So again, thanks for reading this authors note. And I can see how many of you people see my story! XD So please review, because I KNOW!
Chapter 1 of Robin Hoods Identity
Watching everyone weep and take pity on themselves makes me sick. How can they? They're the rich! Poor people in my district can't even afford a hair on their heads!
"Ma'am. You have to move. The workers can't have someone taking up our factory space." I immediately place the hood over my head, walk swiftly away. I walk past barrels and old folks. Some of the evil men in town creep through the night, so I'm okay for at least a couple more hours. I walk out into the wood, taking my spot behind a tree, listening to the birds for a moment.
The old streets are filled with cluttered messes.
Snap.
A twig breaks from behind Katniss, she swirls around, her arrow pointed at the target. It's a small, plump, rabbit. Quickly, she releases the arrow, impaling the poor rabbit.
More food, Katniss thinks as she puts the rabbit in her game bag. She then becomes just another shadow amongst the trees, hiding from the rest of the world. She runs through the woods, flying past old trees and rotting leaves.
When she makes it to the destination she's been wanting, she slows down, not wanting to scare the children. The kids are hiding from the peacekeepers, sliding down the secret passageways they used to use to get past the knights when it was during the medieval times.
All the peasants and unwelcome people would be snuck in that passage way for shelter and safety. The knights, nor the peacekeepers have found the entrance to the kingdom. Her father was the first to find the tunnel. The first to finish digging all the way through, with the help of Katniss.
Katniss and her father both finished the half-way dug through tunnel, creating so much more helpful things for all the people of District 12. There, the kids are hiding from under sewn together leaves, creating a blanket for them.
"It's okay. It's just me." Katniss calls out. The peacekeepers tend to walk past this tunnel a lot, yet they never paid close enough attention to the 'vines' and 'bushes' that cover it up.
"Katniss!" Prim whispers excitedly, running up to her sister and clinging to her. "I thought you got in trouble at the Hob again. Next time, please let Ripper have the chair."
Katniss rolls her eyes. She was at the Hob the other day, looking around for any animals to hunt in the backyard. The Hob is a remote place out in the woods, and only the hungry find it when they travel out far enough. She found it one day, hunting up in the trees, so she decided to stop there.
She knew Greasy Sae from the execution they had not too long ago. So Sae just introduced her to Ripper. Sae wanted to talk to Katniss about the oil production lately, and how her shop would have to have more wood or else it'd fall down,. So Katniss grabbed a chair and talked with her.
Not too long after that, Ripper came back and tried taking the chair out from underneath her.
"We need another chair for the hanging today." Ripper claimed, still pulling on the chair.
This was news to Katniss, but it frightened her just the same. Who was being hanged? Of course, Katniss had to save them like she had the last pair about to be hanged. Or was it a trap? Trying to lower the helper of these men out, trying to serve her justice for rebelling against the law? Could it be . . . him? The one who has made her wonder over the years, toying with the thoughts and conversations she would have with?
"Prove it." Katniss had said defiantly, scooting back in her chair so she was placed in the middle, not planning to get up.
"Get up now missy." He said, ripping the chair out from underneath her. Katniss landed hard on the floor that day, her anger flared viciously too.
"Watch your back, brute." She yelled as she flung a broken piece of wood at his back, knocking him to the ground.
"You little.." Katniss kicked him in the gut, preventing him from finishing that sentence. Then she calmly walked away, feeling better now that she had released some of her anger and frustration.
It seem all she ever did was hunt anymore. And, Katniss, was kind of tired. She never rested anymore, or barely ate for that matter. But, at the end of the day, it was all worth it, seeing her sister having everything she needed.
Katniss and Prim's mother had died. Well she disappeared. She had to visit with President Snow one day, and never came back. She might have been kept up in the castle all this time, but until District Twelve over powers President Snow and the peacekeepers, they won't know for a long time.
Katniss was six years old when her mother had disappeared. President Snow sent peacekeepers to come and escort her to the castle. She never came back. My father was told she's visiting her family in District One.
But Katniss, somehow, knew that was a lie. But her father went about his business, clueless of what was happening. And maybe it was better that way. Things could have been a lot worse during that time. But shortly after Katniss and her father finished the tunnel, her father was captured by peacekeepers while he was walking down the trail.
It was her birthday. He was going to go get her something at the hob, but they took him. For no reason at all, leaving her and Prim to fend for themselves. It was a good thing Katniss had practiced shooting the bow and arrows, for if it wasn't for that, Katniss and Prim would have starved to death. Not to mention many of the other people she has helped all these years.
It always felt like the weight of the world was on her shoulders.
Katniss can shoot anything from whatever distance, it didn't matter. All the years from nearly starving paid off. Katniss could do anything. She could over power the whole kingdom if she wanted to. She could do it, without a scratch. That's how good she was.
"Katniss! The peacekeepers!" Prim whispers, ducking behind the woven leaves.
Katniss walks over to the curtain of leaves, peering out from behind the brush. There, two peacekeepers are dragging away an innocent person.
"No! No, please! I'll do anything! I'll give you everything I have!" The young man screams as he struggles against the hold of the peacekeepers.
"Stay still, and come with us. Or the punishment will be much worse than the hanging." The one laughs evilly, jerking the boy man forward. The continuing cries of the man screech in Katniss's ears, making her feel sick to her stomach.
I can't let another person die in this village for no good reason. Especially if it's because of President Snow.
Katniss jumps out, taking down one of the peacekeepers. But the other one was too fast, he knocked the weapon out of her hands, and takes her feet out, letting Katniss hit the hard floor.
She grunts, trying to push herself up, but the peacekeeper holds a foot down on her chest, preventing her from any sort of effective attack.
"Not this time," He cackles evilly. I can't die like this. Not here. Not in front of Prim.
With her mind set, Katniss squirms under the peacekeeper with all her might. She grabs at his legs, tearing the fabric of his pants, making him even more angry than he is hairy.
"Ah ah ah!" He taunts her, moving his finger from side to side in front of her face. "There will be no need for that until . . . Later." He smiles like he'd just won the lottery.
Katniss shrinks back in disgust, mustering up enough saliva to make it the way to this mans face. But after the first few tiny pockets of spit, it's like cotton had invaded her mouth, making it impossible to spit anything, unless dirt was shoved in her mouth.
Katniss needed someone. And no one was there to help but a twelve year old girl, that was smart enough to know Katniss would be mad at her forever if she ever interfered and got hurt. But the foot on her chest was hurting terribly. And the boot was slowly pushing the air out of her, not letting her take a breath.
But just when the last wisp of air left her body, the peacekeeper was tackled. And it wasn't just anyone. It was the boy she'd been watching all these years. The one human on this earth that ever fascinated her this much.
She would never admit it, but deep down, she was calling for him. And he came. And he saved her.
