock comes by too soon and Holden has to go back to the Capitol. He came here just to be with me, even if it was just for three hours. How sweet.
It takes us about twenty minutes to say good-bye and Holly is getting very impatient because we are suppose to have 'Sisterly Time'. All we do is talk about our life, and her life isn't all that interesting to say the least.
Once Holden finally leaves, Holly is giving me a mischievious grin which means she has something up her sleeve. Which is always something stupid.
"Hey, V. Why don't we-" She starts to say before I cut her.
"Hey Holly. Why don't you shut up before I knock you out?"I am mean to her sometimes, but the result is hilarious when I am.
Holly starts turning as red as a tomato before leaving the room. Thank god.
I go downstairs to see my family playing a game. It is pretty basic, you put your hand into a fist and shake it three times while saying rock, paper, scissors. Then when you say that you either flatten you hand, meaing paper. Keeps it as a fist, which is rock, or hold out the number two which is scissors. Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors and scissors beat paper. Like I said. Simple.
It is childish but fun. I could play for hours and lose constantly but still love the game. I join in soon and am getting my ass handed to me by Florence. The little bitch.
After the game is over we all laugh because I'm very red from losing so much and Florence just baskes in the glory of beating me at something.
When we are done I realise that Lisa never came. She must of had something come, but still she could of at least called us. Whatever.
Everyone goes to bed, but I am restless from my nap earlier. I go outside and watch the starts. I can't see very many but enough to keep me occupied. I am about to get into our emensly large pool until I feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
So this may not be as detailed as I would of liked, but it is close. So hoped you like! Please review and see if you can guess what quote is in here! :)
