Author's Note: Hello, readers! I've been wanting to write a Hunger Games fan fiction for a while now and have finally made myself, due to the war I had with my sister over who could draw Katniss better, they both turned out pretty cool. Sooo, read and review and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games.
Chapter 1: Where I Belong
I hear the rustle of leaves to my right and drop swiftly to the forest floor. I nestle myself among the foliage, perfectly camouflaged. Then I discreetly select a silver arrow from the quiver at my back and place it in the gleaming bow in my hands.
I turn toward the noise, crouching low, my hands on the rough bark of a tree. I spot a buck. A youthful and sleek creature, oblivious to the fact that his life may end at any moment. Instead of destroying the beauty instantly, I lower my bow.
I can't take away his unknowing innocence, his nature-given freedom. This beautiful creation is uncorrupted by the cruel world, unchanged. Unlike do many of us whose lives are forever marred by its greedy games.
I lower the bow and let it rest at my side, the arrow still in it. As I reveal myself from my hiding spot the buck skitters away into the trees, melting away.
I slowly begin to trudge through the woods, bow at the ready. I am well fed because of the winning of the rebellion against the capitol. I have little need for the wildlife I hunt in these woods. But this place is the one true place on this earth I feel I truly belong too.
After about a quarter mile, I spy a squirrel in a nearby tree, high in the branches of a maple. I raise the bow and pull back the string but, before I can release, strong arms snake around me from behind.
What did you think guys? Tell me! I know this was super short but I have my reasons and I know that the next chapter shall rock so, review fellow tributes!
