The hunger games continued

chapter 11- the twist

mom and dad came home yesterday and they know everything, they know about the Hunger Games, they know about Haymitch and they know about President Snow's son, they are trying to stay calm, but both Sonny and I can see it's tearing them apart, I heard them talking in the kitchen last night, "it'll be rigged, you and I both know that" said mom, "well we don't know that, but there is a pretty good chance" said dad, "oh come on Peeta, don't try and pretend that everything is going to be fine, 'coz' it won't be, you know that better than anyone"

"shhhh, Katniss, we don't want to wake the girls, it'll be fine, c'mon, let's go to bed" he says, I hurried upstairs then because I didn't want them to know that I had been listening and had heard everything that they had said, Annie also came home early this morning, Annie Cresta is a family friend, but we call her our aunty, when I was little, I used to think she really was our aunty, Finn O'dair, is her son, he's only seven so she took him with her to the Capitol, his dad Finnick O'dair, died before he was born, technically, Annie's last name is O'dair too, but she finds it to painful to use is name, Finnick was killed in the rebellion by some Capitol Mutts, he was a victor like Annie, "Forest! do you want some breakfast?" calls my dad from the kitchen, "yes please" I call back, "well come on then!" I get out of bed and throw my dressing gown over my pyjamas, I run down the stairs and sit down, the smell of bacon and eggs hits my nose and my mouth instantly starts watering, I sit down at the empty spot and pile up my plate, "do you think you have enough food there bub?" asks dad, "ha ha" I say sarcastically, he smiles at me and I smile back, I love my parents, I am the luckiest person in the world, to some degree, when it comes to the Capitol, probably not, but in other areas I am. Suddenly the Anthem of Panem starts playing, the TV screen shows the symbol of Panem, then Afrony Snow apears on the screen, "Good morning citizens of Panem! today I have a very exciting announcement! As you all know, I am bringing back the Hunger Games, but you are probably wondering why I have taken over control of Panem, well sadly, President Paylor has Passed" there is an ohhhhh! from the Capitol crowd, "I know, I know, but now you have me!" they all cheer furiously as he throws his arms in the air, "ok settle now everyone, but that is not the big surprise, the big surprise, has to do with the Hunger Games" the crowd cheers even more ferociously, this is sick, "as we missed our last Quarter Quell, I have decided that we will do it this year!" the crowd cheers again, "so here is the big quarter Quell twist, instead of reaping any old children, we will reap-" no "the victors children!" I can't breath, "no! no! Peeta! what do we do? What do we do!" cries my mother, heysterically, she clutches us tightly as if she will never let us go, "I told you! I told you! but you didn't listen to me! you never LIsten to me!" she screams, "katniss-"

"don't you Katniss me!"

"so this is my fault now?!" he yells back, "this is not my fault! we are completely powerless, so don't try and blame me Katniss!" mom stairs at him for a bit then her lips starts to quiver, "I'm sorry I didn't  mean it" he says, coming over and wrapping his arms around me, then we all remember the TV, "now I am aware that not all districts have victors children, or victors! so those districts will reap all children, and no matter what age the victors children is, they will still be reaped, so my final word is, Happy Hunger games, and may the odds be ever in your favour."
