The cool autumn breeze brushes over my cheeks as I wonder around the endless forest outside District 12. I was looking for my mother, who was probably up high in a tree about to strike a rabbit in the heart with her bow.
My mom was Katniss Everdeen, The girl on fire and the Victor of the 74th Hunger Games. But of course now she is Katniss Mellark, My dad being Peeta Mellark, also the victor of the 74th Hunger Games.
My mom was fantastic with the Bow she almost never misses. My specialty wasn't with the bow but the Knife; I was swift, quick, and accurate. I'm about to go to my mom and I's meeting place, right before the fence into District 12, when I spot a rabbit. I stop short and position my arm with my knife in my hand. I usually don't hunt with my knife, but I couldn't pull out my bow without startling the rabbit. I strategically placed my knife with my aim and chucked it and just to what I expected it landed in the Rabbit's heart. Causing it to stop short and lay on the forest floor dead. I smirked to myself at my skill.
"Good Throw" I turn my head quick towards the sound I saw a boy, about 16, my age. He was tall and his gray eyes were intensely staring at my face. He had dark brown hair and his was a perfect tan. He came closer, cracking branches beneath his feet.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to sneak up on you" He started at me like he was waiting for me to say something. "But seriously," he continued, "that was a great throw" he smiled revealing his white teeth that seemed to glow. I still stand there dumfounded looking at the boy's beauty. He look down towards the ground, realizing I wasn't going to answer back. And that snapped me back to reality.
"Uh…Thanks" I say. The boy smiled again making my legs go week. The sun behind me made his eyes glisten and made them look a shiny silver instead of gray. He looked up at the glowing sun. his face lit up, as though realizing something.
"I better be getting out of here, my dad is probably wondering where I went" he smiles as a goodbye and it takes me a second to say goodbye by then he is already walking away from me.
"See you" my voice cracks, realizing after I said it I had no idea if I was going to see him again.
From my left I hear a branch crack. My head snaps up wondering if it would be another extremely attractive boy. All I see is my mother's brown hair and gray eyes.
"Don't sneak up on me like that" I yell in fear. My mom laughs,
"I was only there for a second" I turn my head towards the path the boy was walking down and saw him walking still. My mom saw and asked,
"Who's that?" I stand quiet for a moment remembering what happened. And staring at the place where the boy once stood.
"I'm not sure." I tell mom about the rabbit I killed, just remembering the dead rabbit just now. And I tell her how he complimented it.
My mom now looked down the path, seeing the boy. He looked back sensing he had eyes on him. He saw me and waved. I waved back and glanced at my mom. She had a weird face. Like she was trying to figure something out. She shook her head. And looked at the dead rabbit. "We'll let bring that rabbit outta here." She paused.
"Hailey, you coming?" I nodded my head but my brain was still thinking of the grey eyed boy who thought I was good at throwing.
