Chapter 1
The fall
The hot summer sun felt good beating down on my face as I watched the clouds slowly roll across the sky as I sat upon a boulder beside the cliff edge waiting for Gale to come. I waited a few minutes before I heard a rustling in the bushes. I glanced up at them expecting Gale to burst through but I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be a deer, thick, meaty and strong with giant antlers, definitely one of the more threatening deer, the kind that will ram you. I grinned and slowly picked up my bow and arrow making as little noise as possible. The deer looked at me as I rest my hand upon it and I froze.
"It's ok, calm down." I said soothingly as I raised my bow slowly. Quietly I readied an arrow as it stared at me. It stomped its foot once threatening me. "Don't worry." I told it calmly. "I will make this quick." I let loose the arrow and it skimmed the side of the deer the arrow flew past baying itself into a nearby tree. Blood splattered from the wound and the deer jumped up onto its hind legs in pain and began blindly running at me.
I jumped to my feet and tried to jump down from the boulder but wasn't fast enough and the deer rammed into it barely missing my feet with its humongous antlers causing the entire rock to shake. I stumbled and before I could catch my balance he rammed it again his giant form causing the earth to tremble and made me lose my balance. I spun and saw myself looking down over the cliff edge. I stumbled and fell, grabbing onto a ledge not far from the top but too far to climb up. My bow slung over my shoulder. I risked a glance down and swallowed that would be quite a reach. Above me I heard the deer give a final whimper before collapsing dead. It's carcass falling past me resulting in a dust cloud at the bottom of the cliff. I gave a sigh of relief and began trying to think of a way out of my predicament. Suddenly I head the bushes rustle again and heard footsteps.
"Katniss," Gale called searching for me.
"I am over here!" I called out. He looked down at me and momentarily a look of shock crossed his face, before being replaced with a smirk.
"What are you doing down there?" he joked.
"Ha ha very funny now help me up." he reached down and took my hand and began pulling suddenly there was a sudden sound of sliding rocks Gale's face lit with terror and shock as the land beneath him gave way and we both began to plummet down. He was still holding my hand and the fall pushed us together as we hit the side and began rolling towards the bottom I landed on top of him saving me a lot of pain. He grimaced and then forced a smile as he looked at me.
"Are you ok?" he asked. I nodded still shocked then I noticed how I was on top of him and began to scramble to my feet. I helped him up and we looked around. "Well, we can't climb back the way we came." He said looking at the steep cliff, "Looks like we will have to take the long way around the mountain."
"But that could take days." I whined.
"Then I guess we better get moving." I thought about Prim and my mother at home alone with no one to put food on the table. They could live a day or two on milk and cheese from Prim's goat, Lady, but how long would that last?
I made my way over to the deer examining it. It would be hard to take with us but it would be a shame to let so much good meat go to waste. Gale whistled.
"That's one big deer." He said. "Think there is any way to take it with us?" I shook my head sadly. "Well at least let's take the antlers they will catch a good price at the Seam." I nodded in agreement. Gale took out his hunting knife and began expertly cutting around the antlers. In the Seam antlers were a rare treat. They could be cut and shaped into beautiful ear rings, necklaces, and tools. For a moment I imagined having an antler necklace but only girls like Madge with her father the mayor could afford something like that. A few moments later Gale slid the antlers into his bag and we began walking around the large mountain.
