"Wait!" I almost yell, but I'm too late he's already gone.
My head starts spinning again. How did he know my name? Who was he? How did he know me? Do I know him? Why does he look so familiar? Multiple questions filled my head. Finally fed up with being confused I decided to head back home. Jumping down from the tree gracefully I land on something. I reach down to the ground and feel under my foot. What I find is a knife. I place it gently back on the ground and put all of my weapons back in their place. Then I grab the knife, placed it in one of my belt loops, and begin to head back to the fence. As I walk I think, and before I knew it I reached the fence. As I made it back to the house I suddenly remembered that I had the knife in my belt loop. Quickly I hid it in my jacket.
I only had to knock on the door once before it was flung open by my dad. He quickly embraced me then pulled me inside and shut the door.
"Ebony, where were you?" he asks me.
"I'm sorry, I was in the woods…" I sighed.
Suddenly my mom emerges from someplace and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Peeta, the news is a lot to take in," she said blandly. "If she needed some time alone you should let her be."
The one thought that ran through my mind at that moment is, my mom truly gets me! She's exactly like me! Not only do I look almost exactly like her, but she gets the way I think too!
"But Katniss, what if she got hurt?" my father asks.
"But she didn't get hurt, she's 14 she's old enough to handle herself," my mom said firmly.
"I know she can! But she's still young!" my dad protests.
My mom walks over to my dad and puts her arms around him. "Peeta, she's fine, and she's tired. Let her go to her room,"
"I love you mom. I love you dad," I say as I begin to walk up the stairs.
My mom and dad both blow me a kiss as I ascend up the stairs. Eventually I reach my room. I walk in and immediately lay down on the bed. Pulling out the knife I feel too tired to investigate it so I place it on my shelf next to my drawing book. I then walk back over to my bed, collapse onto my pillow, and shut my eyes and instantaneously fall asleep.
