I walked into the kids bedroom and layed them each in there beds and tucked them in tight.

"Deep in the meadow,under the willow. A bed of grass, a soft green pillow. Lay down your head and close your eyes." I sang softly.

I looked down. They were asleep all ready. I finished the song anyways, just for memories.

I tip-toed out of the room and shut the door. Peeta was leaning against a wall.

"Are they asleep?" He asked

"Yeah. That meadow song...it puts them to sleep."

"Yeah..." Peeta said.

Peeta was no longer in his work clothes. He was now in his pajamas. A orange t-shirt and some black sweatpants.

"That shirt-" I said before getting cut off by Peeta.

"What about it!?" He said half joking and half serious.

"It reminds me of that day on the train when you told me your favorite color,orange. Sunset orange."

"Oh yeah the train...I try to forget those days ya know?"

"I used to but now I savor all the memories I have.." I replied

"Why?" Peeta asked surprised.

To be honest...I don't know why.

"Ok tell me about the wall." I said as we walked into the kitchen. I took a seat at our table.

"Would you like a piece of cake?" Peeta kindly asked.

"No Peeta I am serious,sit down we need to talk."

He sat down and folded his hands.

"Ok,ok. President Heavensbee...he is going to build a wall around all of Panem!"

"I know that...but why?"

"I don't know. Wouldn't it be too keep us from leaving?"

"Possibly or from something getting in..."

There was a long pause.

"Or both?" Peeta said a minute later.

"Well what are we going to do about this!"

"Well,now that I think about it what's so bad about a wall?"

"It takes away out freedom,Peeta! And,it's suspicious. Why do we need a wall? He's hiding something."

"Never should trust a game maker."

"That's it Peeta. He's a game maker. That's how he thinks so we have to think like a game maker."

"How do we do that?" Peeta asked confused.

"Just stay on the same page as me ok?"

"Ok...?" He said even more confused.

"I think he's hiding something from us."

"Ok so again,what do we do?"

"Ugh. Do I have to do all the thinking around here!?"

"Yes." Peeta said jokingly.

"Your lucky I have a plan. We have to get outside that fence...before it's actually there."

"Ahh..I see. One problem Katniss." Peeta said.

"What?"

"We have kids that need a place to stay and I don't think we are going to be able to do this our selves."

"2 words-Mom. Gale."
