Red Apples [Completed]

Chapter 6: Balance

I groan opening my eyes seeing everyone standing over me and I sigh, I guess it's training and so after I change I walk with them outside and Haymich steps up

"Your first lesson is balance. I want you to walk on that" he points to this long skinny log, how am I suppose to balance on that, I look at him with an 'are you serious?' Look and he just smirks. I sigh and stand on it trying to move but I wiggle and fall

"Come on sweetheart. You ain't moving from there till dinner" he instructs while everyone works doing chores around the house while I keep falling off this skinny log.

"Haymich! I can't do it!" I whine after falling of for what seems a hundred times now, the sun is already setting

"That's because you're not believing. You need to believer in yourself" he explains and I sigh and try to do it, I almost do... until I fall off again.

"Look! I'm doing it!" I smile proud with myself, it's been the following day and it's in the afternoon and I've finally done it! I've kept my balance! I reach the end and I walk back smiling

"Good job sweetheart. Now do it again, twenty times" Haymich states and I groan and so I get back up but only falling twice in the whole thing.

I lay in bed that night thinking over my life, was it really a good idea to hide from Peeta? I guess he could've helped me, I love him... a lot but I just... I can't face my stepmother, I'm too scared and I wouldn't be able to look at her in the eye but I would love to marry Peeta... be his wife, him being my husband, I'm too scared to tell him about my stepmother, I'm scared he'll get angry and not love me anymore and it'd brake my heart if he ever thought that.

Sorry guys. The next two chapters of Katniss training will be short too
