Maize's POV
I can see through him, right through him. He likes me, and he made it obvious. I take his hand anyway, if I am to make it in this strange new world then… well I must feign ignorance. Persei is dangerous, I can see his influence on people, even if his rank is considered low.
Persei's POV
The sliding doors shut behind us and I half lead half drag Maize towards the admissions computer, I scan my finger and then tell maize to place her right hand on the screen, keeping her aft hand firmly in mine. She does as asked and I lead her away into the elevator, past the staring eyes of the lobby goers.
The doors shut and I feel her try to pull her sweaty hand out of mine, I hold it harder still, not allowing her to pull away and jab the '94' button. The building has 100 floors, it takes approximately ten minutes to get to the ninetieth floor, there are sixteen elevators and all of them have to cross over in certain places, It is a tiny space, one and a half metres squared at the maximum. I turn to face Maize again.
"So, it's just you and me now." I say, I unclasp her hand and place both my hands on her hips, sliding them up her back.
She flinches and tries to step back but meets only the cool surface of the mirror, she calls out.
"Help!"
Maize's POV
I scream help again, the elevator has only reached floor 30 and it appears to be moving sideways now. I want to kick the foul man who wants me and I try, unsuccessfully as my foot reaches only one of the three mirrored walls. How are we still on floor thirty? We are still moving sideways.
Persei grabs me and pushes me against the wall into a sitting position. I am so close to the button that I could just reach out and push the "Doors open" button, Persei gets there first, he jabs the button emblazoned with the words 'back to servicing' and I hear the rails of the lift turn, in one swift movement we are headed downwards, my gut churns, If there's one thing I hate it's underground.
I feel a jerk of discomfort and we reach the end of the line and a deep male voice says from the intercom "Servicing Department" Persei speaks.
"you put up a fight so I'm taking us to a place where we won't be found, the lift servicing department, it hasn't been used for 13 years, we have hours here and nobody to hear your pleads."
He moves closer and closer, till I can smell his breath on mine. I freeze as he puckers his lips and presses them against mine, forcing his tongue into my mouth. It tastes sour like something old and smells like pepper. He reaches into his bag and pulls out something shiny and silver, I feel a stabbing pain in my arm, the world is black.
The first thing I notice when I wake up is that I am naked, nothing covers me, there is a syringe on the floor and my clothes in a pile. Persei is in the corner of the room, wearing large green headphones and humming.
"Oh, you're awake? we'd better get going then, the hour that Plutarch gave us to show you the building is almost up, you're needed in office, your clothes are over there." He points a bony finger to the corner of the lift. I. Hate. Him.
I reach out my hand and pull out the pile of my clothes. I put them on, Persei inches forward and strokes my stomach and waist.
"So young, Maize, so young…" he smiles and bares his perfect teeth. Something twists in my gut and I know, that I have changed, and my innocence is lost. When finally I am fully dressed, I look in the mirror. My hair, many thanks to Cinna and his powerful hairdressing gel is still perfect it has cprung back into its braided curls. I look ok, if not slightly pale, but nobody would guess that Persei had assaulted me.
Persei stands up and jabs the 99 button, the lift takes off and I can feel it rising under my feet. I imagine how it must have happened down there…
Floor 1- Persei shoved me against the wall…
Floor 10- Persei kissed me…
Floor 20- Persei drugged me…
Floor 30- Persei removed my clothes…
Floor 40- Persei removed his own clothes…
Floor 50- Persei used me…
Floor 60 – Persei kept using me…
Floor 70- Persei touched me…
Floor 80- Persei left me on the floor unclothed…
Floor 90- I wake up and get ready…
Floor 99- we are here, I look at myself in the mirror again briefly, on my neck there is a something reddish purple… A hickey. I fight the urge to sprint from the lift the moment the doors are open.
***.
The Day was alright after that, nobody looked twice at me, and that was how I liked it, I was squirming inside of course, I couldn't think straight, not after the episode with Persei. Finally, at six o'clock Plutarch sent me home. He asked Persei to escort me to my car. God help me… I thought.
Persei smiled and pulled me into the lift again, I took a deep breath.
"so how did you like it?" he says nonchalantly as soon and the doors are shut, smirking.
"My office is nice, It gets a lot of light during the day, and my co-workers are…"
Persei cuts me off.
"- No I mean me and my special welcome for you? I never got too ask, after all. Apologies for drugging you, but I sensed that you might put up a fight. Hopefully next time I won't need too…"
I open my eyes wide
"Oh yes Maize, there will be a next time… and hopefully next time I will finally get to… Slip inside? Shall we say? We didn't have enough time for it this time… But there will be a next time. Don't you worry." He slides his hand into my back pocket momentarily as he guides me out of the lift and out of the building.
Heart hammering I slide into the car and shut the door on Perseis gloating face. I realise that there is something hard in my back pocket. It's a piece of wadded up notepaper, tinted green and pepper scented… it reads
My apartment, midnight tomorrow
7 Causier Ave, City centre, floor 47
Don't be late and make sure to come of the whole Capitol will know your secret.
My spine chills, he wants another 's POV
