The suns just started to rise, as I grabbed my father's old hunting jacket and my boots. Heading out the door, I walked to the fence on the edge of District 12. I placed my left ear close to the fence to see if the electricity is running.
I crawled under the fence, walking to a hollow tree that held my bow and arrows. Slinging my quiver of arrows across my back and my bow in hand. Hiking deeper into the forest, checking the traps that I set up last night. Three squirrels, two turkeys and one quill.
It could be worse I thought to myself, I stuffed everything into my game bag trudging back to the hollow tree storing away my bow and arrows. Picking berries on the way back to my house. When I get back home my Mother has left for work, after two years of her shutting down doing nothing but sitting and barely eating.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
