hard to hide

Before

Those were the last hours before the Reaping ceremony. This was my last year and I had big chances to be chosen. So this day i didn't care about what tomorrow will bring to me.

I had woken up early to make the breakfast for my family before i went hunting. I caught two squirrels and one fox in the traps.I didn't use arrow. Killing too big animal wasn't a good idea this day.

I visited the baker, hoping to see his youngest son. But he wasn't there and i just exchanged a squirrel for the hot bread. I had came back to the forest and i sat down on the huge rock, waiting for Catnip.

"And may the odds.." i said.

"... be ever in our favor!" she finished with Effie's voice.

We ate our modest feast in silence. But i was thinking intensive. Maybe we could survive in the forest? Far away from the hunger games.

"We couldn't, Gale" I realized that I was thinking out loud "It's not only about you and me. You know it."

So we finished this conversation.
