I am now walking around the district, looking for Katniss.
And, admittedly, she told me the day before to just stay at the square, and she'll come around. But I've been waiting awhile, and, well, I got restless.
So I just walked around, looking for Katniss. Familiar faces greeted me as I walk pass them.
In time, I got hungry, so I bought some berries off a family friend, and as I turned around, I bumped into Gale.
He seem to have recognize me, as he scowled, no, glared at me.
"Hello, Gale." I greeted him.
Heck, where is this confidence coming from? I thought to myself. It wasn't that I was scared of him. But Gale was intimidating. Especially with the way he was looking at me now.
He was still glaring, and it dawned to me. I was going to the woods with Katniss. He used to be the only one Katniss would go there to. But I broke that rule.
The thought made me smile.
"Look, Peeta. I'm not gonna hurt you, or make you stop from going to the woods with Katniss." he said. "Just know, that when something bad happens to Katniss, I'm going to get you."
I put my hands up, smiling.
"Hey man, I promise." I said. "I won't do anything to hurt her."
"You better." he said, then walked off.
I looked up the sky, and saw the sun almost at the center of it.
I ran at once, looking for Katniss.
We literally bumped into each other. It hurt, we hit each others head, and fell to the ground. We were both dazed for awhile, Katniss' head was hard, and looking at her, mine was, too. But she was the first one to talk.
"Where have you been?" she demanded. She was rubbing her temples, and that really showed that my head was hard.
"Looking for you." I replied
"You should've just waited for me at the square, like I told you."
I got restless. I thought to myself, but said out loud, "I know. I'm sorry."
I then stood up, and helped Katniss up, too. She looked up the sky and turned to me.
"Come on, Peeta." she said, walking off.
I followed her, throughout the district, pass the meadow, until we reached the fence.
"What do we do now?" I asked her.
She didn't say anything, but gestured for me to wait and watch her. So I did.
With ease, she slipped through the small opening of the should be electrified fence. I followed her example.
"Alright." I said, brushing of the dried grass on my pants. "Where to now?"
Katniss POV (Whoa)
I let Peeta follow me as I went to find for my hidden bow. No one knows where it is, not even Gale, but I figured that Peeta would be harmless. I still think on why I allowed him to come with me, and yet, I couldn't think of a reason on why I shouldn't have.
Peeta was an amazing guy. He is nice, and kindhearted. He even gave me a shot and made me his friend. And he saved my life. I remember it, everyday I see him. And somehow, that's connected with why I kind of talked to hi the first place. Because even if I didn't want a friend, even if I didn't really want to talk to him, I owe him that much. And I won't ever stop owing him.
Soon enough I found the tree where my bow and shaft if arrows are hidden. I uncovered them, and showed them to Peeta. He smiled.
"Woah." he said. "That's awesome, Katniss."
I felt myself smile.
"Yeah." I said "Thanks."
We then walked, getting into the depths of the forest. We said nothing. Until I saw it.
I looked back at Peeta.
He saw it, too. He gestured for me to go on.
I walked, slowly, readying my bow and arrow. I aimed, and it went out. I shot. Perfect.
I looked at Peeta, he was smiling. Then we were both running to it.
Peeta got there first, and got it, turning it around and retrieving the arrow.
"This is big." he said, weighing it down his arms. "What are you going to do to this?"
I got the arrow.
"Cray's wild about wild turkey." I told Peeta. I looked at it, it was twice it's normal size.
"Is it okay if you carry that?" I asked him.
He nodded.
"Of course, Katniss." he said, and I saw that he had a belt, and he pinned it on.
He looked at me.
I thought for awhile.
"Have you been fishing before?"
He shook his head.
"Alright." I smiled at him, and turned around. "Let's go. I know a place. I'll teach you."
I led, he followed. It seemed to have been a very fruitful day, by the time we reached the pond, I've gained two rabbits, four quails, and a squirrel.
We set them aside at the small house beside the pond.
"My father found this. and took me here a few years before..." I trailed off "I come here every once in a while."
He nodded.
We went out, and removed our shoes. I was the first one to get in the water.
"Come on, Peeta." I said
He was hesitant, but eventually went in the water, too.
"I use my bow and arrows, but you could use your hands, too."
I demonstrated how to catch fish using hands, and caught one at ease.
"Okay." I said, after putting the fish aside. "Now you try."
He did, putting his hands in the water for five times before getting one. It was really funny, watching him. His face got all crunched up,and I saw how concentrated he was. When he finally got a fish, it was fighting him of, so he seemed like he was dancing, trying to keep hold on to it. It got away, and Peeta was now all wet and sitting on the pond. By then I was laughing out loud, I felt my cheeks hurting. He just sat ther and smiled at me.
Like it? Love it? Awesome, right?
I got surprised, too, when I found out that I'll be doing the woods part Katniss POV. I took a long time thinking what they would do, and here's what I ended up with. Hopefully it satisfied you... n_n
