It was hard for me to be standing there. It looks so different, but under the new road, buildings and a memorial, sits so many memories. This is the place where for 75 years, children found out there fate. Where two victims where sent to fight for their lives, and eventually 71 of them where lost. This was the place where Prim's name was first called, where I volunteered, where Peeta volunteered. I try to avoid this part of town, but for Peeta has sent me here. Today however it seems almost empty. As I look around I see a door from one of the buddings begin to open. Out walks a blonde haired women with tight ringlets. She has on a bright pink knee length dress and a pair of white flats. I stared at her because she is holding a white note card so I know she is part of the scavenger hunt, but I can't seem to recognize her face. It seems familiar yet so different. She is extremely stunning that it surprises me I can't seem to put a name to the face.
As she stepped closer it hit me. This was Effie; the real Effie. She was not wearing a corset, wig, extreme makeup or any of the usual Effie attire. She looks so much younger. I could feel my mouth drop open as this clicks in my mind. As she came face to face with me and placed her hand on my chin and gently closed my mouth. "Manners" she reminds me. Yes, defiantly Effie. I hugged her as she embraced me against her body. I have received so many hugs today and I still do not even know why. However I have came to realize asking would not get me very far, so I chose to embrace each surprise Peeta had waiting for me.
Over her shoulder I watched as another door opened. Out walked Haymitch, with a rare smile on his face. When he reached us he placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a bouquet of orange flowers. We stand there together, the old team minus Peeta. However the orange flowers adds as his presence. Today we are all smiling but we have stood hear many times before under very different circumstances.
Effie begins to hand me yet another note card. "I know it's hard sometimes, but these memories have shaped us. I'm not far now. Take Dally, Gale, Annie, Finn, Effie and Haymitch and you'll find me in that place surrounded by the rest of our loved ones. Love Always, Peeta." I looked at the group I am standing before, they all had a vibrant smile on their faces, they grabbed my hands and we sprinted for the garden.
We are not far from the end now guys! I am actually kind of sad that the end is near. However I am thinking of doing Katniss' pregnancy journal so let me know what you think! :D THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!
