Red Paint
"Well I didn't know that you'd be here." Says a voice from behind us. "Especially you Peeta. I have some unfinished business with you."
My blood turns cold as I turn around to see the person who would possibly be an answer to my questions and see...
Y'all must be wonderin why I'm always doin dis cause I need my creativity to flow to keep on writing😂💪🏻
A man with black hair with a couple of whites. He looks around his forties and his eyes remind me of Cloves. Mean and ruthless. He's wearing a Head Peacekeeper uniform. He has many weapons on his belt that are hooked around his torso like a snow white snake.
I look at Peeta and see him gulp, eyes wide with fear and he's trembling. A sudden surge of anger washes over me. Nobody should make Peeta feel like that, he just doesn't deserve it. He's too sweet and kind and gentle, this man is the exact opposite.
Peeta decides to speak up, just when I opened my mouth to give him a piece of my mind.
"Such a nice surprise to see you here Thread." He's sweating from nervousness.
"Indeed and such a pleasure to see you Miss Everdeen and your visitors." He has a cruel look on his face as he directs his words to me, I see him wrap his fingers around a electroshock through the mirror in the back.
"Mr Thread I do strongly believe that I have asked Mr Mellark to accompany me at the moment so I hope that you can wait for an hour?" Looking at him straight into the eye I make my rebellion known to him.
"I'm afraid that I have not got enough time, I'm sure that I explained that I have some unfinished building with Mr Mellark." He looks at me in the eye, the corners of his mouth going up. He thinks he's already won the fight.
"Peeta is my personal assistant and what I say goes. Do you understand?" I lie and see Madge shift uncomfortably behind me and Prim stuffing her face with food, totally unaware of her surroundings.
(Prim is me af)
Peeta glances at me and Thread takes out his electroshock from the back and points the laser at me.
"Listen here girly, I could shoot you and even kill you and trust me nobody would care or know. Don't cross me and stop interfering." He points the laser beam right into my eye, probably to anger me.
"Katniss" Peeta's soothing voice calms me down a little and he looks at me with pleading eyes. "I'll be back and I'll be fine. Thread doesn't want to kill me after all." He doesn't look sure while speaking though.
"Alright but can you at least give us a moment?" He looks at me and nods and says,
"If I go everyone goes except you both." He lowers the shocker and puts it back in his belt.
Madge winks at me and pics up Prim who was munching on some sausage rolls.
They leave the room with Thread and he slams the door while leaving.
"What's wrong Katniss? What would you like to talk about?" Peeta walks towards me.
"I want to know what's going on. What is happening Peeta? What business does he have with you? And most importantly why wasn't I allowed in that corridor? I know that you're not a typical Capitol Boy."
"Alright I'll be honest with you but I cannot tell you everything here. All your questions will be answered if you climb through the vent at your room at four thirty. Follow the red paint in the vents." He takes my hand and kisses it and tingles spread through my whole body from his soft lips touching my hand to my toes.
This gesture is a formal goodbye for now. At least I hope. Thread ruins the moment by flinging the door open Prim chatting away to Madge who peeks through the door.
Peeta smiles at me and Prim and Madge enter. Prim runs to the food and lunges at some Pita bread.
(see what i did there?😏)
"See you later Katniss. Oh and just so you know Avoxes will be here if you need any help with finding the rooms for your guests." He walks to Thread and Thread shuts the door when Peeta goes out.
"Are you fine?" Madge and Prim say in union.
"I'm chill." They both laugh at my response. "Oh and Gale just called me to tell you that he'll be here tomorrow." Madge says eyeing the food.
"You know what? I'm going to my room because I'm so tired. You'll find your way back right? With the help of the Avoxes?" I lie because I need to get ready for climbing through vents.
"Don't worry bout us sis. Just sleep. It's been a long day for you." Prim says through a mouthful of Enchiladas.
I smile and bid my goodbyes. I find my way to the room with luck and I rummage through my wardrobe with hopes of finding something I can wear while slithering through soundlessly through the vents.
I find some tights and a long sleeved shirt that is made of some slippery material. They're the only black things and I suppose they'll do.
I check the time after trying them on in the bathroom. It's three thirty already.
I find a nail file with a sharp edge in my luggage and I see the vent behind my bed after looking for both items for a very long time.
I use the nail file to unscrew the nails from their hinges. After all twelve nails are unscrewed I place the vent cover to a side and slither in. Read paint shines like light through the darkness. I'm lucky that it glows in the dark. As I follow the red paint to the floor sliding on my stomach I hear an inhuman noise coming from somewhere in the vent. It almost sounds like a scream...
YAY UPDATE ❤️💪🏻💖💃🏼

GOODBYE FOR NOW
