Chapter One
I woke up to the smell of burning wood, my fire had gone out, and it seared my nostrils and throat. I jumped out of bed hoping I didn't oversleep, it was the day of the reaping and there was really no reason for me to want to wake up early, no reason that is except to catch up with Katniss and Gale. They don't actually know that I follow them or if they do they don't really seem to care. I get dressed in my old worn out clothes and run out the door. Judging by the dark sky and the chilly weather it's still about 5:30. I made it to the fence before they do like usual, and l I slid underneath. I ran to my favorite tree and jumped onto it and started to climb up. Once I got onto the branch I wanted I grabbed the spear that I made from one of the branches from two trees over. I'm good with a spear but not as good as Katniss is with the bow.
"Hey, Catnip took you long enough," Gale said when he saw Katniss.
"I couldn't leave, Prim had a nightmare and I stayed to comfort her."
"The Reaping?"
"Yeah the Reaping"
"Okay let's eat before we start," Gale said.
I sat with my mouth watering as I watched Katniss pull a lump of cheese out of her pocket. After they finished eating they stood up and walked to the strawberry patch, then the fishing hole, then deeper into the forest where the shot a squirrel. I watched amazed as she shot with great skill. When they left the forest and got too far to see me I jumped out of my tree and started to go to the fence then remembered that I was still holding my spear, knowing that if I were to walk into the district with this I would get turned in to the peacekeepers almost instantly. When I got to the tree and was about to climb up I saw two rabbits. I could have killed the rabbits but decided against it I would need to save my all my energy for what I planned at the reaping. After climbing up the tree and hiding my spear I ran towards the fence and slid under and out. Once I got home I got dressed into my reaping clothes and cleaned up my face, hands, and arms getting rid of all the dirt. And walked out of my door for what would be my last reaping.
