Hi Fanfiction Universe! This is my very first fic! Please comment so I know how I'm doing and if I should continue writing about River! Rated M for mentions of Sex and future blood, gore, and violence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Getting Home~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
River Wixs awoke to the sound of tree falling, a familiar sound in district seven. She slowly got out of her small bed, quietly walking over to her window to open the old curtains to see the sun peeking just above the tree line. She then went into her small bathroom and splashed some water onto her freckled filled face. "Last one Rivie last one" she said to herself staring into the cracked mirror. A week from today she'll be nineteen and free from the horror the capital put on the Districts. If only her birthday was a week sooner. She then pulled her long dirty blond hair int a bun, letting the shorter pieces fall to her chin. Walking back into her room she pulled out her favorite pale purple button down sleeveless dress and a pair of ripped leggings. Walking to the kitchen she then looked in the cover to her dismay finding only a half a dozen spotted eggs left and less then a quarter of a bag of oatmeal. "I should've thrown my name in a couple more times" she said to herself in regret she really could've used those rations right now. Preparing what she had left she put 2 portions into her small basket. "Mommy can I have chocolate ships in my oatmeal" came a small voive from behind. "Of course you can have Chocolate "ships" in your oatmeal." She said to the small brown haired blue eyed boy. The boy that was her son.
It was a little over three years ago, her brother Aris and his wife Juniper had just had their first of many miscarriages. Their parents had just died from a horrible outbreak of malaria and they needed food and Juniper needed medical attention. A "peace keeper" made River a deal one weekend with him and a month of rations and medical treatment for Juniper. She felt she had no choice. She regrets nothing escepcially Nole,the little boy she believes saved her from suicide.
She picked up the small bowl and placed the special chocolatey treat on the little boys oatmeal. "Now eat up we have to bring breakast to Aunt Juniper and Uncle Aris" she said as she kissed his head. After breakfast she dressed Nole in is favorite train t-shirt and a pair of overals. They began to walk out the door and the little boy quickly ran back in to retrieve his small stained teddy bear.
The walk to her brothers house was even more grim then usual, she looked inside the windows of the small rundown homes as she walked past, only to see children eating what they all think might be their final meal int heir homes with their families. She held her little boys hand tighter as she continued to walk. "Uncle Aris" Nole yelled as he ran into his tall blond haired brown eyed uncle. "How's my favorite nephew doing he said as he gave him a tickle" Nole simple just giggled "How about you go inside and give Aunt Juny a big hug and kiss" He said as he set him down "Ok he yelled then ran inside tripping slightly over the pant leg if his overalls. " Is that breakfast I sme-" "Please tell me you and June will take care of him no matter what happens" She said interrupting him and thenwrapping her arms around him. "Rivie nothin's going to happen to you" He said as he hugged her back " Your not going to get reapped" "You don't know that for certain" He didn't say a word back.
