YAY! NEW CHAPTER! WOOHOO! Sorry it's so short. I didn't have a lot of time to write this. :( Well anyways, here ya go!
~THG~
My eyes widen and I pull away. "Make any noise and I'll kill you." I hiss at Roy. I drop from the tree and rush over to the rabbit. I forgot all about it. I crouch on the ground next to it and act like I just shot it. I pull the arrow out and put it away. Dad walks up and looks surprised to see me.
"I didn't know you were out here Rose." he looks at the rabbit. "Hunting?" I nod my head.
"What're you doing?" I ask looking at the notebook in his hand. He pulls out a pencil from his pocket.
"Drawing." I nod my head again. "Is that what helps you with it? The...you know." I don't want to say it out loud. Considering Roy's listening and I don't really want to say it myself.
"Yeah. You know I could show you some time if you want. It really does help." he says looking at me sympathetically. I eye the notebook and pencil.
I've seen the concentrated look on dad's face when he draws. He loses himself in the art, like I loose myself in hunting. It might just help me some way. When I can't go hunting, when I'm away from home, at night. It would give me something else to do. It would help me put my feelings on paper. I remember Roy sitting in the tree, but he can wait.
"Why don't you show me now?" I ask. He smiles and motions for me to sit on the ground with him. I follow him and sit down. He opens the notebook to a fresh page.
"It's not that hard really. Just draw what you see." He looks around and his eyes focus on a flower about a foot away. It's a daisy. He suddenly gets that concentrated look on his face and starts sketching. I look at the way his hand his positioned, the tip of the pencil grazing the paper. I loose myself just as he does. He's finished in no time and I'm snapped out of my gaze by him saying my name. "Rose."
"Huh?" I look up at him. "Do you want to try?" he asks.
"Uhh, sure. But it won't be good." He hands me the notebook and pencil.
"Just focus." he says. I look at the flower and tilt my head. Focus. I stare at the daisy and focus only on it. Its long white petals, its slender stem, and the shadows from the surrounding trees that fall on the petals. I sketch everything I see and loose myself. I hold the paper out and stare at the daisy with it.
"Not bad." I hear. I turn and look at dad staring at the paper, smiling. His eyebrows are up and he turns to me. "That's actually really good Rose. See, there's nothing to it." I hand him the notebook. He stands up. "Well I'm going to head back. Here keep the notebook." he hands it to me. I thank him and he walks away. How long was I drawing. It seems a little bit brighter, but not that much.
Caleb! I forgot all about him! I look back and make sure dad's gone. Once he is I run to the tree and climb up it. I stifle a laugh when I see Roy drooling against the tree trunk. I crouch down and crawl over to him. "Roy!" I yell.
"Ah!" he yells, and almost falls over. I start laughing and sit down, clutching my stomach.
"You're too easy." I say. He glares at me. But then starts to laugh after a few seconds.
"Okay, I have to admit that was pretty good." he says. He stops laughing and gives me a mysterious look. "But don't worry, I'll get you back." he says. He then drops from the tree and runs away, sloppily from sleeping. I laugh harder. He can be such a dork.

Okay so that was short, I know, I know. But I hope you liked it! Please review!
"Finnick?" I say. "Maybe some pants?"He looks down at his legs as if noticing them for the first time. Then he whips of his hospital gown, leaving him in just his underwear. "Why? Do you find this"-he strikes a ridiculously proactive pose-"distracting?"
I love that quote! XD Oh and last time I asked the question, how old do you think I am? I'll tell you guys at the end of the story. But if someone guesses it right before then I'll tell you! XD So just a guessing game! It's really interesting! :P Okay guys thanks so much!
