The elevator slowed to a halt as we reached our destination. The doors slowly pulled open, an action that seemed to take forever and we stepped out into Glimmer and Marvels temporary home. We walked further into the room, hand in hand, until we reached the living area. Both Cashmere, and her brother, were sat talking when they noticed our arrival, quickly stopping their conversation to inquire about my appearance. Glimmer looked to Marvel nervously before she started talking. "This is who we were talking about the other night, before we both disappeared." Glimmer now had a dark flush covering her cheeks. A mixture of excitement and nervousness over introducing her soulmate to her mentors.
The mentors smirk at each other in realisation. "So you're the girl who's got my tributes wrapped around her Little finger, I mean I can see why. Don't you agree Cash?" Gloss said turning towards his sibling, after leering at Katniss in obvious attraction. "Of course Gloss, I do have eyes. With a figure like that I imagine it'd be hard not to bend to her every will." She replied, sauntering towards a slyly smirking Katniss. Katniss closed the distance between them until they were fully pressed against one another and leaned it to whisper into Cashmere's ear. "Well, beautiful, there must be something in the water in district one, because you're one of the most gorgeous women I've ever laid eyes on." Katniss stepped back after running her thumb over Cash's bottom lip, leaving her short of breath and with a deep flush from her cheeks all the way down her throat.
Gloss, intending on saving his sister from embarrassment, decided it was time to step in. "So, considering we've heard so much about you, I think it's time we learn your name." Gloss said, his charming smile only adding to his Adonis-like features. Katniss turned to Glimmer and Marvel, both gave encouraging smiles, filling Katniss with confidence. "I'm Katniss Everdeen, it's a pleasure to meet the both of you." Both Cashmere and Gloss' eyes widened comically at the realisation. "I'm guessing you're Gloss and Cashmere Knight?" Katniss asked, the siblings nodding dumbly, still in turned to each other and smiled slowly, their eyes soon welling up with tears. "You're really here aren't you? We've been looking for you since I can remember. We've never been the type of siblings who share easily, but I guess we'll have to learn." Said Cashmere, already pulling me into a warm embrace.
Gloss adopted a perplexed look on his face and turned to question me. "Is it just me, Cash, Marv and Glimmer you're soulmates with or are their others?" He asked with a strange look on his face. Both Marvel and Glimmer stepped forward to flank me, ready to defend me if needed. Gloss immediately recognised this behaviour and became instantly defensive. "I wasn't trying to insult, I'm merely curious." I quickly exhaled a sigh of relief and began explaining. "I have eleven soulmates in total, two of which are the pair of you. There's also Marvel and Glimmer from your district."
"Who else if you don't mind me asking?" It was Cashmere this time who made the inquiry. "No, not at all, you'd find out anyway. From district two there's Cato, Clove and their mentor Enobaria. Both district four mentors Annie and Finnick. Johanna Mason from district seven." I noticed both of them wince at the latest addition, they obviously weren't fond of one another, that should be fun to deal with. "And there's one more. Someone called Thresh Griffin, I don't know wether he's a tribute or not but I've never met him."
Before Cash or Gloss could ask anymore questions I beat them to the punch. "What's your problem with Johanna? Don't say there isn't one, I saw both of you wince before at the mention of her name." Gloss' face instantly became defensive but Cash laid a hand on his chest before he could speak. "She's always been loud mouthed and big headed since we met her. She's obnoxious and rude and abrasive. Hopefully, considering you're her soulmate, she should be slightly more...what's the word. Considerate, yes considerate, hopefully she'll be less of a handful. You'll know what I mean as soon as you meet her." Cash said, probably a more censored version of a Gloss' thoughts.
I smirked suddenly, taking Cash aback. "Well, I guess I'll have to whip her into shape then won't I." I said, grinning salaciously at them both. They looked to each other and laughed loudly, Gloss using the wall for support. "God, you'll be perfect for Johanna, you'll have her on a tight leash in no time," He wheezed out through his laughter. "On a more serious note, you'll have to put up with her despite whatever issues you have. She's my soulmate too and I'll grow to love her just as I'll grow to love the both of you."
"I'm going to see Enobaria now, I'll see the both of you very soon." That was the last thing I said before parting from them with a kiss to the lips. I turned to Marvel and Glimmer, both of whom looked as if they were about to follow me. "If it's alright with you two I'd like to talk to Enobaria alone. With what Cato said last night I know he cares a lot about her, so I want to do this myself." Marvel looked conflicted for a moment, obviously feeling protective, before Glimmer lay a comforting hand on his bicep, instantly calming him. He gave out a sigh of frustration. "Fine. But if you need us, you know we'll be there."
I pulled them both into a quick hug and asked them to tell their mentors to come to my room after dinner before I made my way to the elevator. I pressed the button for the floor directly above and hoped for the best. The doors began sliding open before I realised that It'd stopped moving. I took a deep breath in before I stepped out. This should be fun.
