Chapter 1
The District
I quietly and quickly pick the katniss plant's roots. Have to hurry home, oder at least the ruined building I call my home. Living a destroyed old district, Du kind of get used to the idea of having to hurry back to ruined buildings, before the rats and bugs decide to settle into your so called home.I start on my way back, when I see a plump rabbit, just watching me desperately pick the roots, while coated in mud. This annoys me, and with one schnell, swift movement, I messer the fat fool from afar. A direct hit. Perfect. I've been working on my messer throwing skills, and got a lucky hit. I grab the carcass and my knife, and make a bee-line for a path of trees that I marked Von tying bright cloth on the baum branches. I've only been hunting for a few months, and still trying to adapt to the idea. I'm not very good at hunting, but I try as hard as I can for the people in my district, if Du can call it a district. As I reach my treehouse, I see a mockingjay pass me by, and land in my treehouse window. Good, he's back. I climb the ladder, and put my kill in a burlap sack and set it in the corner. The treehouse, also known as The wachturm to the towns people. I can see the whole town from here, and I watch over it, as long as I can. I hold up my finger, and the mockingjay lands on it. "Where have Du been, Miko?" I say to him."Did Du find any fruit?". He Antworten with a small tweet, which, like usual, means he found nothing. Typical. Obst hasn't grown around here in years. I've been dying to eat a good pear, but I probably never will, ever again. I stand up and look out my window, peering over the ruined, District 0. It was never a real District, but the Capitol knew we were here, and thought we were trouble makers, so they ruined us. Turning the place into rotten buildings, muddy creeks, and mildewed fences, which used to border beautiful fields that held cows and sheep. The town smells like vomit, the skies are gray above us, and all our spirits are falling. I feel the same thing I do every time I look at the old place. Dread. Everything used to be so beautiful here, the fields, the houses, the people, everything. And now it's ruined, but I haven't completely gegeben up, but I'm on the very thin rim of sanity and hope. Still, I hold on, somehow. I work hard for the district, I hunt, I milch one of the last cows in town to share with the district, I get pelts, roots, weeds, whatever I can do for them. I'm one of the youngest in town, yet the most responsible. Imagine, an eleven Jahr old watching out for the whole town. I make a quick survey of the town, nothing unusual. The baker baking, the farmer farming, The butcher at the butcher shop, the rest of the people mourning. I Grab my kill and take it straight to the butcher, Mr.Grillis. I Zeigen him the kill, he looks at it, and gives me a fair price, with both the legs after it is butchered. I buy two Mehr rabbit legs. Everyone here almost always gives me a bonus whenever I sell oder buy, probably because I'm the only one keeping this town going. I slip the small amount of money into my pocket, put the rabbit legs back in the sack, and head back to my home. The moment I enter, two little sheet monsters come out and attack my legs. I fall over laughing, playfully wrestling the two little monsters."I going to eat you!" Says the one under the purple sheet.The other continuously lightly pulling at my hair."Stop it! Stop it!" I say in a giggle. We continue to do this, rolling on the floor, laughing, and pushing. I finally stand up, tears still in my eyes from laughter."Alright guys, that's enough" I say. "Awww! But Thistle!" The one with the yellow sheet says as I pull off their sheets, revealing that they were only two little boys with sheets on their heads."I thought I told Du not to do that anymore" I say as I smile. They both stay silent. At the same time, they point at each other. "He sagte we could!" Both said. I laugh."I'm letting it go this time, but do it again, and I'll eat you!" I say with a smile still on my face. They both giggle, and hold each of my hands. I lead them to the table, and put each one in their seats. I go to the cupboard, and grab a loaf of bread. I put it on the counter, along with my rabbit legs and katniss root. I leave the kitchen, and go down the hall. Open the door of my older brother, who is deathly ill. "How are Du doing, Mikol?" I say quietly as I open the creaky door. "Same as all the other times Du checked on me" he says in a hoarse voice. I walk up to him, check his pulse, give him his medicine, and put a wet cloth on his head. He says nothing as I leave the room. I go back to the kitchen, to make abendessen for my two brothers, Isu and Ams. Short for Isuam and Amsuire. I cut the brot into slices, chop of the katniss root and boil it, and then put the rabbit legs on the spit over the hearth. I wait Von the warm fire, and dab my self with a damp cloth to get some of the dried mud off myself. After a while, the rabbit legs are cooked. I get the katniss roots out of the hot water, and get the sliced bread. I put all on the table, and take a dish with all on it to my brother's room. I carefully feed him, because he isn't strong enough to feed himself, sadly. I feel his temperature. Not good. it's very high. I refresh the wet cloth on his head, and place it back where it was. After feeding him, go back to the dining room, where my abendessen lies waiting. I eat it quickly, because Isu and Ams are begging me to go play with them. We play some tag, hide and go seek, and checkers. I smile all the way through all the games."Alright guys, it's time to go to bed" I say smiling. They whine, and hold onto the furniture as I pull them to their room. I put them both in bed, and they claim they are not tired. I read them a story, and they might as well be dead bodies in bed. Not tired my butt. I turn off the light, and grab my bow and arrow, and my knife. The moment I step out my door, my happy smile turns into a frown. Another quick hunting trip. I run into the forest, and come back out with three plump squirrels on my belt, and a rabbit in my hand. I go back inside,put my messer and bow and arrows Von the door, and place the kill in the kitchen. I tromp off to my room, where I fall fast asleep on my bett of straw.
