Everything seemed sort of, well, fuzzy as though a haze of fog that blurred everything. I was in the woods just outside District 12. I was running, dodging the trees. I wasn't quiet sure what I was running from. "Raissa, Raissa!" I heard a familiar voice. It was my mother. She was somehow standing before me, blurry like everything else here. "Mom," I said with tears streaming down my face. She tucked a piece of hair behind my ear "Raissa" she said softly, she was also crying. Suddenly, a bomb went off from behind me, unlike everything else here, this was crystal clear. Another bomb went off even closer two the two of us. I began to panic. I hurriedly began to run. I then turned around just in time to see the bomb go off underneath my mother.
I woke up sitting in my bed screaming in horror, reliving my mother's death was horrid. I stopped screaming and burst into tears. I curled up into a ball, still crying.
Haymitch drunkenly stumbled into my room, this is probably why he wasn't drinking while I was around, he drank while I was asleep. "What's swrong Sssweeteat?" he slurred. "I-I had a bad dream" I said, trying to calm myself down, I hate it when people see me cry, it makes me feel weak. He stumbled over to my bed and sat down (almost missing the bed and falling to the floor). I was no longer curled up in a ball but now sitting, laughing at him almost falling off the bed. He was not as bad as I thought he would be. This place (so far) was not as bad as I thought it would. I just hope I don't continue to get these nightmares. I would probably go insane if they do, I'm not that strong, I'm just a girl.
"What wasss it?" he as, again slurring his 's' 's. "My mother, dieing" I said, I began to cry. "Shh, just go back to sleep." I eventually did.
I woke up the next morning with horribly puffy eyes. When I took one look at them, I shrieked, I look like a monster! No amount of make up could cover it, well, I could try, I guess. Today Joshua was going to introduce me to his friends (well, at least some of them).
After hours of putting on makeup, I looked okay. I ran down the stairs, hopefully not too late. "Where are you going?" asked Haymitch. "Out," I said, running out the door down to the town sqaure where I was going to meet them.
