Alaric were never meant to survive. Nobody was.
when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain.
when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning.
when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion.
when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again.
when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish.
when we are alone we are afraid love will never return.
and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed
but when we are silent we are still afraid
So it is better to speak remembering
we were never meant to survive.Alaric walked into the cart where Thresh and Rue were. "Hello." Alaric smiled softly sitting down in front of the two.
"Hi." Rue whispered while Thresh kept a cold stare on his face. "I know who you are already, my name is Alaric." Alaric introduced "do you two want a drink?"
"No-"
"Yea."
"I'll take a yes." Alaric laughed softly pouring the two some cold water. "Okay so there's no way to really ease into this." Alaric sighed handing the two there drinks.
"How'd you do it?" Rue asked tilting her head. "You were my age when you won, how?" The young girl questioned
"She's a Barlow she was born a killer." Thresh glared. "Thresh." Alaric stated giving the boy a cold stare. "Thresh is actually right. Rue I was quite literally born to play in the hunger games."
Rue only nodded a small frown on her face. "Okay so Rue you're younger so it's between you getting the most sponsors of the least." Alaric sighed
"I'm your mentor but I'm also you designer so with your outfits you guys have an even better chance of getting sponsors." Alaric explained
Thresh's eyes drifted to the woman's right hand that was shaking vigorously. "Rue you're small you can hide. They can't kill you if they can't find you."
Alaric turned to look at Thresh, "make alliance's Thresh." Alaric stated "They are your best shot, you help them kill and when they least expect it you kill them."
"I don't want to kill anybody." Rue whispered
Alaric only sighed before kneeling down to the young girl. "You won't have to." Alaric spoke before looking up at Thresh. "Nightlock berries." Alaric announced
"Your sponsors they'll send you things, if they send you food crush the berries in it and let someone take it that way you're not really killing them, it's more like they're killing themselves." Alaric suggested
"You're gonna be okay, Rue maybe you can be the third girl to win from district 11." Alaric smiled giving the girl a wink.
"When it first starts you two need to stick together, the minute it starts you two are the only people you can trust." Alaric stated standing up.
