It been weeks since I've seen Ethan, They've had him working so much lately and I've had TV promos to do and other things being Victor. We both have been so busy and haven't seen much of each other. I've got one week until I'm back off to the Capitol for this year's Hunger Games. Its Sunday morning, everyone who can is working in the orchards, I plan to go up to the orchards to see Ethan at lunch and that's when I hear the bell. There's only ever one reason they ring the bell! Some ones hurt most properly attacked by Tracker Jackers, That's how my parents died, they were one of the first few out that day and they were sent that far out that no one hear them scream when they were attacked, When they were found they were long gone and I was left parentless, luckily I was over 16 so I was able to live alone without being sent to a community home and then I got picked to enter the hunger games. After the second ring of that damn bell, I'm out of the house sprinting through the streets towards the orchards, I'm not the only one running towards them, anyone who can has to help get rid of the Tracker Jacker so they don't hurt anyone else. I find the group of people surrounding the dead fast, and I push my way to the middle to make sure it's not Ethan that's been hurt. When I get there I see same scene of the time my parents died two swollen bodies covered in stings and the child of the couple on their knees crying. And that not any child its Ethan. I slowly make my way towards him and I sit by his side putting my arm around him. He looks up in my eyes with the same pained expression I gave him last year. He throws himself into my arms, taking one of my hands in his, and carries on crying. While I hold him, the people around us organise a large group to go Tracker Jacker hunting. Soon only a few people are left and they have the job to move the bodies. And my job to comfort and move Ethan. "Ethan, come on you have to move." I explains softly. I feel his head nod and slowly we both stand, and I lead him to the dining hall where we eat our lunch.

I Lead him over to the first table and set of chairs by the door and I make him sit, as Martha the cook hurry's over to give him a warm drink to help with the shock, and to stay with us, He takes the cup in one hand, but with his other keeps tight hold of my hand, keeping me close. I need to find out what happened but I know Ethan needs me. He's coping better that I did, at this point I was kicking and screaming, until I just broke down into Ethan's arms. He is just quite, sobbing silently, occasionally taking a sip of his drink. And that's when the Mayor walks in, followed by a few officials and they walk over to the peacekeeper watching over the hall. He explains what happened to Ethan's parents and then they discuss what happens to Ethan. Knowing what could happen to him, I let go of his hand, and walk over the group of adults, Ethan doesn't notice he just carries on crying. As I approach the group I hear the tallest official say "There's always the community home until he is of age to live by himself." I can't let that happen to him, they are horrible places to live. " Excuse me Mayor." I say politely so I can join the conversation. " Yes Miss Lewis." He sighs turning to me. " Ethan can stay with me, until he is of age to live by himself, I have plenty of room, and it would save a lot of paperwork I suspect."I explain strongly. They all look at each other pleased with my offer. "Umm, Yes that might be the best thing to do, But are you sure about this?" The Mayor asks. "Yes sir, I am properly the best person for Ethan to stay with, I know better than most what it is like to lose both parents to a Tracker Jacker attack, and he is my best friend." I explain knowing that I have won them over with bringing my parents death up. "Ok very well. You can take him back to his home and collect his things and then take him to your house, This peacekeeper will accompany you. You and Mr Williams are to come to the justice building tomorrow and we will sort everything else out then. Thank you Miss Lewis." He explains pointing to the Peacekeeper, then he dismisses me. I make my way back over to Ethan still in a trance. "Ethan. Come on your coming to live with me, after we have collected your things." I explain softly, as I slowly shake him to pull him back to real life. He looks up into my eyes and nods. I slowly pull him to his feet and I put one arm around his waist and I tow him out of the orchards towards his house.

The peacekeeper just follows us silently, watching me struggle. When we reach the front door of Ethan's house he's mind returns fully. "Amber what are we doing here?" He asks me panicking. "To collect your stuff, so you can move in with me." I explain kindly. " No I don't want to go in." He states almost in tears again. "Ok" I sigh. " can you stay here and watch him?" I ask turning to the peacekeeper, who nods in answer to my question. " Ok Ethan I'll be five minutes I promise, Just stay with this peacekeeper." I explain lowering him to sit on the step. "Ok Amber." he sighs. I quickly enter the house and I run into the kitchen and grab a few empty burlap bags then I run straight to Ethan's room. Its small with only enough room for his bed and a small set of drawers. I hurry over the set of drawers and empty every draw in to the burlap bags, I also place everything else that is in the room in the bags as well. When I'm done I make my way back to the front door and as I pass the fireplace I grab a photo frame with a photograph of Ethan with his family. When I get back to Ethan, I pass both bags to the peacekeeper so I can help Ethan up. It takes longer than usual to get back to mine from Ethan's, as he keeps stopping. When I reach my house, I open the door and I walk Ethan to the small sofa, and place him down, and turn back round to the peacekeeper. "Thank you." I smile as I take the bags back off him. "It's my job, People will be in touch about Ethan and the family." He explains as he walks out of the house. The rest of the day is hard, Ethan stays in the same place all day, staring into space, Lunch time is hard, trying to pull him back from space for long enough to eat, Spoon feeding him little mouth full's when I can. Friends pop round when they can to try and help but nothing works, He sits there ignoring the world. The company helps me more than Ethan, everyone is rallying around us, For Ethan losing his parents and me taking him in. In late afternoon, after most people have left there is a small knock at the door, I open the door to see Rue stood there. " Hey Rue." I sigh as I let her in. "Hey I brought you these." She smiles handing me a bunch of beautiful wildflowers. "Oh Rue you shouldn't have." I smile lifting the flowers to my nose and sniffing them. " How's Ethan?" She asks sadly. "Come see for yourself." I say pointing to the living room. When we enter the Room Ethan lifts his head naturally. "Hey Ethan." Rue sings as she walks over to him. "Hi." He croaks standing up to give Rue a hug. "I brought you this." She smiles pulling out a woven grass bracelet from her trouser pocket. "Oh thank you Rue." he smiles holding his arm out so she can tie on his wrist. Rue's brought Ethan back without even trying. She stays for the rest of the day, and even for dinner, I don't want her to leave, she's got Ethan talking and I'm worried if she leave that he will go back to the way he was. But eventually She has to go home. We both walk her to the door and say goodbye there.

When we walk back into the Living room, I constantly watch Ethan in case he starts staring into space again. "So where am I gunna sleep?" He asks slightly cheery. "Oh Well there's a choice of two bedrooms the large double room or the room the same size as mine." I explains softly. "Ok Can I have the same size room as you please?" He asks. "Of course you can. But why don't we sort of have a sleepover down here tonight?" I laugh. "Oh yeah that would be cool." He smiles. " Cool, I'll just go and get the spare blankets, and pillows." I explain as I walk out of the room to a small cupboard at the top of the stairs.
