     It has been a few months since Katniss, my older sister has returned from the Hunger Games. I really didn’t know what to expect. I certainly didn’t fexpect what came. Every night, I can barely sleep knowing that my sister, in the very next room, almost died. It doesn’t help either when I can hear Katniss screaming from the terrible memories. I lye awake, crying. Thinking. “She did all of this for ME.” ME. It’s my fault she has endure all this pain but when I run to tell my mother, she sighs and smiles. She holds me and says, “ Katniss did this out of her own will. There was no possible reason that you caused this. They picked your name but katniss loved you too much to even think of you stepping into that arena.”

I always wonder if Katniss is angry with me. Upset, annoyed,disgusted. I can’t tell why I think this. But this is my life. The life of Primrose Everdeen. I am 13 years old and now live in victors village with my sister Katniss Everdeen. I help my mother with her medical patients. I really want to become a nurse. Right now i am single but I will never feel alone around here we are not know for the girl who hunts,the sister who has a goat, or the wife of a dead mine worker. We are know as the family who has a daughter volunteer for her sister. You would think that hearing all of these things are good? You are known for something amazing,generous,and kind. WRONG! It reminds Katniss every day of what she witnessed in the arena. It reminds me that I scared my sister for life. It reminds my mother that her family is broken. But we have to deal with it everyday and it hurts us all .....

        The other day we got a guest at the house that made my heart drop and made my lungs feel like rubber. President Snow marched in with guards. Katniss, as usual was hunting at this time of day. Snow was straight forward,“Where’s Katniss?” No good morning, hello, how do you do. Me and my mother were forced to lie. Citizens of our town are prohibited to cross the gate separating us from the woods. Of course, Katniss being Katniss always disobey the rules and leaves anyway. We had told him that she went on a walk with Gale. My mother looked like she was about to throw up. Snow could sense it but was not sure what was wrong. Snow decided to stay and wait for Katniss to arrive. He forced himself into my mothers study and asked for some tea and cookies. An hour passed and Katniss had arrived. Not knowing of what Was was in the room next to us she says “ Mom? Prim? I just came back from ....” before we cut her off. I told my sister “we have a guest” with the most fake smile ever. Katniss seemed confused. But as soon as the door of the study opened, Katniss looked like she was going to faint on the spot. “ President snow, good morning. What a surprise.” Katniss spoke with an uneasy voice. Snow replied with “ Yes, good morning. I have come all the way here to chat with you.” Katniss’s face went pale. She walked towards snow into that room. As soon as that door shut, it seemed that that door would never open again.

        My heat is still pounding from our “Visitor”. Ever since that day, the whole house is dark,silent,and it feels hollow. Katniss had told us that president snow had told her that because of what happened in the arena, small groups of people in the districts took as a pre-planned sign of rebellion. He made it very clear that if people were no convinced of what happened in the arena was for Peeta, because she could not live without him, the will be a rebellion and it will all be on her. HOW CAN HE PUT THAT TYPE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN HER HANDS. ESPECIALLY SINCE HER AND PEETA DON'T EVEN DATE OR LOVE EACH OTHER. Ever since the games, since Katniss told peeta all the kissing was just to help them stay alive, they have barely shared eye contact. Katniss is supposed to convince the people of Panem that she and Peeta almost killed themselves out of love on the Victory Tour. The Victory Tour is a tradition in Panem. Every year, a few months after the games, the tribute, in this case, the tributes are sent to every district 12-the Capitol to pay respects,say thank you for watching the games,and thank you to anyone that sponsored them. I know that the next two weeks are going to be terrible. Katniss has to go to district 12 and pay respects to Rue’s family. A mother and three sisters.I know that Katniss is going to re-live everything the next 2 weeks vividly. And I know I will two.

          I HATE PRESIDENT SNOW! I HATE HATE HATE HATE HIM. Let me take you back to 30 minutes ago. Katniss has been home for three day and today was the day we find out the twist for the Quarter Quell. Every 25 years of the hunger games, there is a special twist on the arena and or how the tributes are picked. Last time we had a Quarter Quell, the tributes were multiplied so we had 48 tributes instead of 24. This year was Peeta’s first year on mentoring. We were in the middle of the ceremony and then it fell silent. These were president snows exact words, “ Welcome, welcome. Welcome to the begging of the 75th annual Hunger Games. Today is an honor for the cities of panem. For this is the beginning of the Quarter Quell.” Everyone started cheering. I cant stand the people on Panem!! “Silence. Please. Silence. Now this years Hunger Games twist.” Now you could hear Buttercup (my cat) in the other room breathing. “ This year, the 75th hunger games tributes will be picked from ................................ the pool of living victors in every district.” I was shocked! I felt like everything was in slow motion. I looked around. I couldn't even hear  anything. I wasn't even sure if the capitol was creaming or was shocked. I could see my mother sitting down looking as pale as an onion. I could see Katniss screaming,crying, running out the door. We could here Haymitch in the next house screaming and throwing things at the T.V. I sat there not knowing what to do, think,say................ All I know is Katniss is going to dye, alongside Peeta, and I am the reason why she is practically dead....... I can never forget this.
