Chapter 1
Reunion
I was starring at myself in my dim, cold mirror that rests in the bathroom. I carefully studied all of my strange and unique features. I was instantly drawn to my grey eyes that stand out the most from my blonde hair. My pale face seems almost invisible in the lighting in my room. My face was a home for a small amount of freckles which seem to make a star shape on my checks and forehead. My lips were full and a very pale pink colour and it seemed like the only colour upon my face. I sighed as I carefully placed my long, blonde hair into a fishtail that would rest on my back. What annoyed me the most was my stubborn fringe always wriggled its way out of its place and found its way just above my eyebrows. I then turned my attention to my outfit. I was wearing a pale blue shirt which was hidden under neath my hunting jacket. My pants matched my jacket as them were hunting pants. I reached down to tie up my shoes. I was so relieved that I was finally getting out of my boring old grey uniform and out of this underground maze I have been couped up in for the past year.
I sighed and walked to my compartment door and opened the door. I took a step out into the corridor and looked around. I slowly inched forward in the direction of the weapons vault to retrieve my bow and arrows. The long, narrow and dull corridors seemed to be not as busy as they normal are. I placed my index finger onto the wall and did a swirling pattern that I had made up early last year. As the door came into view, I saw the familiar faces of my friends who were not in the grey uniform we have been ordered to wear. I then saw some grins sneak up on their faces as I came closer.
"Are we off somewhere special Soldier Jane?" The one on the left spoke. His hair was pitch black like the night and he had grey eyes like mine. His voice was deep and filled with humour. His name was James.
"Well actually I am. Would you like to join me James and Luke?" I asked the two boys, their grins growing and I was developing a small smile.
"It would be our honour to Solider Jane," Luke spoke. His hair was dirty blonde and his eyes were blue like the sky. He shared the same cheeky grin that James had which made my grin show even more.
They then opened the thick, heavy metal doors to the weapons vault. I was drawn instantly to my Bow and arrow sheath as I quickly placed them over my shoulder. I then placed my knives into their slots around my waist and into my boots.
"How far are we planning on going today Lexi?" James asked as he was placing his weapons into their places. Luke was doing the same.
"As far as we want to," I replied as I went towards the door. When we all exited, I checked to make sure that all of my arrows were still in place.
"Come on!" I yelled reaching the gate to the forbidden outside world. I turned and saw that I had left the boys running breathlessly behind me when I sprinted towards the gate.
"You are not a normal girl. No girl can ever run that fast," Luke said when they caught up.
"I know I am not normal," I said. Well being President Coin's granddaughter did give you some special privileges. I mean no one else can go outside with out me accompanying them or they had permission to. When the gate opened, I ran outside into the fresh, clean air taking it all in. It was the best feeling I have ever felt since⦠well I don't wanna talk about him. Anyway , the boys were doing the exact same as I was.
When I finished, I walked towards the gate that lead to the forest and paused. I turned to see the boys scrambling behind me and I smirked. Then the guard opened the gate and we all walked out. It was so over whelming. The trees, the grass, the plants. Everything was so beautiful and fresh. A different change from what we are use to. back under ground.
"Well I guess I will be seeing you," I said with a grin jumping into a tree and climbed to the top branch. It was a good thing I was so light and never out on weight no matter how much I ate. I smiled as I heard the boys below me. I then jumped from the tree I was on and landed on the tree next to me. I smiled and did the same over and over again, trying to keep going South-east towards twelve. I had left the boys far behind me when I first saw it. The smoke. Gale! My mind screamed as I went towards it. The boys cried for me to come back grew softer and softer as I went away.
The smoke grew bigger as I approach. I suddenly stopped when I heard voices below me.
"Gale, what are we going to do?" asked a female voice. I climbed down and my mind was confused. Gale? it can't be can it? My mind kept asking. The female was blonde with blue eyes. She looked around about 13 years old. That's when it hit me. Prim?! I shook the thought away. Yes I was reminded of Prim, but I haven't seen her in a year so I don't know.
"I don't know Prim," The voice said. I would know that voice anywhere. It was Gale Hawthorne. I had to resist the urge to jump onto the ground. My heart was racing, palms sweating. I had to keep coking back my attempts to say his name. I leaned forward and almost fell out of the tree. I noticed his shirt couldn't hide the muscles that had once trapped me in them. He was stronger, muscles bigger then I remembered, but then again, a lot can happen in a year. That's when Prim noticed me.
"Gale!" She yelled. Gale turned around, his grey eyes searching the scene until the rested upon me, his bow drawn. Little did I know, I had mine drawn to.
"Who are you?" He questioned his voice deeper then I remembered. I slowly climb down the tree. As I reached the bottom, I stood in front of the duo.
"It is me Lexi," I said. His eyes widened as he embraced me into a hug.
That's when I woke up from a sleep, the memory still fresh in my mind.
