'May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour'-Panem
Chapter 1 : The Unexpected
I slowly open my eyes as my mother opens up the curtains for me . What a beautiful sunny , very sunny day . I smiled as I hear Mockingjays singing outside my windows .
'Good morning mum!' I scream as I jump on my bed . My mum turn around as she hears me with her beautiful smile . How I wish to have her beautiful face .
'Don't jump on your bed honey , your father spent 5 years of his salary just to buy that bed for you . Speaking of dad he can't bring you to hunt today , he said something about expolision in the mine' said my mum as she folds my clothes into the drawer .
'Weird , how can there be an explosion . I didn't hear anything ,' I didn't . Today suppose to be my hunt day in the woods after dozens of homeworks I did last night . It was suppose to be my gift for finishing all my homeworks and chores in time . My dad usually just say he doesn't want to go to the woods honestly or he just say that he have works to do in the mine . But I know he usually goes to the Hob to earn some coins . He never say anything like explosion or unless it really did happened . But I didn't hear anything .
'Don't worry honey , you can go to the woods next time .' said my mother . But the thing is that I can only go into the woods once a week . For me , it's like a year . And if it's rain , I can't go at all . Today is a very sunny day and my dad waste the chance .
'Maybe dad's just lying ,' I say badly .
'Go and take your shower and pick up your sister from school .' My sister Prim . I love her so much . I would kill anyone who hurt her . She is the world to me besides my parents . Back then I was so jealous because she has my mother's face . A very big , green eyes , a fair skin and soft , straight blonde hair . Mine is just a black eyes with a little dark skin and a brown , braided hair . But then I learned to accept what I have .
As I shower I heard people screaming around the street . I wonder what happened . As the screaming fades away I just ignore it back to shower myself .
'I'll pick up Prim , ' I said to mum as I walk throught the kitchen towards the door .
'Be careful , be nice to your sister ,' my mum said to me .
My house is in the area called The Seam , it's basically the unofficial center of my district besides the Justice Building . I lived in District 12 . The country I lived in , Panem . Panem is divided by 13 districts and rule by the Capitol .
When I arrive at Prim's school the students already out , I tried to find Prim with these bunch of kids but I can easily spot her in the large group . A golden blonde hair when it hit the sunlight and a red bag on her shoulder .
'Katniss !' Prim run at me and she hug me . She's so cute .
'Hey , how was school today?' I ask her .
'It was interesting , we learn about numbers' she said , excitedly .
'It's called Math' I said to her . ' Come on let's go home. '
As we walk to home people screamed again and now they started to run and cry . I can't help my feeling but I'm worried . I ask Darius , a teenage kid my age who likes to play games at the Hob .
'Why are these people screaming and running ?' I ask Darius .
'There was a gas leak in the mine ! I have to go and search my father !' Darius scream at me .
Oh God Dad ! i pull Prim and run as fast as I could . I run as fast as I can to reach my house to find my mother . Prim started to cry because her hand hurt because I pulled her so hard and she worries about dad . Finally I reached home .
'Mum! Mum!' I scream but no answer , maybe my mum has gone to the mine to search my father .
'Come on Prim let's find mum!' I said to Prim . I dropped Prim's bag and carries Prim . I run as fast as I could until I reached the mine .
When I arrive at the mine entrance I was so surpriced to see many families , doctors , ambulance there . I try to find my mum but it's so hard to spot her . All I can see is people and coal dusts everywhere . My eye hurts as I walk into the large crowd .
'Mum ?' I yell . But I can see her nor hear her . The crowds are starting to push and force the guards to open the entrance but they said that it's too dangerous to go in there without mining expertise .
Suddenly there an expolision inside the mine . As people are running away and screaming at the top of their lung , coal dust started to be thick and I can't see the way . I pulled Prim, hugged her and I started running away . For a moment I seem to forget my parents and now all I can thick of is saving my sister .
As people are running , explosions came from underneath the ground . People are now literally 'flying' everywhere and hit the ground hard . Blood covers the street and explosion after explosion echoes in my ear . Prim are now crying and so am I I run as fast my legs can go. All I care about now is saving my sister . She's now maybe the only family I have .
Suddenly the ground underneath me starts to shake. I'm determine to go into the woods and just run without any barriers in front of me . There it is , the fence that separates District 12 and the woods beyond . The fence is just a stone throw away but it's too late .
The ground explode and I fall down to the ground . I accidently release Prim from my hand . As I hit the ground Prim's running towards me . My head started to blur and when Prim is running towards me , the ground underneath her explode . I pass out .
