Meetings
Just so you kno I donut🍩have special days to update because I'm too busy reading werewolf books. AAAND I HAVE 100 ish reads like I only wrote this book last month or whet?!💘tysm😘
Now back to this hideous story💃🏼
I pull my hand out of Peeta's and turn around to see...
The Capitol Darling, Finnick Odair. He smirks and tilts his head to a side observing me, not moving away from me an inch.
I roll my eyes and step a couple steps back. He smirks even more and says;
"Miss Everdeen I hope you wouldn't mind me accompanying you inside?"
He smiles flashing his pearly whites at me.
I must admit that Finnick Odair is one of the most attractive men alive but I've never personally felt drawn to him in general. He is just as pretty and proud as a peacock.
"No, not at all." I lie trying to smile a little.
This only makes him smirk even more. And he licks his lips.(for y'all that have forgotten this he actually does dis in Catching Fire. Sorry I'm a sucker for Finnick and Peeta. Continue dear reader)
I feel an instant urge to smack that stupid smirk off his face. And I glare at him as he approaches me and hooks his arms into mine.
Peeta coughs behind me to get my attention. I smile and take it as an opportunity to escape from Finnick but he holds his grip tight so I just turn my head.
"Miss Everdeen I'm sure Mr. Odair wouldn't mind introducing you to the Victors I suppose?"
"Of course not. I'd love to introduce Katniss to the Victors. We could bond a lot." He winks at me while saying the last sentence.
"That is good to know. I have some business to attend. Goodbye Mr. Odair and Miss Everdeen."
"Goodbye Peeta, see you soon." I say smiling at him as he turns to leave. Finnick gives him a Capitol wave.
As soon as Peeta leaves Finnick's gaze is adverted to mine and he opens the door and says;
"Ladies first."
"Oh thank you so much Mr. Odair. I'm honored."
"Anything for you Miss Everdeen."
I roll my eyes and step inside and I see a big banquet set up in a corner with some chairs and couches set up in one corner. There is a miniature pool, for Finnick probably and a dance floor with a bar in the back.
All of the eyes land on me as I enter, Finnick trailing behind me. I ignore them because I've never liked being the centre of attention in general and head to the banquet because I didn't have breakfast this morning.
There are so many choices and this makes me dizzy. Here in the Capitol people have tons of choices when the Districts only have one choice. At least the merchant section gets to eat something but from where I come from, the Seam it's either starve or go find food.
I feel disgusted by the Capitol and my appetite has vanished into thin air. I make my way to the end of the banquet: desserts. I keep eying the food and feeling pure anger to the Capitol so I don't notice a girl in front of me and bump into her.
Plates crash and food spills everywhere on the floor. My dress that Effie made me wear this morning is ruined but by the looks of the girl hers is too.
She glares at me and I instantly notice her, Johanna Mason District 7, Victor.
She won her games by pretending to be a weakling and crying all the time. The other tribes saw her as easy pray and ignored her in the arena, thinking she'd die anyway. But she didn't and in the end of the games Panem saw how she could kill people ruthlessly. I remember her bringing an axe down onto someones chest and killing them, not even blinking.
But I'm not afraid of Johanna Mason. I never was. But her yell gives me another hint about her personality.
"You stupid little bow and arrow scum! Do you know how much it took me to pile all that food on my plate Catpiss?"
Feeling sudden anger I speak up, the other Victors turning around to look at me while I do so;
"No and I don't care about how you chose your food but I do care about how you ruined my dress Red and Angry."
"Stay away from me Catpiss."
"What if I don't Reds?"
She looks at me like she's ready to kill and suddenly jumps on me her hands aiming my throat.
I fall backwards by her pouncing on me and she starts to strangle me. I kick her stomach and try to roll away from her but she's too strong.
"So you really are nothing without your bow and arrows."
I bring my legs up to my stomach area and kick with all the strength I have. She loosens and and I take it for an opportunity to punch her in the nose. Blood starts pouring down from it like a waterfall.
She gets ready to make the next move but Finnick jumps in and drags her away from me. She kicks, screams and swears at me. I'm just sitting dumbfounded.
Another Victor offers his hand and I take it. He pulls me up and makes eye contact with me.
"I'm Beetee. Beetee Latier."(his real surname btw🤗)
"Katniss Everdeeen." I croak and instantly cringe. That could not have been my voice.
"That was some good fighting back there Katniss."
"Thank you Beetee." I say my voice hoarse.
He smiles and guides me toward an Avox.
"So Katniss you'll have to go to the medical ward because of your throat."
"I can tell."
Beetee chuckles and rolls his eyes at my sarcasm.
"Tell me Beetee on a scale of 1 to 5 how bad is it?" I ask curiously seeing Johanna giving me an evil eye.
He stops and stands in front of me examining my neck.
"I'd give it a scale of four and a half."
Well Johanna worked her magic well.
He takes me to the Avox ,the other Victors watching us curiously.
When he reaches the Avox he says;
"Please take Miss Everdeen to medical ward. I do believe that her vocal cords have been damaged."
The Avox nods her head and gives me sign to follow her. I understand and leave the room.
As soon as I'm out I let out a huge breath. I didn't notice that I was holding my breath.
The Avox takes out a slip of paper and starts writing. I watch her scribbling away.
She hands the piece of paper to me and I read it. It says;
"Do you know sign language Miss?"
I look at her and signal in sign language;
"Yes. I do."
I know it because of my little sister Prim. Her throat closed up when she was 6 because she was sick. We communicated by sign language.
She smiles gratefully and signals;
"Shall we?"
I signal yes and follow her.
We reach the medical ward immediately. She writes my damage on a piece of paper and gives it to me signaling me to give it to the doctor.
I thank her in sign language and she leaves.
I push the door and step inside. A man is sitting in the corner with a table surrounded with paper stacks.
He looks up to me and smiles.
"Miss Everdeen what a pleasure to see you here I'm Doctor Aurelius.
I give him the slip of paper and he reads it grimly.
"I see let's get your vocal cords fixed shall we?"
I nod and let him examine my neck and throat. My mouth hurts after a while because he's making me open it wide.
He makes me shut my mouth and says;
"You'll have to rest your vocal cords for two weeks. That means whisper talking and not shouting or singing loudly. And you'll have silicon around your neck."
I nod silently and watch him go fetch something from a drawer.
"Here is your silicon. I'm going to place it around your neck so it will hold its structure and position."
He places it on my neck and says;
"You may leave now. I have your prescription here."
I nod and leave the room. I don't think that I want to go back to the lair of Victors for now.
I try to find my way back by trying to remember the portraits on the walls. After wandering around the corridors aimlessly I see one that I recognize. I increase my speed running through the corridors and crash into someone.
"I'm so so so sorry. Are you alright? Are you hurt?" I say getting up, trying to see the person that I dived into.
"I'm alright. What about you?" The silhouette says. It's a bit dark so I can't see his face even though the sound is masculine.
I see his outline and he stands up and helps me up. He looks at me even though I cannot see him and says;
"Katniss? What are you doing here?"
I look closely and realize that the silhouette is actually....
CLIFFHANGER 🎏
