We exit the train to the applause of the crowd, it seems like everyone in District Twelve has come out to see us arrive. We step out into a crowded station with Peacekeepers struggling to hold back the cheering crowd, all around us are people, miners till in their work clothes covered in coal dust, rice merchant's in nice clean clothes and the poor wearing nothing but filthy rags, I knew District Twelve was poor but still the state some of these people are in surprises me. I am so struck by the crowd that when Katniss suddenly rushes towards the crowd I barely notice her gone, it is only when I go to hold her hand finding nothing but air that I realise she has left my side. I quickly spot her though, she ran right to her little sister Prim and hugs her while an older lady I'm guess is her mother hugs both girls. I slowly walk up to them not really wanting to interrupt their reunion and to be honest I am really move slowly because I am nervous about meeting Katniss's family, I always make a bad first impression on peoples family's and I have a long list of examples to prove my point. But they both seem nice and friendly, Katniss told me about them so I shouldn't be worried but I am.
"Lisa it's nice to meet you" The women I think is Katniss's mother says to me as I approach the hugging family.
"It's nice to meet you too" I reply with a small nod.
"I'm Katniss's mum Lucy" She says as she sticks her hand out to me, I take it and shake it. "It's nice to meet the girl who stole my daughter's heart" I don't know how to reply, Katniss just stands there silent looking slightly embarrassed while I just stand there trying to think of something to say.
"I'm Prim" Katniss's little sister introduces herself.
"Hi Prim Katniss hasn't has been telling me all about you" I reply as she hugs me.
"Knowing Katniss I bet she never shut up once she started talking about her darling little sister" A tall strong looking boy that looks a lot like Katniss with the same black hair, grey eyes and olive skin, he and Katniss must be related somehow. "I'm Gale Katniss's cousin"
"Hi" I say freeing one of my hands from the hug to shake his large strong hand. "Katniss never mentioned she has a cousin"
"Yeah she's like that" Gale replies with a light laugh. "She starts to talk about her family only to never get past Prim, it's just the way she has always been and I'm not her only cousin, I have two younger brothers that are a pain in the ass and a little sister"
"Is there any other family members she hasn't mentioned?" I ask as Prim lets go of me.
"Nope we're it" Gale answers as Katniss returns but this time she is with blond hair girl who looks about our age, she has bright blue eyes and her long blond hair is tired back with a pink ribbon. She is wearing worn white dress that suits her perfectly and looks to be from one of the wealthier family's in this District since she isn't skin and bones like the rest of the people I see.
"Lisa this is my best friend Madge Undersee" Katniss says introducing us. "Madge this is my girlfriend Lisa Littleton"
"It's nice to meet you" I say extending my hand for her to shake.
"Likewise" Madge replies taking my hand and shaking it. "It's nice to see Katniss this happy and smiling again" Madge tells me before leaning close to my ear and quietly adding. "She hasn't been this happy for a years and if you hurt her then you'll have m to deal with"
"Don't worry" I tell her just as quietly taken back by how much she values her friend's happiness and struggling to fight back this jealous feeling, she isn't in love with Katniss is she? I hope not. "I would never hurt her on purpose"
"Good" Madge says with a smile returning to her normal voice volume and acting like she hasn't just threatened me, to any on looker right now they might believe we are friend by looking at her big bright happy smile. "Now as much as I would like to get better acquainted with my best friends love I think you two need to move on with the show"
"I think you'll right" Katniss tells her as I look around noticing the bored looks on the reporters faces as they wait for us to move on. Katniss takes my hand and leads me to the Victor Village where more cameras are waiting and a tall man stood on top of a wooden stage is waiting for us, for some reason Madge quickly moves to his side as Katniss leads me to the step of the stage. I was wondering why Madge is on stage but as I step onto the stage Katniss seems to have read my mind, she quickly and quietly whisper's. "That's our District Mayor and Madge's father" So Katniss is best friends with the Mayors daughter, that's got to have its perks. "Behave he always expects people to be polite and well mannered"
"Got it" I nod back as we take to the stage and the Mayor steps forward to begin whatever it is we are about to do, I never watch past the Games since it's not required for every citizen to watch past the crowning of the Victor, I wish I have though so at least I would know what's happening.
"To our guests from the Capital and to our new resident Miss Littleton I welcome you to District Twelve and to the Victor Village which is finally getting new residents and not just one but two after this year's surprising games" The Mayor begins addressing the crowd. "Before it was just Haymitch living here but now it is my honour and privilege to hand over this key to his new neighbours" The Mayor signals Madge to hand him something and from her pocket she pulls two small golden keys that sparkle in the light. "It has been to long since our District has welcomed someone to our small Victor's Village but now we can" The Mayor turns to face Katniss and I. "Now Miss Everdeen" The Mayor hands the key to her. "Miss Littleton" The Mayor says placing a key in my hand. "I and the rest of the District welcome you to the Victor Village" The crowd cheers and cameras blind us with their flashes, once the crowd calms down the Mayor continues. "Today a new house will be occupied as Miss Littleton and Miss Everdeen move into together and begin there hopefully long happy life's together"
Again the crowd deafens us with their applause and the camera's blind up with their flashes but thankfully this time its short lived, after the cameras have taken their pictures the press start to leave followed by the crowd. The place empties until there is only Katniss's family left, my farther who is talking happily with Katniss's mother and sister, Johanna, Blight and Haymitch are talking amongst themselves and final I hear the Mayor tell Madge to be home in time for dinner so I take it Madge is going to stay a little while longer. As I finish looking around I turn back to Katniss and see her eyes looking at her mother and my father, I can see her face fighting over which emotion to show, happiness or worry. Happiness that our parents are getting along or worrying that they might fallout and make us break up, I can see why but my farther seems to know the danger we are in so I doubt he will do anything bad.
"Since everyone else is busy do you want me to show you where your new house is?" Madge asks us as her father walks away.
"Sure" Katniss replies as she tears her eyes away from our talking parents.
"Come on then it's this way" Madge tells us before she jumps off the back of the stage. Madge leads us down the street with is filled with the Districts biggest and nicest houses, we walk past house after house each one just as well kept as the last despite being vacant, that is until we reach one that is a complete mess. Garbage covers the front garden making it impossible to see the green grass below, the paint on the house is peeling off, windows are smashed or missing completely and there is just the strongest smell of alcohol I have ever smelled in my life coming from within. "That's Haymitch's house, unfortunately you two have to live next to his growing mess"
"It's still growing?" I ask in disbelief that a mess of that size could still be growing, that can't really be true can it?
"Yes" Madge answers with a nod. "Everyone who tried to clean it up gave up years ago as no matter how much they cleaned they couldn't make a dent in it"
"And Haymitch lives in that?"
"Again yes" Madge tells me rubbing the back of her head. "Somehow he lives in there"
"I think we should take a look inside" Katniss suggests already walking up to the front door with her key ready in her hand, Madge and I follow behind her and catch up to her just as she reaches the thick wooden front door.
Katniss has the door quickly unlocked and we hurry inside glad to be away from the mess and smell of Haymitch's house. Inside we find the house is nice and spacious with plenty of room for Katniss, myself and Katniss's family. To our left is a large living room with two sofa's facing a TV and a beautiful fireplace to keep the room warm in the winter, to the right is an office with bookshelf's filled with books lining the walls, a big thick oak desk with comfortable looking chairs fill the centre of the room and on the desk is already a pile of papers and a pot of pens. We walk to the back of the house and find a large kitchen which an oven and large refrigerator that looks like they are part of the kitchens cabinets and sides covering the room, it's just like my home back in District Seven so far only that house doesn't have Katniss in it by my side like this one does. There's a back door at the far side of the kitchen but also another door that leads down into the basement which is empty but has plenty of room and shelves for storage, once we finished looking around we head back to the front door and then up the lash stair case to the second floor and continue our exploration.
The second floor is just as spacious as the first's floor and we find six bedrooms each one with a large wardrobe and double bed, each room has a great view of the forest that surrounds District Twelve unfortunately two of the room also have a great view of the mess that is Haymitch's home, to make things worst whenever you open the windows to those rooms you nearly barf as the smell from the mess hits your nose nearly instantly. Each of the wardrobes is filled with clothes making the money my farther gave me to buy some unnecessary but I after looking at the clothes I think I will use it, all of the clothes in the wardrobe are from the Capital and in their… Unique style. I don't think I could wear these clothes unless I had too, they my fit me but I'll become a laughing stock and after years of mocking this style of clothing I know what everyone will be thinking and whispering when I pass by. We continue making our way through the house and next we find ourselves in the attic, this is the most cramped spot in the house with a low roof forcing us crouch, it's filled with dust and looks like no one has cleaned this space in years unlike the rest of the house which looks like it was only cleaned seconds before we entered. Not seeing anything up we move back down to the front door and I think I speak for all of us when I say we are thankful to be out of that attic.
"Well I like your new house" Madge says once we reach the front door. "It's nice and spacious"
"It's nice but it feels weird living somewhere so big" Katniss says looking around. "I lived in a tiny slum house and now in this massive mansion"
"Don't worry I'm sure you'll get used to it Sweetheart" We turn to see Haymitch walking through the door. "It's a hell of a lot better than the trees and caves you two were sleeping that's for sure"
"I'm surprised you know if you sleep in that dump every night" I mumble load enough for every to her, it makes Katniss and Madge smile, Katniss looks so cute when she smiles, unfortunately it makes Haymitch's frown.
"Hey Brainless if you want to clean it up your more than welcome" Haymitch replies not angry like I was expecting but in a voice that tells me people comment on his house all time and he's feed up, not to self don't speak about the mess because I'm sure Haymitch will snap if I continue to do so.
"Nope" I tell him shacking my head. "I don't think it would stay clean and tomorrow I'll be starting over"
"You're not as brainless as Johanna said you where it seems" Haymitch says with a smile. "It takes most people a week to learn that"
"So are the others coming?" Katniss asks trying to look past Haymitch and I think trying to change the subject, I can't really blame as taking about that trash pile next door known as Haymitch's house isn't real the nicest conversation.
"They will be here soon Sweetheart they are all just talking back at the stage" Haymitch answers as Katniss stops trying to peak around him. "But there is somethings you two need to know before they arrive" Haymitch tells us pointing to Katniss and myself. "Frist is that Snow isn't happy with you two, there was only meant to be one Victor and now here's worried what effect the two of you will have on the country. He saw that as an act of defiance against his regain and a threat to him, you two need to behave and do everything you can to convince the country that it was love not disobedience of his rule that drove your action"
"But it was love" I say as soon as he's finished but Haymitch still seems to think there's a problem judging by the look in his eyes.
"We all know that but the entire county doesn't, it's their actions that will affect your fate" Haymitch replies shaking his head. "Listen I talked the reporters into staying for a few more days and you will need to use the if you want to avoid Snow's wrath, just spend time tighter places where they can see you and hopefully the stories they write will stop anyone from doing anything foolish"
"So you want them to date and invite the reporters to watch right?" Madge asks as Katniss and I both stand there silently taking in the news, I knew we were in trouble but Haymitch is making me think we are in more trouble than we can possibly imagine. I just hope we can get out of it alive, I hate knowing that our fate is in the hands of our fellow citizens from across the country.
"Let's what I said" Haymitch rudely tells her. "Now you two can't fight or argue in front of them or do anything illegal" Haymitch continues but mainly looking at Katniss as he says the word "Illegal" I never would have fought Katniss as the breaking the law type of girl. "That means no hunting or even setting foot in the woods until we are sure they are all gone Katniss, Lisa if you have an illegal habit that I don't know off then you to will need to stop it until they leave as well. Snow already hates you two so don't go giving him more to use against you, be on you best behaviour until I tell you to act like your normal self's understood"
"Understood" Katniss replies sounding like giving up hunting is really hurting her.
"Got it" I reply with a nod knowing that we are in great danger and the slightest mistake can get us both killed, we may have left the Arena but now I realise that the games we left are just the warm up to a more deadly game that we are about to play, a game where Snow has all the cards and we are at his mercy. I don't think much good luck will come to me and Katniss as the odds are clearly not in our favour, all I can hope is that Katniss will survive this at least and deep down I know I can achieve but I also know that one hope will most likely cost me my life. All I can do is play along and protect Katniss with my life, all I can do is fight for Katniss until the very end knowing that with such a loving family she can and will move on and live out the rest of her life in happiness free of danger. But for now I can only wait and give the reports something to write about and then wait, wait and dread for Snow's next move which will threaten both mine and Katniss's life's. But he will not win, I may die and will gladly die to save Katniss from him so he can try his best but somehow I will defy the odds and make sure Katniss lives even if I die before that happens. "I know what I have to do"
