ok so, sorry this chapter isn't one of my best... But I had to get in a lot of info. anyways sooo yeah... So Gale and Nita will probably be coming back either next chapter, or the one after that! OMG! I saw the divergent movie yesterday... Soooooooo good! they left out a whole bunch of my favorite fourtris moments though :( like when Tobias was drunk and he went up to tris and was like " you look good" omg that's like one of my favorite lines in the book! But it's ok because they had " be brave " over all the movie was pretty amazing, not catching fire amazing but pretty close. sooo yeah! Please review!
We get back to the victors village at about 11:45. Since we don't have enough time to actually do anything useful in the house, we just go straight to katniss's house. Tobias knocks on the door. After about thirty seconds, Peeta opens the door.
" hello, please Come in, katniss is just taking the cheese buns out of the oven for me." He starts to lead us to the kitchen, I can already smell the mouth watering scent of the buns.
" wow, smells good, did you really bake these?" Tobias says when we're in the kitchen.
"Yeah, my family used to run a bakery, so I do the cooking/baking" Peeta says.
" and I do the hunting, and cleaning " katniss finishes, while putting the buns on a plate.
" so... Are you two... Married?" Tobias asks raising an eyebrow.
" engaged, actually " katniss says happily.
" oh, congrats " I say.
" thank you " Peeta says looking at katniss.
"Anyways, so do you want to start ?" Katniss asks.
"Ummm... Yeah sure! Where should we sit? " I ask looking around.
" right here is good " Peeta says gesturing to the kitchen table. We sit and wait for someone to start.
" so let's start with a personal question, how did you guys meet " Tobias starts, which surprises me because he's not usually the one to start the conversation.
" ummm... To explain that we should probably explain the hunger games in better detail..." Peeta says. Soon they explain everything to us: the reaping, the train rides, their mentor Haymitch, and lastly president snow.
" he's dead now but, he still manages to get in to my nightmares " katniss says angrily.
" anyways, so katniss and I were both reaped, so we ended up spending a lot of time together. At first the whole " being in love thing " was just an act, but then it turned into something real " Peeta says happily.
" Peeta your making it sound so romantic! Which it was not! " katniss says through her giggles.
" sooo..." Tobias says, obviously feeling just as awkward as me.
" what about your family, katniss?" I regret asking the question as soon as it comes out. Katniss's happy expression fades and instead turns into one of sadness. Tobias moves closer to me, and puts his hand on mine. Katniss's mouth opens as if to say something,but no words come out. She tries again and this time succeeds.
" when I was eleven, my father died in a mine accident. It was so bad, that there wasn't even enough of him to bury. My mother then went into this deep depression and couldn't do much more that eat, drink and sleep. Suddenly I was in charge of our family. My father used to hunt, and then sell his game at this black market called the hob. He had taken me with him several times, but I had never gone alone. I started to hunt, and sell game. Soon I met Gale-"
" wait did you just say Gale? Like Gale Hawthorn? " Tobias asks.
" yes... How do you know him?" Katniss asks loolking abit confused.
" we met on the train here " I say, " don't worry about it" I say to Tobias and katniss at the same time. I give Tobias a reassuring squeeze, then look at katniss to continue.
" well Gale and I would hunt together, and slowly we became best friends. " katniss says the last part like it tastes bad.
" soo... What about other family?" I ask carefully.
" I had a sister named prim. She's dead now. She looked like you..." Suddenly katniss is lost in her own world, thinking of the past.
" ummm... You said you have a letter from my mom?" I ask, not sure if I'm ready to read it.
" yeah, it right over here, ummmmm... Just wait ill go get it" Peeta leaves, then comes back five minutes later with a envelope in his hand. When he hands me the envelope I take it and just stare, for about five minutes. My fingers start to tear open the sealed paper and I begin to read, the last words I will ever get from my mother.
