Chapter One: The day that changed everything
The forest is silent as Gale and i weave in and out of the trees searching for game. It has been a very harsh winter with several feet of snow covering the district and winter has only just begun. Game has been scarce and what we have found is skinny and underfed we spend hours in the woods surrounding are district from sun up to sun down and at the end of every day we barley have enough food to feed two people let alone the eight people who are relying on us. Both of are families are slowly starving and we are considered one of the lucky families who have people who risk leaving the safety of the district and hunt.
Today has been a lucky day we found a deer coming out of a cave although it was skinny and underfed it still will feed all of us for a few days. After Gale skins it and butchers it splitting it equally among are two bags. I try to make him take more since his family is larger than mine but he ignores me and shoves his knife back into his belt and slings his game bag over his shoulder.
"Let's go to the lake house to warm up a little before we need to get back. There's still a few hours of day light left." Gale says helping me to my feet.
The lake house is a little cabin several miles into the woods. My dad before he died used to take me there and we would fish and gather edible plants along the shores of the lake. In the summer it was an excellent spot to catch fish and swim. After the mine explosion that killed my dad i used to come here to remember him. I never wanted to bring anyone here but somehow Gale and i ended up swimming in the lake and fishing last summer. The hike to the lake is long and tiring by the time we get there we are both soaked from the snow.
Gale holds the door open for me and immediately starts working on getting a fire roaring. I take off my hunting jacket and place it by the fire to dry.
"Catnip." Gale says as i walk over to were his standing over the fire warming his hands. I roll my eyes at the idiotic nickname Gale gave me when we first met. He rolls his shoulders back and turns away from the fire to look at me. His tone of voices sends a little tingle of fear down my spine. Normally when he calls me Catnip he's just teasing me. But the way he says it is the way you talk to an animal before you deliver the final blow.
"What?"
"I'm eighteen now and with game being so scarce I've decided to not wait for the reaping to happen and work in the mines."
I whip around and stare at him my whole face alive with terror. Images swirl in my mind all revolving around waking up in the middle of the night to hear the mine alarm going off. Gale who belongs in the woods where there is fresh air will be down in the suffocating killer mines. I turn around trying to get my emotions in to check before Gale can see how much this news is hurting me. Gale reaches out his hand placing it on my shoulder I roughly shrug my shoulder causing his hand to fall off my shoulder.
"Come on Catnip you knew this day was coming. I refuse to stand by any longer and let my family starve. I'll be fine trust me everything will be fine."
There's only one thing that I truly dislike about Gale is that he never recognizes when a situation is deadly he thinks he's untouchable. Our fathers death should prove to him that no one is every truly safe. I turn to face him my face whipped clean of emotions.
"It's your life." I say mundanely.
Part of me sees his point but I wish there was some way I could help. But there was nothing we could do. We have been spending over twelve hours in the woods everyday trying to find food. It's not like we could hunt for twenty four hours.
Gale smirks at me "Be careful Catnip I might think that you care about my safety." He teases. I roll my grey eyes at him and playfully push him. He laughs and pushes me back. I feel myself falling back and I quickly grab the front of his shirt causing him to fall with me. We both land with a loud thud both of us laughing. Gale once said that I'm only truly happy in the woods. It feels good to just be kids for once away from all of the death, starvation and responsibility in our world even if its jut for a few minutes. I try to wiggle my way free from out from under him. I hear Gale groan softly. He grabs my hips in his hands stilling my wiggling. Gale looks down at me and I don't know who leans forward but suddenly are lips are pressed together. He pulls away from me and I look into his eyes before claiming his lips again. His hands move from my waist to my lower back pulling me closer to him. My shirt rides up slightly I shiver as his hands trace small circles on my lower back. I tangle my fingers into his hair before shoving his coat off. His hands slip to the first button on my shirt he looks up at me as if asking my permission. I feel my heart beat faster and I suddenly feel a flash of heat down there. I nod and let him take of my shirt. "Katniss we really shouldn't be doing this." He mumbles against my neck. I look him in the eyes and pull him to me and kiss him with as much passion as I can manage. I don't want him to stop I realize that I want him. I mean I really want him. He kisses me back hesitantly I know that if I wanted him to stop he would. And that makes me want him more. I grab the ends of his shirt and strip it off of him. I stare down at him. He smirks "Like what you see?" he asks. I roll my eyes and let out a small laugh. He roughly pushes me back to the ground and kisses all down my chest and stops at my breasts. He slowly rubs them through the fabric of my bra plucking my nipples. I let out a long stream of moans but then shut my mouth embarrassed at what I just sounded like. He laughs and slips my bra off and catches my breasts as they spill out of my bra.
Gale leans down and starts to suck on one of them while playing with the other. I throw my head back and chew on my lip to prevent from making any noises. But when he bites my nipple I let out a load moan and arch my back pushing my breasts closer to him. "Gale please…." I don't know what I'm begging him for but he stops and slips his hand under my pants. I feel his hand rest against the fabric of my underwear. I look down at him and he slowly slips his hand under the fabric. I see stars bursting as he slowly run his finger against my slick folds. "Galeeeeeeee". I say as I move against his finger which causes his finger slip inside of me.
Gale lets out a groan as he pulls his finger out and then slowly back in his thumb brushes against a spot that makes me see stars. A few more brushes of his thumb and thrusts of his wicked fingers I feel myself fall over an invisible cliff and feel a rush of heat radiate through out my whole body. I see Gale through hazy eyes stick his finger into his mouth and suck my juice off of his finger. I see Gale start to adjust his pants and follow his gaze as I see a huge bulge in his pants. I see a slight blush across Gale's cheeks as he tries to hide the bulge from me. I roll my eyes and grab his hand that's covering the bulge. He looks up in surprise as I pull impatiently at his belt and pants leaving him completely naked. I rake my eyes over his flushed skin of his chest all the way down to his manhood. Which is standing out and proud, I reach out gently and run my fingertips across the soft silky skin. How can something so silky be so hard? Gale groans and I look up at him and see him staring at me with lustful eyes.
The next thing I know I'm on my back and Gales on top of my starring down at me. "Catnip are you sure you wanna do this?" He asks as he slowly pulls my underwear off. I can't trust my voice right now so I just nod my head. He leans down and kisses me as he slowly pushes inside of me. He swallows my gasp of pain. I dig my nails into his back holding him still for a few moments. He pressed a kiss against my throat sucking on my pulse point. "Move". I hiss as he thrusts slowly in and out after a few thrusts the pain slowly starts to disappear and is replaced by pleasure as i meet him thrust for same feeling returns from before and I feel myself shatter around him. He groans against my neck and thrusts fast and hard a few more times and spills something warm and sticky inside of me. Gale pulls out and starts getting dressed He looks down at me in horror, his eyes seem to ask me what the hell did we just do. The next thing I know I'm all alone in the lake house.
