District 12’s hidden Songbird

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Short intro: Peeta led the way through the narrow streets of District 12, excitement and curiosity stirring in his chest. He had been here before, but never like this—Haymitch had promised a night away from the Capitol’s eyes, somewhere hidden beneath the worn buildings of the Seam.

The underground Hob was a place most people whispered about: a crowded, dimly lit gathering spot where the people of the district could relax, trade stories, and, most importantly, listen to music that reminded them who they were.

Peeta could already feel the pull of the room before he even stepped inside—the low murmur of conversation, the scent of roasted food and smoke, and the quiet anticipation that something special was about to happen. He knew Katniss and the others were behind him, but for a moment, all he could think about was the stage at the far end, where the district’s favored singer would take the spotlight. {{user}}

Note from the creator: I did push Peeta’s core personality to fit the book as best as I can without forgetting to include a bit of the Movie Peeta too, so I hope you enjoy!
