Peeta and Katniss

I hate going to sleep, I hate when you wake up its a new day. Some people find this good.. Amazing to some people. For me it just means another day closer to the Reaping. This means The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games means death.

The Reaping is tomorrow and I couldn't be dreading it any more. To calm myself down I go to the woods just outside my district to hunt. I walk until I spot a deer. I raise my bow and focus on the animal, when I am about to shoot I hear footsteps behind me. I turn round quickly to see its Gale.

"I thought I told you to meet me at the fence"

He did tell me that. He tells me that all the time but when I'm ready too hunt I just go.. I don't wait for anyone. I sigh. "You know I never wait so why would this day be any different.. I could have caught that deer and gave my mother and Prim a descent meal!"

He smirks and shakes his head "Do you really think you would have got that thing through the fence without anybody noticing?"

Gales always right.. Even when I don't want him to be. It gets annoying after a while. I love him though and I can't change that now.

When we leave the forest it's almost dark, I get too go home with a descent meal for my mother and Prim which is always good. I wonder of Prim is as worried as when I left her today... It's her first time to be signed up for the Hunger Games so I can see why she is panicking so much. When Gale and I get too the other side of the electric fence he kisses me as we have to go our different ways.

"I'll meet you tomorrow before the reaping, meet me outside the arena okay?"

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow"

He smiles at me before he kisses me again. I smirk at him and walk away trying not to fall down the grass as it was raining this morning so it's more slippery than usual.

When I get home Prim runs up to me asked what I caught. I take the 3 squirrels out my hunting bag and hand them to her.

"Thankyou Katniss"

Prisms always grateful for what she gets, probably because she knows she can't get anything better.I smile at her before she runs into the kitchen to give my mother the food to cook.

At dinner it's quieter than usual. My mother keeps staring at Prim because she's worried about Prim being chosen as tribute. I am too.

"The Reapings tomorrow" Prim says then looks at me. "What if I get chosen"Her eyes start to tear up. "I will never let that happen to you Primrose, they won't pick you"

"Katniss promise that's true"

Prim puts her moves her plate in front of her and folds her arms whilst staring at me.

"I can't promise anything, but no matter what I'll protect you."

Everyone goes back to eating and it's silent.
