“When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold. My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim’s warmth but finding only the rough canvas cover of the mattress. She must have had bad dreams and climbed in with our mother. Of course, she did.”

Katniss is wondering where Prim is. Katniss comes up with a theory that Prim had nightmares and went to sleep with their mother for comfort. Then, Katniss comes to the conclusion that her theory is exactly what happened.

You're reading Katniss's internal monologue, so that's what she's saying to herself. A similar thought process would be something like, "That conversation didn't go well... actually, it was terrible." Kind of like, confirming to yourself what you've figured out.

The word "must" can often imply uncertainty. When it's in an order, it seems definite (You must eat you vegetables). But when it's about an event, typically the person is guessing what happened based on the current circumstances.
"Where is the dog? He must have escaped the backyard..." In that situation, it could turn out that he just went to the garage, and hasn't escaped. But if you saw footage of him jumping the fence, then you would say, "Oh no, he escaped."
