“They’re barbarians..” Jae muttered so quietly I almost missed it.

I shrugged, “ It’s normal here.”

“But does it not bother you at all what they’re doing these innocent people?” Jae winced, looking at field and the new blood splatter.

“I’m not saying it’s right but that’s how it is” I retorted, losing my cool a split second. I quickly take a deep breath. Most of the time, ‘clients’ don’t get me as riled up as Jae’s doing, “C’mon” I grab her arm quickly walking to our seats.

Once we sit down, we have about 20 minutes of silence with Jae wincing at every blood splatter.

“Quit wincing.” I mutter to her, “They’re already onto you. You’re just making them suspect us more.”

“Us.” Jae whispered, attempting to crack a smile even though she looked at green as the plants growing throughout the stadium, “You’re the boss here..”

I rolled my eyes playing with the ivy that was growing next to my seat. The plants were carefully cared for, attempting to make this dump of a city look good. Like it was the place to be.

A while later Jae leans over, “But are you sure we need to be here..?” She looked pale now.

“As I’ve said, multiple times, they are on to us. Going to The Reaping is about the most normal thing we can do to get their suspicions off of us. We can’t get you home if they’re watching us.”

“Yeah, but couldn’t we just do something else?” Jae asked pulling on my sweater.

I rolled my eyes. Jae knew the answer. I returned to staring at the field but not actually watching what was going on. Jae shivered, tightly gripping the arm of my sweater. We sat like that for a while

(~Author’s Note - I honestly struggled with this. I had no idea where it was going. Sorry for the ending heh heh.. I might use these characters again. Also yes, the main character is currently unnamed. Time to work on the next :]~)
