Faith Campbell
District Ten
Age Nineteen

"I told you he was no good." Mr. Campbell scolded his daughter after discovering that the boy she was crushing on was sent off the Detention Center after supposedly being beyond the fence. Numerous times he had told Faith to stay away from that boy, he didn't make enough money and had too messy of a past with his wife that passed away and two kids he had to care for. All Faith was wondering though was why her Father was torturing her like this, pretending like he was right all along and Jack was completely bad news. Now he was locked away though, most likely to never return, so what good was it for Mr. Campbell to yell at his daughter?

As much as he kept going, Faith kept her eyes avoiding his, trapped within side her head as the words 'I love you' rang through her head. Not only would she never see him again, but now she knew how he felt and that she could probably never fall for someone after knowing such a thing. "Say something!" Mr. Campbell demanded, knowing that his daughter had completely shut him out.

It felt like there was no point to life anymore; Faith used to figure if she was able to make it to nineteen without being reaped she could be happy, but now she was more miserable then ever. Not caring what her Father would do she got up and simply walked out of the house, and kept walking and kept walking. He didn't bother to follow, nor did her step-mother, or any of her younger half-sisters. Before even realizing it Faith had walked all the way to where Jack and her first met; the largest lake within the district, where Jack was skinny-dipping as Faith was reading. A lot of people came here, a small chuckle actually escaping her mouth think of how daring he was to be butt naked in the middle of the day at a popular lake.

Sitting down in the exact spot she was while reading that healer book she bought the day they met, she could almost picture him swimming around. How would it be right now if they had admitted their feelings without the pressure of Jack leaving, would they of? Possibly not, but she'd rather be his friend then knowing he loved her back but not having him afterwards. It felt horrible. Faith was so distracted by her memories and thoughts she completely didn't realize that the lake was packed today with people of all ages trying to enjoy what little they have. There was still kids of reaping age, her younger half-sisters were still all of reaping age, Faith felt guilty being so caught up in her own sorrow.

((OOC: Sorry it's not that long, just really wanted to write. Let me know if you have another idea of how they should meet and I'll tweak it to match it.))

Skye Woods

I woke expecting my head to be pounding and was surprised that as I raised my head, there was no throbbing to be found. I smiled, feeling happy that I wasn't going to have a stay in bed day. I hated the fact that since I'd been kicked by that horse, I'd been forced to spend most of my days stuck in bed. I stood up, throwing my legs over the side of the bed and decided to go to the lake. The sky outside was clear and I assumed that, because it was summer, it was hot outside. I stood up and walked into the bathroom, grabbing my bathing suit. It had been ages since I'd worn it but surprisingly it still fit me. It was a pretty blue color and also happened to be a two piece. I blushed, looking at myself in the mirror. Benny was probably out riding, unlike me. I would never be able to ride a horse again. I grabbed a towel and headed out the door

The lake was very crowded and it took forever to find a spot to sit. When I finally found a spot, I laid out my towel and stripped off my dress that I'd put on over top. I hoped the water was warm. I padded towards the water, weaving between people towards the water. The sand felt so nice under my feet, warm and soft. I entered the water and dove in, feeling a shock as the cold rushed over my skin and I felt the breath shocked out of me. I swam through the water and smiled, feeling refreshed.

After a little while, I got out of the water and headed back to my towel, a wind making goose bumps appear all along my arms. I wrapped the towel around me, drying myself off and laid the towel out again so that I could sunbathe for a little while. That was when I noticed her, a girl who was definitely quite a bit older than myself engrossed in a book. I wonder what she's reading I thought, standing up. I walked over to her and smiled. "Hi, I'm Skye whats your name?" I asked, smiling.

Faith Campbell
District Ten
Age Nineteen

In a way Faith was still safe, even though it felt like she was dragged along with Jack to the Detention Center. But still she had to remind herself that she was still here, in District Ten and at the lucky age of nineteen. It was also summer which meant in only a few months she'd be another year away from reaping age and finally be twenty. Her younger half-sisters would be a year closer to not being reaping age, Hope would be turning Thirteen soon. Didn't she owe her sisters more, to think of them every once in a while instead of swallowing herself in her own pity. It wasn't going to bring Jack back. Suddenly the quietness around her stopped, and the busy lake came to life in front of her.

Everyone seemed so happy and Faith couldn't help but notice such a thing. For kids that could be reaped this year it seemed they all decided to forget about it and have fun. The word fun sounded like a good idea, something Faith was starting to believe could of occur when around Jack. All these people around her had all been through things, some also lost their loved ones, and some maybe even went through worse. Faith held no right to be upset when all these other people were able to forget about it. Running around with grins, or a laugh escaping them. The noise felt good for a change, instead of blocking out everything that was going on.

Accepting the noise came at such a perfect time because I young girl, Hope's age of twelve or maybe a year older, arrived to start a conversation. To be honest Faith probably would of seemed rude and wouldn't of noticed her if it wasn't for the exact timing. The blond hair and bright blue eyes matched her name Skye nicely, along with her sweet attitude and ever-lasting smile. "Nice to meet you Skye, I'm Faith." Faith replaced her ever-lasting frown with a similar smile, her voice slightly hushed but only from the lack of talking since Jack had been taken away.

Everything about Skye reminded Faith of her younger sister Hope, for the exception of looks...Hope had red hair and brown eyes just as Faith did, and was slightly smaller just as Faith was at the age of twelve. Now, only because she was around someone much younger, there was a height difference, not by much though. The smile that Skye held was just like Hope's though, the kind that was contagious to nearly everyone. With someone younger around Faith's big-sister hat came on and she reminding herself, or told herself, to pull it together at least for this little girl. She wasn't even quite sure as to why Skye came over, what to say next, and only hoped her radiating sorrow didn't pull Skye over here.

"What brought you to the lake today?" Faith asked after clearing her throat, after all that seemed like the best way to start up a conversation.

((OOC: Let me know if you have any interesting ideas of where this story should go. Drama's always a little fun?))
