Chapter 4
I wake to a beautiful morning, birds chirping and sun streaming into my room. I'ts a great day to go hunting. I get up and immediately trip on something. Peeta. I had forgotten he was there. But he catches me, and for a brief second we lock eyes. But I get up quickly and brush it off.
"I'm sorry, I forgot" I apologize to Peeta.
"It's okay, it's gonna take some getting used to" he says.
Then we stand there, in silence. Until he asks me, "Where were you going?"
"I was going hunting'' I answer, forgetting that it's illegal to him.
"Isn't that illegal" he says, right on cue.
"I gotta find a way to feed my family" I snap.
He weighs this around in his head until he finally answers "Can I go with you, please?"
I know what he's trying to do: show my family that he's thankful. I don't need his help, and he'll probably slow me down. But I agree, because now I don't owe him anything for the walk the distance to the fence. I check to see if it's charged, it's not. Of course. I duck under the fence, swiftly. After a few moments of hesitation, Peeta finally ducks under the fence. We walk into my woods. Peeta, like I was once is mesmerized. But I on the other hand have gotten used to the beauty of the forest.
We walk to the tree where I hide my bow and arrows. I take it out, and put the sheath on my back. Peeta, who's never seen a bow or an arrow asks,"What is that?". He stares at it in wonder until I tell him what it is and how to use it. After a few minutes of Peeta staring at it, I guide him to another tree. I find the bow that I used to use and under a log, I find the sheath of arrows. I hand them to Peeta, and start with the same things I taught Gale. I begin by telling him what everything is called. And then I show him how to use it. I tell him to try to hit a tree, which is only 10 feet away.
After a few attempts though, Peeta eventually hits the tree. He smiles, triumphantly at me. I can't resist, so I smile back. I then, let Peeta practice before we go hunt. I feel satisfied, so we go deeper into the woods. Peeta footsteps sound loud compared to mine. But I remind myself, that it's his first time. I spot a rabbit, I shoot it right in the eye. I walk over to get it. As I bend down, I hear a growl, I turn around. A wolf is next to Peeta. About to attack. I draw my arrow and am about to shoot when it does it. It attacks Peeta. I shoot it in the head as quickly as I can. The wolf, then lies limply on top of Peeta.
I run over to Peeta, how is trembling. He has some minor cuts on his face, but he has a bite in his arm. I grab him, and help him get up. He can still walk, but I see him wince out of the corner of my eye. I hold him up, and we walk through the woods back to the Seam. It hurts him to go under the fence, but he doesn't complain. We quickly walk to the house. When we get in, Prim is shocked. She quickly goes to Peeta and sits him down. Mother comes in and asks what happened. I tell her about the incident, and she attends to Peeta. And after a few winces and cries, he's all done. I apologize to Peeta for not killing the wolf on time and he apologizes for costing me a rabbit.
But when we all go to sleep that night it seems peaceful at least for a moment.
Sorry I didn't update. You know: school, homework, volleyball.
