People can be so confusing, chapter 1, 'Do you even like him?'
Disclamer:i do not own the hunger games or
anything or anyone that Suzanne Collins has created.
we were out in the forest, hunting game when I saw it, a mocking jay. It had its wing caught in a shrub, I have never really seen one before, only heard them. Katniss came running over then, "Gale, what are you doing, were meant to be hunting . . . " she trailed of when she saw the bird. Oh my god, katniss was so beautiful when she was worried, no wait she was beautiful all of the time.
"Oh, you poor little thing", she cooed "come on, lets get you home". So with those words, I packed up the squirrels, rabbits and fish that we caught while katniss gently picks up the mocking jay.
We make it to katniss' house in record time, only to be bombarded with questions by prim and her mother. My face must have shown my uneasiness because katniss shooed them away.
When we got the bird to the table, I backed away slightly so I wouldn't be in the way while they set to work. After what seemed hours, prim and her mother started leaving, prim crying. The mocking jay must be dead, or close to it. . ., while I was pondering my thoughts, I heard the most beautiful voice, it sang:
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
and when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
here the daises guard you from every harm
here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
here is he place where I love you.
The voice had such sorrow and hurt in it and a third emotion that I could not figure out, anger? So I listened closer.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
a cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
forget your woes and let your troubles lay
and when again its morning, theyll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
here the daisy's guard you from every harm
the beautiful voice is barely a whisper now, making it hard to hear.
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
this is the place where I love you.
The song finally ends and katniss is crying, her beautiful voice locked away again for god knows how long. I don't understand why she would do all that for a mocking jay but I decide not to ask unless it upsets her more.
Instead, I ask her if she is willing to go to the hob with me to trade some game that we caught, she finally lifts her beautiful head and nods. On the way there, I try to cheer her up, " you know, if your spending all your time with me, bread boy will think you don't like him". That at least cracks a smile, I cant stand it when she is sad but I need to ask her, "do you even like him?".
Now this gets a reaction, she is giggling, actully giggling, "whats so funny?" I ask. She finally spits out a "no" and then looks ahead of us I turn my head and I saw him. A very hurt, scered and unreadable expression on his face, he then turnes and stops off without a word.
