Prologe
Hi. My name is Hawkfish Odiar. My uncle is, was Finnick Odiar. You probably know of him. I was the tribute from district 4 during the 74th hunger games. My sister Purcula was also a tribute during that game. My father died when I was three. It was a fishing accident. My uncle let us. (My mom, Purcula, and I.) Move into his house. You all know Katniss' story, and some of Peeta's. Some people actally know of Rue's, Marvel's, and Electrica's. (Electrica being who you know as Foxface.) I'm going to start this story before the reapings, so you know of life back in district 4, and some other things. Let's go back to when I was ten.
I had just turned ten the day before, and I was about to have my first job! I have never really fished before, but us at 4 have this natural gift. Kind of like how the capital people have a natural gift of being really annoying. It's like an adaptation. I was with my sister. They gave me a pretty simple job to tell the truth. All I had to do was catch fish in a net.
My first attempt ended up with me entangled in the net. After like about maybe fifteen maybe even twenty attemps I finally got the net in the water. When I pulled it in. I had a lot of fish in it, and I dropped the net back into the sea. I managed to grab it, but all the fish had excaped. After awhile they decided I could not fish. At all, so they sent me home with a note. Saying that I couldn't fish, and that my mom should find something else for me to do.
She did. She had me work in her, and my father's bakery. I always have liked it there. You should smell it! The bread. Wow. Anyway, and that is why I don't fish. Now then. Let's go farther back in my lifetime. Back when I was three. Before my father died.
Purcula, and I were playing in the sea. I still hadn't been able to say her name right. I called her Purcu. It kind of stuck when I got older, so sometimes I called her Purcu before you know. Anyway we were splashing around. Getting each other wet. When our father came out. He looked a lot like Finnick. He had the same golden hair.
He made a lot of the woman in our district swoon. My sister, and I are more like our mom's family. My sister has our mom's black hair. I have the red hair of her sister who was in the Hunger Games, and died. Purcula has mom's metioned above sister's eyes. I have mom's eyes, so in other words. We aren't the handomest, or prettiest siblings. Though Purcula has dated some boys, but edventally they leave her for some prettier girl.
Anyway, we were playing in the sea. When our father, and mother came out. They watched us for awhile. Finally Dad took a running start, and jumped into the sea with us. We laughed, or giggled. After awhile it got to dark in the sea, and I was really tired. Dad just picked me up, and carried me into our little hut like place. As we fell asleep I remembered father whispering something to Mom.
That was the day before he died. That's about all you need to know. Well I'm going for now. See you later, and may the odds be ever in your favor. More than they were in mine that is.
