(Katniss's POV)

When I wake I am met with a note in the place where my husband should be. I pick it up and start reading:

Dear Katniss,

I'm sorry I couldn't stay till you were awake to say goodbye but I am very worried about Annie. I have arranged for Effie or Haymitch to help out if things get too out of hand, but I'd bet my life on you being completely fine. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but know longer than a week so don't worry.

P.S. Don't burn the house down making mac-n-cheese

Love, Peeta

What comes out of mouth is an odd mixture of a chuckle and a sigh. I've only been without him for barely a minute and I already miss him. I walk across the hall to May's room to wake her up. My jaw drops to the ground when I come across an empty bed. I race to Brogan's room.

"Brogan, Brogan! Wake up I can't find May!"

We race across the house looking for May, and by now I am hysterical. Vision clouded with tears, I exile myself to the bathroom.

I sit on the cold tile floor, shaking, rocking back and forth, trying so desperately to calm down. She's gone. I can't find her. Peeta's not here. I need him. I need Peeta. I slowly pick myself off the the bathroom floor. I run, looking like I'm drunk, to the phone. After one ring Peeta answers, huh.., he always has time for me. "Hey Katniss, are you okay?" My accidental sob lets him know immediately that I am not okay. "Katniss what's wrong?" It's so easy to hear the concern in his voice.

"I-I, I cant-" Each time I try to start a sentance it gets cut of by an uncontrollable sob, the type that racks your whole body.

"Katniss?!" I take a long deep breath.

"Kat-" I cut him off.

"Peeta I can't find Ma-" Before I finish my word, the door swings open so hard it hits the wall sending a framed picture smashing to the ground. May shrinks in horror at the broken glass on the ground, and she looks at me and blushes fiercely, reminding me of myself at her age.

"Katniss?!" Peeta's voice through the phone reminds me that he's on the line.

"Oh Peeta, never mind I'm fine." I say, now able to control my breathing again.

"Are you sure?" His voice still filled with concern and worry.

"Yeah, oh and how is Annie?" I ask remembering why he isn't here in the first place.

He hesitates for a second or two before he answers, "Oh, um, Annie has been having some flashbacks, and Finn doesn't know what to do, you know she called him in a panic and he had to come back from 2 during his training to become a soldier, it scares me how much he is like Finnick.." his voice trails off and I know he is on the verge of tears, just as I am. I think about Finnick all the time, how he saved me and Finnick from those lizard-mutts. Poor Annie, I don't know how I would survive if Peeta had died while I was pregnant, but Annie is so much stronger than me. I am pulled out of my thoughts when I hear the sound of a women crying.

"Sorry Katniss, I have to go, love you." He says his concern now focused on Annie.

"Love you too, bye."

"Bye." I put the phone on the hook, and look to May, but she is no longer there. Confused I call out to her.

"I'm up here." An answer so quiet, that only a trained hunter like me would be able to pick up. I go upstairs and knock on the door. No answer. I knock again. No answer. After everything I went through today looking for her, the least she could do is answer the door. Annoyed I open the door slowly, wondering why my actions aren't being protested by May. I get me answer when I see the wind blowing through the open window, and a "rope" made out of sheets tied together. All of my worry used up for the day, I am left just aggravated. Her closet is a mess, with clothes and boxes she barely even uses anymore it looks like she was digging in the back of her closet for what she was looking for. Curiosity takes over and I find myself going through her things I say I will never go through. In a few short minutes I find a worn out diary that she must have forgotten about once she had gotten older. I flip through page after page about how first grade is so hard and how is so mean for giving them homework over Christmas break. That is mean...what a bitch. All to late I come to my senses and realize what I am doing. I already know who she liked in the 3rd grade, what she got on a 5th grade math exam, and how great her 11th birthday was. I sigh, and then my eyes widen.

What am I doing?! I know for a fact that May climbed out her window using bed sheets and here I am sitting on m ass doing nothing about it. I break into a cold sweat and decide to call Johanna. I need someone I can talk to who isn't already busy helping some one else.

"Hey brainless." Johanna greets me in her usual snarky way, but her voice instantly brings a smile to my face.

"Johanna, I need to talk, May she learned.." I here my voice crack, and I know Johanna did too. "She learned about some of it, and I think she can't decide if she hates us or not." I chuckle even though my voice is now shaking a little. I hear Johanna's soothing voice through the phone.

"Okay, calm down Katniss. It's okay, you're gonna be fine. All the kids went through this, Finn, Althea, and now May." It's hard to do, but I think back to when Finn learned, he was oddly calm, but I get the feeling he already knew. Althea, Johanna's girl is only two years older than May, and May looks up to Althea. They spend all their time during the holidays ,when everyone gets together, they spend all their time with each other. When Althea found out, it was a whole different story. Being raised by The Johanna Mason didn't help much. She lashed out and yelled for being lied to, but eventually she understood her reasoning. Johanna's a single mom at the time. Her boyfriend walked out on her when he found out she was pregnant, so she raised Althea herself. But with May I don't know what to expect. But right now her lashing out might be better than the cold dead stares she's been giving me.

"Johanna I don't know what to do, She's barely spoken a word to me. Please Johanna! I don't know what to do! Peeta's with Annie, I-I'm all alone!" I sob. It takes a while but I eventually compose myself, I hear Johanna sniff and I get the feeling I may have made her tear up too.

"Look Katniss I'm coming to 12." I am sure I misheard her,

"What?"

"Ugh! Seriously Katniss maybe your age is finally catching up to you, I said I am coming to 12." A sound comes out of my mouth that sounds like a mix between a laugh and a sob.

"Oh Johanna, thank you so much!" I realize I am shaking but I brush it off.

"Yeah yeah okay, later brainless!

"Bye."
