The bumps in the road made this trip to District 3 uncomfortable, sitting in the back of the vechile with no light but every so often a sharp object would dig into my thigh. Light creep through a small crack in the large vechile doors, where were we. I gulped feeling the vechile finally stop, I press my ear to the side of the vechile wall listening to what was happening. I hear the peacekeepers jump out onto the gravel and walk towards the vechile door. The doors are slid open, the bright, harsh sunlight beams into my holding area. I look area to see the sharp object was actually a nail, I glance at my thigh to see blood streaming down my leg. The peacekeepers smile at me
"Hurt yourself, did you?" one said crossing his arms, I narrow my eyes
"How much longer till we're in District 3?" I hiss.
"We're here, want to take a look?" another peacekeeper asks, I slowly crawl to the edge and jump from the back of the vechile to see a camp with barbwire fences twice as tall as me lining the camp. People wearing almost rags walk slowly around, some holding boxes full of computer wires and fully made computers. I almost feel bad for them, but after District 13 was killed before my very eyes I know they have a better deal then those who died.
"Where will I live?" I asked looking around the dry, barren place I had arrived at
"With a family of course" a peacekeeper answers before smiling "Come on let's go" he said grabbing me by the arm and dragging me in the camp. Everyone in District 3 seems to be staring at me like I'm food. The peacekeeper takes me to a small wooden shack that looks like it was made by the people who lived in it, the peacekeeper knock on the door gently twice. The door flung open to reveal a small little girl, oh how she reminded me of my little sister, she was maybe 11 at the most, with long messy brown hair, and eyes that matched. Her eyes widened as she saw the peacekeeper that was next to me
"Mummy!" she screamed running back into the house, suddenly a woman appeared. She obviously put her children first, since she was skin and bones. Pale, skinny her hair blonde almost like straw. She narrowed her eyes at the peacekeeper
"What do you want?" she hissed
"We have someone for you to look after" the peacekeeper murmured glancing at me, suddenly the little girl came over hiding behind her mother
"What is she?" the woman growled protecting her daughter
"District 13, the only one left" the peacekeeper answered
"Why save her?" the woman asked crossing her arms
"That is none of your business" the peacekeeper hissed
"Fine, I look after her" the woman said uncrossing her arms to grab my hand and pull me over to her.
"Thank you, ma'm. We'll do monthly check ups" the peacekeeper said before giving the woman an envelope and walking away. The woman slammed the door
"Scum" she muttered under her breath.
"Mum, who was at the door!" I hear a male voice call out
"Can you come here Isaac" the woman said, suddenly I see the owner of the voice. A tall boy, with light blonde hair like his mother and dark brown eyes, he was maybe fifteen. He stops when he sees me, he crosses his arms
"Who's this?" he hisses. The woman sighs turning to me
"What's your name?" she asks me, I gulp I know this boy already hates me.
"Irisa Stremstand" I say trying to stay as confordent as possible,
"Isaac this is Irisa, Irisa this is Isaac my son and Sabrina my daughter" the woman says. I nod
"It's nice to meet you" I whimper to the boy, the boy merely nods
"What is she doing here?" he asks turning to his mother
"She's from District 13" the woman answers
"The District they blew up?" Isaac questions looking at me,
"After they murdered everyone they could find" I murmur. Isaac nods
"So she's ours now?" Isaac questions, the womans nods
"Yes, treat her like your sister". Isaac hesistate before nodding
"Okay". Suddenly my eyes are drawn to the envelope that was given to the woman
"What's that?" Isaac asks pointing to the envelope, I shoot a glance at Isaac, he looks at me "What, it's kind of obvious that it's important since the Capitol stamp sealing it" Isaac explained. His mother sighed
"It's probably just some agreement" she said opening the letter, she began to read it her eyes widening as she did. She slammed down the letter falling to the ground in tears.
