Once we were all in my room and everyone had sat down I debated with myself were is should begin with this conversation. I decided to just get on with it and hope they still excepted me afterwards. "As you all know I have more than one soulmate, but only Cato knows the actual number." Three of them looked thoroughly confused but Cato gave me a comforting smile. Clove looked between the three of them and smiled back at me. "We'll accept you no matter what Katniss, it doesn't matter how many soulmates you have. You could have a hundred for all I care, all that matters to me is that I get to see your gorgeous face once in a while." She smiled sweetly and then blushed as if not believing what she'd just said, Glimmer and Marvel nodded along with her statement.
I took a deep breath and readied myself for what I was about to do. "I don't have a hundred Clove, just eleven. The thing is, you've definitely heard of, if not met six of them." They didn't look surprised or disgusted, which was a relief in itself, but they did look curious and I was prepared for their questions. Instead of being bombarded with questions, which is what I expected, they all sat in respectful silence waiting for me to begin when ready. I was touched by the care they all showed towards me and readied myself for the rest of today.
"The mentors for district one, Enobaria from district two, both from district four and Johanna from district seven." I waited for their replies before Glimmer burst out laughing. We all looked at her strangely before she finally replied. "Sorry I wasn't meaning to be rude but how the hell do you think your going to be able to handle them?" I smirked back at her, raising one eyebrow "I have my ways." I winked and looked back at the others. "So what're your thoughts on this?" Both Marvel and Clove just shrugged but smiled at me, quietly showing their support. Cato, on the other hand, looked slightly concerned.
"What is it?" He turned to me with a look that resembled both pity and protectiveness. "Look, Enobaria is my personal mentor for these games so I've spent most of my life with her. Whilst she may come across as cold towards most people, I know that what she wants most out of life is love. When you tell her of your relationship, she may become slightly over the top in showing you affection but you'll just have to try and deal with it as best as you can. Being without love for so long has taken its toll on her and she'll be like putty in your hands as soon as you tell her."
I grinned at this, it was his own way of giving me his approval. I just had one last thing to reveal to them. This would definitely get a reaction out of them. I asked them to close their eyes and whilst they all looked confused, they complied. As soon as their eyes were closed I stripped off my outer clothes, leaving me in a black bra and matching thong. "You can look now." They slowly opened their eyes, taking up an expression of shock, raking their hungry gazes up and then down my body. "I didn't just strip down to give you all a show, I did it to show you my soulmarks." I pointed out, Smirking.
They all had the decency to blush but their gazes still traveled the expanse of my naked skin. Clove walked towards me, the first one brave enough to take a closer look. Her eyes trailed down my neck, were Enobaria's name flowed towards my pulse point in neat script, to the valley of my breasts, were Johanna's soulmark lay. "God Johanna is a lucky woman." She said with a sigh.I smirked and nodded in agreement whilst the others laughed at her shocked, blushing face.
"Actually I was going to bring that up soon. Since I definitely know that six of them are here I'd like to meet them as soon as possible."I turn and look at Glimmer and Marvel. "Is it ok with you if we go down to the first floor tomorrow and skip training to speak with Gloss and Cashmere?" They looked at each other and gave a slight nod before Marvel turned to me. "That's fine with us and it should make for some interesting conversation." "Why do you say that?" They looked back at each other and grinned.
This time is was Glimmer who turned towards me. "We've both known them for years and whilst us four may be relatively fine with sharing, those two never have been." The confusion on my face hadn't left and Marvel took pity on me. "Basically, what she means is, you'll pretty much have to put up with a pair of jealous, possessive children who won't want to share." "Well we'll just have to deal with that when we get to it, but first we all need sleep." I challenged all of them to say otherwise. Cato headed for the door first but I stopped him with my arm around his waist. He looked at me confused when I smiled innocently back at him."Look at my bed there's plenty of room for us all to share." There gazes quickly turned to my huge bed that took up most of one wall and they seemed surprised by its appearance, as if only just seeing it for the first time.
I turned out the lights and me, Clove and Glimmer climbed into the middle of the bed and got comfortable underneath the sheets. I was laid on my back whilst my girls were draped fully over me, encompassing my muscular form. Glimmer was on the left with Clove on the right, with their heads nuzzling either side of my neck. I had an arm possessively around each of their waists, holding them tight to me as if I was protecting them, causing them to release sleepy love-filled sighs.
My boys slipped into the bed at the sides and slowly moved closer to me. Before giving into sleep they both ended up touching me. Cato, with one of his muscular arms around my shoulders, and Marvel, with his hand softly on my right thigh. Before giving into the urge of sleep myself I realised what they were doing. By basically covering me with their bodies they were offering their own kind of protection during sleep, so that in the event of anyone trying to hurt me, they would sense the intrusion and be able to defend themselves and me. Whilst I could easily defend myself, I was touched by the thoughtful gesture and appreciated it. I gave in to the tempting lullaby of sleep the last thought on my mind of what would happen tomorrow. That should be fun.
