SKYE DANTEA

Xx__xX

-------------------------------------------

Skye, I'm at a meeting with a client from the Capitol. I might be home late. There's left over broth if you get hungry. -Mum

Her eyes scanned the words on the small note paper on the fridge and yet Skye felt nothing. Words were the only way she could convey a sense of emotion, and yet, here there was nothing. Skye reached out and tore the paper down, crumpling it in her hand and tossing it onto the ground without a second thought.

To the residents of District 7, Skye and her mother put on the act of a loving family who was coping with the tragedy that occurred a year ago by supporting one another. In reality though, Skye wouldn't even look her mother in the eye anymore. Not after finding out she had an affair. Not after that information led to the death of her little brother Zane and led to the arrest of her elder brother Carev.

Skye stood over the kitchen table, dumping out everything from her book bag save for her notebook, and a large black marker. She was going into town today to do some shopping, but after a while, you realize that literally none of the merchants understood sign language. Skye threw her bag over her shoulder and scurried on with her long legs out of her place.

It was just a little after noon which meant she had plenty of time before the merchants began to close up shop. But Skye was an impatient girl. She wanted to simply get it over with and return to her mundane life that consisted of ignoring her mother, going to school, and watching all the tributes prepare for the newest set of games.

Instead of walking through the streets like a normal District resident, Skye scaled the first building that crossed her path. She dug her fingers into the nooks and holes and crawled up the wall like a spider until she reached the roof. From then on, she began sprinting across the roof tops like she was some wild animal simply jumping from tree to tree in the surrounding forests.

The only thing that could stop her was if the Peace Keepers saw her. They were a little touchy about having people jumping on roof tops and all. But even if she did get caught, she didn't care about what punishment they had planned for her.

This was where she belonged. With her head in the clouds.

[OOC: This is my first actual rp in the last year so I might be a little rusty >_<]

--Jason Turpronim--
"May I please have one piece of bread?" I ask the baker. He nods, and then hands a piece of bread to me. I snatch it from him, and then hand him some money. I turn back to go home when I see someone jumping from building to building. I know her I immediately think. Who is she? Oh yes, she is the architect's daughter. I believe she is deaf-mute. Why is she jumping from building to building? Doesn't she know the peacekeepers will punish her for that? I am very surprised the people around me don't even notice her. Good, I think, This way they won't be able to report her to the peacekeepers. I try to wave my hands up and down to get her attention, and then I point to the ground, trying to motion to her to get off. I know if I yell she won't hear, and all I will get is attention, so I keep on repeating my 'get off the roof of that building' motion. Does she know she is breaking the law?

Evanessi stared, so wishing she could be there, jumping from building to the next. Her parents would severely punish her. They were very pro-capital; they were the ones who bet on the tributes. She watched someone try to signal the girl, and she shook her head. She sees a peacekeeper come their way. Evan ran. She could not afford having anyone who knew her parents catching her. She ran hard, her combat boots hitting the ground. Unfortunately, she wasnt fast enough. The Peacekeeper grabbed her by the waist. She fought back. She kicked. She punched, but all she achieved was a few stares. He pulled her back, and she caught the attention of a few more people. She acts as if she gave up. then she spun, and with a swift motion, kicked the Peacekeeper in the jaw. Then she ran into the large crowd, hoping to blend in. But, when you are short, shorter than most with short red hair, it's hard to blend.

I see a girl who I believe I have seen before... but I can't remember when. She has red hair and is quite short. She shakes her head at me... I guess thinking I am pro capital or something like that because I am trying to get the architects daughter down, but I really am just trying to prevent the architects daughter from getting in trouble. All the sudden a peacekeeper comes into my sight. She tries to run away, but the peacekeeper grabs her. She starts fighting with the peacekeeper, but she isn't very successful because he already has grabbed her. I want to help her, but I can't really do much. A crowd surrounds her, just watching her. I want the crowd to do something about it, but they just stand there staring. They couldn't really do much anyways... Just as I think the girl has given up, and so has the crowd and peacekeeper, she turns around and kicks him in the jaw. He seems hurt as the girl runs into the crowd. I see her trying to act normal and blend it, but it doesn't seem to work. I find her in the crowd and whisper "Do you need help? You could stand behind me and I will walk normally out of this crowd, blocking your sight from anyone." I know I am not very big, but the girl is small enough to be hidden behind my back, at least I hope so.

"W-w-who, me?" Evan asks. She is tired at slightly suspicious of the boy, but she shrugs. "Sure. I'm Evan," She doesnt want to say her last name in case he has a grudge against her notoriously pro-capital family. "Civinge." She finishes. She winces as his eyes widen slightly. "I didnt-" She began, but then the crowd started to yell and scream. She turned, and she saw the girl jumping from building, laughing hysterically? No that cant be right. Evan's jaw dropped when she saw what she was reall doing.

"W-w-who, me?", the girl asks, most likely suspicious of me. Before I can respond she says "Sure. I'm Evan," Ahhhh.. that was her name...There's a silent pause, and then she says, "Civinge." Oh... my... god! That is one of the most pro capital families in District Seven. She doesn't seem pro Capital, especially just after beating up a Peacekeeper, but who knows. Her family reported many people to Peacekeepers, sending them to become an avox, or possibly murdered. I wince, as she says "I didn't-". Who knows what she was going to say, when she was interrupted by a screaming crowd. I wanted to see what was going on, but I knew we had no time. I saw the peacekeeper running through the crowd, slightly delayed by the passing crowd. Rather then saying anything, I jerkily grab her and force her behind my back. I whisper, "Stay quite... follow me as I walk out." As I did that I thought of my grandfather. The Peacekeeper looked like the man who sent away my grandfather. I always wonder who reported him, as he obviously wasn't caught red handed by a Peacekeeper. I shake my head out of the thought, giving Evan a second to reply.

"Okay, oh, and um, I'm not like them, promise." Evan sputtered in an attempt to apologise, but she was distracted by the frantic boy, along with the wild crowd. When the crowd, pushing andshoving separated them, she felt an intense need to know his name that came out of nowhere. She grabs the boy's arm, vut she isn't strong enough to drag him out of the sea of faces. He ducked around an arm that was flying through the air and he pulled her aside, away from the crowd. Breathing hard, Evan stood up. "Thanks," She muttered. Then she remembered the Peacekeeper. "Woods," She mouthed to him, and he understood. As they ran, she realized why the boy winced. "Your... grandfather?"

"Okay, oh, and um, I'm not like them, promise." Evan said before we started exiting the crowds. We separate for a moment, but then she grabs my arm again and catches up. I duck under a few waving hands of the ongoing crowd. When we were out of the crowds I noticed the peacekeeper looking for Evan in the wrong direction. I know it won't take too much more time before he found where she was, so we have to leave soon. She mutters thanks to me, and I nod and make a 'no problem' hand gesture. Then she mouthed "woods" too me, and immediately understood that she wanted us to run into the woods to hide. We immediately started running in the direction of the woods. While running, she all the sudden said, "Your... grandfather?" Wait! Was it... her family that reported my grandfather? And how would she know he was my grandfather. I don't think I've seen her before, except for maybe a few times at school. I keep running, not knowing how to respond. I decide to change the subject, just for a second, and say "My name is Jason... Jason Tupronim. Sorry I couldn't tell you it before. I was quite rushed.
