Prologue

? POV

"Are you sure we should do this?" I asked my sister again, my body tense with worry. My bad feeling hasn't gone away the last time we did this, and it's still here, but… she was right…. What choice do we have?

"We have to. Unless you and the rest of us want to die from starvation." She replied flatly, walking closer to the shop.

I can't believe she's been driven to this. Normally she would go on a rant about how we would never go so low to start stealing to get the things we need. Has… Has our situation really gotten this bad?

My sister's eyes were in downcast. "You know I would never do this unless our lives were on the line, right? We've gone with little food for weeks. We're starting to look like skeletons. We can never beat them if were skeletons," she hesitated, "…or dead."

I looked at the mark on my left shoulder and cringed at the memories it held. We're a disgrace…

I gulped. Despite knowing the consequences, I put on my disguise and took off anything that would give us away. I jogged to catch up with my sister, who was a few feet away from me, and nodded at her once we reached the entrance of the shop. She nodded back.

I set my hand aflame, feeling some resistance, and burned the front door of the shop to smithereens.
