An Unlikely Equilibrium | D8 Train Blitz | Jenoah/Kimmie

So it seems my sister is pleased with my invitation to destination death. For long I have known the jealously that has rippled inside of her because of my position in the family business, I still ponder on why father chose me as the prodigy and not her, she is far more suited for the job than me. Caimile’s head is more in the game than my own, while mine is far above the clouds, trying to escape from the rope that my father has wrapped tightly around me. I am just a bird with no flight…a wild cat with no fight…

As soon as my family left that dismal room, the room that was slowly swallowing me up…which I wish it did, I was hauled into the train, my journey beginning now.

I never glanced once at my District partner when we were exhibited on that stage, her name is not familiar to me, her family is likely not in debt to mine…thankfully.

Gripping the edge of the carriage’s table, my eyes fix on the window as the train jolts forwards. This may be the last view that I get of my home, I best store a memory as I may well need to be reminded of home while I am in that arena.

District Eight’s unlucky performances in the game has left me and Kimmie without a guide, nobody in the train truly knows what we are in for and I’d rather block the escort’s excruciating rambles. ”So it’s just me and you then.” My gaze moves to the girl as District Eight slowly becomes a distant land that I am unlikely ever to revisit.

”We’ve got this whole train journey to help each other, I won’t mind if you find someone else when we get to the Capitol. But for the sake of District Eight, we need to figure something out.”
