DRAKE STARK 17 District 4
----------------------------------------------------------

The dark haired male was wearing his shorts and short sleeved shirt today when he left his room. His mother looked at him from the kitchen with a look of confusion. She was probably wondering where he was off to before lunch. He wasn't dressed like he was going to career training so, thus why she was confused. " Where are you going" his nosy mom asked as his brother ran into the room. " Out for a swim don't worry mum" he told her confidently with a smile and a wink. " Um ok don't be back too late hun. And be careful. " His mother replied before fixing the bottom of her skirt. " Got yuh mum" Drake replied back in the same tone as before with a small salute to her. While Drake and his mother were occupied his brother managed to climb on to the counter. " What the heck are you doing" the mother said when she finally caught the small framed boy at the cabinet. Drake laughed a little at his brother's antics before leaving the house. On the way out the house he ran into his father who looked him over. " Hey pop" Drake greeted when his dad remained silent. " Are you going to training like that?" his father finally asked him with a stern expression on his face.

" Yeah see yuh" he lied because he father seemed to be in a bad mood. His father had been coming home in a lot of bad moods lately. So, Drake figured that maybe he was having a problem with a co worker or something. After a while of walking he arrived at the beach. There was a nice breeze there today which meant it was a good day for a swim in his eyes. Upon reaching the edge of the water he took his shirt off. He had forgot to wear shoes today but , that didn't matter to him. Since there was a large rock near the water he put his folded shirt there. After stretching he walked forward so his feet were in the water. It was a little cold today but , he wasn't too bothered by it. As another breeze swept by he walked more into the water. When he was in the deep end he began swimming to Floating water marker that was farther out in the water. Upon reaching it he began swimming back to the spot he started at. After reaching the starting point he swam back to the floating marker once again. The dark haired male continued to do this many times on repeat. He wanted to go as long as he felt like or until he got tired.

✽ Daria Staite ✽

The beach had looked so peaceful- so tranquil. It was an escape from her father to say the least. Daria Staite often travelled the stretches of beach in District 4 until her feet blistered against the burning hot sand and her tongue dried out in the summer’s heat. The white sandy and shelly and pebbled beaches where more home to her than her actual house because they were so peaceful; empty. She occasionally came across large groups of people who were enjoying themselves, like she did, in the sun on the beach or groups of fishermen working on their nets. They were always friendly to her- they would smile and wave without knowing of her hearing impairment; that made Daria very happy. Some did know she was deaf and they treated her just as well- many people along the beach knew Daria was disliked by her family, so they thought she deserved some love.

Today was like every other day she had been on the beach. The sand was not quite scolding but it was warm against her the soles of her feet and the sky was not pristine blue but it was still like every other day she went on the beach. Today she had set out earlier than usual, her father had returned from work earlier- angry and smelling of alcohol- than she had expected so a quick escape to her place was needed. The sea was closer than usual, but that did not worry Daria. She often paddled in the shallows and watched the tiny silver fish wiggle about her feet; that would make her laugh and smile. So as she walked down the beach towards the next settlement, Daria began to wade into the water until it was up to her knees- the end of her dress floated gently on the water’s surface- brushing gently against her knee caps. It was cooler today, the sun had not warmed the waters quite enough but Daria didn’t mind. The cold was quite refreshing after all.

The young girl stood there for a second, closing her eyes as a sea breeze blew around her, and sighed happily in the summer sun. The happiness however, was short lived. The gentle tug of the tide around her legs suddenly became strong and the grip of a current pulled the young girl under before she had chance to think. The world beneath the waves was different, darker. The water stung her eyes and she barely had much breath in her lungs when she had pulled under and soon, holding the air begun to sting too. The young girl flailed her arms in a desperate attempt to stay afloat but the sea just seemed to drag her deeper.

Drake Stark 17 District 4
----------------------------------

As he swam under the water something caught the teen's eye. He stayed under for a few moments and squinted. When he popped up back the surface he realized it was a person. On the surface he could see arms appear and disappear on the surface. This caused the light haired teen to go back under the water. He saw toward the girl at top speed because , he realized she was drowning. When he reached her he gently grabbed her arm and smile he is big smile. The smile was to let her know he was friendly and that he was helping her out. He would of said something too but , words were always muffled underwater. He then gently pulled her to get her safely to the shore. When the water level got lower his face was no longer emerged in the water. The water was now swallow enough to be sitting on the sand and the water at the same. Therefore , he let go of the girl and sat down next her. " Are you ok?" he asked her in hopes that she was alright. Since he had seen he arms come to surface a fews times before saving her, he knew she was alive.

So, the only thing he had to worry about was injury and unconsciousness. He hadn't brought any first aide stuff with him so, he would have to get her to a doctor or his house. He was pretty sure his mother had some sort of first aide stuff in the kitchen. If they didn't he was sure that his mom would go get some in a heartbeat. His mother was a very caring and helpful person so, she never hesitated to help someone in need. His father on the other hand was a little more reserved and to himself. So, Drake guessed that maybe his his parents balance each other out. If he did have to bright the girl to his home he hoped his mom would not gush. His mom had a habit of overly congratulating his siblings and him when they did something amazing in their moms eyes. Drake liked compliments but , sometimes his mother went a little over the top with them.
