*** *** ***

Katniss POV

"Katniss?" My mothers sweet voice traveled from above me. She was probable wondering why I was packing her clothes.

"Oh, sorry. You don't mind do you?" I didn't want her any madder at me than she already was.

" uh, no. But, I might be needing them" I could tell she was hiding something from me.

"But you have plenty of clothes. And you can buy more at the market." I was confused now. What did she want to tell me?

"But, I uhh... I don't think I'll have access to the market." She spoke with her head down. Too shy to look me in the eye. I still confused. Why couldn't she go to the market?

"I th- think Prim and me should uhh... Come with you?" She made it sound like a question. Why did she need to ask? Of course she could come!

I was so happy, I jumped up and hugged her tighter than I ever have. It hurt my injuries but I didn't care. At least I was going to spent the rest of my life with my mum and Prim.

I was so caught up in hugging my mum that I didn't realise someone was knocking on the door until my mother said, "I think I should get that before they break our door down."

I let go of my mother, allowing us both to breathe again, and walked with my mother to the door.

I opened it to find a young boy, about my age, with beautiful, pale skin and light brown hair, cut short in a neat way. He seemed familiar but I couldn't put my finger on where.

"Hello Mrs. Everdeen." His voice was one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. I remembered is voice too. Suddenly, memories of the bakery flooded through my mind.

"Peeta! It's nice to see you again!" Peeta! He was the boy from the bakery! I don't know why he was here but my mother apparently knew him well.

"Oh sorry, Peeta, this is Katniss. Katnis, Peeta." My mother introduced us to each other.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you Katniss." Peeta held out his hand for me to shake.

"And you, Peeta." I shook his hand lightly once before letting go. His had was so soft. I never wanted to let go, but I had to prepare for our leave so I needed him to go.

"Want do you want?" I knew I was being rude but I was in a rush.

"Katniss!" My mother hissed angrily. Peeta looked hurt and his smile was replaced with a frown. I didn't like his like that. I missed his wonderful smile.

I pulled my eyebrows together and said to him, "sorry. I didn't mean to be rude" I looked up at him with apologetic eyes, in hope that he would forgive me. I didn't need more enemies before I left.

"Uh it's ok." I could tell he was embarrassed. Why? "Mrs Everdeen, we need you at the bakery. There was a small fire and we need extra help from a professional. All the others are at the hospital." Peeta said in a stern voice now.

"Oh dear! I've just got to get my back and I'll be right over. Peeta, why don't you stay here with Katniss. You sound see any horrible injuries." Why did my mother suggest that! She knew I wanted to leave today! Hopefully Peeta will have seen how small and disgusting our house is and how rude I am and leave.

"Uhh... Ok. If that's okay with you Katniss?" No! I would not like you to stay! I am escaping district twelve today, I wanted to scream at him. But I couldn't.

"I'd love that" I said to him in my sweetest voice and with my most beautiful smile. Hopefully he doesn't think I'm lying.

My mother had her bag in hand, looking rushed. "I'll be back for dinner Katniss." And with that, she pushed passed Peeta and hurried to the bakery.
