The Capitol
One week before the Reaping of the 121st Hunger Games
Aldora is keepings things inside.
How could she not, when the love of her life is married to someone else, someone so great and better than her that she will never feel loved again except he loves her.
It was in university they met. He was studying Literature and she was studying how to be a Gamemaker. Typical stuff that happens in the Capitol.
He looked at her, and her eyes came bluer than they were before. Cupid had thrown her arrow at her, and she wasn´t going to take that arrow out of her body any time soon.
They soon spend a lot of time together. They walked around the previous arenas, especially through the one of the Fourth Quarter Quell; since it was so tropical it was perfect for sex. They were in love. His body next to her body, kissing, touching in each other in ways they wouldn´t like to be told about.
Loving each other.
That all went bankrupt, very soon, when the other guy appeared.
Black, handsome, and with a prosperous future ahead of him, she would totalyly fucked him for the money if she hadn´t been with the love of her life before of that. But then her stupid partner had to bed the other guy, and her love had been destroyed.
For a long time, she didn´t believe in love. She used to think she would be together forever with honey boo, however that wouldn´t make true any time. For a long, she had been alone, afraid of being left behind by everyone else.
Until Mrs. Kell found on her on one of her visits to university, and took her as a protectee. The heir of her game making empire. Mrs. Kell had been a nice woman. She had given her life, she had given her purpose. She had given her everything she needed. Sometimes Aldora´s own mother felt jealous of her, even though she never said it.
For Aldora it was obvious. She knew people wanted to be her for once, to be in her place and do what she was doing. She couldn´t let that go, she just couldn´t. It was her new heaven made on earth.
Then, one year ago, Kelsa told her what she was going to do. She was going to use one last year to teach her everything she needed, and that would be the end of Mrs. Kell´s career. She wanted to retire, to be her children.
Aldora couldn´t understand why Kelsa was leaving her. How dare she forget the bond they had?! She was everything to her, more than her own mother had ever being, and she was going to retire!
The day she knew the news, Aldora smashed a lot of plates. It wasn´t until his saw the love of her on his own massion that he knew the truth.
She had to get him back.
"Are you okay, Ms Contreal?"
She looked back to the arena she made, bellow her. The mutts were being tested, and the gummies bear were doing pretty well.
"Yes, I am fine Kyle"
"Is the arena okay, Ms. Contreal? Do you want to change it?"
"No it´s okay, I am just hungry" she said with a smirk.
And then, the photo she held in her hands of the love of her life fell to the arena, only for the force field to shatter it completely.
What a pity, Aldora thought, Blandus´s face is really pretty.
