Third Saga: Black Cat
He was confused...Where was he? Why wasn't he come at the bakery?
"Peeta Mellark...do you know why you're here?" The voice sounded like it was underwater and he looked at the speaker confused. His normally bright blonde hair was dirty and matted, stained with the blood that oozed for his forehead, and his blue eyes were dull with confusion.
"No...Can I go home? I want to go home" The speaker smiled sadistically at him and Peeta gagged as the horrid stench wafted over to him, the stench of roses and blood.
"This is your home now Peeta" The man turned on his heel and walked out of the room, leaving Peeta alone with people in white coats who held various needles. The one thing that confused Peeta the most, was how the man's hair was a brighter white than the light shining down on him.
"Veriska? Are you here?" The golden eyed girl glanced up from Rye, looking over at Prim as she nodded dully her voice raspy
"Yes, now go away." Her best friend merely sighed and walked over to her, grabbing the hand that wasn't holding Rye's as she gently admonished Veriska
"When's the last time you ate 'Riska?" Veriska shrugged, her eyes flashing slightly and she suddenly tugged Prim forward. The girl didn't make a sound as Veriska wrapped her free arm around the girl's tiny waist and sighed softly.
"Don't know don't care." Prim glared slightly at her and unwrapped Veriska's arm from herself, rising to her feet.
"Has he woken up?" Veriska nodded slightly and Prim turned on her heel walking down the halls, her blonde hair swishing behind her and Veriska sighed softly
"I want to fuck her."
"Language baby sister" Rye sat up rubbing his eyes, glancing drowsily at his younger sister. She smiled slightly and the smile dropped quickly
"Morning Rye" She muttered lowly as Prim walked back in the room with a tray that held two bowls of stew, two slices of bread and a water bottle. Prim pushed Veriska's legs off of Rye's bed and put the tray on Veriska's lap handing one bowl to Rye along with a spoon.
"Glad to see you're up Rye, you're not insufferable like your sister." Veriska glared at Prim this time and hmphed eating a spoonful of stew as Rye laughed softly eating some stew himself.
"Are you two sure you aren't dating?" At both girls blush he laughed louder, his laugh quickly dying off as his eyes grew sad
"Tyree would've gotten a kick out of this.." Veriska went quiet as did Prim, and the only sound was of the two siblings eating their stew. "Any word on Peeta?" Veriska threw a sideways glance at Prim, and was saved from having to answer by Finnick storming into the room. He walked right over to her and grabbed the bowl of stew out of her hands, ignoring her loud 'hey!' as he drained the rest of it out of the bowl.
"Sorry I was hungry, we're needed in command dear." Veriska sighed and nodded, running a hand through Rye's hair and she looked him dead in the eyes whispering softly
"We're going to get through this alright?" He nodded slightly and she kissed his forehead, turning on her heel and she waltzed out of the room with Finnick following behind her.
"Nice of you to finally show up to a meeting Veriska."
"Don't test me, not in the mood" She gave the speaker a bland look ignoring Haymitch's loud laugh as she sat down, her hair falling into her eyes.
"That's it! That's what we need!"
"And what exactly is it that we need?" She received no answer as President Coin speared Haymitch with a dark look, and turned towards Veriska. Her face turned into a pleasant smile and flags went up in Veriska's mind, warning her not to trust this woman. She glanced over at the seat next to her and noticed it was Katniss sitting there, and Katniss had the same exact look in her eyes that indicated she was thinking exactly what Veriska was thinking.
"Veriska, I need you to do a favor for us." 'Us' Who was 'Us'? Ignoring that part for now she looked up at Coin her lips curling into a slight snarl
"Depending on what it is."
"We need you to be our Black Cat" Her eyes flared having recognized the term from the plane after they rescued her, and her voice turned bland and dark
"No." Without waiting to hear what they were going to say, Veriska rose to her feet. Her chair scraped against the floor and she was almost out of the door when Coin's voice rang out, full of glee
"Then I suppose we cannot rescue Peeta." She paused and whipped around. Without realizing it her feet carried her forward to the table, and she slammed her hand on it snarling
"Where. Is. My. Brother?!"
"I'll be your bloody Black Cat." 3 days later they sat in command yet again, and Veriska leaned forward cutting Coin off in her tracks "But not without these three conditions."
"I'm listening." Coin leaned back in her chair, folding her hands together."
"1, Peeta is pardoned for whatever bullshit-"
"Language!" Veriska rolled her eyes ignoring Effie and continued
"He says, 2. Johanna and Annie are freed as well. 3. I kill Snow." The last one had everyone gasping, but Veriska stared Coin right in the eyes as she nodded.
"I agree with all but number 3, we may have to flip for it."
"Veriska, calm down!" She ignored her friend, slamming her fist into the wall repeatedly
"I. Hate. That. Fucking. Woman!" Her nose flared and she stopped in mid swing when small arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Prim's signature smell invaded her nostrils and she turned towards her friend. Her eyes widened when she saw just how close they were to each other. Bright blushes covered both of their faces.
"Calm down." They were so close Veriska could feel Prim's breath on her lips, and before she realized it she was leaning up and Prim was leaning down and then they were kissing. It was soft, and it was gentle and before she could realize it her hands were tangling in Prim's hair and Prim's arms were wrapping tighter around her waist. They stayed that way for a few moments, breaking apart suddenly when the door slammed open and Katniss stormed in only for her eyes to go wide. Veriska and Prim moved to different sides of the room and Katniss sighed softly
"Do I need to give you both the talk?"
"No, no, no!" They both chorused at once and Veriska turned on her heel running out of the room hearing Katniss begin to talk in the other room
"Well when in this case, a girl and a girl love each other very much or are just horny as hell..."
