Chapter Text
“Where are we going again? i want to go somewhere warmer 1 was a bit cold.” she asked Lucy Gray
“We’re going somewhere good sweetheart, but i can’t spoil the surprise can i! besides we only have a few more hours til we’re there.” Lucy Gray replied
She groaned, she just wanted to perform again and meet new people. They’d been traveling for about five days and she was getting tired. Maude Ivory loved the covey but sometimes she needed her space to make new friends and stuff. Much to her dismay the friends she makes she’ll rarely see again.
Like Dill from eleven, she was so sweet, though her coughing gave her some struggle from making friends. Maude Ivory never shied away from her.
Or Bobbin and Wovey from eight, she loved learning how to mend clothes back together and sew little button shapes. Wovey gave her a small piece of fabric the day she left, sewn into it was a small “W” and “MI”.
This was one of the only things she kept with her at all times, nothing else was important enough for that. Well except for two pictures, one with the entire covey and another of district twelve. She’d always thought it was important to keep home with her.
Hopefully, the covey would make another stop at eleven and eight sometime soon, but that was just wishful thinking.
She’d often had difficulty traveling so often as she was the youngest, being 12, while all the others were at least a few years older. Don’t get her wrong she absolutely loved all of them, but she really needed someone her age to hang out with.
Taking a step towards the long stream they’d been walking next to she grabbed a rock. It was a medium size and flat, her favorite type. She loved painting one rock based on each district she had visited, for 9 she made a small wheat field, 1 a pretty jewel, 11 a fruit tree and 8 a button. So far she’d only visited districts 11, 8, 9, and 1, in that order. Meaning, they could be going to pretty much any district, so she needed a good sized rock for whatever she painted.
After about an hour or two, it was getting dark, Maude Ivory felt herself falling behind the walking a bit as she was so tired.
When Lucy Gray called back to her “Maude Ivory! We’re here!”
Looking to the horizon, all she saw was water and a gorgeous sunset.
“Welcome to four.” Lucy Gray smirked
