Heh so I was asked to put my fanfic up so here you guys go :) let me know what you think! :D I reach out for Prim, but instead find nothing I sit up and look toward our mothers bed. Prims cuddled up next to her, hugging that god awful cat. She must have had nightmares, wouldnt surprise me. Today is the reaping. Prim is only twelve, her name only entered once in that deep glass bowl which will be placed for all to see in front of the justice building at precisely 2pm today. She is about as safe as you can get. My name is in that bowl 22 times, the odds are definitely not not in my favour. The three of them are sleeping peacefully now though, so I silently stand and dress in my hunting gear. I grab the small block of goat cheese carefully wrapped in basil leaves and place them in my game bag. Prims gift to me on reaping day. I pull my boots on, the supple leather fitting perfectly to the shape of my foot through years of being worn. I slip silently through the door and head towards the gate that surrounds district 12. I listen for the hum, that is a signal the fence is alive with electricity but since we only get a few hours of electricity a day, as usual I here nothing. So I push through the gap and make the short hike to where Gale and I meet. Being sure to pick my bow and arrows up along the way. I walk for about fifteen minutes, when I hear a rustling behind me. I turn quickly, while loading my bow. I scan my surroundings but see nothing that could pose a threat. I small smile passes my lips as the obvious sets into mind. Food. Just walking right past me. An easy target. I lower my bow slightly as I look for the stupid creature, hoping for a wild turkey, while expecting a rabbit. Something catches my eye, I turn and fire. Something much larger than any wild turkey falls. Suddenly the worst passes through my mind, and I think, I think I just shot Gale. I shout my voice rising dangerously Gale...GALE!!! I run seeing him struggle. Hes about 10 foot away from me, but down hill, and in the dark. As I approach, seeing nothing but stillness, I get a better look. I stop in my tracks. Now Im laughing, I couldnt have gotten it better if I tried. There in front of me with my arrow sticking out its neck is a Stag. It has to be 90 pounds at least. I smile, and then hear the snap of a twig behind me. I dont react this time, knowing he must have heard me shouting. He hasnt said a word and I feel the hairs on the back of neck stand on end. I spin around suddenly alarmed, and Im staring into the eyes of 3 wild dogs, Im surrounded and before I have the chance to load my bow the first one pounces. Heres a link for you guys with wattpad ;) ~Mrs Mellark
