| I followed Lori, not quite sure where exactly she was leading me. Too much stress, worry, to loud in my head. I fall onto my knees for a second, and cover my ears. It feels as if a thousand voices are screaming in my head. Yelling things I don't understand. It's too dark in there, too dark and noisy. Maybe it'd be okay if I could understand any of it but I can't. I need to let this go. I need to. I need to let this go. I stand up and stumble ahead, catching up to Lori as she leads me through the meadows I follow without hesitation, and then she suddenly stops. I stop too, and watch as se picks up a bow. It look handmade, and I realize what she has for us in mind. We're going to shoot are worries away. I flash a small grin.
"This is more, I dunno how to describe it, so I'll just say more safe then burning things down. If love to try and shoot, but I'm pretty lousy at it as of right now." I carefully grab the bow from Lori, and he it up in a position I think is correct. "I'll do my best." As I begin to aim the bow, I ask Lori, "So what do I do now?" | |

| I listen carefully as Lori instructs me. I try to hold the position she put my arms in, it's quite comfy once I'm fully positioned. You won't look like a fool if you do it correctly. Don't question yourself now, you're a strong guy and it'd be silly if you failed with weapons. Why am I always trying to make myself stronger? I push all the gibberish away from my head. "I promise I won't break the string, the only things I break are bones." I say jokingly, hoping Lori wouldn't take it seriously. I easily pull the string back, past my elbow, past my shoulders, and to about my cheek. I steady the strings between my fingers like Lori said to, and aim the bow as well as I can towards the tree. Then without thinking, I let go. I watch as the bow flies through the air, and hits the tree with a thump. I grin, proud that I at least hit the tree instead having the arrow go who knows where. "Thanks." I say with a smile at Lori and let her take the bow from me.
I watch as Lori expertly take the bow in her hands and loads the arrow. She takes the bow and carefully lifts it, so delicately as if she lets go it would break in two. She pulls the bow up and aims for the tree. I watch as she lets go of the string, which was pulled back pretty far. I'm surprised it didn't break. But then I stand in awe, as the arrow hit the tree hits almost the dead center. "Wow, sweet shot." I say with a big smile towards Lori. After I shoot another shot, I turn to Lori. "It's getting kinda late." | |

| Lori let out a little chuckle after Griffin said the comment on breaking bones, "Wow Griffin you are the charmer. You know just what to say to get right to a girls' heart." He shot off another arrow and again hit the tree, He is pretty good at that, he must have had some practice. Lori thought as she watched him. He then mentioned that it was getting late and she nodded in agreement. "I'm gonna get one more shot in and I will walk with you." Lori pulled the bow up and readied the arrow aiming right towards the tree. That was when she saw it, a curious squirrel run across a branch on a tree further back and stop. She quickly readjusted her aim right for his heart. That would kill him, right? Gunnar used to be able to shoot them right in the eye, and instant kill and none of the meat was damaged by the arrow. Lori unfortunately was not that good of a shot. She let go of the arrow and it hit causing the poor critter to fall right off of his branch and onto the ground. She collected him and the few arrows the pair had shot and put those back into their quiver. She almost gently put the bow and quiver of arrows back into their hiding spot under the bush that Gunnar had chosen many years ago.
She stood next to Griffin as she stuffed the dead squirrel into the bag she had with her, she needed to hide her catch or else be faced with a whipping from the peacekeepers for using weapons. "Let us go shall we?" She started walking back towards District 12 and the depressing aura that seemed to cover it like the coal dust seemed to cover most everything. She turned towards Griffin once more and looked at him for a few moments before speaking, "If you ever need someone to talk to, I am here. I understand you and the rest of these people don't get it. Besides I don't get to talk about Gunnar much with anyone so I know how it is to keep it all in. You end up like me." She looked down for a moment her eyes for some reason refusing to look at the boy in front of her. "Anytime alright, I'm here for you I guess." She turned away from him and kept moving, Griffin and her were like war buddies. They had both seen something dark and it was only them that understood it; trying to tell the others were met with looks and glares. But they understood what each other had seen and in a way they had this common understanding much different from anyone else that was walking down the street. They had a connection that bonded them together, a common tie that no one else could understand. Yes, Lori knew that Griffin and her were more in common than anyone else she had met recently, and it was nice to know that there was someone out there that knew exactly what you went through. Even if it was something that may end in an instant like most things in life, it was nice to at least have it in that moment.
