I stared into the darkness devouring my body. I was cold, really, really cold. I didn't know where I was... or what time was it… My lungs stung from breathing in the strange vapors around me.
''Hello?'' I cried, my voice hoarse from the chemicals. ''Is anybody there?'' I huddled into a ball, shivering. All I could tell was that the ground was actually dirt, and there was nothing else… except cold… hard… gravelly dirt. The faint sound of electricity was heard.
I slowly walked to the shining object up the hill. A horrid sound filled the air as an arrow sliced through the air millimeters from my face. The first reaction I created was a strained scream and I dropped to the ground. A shadow of a girl came out of the trees holding a bow and arrows. She came closer and closer, and closer. She bent down and stared me straight in the face.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I, I'm from Manep." I managed to get out. She stood up with wide eyes.
"Kitty!" Kat screamed throwing a knife at the stranger nearly hitting her, just like the arrow.
"Ha! You really need to work on your aim, eh?" An older boy appeared out of the trees just as the other person did. Kat bent down helping me off my feet.
"Who are you two?" Kat commanded.
"I am Katniss."
"And I am Gale."
