The motivation this just gave me
Dear black readers,
Donโt be afraid to write that fanfic . Regardless of the film, celebrity, book, show, character, sexuality, genre, or whether you think it's good or not write it! There isn't nearly enough fan fiction for us to appreciate or relate to as it is. Weโre just as important as any other reader and if the fandom claims that the character would never be interested in a black person, and?! How the hell they know? There's a reason itโs called fan fiction... Don't be ashamed to write it because you fear nobody will read it, they will. It's important, in my opinion, that black readers be able to visualize themselves in the book. So write the story! ๐ซถ๐พ

Being the pastors daughter meant you had to always be on your best behavior, never stepping off the right path, walking the straight & narrow path, and her eyes towards heaven. That was until a certain outlaw rode into your life, and taught you sometimes it okay to have a taste of hell with a little bit of heaven.
AN: readers last name is Bennett.

Divider by saradika
It was the same schedule: Wake up, pray, work, eat, give thank, sleep, repeat. It had been the routine for 20 years. Well, maybe just for you. The family consisted of her mother, father, 2 brothers, Michael and John, and then yourself. Father raised the 3 of you to have unwavering faith and trust in a higher power no one would see while you were still alive. In a way, if offered stability to your family, and yourself.
But it also came with rules, which in your case, sucked, especially being the only girl in the house. You werenโt allowed to go out late, while your brothers could come home as late as early morning. Your father wanted his โlittle girlโ to be, as he said โthe gem of the Bennett nameโ , and for the most part, you didnโt know what else to be, other than a farmer.
The town you resided in had enough fertile soil for people to grow their food, there was even a lake not too far from town with a few trees close by. You used to swim there, before some men decided to ransack the town. That night everyone met in the church since the raiders burnt the town hall to the ground. That very night the leaders of the community, including your father, all agreed to hire mercenaries to keep the town safe.
If this wasnโt desperation, you didnโt know what else it could be.
When everyone got back to the farm, you and your brothers questioned your father. His only excuse was โThere are some times in which we canโt wait for God to save usโ, and there was no further argument. โThis is something we canโt pray our way out of, child! Maybe one day youโll understand.โ He shouted, making you shrink.
The next day you woke up early on the property and walked over the kitchen, where Michael was packing up a bag along with your other John. โWhatโs the occasion?โ You asked. โPa told us weโre going with him to meet the mercenaries the next town over.โ Your brother, Michael said in a rushed tone, sitting down to stuff his belonging in a bag. โYou never told me that.โ You said, walking towards him. โWell youโre not my mother.โ He said, not looking up at you. โBut I am your sister, and older than you.โ You added.
โBy 5 minutes.โ He said, smiling up at you. Your mother had given birth to you first on a winter day, and then Michael a few minutes later. You didnโt know if it was the fact you two were born on the same day or being twins, but you were closer to Mike then you were John.
โAre you two bickering again?โ Your mother said, walking in. โWe were just saying our goodbyes, Dove and I.โ Mike said, putting on a smile and slinging his arm around your neck.
You had adopted the nickname Dove after your 10th birthday by your father. To him, the name symbolized what he wanted you to be: pure, innocent, peaceful. For the most part, you were pure, you didnโt have a choice to be anything but, being the pastors daughter and all. A part of you didnโt mind being stamped as โHolyโ but that also meant you didnโt have the same freedoms or privileges you wouldโve loved to have.
You were snapped oh of your train of thought when your father came from outside and called for your brothers. Three horses were already set up, belonging to them. None for you. โWeโll be back by the end of the week.โ He said, kissing your mother goodbye, and then waking to you. โBest behavior, my dove, as always.โ He said, kissing your forehead before riding away, your brothers behind him.
The next few days were full of chores, errands, and work. And boredom. Then came the day they were expected back, your mother stood next to you. โPenny for your thoughts, honey?โ Your mom asked, making you nod. โHe means the best for you.โ She said, putting her hand on your shoulder, trying to stick her point. โHe just doesnโt want to see you-.โ โAct out of line? Have fun? Have a real life?โ You interrupted, looking at her. โYou know thatโs not what I meant, love.โ She said, putting some of the vegetables that were grown in a basket.
โHere, take this, throw them out, and get some air.โ She said, basically leading you out of the room. โAnd honey?โ Your mom called, making you look back, โWe only treat you with different rules to keep you safe.โ After throwing the vegetables out, you looked towards the town, and sighed. โSafe my god given ass.โ You mumbled to yourself, walking towards the lake for the first time in a while.
There was a cool breeze coming from the lake, one that you took in with a content look on your face. You laid down in the grass and took a deep breath in, before closing your eyes. After a few minutes, all you could hear was the breeze blowing and the rustle of the leaves. It almost drowned out the noise from the town, as well as the noise in your head. It even almost drowned out the sound of the twig that snapped behind you. Almost.
Your head snapped behind you to see a tall slender boy leaning on a tree staring at you, a small smirk on his face. From his face alone, you could tell he wasnโt a local, you couldnโt even recognize him. You looked him over, his rough appearance a clear sign he wasnโt one to walk over. But his eyes were the most enchanting part of him. Those blue eyes drew you in like a siren to a sailor. And as much as you wanted to drown in them, you knew shook out of the trance; who is this man?
โYou new around here?โ You asked, breaking the silence. He looked you up and down, before meeting your eyes with a wolfish grin, chuckling to himself. โYou could say that.โ He said, looking deep in your eyes. โIโm Billy.โ You nodded your head toward him, โNice to meet you, Billy.โ โSo whatโs your name, honey?โ He asked, the smile never leaving his face. โIโm Bennett.โ You said, holding out your hand. Billy then took your hand and then kissed it, โYou must be the pastors daughter, you and your brothers have the same eyes.โ
Here we go again
He then smirked to himself, โIf I may, humor me Ms. Bennett.โ You immediately turned back around and looked at the water, โI doubt I could make you shut up anyway, so go on ahead.โ You said, making him huff out a short laugh.
โWhatโs a lady like you doing by herself?โ Billy asked, looking over you with a curious look in his eyes. โLike myself, huh? Whatโs that supposed to mean, cowboy?โ You asked, not looking away from the water of the lake. You then heard his footsteps get closer, and then he was right behind you.
โI thought the pastorโs girl would know it would be safer to stay close to the house of the lord, than out here with her back turned, vulnerable.โ Billy said, and you could see his shadow cover your frame, making you turn around, holding your shawl closer to your body, covering your shoulders.
In the moment you turned around, his eyes didnโt hesitate to look over your face, and then your body. Billyโs eyes went down to your neck and chest, making no effort to avert his gaze. โWhat a beautiful ring,โ He said, getting your attention,โ You engaged?โ โNo, itโs my purity band.โ You said, holding it out so he could get a better view, and hoping he would leave you alone.
Instead, you saw a new look in his eyes.
One that let you know he wouldnโt leave you alone.
Interest.
Let me know what you think, feedback is welcome!

Life is good.
โYouโre an odd one, curious even, not having a tribute but here every day.โ Lucy Gray said, taking a bite of the sandwich you gave her, making you chuckle โ Well we all have assignments, I just got one different from everyone else.โ โNow whoโs the mysterious one?โ She asked with a smile on her face. โSo, Calanthe, howโd you end up without a tribute?โ She asked, making your head snap up. โWhatโs you call me?โ You asked, making her shrug. โCalanthe, thatโs your name, ainโt it?โ She asked, making you shake your head. โItโs just a nickname Coriolanus gave me one day.โ Making her raise an eyebrow. โHmmm.โ She hummed, taking another bite.
โSo, that song you sang, did you make it up on the spot, or did you have it memorized?โ You asked, making her nod. โBack home Iโm a performer in the Covey, itโs one of my favorites. Hell of a place too, singing โn dancing,โ she said before looking up at you, โcome and swing by, have a drink and a dance one day, sing your little heart out too.โ You scoffed, rolling you eyes, โNot much of a dancer, or a singer.โ Lucy rolled her eyes, โAnd? Try it, sing a spell.โ She said, scooting towards the bars and looking right in your eyes. โSing what, exactly?โ You asked, and all she did was shrug. โAnything. Give it a shot!โ She encouraged, making it known she wouldnโt take no for an answer.
So you put your water down, and you made up a song.
You come home late,
Fall on your cot.
You smell like something that money bought.
We donโt have cash, or so you say.
So where did you get it and howโd you pay?
Lucy then gave you a small clap, making you flip her the bird. โYou know, you make the Capitol people look good.โ โOh, donโt think that, Iโm just special.โ You said, whispering the last part to her. โOh and what makes you special?โ Lucy asked, looking at you. โHmmm, Iโll tell you later.โ You said, making the both of you laugh.
