A "New Friend" (kyra/open)

[Deleted]

Nyla came and hugged Abby but then she took off. "Wait, Nyla. Where are you going?" Abby watched her as she ran off, but Abby thought it was a game. "Oh, I get it," she said. "I guess I'm "It" then," and she ran right after Nyla, thinking it was a game of Tag.

[kyra]

Nyla heard feet slapping the pavement behind her, and thrust more force into her legs, going even faster. Even as Nyla sped up though, she knew something was off, the footsteps were lighter, not bulky like a large keeper.. Nyla glanced over her shoulder to see Abby chasing her.
Nyla wondered if Abby wanted to turn her in, but decided she wasn't like that, more likely she was ignorant or crazy. Nyla could fix the first..
Nyla bolted into a side ally, and scaled up a ladder to the rooftops, then she sat to wait for Abby.

Nyla disappeared into an ally. Abby increased speed, trying to catch up. But when she reached the ally, she didn't see anything. "You're too good at this Nyla," she said loudly, wondering if Nyla heard from wherever she was.

[kyra]

Nyla looked down from the edge, wondering again at Abby's sanity, what did she think this was? A game?
"I'm up here, come on up the ladder!" Nyla shouted from above, waiting till Abby was up to tell her the truth.

Abby climbed up the ladder quickly. Once she got up, she plopped down on the roof, breathing heavy. In between breaths she said, "Wow Nyla, you're good at this."

[kyra]

Nyla sighed, "Yep, I wind up running alot." Nyla looked hard at Abby.
"I've been lying, I'm not like you, I am not a capitol girl. I am a distict girl that is now a 'pet' for a game makers wife."
Nyla looked closely at Abby, ready to pounce on her if she screamed, then take off through the city streets and loose her.

For a moment, Abby thought Nyla was joking, but then, she realized it was no joke. "Really? You're from the districts? What do you mean by 'pet' though?" Abby asked.

[kyra]

Nyla watched as Abby stared, then she shrugged, "well, yeah, I'm really a district girl. I'm a pet though. " Nyla realized she would have to explain. "A while ago, my sister was reaped for the games, she made it just far enough that they did interviews with me and the rest of my family. I guess I was too cute though, because the next thing I know a peacekeeper is banging on the door, and then he grabs me and sends me on a train to the capitol. Aparently a gamemakers wife thought I was adorable, and that I would be a cute pet." Nyla pointed to the collar around her neck, " So I'm a capitol dog, or the likeness of it."

[Deleted]

"Whoah! That's..." Abby didn't even know what to say. She knew that Nyla was serious. "So, what are you going to do now then?" She asked Nyla.
