Chapter One

Disclaimer: If you ignored this part earlier in the intro I don't own The Hunger Games. Yet again like I said I am not Suzanne Collins. And just to say I watched The Hunger Games movie, and came up with Prim's middle name when Snow was talking to Seneca and then he said, 'Hope, is the only thing, stronger than fear.' You got that right President Snow! Oh and by the way, Prim was supposed to have brown hair. Sorry!

Stanly slowly raised his head. Why can't I see? Oh wait, there's a blindfold. His mouth was dry and his throat ached. His voice came out hoarse, "Where is my sister?" A long chuckle continued after that. "You ask for your sister without asking where you are? Why you are here? Why I kidnapped you?" Stanly started to laugh. "Thank you for stating the obvious!" A hard crack swapped the air as the person slapped his cheek.

"If you were smart boy, you would keep your mouth shut." The woman's voice was sharp. "Where is my sister?" Stanly yelled. "You will see her soon Stanly Mellark. Soon." Then the sound of stilettos clicking the ground told Stanly she had left.

….

The room was full of familiar faces, Delly, Annie, Haymitch, Plutarch, Effie, Johanna, Beetee, and Peeta. "What happened? Why is everyone here? I was in the bakery all day; I didn't even see the kids' come home." Katniss paused. "Where are Prim and Stanly?" Beetee sighed. "That's what we're all here for."

Peeta softly gripped Katniss's shoulders'. "You may want to sit down Katniss." he whispered. She sat down with a confused expression on her face. "Katniss, the kids' were reported kidnapped. They are, missing."

…...

Stanly's arms and legs ached. He had been standing with his arms tied behind his back for hours. The blindfold had been taken off and he realized where he was standing, one of the old mines that was lit by gas lamps. His blonde hair looked light brown in the lighting. He tried to do something to get the ropes off his wrists. It was to no use. The ropes would not break. He scuffed the ground with his black combat boots. The heavy weight of his jacket draped against his shoulder made him more tired than he needed to be.

How could this be? How did that person know my name? What have they done to my sister? The thought of his sister made him shudder. Whatever happened he had to get to her. Protect her no matter the cost. She's only five and I'm only nine. Nine. Stanly let out a low sounding sigh. The age made him small, and too weak to fight of any people to protect his little sister. It was a little awkward having to hold his own hands' for hours'. Wait, I could have let go at any time. Nice one Stanly. He let go and wrapped his hands' around the wooden pole he was tied to. He spun around to the front of the cavern and heard something. A spark of energy filled his gray-green eyes'. He had an idea.

…..

The truth struck Katniss like when Prim was called for the games."What do you mean missing?" Katniss yelled at Beetee. He looked shocked as she thrashed the words' so fast together it sounded combined. He stepped back looking into Katniss's wild eyes'. "Katniss I-I'm sorry but no one knows,-" Katniss stood up knocking over the chair behind her. "Knows what Beetee? Knows where the kids' are? I knew this was a bad idea. I-I should have never let them go to the park." Katniss was pacing around the room.

Katniss swiftly brushed passed Delly nearly hitting her. "Katniss they couldn't have gotten too far away. We'll find them soon." said Annie who earlier was mumbling numbly to herself in a corner. "But what if it was your son Annie? What would you do then?" Annie hung her head down low. "I would have done the same."

"Exactly." Katniss said leaving. Twisting done corridors of paintings of Mockingjays, beautiful pictures of flowers that she recognized as plants from her plant book, and finally she stopped in front of a painting of President Snow. "Even when you're dead you ruin everything." she muttered under her breath. She felt as if she wanted to tear the mural off the wall. But, decided instead to pull herself away. She found it less deranged like. Finally reaching the end of the grey building she sat down in the shade of a plum tree.

Not being able to clear her children out of her mind she reached her journal, filled with nightmares and dreams and experiences of her life. From the dream of all the people who died for her shoveled ash into her mouth, to the time she had the dream where she threw Nightlock berries at President Snow, and lastly in the end of the book a story about Prim, (her daughter.) She began to write again.

November Twenty Ninth

Today Prim and Stanly went missing. I will do anything to get them back. Anything to see them again. Anything to see Prim's two braids or Stanly's baseball cap that Peeta gave him. Anything to get her children back. Anything.

Katniss stopped writing. She randomly flipped through the pages and landed on a page that she would remember forever. A passage that Peeta wrote, the sweetest thing she had ever seen on written paper. A memory flipped through her head.

Peeta and I sat on a couch that was in my house. We were on a date. I was laughing at the joke Peeta had made about Nightlock. "Hey Katniss, can you please open your journal to the marked page for me? I have to check on the cupcakes." Peeta said getting up with a grin on his face. "Okay?" I said. Flipping to a page Peeta came back with two cupcakes. I reached for one but Peeta quickly said, "Katniss no, that one's mine." I nodded with a strange expression on my face. I began to read. Dear Katniss, I've had this huge crush on you since we were kids. You know how much I like you and I know you like me too. I will always be the boy with the bread and, you will always be the girl on fire. The beautiful Mockingjay that will never need to hide what you are. You are Katniss Everdeen, and I have a question for you. Confused I put the book down. "Peeta what does this-" I stopped talking as I looked down at Peeta. He was kneeling on his left knee holding out a cupcake. "Mean." I continued. Peeta took off the top of the cupcake. In it was a small ring, in the center was the same gold material as my Mockingjay pin. "Now do you understand why this was my cupcake? Katniss Everdeen, Mockingjay, the girl on fire, lover, tribute, friend, ally, just plain Katniss. Will you marry me?" Peeta said holding out the ring. "Well," I said as Peeta's face drained with the happiness in it. "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. Of course." I said flinging herself at Peeta hugging him. "I hate it when you trick me." Peeta said gasping. "I know you do." I said smiling.

Katniss put the book down with a smile. She pulled up the collar of her jacket as the cold November air licked the warmth away from her cheeks. Peeta came rushing out the door. Katniss's and his gaze locked on each other's. "Katniss are you okay?" he said. "I am," Katniss was now frowning. Peeta sat down next to Katniss. "You know that we will find them. Right Katniss?"

"I know that Peeta. Because whatever we do, we will find them. Together."

Hey I don't know you
