Allani let out an exhale, in the end she was still the victor of this gruesome game. No one stood out to her, the only highlight she had during the entire game was when she met Isabel, but that didn't matter much, especially not towards her parents.
Leaving the underground as soon as she was declared the winner, she entered the carriage that always waited for her after every game. On her way home, she looked out the window and watched the children playing along with each other in the streets, completely innocent of the horrible world they were born in. How she wished she was given the opportunity to play along with children her age when she was young. Most the children would avoid her before, their parents telling them of the girl she wasn't. The only person who only ever played with her would be her personal maid, Elena.
To everyone in this world, Allani was cold, her heart frozen, covered deep with snow. But in Elena's eyes, Allani was just a girl who yearned for her parent's love, doing anything just to be noticed by them and gain their false love for just a bit, only to be tortured again for the tiniest slip up.
Behind Allani's stoic face, a small smile started to appear on her lips, reminiscing the times Elena would sneak her cookies and warm milk at night. Her eyes would still be stinging from another crying episode because of her parents but her heart felt warm once she saw Elena holding a tray of cookies.
After her first victory braid, her mother wouldn't make time for her anymore and so Elena stepped up from her position to braid Allani's hair after every hunger games, and it was now their little moment. Allani would share stories of her experience in the underground and how she killed them, despite how traumatic it was just by the stories she would share, Elena would listen to them because she wasn't the one who had to do such a thing just to survive. If anything, she pitied the young woman for having to go through this every year despite the fact that the white haired girl would say that she didn't need her pity, stating that winning was the best feeling in the world. Not that these feelings were even hers to begin with.
Upon arriving at the gates of the mansion, she exited the carriage and walked towards the grand entrance. Every maid that she passed by would bow their heads as a form of greeting and continued on with cleaning the garden, keeping it presentable for the Snows to flaunt their wealth to the people who are deprived of even the smallest of silver coin just to get the food that they need.
The door opened and two boisterous laughs were heard from the large corridors filled with portraits of her and her parents as well as gold they'd show off to occasional guests. Despite the people that came to fill up the mansion, it never once felt like home to Allani, never felt the warmth of love within these halls, instead it was dark and cold. Her footsteps echoed under the chandelier of diamonds and on the marbled floor. Turning to the right, she entered the dining hall and was greeted by her parents laughing and eating all the food only the children of the underground could ever dream of.
