Abby Maine

[/i][/left]
Abby layed there in her bed. Sweat covered her, it was like swimming in her own sweat. She shivered because it sounded so gross. She sat up and looked over at her mini alarm clock. It read: Five fifty eight. Two minutes until her dad usually woke her up to do something. It was annoying how much stuff he made her do. Yester day it was catch a chicken, the day beofre it was get some water. And on the weekends its always to train. She hated how he didn't even help her. I mean it would be different if Mike was still here. She winced at the thought of his name.

They were best friends. He trained with her and did everything with her. She wanted to be just like him. She once thought she was in love with him. Then she relaized that sibilings can't date. It s illegal! What a wierdo she was when she wasn't in her double digits. She always wanted to be around him. When he went somewhere without her she cried and cried. Although that only happened once when he went out with a girl. She slapped the girl for "taking her brother away from her", oh yea right across the face. She broke up with Mike "for having a wierd family". Her dad was an abusive butcher... That was Mike and hers first fight. It only lasted an hour and they hugged it out. He was the nicest person she knew. With his blonde spikey hair. His tan skin and his very very tallness (tallness xD). She was really sad when he left for the mines. But he choose to, or dad did, she didn't know.

Abby was started when a knock on her do happened. She heard the irratating voice of her father: "Abby go get some water". Why can't he get his lazy butt up and get some?, Abby thought to herself. She rolled her eyes. "Yes father" Abby replied after she rolled her eyes. He told her to call him father instead of dad. Abby really hated her father, even though it is half is fault shes here. He didn't do anything for the family execpt work. Well I guess thats a good thing but still. He makes Abby do everything. He makes his wife cook. He makes Abby buy the things and sometimes catch them. And all he does is work at the stupid mines as a superviser. It does give him asthma witch is really bad. At least he gets to see Mike all the time.

Abby sighed and slowly got out of bed. Sweat dripped of her as she got out and went on the floor creating a puddle. Abby shivered a tthe sight of that. Ugh, it's such a hot summer!, Abby thought. She felt bad for the people in The Games. Half of then probably died of a heat stroke or thirst to death. She was so glad she didn't get picked this year. Shes been able to be reaped for two years now and thankfully she hasen't been picked yet. Abby walked over to her closet, it only took two steps, she had a tiny room, but thankfuly she has her own room. She opened it and grabbed a tank top and a jean skirt. Yes the two things fitting for such a hot day. She removed her pajamas which were long sleeves, which explained her sweatyness and put on the outfit on.

She opened the door and the light blinded her. She overed her eyes and started to walk forward. Then it happened, she ran smack into a wall. "OOF!" Abby yelped. She on covered her eyes and quickly got used to the light. Yea, that proves its really sunny outside today. The light is blinding and its only six o' five. Wow, what a day. She turned the corner and walked down the stairs and was automaticly greeted by her beautiful mother. "Honey, did you hurt youself up there, I heard a bump then an oof" Her mother said. Abby nooded no. It would be to emberassing to tell her mother she ran into a wall. "Mom, can I have a bagel?" Abbys mom nooded and walked over to a cabnet. She opened it and looked inside. She grabbed the bagels and went to the fridge. She frowned. "Sorry, honey were out of cream cheese, can you get some when your at the store?" Abbys mom said to her. Abby nooded and took the bagel.

She took a huge bite out of it and didn't even care it was plain bread. She had just this for dinner once, and it was good. She stretced her back and walked to the door. She grabbed her tennis-shoes and some socks. She put the socks on and removed her bedroom shoes. She put on her tennis shoes. She walked out the door and stood in the door way for a second. "I'm going mom" Abby yelled out to her mother. She pushed some hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. She set out for a long distance walk to the store.

***********

Abby was sweating, and sweating bad. She really needed water, she might even be dehydrated. That couldn't mean anything good. And there it was. A bench, out of no where she got enough strength to run to it. So she did so. She ran full speed to it and sat down. She smiled as her aching body started calming down. It felt amazing just to sit and rest. She laid her head back. And drifted off to a sleep.

She was startled when someone tapped her shoulder. She fidgeted as she started to wake up. The light blinded her again and she winced it pain. She looked to her left where hte source of the tapping came from. She couldn't see very well because she was still getting used to the light. She blincked a couple times and then she could see clearly. There was a girl sitting there. Abby couldn't tell the age but she had blonde hair and she was tan. She was taller than Abby which must have ment she was older. "Wake up, you're sweating buckets" The girl said. She laughed, the first time in a long time. Abby looked down and she was right. Thats pretty embrasssing. "Hi, I'm Abby. Whats your name?" Abby asked the blonde haired girl. She stuck her hand out for her to shake it.

OOC: I need someone to fit this girls discription to reply. Please and thanks[/center]

Saphira Stone

The heat of the day was unbearable, so hot. I glare angily at my house, hating my farther. Why had he made me go out side today, of all days. I feel my face go red with fustration as I recall his words.
" Darling you need to go outside, feel the sun on your back,"
I hadn't thought my farther was serious until he had basically pushed me out the house. My anger at him wouldn't last long it never did. We were close, but not super close. Just close enough that I knew him, I could say everything about him. He keept his privacy as did I. Today he was looking after my adopted brother Dave, he was autistic.

I flash back to the day that I meet Dave, it was a nice day, it had been raining that day. Oh what I would do for a drop of water. Dave had hurt himself and being autistic he didn't know what to do. So I had helped him and in turn he had trusted me. We never found his parents, so my farther took him in.

I stare out into the sun before taking a breath and stepping into the blistering hot light. Instantly I regret it, I groan as I feel the searing hit makes it way intomy clothing burning my flesh.
"Owww,"
I hop from foot to foot as the soles of my feet start to burn.
Man I should have worn shoes...
I make my way in a series of skips and hops to a bunch. I basically crash into the bench in my haste to get my feet of the ground. I groan as I see my feet, red.
"Owww, that hurts"I say as I probe my feet with my finger. The sound of crashing feet distracts me I look up to see a girl wincing in the bright light.
Oh man is this girl sweaty.

I don't know why, but I find myself standing on the hot ground I move to the girl and tap her on the shoulder.
"Wake up, you're sweating buckets," I say. I find myself laughing at the rediculous words that come out of my mouth. I look back at the girl.
"Hi, I'm Abby. Whats your name?" She asks.
"My name. My names Saphira" I say brightly.

Abby Maine

[/i][/left]
Abby smiled as the girl replied with her name. Most people she doesn't know don't talk to her, mostly because she doesn't talk to them. Her name was Saphira. It was a beautiful name. It remeinded her of some type of stone. Diamond? No. Emerald? No. Saphire? Yes. Even though they aren't pronounced the same, they just remied me of each other. Abby looked at the girl. She was pretty. She was a couple years older. Probably fourteen or fifteen. She had flowing blond hair. Kind of like Abby's. Although Abby's has some brown in it.

Abby sighed as she realized her parents were probably wondering where she saw. Well at least her mom was, her dad probably didn't care. He really didn't care what she was doing. She fidgited around trying to stretch in her seat. She breathed out and it hurt her mouth it was so hot. She looked at her arm and noticed it was kind of sunburnt. Which probably ment the rest of her exposed body was. She got up and hered her bones crack. Then she really did stretch. She stretched her hands in the air then bent over.

Abby sighed again as she realized she hadn't gotten the water or cream cheese. She looked down and thought she had a long way to go, still. She looked over at the strawberry blonde girl. She seemed nice, and Abby wanted to get to know her better. She didn't know to many people here. "Sorry we can't get to know each other better, but I have to go. Bye Saphira"[/b] Abby said to Saphira as she started to leave the bench area. She waved at her sadly. She had to admit, she did sound like a creep being so sad to leave someone she just met. She shruged and set off onto the sidewalk next to the road.

Abby kept walking and walking. She passed the butchers place. Hey, Mike's old girlfriend's dad works there, Abby thought. She remembered slapping her across the face. Good times, good times. She passed the place to get gas and such. Then she walked by a convienet store then a clothing store. Then another clothing store. Then a mining place then more clothes store then a shoe store. She was hot now, again. The sun beating down on her skin started making her sweat again. She hated the feeling of sweat on her skin, it made her feel like a boy.

Finally, there it was. A store with a broken name thing, she coudn't even make out the name. She shrugged. When her father told her to go get some water, she knew where to go. The sotre has really good water. She always drank a bottle on the way home. She walked in and a bell rang. She smiled and waved at the girl at the counter. She was always there when Abby came. They were ok friends. Her name was Honey, well her real name is Holly, but her little brother calls her "Honey" instead of Holly "because shes so sweet" so she goes by it. Its kind of cute. She walked to the back back of the store and saw the water. She grabbed a pack and pulled one out. It was sweating cold water. Not salty human sweat. It was gonna feel amazing on her throught.

Abby walked up the dairy isle and grabbed to containers of cream cheese. Her mom told her to only get one, but she new they run out fast, so she grabbed two. Abby was okay at math. The pack of water was nine dollars and the cream cheese was four dollars for both. She brought it up to Honey. She picked up the pack of water and put it up on the counter. Honey scanned the water and the cream cheese. It cost her twelve dollars and eighty four cents. She handed her a twenty dollar bill that she had in those jean skirt pocket. Honey gave her seven dollars and sixteen cents back. Abby took it and shoved it down into her pocket. "Have a nice day Abby!" Honey called out as Abby walked out carring the pack of water and cream cheese. "You too, Honey" Abby yelled back.

Abby walked out the door and sa the pack down and pulled the water bottle out. She opened it and starting chugging it. It felt AMAZING on her dry throught. It would be like it raining in the desert for a week straight. She sat down for a second and let her muscles rest again. This was heaven. Not dry throat, resting muscles. What could make it better. There she was across the street. Saphira. She smiled. "Hey, Saphira! Over here, its me, Abby" Abby called out.

OOC: Sorry for the bit of powerplay, the only way you really could reply[/center]

Saphira Stone

Maybe I should get some water from the well? Yes, I think I will do that. I head down the street, my feet burning on the hot ground. I mak a made dash for a verandah of someones house. With my feet in the cool shade I sigh as I feel the heat replaced by cool stone. I look out from under the verandah searching for the next place to run to. My eyes land on a shop with a large verandah and a nice shaded area. I take off sprinting and a moment later I'm in the cool shade. The relief of the cool ground is once again welcome on my scorched feet. I pull some coins from my poket, maybe I had enough money to finally get new shoes. I had been saving for weeks, after my old shoes had fallen apart. I walk to the door and enter, a soft bell goes off, justlike bellbirds. I walk in the cool air feels nice. My feet take me straight to the shoes.

I take a look at all the shoes, but i'm fixated on a beautiful pair of brown leather boots. My eyes find the price tag I look at my hand and sigh, don't have enough. Then I look back at the shoes with a knew idea. I'll try to bargain.

I move to the counter the boots in my hand.
I clear my throat to get the ladies attention " I would like to buy these, for $20."
"i'm sorry, its $30"
"Ok, $25"
The lady looks at me, before shrugging "alright."
"Thanks," I hand her the money before slipping on the boots and walking outside.
The leather feels very nice and keeps my feet cool on the burning ground. I walk around for a bit getting use to the feeling, I move down the street heading down to the well. I stop as I spot the girl. She smiles at me.
"Hey, Saphira! Over here, its me, Abby"
"Hi Abby" I say. "How are you?" I smile politley.
She was still sweating, but her face wasn't as flushed. The bottle in her hand told me she had been drinking. I wait for her to reply.

OOC: The powerplay makes me sound kind of wierd. Try make it so that I join in, but its fine:)... I thought I should let you know Saphira is going to be third person from now on xD
