The Story of Us

"Katniss! Katniss wake up!" Someone whispers on my ear. I turn and see Max.

"Max?" I ask.

"I want to show you something" he whispers. I stand up and follow him.

We arrive at a small lake with a meadow around it.

"My sister loves this place" he says. I smile.

"What's her name?" I ask him looking at the water.

"Nixie, it means water sprite" he smiles. I laugh.

"Does she love water?" I joke.

"Yeah, she goes swimming all the time" he smiles and laughs.

"To the depths of the ocean?"I play along.

"Yeah, she says mermaids do exist, she even got one to give her an autograph" he jokes. I look at him and we both laugh. We play with the water for a while.

"I have to go Katniss" he says frowning. I get up and hug him.

"Don't go" I plead.

"I have too, it's my time" he whispers.

"Please Max, please" I beg.

"How abou I visit you in your dreams? You tell me how Nixie is doing as I'll visit you, deal?" He says smiling. I nod.

"Deal" he smiles and begins to walk away.

"Don't forget Katniss, I'll away be in your heart" he says. I smile and wave goodbye. He'll be back.

I smile and opened my eyes. I look around and see I'm the only one awake. I hear a branch break and slowly get up. My bow at my side. I look outside and see its a rabbit. I quickly shoot it. I skin it and roast it over the fire. I finish eating it and wake up the others.

"Five more minutes" Clove groans. I laugh and shake my head.

"Fine but you won't get food" I joke. She quickly sits up.

"I'm up!" I laugh, Tristan chuckles.

We make eye contact and I smile and look down.

Glimmer and Coral whistle. I laugh and playfully push them.

"Don't make me bring a lizard again" I jokingly warn. Clove shoots up.

"Do it again! Do it again!" She screams like a child. I laugh. Marvel wakes up.

"Damn Clove, keep screaming and you'll burst my ears" he says rubbing his ears.

"Keep being stupid and you'll blow my mind" she bites back. I snicker along with Glimmer and Coral.

"So today were going hunting, we only got what? Two kills?" Cato says. I look at Tristan and see he's green and sweating.

"Tristan? You ok?" I ask worriedly. He nods and waves me off. Cato smirks. I look at him suspiciously.

"Coral, stay and guard the supplies" Cato orders. She nods. Tristan is by my side walking towards the woods.

"Wait, she's all alone, shouldn't she have someone to help her?" I ask.

"Your right, Tristan stay behind with her" Cato orders. I glare at him. Tristan looks at me and smiles sadly. I smile.

"I'll be back soon" I whisper.

"Promise?" He asks.

"Promise" I say. He smiles like a kid who just got candy. I giggle but quickly cover my mouth. Luckily only Coral heard me. She smirks and wiggles her eyebrows. I blush.

"Bye beautiful" Tristan whispers. I smile and wave. Blushing as I walk towards the group who is waiting at the edge of the woods. I stick next to Clove who whistles and winks at me. I laugh and push her. I quickly look back and see Tristan looking at me. I smile and wave. He waves back.

"I wish I had a boy who was after me" Glimmer sighs. Clove garages at her like she has two heads.

"You have tons of guys after you in the Capitol" I say.

"I know but they're not here right now" she winks at us. Clove makes a disgusted face and groans.

"Gross!" Clove gags.

"Oh shut up" Glimmer says laughing.

I laugh and step deeper into the woods unaware of Cato's lustful stare in my direction.
