𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐘 had no reason to worry, right? She had just turned 18, it was the last Reaping she had to dread. After this one, she would finally be safe.
Her best friend 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐄 was far more worried than the young woman, he had his name entered multiple times because he needed to take care of his little sister 𝐅𝐀𝐘𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐄, whom he had been responsible for since the age of 10 after the death of their parents. If he were chosen, he knew Faye would have to survive on her own.
The two of them stood there, in the middle of all the other teenagers and children whose fate rested in the hands of 𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐓, who announced the new Games before drawing the first name.
When Silas's name escaped her lips, the world stopped for both Faye and Willow.
At that exact moment, Willow hoped that her name would be drawn next, she couldn't bear to let him go without knowing if she would be able to hold him in her arms once more.
As if they heard her thoughts, the next name spoken by Effie was:
"𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐘"
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, knowing the world had stopped for the two teenagers in just a few seconds.
No matter what would happen to them now, they promised to fight until the end, despite the fear gnawing at their hearts.
