Fir McKoy was knowing some knives, or at least was trying. He wanted to be ready and it was a good way for him to put his frustrations to use. The woods were dark, depressing, and dreary, lit up by the starry night. The moon was full, the air was humid, he was working by the gloomy bog. The marshiness of the place around him was very difficult to work with. He held up a tree trunk and used it to climb up on the tall redwood before him.

"Catch me if you can!" He hollered to his sister.

He dragged her along so he could spend more time with her, and so he could she could get better at exercises. Mostly she was exceeding his expectations on terms of using weapons, she could get better though. He flung a knife towards the other treetop and was starting to have more precision. The knife was inches away from its target, which helped him appreciate how long he'd been working on this skill.

OOC: Hey, they're not supposed to be training in any district except career districts so can we like eliminate the knives and just make it a regular race type deal?

I smiled as I watched Fir throw (rocks?) at the tree. He had made a type of target onto it using tree sap before. Under his watch I had been practicing throwing rocks at it myself and I did not fully understand why. Hitting the center was truly not that hard. He just always told me it'd be better experience for my aim. I did not plan to argue with him.

"Catch me if you can!" Fir shouted at me as he ran up a tree trunk.

I stood up dusting the dirt off my pants that had most likely gathered there. This part of the woods was actually one of my favorites. It was still untouched by our machinery leaving it to grow in its full potential. Taking in a deep breath I inhaled the scent of the red wood trees all around her.

Hitching my boots up higher onto my leg I took off after him dashing up the log without slipping. I smiled as I easily caught up with him and gripped a tree branch swinging down onto the ground below.

"I think you'll be needing to catch me!" I shouted back him with a grin and started weaving through the trees.

(OOC: Sure, that's a great idea and rocks would work fine)

Fir McKoy

"Good luck, I'll count to twenty." Fir replied, giving his sister a head start.

He perched on top of a redwood branch and put his head nearby it so he could control himself from sneaking a peek. He already had an age advantage, no need for time also. After his twenty seconds he climbed farther up the tree so he could even better see the area, a stragetic move. He would be able to see the area from far up. He could spot his sister. It took him seconds, and then off he jumped, he heard her foot steps.

He wasn't the most quiet runner, the crunch of the grass was apparent and quite clumsy. He slowed down and hid within the shadows, so he could surprise her.

When he caught up with her, he screamed, "Sneak attack!"

He gave a big grin and offered her a high-five, she had been working out well these days. She was getting better and better at performing his challenges.

I rolled my eyes as I heard his response. He would not be able to catch me, of this I felt certain. Hearing the loud cracking of branches behind me I looked back to see Fir had landed in the brush. Then I remembered what he told me of looking back would slow you down. It was too late when I looked ahead though, I tripped on a fallen tree branch scraping my hands. Stumbling to my feet I kept running to hear him shout, "Sneak attack!"

My run stopped as he had caught up with. I saw his hand raise for a high five and grinned as I slapped his. "Good job catching up, next time it will be the other way around." I commented insinuating next time would not be so easy. It wasn't hard to accept my defeat, I knew we were almost equally matched.

Fir McKoy

Fir felt that maybe, his sister was getting better at athletics than even himself. He was starting to feel guilty about what he had been hiding. He started the secrets after he had a small interaction with this girl. They were starting to talk quite often, he was even introducing her to some of his family. He wasn't sure what his sister would think of her, or even they had met before. He usually didn't keep things from her.

If his sister liked her, he would make her his girlfriend. He didn't know what he'd do if she didn't, they'd have to get along. I have to remember to always take care of her. No matter whoever I want to be with, she is my priority.

Also he was hiding not only his possible girlfriend, but he was also hiding his plans if she was reaped. He at the current time, was working on getting someone to volunteer if his sister was ever drawn. He'd volunteer, but he wasn't a girl. He was going to pay off some of the other families with labor, if she ever got reaped, they'd have to volunteer. He had told them what would happen if they betrayed him, he had told them it would be messy, and he meant it. My mother would agree with my decision, his mind echoed as he remembered her touch. Her loving words, the spark within his mother's eyes. Her embrace and her mousy red hair.

He gave his sister a smile, he needed to tell her something. Something to make him feel less bad. You can't tell her everything, but tell her what you can. She'll find out if I don't fess up, and she will understand. She knows she's always my priority, nothing else, right? And my sister will always be my main girl, no one else, no matter what. He made a silent oath to himself and he was ready for what he'd say next.

He inquistively asked,"There's this girl at school, Liz Rose, do you know her?"

{ { M a b l e M c K o y } }

There was a moment of silence between my brother and I. It gave me time to turn and stare at the stars in the sky. A small breeze blew through the trees sending bits of my hair all over the place. It also reminded me summer was not completely here yet.

When I turned back to look at Fir he seemed to be deep in though. A smile played at my lips as I thought about everything he's done. If it hadn't been for him, my life probably wouldn't have been as exciting. Or I'd be a lazy bum with no incentive in life. I couldn't help but giggle at that thought.

Fir's small smile was all I needed to confirm my suspicions, "What's on you mind, Fir?"

Then I heard Fir's question. It was about a girl. I raised my eyebrow at him questioningly. "I cannot say I have. What's she like?" I did not try to snub the smile of my face. If Fir had a crush I'd like him to just be happy after all he'd done for me. His judgment was also good enough to pick a good person.

In fact I'd be interested in meeting her. If he liked her, she would need to know a few things about how our family worked.

Fir McKoy

"What's on your mind, Fir?"

"Two girls." He mumbled his answer.

The way he gave the reply it almost sounded scandalous. It was the opposite, ironically enough, his sister and Liz Rose, two people he cared for.

"I cannot say I have, what is she like?"

Mable seemed like she knew what he was getting at, and this wasn't a complete shock to him. He gave a small blush when he was thinking, how do I begin to explain her? She cares for people in her family when they are sick, she tries to help the needy... His thoughts trailed, as he pondered, where to start and when. Then it struck him, tell her what he likes about her and how he met her. That would be pretty accurate, and would reveal most of his story.

He began,"Liz Rose, is a girl that loves to help people and would care for the sick. She has a huge heart, which shined through about, a month ago. I met her when I was with my friends-", and he continued, "when I was trying to impress them. I hurt myself when I was throwing a stone, twice my size. I pulled a muscle, and she came over to help me up, and it was after I had that nasty break-up with one of her friends."

He looked up to the sky, thinking of Liz was making his heart beat faster. The night was breaktaking, it kind of reminded him of her, in an odd way. It wasn't because of her dark blue eyes or her shining blonde hair, it was the way the moon shone on the land. Her light lit up his world full of dark.

"Would you like to meet her?"
