Okay here is the second chapter! I want to say thank you to who responded. Umm, so I'll try as hard as I can to upload longer chapters but I don't concentrate very well.

Ch 2: KPOV

Twang. I released my arrow just the way my dad had showed me weeks before. "Good job Katniss," my father said as the arrow hit a rabbit. Gale, my 11 year old cousin, came running into the clearing carrying a squirrel. My dad turned away from the rabbit to Gale silently holding up the squirrel for him to see, a proud smirk on his face.

His mom, Hazel, is my dad's younger sister. "I've taught you well. Those are hard to catch." He said pointing to the squirrel. Gale walked forward eyes on me. "Here that Kat? I'm better than you." Now, my temper has never been good and Gale knows right where to dig, my pride. I gave him my best you-are-so-frickin-dead look in return.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hay, hay. I have an idea." My father said sensing that more rude gestures were to come. He led us to a pond where lots of arrow shaped leaves came out of the water. "What's that Daddy?" I asked pointing to the leaves. "That's you" he says with a smile. You see for a 9 year old I rarely smile but when I'm with my dad in the woods I feel a lot younger. "That's not me, that's a plant!" and I giggled. Gale laughed!

Behind us something snapped, the three of us turned around. Standing not 50 ft in front of us was a boy. A clean, blond, boy dressed like a Peacekeeper.

I waited quietly 20 ft from my snare. I saw a flash of grey an then heard the trap snap shut. I looked to the snare and saw that I had gotten a good sized squirrel. I took out my knife and walked over to the animal. I knelt close and raised the knife. I made the mistake of looking into its eyes. They looked like the eyes of my 6 year old cousin Primrose, scared and helpless. but had to kill it. Even one squirrel was a good meal for my family. I might be 12 but I fully understand the power and brutality behind the evil we call the Capital. Every morning i wake up to see what they have given us... almost nothing. After finishing off the squirrel I pick it up an race back to the clearing where Prim's dad and older sister wait. I come into the clearing silently holding up the squirrel Katniss and my uncle look over. My uncle smiles, " I've taught you well. Those are hard to catch." I looked at Katniss then to the rabbit she had shot. Jealousy boils up inside of me. I shouldn't feel this way but I do. 'Here that Kat?' I said as I walked closer 'I'm better than you.' As soon as its out of my mouth I regret it. As my prize for insulting her Katniss gives me her best glare. I was about to say say that the arrow didn't kill it her face did when Liam suggests we go to some pond. When we get there I hear Liam say something about how we should get some and bring it back for food but I/'m not listening. I swear I just saw something big move in between the trees. Deciding it was nothing I turn back to the conversation just as Katniss asks: "Whats that Daddy?". Liam smiles. "That is you." Kattnis giggles which naturally make me laugh. God, we haven't had a good time in a long, long time. We all turn around at a loud crack. A large blond boy is standing in front of us. At first I think it's our cousin Peeta but I realized this boy is bigger and well fed. And dressed like a Peacekeeper trainee. This boy is from District 2. I reach for my knife but stop confused when I notice he's staring right at Katniss.

Sorry, this took me longer than I thought it would.
