I love the sunrise.
The morning is the best time of day. It is when no one is up, apart from a few workers in the fields, and the mockingjays, singing along to the steady tune of nature. Of course, it's rare for me to be up so early, as I do oh-so love the sunset, also. But the sunrise is different. It symbolizes the start of a new beginning, something to be grateful for.

At least, in my eyes. Other's don't seem to share my thoughts on the matter.
"What are you doing up so early?" the familiar voice of my younger yet much more muscular brother, Ervin, asks. I look up from where I sit on the steps of our old cottage, to see the confused eleven year old looking at me from the front door.
"Watching the sunrise," I reply simply. My brother's eyes narrow suspiciously.
"Why?"
I just shrug at his question. I can tell he wouldn't understand if I explained what I thought of the sunrise. He would just call me 'daft' for thinking such thoughts.

He rolls his eyes at my explanation.
"Well, let's head inside. It's fuckin' freezing out here," he says matter-of-factly. I gasp, shocked at his potty-mouth.
"Ervin!" I scold. "Don't swear, you're only eleven!"
"Whatever," he replys, rolling his eyes dramatically yet again. "You comin' inside or not?"

I pause for a moment, before replying.
"No," I decide. "I have some.. errands I need to run." He shrugs at me, before heading inside, the door closing behind him. I stand up and wipe the snow from my backside. This would certainly have been a much more enjoyable activity during summer.

I make my way to the center of the the District, which only takes me ten minutes or so. Even at six o'clock, the district seems to be bursting with life. I suppose that it's maybe because we are one of the more larger Districts, after all. It's still nice to be able to walk around without being in danger of my toes being trampled on.

Well, that's what I thought, until I get distracted. I was just hopping along, watching my feet to make sure I didn't stand on the cracks - it's supposed to be a bad omen, after all - when I bump into someone.
"Sorry!" I say quicky, blushing as I stumble backwards. I had always been rather clumsy on my feet.

OOC: Please reply as the person that Clarity happened to bump into :3

Serin was doing some morning rounds, stealing crops and making mischieof. But today he had enough food. He was skipping directly to the second part. He was walking around pouring a nice layer of water everwhere to make everything slippery, simple out of boardem. Usualy he would steal stuff from people but not today. Today he was BORED. Being bored and with without strict moral code is bad for people as the mischief would result in being painful, for others, and sliding around on a inch of ice i definatly going to be painfull.

He was walking around droping the water down quickly, as he did not want to be seen. Because quite frankly if someone is seen at the early hours droping water evrywhere is usually does not look good, and since most people up at this hour are tired and cranky they dont try to think of plausible explanations. His bucket was nearly full when he bumped into the girl, and the water went flying everywhere, on him, on the ground, on the girl, even on some poor stall owner preparing the stall. "Sorry!"She said as she stumbled backwards. I simply looked at my wet cloathes and sighed."What are you doing here at this hour? You dont look like a stall owner?" He looked no better, acutally worse because he hadn't bother to dress decently so he still looked like a wanderer.

OOC:Sorry its not my best writing.

I had been outside for about five seconds and I had already caused trouble. Typical Clarity, I thought, mentally sighing to myself. The water the young man with the brown hair was holding had immediately splashed all over the cobbled ground, my dress, but mostly the poor boy. I blushed more, feeling guilty. Judging by his clothes, he wasn't a very rich man, though then again, not many were in District 11. What if that had been his only fresh water?

"Sor-" she started, just as the boy began speaking also.
"What are you doing here at this hour? You don't look like a stall owner?" he asked, sighing at his damp clothes. I shook my head.

"No, I'm not," she agreed. "I.. I like the sunrise. It's very calming, I guess." I blushed, yet again, assuming he would think I was strange now. Eager to change the subject, I quickly added, "My name is Clarity, and yourself?" I gave him a small smile.

As I shook water off me(or attempted to) the girl spoke. "No...I'm not.'That's abit obvisous,I thought to myself."I...I like sunrises. Its very calming I guess." As she said this she blushed. Why would she blush? To me at least its not weird, and I doubt its odd to anyone else. Then in a obvious attempt to change the subject she said"My names Clarity, and yourself ?" IAt this I hesitated, I could give her my real name or a fake one, few people get my real so why should she be any different? If I got in trouble she could just be like, his names Serine and he's responsible for this crime."Arechon.But everyone calls me..."I thought for a good name "Igloo."

I then realized that she was covered in my water and it was already beginning to freeze."Sorry about getting the water all over you. We should probably dry off before it freezes" It was a bit late though because the water was already frozen in many places, and the water on he road was going to make it very treacherous walking here. I located a house that looked empty and walked in, it probaly belonged to someone who died and while ago. I hope the girl dosent mind trespassing I though. It was strangely warm inside the house because of the thick insulation, so I took off my jacket and shirt off to dry before sticking. My worse out the door and saying"come inside, its warm."

"Arechon. But everyone calls me..." he paused for a moment, as if to remember what he was about to say, before responding with, "Igloo." I nodded, mouthing the word to myself, testing it on my tongue. Igloo.

[/color] I thought, What a peculiar name.

He looked down at my outfit, where the water was slowly beginning to freeze.
"Sorry about getting the water all over you. We should probably dry off before it freezes." I nodded, realized how cold I was all of a sudden. This was certainly one of the not-so-nice winters in Panem.
"No need to apologize, it was as much my fault as it was yours. I can be a bit of a dreamer, sometimes," I admitted, before biting my lip - half because I was nervous, and half to stop my teeth from chattering. I suddenly realized that he must be just as cold, if not more, as his roughed up clothes didn't exactly look very warm, and they were also damp.

He walked over to a house at the side of the road, one that, from the outside, looked empty and possibly abandoned. He disappeared into the house for a moment, before arriving at the door - lacking a shirt. I found myself blushing slightly and looked down at my feet.
"Come inside, its warm," he told me, and I did so, making my way over. Of course, I should have taken more care, as being as clumsy as I am, my foot hit an icy patch and I slid onto my backside. Before the embarrassment could take over, I ended up giggling at my own foolishness. I wasn't sure whether to face palm myself or burst into laughter, so I decided just to get up and get inside before I froze.

I walked into the house, and had to agree with his statement about the house being warm.
"Is this your house?" I asked him. Of course it is, stupid,[/color] I thought. Why else would he be here? At the same time, the lack of any family and the seemingly abandoned feel to the home, as if it hadn't been used in a while, made me feel otherwise.

"Is this your house?"Clarity asked. As this I gave out a quick scoff. "No. My house is in dis........."Thinking fast I said".....distant away."Whew. That was close. Realising that she was blushing I wondered why before it hit me, I wias standing half naked in front of her. I blushed as well and grabbed a spare shirt from my backpack and slipped it on."Sorry about that"I muttered. To avoid her I began walking around the house, and soon wandered into a bedroom. Opening the closet I find clothes. For four people, boy girl man and women. But judging by the house and layer of dust it had been long abandon.

I picked up a pair of the girls clothes and threw them to Clarity and said"Wear these while your clothes dry." As. I contained to explore. I walked to the upper levels which were mostly bare, spare a few things. Finding a bed I decided to look under it to see what I can find when the floor gave out. The weight in that area much as have been to much. Painfully I get up and turn around to find her not two feet from the bed."That was lucky huh?"I said. Then kIll contained to look around. Picking up a picture of the familytfacilitate must have conceived her I ask,"Do you who lived here? Or why they left in such a hurry?"

Igloo scoffed at her question.
"No. My house is in dis...distant away." I raised my eyebrows, both at the fact that this wasn't his house, and that he seemed unsure about where his house was. I didn't comment on it, even though I was curious about exactly who's house this was. He seemed to notice that he was half naked, he blushed and grabbed a shirt from his backpack, pulling it over his head.
"Sorry about that," he muttered. I just waved it off with a hand, saying it was no big deal.

He began to walk around, as if exploring the house, and I followed from a distance. He walked into the bedroom and opened a closet, searching through them before throwing an outfit over to me.
"Wear these while your clothes dry."
"Thanks," I replied, before wandering off to find a bathroom to change in. I was looking for Igloo when the roof started to creak, and suddenly Igloo, a bed and the roof fell down just infront of me. I jumped back quickly, just as Igloo started standing up.
"That was lucky huh?" he said.
"Are you okay?" I asked hurriedly. That was some fall. He picked up a picture of a family and turned to me.
"Do you who lived here? Or why they left in such a hurry?" I shook my head. "No.. why?"

I exaimed the photo and said, "I'm fine." Then contuined to look at the photo. Why would someone leave? It would make more sense if they had less but, they have quite a setup. Nice clothes, furniture, lots things, and most importantly, a house with thick insulation. I put the photo down and began looking for clues. "It doesn't seem right, why would someone leave leave a nice place with this? And not take anything? Its not like they all dropped dead or something."

Looking around just added more to the confussion. The dust was thick and undisturbed.'Why would a thief which are in abundance in the district leave such a wealth unlocked door alone?' Walking around did nothing to help so I sat down on a couch and sighed. The question rang around in my head. 'If disease then it would be burned or torn down.Something is just wrong.'Sitting up I looked at Clarity and said" Something here is just wrong. Are you sure you don't know anything about this house?"

Getting up I check my jacket, 'good enough' I decided and grabbed it. putting it on. My shirt I placed in my backpack. Making a last minute sweep I grab some clothes and money before heading over to the door. 'Very nice meeting you Clarity. Maybe we'll see each other again! Probably not seeing as I not form here. Any way, goodbye!"I said opening the door. Zipping up my jacket i walked outside.

Into a full blown blizzard.

"It doesn't seem right, why would someone leave leave a nice place with this? And not take anything? Its not like they all dropped dead or something." I paused for a moment, thinking about what he said. He had a point.
"Maybe.. they're escaping from something. On the run," I said. A million thoughts entered my brain, all of them too bizarre to be true. "Or maybe they didn't just pack up and leave. They could have been taken." By taken, I meant by the Capitol. Who else would be willing to take a whole family off the streets? They're certainly cruel enough, they did invent The Hunger Games afterall.

"Something here is just wrong. Are you sure you don't know anything about this house?" Igloo asked me. I narrowed my eyes slightly.
"You don't believe me?" I said, before sighing. "Errmm.. I think the Robinson's lived here." I thought about the location of the house. "Yeah, that makes sense. There was a son and a daughter.. I think the daughter had some mental disability. All I know." I shrugged. I wasn't even sure if this was the Robinson's house. I cursed myself for not listening into my parent's hushed conversations.

He grabbed his jacket and started walking towards the door.
"Very nice meeting you Clarity. Maybe we'll see each other again! Probably not seeing as I not form here. Any way, goodbye!" he called over his shoulder, before opening the door. I grabbed a furry coat that was a few sizes too big for me from a coat hanger and hurried after him.
"So you're going? Just like that?" I asked, before realizing something. "What do you mean you're not from here?"

I stepped out into the cold to hear his answer, to see snow flying in all directions. I thought of my brother, and hoped he wouldn't go looking for me. It would be a foolish thing to do, but it sounded a lot like something he would decide to do.

I had walked outside into a bliizard.'Well shit.'I thought to myself as I slid along the ice. The storm was too strong to see more then a few feet in front of my face and before i knew it I had crashed into the oppsiite side of the sqwuare slaming into a wall."Ow"I muttered along with a few choice words as I stood up and look around. I could see was a wall for sevral feet along either side. A outline of a stall as well.

Pushing off the wall I quickly slid into the house, a few feet off the door and inch my way in. Looking at Clarity I said."Another hour and at this rate we'll be trapped." I got up and sat down. "So you better..wait...you probaly need to get back to your family."I said frowning. I got up and began looking around. Walking into the attic I find a sled and several ice stakes. Grabbing them I threw the skates at her and they clattered at her feet." There one of these should fit. "I told her before walking away to look for fire wood, or something that would produce light.

He walked inside the house yet again, and I was quick to follow. I wasn't exactly planning on stepping outside again anytime soon. But then Igloo pointed something out.
"Another hour and at this rate we'll be trapped." Shit.

"So you better..wait...you probably need to get back to your family."
"Don't you have to get back to yours?" I asked, as he threw skates over to me. I gave him a puzzled look but slipped them on.
"We're not actually going out there, right?" I asked uncertainly.

OOC: Sorry for the short post. I'm tired :3

I looked at her and sighed. I wish she could stay and a apart of me hoped she would stay, but family bonds are important. That much I remember from before everything went down hill. It started simply enough. A request to train. Then after some time, a demand to train. But I ignored it. Then the huge fight. I still shiver when I think of it. I have several various scars that still haven't healed. Then I "went", but soon soon they found out I was going, and before more damage could be done I ran.

I snapped back to reality and realized I had a tear running down my cheek. "I don't have to get back to my family becayse I don't have one.....Well I do..but I don't.....Its complicated.."I told her as I opened the door. "You are going. I would help but I have no idea where you live and probably couldn't make it back in time. Besides...I suck at skates." I walk up stairs and plonk down on a bed.'Well. Maybe she'll come back after wards, once it blew over. Maybe she'll remember.....No one ever remembers you'A voice snarled out of no where."I better not be going crazy I said as I slipped under the covers and prepared to sleep.

OOC:No problem. Post holidays tiredness?

I tear escaped from his eye and I fell silent, feeling sort of bad for mentioning it now. He shook his head lightly, as if ridding himself of a thought.
"I don't have to get back to my family becayse I don't have one.....Well I do..but I don't.....Its complicated." I nodded, even though I wasn't really sure what he meant. I think that was probably the point. He opened the door, hurrying for me to leave.
"You are going. I would help but I have no idea where you live and probably couldn't make it back in time. Besides...I suck at skates." I smiled slightly, a half smile, at this comment.
"And you think I can? I ran into you when I didn't have skates on. I doubt I'm going to be less clumsy on the ice," I joked, trying to lighten the mood. I was going to try though, of course.

He walked off, and I waited a moment before following him. There was still one thing nagging at my mind that I wanted to know, though I doubted he would tell me. I ripped out a random sheet from a book and followed him into a bedroom, waiting for him to pull the blanket over his head before I snuck over to his bag and zipped it open. As soon as I spotted the pen, I quickly wrote on the page, 'Meet me in the District Center when the storm dies down,' completing it with a smiling face at the end. I zipped the bag back up and walked over to the door, acting as if I had just entered.

"Can I ask you something first?" I asked, holding onto the door frame to support myself as I was wearing the skates. Without waiting for an answer, I added in, "If you're from a distance away.. where are you from?" I didn't expect him to answer, but it was worth a shot.

OOC: Yupp >.<

I lay motionless staring at the wall. "Can I ask you something first?"She asked. I remained silent in hope she would just leave."If you're from a distance away....where are you from?"I sigh. Most people would figure it out by now. "Think, there are 12 other places in Panem. 13 including the captitol. If I'm not from here, where can I be from?"I contuine to stare at the wall as I drift into sleep.

I had a terrible nightmare that night. I was being chased by a bear through a winter iceland. Upon waking I relized why. The bear part was not obvisous and was probaly random, but the ice land part was because it was freezeing. Quickly slipping on all my clothes I went downstairs to invastage. But when I exited the room at a birsk pace a piece of paper fluttered by. I grabbed it and read it before shoving it in my pocket and climbing downsairs.

The door was still open and out it I could see that the snow reached abit over halfway up the frame. I had to make a small dicth to get out. Then I began walking toward the District Center. The roads soon cleared out into small passges with snowpiles making walls, but the closer I got to the center the clearer the road got. So by the time I got to the center the snowdrifts were huge, but the road empty. Many people were in the center so in order to see if I could fine Clarity I climbed a small house and began looking. If I didnt find her, mabye she would see me on top of a roof.

"Think, there are 12 other places in Panem. 13 including the captitol. If I'm not from here, where can I be from?" Well know he had just lost me. It confirmed that he wasn't from District 11, but apart from that, I had no clue what he was talking about. I nodded, before silently leaving the room and heading outside, cautiously placing a foot on the slippery ice. I must have fallen about eight times on the way home, but by the time I got back, no one noticed I had gone. They were all still sleeping, even if it was almost the middle of the day.

I sat at the window, nibbling at a piece of bread whilst I waited for the snow to clear. As soon as it looked safe to go outside, I zipped up the coat I had 'borrowed' from the abandoned house and headed outside. The center was crowded as people came out to shop after the snow from earlier. I looked around, but I couldn't see him. What if he didn't show up, or didn't even find the note?

I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and looked up to see Igloo standing on a roof.
"Oh my god," I whispered, before running over t the house and saying louder, "What are you doing? Get down, it's slippy!" I said, looking up at the roof.
