      Later that night when I return home, I curl up at her feet and purr. Her toes are cold so I warm them. She reaches down to me and pats my head. "You're a good cat, Buttercup. I love you." She says. Now I know what my job is here. I am her warmer, her friend, her cat. I am Buttercup.

       

      -

       

      When I return home one afternoon, the Dark Haired Girl is not there. She does not come home that night, or the night after and My Girl cries herself to sleep every night. She holds me too tight but I know she needs to, so I let her. "I love you Buttercup," she says through the tears. "Don't ever leave me." Don't you worry My Girl; I'll be here. The next weeks are confusing to say the least. The Dark Haired Girl isn't here but I hear her voice coming from boxes. I yell for her to come out. My Girl needs her. I yowl at the top of my lungs until I realize it's hurting My Girl. "Buttercup shut up! I can't hear Katniss." Katniss, yes, that's the Dark Haired One. She's caught in the box, no wonder My Girl is crying.

       

      -

       

      My Girl worries it will confuse me to have a new home. Silly girl doesn't know she's my home, wherever she is, I am.

       

      -

       

      We stay behind the doors for a long time. I cannot see the sunset so I don't know for how long. The people are scared; they all sit quietly. The Dark haired Girl produces something I've never seen before, a spot that moves and dances across the floor. I chase it and people laugh. Cats don't like to be laughed at, but My Girl is smiling so I chase it some more. The people cheer when I spring up. This spot is infuriating. Just when I think I've got it, it shows up on top of my paw then dances away across the wall. I do my best but I cannot catch it. The people, My Girl included, feel better. My job is done. I return to her lap to take a nap.

      There is still fear in the air but we are all together, all except the boy. I don't know where he is. But the man comes from time to time. I watch the sunsets from my little window. The Dark Haired Girl has left again, this time saying goodbye to me. "Take care of Prim for me." She says. Silly Dark Haired Girl doesn't she know, that's what I do.

       

      -

       

      One day My Girl whispers in my ear. She says that she's going to join her sister. She wants to help people. "NO!" I yowl, "Don't go." "Be a good cat." She says. "I love you, Buttercup. When I come back we'll go home and we'll all be together." Silly girl, don't you know, you are my home. Don't go Girl. I am determined to keep her in my sights so she can't leave. But I fall asleep on her feet and when I wake she's gone.

       

      -

       

      Many sunsets come and go and still the Dark Haired Girl sits staring. She's thin and cold so I sit on her lap to warm her. At first she doesn't acknowledge me but after a few sunsets her hand finds its way to my fur. She pets me and I purr. I sleep every night at her side. I hunt and bring her offerings, hoping she will eat. The Man and a good smelling woman, try to get her to eat but, she refuses their offerings as well. I'm starting to realize that maybe My Girl won't come back. It makes me sad but I have a job to do.

       

      -

       

      She gets stronger. One day she takes off into the woods. It worries me, so I follow. She's hunting. I always knew she was a hunter but I never saw her. Everyday I follow behind her, catching the mice she doesn't get and then I follow her home, tail high after a successful hunt. She's a good hunting partner.

       

      -

       

      "Be gentle, Buttercup." I stick my twitching nose out and sniff its head. It's the kitten! She's had the kitten! "This is Willow," The Dark Haired Girl says. Silly Girl doesn't she know, she's light, she's goodness, she's warmth, she's happiness. She' isn't Willow. She's sunshine, My Sunshine. I lick her sweet hair, yellow like the Boy's and like My Girl's, I remember. I curl up alongside My Sunshine and purr.

      I have a new job; I am the guardian of My Sunshine. I watch over her and the Dark Haired Girl as she nurses. I sleep near her bed in case she needs me during the night. We stare at each other and tell each other our secrets. "Cup!" She calls me when she learns to talk. She grows big and starts to move. She likes to chase me. I am patient. Once with a giggle My Sunshine grabs my tail and pulls hard. I am startled and I yowl, loudly. My Sunshine's smiles turn to a frown and she cries big tears of fear. I scared My Sunshine, I feel terrible. I made her cry. I hate cries. The Dark Haired One shoos me away and I feel bad. I go to the woods. I come back with the next sun. My Sunshine is happy to see me. I lay down beside her on the blankets. My Sunshine reaches for me and gently grabs my fur. Two of her fingers scratch me and the others hold tight. It is nice. She falls asleep and I purr. All is forgiven.

    Summary

    It's the morning of the Reaping for the 74th Annual Hunger Games and District Twelve is about to see which two of their children will become this year's tributes. This time, a different blonde girl gets reaped and another hunter from the Seam volunteers. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark remain in District Twelve, left to navigate the fallout of Reaping Day, and end up growing together far sooner than we remember. A reminder that all this (gestures) is Suzanne Collins' world and we're just living in it. Enjoy!

    Summary

    A Reaping of Ash and Steel
    An alternate Hunger Games novel

    District 12 has always known how to endure. Hunger, grief, silence—they wear them like second skin. But after the 71st Hunger Games ends in quiet tragedy and a new Reaping draws near, the fire beneath the ashes begins to stir.

    Katniss Everdeen is just trying to survive—hunting past the broken fence, keeping her sister fed, staying unnoticed by a Capitol that only values spectacle. But when a miner named Harlan Creed is reaped—and refuses to play by the Capitol’s rules—everything changes. His defiance is quiet, brutal, impossible to ignore.

    As alliances form and the arena turns into something more dangerous than the Capitol intended, Katniss, Gale, and Peeta watch from the ashes of a district they can no longer call home. Rebellion brews not with speeches, but with pickaxes, sabotage, and sacrifice.

    What begins as another year of slaughter becomes something else: a strike to the heart of the Games themselves. And when the Capitol responds with fire, the survivors of District 12 are forced into the wild with nothing left but each other, a rumor of District 13, and the growing certainty that this time, the fire won’t go out.
