KATNISS'S POV:
When I wake up Peeta is gone, I hate it when he leaves the bed when I'm still asleep because it reminds me of the morning when Prim was reaped and she went to sleep with our mother.
I get out of bed and walk downstairs where I find Peeta and Willow baking. I tiptoe towards Peeta and just as I'm about to hug him from behind both of them turn around and roar, I scream and jump about a metre back when I see their faces covered in butter and flour! Then, we all start laughing and I grab Willow around her middle and tip her upside down, she starts squealing so I put her down and wrap my arms around Peeta and we kiss.
"I love you,"I tell him with my lips still pressed against his.
"I love you too" he replies with a smile. I feel something tapping on my shoulder, and when I turn around I see Willow standing on a chair so she can reach my shoulder.
"We thought you'd like some cheese buns to make you feel better Mummy," she says and hands me a bun, I take it and take a big bite,
"Mmmmmmmmm delicious" I tell her and as I go to take another bite, someone knocks on the door so I place the bun on the table and go to answer it.
When I open the door I find myself face to face with a lady I have never seen before,
"Can I help you?" I ask her.
She answers, "yes you can, Katniss. I have something very important to tell you."
"Well, please come in," I say opening the door so she can get through "Can I offer you anything to eat or drink?"
"Oh, just a glass of water please," she answers "it was a long ride here from the Capitol!"
As I walk back to the kitchen I start to worry. Why is someone from the Capitol here,in my home?
"Of course you know who I am" I say to the Capitol lady,"But I---"
"Of course I do," she butts in "You're Katniss Everdeen, the girl who was on fire! I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of you and---"
I stop her by saying "Please I don't like to talk about my time as a tribute, but the only reason I even got that name was because of..."
I stop, not being able to bring myself to say his name, even after 10 years.
"Ah yes, Cinna, the most amazing stylist ever!" She says "In fact, he's the reason I'm here right now!"
"That's nice" I say " But I'd prefer it if we could keep the topic of conversation away from my past. Like why don't you tell me who you are?"
"Oh, right, sorry, I'm Claudia" she says "Claudia Snow."
Then, my legs completely fail me and I collapse on the floor because she has just said a name I thought I would never have to hear again.
