A Shot In The Dark
Chapter 1

AN: Hey there readers! I have been OBSESSING over the Kato pairing for months now. . . so I thought I might as well give writing one a try! Tell me what you think!
In my district, love is a luxury.
Only reserved for those who are well off in life, the rest of us have more pressing matters to deal with, like starving.
Love had never really been an option for me before, too much was relying on me.
I couldn't take the risk of getting my heart broken, or seeing my husband get blown to bits in a mine explosion, I've seen what it's done to my mother, and that is not an option for me.
I pondered these thoughts as I pulled on my leather jacket.
If I were to ever get married, I guess it would be to Gale. . .nobody else could possibly know me better.
I bounded down the stairs to where Prim was eating breakfast. I leaned down to kiss her on the forehead, and wish her a good day in school.
"Good bye Katniss!" she called "Good luck!"
"Thanks little duck," I replied "with this fog I'll need it!
I walked out the door. Crap. The fog was thicker than I thought! Today's a berry gathering day.
I strolled through the Hob, checking out Greasie Sae's lunch special, and some of the trinkets a traveling salesman was offering.
Not wanting to keep Gale waiting, I continued on my path towards the electric fence.
After a few more minutes of brisk walking, I was at the one barrier District 12 had from the wilderness.
I stepped towards the severed spot in the fence, moving to bet under it.
I stopped just mere inches from the object.
"What's that?" I murmured to myself. My superior hearing was picking up a low hum.
It took my a moment to realize that it was the electric fence that was eliciting the sound.
I scrambled back from the fence and stumbled to my feet. Instantly shooting off in the opposite direction.
If the fence was on that meant somebody was near, and I had to get myself away from any evidence of my illegal activities, as soon as possible.
"Shit!" I violently cursed, no wonder the fence was on.
The Junior Peacekeepers are in town.
AN: And I'll leave it at that! Sorry it was so short! Tell me what I should do with this story! If you review I promise I will update faster! So please, review!
