When I wake up I'm back in my camp. I look around expecting to see Gale, but he's nowhere to be seen. I assume that he's gone hunting. When I sit up my stomach hurts. For a second I wonder why. Then I remember the events of yesterday. I pull up my shirt and find that my stomach has been wrapped up in bandages, as well as my ams. I feel a little light headed, so I lay back down and fall asleep.
When I wake up Gale's still not back. I open up the backpack and eat some food. I hear some rustling in the bushes so I walk out of the tent with a knife. Gale must have taken my arrows for hunting. When I walk out of the tent I see Gale standing in front of one of the trees skinning a rabbit.
"Gale!" I shout as I walk towards him.
"Katniss" He says as he embraces me in a hug "I was so worried. I thought you were going to die, you lost so much blood"
"So did I. But then I woke up and found all these bandages on me, and now I feel a lot better"
"That's good" He says as he kisses my forehead. We head back into the tent, so he can fix my bandages.
"Who all is left?" I ask
'Well, us, Clove, Marvel, district 5 girl, girl from 8, boy from 3 and boy from 6 I think" He says "I could be wrong"
"Okay" I answer quietly.
We decide to lay low for a few days. Only one death, district 8. The feast should begin soon. We don't really need anything from it though. Almost as soon as I thought that Seneca Crane announced that there was going to be a feast. Typical.
"We don't really need to go, Catnip" Gale looks up at me "It'll just be dangerous"
"I agree, there's no point in going" There's just going to be fighting. We have weapons, food, shelter and medicine" I say in response as I dig into a bird that Gale caught. It was true. Haymitch had sent me some medicine and now my arms and stomach barely even have a scar.
We sit around in the tent all day. Just waiting to hear the canons. 1 goes off, then another.
"I wonder who died' I say, breaking the silence.
"I bet 5 or 6" Gale says
"I don't think foxface would have died, she's pretty fast" I say
"Who?" Gale questions
"District 5, I think she looks like a fox" I say.
"Oh yeah, kind of" He mutters
The night falls and no one else has died. Turns out it was 3 and 6. Foxface had made it through. I fall quick asleep, Gale had the first watch. When I wake up it's morning.
"Gale" I say groggily "You were supposed to wake me up for my shift"
"Be thankful, you got a good sleep" He snaps
"And I take it you didn't, seeing as how you're acting" I snap back
"Sorry" He says apologetically
"It's alright"
Nothing happens the entire day. But it did get a lot hotter. I think the game makers are trying to force us towards the lake. I'm sure Clove and Marvel are already there, but we decide to stay here tonight.
In the morning we pack up only necessary things; weapons, water canteens and start making our way towards the lake. We haven't been there before, but the game makers are making it quite easy to find it.
In less than 3 hours we spot the lake.
"We should get more into the bush, it's less open there" Gale says quietly
"I agree, you lead" I whisper. We trudge through the thick forest, towards the lake. We are about half a kilometer away from the lake.
"I think we should stop here, there's no point in going any further, we lot's of water left, and I am almost certain that someone will be waiting at the lake" Gale says. I nod my head and sit down on the mossy floor.
We've been sitting here for over an hour so I stand up to stretch, bow in hand. I hear a crack coming straight from behind me. I spin 180 degrees around and let my arrow fly.
"Aahhh" I hear someone scream, it was foxface.
"Katniss" Gale says
"I-I thought it was one of the careers" I say in my defense. She was probably wanting to kill us, so Gale should be thanking me. I shrug it off and start walking again. Gale quickly catches up. We walk along for awhile, until we hear voices.
Sorry for such a long delay. I have 2 stories on the go right now and I'm rewriting one as well. I love you're reviews, keep sending them! \('.')/
