So this is my first story! I hope you like it and i would love it if you gave me some suggestions and reviewed!
As I am standing in my section of girls at the reaping I am thinking of what Gale said earlier today "We could do it you know, run away." and to my surprise I am really thinking about it, but I couldn't worry about that now.
Eiffie was prancing along the stage like she does every year and I begin to think of how I couldn't run away with Gale if I had to go to The Hunger Games. "Ladies first!" i hear Eiffie say. "and the lucky tribute is Accalia Komali!"
I do not know this girl, but as she takes the stage I can tell she is young and this was probably her first year in the reaping.
The crowd is upset they always are when a 12 year old is picked because its not fair sending them off to die when their opponents are so much bigger so much stronger than Accalia takes the stage the tears in her eyes start to form as she realizes whats going to happen to her, and how she is going to die.
This much seems to dawn upon Eiffie and puts a rather large dent in her all too cheerful mood."Well" she says "Shall we move on to the boys?''
I am confused because no one even volunteered for Accalia, but what am I to say I didn't volunteer for her.
The only person i would volenteer for would be Prim.
Eiffie's voice is pulling me back from my thoughts as she is saying "and our lucky boy tribute is..." I cross my finger and squeeze my eyes shut praying for Gale not to get picked I am sure half the other girls are praying for someone whether it be their brother or their boyfriend.
I am praying for my hunting partner.
"Peeta Mellark!" says Eiffie finishing her sentence.
I breathe out a sigh of relief only to quickly suck it back in.
I know this boy.
It was a long time ago when we met I'm not even sure if he remembers but I do. This was the boy with the bread.
The boy who gave me bread and brought me back to life. The boy who gave me the will to survive and become a hunter and most importantly meet Gale.
The mayor instructs Accalia and Peeta to shake hands and with that the peacekeepers take them away to the justice building.
I should really go see Peeta and thank him for what he did for me he practically gave me life after my mother signed out on Prim and I.
I hadn't moved because i was deep in thought and I had been staring at the ground and by now I was sure a few people were giving me weird looks but I didn't care. I went to go talk to Gale, maybe he was going to go see Peeta or Accalia but I doubt it.
"Hey Catnip." he says "Do you want to go hunting, I need to talk to you about some thing."
"Sure Gale." I say forgetting all about how I had planned to go see Peeta.
Gale and I arranged a time to meet back in the woods because obviously I wasn't going hunting in my mothers nice clothes she would kill me. As I change back into my regular clothing I am thinking about what is so important that Gale couldn't just tell me right there in the square?
"Guess I'll find out soon enough." I murmured to myself."
