Chapter 5:Katniss

It was the next morning. I was laying in my bed next to Peeta looking out my window at the bright sun. It looked like a pretty nice day.

"Goodmorning Katniss. Peeta said with a yawn.

"Hey! You didn't have a nightmare last night. I think they are going away."

"Yeah I think so too. Anyways, last night you mentioned Gale. Katniss, you haven't talked to him in years. Do you even know where he is?"

"He's probably still where District 2 used to be."

"What if he's not there? And even if he is,why would he help us?" Peeta said.

I got up out of my bed and changed in to my clothes. I don't care what he sees. And I don't like sitting around in my pajamas.

Then I answered "Well district 2 is on the way out. Gale would help me...wouldn't he?"

"Katniss I don't know if he would. We don't want to base this off of 'I thinks' because what if he doesn't help us?"

"Well then we have to do it on our own."

"Katniss this is crazy."

"Get dressed Peeta."

I walked out of the room,through the living room,then through the kitchen,into a little hallway and finally into the kids room.

I quietly opened their door and peeked in. They where both awake.

"Mom!" The girl said happily.

"I'm hungry." Said the boy.

I replied "You do know you can come wake me and Dad up in the morning."

"Well I wanted to let you guys sleep." Said the girl

"That's sweet but next time,wake us up."

"Ok!" The boy yelled.

I walked into the kitchen. They both followed.

"Sit down at the table. What do you want for breakfast?"

"I want some oatmeal." Said the boy.

"Yuck! I want some of Daddy's bread!"

These kids are so lucky to have breakfast. I remember being the girls age and not even having any food for days.

I gave the girl a slice of Peeta's bread and spread some butter on it. Then gave the boy a tiny bowl of oatmeal. He's still little.

Then Peeta walked in dressed,not his bakery uniform though.

"Goodmorning!" He said happily.

I gave him a half smile.

"Kids me and Daddy have to.....take a business trip. We are going to bring you to Grandmas."

"But we don't want you to leave!" Said the girl worried.

She knows something is up.

"Yeah mommy daddy don't leave us!" The boy said.

"It's going to be...a couple weeks?" I said looking at Peeta.

He just shrugged.

"After you eat it's time to leave." I said.

I walked into their room and got 2 little suitcases. Not for me,for them. In the boys I packed a couple changes of clothes and a couple pairs of pajamas. Then on top,a pillow and his stuffed bear...he called him Snowy....only because the bear was white. He knows nothing about President Snow.

I shivered.

Time for the girls suitcase. Again,I packed some clothes and pajamas. On top of that I put her green pillow and her little stuffed cat.

Cat.Cat.Cat. Damn it,who will look after Buttercup? Ugh I suppose he will be fine home alone. I'll just leave food for him out to last him a while. Yeah...he will be fine. He will.

I took the suitcases to the kitchen.

"You guys done yet?" I asked.

I heard a "yup" from both of them. Peeta took their bowls and plates and put them in the sink.

"Let's go."

I took the girls hand and Peeta,the boys. We walked down the dirt road with the suitcases all the way down to Mom's house. She doesn't live that far away.

I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps and then the door opened.

"Katniss?" She said surprised.

"Yeah..um..Mom,I need you to look after them for a couple weeks."

"Why?" She said surprised.

"Business trip!" The boy said.

She looked at me. She knows that's not why. She said "ok" and waved the kids in. She walked out and shut the door.

Whispering she said "What's going on?"

"Well..." Peeta said.

"He found out that Heavensbee is building a wall around the borders of Panem and Peeta and I have to go stop him." I said.

"Katniss,I don't want you to get hurt."

"I went into the Hunger Games,the Quarter Quell and into a war. I think I will be fine. And if not,I guess it will just be my time."

Peeta was quiet.

Mom was quiet.

I grabbed Peeta's arm and walked away,fast, towrds out house.
