The fence (Brenna)

(sorry it took so long ... uh ya didnt have internet.. and today we just got it.. lol anyway here i go..)Today walking along the edge of the fence of 9 I retrieve my bow and quiver of arrows that are covered in moss hidden in a tree from sight. Looking around one last time ,checking to see if anyone appears. Taking my footing I scale a tree high above the ground, as to surpass the buzzing fence that threatens cook me if i dare touch it. Looking down I see the barbed wire that is at the top of the fence, I lunge towards a branch on the other side of the fence.Grabbing hold of the rough bark my hand slips slightly as I fall a little ways, coming closer and closer to the fence I wrap my arms around a thick arm of a branch catching myself feet from the humming below me. A sigh of relief escapes my lips as i climb down the tree and happily plant both feet on the steady ground. Taking an arrow and connecting it to the bow's tight string, going into hunting mode I listen for any sound that would indicate an unsuspecting prey.

Looking up to the sky and listening to the sounds around me I notice its going to be sunset in a few hours. Turning my attention to the forest I hear what seems to be a rabbit running from something or maybe its not running at all maybe its going home, either way its going to be part of my dinner tonight. Taking aim I release the bow string, sending the arrow through the small creatures eye, a clean kill. Its a hard decision but i decide that this one can be sold when i get home. As an hour or so goes by I take down 3 more hares and luck out with a nice size buck. Moving towards a cold spring i know of I decide to make camp for the night, by now the PK's must be searching for me since i sorta didnt come home from my shift of hunting. Laughing at the thought I hear someone walking towards me and i ready my bow ready to kill if nessesary. "Who's there ?" I say deciding its better not to play the game of pretending not to know they are there.

A young man peeks out of the trees with his hands up. I see no weapon but that does not mean he doesn't have a hand gun somewhere. He looks young and seems to have been walking about for a while. I'm not sure if i should tie him up and leave him here or trust him but before i can do either, a growl that sounds unmistakably like a wild dog coming from the bushes. Looking towards the brush i decide that I'll save this persons neck for now, seeing as to I am the only one with a weapon it seems. " I suggest that you move behind me now unless you plan on dying real soon. " I tell him. Sure enough coming out from the bushes is a fairly large wild dog sauntering towards us. Taking my aim I wait knowing that the kill is to easy for the dog just to get bored, it’ll want meat and we happen to be the best targets for such. I see the dog pull back to lunge at us and I shoot my arrow straight through his heart. Falling down to the ground it whimpers slightly before going limp all together, I walk over and slit its throat for just incase it passed out and didn’t die. Standing up looking over to the man who freaked out over the dog in the first place I smile and pull an arrow out of the quiver again pointing it at him. “Now lets see you better not be a spy for the PK’s”

Walking towards him I keep my eye's on him but whistle off to the left. Sandy should be near by , and that will be the only way i'm going to be able to make sure if this guy has any weapons on him or not. coming to my side a coyote strides up beside me and sits down looking up at me. Smiling I look down to Sandy and nodd my head over to the man, walking over she circles him sniffing him coming back to me she scratches her nose indicating that he is clean. I lower my bow and return my arrow to the quiver, I take a minute trying to decide how to answer him. “ I’m sorry. I had to make sure the PK’s sorry Peacekeepers, didn’t send anyone out here. You know its illegal to hunt outside of the barriors the ever so helpful PK’s hunting boundries of District 9.” I say and start walking towards the river with the wild dog over my shoulder, and my other kills in the bag that sandy drags behind her. “If you want some dinner feel free to follow “ I say to him as I walk past. Making it to the river I start cleaning my kills and getting ready to cook the dog for supper.

Looking up at him I shrug trying to decide how i answer him. Clearly this is is first time out in the woods, and he isnt acustum to walking quietly. " Food is hard to come by sometimes you have to find your own source wheather the Capitol likes it or not."I look at him again the dog finally clean and ready to cook I take some plastic i stole from the justice building and wrapit dunking it in the river and setting heavy rocks ontop so as it doesnt float away.

I start making placing the fire wood up so that i can light it on fire and to cook dinner and ward off any other preditors for the night. "My name is Rose, Rosella Cain. and your self? Obviously your not used to being in the open forest so what are you doing out here.?

" Not out this far, ive only seen one out here since i started hunting out side of nine. Killed him no problem but its messy trying to hide bodies. " Relaxing a tad as i watch him look at our surroundings, the guy looks lost and hungry. I start lighting the fire and keeping it going until it is hot enough to cook the meat. Getting the dog from the river i set it on the fire to let it cook and char a little.

"So since your not out here to hunt what are you doing ? running? You dont really have anything to stay out here long enough. " I say in a bit of a more friendlier tone.

-listnng -to what he has to say i try to think of any healing herbs that woule be out here- but i cant remember." I dont know of any to find out here but your welcome to come back with me to my district and ask our healer. she is fair and reasonable she may not charge you at all." the food is ready and i hand him and sandy a peice to chew on while eating here and there myself. I guess i can cut my hunting trip short and go back jack looks like he really needs this medicine.

(sorry so shortt writers block)
