Im sitting on a beach of the huge ocean in district 4 watching rose and ayden play in the water. Im really glad that there so happy after eveything that theyve been threw. Its been over 9 long, peiceful months since the war ended and now everyones wounds are healed perfectly. Everyone is happy now. no more war, no more pain, and defenently no more fear from the capitol. were free now, everyone has been set free.
after the tradgic news about prim katniss lost it, she hasnt talked to anyone and ive been told shes lost her mind... im not aloud to see her cause she doesnt want visitors, all she wants is her baby sister. But i know if she would let me see her i can help her back to normal. But shes locked herself away... even haymitch cant go see her...
~flashback~
'prim was killed in the bombing at snows mansion...'
i feel my heart break into a million peices. prim cant be dead! shes so sweet and has only ever helped people! shes only 13... out of all the horrible people in the world why did it have to be the nices and most caring girl in all of panem!?
I look down at katniss and bite my lip. her eyes are completly empty and it looks as if shes gonna be sick. i hear her breath out a quiet 'no...' and then next think i know shes passed out and face plants into the hard marbel floor
"katniss!" i yell and fall to knees beside her, one of her burns on her forhead have reopened and is now bleeding badly. I gently lift her back into her weelchair and look at mrs. everdeen
"mrs. everdeen, whats wrong with her?!" i ask her, worried about katniss
i look into her eyes and see nothing, theres apselutly nothing in her eyes. shes empty, broken. i dont blame her tho, shes just lost her youngest daughter. i start to wonder if this is what she was like after mr. everdeen died. how she abondoned her children and shut the hole world out.
'what if katniss becomes like that?... i would loose her forever...' i think to myself
i relieze im not going to get any help from her so i start yelling for help. lots of doctors come running and take them both away and into rooms. i can tell there trying to get mrs. everdeen to talk and snap outta it, but i know shes not going to. shes gone, just like her daughters
i just hope they will come back to me soon, i couldnt have been more wrong. deep inside ik that they will never be back to normal. i just hope there kinda normal
~end of flash back~
I am forced outta my thoughts when a huge splash of water hits me. its so cold that a little sound a]of surprise leave my mouth. i look for the colprides and spot rose and ayden ggiggling, rose holding a bucket
"you where daydreaming again daddy!" she giggles
i smile at her and stand up
"ur both gonna get it!| i say running towards them, they both start screaming and laughing. running back into the cold water. as soon as i make contact with the cold water i retreat back to my warm sand. i have alot of respect for rose and her little white bikini, she has a cute ruffled bottom and cute bows on the top. she loves the color white. aydens wearing a little green pair of swimming trunks with monkeys all over them. they reminds me of the orange monkeys from the arena but he loved them and i couldnt say no to his adorrible little face
"whats the matter!? afraid of alittle water!?" rose yells at me, shes really far out now and i can tell she cant touch
"rose! get back here! i dont want you to end up drowning!" i yell out to her. i look for aydens little head but see nothing, thats when i really start to panic. i run into the water about to scream for him when i see him pop up outta the water
"how long was i under daddy!?" he yells at me with a hugegrin
"to long! no more going under! got it!?" i yell, walking up to him. the waters just passed my hip but because hes only 4 its almost over his head. i lift him outta the water and take him to a much sallower part of the water before putting him down
"ayden can you please stay in this area? no deeper than this ok bud?" i tell him
he bobs his head up and down smiling "ok daddy!" he says happy then continues to play in the water
i turn to rose who has now swam even farther out into the water
"ROSEALIEN MELLARK GET BACK HERE THIS INDTENT!" i yell out to her
she turns and looks at me, i can just see a smile on her face as she waves her arm high into the air
"ok ill be right back!" i hear her yell, i smile at myself on how well ive become a father in the past few months. Me and the kids live in our own house now here in district 4, we moved here after we were reliesed from the capitols hospital. i still get testing done for my hijacking but the doctor said i should be fine and back to normal in a couple more months.
just as im having a splashing fight with ayden i hear a loud scream come from behind me. i spin around fast just to see rose fall under the water
"ROSE!" i scream, diving towards her, i dive deep into the water and pull her up to the serface. i can tell by how tence she is thaat shes in alot of pain and i know that shes softly crying. as im draging her back to shore i spot a poltergeist jelly fish swimming by. i bite my lip and keep heading to shore
when i get onto shore i drag rose out and lay her onto the sand, i can see these little lines that look like burnes on her upper leg
"rose what happened!?" i ask, ayden sitting beside her with a worried look on his face
"i-i was swimming back when i felt something brush against my leg and then it just started burning really bad and it was to painful to move my leg anymore..." she tells me, tears running down cheeks
i kiss her forhead and pick her up gently, trying hard not to hurt her "im taking u to get some help for your leg" i tell her
"no! no hospitals please!* she pleads, she has a fear of hospitals since the mutt incident but i dont blame her
i shake my head "no rose im not going there. were going to mrs. jensions home" i tell her
mrs. jension is the nicest old lady. she has always checked the kids injuries for me, even the little minor ones. on the way there ayden makes us stop for ice cream and we all get our favoret kinds. i always get cookie dow and ayden cookies and cream. rose gets a soft chocolate cone and we head to mrs. js house. when we arive thereshe tells us that its just a bad poltergeist jelly fish that brushed her leg and she got stung. she cannt walk on it for a day or so, so when we get back home i tuck her into her bed and kiss her head. its pretty late out now and its already there bed time
"good nighs my beautiful rose" i tell her like i do every night
she smiles sleepy at me "good night daddy, i love you"
"i luv u to rose" i say before closing her door and letting her sleep, i walk to aydens room and almost trip on one of his toys
"ayden tomorrow ur cleaning up ur toys" i tell him. he gives me one of those looks like ive just ruined his hole life and i smile "into bed, its bed time" i tell him. he fights to stay up and i end u having to pick him up like every night and toss him into bed. he starts pouting so i start tickling him
"whats wrong grummpy pants?" i ask, smiling. hes lauging so hard his face is pitch read. after im done tickling im i throw his blankets onto him and kiss his forhead
"good night bud, i luv u" i say smiling
he smiles up at me "night daddy! i love you!" i leave his door open just a crack just like he likes it and head to my room but before i make it there theres a nock on the front door. i anwser it and find myself face to face with president coin herself
"peeta! im glad your here" she tells me "i was worried you wouldnt be home"
i smile kindly at her. the wars been over for so long i thought i wouldnt have to see her again "what brings you all the way from 13 coin?" i ask her
She walks in and starts looking at all of our pictures thats on the walls. i deside to hide the family picture of me and the kids together cause i know coin doesnt no about them, if she new she would prob be angry. if she new who there familys where... i dont wanna emadgion what she would do the them...
"ive come to tell you of a 'victors meeting' with the rest of the victors. i cant tell you what its for only that its important. all victors will be there" she tells me
the first thing that comes to my mind is that ill finally be able to see katniss again
"when is the meeting?" i ask her, she looks at me and smiles alightly
"tomorrow at noon, i look forward to seeing you there" she says
"im looking forward to see katniss again..." i say before thinking
She smiles but i can tell she still doesnt trust me, after all i have attacked katniss and nearly killed her... i dont blame her for not trusting me
"im sure you are, but just so you know there will be security there incase we need it" she says
i nod and smile at her "ok, thank you coin i will be there"
we give eachother our good byes and she leaves. i head to the kitchen and start to make a sandwich when i hear a big bang upstairs. i look at the roof but deside its one of the kids and shrug it off. just as im about to eat my sandwich i hear another bang and a huge smash and a loud shatter of something breaking into hundreds of pieces. i start to panicand end up droping my sandwich, i know wher those noises are coming from. aydens room
i run as fast as i can up the stares and down the maze of hallways to his room, our beach house isnt exactly small so theres lots of halls. when i see aydens door i instently know that theres something wrong. Like most 4 year olds, ayden is scared of the dark so he always makes me keep the door open a crack for the light to get in. everynight including tonight i have always kept it open a crack. but now his door is shut completly
i walk up slowly to the door and turn the nob gently. i can hear a quiet wisper inside and i know its not aydens or even roses. its a fully grown mans voice. i feel my heart raising like crazy as i open it up in a small crack. i peek inside and see ayden standing on the other side of the room against one of his ocean mirrials ive painted in his room. his face is full of fear and i can see something dripping off his cheek. 'blood, hes cheek is bleeding...' i think to myself.
i open the door alittle more and see a dark figure standing right infront of him with something in his hand. i squint and try to see it, i cant really see it but if u ask me it looks just like a gun... i burst into the room and put mysefl imbetween the intruder and ayden
"stay the hell away from him!" i yell at the person
i cant see his face but i can hear him perfectly. i hear the voice that i havnt heared in months and thought i would never hear it again. the voice of mine and katniss old mentor
"why? i can see my grandson if i want to" haymich defends stubornly, i then reliese that the 'gun' he is holding is a bottle of wine. tipical haymitch for yea
I glare at him then turn to ayden, checking the clear cut on his left cheek "what happened ayden?" i ask him
he looks at me with his beautiful brown eyes and hugs me tightly, tears falling down his face. i drop to my knees hugging him back tightly and i can feel his little body trembling
"whats wrong buddy?" i ask in a much softer voice, he sniffles and looks down
"g-grandpa..." he couldnt finish, but thats all the prof i need to make sure that today is the last day haymitch ever breaths.
i stand up and put ayden behind me protectivly, still glaring at haymitch
"peeta i-" he starts but i cut him off "YOU WHAT HYMITCH!? YOU HURT MY SON SO NOW IM GONNA HURT YOU!" i yell at him
by how pale his face is i know hes scared "peeta just let me explain what happen! this is is all just a big misunderstanding!" he yells back at me
"so, you hurting my son is a 'misunderstanding'?
he lets out a sigh "peeta just give me a chance to explain..."
im about to yell at him again when ayden grabs my hand and gently pulls on it, i look down at him
"whats wrong buddy?" i ask him, by now the bleeding in his cheek has slowed down and has almost stoped
"let him talk daddy..." he tells me, its sad when a 4 year old has to tell his 17 year old father to let there imagonary grandfather talk, but i only think that it happens to our strange little family, but i wouldnt have it any other way
i give him a nod and a small smile then look back at haymitch "ok, talk"
hey! sorry it took me so long to write! ive tried about 7 times now to finish this chapter and make it bigger, i even had a funny seen where rose and syden fight over who gets to kill grandpa but my stuped laptop keeps glitching and deletig everything! RAGE! D: so now im going to leave it like this ^.^ hope you like it!
