Reading Journal Week 6 - Strange Conversations/Flash Fiction

          "Why do you look exactly like me?" we all say at the same time. Then we all just stare.
          The girl in white breaks the silence, "My name is Cassia, what's yours?"
          "Katniss." I say
          "Tris."The girl in black says.
          "Can you stop pointing that gun at us? We don't want to hurt you." says Cassia to Tris.
          "Only if she puts down her bow." she replies, talking about me. Then Cassia looks at me like I should do it. I reluctantly put down my bow and Tris does the same with her gun.
          "Who are you, where are you from, and how did you guys get here?" I ask.
          "I used to be Abnegation, but I transferred over to Dauntless." Tris says.
          "What's Abnegation and what's Dauntless?" Cassia says.
          "You don't know the faction system? Who are you people anyway? This doesn't make sense, our whole government is based on factions and you don't know what they are?" says Tris. "Are you guys working together, against me. To win me over?"
          "Win you over to what? And for your information, we don't even know each other." Cassia and I said, again at the same time.
          "This is starting to get creepy, we're saying the same things at the same time." we all said.
          "There, we did it again!" I said.
          "And who are you supposed to be?" they both asked me.
          "I'm from district 12, I won the Hunger Games and became the inspiration of the rebellion." I replied
          "Finally, something familiar, a rebellion. But what doesn't make any sense is that I'm the inspiration of the rebellion, not you, I don't even know who you are." says Tris
          "I was just going to say the same thing." says Cassia.
          We look at her and say. "You're the leader of a rebellion too?"

Reading Journal Week 5 - Strange Conversations/Flash Fiction

    I woke up and looked around me. I was in a torch lit stone room. It smelled musty and the ground squished under my feet. I paced the room, thinking of how I got here and how to get out. Then all of a sudden I hear screaming and then, bam, two figures fell into the room I was in, just barely missing me because of the close quarters. The figures were out cold.
          They were both girls, one was wearing all black and had a gun in her hand and the other was wearing all white and had something that looked like a compass in her hand. This reminded me that I still had my bow and arrows. That gave me the comfort of self defense just in case the girl in black decided to use her gun.
          The girl in white stirred and her eyes blinked open. She frantically searched for the compass she was holding and when she realized she had it all along, she relaxed. Then she noticed me for the first time and asked, "Who are you?"
          "Well, that depends on if you're willing to tell me who you are and why you're here." I respond.
          "Ok, my name is-"
          The girl in black stirred which made us look her way, then her eyes opened with a start.
          "What did you do to Tobias? Where is he?!" she yells, pointing the gun at us.
          "I don't know what you're talking about." both the girl in white and me say at the same exact time. We look at each other with weird expression on our faces. Then it hits me, both the girl in white and the girl in black looked exactly the same. And even weirder, they both looked like me, except that I had brown hair and they had blond.

Reading Journal Week 4 - Strange Conversations/Flash Fiction

           I walk toward my old house. I was supposed to meet Gale here, just to talk, about the old days. About the days before Prim's name was picked I walk into my house and find that Gale is not inside yet. I look around my house remembering when I lived here and how hard life was. Was it really a year ago? Time flies when you're safe.
          I go to the kitchen and open up a cupboard. Inside, is a sheath of arrows and my prized bow. The Bow was crafted by me and made in the image of my dad's. It's beautiful... All of a sudden, I feel a gust of wind. It's different though, like something is inside the room with me. I turn around expecting to see Gale standing at the door, but instead, I see a glowing purple orb. I instinctively raise my bow toward the strange object. It glowed beckoning me to come to it. I couldn't resist. I eventually stopped trying to resist. It pulled me in, there was a white flash and I heard myself yelling, then everything was still.

Reading Journal Week 3 - Fan Fiction

          As I walk away from the house, I look around me just to make sure no one is following me and I dash around a corner and into an alley. I creep behind a dumpster and feel for a handle. I pull the handle and a door slides open. I walk inside what was called the Hob.
          "Hey Gale!" said Greasy Sae, "What have ya got for us today?"
          The room wasn't fancy, but it had the smell of an amazing restaurant. People were sitting around the bar drinking whiskey and talking loudly.
          "Nothing much, just a rare wild dog!" I said, excited.
          "A dog?! Seriously? We haven't had one for over a year, how'd you kill it?"
          "It was just stuck in one of my traps."
          "That's it? That seems too easy..."
          "I know, that's what I thought."
          "Oh well, I'd better get the pots boiling, 'cause were having dog stew tonight!"
          I walked farther into the room and sat at the bar next to a guy a couple years older than me named Darius.
          "Any luck with the girl?" he said.
          "Who, Katniss?" I asked, surprised.
          "Yeah, who else would I be talkin 'bout."
          "She doesn't bring any romantic things up when we're out hunting. It seems like she doesn't want to get married, like ever."
          "If you were as awesome and attractive as me you would be fine getting her to marry you."
          "Are you-- Y-you're trying to get my girl!" I yelled, mad.
          "No, I-"
          "Don't make up any excuses, I-I'll show you who she'll fall for, just wait and see!"
          I stormed out of the Hob and walked back home, but not before checking up on Katniss.

Reading Journal Week 2 - Fan Fiction

          I walked through the woods with bow in hand and a sheath on my back. I had set trapps earlier and am now waiting for animals to be trapped in them. It was more boring than usual because Katniss was at home sick and she (finally) let her mom take care of her for a little while. It was a shame really, it was such a nice day to go hunting. As I wait for animals to be trapped, I pick berries for the Mayor.

          I've waited long enough. I thought. I should check the traps.

          I walk toward my first trap and find a squirrel, I stuff it into my pack. The second trap has nothing in it, which is odd. Maybe I should put it in a different spot next time, the animals probably got used to it being there already. I walked to my third trap and was surprised to see a wild dog! I haven't caught one in ages... I picked it up and stuffed it halfway into my bag because it was too big to fit.
          I walked back to the fence of district 12, my home. I walked to a tree and but my bow and arrows in a bush beside the tree. I crawl between the broken wires of the fence and walk down the street. I walk to the mayor's house and leave the wild berries in front of the door. Next door is the baker's house, I knock on the door and give him the squirrel. He quickly grabs the squirrel and stuffs it into his own bag, afraid of being seen by his monster of a wife. His son Peeta waves to me from the corner of the room.
          As I walk away from the house, I look around me just to make sure no one is following me and I dash around a corner and into an alley.
