You have no idea how sorry I am for not updating sooner! The last few weeks of school have been ridiculously busy, plus I had cheerleading tryouts to worry about. (Btw…I made it!) Anyways, here's the next chapter you definitely deserve(:

"Jayce? Open the door, you moron!" I pound my fists against the door, aggravated.

"Are you sure this is their room?" Austin asks me.

"Of course, this is their room. Says so right here." I say confidently, showing him the slip of paper with my brothers' names on it and Room 293 clearly printed below.

Austin doesn't have time to answer because the door swings open and Jayce looks at me with an exasperated expression on his face. "Are you here to tell me you were right?"

"What do you mean?" I burst. He's been playing this game all day and I'm tired of it, I just want to know what's bothering him so much.

"We saw the footage, Fallyn. You saw the footage."

"So?"

"You were right. Mother gave you that nightlock pill so you could find her. She knew they were about to be captured."

I'm stunned. It had never occurred to me how obvious the whole ordeal seemed. Yet if the nightlock pill was a hint as to where she was, where the underground Capital's location was, then what did she mean by it?

"We could ask Rhaina what the nightlock pill means." Austin suggests. I look at him as if he's lost his mind. "She's a history freak. Probably knows where that pill will lead you, too."

Jayce shrugs. "It couldn't hurt."

I nod my head. "Okay…what about Lyle?"

"What about him?"

"Does he want to go with us?"

"Um…I'm not sure that he's up for it." My eyebrows wrinkle together in confusion.

"Jayce, what are you not telling me?"

Jayce sighs. "He's not doing so hot, Fallyn. After seeing Father do that…"

I know what he means. I had never imagined that Father was that cruel, Mother, perhaps, but absolutely not my father; the same one with kind eyes that bakes chocolate chip cookies for my brothers and I, the same one that loves unconditionally. It was quite the shock to see him acting in such a cruel way. I decide not to interrogate Lyle and let him heal on his own. "Let's go then." I say.

"And why are you here?" Rhaina asks, wrapped in a towel with a toothbrush in her hand.

Austin doesn't hesitate to respond, and I can't help but wonder if it's because he's had his entire life to learn how to communicate with her without being overwhelmed with insults. "Fallyn needs your help with something."

"…Wait a minute. You come all the way down to my room and interrupt my self-pampering session because your girlfriend has a question for me?"

Jayce's glances at me quizzically. I want to deny her accusations, of course, but a question continues to throb in the back of my head. Where would I be right now if I hadn't accidentally turned the television on?

"Look. Rhaina, Austin says that you know a lot about history and I wanted to ask you about that nighlock pill."

Rhaina hesitates. "I wouldn't suppose this has anything to do with your mother and father's broadcast." I look at my feet.

"I—I just need to know where they are." She nods her head finally and I step into the room, glancing around at all the clothes lying around the room and the rumpled bed sheets. Is this what an average teenage girl's room is supposed to look like? My thoughts are dismissed when Rhaina pulls a large book out from under a blue hoodie and flips through some pages.

"Your mother gave you a nightlock pill. Right?"

"Yes. Well, no. She had it delivered, in a way."

"From that little girl, right?"

I sigh. "Her name was Violet, Rhaina."

"Do you know why she had Violet deliver that pill to you?"

"…Well, not exactly."

Rhaina nods. "This—" she gestures to the book—"is the community directory for every citizen currently living in District 13." My eyebrows wrinkle together in confusion.

"What do we need that for?" I ask. Rhaina doesn't answer, just flips through several pages before landing on one that seems to please her.

"Violet Harrison is from District 5."

"And?" I ask, frustrated.

But Jayce seems to understand what this means. "Mother and Father are in District 5." He says finally. Rhaina nods.

Whew, glad that's done. The next updates will come much more quickly, I promise! Please remember to review though, because it inspires me to update quicker(:
