Plunder Theft
"the night deceives us."
Until today, no one had ever stolen something from me. Usually, I was the thief. This time, however, I was the victim. The day of the reaping, every year, two individuals are stolen from their homes, their friends and their loved ones. This year, my family were the ones who had people ripped away from them. Auto and Larceny are my cousins, and now they're leaving. I'm confident that one of them will return, but I know that it's not possible for them both to, as only one emerges from the Hunger Games alive.
When Larceny volunteered to fight alongside his twin sister, my heart skipped a beat. I was ready to see Auto fight, win and return home, but knowing now that, with Larceny in there, too, only one of them could do those last two things- win and return home- I actually felt scared, and I was rarely one to ever feel any sort of fear in my life. Fear just wasn't something I was generally accustomed to, as a generally rather dauntless individual.
I hated that it had to be a Peacekeeper who let me into the room to see my cousins. I'd despised Peacekeepers pretty much my whole life, but I knew I couldn't fight them right now, nor show them any defiance, if I wanted to be able to say goodbye to my cousins. Therefore, for once, I cooperated with the Peacekeeper that escorted me to the room in the Justice Building that was my current destination. For at least one of my cousins, this was the last time I'd speak to them, and I wasn't going to ruin that by fighting with a Peacekeeper and being taken away, not being allowed to see the two of them.
That wouldn't be fair to Auto and Larceny, nor would it be fair to me. They didn't deserve to have their cousin make a scene just because she had a particular distaste for Panem's particular way of policing things in the Districts the citizens lived in. Therefore, I was cooperative, escorted to the room I'd asked to be taken to. When I arrived in the room, I saw my cousins, and I gave a gentle nod. A smile didn't cross my face, though, as I wasn't going to show them fake emotions. The Peacekeeper who'd escorted me there left, and I spoke to my cousins.
"Hey, kids," I said. "How're you feeling?"
