This Story is based off a dream i had, soo yeah.

Disclaimer- i don't own The Hunger Games

Katniss POV

It's a cold misty night. I haven't been able to fall asleep - tomorrow is the reaping.

When I look over to the bed next to me, I see that Prim is sleeping soundly in our mother's arms. Poor sweet Prim had cried herself to sleep. Tomorrow is her first reaping. I sighed and stared at the bright full moon, it's shining right through the window giving the room a slight glow. I sighed again as I started to feel my eyelids getting heavy. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

I was woken up by the purr of the ugliest cat in the world; half of one ear missing and has dark beady, brown eyes. His name is Buttercup. Prim named him that by the colour of his yellowish mustard fur that matches the bright flower of Prim's name, Primrose. He hates me; you can see it in his eyes. He has that look, like he's thinking I'm going to try drowning him in that bucket again. I tried that a few years back – I bet he thinks about it everyday.

I slide out of bed and walked out to the kitchen. I chucked on my hunting gear and headed out to the forest; outside district 12, or as some people call it the "Seam". As I walked, I passed the little grey houses that the people lived in. I realised that the place was deserted; there was no men or women coming out from the mines or any kids coming out to play. Everyone was crawling away, hiding in his or her house. That's because of the reaping today.

When I reached the fence that border's district 12, I listened for the hum that means the fence is alive but it didn't come. You see the fence is meant to be electrified 24 hours a day to keep out wild animals and to keep us, people from escaping but we barely get any electricity a day so it's safe.

I went over to the 2-foot gap in the fence and slid under it. Then I jogged to meat up with Gale at our usual spot near the lake, but on the way I retrieved my bow and sheath of arrows from the hollow log and started my daily hunt.

I grabbed an arrow out of its sheath, as I stalked my prey. It's a mama rabbit, big and fluffy great for rabbit stew for my family before the reaping. I squatted into a healing position and waited for the right time before I released my arrow. It speared right in its eye, making it flop to the ground dead. Happy with my kill I went to gather it. As I went to gather my kill I heard a rustle coming from a bush, I stopped and paused for a while. It was dead silence, and then suddenly a figure jumped out and hugged me, I screamed.

'Shhhhshshshsh.' The calming voice of Gale told me.

'Gale, you scared me to death,' I exclaimed as I turn to face him.

Gale laughed.

'I'm being serious.'

'I know Catnip.' Answered Gale.

That's when We, Gale and I started hunting, setting up snares and cleaning our kills. After about 3 hours of hunting we had gathered 4 rabbits, 2 squirrels and a handful of strawberries each. So we decided to take a rest near the lake before heading home for the reaping. As we stopped near the lake we sat down, on the big rock that we always sat on.

Then Gale said to me, 'Prim's first reaping.'

'Yeah.' I answered

'So what will you do if she gets picked?'

'She won't get picked, it's 1 in a million Gale.'

'Still it's possible, so I got her this.' Said Gale, as he pulled out this circular pin.

'What is it?' I asked.

'Mocking jay pin, a symbol of district 12.' Gale answered giving me the pin.

'Thanks Gale, will be sure to give it to her.'

And with that we got up to head back to our homes.

This is my first fanfiction, (and first chapter of it) So constructive critism is Loved.
