Jason & Faye

"I'll teach you how to do it all, sweetheart. You'll get into the swing of things, as soon as we eat we'll start walking again."

I nodded. "Okay baby, that sounds good."

"Come with me, we'll set these and I have a net to catch fish in just incase the traps don't do well."

"Okay," I said and followed him out more into the woods. "Show me what the hell I'm supposed to do," I said and laughed a little.

I showed her to where to put the traps and how to set them, everything she needed to know "Understand better now?" I asked "I want you to learn everything."

I nodded. "Yeah I think I have it. I'll probably take me a few tries to get good at it. Let me see another one." We went to another spot and he handed me the trap. I knelt down and did my best to set it up. "Did I do okay?"

"It's perfect, you catch on fast. Come on, time to fish now."

I smiled and let him help me up. "I've never fished in my life."

"First time for everything." I smiled and took her hand leading her to the river I had found earlier while she was sleeping.

"So... what exactly do I do?" I asked when we got to the river and laughed a little. "I'm sorry baby, I'm completely clueless."

I showed her how to through the net and pull it in "Should be able to snag some trout, today."

I worked on throwing the net in and pulling it back in like he taught me. "You know, I don't mind this. This way of living I mean. It's really not that bad. Plus I have you, which really just makes everything perfect."

"It isn't so bad like this. In the lower districts they sold a lot of their catches to other people...like a black market deal." I said "Peacekeepers make life harder...and the Capitol. Without those two things life like this isn't bad at all."

"They thought by creating this society they were making everything better... at least that's what they preached. But things are so much worse."

"Much...much worse." I said "I wish more could get out...live away from that place."

"Things are getting worse every day. I'm sure more will end up leaving."

"I hope they do...I worry about Megan but she won't leave her students."

"She's a very caring person. But there's a point where you can be... too caring. I don't mean anything bad by that, I just don't want anything to happen to her."

"I should have said goodbye but...I didn't want her to know anything. If she doesn't know then she can't lie."

I nodded and leaned against him. "You'll see her again someday baby. I promise," I said and kissed him softly.

"I know I will, I hope she gets smart and leaves that damn place soon."

"So do I. I just want her and everyone we care about to be safe. Who knows if that will ever happen though."

"For now, we'll worry about ourselves." I told her and we spent a few more hours fishing. We caught a few and it's a thing because the traps were empty "Fish for dinner it is."

"Fish is good. Now are you going to teach me how to cook over a fire?" I asked, smiling at him. "It'll have to be a small fire though, I don't want anyone to find us."

"Good call." I said and showed her the essentials of making a fire. Afterwards I taught her how to skin a fish.
