Willow's POV

When I woke up the next day I went downstairs and saw both of my parents were gone. Mom probably went hunting and my dad was at the bakery. He always woke up early and went to the bakery. The permission slip sat on the kitchen counter. Rye was already awake and sitting at the table eating a bagel.

"Where is mom?" I asked looking at Rye. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to looking at his phone. Knowing my friends were coming over to pick me up, I grabbed a banana and a Granola bar and sat down next to Rye.

"Posy, Atala and Violetta are coming over to walk us to school. Can you be ready in 20 minutes?"

"Yeah, I just need to get my teeth brushed and change." Rye smiles at me. For being 8, he was self-efficient. Of course, when mom and dad were home, he went back to needing help.

"Okay I need to get ready. I will meet you down here in 20 minutes."

Vi Tal and Posy were always on time, so I quickly rushed to get at least some of my makeup on before they got here. I didn't know what to wear So I went with an oversized hoodie and a pair of jean shorts.

I heard a knock before the door flung opened. I went into my room and grabbed my backpack and went downstairs. Rye was already downstairs talking to Vi Tal and Posy.

"Alright you guys ready to go?"

Rye opened the door and was walking before I even got to the bottom of the stairs. Laughing we all followed him out the door. I caught up to him and wrapped my arm around his shoulder.

Luckily Victor village wasn't far from the school, so we got there, I went straight to my locker. I went to homeroom and sat next to Vi and Tal and Posy sat on the other side of Violetta. After Math English and Science almost made me fall asleep, I went to lunch.

"Are you guys ready for history today? I wonder what games we will watch first." Vi said.

"I don't know, I'm assuming either the games that was first and then we make it to the newest hunger games, or we do the newest and work backwards."

"I hope we start with the newest. I want to know who won the last hunger games ever" Terra a girl in our grade asked. I looked at her and nodded.

"I bet they aren't even from district 12. My parents told me that there were only a few people who won from district 12" Ripper added.

After lunch I went to Art and then it was time for history. I hated having history at the end of the day I wish it was earlier.

The teacher went around and collected all our permission slips, putting them on her desk and dismissing anyone who didn't have it signed.

"Okay so I think it would be a good idea to first talk about the 74th hunger games. It was the last regular hunger games and, produced two victors Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark."

I stop. My parents? My parents were in the hunger games. I look at my teacher hoping she would add something like people were named after them or something to make this okay, but she didn't.

"I thought there were only one victor per games." A student asked.

My teacher nodded. "Usually there were. This games the game maker made a rule if two people from the same district survived there could be two victors. However, they took it back."

"So how did Katniss and Peeta win?"

"We will watch the tapes and you will find out."

She pulled up the tapes and started to play. They say this is the interviews. So, everyone could get to know the tributes better. We first see the female tribute from district 1. Her name was Glimmer, and she wore a gold see through dress. She was very pretty. Next, we see the district 1 male who we find out is named Marvel. He was cracking jokes and trying to. After Marvel we see the district 2 girl Clove and she seems rude but also sweet at the same time. The next one was Cato, He was huge, he had a lot of muscles and seemed like he was confident he was going to win. The next one that stood out was the district 5 girl, who seemed very intelligent, and she was talking very fast. Then there was the district 11 girl, who was named Rue. She noted she was fast, and she was small. She seems young. Next is Thresh the district 11 boy, He was huge, he didn't really say much but he was very tall and had a lot of muscles. Then it was my mom. Katniss Everdeen. She seemed very nervous, but my favorite part is when she stood up and showed off her dress which I swear was on fire. When I was done being mad at her I'll have to ask her if it was. Then it was my dad's turn. To my shock my dad had two legs. Did he lose his leg during the games? Did he lose it after? I missed most of his interview, but I didn't miss the part where he admitted to having a crush on my mom.

The bell rang and I stood up quickly grabbing my things before anyone including my friends stopped to ask me questions. I went to my locker and grabbed by books before heading outside to meet with my brother. He was already waiting outside.

"Come on Rye we have to go" I told him. He was going to say something, but I grabbed him by the arm and started to walk. He yanked his arm away and started to rub it.

"Ow Willow that hurt" he told me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you Rye, I just- we need to get home I have some things I need to do." I lied quickly. There wasn't anything I needed to do. I just didn't want to answer any questions.

When we walked in the door to my surprise my dad was home. My dad was never home this early, he always is doing something at the bakery. He was sitting on the couch with my mom, their arms wrapped around each other. I look at my dad's prostatic leg and the questions pop back into my head.

"How was school?

"I'm going to my room." I say before turning on my heels and walking towards the stairs.

I hear Rye talking to them as I am heading up the stairs. I open my door and throw my backpack onto the ground. I pull out my phone and see I have 20 missed calls and 50 texts from Vi Tal and Posy.

I opened my phone and see the texts "Why didn't you tell us" "Your parents were in the hunger games?"

With that I shut my phone. And throw it across my bed. I hear a knock on the door and when I don't answer it, I hear the door open.

"Are you okay Willz?" I hear him ask. I shake my head and he sit on the bed next to me. Even though I am mad at him I'd rather it be him then my mom. He pulls me in, and I curl up against him.

"What's wrong?" He asks. I shake my head and he doesn't push it. We sit like this for a few minutes. I pull away and look up at him.

"Dad how did you lose your leg?" I ask Innocently.

He looks at me and then looks away. "I- I lost it in an accident." He told me not looking at me in the eyes. I nod and he kisses my forehead before leaving.

I take a deep breath, standing up and getting ready for bed knowing tomorrow was another day of learning about my parents' past.
