I WISH THAT I WAS SUZANNE COLLINS BUT I'M NOT :( SO I OWN NOTHING!

EVES POV

I sat outside in the rain. I was too sad to move. There was no one to talk to. No one to make jokes with. I sighed. I missed Finch.

The next day, the Reaping was played in the main square. I looked at all of Finches competition. There were two menacing tributes from District 2.

I saw Finch volunteer for me and I choked back a sob. The people around me looked at me sympathetically. I looked at the ground.

There was a little girl from District 11. She was too young to die. I tried not to cry. I was disgusted that the Capitol would put such young people in an arena to kill each other.

From district 12, a girl volunteered for her little sister. She reminded me so much of Finch. She looked so brave but she tried to hide her fear. Her sister screamed and yelled as a boy carried her away.

I snapped. I burst out crying. I sobbed and sobbed not caring who saw. I sank to the ground. All of the memories that Finch and I had made came flooding back to me. Some strong arms lifted me up. I sobbed until I opened my eyes. I was in the house of someone that I didn't know. A boy and a girl stood over me.

"Are you okay?" asked the girl.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I sniffed. "Who are you people?"

"I'm Vivian," said the girl. "And that's my brother Eli." I recognized Eli. He was in some of my classes.

"I'm Eve," I said.

"We know, we saw you at the Reaping," said Eli.

"Oh, right," I said.

"Well, it was nice meeting you," I said, getting up to leave.

"Wait, no, you need to stay!" said Vivian.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you seem to not have anyone other than that girl who got reaped, Finch, that cares at all about you," she replied. A lump formed in my throat at the mention of Finches name.

"But you have nothing to eat! I'll just be another mouth to feed!" I said.

"It's fine, really," said Eli. "We don't have parents, but Vivian is eighteen so we have to live on our own. We also have the tesserae. "

"Oh, do you work at the power plant?" I asked Vivian.

"Yeah," she said, shaking her head sadly.

"How much food do you have?" I asked.

"Enough," said Vivian simply.

"I also have the tesserae," I said.

"I also can steal," I said, then clapped my hand over my mouth.

"You can steal?" asked Eli. "You can help us get so much more food!"

"I can also recognize edible plants," I said.

"You'll be very useful," said Eli.

"We should get some sleep. You two need to get to school tomorrow, and I have to leave for work early in the morning," said Vivian.

Vivian and Eli had taken me in without even knowing me. As I went to sleep on the floor next to them, I wondered if maybe I had found people who would care about me.

DO YOU CHILDREN LIKE VIVIAN AND ELI? SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTERS! DON'T BE AFRAIN TO PM ME! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
