The breeze that morning was something of calm and peaceful. It pulled the cold air around in swirls all around district ten. It whispered in the ears of the people as it brought a chill to their spines, almost as if it were whispering their darkest secrets across the sky. Kira stood still in the breeze, staring forward as the swirls tugged at the loose strands of hair hanging out from her hat. It was an early morning meaning that any sane person wouldn't be crawling out of their bed and into the winter dawn. But of course, there were hardly any sane people in district ten for they were already up and mucking about in the streets to start the day with selling animals or perhaps even heading away from their own home to work at someone else's farm.
That was the case for the oldest Hillam daughter.
Her blue eyes scanned the empty space before her as she tried to find her secrets floating about. She so terribly wanted to grab them out of the air and keep them to herself. She didn't want anyone to know how she was feeling inside or the words she was thinking. They differed ever so much from the words she actually said. The young girl who acted so much older than she really was looked at the ground before her feet. If she didn't hurry to work, she would be late in making sure the cattle were doing alright. If she miscalculated one step she would be behind all day and most likely not receive the money she so desperately needed to keep her sisters alive and healthy.
With one skeleton hand she grabbed her bony wrist and started walking. Most people knew to keep a few feet away from her while she walked her normal route. They understood if you stepped within Kira's direct path you would have to suffer for a five minute rant before she eventually let you go. It was a hard life to be so distant from everyone, but it was best for her sisters if she remained at home as the parent. She pulled her coat closer to her skin as another breeze pulled at her hair and taunted her with every secret possible. Her coat wasn't much protection at all from the weather sadly because she hadn't bought a new one for herself in two entire years. Two years since things were good... Two years before she had to take the same route to an old farm. Two years before she had to conform to the pack and snarl at anyone who passed her by. Two years was a long time for a person to change.
A foot crossed into her field of vision, pulling the teenager from her depressive thoughts. She narrowed her eyes but continued to walk, deciding it wasn't worth it. Normal people knew the way around her and she couldn't afford to be late. But that cold and breezy morning Kira wasn't going to meet a normal person who walked along the same path every single day. Rather she would meet someone new, someone different. Possibly, someone who could change her.ooc// sorry -.-
