A/N soo i hope you're not bored yet. Did you expect Haymitch to have a daugther? No? I didn't either. I don't really know how i came up with it since i had a whole page written and then I just deleted everything to write that one haha. Oh well here we go :)
Flashback: Haymitch
'Damn. God Damn, I have a daughter!' there was no other thought in my head than that. 'I have a child.' And the woman I had a child with...was taken away by the peace keepers. They had killed her. And it was my fault. All my fault. I looked at the little girl in the cradle and grabbed the bottle of wine on the shelf. I wasn't able to take care of a child. I took a sip. And another. No way. I couldn't see my daughter being reaped. And I know snow would somehow manage to get her name being drawn. Then it struck me. There was one thing i could do. I have been to the capitol every year. I am the only mentor in district 12. No one knew about the child. I knew people there. Maybe they would...Evangeline would...maybe she'd be safe there.
I looked at the little girl. „nymeria" I whispered. That was the name Maysilee wanted her daughter to named. She had told him before she died. Everyone he loved was taken away by the capitol. And this girl would end up in the arena he knew it. There was a slight chance. The reaping waas tomorrow. He'd be on is way to the capitol tomorrow night. He could maybe safe her...He took another sip of the wine. He would safe her.
Nymeria:
It was good to actually see my dad not hiding it. I hadn't known until three years ago. My mother had told me that I was adoped then and for once it had actually made sense to me that I was diffrent then the other kids my age. That i was not overdressed and quirly all the time and that the games were not the greatest attraction for me. My mom and Haymitch had been friends and therfor i knew him my whole life. My mother visited with him every year when he came to the capitol and he would spent time with me aswell. I never thought that he'd be my father. But it made sense. And I loved him.
I left my fathers house short before the train left. At the station I found Cinna. He was talking to Flavius and Octavia. I walked up to join my friends. When he saw me approaching, Cinna gave me a smile. He knew where I had been. He knew everything about me. After my mom had told me the whole story I had something like a breakdown. And after a lot of hesitation i told him everything. And he didn't judge me. No he supported me.
„Hey there." he put his arm around me and I leaned against his shoulder. „oh my god!" Flavius exclaimed. „Where. Have. You. Been?! I was like looking for you e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e!" he put emphasis on every single letter. „I almost thought you's have gotten lost in this district." he winked. I laughed. Flavuis had been my friend for years and i loved him. He was a typical capitol person but at the same time he was all diffrent. „I was just walking around, exploring the district." I actually just wanted to talk to Cinna wherfor I was hoping that Flavius would get distracted by something else soon. „Darling, don't get mad at me but you could almost blend in here. I am not trying to be offensive here honey but really," He looked at Cinna „you tell her! I mean really hun, you are the girlfriend of the most famous stylist in the Capitol! You have to stand out some more." I smiled. How many times had i heard this? „I know." I grinned. „I'll have a serious conversation with her, I promise Flav!" he laughed a little. „good! If you'd excuse me now, this" he pointed at his face „is not happening itself." I laughed as he entered the train. „Sometimes i still wonder if he's gay..."Cinna grinned. „jeeze." I laughed and he kissed me. „we are leaving in about 15 minutes. Wanna go for a walk?" „yes!"
As we walked down the little way that was leading to the train station I could feel his eyes resting on me. „Nym, are you alright?" he asked. „ya of course.." I replied, not reallly knowing if that was the truth. „how was it? You hadn't really seen him in a while right?" „we've never actually talked about it, you know...and now. It was good. And seeing district 12...i mean." I paused."Cinna this is where I should have grown up. I should have lived here and my name should have been in the reaping bowl and...and" I broke up. I felt bad. Maybe a mother would still have her daughter if would have been here. What i would have been reaped? And not one of the girls that were dead now? „nym." he put his arms around me. I didn't realize that i was crying. „I feel guilty." I whispered against his chest. „Don't. What for, huh?" He asked. „what for?! My name would have been in te reaping bowl! My name could have been drawn and another girl might still be alive. I've lived a safe live while people here are starving every day. And..." I couldn't go on. „nym. Stop talking like that. You can't change anything about it. And you don't know if your name would have ever been drawn ok?" „yes." „just try to see the bright side. Your mom always raised you alone and now you have a dad. And you love him right? And i assume he loves you too. Cause no one could not love you. Got it? Hey!" Cinna looked me in the eyes. „Nym you always make me see the good side in things. So now do the same. For me ok?" „ok.." i mumbled. I feelt sick. „CINNA, NYMERIA! We're leaving! Come on! We will be late otherwise!" effies bright pink hair appeared at the train platform. She was waiving hysterically. Typical Effie. „come on. And don't worrie that much, ok?" he kissed me on the forhead, then took my hand and dragged me to the train.
