Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games no matter how much I would like to. So the Hunger Games has officially begun and Thresh and Juniper are together. Let's see what happen:

We walk for about half an hour through the grass as Thresh points out all the different types of grain and wheat, I just nod so afraid that anyone could be following us and anyone could be watching. The blood bath is probably over so we might be getting some screen time and comments about us being an unlikely pair will be flooding the ears of the Capitol's citizens.
Thresh sweeps away the grass and a glen opens up before us, it looks so tranquil with a large lake in the middle, the edge of the forest at the back and a mountain side surrounding the left side with a large cave protruding from it. It was a paradise so well hidden amongst the grass; I bet the Game makers never expected anyone to ever find it, I mean who would risk travelling through a place where they can't see.

'Wow, this is... wow' We just stood there staring at how beautiful it was, it seemed so unnatural to have place like this in the place where we were most likely to die.
'Do... do you think it's safe?'
'I dunno blondie, I guess we're just gonna have to find out, now won't we,' he winks at me before walking into the clearing and checking out the cave and the lake. 'Looks safe to me come on.' I hesitate before joining him.
'Let's do a quick stock check before we go to set up camp and go looking for food.' I nod and we go and sit in the mouth of the cave and begin to unpack our bags. They both contain pretty much the same things; a couple of packs of crackers, a pack of dried beef strips, some dried fruit, a bottle of iodine, some matches, a coil of some kind of wire and two empty, metal water bottles. Mine though had a sleeping bag whilst Thresh's contained two thick, woollen blankets. Add that to the axe I have as well as Thresh's knife and a spear that he picked up and we had a pretty good supply.

'What's in the case?' Shit, I really didn't want to tell him, it made me look weak and if I admitted it to him then I would have to admit it to everyone watching and that could risk my sponsors.
'Umm... nothing you know just some stuff. Nothing important, nothing that concerns you.' In a flash he's leapt to his feet and drawn his knife and is holding it against my throat.
'It's all or nothing, no secrets, no hiding, what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine. So are you going to show me or am I going to have to take it from you by force?' I kick Thresh in the stomach and he goes sprawling, dropping the knife, I grab it from the floor and stand over him directing it at his face.
'Never threaten me again. Do you hear me?' He nods fear flashing in his eyes. I grab the case and shove it along with the knife into his hands.
'It won't help you, like I said it's for me. Take it twice a day, morning and night. Without it I die. Caesar had it right, I'm sick and I'm dying,' I turn my back on him and walk away from the cave as I whisper, 'I understand if you don't want me in your alliance.'
'Dying or not I'd rather have you than anyone else. Now are you going to help me look for food or are you just going to stand there feeling sorry for yourself?'

'Give me the knife.' I hold my hand out to him.
'No, you could cut me to shreds with that thing. Why on earth would I give it to you, you can have the axe, it'll cause me less damage.'
'You can't fish with an axe, and there's a higher chance of me catching us a fish than you catching anything in the forest.'
'Wanna bet on that, if I catch more game out in the woods than you have to do the gutting and the cooking but if you catch more fish than I'll do it. Deal?' We shake hands and he walks into the woods taking with him the spear and the axe, I roll my eyes and get to work.
I've been fishing since the day I could walk, it was like that with everyone in our district, if you were old enough to walk and talk you were old enough to make an honest pay. You started off with fishing rods but as you got older your techniques got more advanced such as spear fishing but that long stick never did fit right in my hands when I was off of land so I created my own style. You had to be fast if you wanted to stab a fish without it swimming away from you and I was the only person in the entire district who could do it. So I spent the rest of the day diving into the water and collecting as much as I could desperate to beat Thresh at his own game.

'So blondie how'd you do?' I spun round in the water and saw Thresh dangling a couple of weird looking birds above my head. 'They're called groosling, now what do you have.'
I shook my knife in front of his face and he laughed at the small snapper shoved on the blade.
'I guess you're cooking then.'
'Turn around 11.' His face fell as he turned and saw the pile of 10 large tuna sitting on a leaf at the entrance to the cave. '11 to 2, guess I win. Now help me out before you start cooking.' He grabbed my hands and pulled me onto the shore, his eyes went wide and he quickly turned away sputtering.
'It's just underwear 11, it's not like I'm naked or anything.'
'Umm... It's well, it's just ahh...'
'Men' I mutter under my breath, I bet the Capitol is having a field day with this the hot girl is half naked. Honestly it's disgusting but how else am I supposed to get sponsors if they all think that I'm gonna die anyway.

We sat around our fire wrapped in our blankets as we ate a fish each along with some herbs and grains that Thresh picked.
'You're actually a decent chef.'
'Thanks but I'm never betting against you again.'
'Ha well never question the fishing skills of someone from 4.'
'I'll remember that, so what's it like where you live.'
'Peaceful, quiet we live just on the river in Victor's Village since my brother won the Hunger Games once. His mentor Mags moved in after he won since our parents are dead and he needed help taking care of me. Annie his girlfriend stays over allot, there's hardly ever any talking at my house since Mags had a stroke and can't say very much and Annie is scared of everything so she just keeps to herself.'
'Wait isn't she the one who went crazy after her alliance's head was cut off?'
'Uhuh, she's getting better but when I saw her before I left she couldn't even speak, she probably can't handle seeing me here after what she went through.'
'Sounds rough' All I can do in reply is nod.

We sit in silence for a few moments before Thresh starts up the conversation again.
'My parents are dead too, they were whipped to death by peacekeepers because they weren't working fast enough. It's just me and my grandmother and my sister now. I have to work twice as hard because my grandmother can't work anymore.'
'I'm sorry, my parents drowned, their boat crashed when they were crayfishing. It happens all the time in my district. We're all friends with the peacekeepers so noone ever gets beaten to death.'
'Everyday someone dies in my district because of it, bu they lie say it was an accident that they fell out of a tree or got in the way of the harvester. And the worst thing about it is that there's nothing I can do about it.' I could see the tears forming in the edges of his eyes and I was glad that they had probably cut away from us by now, Districts aren't allowed to find out what happens in other districts because it could cause panic and what Thresh was talking about could ruin the Capitol.
'I'm so sorry.' I reached over and held his hand in mine and we sat in silence for what felt like hours.

We broke apart when the anthem started playing and we walked out to the edge of the cave and looked up in the sky.
'I hope the little girl's ok.'
'From what I saw of her she's a fighter. I doubt anyone could've caught up to her.'
The sky was flooded with images of the dead tributes; the girl from 3 was first meaning that the careers were alive. I gasped when the boy from my district flashed across the screen.
'Were you close?' I shook my head.
'I never even knew his name.'
The boy from 5 was next followed by both from 6, one of which was my fault.
'I got her, cut her les off; she tried to take my medicine. She probably didn't even know what it was.'
'Still if you hadn't she could've gotten to it first and you would be the one in the sky.'
Next were the boys from 7 and 8 then both from 9 and finally the girl from 10.
'That one was me.' I nodded and stared at the sky as her picture faded away and the Capitol's seal replaced her face.
'See I told you. The little girl has guts, she's alive.'
'But for how long?'

Sorry this chapter was so short and kinda boring, the next one will be better. It's just that I've been studying for exams but I just felt that I had to post something. Review and favourite hopefully you tink it's good.
