Gale and Katniss
Chapter 1
It was early, the sky was a darkish grey it was hard to know what time it was because the sun was blocked out completely. I was asleep until I got woken by an ear piercing scream, without thinking I ran straight to my sister Prim's bedroom, she was sitting on her bed with tears flooding down her cheeks.
"Hey, it's ok, what's wrong?" I asked her sympathetically.
"I'm scared Katniss, I don't want to get picked." Prim says this, her voice trembling.
I looked at her with a comforting stare before I say:
"It's your first year in the bowl Prim, don't be ridiculous"
"Can you sing to me please Katniss?" She said this as she slumped back into her bed.
"Yes, but you have to start getting ready after, ok?"
"Ok..." She said back to me.
I began to sing a song that my father taught me when I was little. He taught me alot of songs but this one I remember the most:
Deep in the Meadow
Under The Willow
A Bed Of Grass
A Soft Green Pillow
Prim said "Thank You"
I gave her a kiss on the cheek and I ran to the forest to meet with Gale to go hunting. I went through the hole in the non-active electric fence and met Gale at our usual meeting point. He stood there looking tall and handsome, the sun that finally came out reflected against his grey, seam eyes. We were hunting for with the bow I crafted out of sticks and string and Gale's snares and other traps. We ended up with 1 turkey, 3 rabbits and a couple of squirrels. After a couple hours of 'Fun' hunting we settled down under a rock. Gale pulled out some fresh bread with some Cheese, I snatched it off of him and sniffed the bread. He took it back and sliced some cheese and placed it on a small slice of the bread (This being after the war, food supplies are pretty low) We ate it together and reflected on some of our great hunting moments. The hours flew by as we sat, talked and ate, before we knew it we had to get back to get ready for the Reaping.
