Chapter 1: Innocence

"Hit it, hit the target...just do it..." I hear from behind me. It's not my trainer because she left about half an hour ago. Which means it's the only person I know that would dare say anything like that to me when I have a Knife in hand. "Can it Caden." I say over my shoulder not even bothering to look at him. "Oh come on, I'm just encouraging you to do your best." I hear the grin growing onto his face. I throw the knife, it hits the target perfectly. If it was a person they would be dead in an instant with a knife in their head. "Hey, you know I'm going to be king one day, because I am beast. I can't wait." He says making his way over to me. "Really well I've never seen a king or beast with quite so little hair." I laugh, reaching up to his head and messing up his hair. "Oh now you're going to get it!" The next thing I know I'm being lifted up over his shoulder and being tickled."Caden –stop –it –please-hahahaha" I say and in between laughs. "Nope you asked for it" He teases while continuing to tickle me. After about 5 minutes of him doing this my feet reach the ground. I finally get some air into my lungs, when I realize that we have been looking into each other's eyes for a while now, I break it off. "So..." I say reaching for another knife and not really knowing what to say. "I was thinking..." he starts as he puts his arm around me "Well that's the first." I joke. "Haha very funny Miss. Lynn" he says "but really I was thinking that maybe I will volunteer..." "WHAT! No your only 16" I scream as I pull out from under his arm. "Mianey offered it to me, told me I'm ready and she said that she thinks you will be ready next year." I launch the knife to the wall behind him making it whiz past his ear. "I'm going home." I state coldly. " Lynn-" he starts but I cut him off. "NO, DONT EVEN TRY.." I scream " Just let me explain" he starts again but I cut him off once again. "NO, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO GO INTO THE GAMES...IT MEANS YOU LOSE EVERY LAST DROP OF INNOCENCE THATS LEFT IN YOU, IT MEANS YOU ARE BASICALLY SAYING TO THE CAPITOL HERE IM DONE HAVING YOUTH AND BEING HAPPY!" "Lynn...what innocence are you talking about cause if its not having killed someone yet well news flash we have both already done it, you more than me even." He says all this so calmly trying to get me to do the same and he`s right I have killed many people before being Snow`s daughter and all. You see I lived with my father till I was 8 then I wanted to move to a district to train with other kids because it was my dream to be in the games when i was a kid and kinda is now but not for a few more years, that`s where I met Cayden. He walks over to me and wraps me into his huge arms, his heat radiating off of him and onto me...and I kinda like the way it feels, wait what am I saying no I don't it feels just like other hugs Lynn snap out of it. " I will never leave you if I wasn't certain I was coming back to you." He whispers into my ear. And then it happens something I haven't done in years so many that I have actually forgotten how it feels. I cry. "shh its okay, come on lets go to our place." He says. Our place is a huge tree really one of the only ones in district 2. When I don't move he just picks me up bridal style and carries me there.
