EVE'S POV

I pulled out my book of plants from my backpack.

"You can eat these," I said pointing to some red berries on a scraggly bush. "Just don't take them all, because if you do, there won't be any seeds to grow next year."

"What about these?" asked Eli looking at the berries on a bush a few feet away from mine. I walked closer. When I saw the berries, my eyes widened.

"No! that's nightlock! You'll die before it even reaches your stomach!" I said, quoting the plant book.

"Oh," said Eli, dropping his hand.

"It's fine, just as long as you don't eat it," I said.

"Peacekeeper!" hissed Vivian. All of us straightened and just stood there until the Peacekeeper passed us.

"Maybe we should go," I said.

"Yes, we should," Vivian and Eli both agreed.

We carefully picked up the backpack, which had some berries and roots in it. Not too many though, because of course there weren't many plants in District 5. We walked back to the house. We all ate the few plants that we had gathered and waited for midnight to come.

"Ready?" I asked. Vivian nodded, determination in her eyes. Eli nodded and looked around nervously. We all crept up to the shop.

"You remember what I told you right?" They nodded and repeated what Finch and I had told each other the first time that we had stolen something. I chocked back a sob at that memory.

As Eli kept watch Vivian and I crept into the store. Vivian grabbed a loaf bread and shoved it into the backpack. We walked out of the store and were about to run, just as a Peacekeeper passed. We all sucked in our breath. The penalty for stealing was death.

"Who's there?" he yelled. , as he looked around. We all slowly crept backwards until we were out of eye and ear shot. Then we ran back to the house, fear in our eyes.

"Everyone okay?" I asked shakily. Vivian and Eli nodded.

"How long will this bread last us?" Eli asked "Because I don't want to do that again for a long time," he said. I looked at the piece of bread. It was pretty big and and had bits of fruits and nuts in it.

"This should last us all about a week and a half," I said. Eli and Vivian let out their breath, relieved.

"Thank goodness," said Vivian. "We should hide this bread."

"Do we have any good hiding places?" I asked.

"There are a few loose floorboards," said Vivian.

"Great," I said. We walked into the one other room and pulled up some floorboards. We put the backpack under it and closed the boards.

"When we do that again, we need to be more careful," said Eli, shaking a little. We nodded in agreement.

"Tomorrow the tributes should be getting to the Capitol," I said out loud.

"Great, just one more day closer to being forced to watch people kill each other," said Vivian, sarcastically. "We should sleep. It's been a long day," she told us.

"Sure," Eli and I said.

I closed my eyes, thinking about how I had already made new friends since Finch had been Reaped. Listening to the propaganda that the teachers told us was better with Eli making sarcastic comments next to me. Finch was never in any of my classes. Sleeping was easier, having warm bodies net to me. Everything, I realized was better with friends and allies. I hoped that Finch would realize the same thing.

WAS IT GOOD? TELL ME HOW YOU LIKE VIVIAN AND ELI! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
