The Hunt ~ Open

[Leopard]

A small blanket of fog covered the thick forest in District 6. The sun was just coming up making the world look gray and dul without any color. The birds were not even up, it was to early. Not to early for Whitney and her best friend Munchie. The two were out hunting for food, and to sell back in town. With her bow in hand, knife on her belt, and a quiver on her back with over a dozon bows. On Munchie's back was a dog backpack that Whitney made for Munchie out of deer leather. Inside his backpack were spare arrows, a little food and water, and a sharping stone for her knife.
Whitney stopped when she found tracks, knelling down to check how fresh. It was farily new, and it was a lone deer wondering. By the size of the track it was only over a year old. Getting up, she snapped slightly to let Munchie it was time to track it down. Munchie placed his black we nose on the ground and began to pick the sent up. He bagan to trot towards the smell of the deer. Whitney picked her bow off the ground, and began to run along side of him. Munchie was all she had after her mom passed. Whitney found him abounded on day and took him home, and gave him loves. From then on they were both friends for life.
Whitney could tell we were getting near the kill beacuse the way her dog was acting. His fur on his spine rose on his back and he was making a face that she can no explain beacuse it was to funny to Whitney.
Stopping 50ft before the prey. Seeing a bush Whitney can crawl under. Getting placed, she raised her bow, and got aim. Pulling the string back, whisling, Munchie got ready to spring to help in the hunt. Then a deep breath, and the arrow goes into its chest not getting its heart. Once the arrow left the bow, Munchie sprung up and tackled the beast to the ground, clamping on its throat, slowling draining what life was in it.
Smiling she, "Good job Munchie!". Munchie turned his head and had a look on his face of happieness and jumped and tackled his beloved owner. "You're such a good boy, Munchie!" she began to pet Munchie behind the ear. Then Munchie took his mouth and began to chew on Whitney's arm. "Oh you wanna play that way do yah?!" Whitney shotted and tacked her dog like he did. Then the two got into a playful war between the two near there kill.

The woods were the only place I could release my anger without hurting anybody. I could through my knifes at a target for hours and not hurt anybody. Then I heard a snap. It wasn't that far from me. So I stooped took my knife and walked slowly over to where I heard the noise.

There was a girl and her dog. Then they left the spots they were at. The girl had a bow. Surly if she was a good shot she could hit my with an arrow. I followed them but in the background so I would not trigger her dogs "stranger" alert. I saw her shot her arrow at the deer and her dog attack it's neck.

They are a powerful team I will tell you that. Not somebody I would want to mess with. When they started to play I put my knife away and, while still hiding, said"Wow aren't you two loud."



((sorry its storming and if the power goes out i dont want my post to be gone. I will fix it when i get back))

Munchie and Whitney rolled in the dirt having fun. But always her bow was in reach, plus the knife in her belt was used for everything. Having a huge smile on her face, Munchie wiggled out of her grip and went behind her and pulled her hair out of it's pony-tail style. Whitney grined and laughed, then a voice came out from the froest, it was definatley human.
Snapping around graping her bow and slidding an arrow from the quiver, she pointed to the exacted spot the voice came from. Munchie had his hair on his pack rise, and he began to snarl. Whitney did a low whisle that told her friend to keep quite. Munchie lowered his head but still looked ready to attack.
Speaking in a low tone. "Whitney, District 6." Pulling the string back ready to fire. "Whome are you, reveal your self stranger."

OOC: I thought she was in D6 seeing as your first post xD

"If you were from District 6 you would know me as The voice, but because you aren't my name Is Andrew. I'm not come out until you put down your bow."It was true. Until she put the bow down I was not coming out. I hate bows I hate them. They are just another killing weapon.

Scence all of my anger was gone for the month it was time to be nice. Oh how I hate being nice. I hate it I hate it. Being nice is not my thing but it sure got me as far as I am now.

[Leopard]

Looking at Munchie who looked at Whitney with his brown eyes. Nodding to him, Whitney lowered her bow, and taking the arrow out of it placking it back in the quiver. Placeing the bow next to her just in case, her hands were off the bow but close enought just in case of attack.
Whitney did not know many people who lived in the same district 6. She hunted to eat, and to pay for things, and did her own thing on her own. Not many people talked with her even before he mom passed. And when the Capitiol took her sister, the town sean her as a weirdo or crazy. So Whintey stayed in the house her mom left behind, and stayed in the forest.
"The bow is down, and on the ground." Whitney spoke. She snapped twice and Munchie began to relax but still protective. "The dog is okay to." When the boy said his name, Andrew did ring a small bell in the back of her read, his parants work in the hostiple and he works at the diner. Keeping her eyes locked on the spot where this Andrew was, she waited tence ready for anything.

I got up slowly when I saw her but her bow down. My knife was in the back of my pants so all I had to do was reach back there to take it out. I think I could chuck my knife faster then she could shot an arrow. HA something to find out if we ever got chosen as tributes.


((sorry its short.))

Whitney watched as this boy stood up. His hair almost as red a blood, and a 'cute' baby face. Watching every movment he made, she held her hand down by her side, and Munchie's head touched it. She wasn't sure about his boy called Andew. She dosn't trust anyone since her mom's death and her sister taken away.
The young girl looked at him and wondered if he wanted to attack or was just a friendly face in the wood. "What you doing in this part of the forest." she asked in a kind manner, and stepped back. She them remeber that she had a kill she needed to tend it. Smiling at the memory of the kill, she pulled her knelled down to Munchie's level. "Come here boy" she said in a kind tone. Reaching into her dog's backpack she pulled out some rope, and began to build a harness for Munchie. Once done, she looked at the boy waiting for a reply.

What am I doing in this part of the woods. Ha I should be asking her that. I see she is hunting so I can't ask her that."I should be asking you that my dear. But I see you hunting so I can't. What am I doing here? Simply. Ever heard of a person who would bottle up all of their anger and then one day release it?"

OOC: He answered her question with a question xD

[Leopard]

Listing to his words about bottleing up there emeotions, and then letting them out one day, Whitney understood that. Whitney has her good days and bad days, and the forest is a great place to vent. Whitney knew it was illegal, and she didn't want to tell him that but he already saw the kill.
"I understand what you're doing, your venting. And me, I am hunting to survive and make a little money to stay a flot." she began to trail off at the end. Turing around, she scanned the area for logs, and when she found enought, she made a pallet for the kill to be on so the wood would be harmed and latter on as winter fire wood. Whisling for her dog, he trotted over and she tied the ropes to the wood. Saying to Munchie "Stand, Stay."
Walking over to the deer she grippd a leg and pulled in on to the wood. Smiling she looked at her dog. Looking at Andrew she bowed nicely to him, "Im Whitney Vieira, my mother was Tammylynn Vieira."

"I knew I knew you form somewhere. Now I know. Its good to see you again. Not at the diner. I hate that place so much. I may have a good voice but I'm not going to be singing forever. My dad wants me to volunteer for the games. Bring more pride into our family's name. Like I'm ever going to win."

[Leopard]

"I don't like the games and there meaning behind it. To be honest, my mom was scared to death that me or my sister was going to be a tributes." Whitney looked at her feet. "I hate the capitol for taking my sister, if I find out she is going to be in the Games, I'm taking her place." Munchie looked at Whitney as he understoond. Whitney hated the Games, and the point, she was more scared if she couldn't bring her only true friend.
"I think if your father wants you to bring honor to your family, tell him that you will do it in your own way, and not the way he wants." Whitney spoke proudly. Whitney did everything she could for her mother and sister and Tammylynn's last words to Whitney were 'Im so proud of you'. A tear came to Whitney's eyes as she remebered the sad but lovely memory of her mother.
"I'm good with a bow, just I never killed a person, just game so I can live." she said softly. "I live on my own with Munchie." Whitney didn't feel like she needed to tell Andrew who the dog was beacuse he is the only dog around so she said Munchie and let him put the clues together. "Have you ever hunted before?" Whitney asked.

"yes once about two days ago. Chucked my knife at a rabbit lost my knife but killed the rabbit. Gave us food till today."I sighed. This girl was cute but. I looked like I belonged in the capitol. I mean my hair is almost orange and I sing like I should be one of the capitols show people. I tried to find this girl's gaze but she was so focused on her dog I couldn't.

[Leopard]

Feeling sorry for Andrew, she looked at him with a smile on her face, "Well I am gonna have some spare meat that I can give to your family. I am living with Munchie and we're not straving. And the meat that I do store will go bad evenly. Give it to someone I know will use it." Whitney didn't want to sound like she was giving hand outs but she wass telling the truth.
Looking at the deer she smiled agian, she was happy she got the kill. "If you wanna come over to my house I can cut up some of it for you, I live in the forest. Mother loved it and had a house made away from the town but close enough." She offred. Hoping that Whitney made a new friend. Getting her hair tire, she pulled her hair back and put it back in a pony-tail. "Sorry if I am more fouced on Munchie, he is like the only friend I have." she said bowing her head to him.

[aliciamusa]

me talking

Wow her only friend was a dog. Why didn't she come to school. I would have been her friend. She is cute, and I think nice because she is willing to give me some of her meat from the deer she killed. "Why did you never go to school. Well I never saw you if you did. Because if you did go to school I would have been your friend." I said that while I blushed.

[Leopard]

Whitney looked at the ground when she spoke, "I did before my mother and my sister were taken. In school, I was that kid who wore hoodies and baggy clothing, kind of looked like a boy. And when mother got sick, someone needed to provide food on the table, and my grandfather left me his bow. And then been on my own since, and I can't leave Munchie alone when he was a pup when I found him." But Whitney was smart enought to live on her own, most others don't know how, but Whitney learned at a young age beacuse of her mother. She could tell that Andrew was shocked that her only friend was Munchie.
"So is that a yes on the meat then?" she asked. "Oh are you hungry? I got some rabbit jerkey in the backpack on Munchie."
