Daniel Odair's P.O.V
"It's sure pretty." I breathed while Anastasia laid down on the grass, I wasn't really talking about the outside though.
We were sitting by the lake she promised she'd show me. I laid down too and stared out at the glowing sunset. Pink, orange, red and yellows seemed to dance across the sky. While the blinding sun slowly edged its way down.
"What's District 4 like?" Anastasia asked.
The corners of my mouth twitched, talking about home was one of my favourite things to talk about. I explained District 4 as best I could, the large vast blue sea that I wished I could explore, and the secret sea caves that me and Sonya discovered, and even the beautiful sunset that filled up the entire ocean.
"It sounds amazing." Anastasia said.
I nodded. "It is, you should see it one-," I broke off, knowing that she would probably never come to District 4.
We sat there in a comfortable silence. I could hear the laughter of the crowd in the distance.
"You're really good at singing." I told her. "Do you think you could sing another song?" I blurted out.
I was pretty sure Anastasia was blushing.
"I-I mean you don't have to if you don't want to." I quickly said.
She shook her head "No its fine." She paused "I usually don't sing a lot so consider yourself lucky."
Anastasia smiled and her eyes sparkled.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Her voice sounded so…
Beautiful. Haunting.
Just like the song.
"I was wrong, you're amazing!"
Anastasia smiled widely. "Thank you."
We sat there talking for a little while, she told me a little bit about District 12. But I wasn't really paying attention, I was staring at her in awe, everything about her was so perfect and graceful. Like the placement of her hair, or the color of her skin and eyes.
I didn't even realize that I crushed my lips onto hers.
Nick Mellark's P.O.V
Sonya danced away from me.
"Hey!" I shouted. "Come back!"
Her cackling echoed loudly as she ran away.
I raced after her laughing loudly as well.
I caught up after her when she was trying to climb a tree. She couldn't get a proper grasp on the lowest branch.
"Aw can't get up!" I taunted.
I sprinted over and jumped as high as I could, but I hit my head on the branch and fell…
Sonya Hawthorne
I giggle hysterically when Nick hit his head.
After a few seconds of wiping the tears from my eyes I went to check on Nick. He was just lying there. Pfft, if he was going to play a practical joke he would have to do better than that.
I put my side of my head on his chiselled chest. His heart was beating.
"Oh no!" I shouted dramatically. "This fine young specimen is dying!"
How shout I wake him up? By just simply pounding on his chest? Running away, and when he realizes I left, I would be hiding a and jump out at him? No, to childish…
It was wet willy time.
