I'm snapped out of my thoughts by a loud call coming from down stairs, it sounds like my mom. I hear angry boots stomping up the stairs heading towards my room. My door is suddenly thrown open and my mother comes storming in. She flops down on the bed next to me and lets out an angry sigh.

"I can't believe that your father invited her here," she growled.

I knew she was referring to Ana. I let out an annoyed sigh as an agreement to her statement.

"I love your father and all," she turns to face me. "But that woman just gets on my nerves."

"I know," I say in agreement again.

She closes her eyes and some stray hairs from her braid fall into her face. I sit up, 'I should ask her about Shane… Now's a good as time as any.'

"Mom," I start.

"Yes Ebony?"

"Well, today while I was hunting I met this guy."

She opens her eyes. "What was his name?"

"I was getting to that, his name is Shane. He said that he moved here from District Two."

I see something flash across my moms' eyes. Hope? Maybe a hint of anger and regret?

"Shane said that his dads' first love, and best friend lives here, and that's the only reason that they decided to come back here."

My mom smiles and mutters a name I couldn't quite hear.

"What did you say mom?"

She laughs a little, "Nothing,"

"So who's Shane's dad?"

"No one important…" her eyes look distant as if she's remembering something and wants to say more, but I decide not to pursue the issue.

"Common let's go downstairs and face the evil demon together," I joke.

We both laugh and head down the stairs.

My dad is standing at the base of the stair case. "Well if it isn't my wonderful wife," –my mom rolls her eyes- "And my amazing daughter!"

"Hey dad, how was your day?" I ask.

"It was good, so far, how about yours?" he replies.

"It was good, until..." my voice trails off and I gesture over to where Ana sat with her back to us.

He shot me an 'I-know-she's-annoying-but-put-up-with-her-for-me' look. As a reply I just rolled my eyes. I glanced over at my mother. Her head was turned and she had a stubborn look that read, 'I'm not going to look at your father.'

"Katniss you're going to have to look at me eventually," he says as he walks over to her.

He embraces her in a hug and doesn't let her go. Then he lifts up her chin and kisses her. Her once sour face turned into a smile. I grinned at them, they were the perfect couple.

The sweet moment was ruined by Ana's screams.

"KATNISS, PEETA, EBBY! COME OVER HERE QUICK!" she screamed.

Heyy, I officially have started writing two other stories that I plan to be updating as much as this one.

One of them is Capitol Couture (Hunger Games)

The other one is Never Again: Limitless (Maximum Ride)

You should check them out and review them! :]

Keep reading, and reviewing! *heart*
