Chapter 5: A Little Visit

~A Few Weeks~

The dwarfs and I all dance around and just sing, Johanna has finally warmed up to me and we're now friends, stepmother hasn't found out about me not being dead and I'm surprised Peeta hasn't been looking for me, I just had to think that when there's a knock at the door, no one ever comes to the house, I look through the window and gasp moving away, it's Peeta

"It's Peeta!" I whisper/yell

"Don't you want him to find you?" Bennie asks

"I can't go back to my old life" I whisper and there's another knock

"Go upstairs and hide" Cinna whispers and so I quickly go upstairs and that's when I hear talking

"Hello everyone. Have any of you seen a girl around here? She's beautiful and is an amazing woman" I hear Peetas voice

"No I'm sorry. We haven't" Cinna states and he sighs

"Please. I've been searching the woods all day till late at night. If she's here I want you to tell me" he begs, don't tell him guys, please don't, there's a big pause and then Cinna starts speaking again

"I'm sorry but we haven't seen her around here before" he admits completely lying

"Oh... okay well if you see her can you tell her to come to my palace and... that I love her" he says and I assume Cinna has nodded cause now Peeta has left and I come back downstairs

"He seemed nice. Why didn't you go with him?" Cinna asks and I shrug

"I just can't look at the eyes of my stepmother again" I admit sheepishly and they all look at each other

"I think it's time to train you" Cinna says

"Train me?" I question

"Make you tougher. So you're not scared anymore" Johanna explains

"What will you be training me?" I ask

"Fighting skills. Balancing skills. Focus" Cinna explains and I nod

"I never knew you guys knew how to fight and all that" I say

"Sweetheart. We've been out here for twenty years now. We have a lot of spare time" Haymich chuckles

"Training starts tomorrow" Johanna states and they go out to work and I'm left to cook while thinking... a lot.
