She sat at the table with her parents telling them all about the the twins. They laugh, and tell her it was just a dream. She looks up to them a little shock what could they mean just a dream. Then she said, "But it wasn't a dream I love the twins. I lived with them." They both laughed once more and then her father speaks,"Even if it wasn't a dream we wouldn't allow it." Katniss looked to her parents shock written all over her face. "W..what w..ww..why?" She stutter completely stunned. Her mother's humor left her face it turned serious, "Well, we raised you better then that. We are helping you with your dream to go to the university in america, and that is what you will do." She couldn't believe it. Surely all that couldn't have been a dream it had felt so...real. "But mom I love them! Surely you can at least be happy for me?" Her Father's face became hard as he growled out "Katniss that is enough of your foolishness! You will do as we say and forget this dream of these twins...you will be going to America like you originally planned. Do not defy us in this, for if you do i'll be forced to disown you as my daughter." Her father's words hit her harshly cutting her soul deep as her eyes welled up with tears. Unable to take it any longer she jumped up from the table causing her chair to topple backwards with a crash. She barely heard her mother's outraged exclamation as she ran out the door heading for the one place she knew she could always find comfort. The old barn loft.
She paused as she stepped into the barn the musty smell of sun warmed hay and leather filling her senses. She smiled softly as the smell brought back old childhood memories of her playing up in the loft with her toys or just relaxing an reading a book. She sighed than climbed up the old rickety ladder before she eventually settled herself against some fresh hay her eyes closing in contentment as she just let her emotions flow her heart breaking as she tried to make a choice that could very well destroy her. Who would stay in her life? Her twins? Or her Parents? She knew she didnt have long to decide for outside she could her a distant storm brewing.
*Time Lapse*
Katniss jolted upright her hair in disarray as straws of hay fell out at the sudden movement. Outside lightning flashed as thunder rattled the old frame of the barn. Cursing to herself quietly she stood making her way quickly to the ladder. A storm like this could very well knock down the barn. She jumped slightly as one of the doors slammed open due to a strong gust of wind. She took a deep breath before slowly making her way down the ladder cringing as it protested under all the strain. About halfway down she lost her footing as the rung she was on snapped with a spray of splinters. She grabbed on to the side of the ladder hoping to steady herself but it too finally gave out as the barn shook violently with the severity of the storm. She barely had time to cry out before she hit the ground her vision becoming hazy as she smacked her head against an old rusted wheelbarrow. She frowned as she tried to make sense of what she was now seeing...her vision almost seemed to be split in two. One half showed the shouting face of her father as he bent over her and the other showed her twins leaning over watching her with worried azure optics. Almost instinctively she reached out for her twins her vision fading completely to black as she did.
