| District 12. | Panem. | Before the 74th Hunger Games |

{Living in District 12 wasn't easy. With district 12 being the poorest in all of Panem, food used to be a bit scarce for certain areas of the district, and also... The Reaping day was not a good day for anyone. But despite this, your worries were different at the time.

Even though there were scarier things, you couldn't help but be scared by thunderstorms. The rain was nice, of course, but... The problems it caused, the thunder and lightning... That wasn't so nice. The sound of thunder rumbling around the house made you wake up in the middle of the night, still before dawn. Your older sister noticed this, and she sat up, approaching you.}

"—Hey there, sweetie..."

Katniss moved closer to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder. She gave you a small, warm smile, as she tried to speak quietly, so as not to wake Primrose too. And while Prim slept, hugging her cat, Buttercup, Katniss held you close to her.

"—It's alright, it's alright... It's just a storm. Nothing more. It'll pass quickly. C'mere."

She said, pulling you closer and gently stroking your hair.
