Chapter 3: The cabin's memories

Katniss Pov (Please listen to the song)

Fighting my way through the deep water i reach the pathway and pull myself up. Before glancing down at my backpack. I take it off and sigh looking at it. I watch as water leeks out the bottom and half my clothes are wet fortunately though my satchel didn't getting wet, well not as much. Zipping it back up i pull it on my back and continue towards the forest.

Walking through the dozens of trees with fresh green leaves, i see a small cabin. My small cabin. Walking over i try to contain my excitement but am suddenly hit with fear. What if someone moved it. What about our personal treasures.

Cautiously i approach the cottage and notice the area's name carved into the old wood - District 12, the seam. It's run down like i remember and hidden amongst the trees. Placing my hand on the door handle i push it open and carefully walk inside. Instantly i'm hit with the smell of pinewood and fresh fruit mixed with a little bit of dust, but i can fix that. Looking around i smile it's just like i remember, not a thing out of place. I walk over to one of the windows coated in dust and wipe my hand against the glass removing some of it but effectively coating my hand in dust and dirt.

Turning around i look at the simple living room - if you could even call it that. It's got a small couch, table, medicine cabinet, fireplace and a ladder leading upstairs. I walk past the furniture and glance at the kitchen. It looks the same as when we left years ago, the table has small smudges of dried animal's blood that we couldn't remove and the room has some cutting equipment that we used to prepare food out of whatever i could forest.

I take each step of the staircase and hear the creaking of the old wooden floorboards. Once at the top i look left to see a small bathroom and then right to see two small bedrooms. First i enter my parents and take a deep breath as i look at the few of the belonging they had. My mother's personal treasures were 2 dresses (a light blue one and a green one) and a medicine book. Then my father.... i shake my head at the memories of being with him because i was a little daddy's girl. Glancing at his pillow i notice his beloved book of plants open to his latest entry about... her. I remember i used to sit on his lap and we would spend hours drawing new plants and writing about them. It was the best thing i ever did with him - well apart from hunting. It was a moment we wanted to freeze and live in forever.

Shaking my head i leave and go into the room i used to share with my sister. Opening the creaky door, i step in the room and glance our belongings. In the corner were two small beds but we normally shared when one of us would have a nightmare. On the left of the room beside a window is a broken mirror and desk filled with the few pieces of clothing we owned.

Then glancing above the doorway, i notice something i had never seen before. Clasping a shaky hand over my mouth i will back the fresh tears. There sitting above the door is a photo of me and my little sister when she was just 4 and learned how she got her name. I stare at the old photograph. I'm wearing my signature braid and have my small 8 year old arm wrapped around her shoulder and she is hugging my waist with an adorable yet bright smile. I can't even think of her name anymore seen as their's nothing that she really owned or left from her. It's as if she was just a distance memory. That only she could have because she was always happy and positive since a young age even if we went without gifts for years, she would always tell us how much she loved us and that she was so grateful for us. Then as i look below the photo, i break, collapsing to the ground and cry like i haven't since the day she left me.

There sits a small Katniss root and a Primrose....
