The smell of smoke and ash seemed to be growing with every passing minute as the figure of a young woman with hair the color of falling snow struggled to remain standing upright, she could feel her heartbeat growing faster in her chest as she surveyed her surroundings through her blurring vision, a small gasp passing through her lips as she turned around to see someone through her blurry vision.
She collapsed as her knees gave out from walking so far from the familiar districts that she thought she'd known, standing up on two shaking legs as she continued to run as fast as she could before her legs could give out a second time.
she had to make it to district 13, she wouldn't stand for cruel people to take children from their parents.
A thought suddenly crossed her as her hand gripped the hilt of her silver dagger at her hip she'd never known her parents thanks to the capital.
the disappearance of her parents had happened when she was only a baby, and her mentor Valeria Holloway had taken her with her when she left the capital and raised her as if she was her own.
she thought fondly of her foster mother as she continued running.
she would end the bloodshed starting with the capital. a plan had begun to form in her mind but that would have to wait.
she would need her mentor's help, and she would need to acquire some allies to fight by her side.
