event 01 ; hunger.
Since Ava was smaller than most fifteen year old girls, and most people in general, she found that as long as she continued keeping her breathing normal and avoiding lighting up-- quite literally-- she could get by without being spotted by both people and beasts. Thankfully, this was to her advantage, as she had been able to grab quite a few things scattered around the large grounds they had been forced to roam. Occasionally, she'd even spark a flame, just to see where she was going. The person in charge said fires weren't exactly recommended here-- this entire place was one huge problem for her.
Yet her partner was still nowhere in sight, whoever they were.
Still, she had gathered enough to keep her going for now. She wasn't in this to win, she was in it to survive, and if people wanted to slaughter themselves, she wanted no part in it. Already leaning against the tree for a rest, exhausted from scampering here and there, she tried to block out the yells from all over the apparent arena. A couple of cans of beans easily cooked if she wanted to eat them, a few bandages she didn't need and a flash light without batteries-- wonderful.
She wished she wasn't alone doing all this by herself.
But, the sound of someone approaching rang out and she held in a breath, snapping out of any negatives thoughts and only focusing on holding back any added color to her skin. Her heart was probably going 50 miles an hour but she didn't dare look behind the tree, there was no reason for her to, it wasn't important at all-- shit, the beans had been left in plain view.
They knew she was here and they were going to take her food.
