Chapter 13: The hunting day
"What? Should we split another roll, too?" She asks me. Tresh is dead. His picture shines in a projection at the sky. "Katniss" I repeat. "I'm going to split one. But I'll save the cheese for tomorrow" she says, she want to ignore me. She doesn't want to hear what I have to say. Tresh is dead. And we're not. I shouldn't want to kill Tresh myself, he was dangerous. But not an enemy. No one in the arena is enemies. No one in this world but our capital is enemies. They force us to kill each others. "What" she says then. I just tell her the truth. "Tresh is dead" I just tell her. "He can't be" she says then, unconvinced. "They must have fired the cannon during the thundering and we missed" I tell her. "Are you sure? It's pouring out there. I don't know how you can see anything" she tells me, don't want to believe my words I just said. But I am totally sure.
Katniss wakes me up another day alive. I open my eyes with sleepy eyes. She sits beside me. I look at her. She is so beautiful. And now she is mine. I pull her down and kiss her carefully. She tries to say "We are wasting hunting time". But I don't think it was wasted time at all. "I wouldn't call it wasted" I say and she smiles a little. I sit up and I ask her, since I don't know anything about hunting and hungry "So do we hunt on empty stomachs to give us an edge?" I hope not. "Not us" she says.
"Hey, Effie we miss you" I joke. I tossed my fork and knife over my shoulder and lick up the rests. I remember she didn't like that Katniss ate her supper with her hands at the train. Katniss laughs. She cover my mouth with one of her hands. "Stop! Cato could be right outside the cave" She says, still laughing. I grab her hand away. "What do I care? I've you to protect me now" I say. "Come on" she sighs. She tries to get up, but I don't let her before I've get another kiss.
I am by the steam, collect berries. Like the ones Katniss tricked me with. She told me to dig roots. Our pack is in the woods. We use a whistle she teached me, to communicate with each other. The mockingjays repeats everything, she if the isn't nearby she will hear me because of them. Then I hear her screaming my name. I get up and see an arrow against me. She is shocked. She fires the arrow, but she pulls the bow in another way in the right second to not shoot me. The arrow tucks in an old oak at my left. I jump back and I shed the berries at the ground. "What are you doing? You're supposed to be here, not running around in the woods" She screams. She is upset with me. And I know that. I don't know how to calm her, I am not expert on calm down a very upset girlfriend at a arena while everyone, literally everyone watching. So I have to improvise.
