Long time no post! My last post was on my birthday, which was a month ago tomorrow. I've had a lot going on (I promise that's not just a lame excuse) so I haven't really had a good opportunity to even go on WordPress. First of all, I'm officially a homeschool high school graduate! I…
Chapter Nine I wake to Katniss prodding my shoulder. “Peeta, we’ve got to go now,” she says softly. I puzzle at this, not having considered moving from the river. “Go? Go where?” “Anywhere from here. Downstream maybe.” Katniss smiles sadly. “Somewhere we can hide you until you’re stronger.” She helps me into my clothes, which…
Chapter Six When we catch up, Katniss is up in a tree looking down at us. I guess I was right. She really is good at climbing. I study her face, waiting for the shocked, accusing look. Now that I think of it, though, I’m not sure I want to see it. I decide not…
Chapter Five Even with a full canteen of water, I’m still exhausted. I stumble a few times, and Cato keeps sharply telling me to get control of myself. But I just can’t. It’s like all of my energy has just melted away. We take a break pretty earlier on, but then, it’s hard to tell.…
Chapter Four As the sun rises, the birds and other forest creatures spring to life. Our footsteps through the forest are joined by the soft song of the birds, the screaming of squirrels when we pass their trees, and the occasional snake slithering through the brush. “I’m hungry,” Glimmer whines, and all five of us…
Chapter Three I’m sure we’ve walked for at least another four hours before Cato hears it. I swear, he has ears like a dog. The way he stops so abruptly, his back going rigid and his ears at attention, it isn’t like a human at all. All is silent at first, and I’m not sure…
Chapter Two “They don’t have much of a selection this year, do they?” Glimmer remarks as she rummages through the cornucopia. I’ve learned that she’s the most talkative of the careers; her mouth runs incessantly and no one can make it stop. Marvel looks up from a bag of fruit strips, which he’s found a…
I just recently started a new fanfiction, so I thought I'd post it here. It's a retelling of the hunger games from Peeta's point of view, with the same events and conversations but through his eyes. Here's chapter one. The gong sounds. It penetrates the air in a blast of fury, reverberating through the bright…
