Anna clapped a hand over her mouth, nodding quickly. "So..um..--" she was cut off, sensing someone looking at them. She turned her head to see Jace smirking at Rulie and her face contorted into a serious face, if not a scowl. She could almost tell his thoughts before he turned away. He was taller than many of the others, and she assumed he thought it intimidated anyone younger and shorter. True, she was rather shorter, probably a few years younger, but there was no way she was scared. She was used to things like this. Closing her eyes for a mere moment, she could still remember one of the worst nights of her life. The mud sloshing through the forests as she and her friend Maisy raced out of the trees, the rain pouring down. That was the day her father had died. The death had always assumed he was struck by a tree, because a tree was struck by lightning by luck during the storm and fell on him. Though, there was mostly "city"-like vibe in her district. Industries took so much toll.
Maisy. Anna bit her lip. Poor Maisy did not deserve such ill luck, dying from a sickness that had spread throughout D3. She shook her head, snapping out of her thoughts, turning back to Rulie. Quietly so nobody else heard, she whispered to Rulie, "Don't you worry. I'm going to do everything I can to get you out of here alive. I promise." With that, she gave her a grin and a fake laugh, as if they were getting acquainted. She hoped it wasn't obvious she was from a Career district, because she did not wish to talk with a Career. Not now, not ever unless she must.
