Chapter: 1
*Katniss P.O.V.*
Life is like a box of chocolate, because I juts ended up in the Hunger Games again.
"I really don't want to do this," I say to Peeta.
"It'll be ok," Peeta massages me neck and kisses my shoulders.
"Peeta I could die!" I scream at him. "You won't be there to protect me because you're not going back into the Hunger Games."
I pull away from Peeta, I love him but I need air.
Peeta looked hurt as I slammed the door in his face.
I ran into the woods, with my bow and arrow.
I always felt better when I was in these woods, they were like my home.
I started walking slower because my legs were tiring out. I saw a chicken so I aimed my arrow right at the chicken and shot it in its eye.
Right after the chicken collapsed, a guy did too. He was really fast and pale, and he collided into the ground, crushing my chicken with the weight of his body.
I run up to him to make sure my chicken was ok.
I quickly grabbed it, and looked at the guy.
He got up quickly eyeing me intently.
"Who are you?" I asked. "Why are you here in these woods?"
The guy looked nervous. "I-I live here." He stutters.
"You do?" I was impressed. "You live in these woods with those nice clothes."
He smiled.
"So are you ready for the reaping?" I asked.
"What's that?" He asked.
"You really need to get out of these woods," I laugh.
We both laugh and then we both start walking around in the woods. "So where do you live in these woods?"
"I'll show you," He says. "My family and I, we like seclusion. Away from all the drama your district goes through."
"Makes sense," I say. "You should let me move in with you so I don't live with the drama."
"Really," He says. "You look like you can handle it, the drama, I've seen you in the Hunger Games twice and you're pretty good."
"Thanks," I smile. "It's just that . . . I have to go in again."
"That sucks." He looks disappointed and I just noticed that his eyes were gold. It was really good looking.
"It does," I agree. "I don't want that life, I'm tired of killing people. I know that it's mandatory but I don't want people to die and I certainly don't want to die either."
"You'll get through it," He laughs.
"This isn't funny," I snap. "This is life and I-I don't know if I can take it."
"Just be strong," He says.
"Whatever," I snap. "I'm committing tonight and you won't do anything."
"Try me," He says. He sounds all calm, in contrast, if I told Peeta I was committing he'd freak out and whine like a baby.
I grab my chicken and walk away from him.
A few hours passed and I was still lost in these woods. I thought I knew these woods by heart but I guess I was wrong.
It was night, and they were going to turn on the electric gates. Meaning I wouldn't be able to get back to my district. I continued to walk with my dead chicken.
I really should just die.
I saw a cliff in the distance and I run towards it.
I saw the ocean beneath me, and all I needed to do was jump into the ocean and not worry about anything.
I dropped my chicken on the ground.
And my bow . . . :(
I took a deep breath, and I felt weird because I knew someone was watching me. That kid can't do anything to save me.
I jumped off the cliff.
The wind was smacking me in the face, but suddenly I hit a rock and I felt someone grab me.
They were cold, but I was already knocked out.
