Peeta Mellark?
Charles couldn’t believe it!
He knew Peeta through Katniss.
They were friends since middle school and they would trade constantly, meat for bread.
He had a peculiar mutation; he was able to sense other people’s emotions but not change them.
Like Gale, Peeta can never stand a chance in the Games with that kind of gift.
But the families were more alike in another way.
~10 Years Ago~
Like the Everdeen family, the Mellark family was raised by their eldest sibling.
The Everdeen children’s parents were killed in an accident involving a deranged mutant and the Mellark children’s widowed mother died from the hands of a crazy Peacekeeper.
The children were about to be send to a foster home all over Panem, individually, but an estranged aunt came to the sudden rescue.
But she was a helpless drunk and the eldest Mellark child took charge.
It wasn’t Peeta but his brother Erik.
“Come up dear.” Peeta began walking down the narrow aisle when someone cried “Peeta!”
It was his human sister, Primrose Mellark.
Prim, like Katniss, began going hysterics.
She was about to get out of line when someone else jumped out of theirs, screaming with a clear voice “I volunteer!”
Charles couldn’t believe it.
It was Erik Mellark.
