Katniss' POV
I was trudging through the forest, like I do every morning before my usual minuscule breakfast of half a slice of stale bread from the bins of the Mellark bakery, and a bit of semi-decomposed apple from the apple tree that Mother, Father and I planted when Prim was born, to symbolise her life.
I love this forest, because my earliest memory was here. I was with my late father, and he brought me to a secret lake. It became our secret lake, but now it's just my secret lake. Mother had made me a swimsuit with a picture of a Katniss plant on it, and father brought me to lake and taught me how to swim.
He said I looked as elegant as a swan, and that I was the best swimmer he had ever seen. Although I knew he was just saying that to boost my confidence. But that was what I loved about him: he always knew how to make you happy. I really didn't realise how much I took him for granted until he died.
So, I was just walking around the forest aimlessly, when Gale snuck up on me. "Ugh! You nearly gave me a heart attack! What would have happened if you scared an animal away, which I was about to kill?!" I retorted. In which Gale replied with "But you weren't, I was watching you the whole time." "Ahhhhh stalker!" I said with a playful tone.
Gale and I wandered through the forest, checking the bushes, climbing the trees and peering through the canopy in search of any potential prey. Then we had gone so far, we had actually left the camouflage of the forest, and we were out in the open. We spotted a field of sheep. There were numerous lambs. I decided I wanted lamb stew for dinner.
One little lamb wandered too far from its mother, and it fell prey to my bow.
