Run or Die (sequel to A Career)

Chpt 3

Days later we came across district 12. We kept our distance. This was a poor district so we could probably easily slip in through the fence but we'd have to be careful.

"Let's grab some food and medicine if there is any and run." I suggested.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Rushing in? Stealing? We need a plan." Flora informed sternly. I nodded.

"Ok. What will we do then? We'll get recognized for sure. So how do we disguise ourselves?" April asked.

"We should leave our bags and stuff out here." Flora began, "but have a knife handy. Don't want any one too suspicious."

"What about us like. How can we disguise ourselves?" I asked.

"We'll look for some miners. Knock them out. Take their clothes and go in?" April laughed.

"April that's not a bad idea!" Flora realized.

"Really?" April replied.

"Yeah! Lets find some miners." Flora suggested.

"We should split up less suspicious people we meet back here." I added.

"Got it." Flora and April nodded. We edged closer to the fence. We saw three miners passing. Perfect. We slipped through and knocked out the miners. We quickly took the worn out and large clothes. It might be hard for people to believe April's a adult since she's so small.

"April you're too short." I pointed out.

"Hey!" April retorted.

"Analisse's right. We're too small to look like adults. Well Analisse might pass as one. But not us." Flora informed.

"Ok if anyone ask we are picking up food and supplies for our mom's and if they ask about clothes say that's all we can afford." I informed.

"Got it." April nodded quickly.

"Ok. Lets go split up." Flora added.

I slipped through the market of district 12. I saw a unattended table of apples. I quickly slipped a few into my over sized pockets. A old woman stood up and yelled at me. I quickly dashed off. I grabbed more supplies and food quickly along the way.

I sat out by the tree where we put our bags. I tapped my foot impatiently. I saw Flora and April running over.

"Finally!" I greeted.

"You're fast. We had to gamble prices a bit." Flora informed.

"I just swiped them off tables." I replied. "I got caught a few times."

"Analisse! Now we can't go back! We'll be reported!" Flora scolded.

"Great come on. Let's go." April urged.

"Alright alright." I sighed.

'Man I screwed up real good now...' I thought.
