"Sorry to scare you. I'm surprised you showed up." this sounds like the Gale thing to say.

"well why would I want to miss a hunting day with my amazing hunting partner who I haven't seen in years?" I say smiling as I always do here in the woods.

"so I am welcome in district 12?" he asks.

Why would he ever ask such a stupid thing?

"of course you are! Why would you ever ask such a question?"

"Well you didn't seem to fond of me this morning when you slammed the door in my face. Oh and what died in there?" he says smiling but it actually hurt. Because Prim's cat was on the verge of dying. I know he doesn't know that but I will make it heard.

"Well a cat named Buttercup is about to!" I yell

"And he is the only thing that I have left of, of, left of Prim!". His face falls and looks very depressed. Good. I pick up my things that I dropped from yelling and leave. I guess there is no piece and quiet anywhere. I suddenly get this bad feeling. I left Peeta at home when he is having flashbacks! I reach in my pocket hoping to pull out the key but nothing comes back out. If he would find the key and unlock it, and then go a little crazy, he might actually kill himself. I push the very thought to the back of my mind. I do not want to worry about it anymore. Never. But it keeps on creeping in the back, making it's way to the front. "how would I ever survive without the boy with the bread?" I whisper. "what would I tell the kids?". I am now running. Thorns are attaching to my pants leaving marks. Berries are staining my clothes. I need to get to him. I make it back to the gate and am about to go under when I hear a buzz. I put my ear to the fence and it's not buzzing. Then I look behind me to see a bunch of tracker jackers chasing after me. I quickly crawl under the gate and run into the closest house to me. Which is convenient because it is actually Greasy Sae's. She had to move here because her house was completely demolished. The kids come to me right away.

"Mommy? Why are you out of breathe?" Margo asks.

"Uh Greasy Sae, are all the windows closed?"

"Yes! Why?" she looks worries now.

"Tracker Jackers." I say and then she knows that I was in danger.

"Mommy, what trackor jackor?" Trualer ask. Oh he is so darn cute. He reminds me of Peeta. Oh Peeta. I would use the phone but Greasy Sae doesn't have one.

"They are mean bees. They hurt and make you go crazy!" Margo tells him and then tells him to go play. She is very grown up for her age. She reminds me of me and yet at the same time, Prim.

"Mom, are you okay? You didn't get stung did you? I saw them sting you in you know, the games. What you did, when you went crazy scared me!" and then she ran off into the other room. I don't even know what I did. When I watched the replay in the Capitol, I closed my eyes and didn't listen. I hear the kids scream and then when I go into the room, I see a bunch of Tracker Jackers swarming around the room.
