Adrenaline coursed through Wren's veins as she ran at top speed as far away as she could from the little produce stand in the town square. She could hear shouts behind her which made her heart race even more than it was from running. 'Oh no!' she thought. 'I'm caught! I'm so stupid! I never get caught! I'm in so much trouble! The Peacekeepers are going whip me in the square!'

She kept running, sprinting really, as fast as she could and the yelling voices began to sound further and further away. All she could do was find somewhere to hide until it was safe to go back home. Her eyes surveyed where she was and noticed she was on a street in the merchant stores, she kept running, wanting to separate herself from anyone who sold anything. She kept running, this time, being careful and staying in the shadows and keeping quiet. Eventually, she got down to almost the end of the merchants road when she got too tired to go on. There was a tiny alleyway between an apothecary and a butcher so she chose to hide in it.

Her body ached a bit from running and anxiety and she sat down against the wall of the butcher's store to catch her breath. Eventually her breathing slowed and she looked in her satchel. There werethree apples, a pear, and two husks of corn. She took an apple out of her bag, cleaned it with her jacket sleave and sunk her teeth into it. She knew it was illegal to steal but it was exciting and with only her father working, sometimes trading and a salary didn't get her everything that they needed. Now that she got caught, she wouldn't be able to go to the town square for a few weeks and would have to rely on just the black market. It puzzled her that she was caught. She had been doing this for 7 or 8 years now and never once did they catch her! Now, she really needed to be more careful. Maybe she was getting lazy.

Dark eyes awoke to sun shining in elaborately decorated room. After a moment of letting reality return, Alan realized he was alone in the silk sheeted bed. He listened for the sound of the shower running, but heard nothing. He rolled over to his love's side of the bed a checked the clock there. Alan was grateful for the electricity, especially when he thought o all the people who rarely had it if at all. The clock said it was about noon and Alan realized he slept in. His boyfriend must have just wanted to let him sleep and went to work. Alan smiled softly, God how he loved him. Alan was always getting spoiled one way or another by him.

Alan got out of bed and did his morning routine. He got dressed in a pair of slightly ragged blue jeans and a plain purple shirt. His sneakers were fairly new and they were a bright green color. he strolled outside, unsure of what to do when he felt something brush against his pant leg. He jumped back and heard a hissing sound and paws on the dirt. After getting a bit closer, he discovered it to be a small cat, now hiding in the bushes.

After feeling a twinge of guilt for scaring the poor kitten, Alan got down on his knees in front of the bush and looked through a small patch that had less leaves for some reason. Probably when the cat jumped through. From that space, Alan could see the cat fairly well, despite the absence of light. The cat was covered in splotches of black and white fur and had a pair of distrustful green eyes.

Alan was trying to lure the cat out when he heard someone running behind him. He turned to see a girl bland colored clothing running. Alan watched her go. When she was almost out of site, Alan decided to follow her. He had to jog and keep up. After awhile thought he was going to find her when he found her in an alleyway by the butcher shop. Not to far down the street was a Peacekeeper who seemed on guard. Alan was sure to slip into the alleyway when he wasn't looking. He nor his love needed any trouble.

He approached the girl slowly and didn't speak until he was about three feet from her. "Hello?" he said a bit timidly. Now he took the time to wonder what she was running from. Was she dangerous? Alan was starting to think this was a bad idea, but it was too late now.

Wren jumped and her heart started racing again, just as she had finally caught her breath, when someone came into the allyway and seemed to be following her. Could they be someone from the stand she swiped from coming to get her to turn in to the Peacekeepers? All Wren could was stay still and quiet. But it wasn't like she would turn invisable by standing still. She had to say something. This was the most afraid she had been in a long time.

At barely a whisper, she replied slowly, "You're not going to turn me in are you?"[/color] She seemed as vulnerable and timid as a rabbit, eyes wide and heart beating rapidly. That wasn't how she was though. Only the fear of being beaten or shot by a Peacekeeper could reduce her to vulnerability. His expression seemed odd and he didn't immediately answer so she reiterated, "Are you?"[/color] Subconsiously she held her breath waiting for him to answer and suspense swelled like a tital wave ready to crash on her and take her beneath. It scared her more than anything to be caught. That was the worst thing that could happen to her, besides being selected for the Hunger Games. If she were to get shot or beaten by the Peacekeepers, it would destroy her Pa and well, she would die or be in extreme pain. And she didn't want any of those things to happen.
