Hunger Games *On Hold*

Traps

Echo's POV

Breakfast was served, I haven't had breakfeast for a long time. All I had for breakfeast was a piece of bread. Life is hard in District 13. Coin almost killed my little sister of hunger. It's getting better now, but it's still hard. Me and my sister are skinny as toothpicks, and my father is even worse. I haven't seen my best friend in a long time, her name is Acidalia. Taylor my little sister loves Acidalia, but she really liked her sister, Endreasta, too. Taylor is 12 years old and is very skinny. I was going to meet Alia today, I haven't seen her in two months. Everyday in those two months I just looked at my scar that we gave eachother. It reminded me of her. Breakfeast was over.

"Taylor go get dressed, we are going to meet with Acidalia and Endreasta at the old logging field."I tell her

"We are! Are we going to train? It's so fun!"Taylor said

Taylor is always happy even in the darkest times.

"Yeah, we are, and we are going to set traps. We need more meat" I tell her.

"Yay, I love setting traps!" She says.

Taylor takes a few minutes upstairs. We need meat since the only meat we have is a piece of bacon. My dad can't afford any more meat it's to expensive now, and most of the meat at the markets is old. Almost every time when we eat I give some of my food to Taylor, so she doesn't starve. Then my dad gives me some of his food to me, I tell him I won't take it but he won't listen. Taylor comes rushing down the stairs. She trips on one of the stairs and falls face first. Before her face hits the ground I catch her. Her and Alia had that in common, tripping on their faces.

"Your in a hurry." I say, helping her up.

"Yeah sorry, I'm just really excited." She says.

We head to the woods, I hop over the fence and I help Taylor hop over too. Me and Taylor continue to walk towards the logging field. I see that Alia and Endrea had already gotten to the log field. I run towards Acidalia we hug. I haven't seen her in months. Relief spreads over me to see that she wasn't looking that bad, but like all of us, much too thin. Taylor squeals in delight.

"Come on! Move out." Endrea calls.

Endrea spreads the wire equally in between all of us, and we all pick a direction to start setting them up.

"Yay! Can we start setting traps now?" Taylor asks happily.

"Yeah, go ahead, be careful though." Acidalia tells Taylor.

Taylor quickly shows the three knives strapped to her wrist, and ankles. She runs off as soon as Acidalia nods.

"I see your hair got a bit longer." I tell Acidalia.

"Ya I let it grow a little. Endrea keeps on complaining."Alia says.

"I missed you Echo." Alia says softly, pulling me into a hug.

"So did I." I say, squeezing

We set a few traps about everywhere. Endrea does a lot of traps, me and Acidalia do the regular amount and Taylor got mixed up with the wire everywhere. I was doing a trap when I hear a loud scream, I look at Taylor and the others. They had the same expression on their face. It sounded like someone died. That scream wasn't good the peackeepers could be cheacking the houses, we have to get back.

"We need to go, peackeepers might be cheacking the houses."Endrea says

"We will meet here tomorrow morning."I tell them

"Okay good plan, let's go." Alia says

We all head back running.
