Everything was wrong. The sun was too bright, reflecting off the grey concrete and making her eyes water. The people in front of her were strangers, young children she might have recognized on the street or maybe not. Her brother was in there somewhere but she couldn't see him, her parents further back and tiny in the distance. If this was the last memory she had at her home, it wasn't right. "Get along," the guard said, and she was unceremoniously hustled from the steps of the Justice Building. The boy sharing her fate was in the same predicament. Taking too large of a step to the left as he tried to avoid his own Peacekeeper, his foot landed on hers. "Watch it," Terraza snapped, a hand on her shoulder pulling her away. The boy was being pulled in another direction where he would, she knew, be put into a room much like the one she was heading toward, to await the final goodbyes from his family and friends. "Well, well. Someone already has a grudge against their district partner," her escort said. Terra didn't say anything. Her escort was wrong, just like everything else about that day. There's just no reason to become friends with someone who was going to want you dead. |
