A whirl against wood and a scraping thump made Robin's head jerk up from where she was. Following the sound to around the back of a house Robin rasied her eyebrows as she saw Clove.
Throwing knives.
Not at a person of course. The wall.
Yeah.

I walk over to get my knives and look up to see Robin. "hi. What are doing up so early?" it was around 7 am and I didn't expect her to be up.

"In District Nine," she said quickly, hands behind her back. "We'd always get up before dawn. Best part of the day. So quiet... The Sun looked so beautiful, even behind the smog."

Katniss walks out of the small house, her bow slung over her shoulder. "Clove, any holes you make, you fix. I mean it." She tugs her father's hunting jacket up onto her shoulders, her feet already encased in the soft leather of her boots.

She nods. "Good. I'm going hunting. There's a blackberry patch in the Meadow that should have fruit. You guys wanna come?"

Robin lit up, she liked helping out. Kept her busy. "Yes, please!" She chirped.

"Come on, then. It's a bit of a walk." Taking a basket from a hook on the side of the house, she hands it to the younger girl.

"I'll come too." I grab my sweatshirt and follow them.

She awkwardly hobbles beside Katniss, her face flushing slightly with embaressment. But her heart swelled that Katniss wanted her to help.

She strides ahead, her steps silent on the cobblestones. Years of hunting had sharpened her senses, enabling her to hear the slightest sound. Today is no exception.
The three arrive at the fence, and Katniss pauses, listening for the electricity. They are in luck. She walks to her usual spot, and slips under.

Dropping to her knees, Robin slid under the fence slowly before getting awkwardly to her feet to stand beside Katniss as Clove slid through.

I walk further down to the opening guarded by a guard. I slipped behind him and into the meadow.

"This way." She blends into the trees, not disturbing a twig, nor rustling a leaf. She stops, flinging out one arm to bar the others. Her hands work deftly, freeing a rabbit from a twitch-up snare. She shoves the carcass into her game bag, and resets the snare.

Her eyes followe Clove until she was out of sight-- further down the fence. Minutes later of silence she saw Clove appearing over the horizon. Unharmed.
She was suprised by the wave of relief she felt.
