District Twelve, 14 days before the 74th Reaping Day. . .
Erebus's Point Of View
It was too easy breaking into the district, but I have a mission to fulfill on behalf of Nyarly. Through reading the minds of a few people, I learned where this 'Katniss Everdeen' lived and made my move silently and using a smaller size than what I was used to. Using my powers, I was able to enter the girl's house undetected by any Peacekeepers and began searching for my target. I found her in a small bedroom with a younger female sound asleep with her. I suppose that would have been her sister. For a split second, I considered implanting Death into the younger girl, but then I remembered what I was supposed to do.
*flashback to earlier conversation with Nyarlathotep*
". . .to ensure that they unite, I want you to implant Death into Katniss Everdeen. . ." the Nyarlathotep memory echoed.
*return to present time*
Using the head on the male half of my two-sided body, I gently pushed the younger girl away from my target, but when it was done, the young girl awoke. Calmly speaking to it and reading the child's mind to figure out her name, I said in a lullaby-like tune,
"Hush, little Primrose, don't say a word,
Erebus's going to get you a mockingbird,
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Erebus's gonna buy you a diamond ring."
The young girl called Primrose fell asleep and curled into a fetal position. I then turned my attention towards Katniss, who simply stirred in sleep as the moon shined in the sky outside the building. I finally then began the implantation process by charging power into the horns on the head on the male half of my body.
Katniss Everdeen's Point Of View
I awoke to the sound of something charging, but when my eyes opened, I saw a two-sided monster standing before me.
"Hmm, you are Katniss Everdeen, correct?" it asked.
"Yes." I answered weakly.
"You should not have awoken, but alas, I must charge power into me so that I, Erebus, can perform a deed that must be done. Do you have hatred for the Capitol, Katniss?"
"I can't disclose such information. If I do, then I'll be punished."
"I see. Well then, I absolutely HATE the ACCURSED Capitol and there is no hiding anything from me. I can read your thoughts."
"Wha- Wha- What?!"
"Your thoughts are now a jumbled mess. Earlier, I could sense a deep hate for the Capitol. What fuels that hatred, Katniss? You can be honest with me."
"M- My father is dead. Killed in an accident. Personally, the history of this nation, Panem, fills me with seething anger that I cannot act upon."
"Panem's corruption not only affects you, but it is affecting things beyond. To eliminate this problem, unfortunately, Panem must be destroyed, Katniss."
"Destroy Panem? How are you capable to doing this?"
"I can't, but something that I must implant within you has that capability. The process will be painful if you remain awake, so I will put you to sleep now. Rest, Katniss, for if you wake, unbearable pain is sure to follow."
Third Person Point Of View
Katniss fell asleep and once she did, Erebus began the implantation process again. Outside, elsewhere in the district, Peacekeepers had finally found the hole that Erebus had torn in the fence that surrounded the entire district.
"What do you think tore this hole open in the fence?" a Peacekeeper asked another.
"Hell if I know. This flaw will allow beasts inside, so we better repair this." the second Peacekeeper replied.
The Peacekeepers got to work repairing the fence at the point where Erebus had torn open and it was done in only five minutes. At that point, people got up and suddenly, a scream came from the Everdeen residence. Moving quickly, the Peacekeepers went there and found Erebus, having completed implanting Death into Katniss, escape by leaping into the ceiling a opening a massive hole. From there, Erebus went back to where he had torn his hole into the fence and, seeing that the damage was repaired, undid those repairs by simply tearing a bigger hole in the fence, this time also tearing open small holes elsewhere in the fencing.
