Primrose Everdeen

Chapter 5

I greet mum when I wake up.

We just chat about the usual thing. Then I get changed and walk along to Gales house. We all leave at nine. Today In the forest we practice our knife skills I'm pretty awful but I manage to kill one squirrel.

In gale's game bag togay we have a small turkey, two squirrels and a rabbit. It's not bad but I know he would do better with Katniss and a when I get home I see mum at the stove with a van of soup being heated. It's okay I guess, I mean none of our food is the same without Katniss's fresh game. But Gale gave me a squirrel today. The one I hit. Mum skins and guts it then stewing it in the soup. Mum looked excited to have some fresh game. I mean Peeta gets us meat at the butchers but it's not the same. We never talk about Katniss and she was so brave so kind. So I bring her up. "Katniss was a great person mum, I miss her why don't we talk about her?"

Mums eyes are getting duller, her eyes were so blue. Almost to blue. But now they are dull, almost icy. we sit in silence. The only noise I hear is the neighbour walking down the street.

"I don't really feel like talking about it. Im not ready to talk about her. "

She gives me a hug and then walks up the stairs. With each movement they squeak.

So here I sit. In my empty home all alone. It's cold too. I can't think about anything but Katniss so I walk upstairs and decide to sleep in her bed tonight. Once again I cry myself to sleep.

Peetas victory tour is today.
