I walked confidently from the elevator into the living area, quickly confronted with the image of Brutus and Enobaria talking on the sofa. I instantly became jealous, I knew it was irrational but I couldn't quite quell the feeling. I softly cleared my throat gaining the attention of both of the mentors. Their conversation stopped immediately, Enobaria lifting an inquisitive eyebrow and Brutus' expression turning hard and cold.

I turned towards Enobaria and let a soft smile take over my features, my previous jealously momentarily forgotten. "May I speak with you?" I asked, the growing smile on my face catching Enobaria off guard. She opened her mouth to reply but Brutus beat her to it. "I'm sure whatever you need to say can be said in front of both of us." "It's personal." "Why do you even want to talk to her, you don't even know h..." Enobaria cut him off. "It's fine Brutus, don't get so defensive." He turned to her with a scowl but she had already turned towards me. "We can talk in my room, follow me. She lead me to a door at the far side of the room and let me inside before shutting the door herself.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked, and eyebrow raising in obvious question. The first words that came to mind burst from my mouth. "I'm Katniss Everdeen it's nice t..." She cut me off with a gasp as tears began to run down her face. I immediately back tracked, thinking she's was upset by the revelation. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. If you're with someone, or something like that, I'll leave you alone if that's what you want. I'd never want you to be uncomfortable, even if it means we're not together."

When I finished talking she shook her head, a soft smile on her lips. "I'm not...I'm not rejecting you, it's just been so long without you. I feel like I've waited a lifetime and suddenly you're right here in front of me. Although I'd never want to leave you, it's nice to know you'd care enough to let me. It says a lot about you that even though we're soulmates, meant to love each other until our last breath, you'd let me be with someone else if that's what I wanted. You would give up your happiness for my own, without even knowing me?"

"I would give my life for you, for any of my soulmates." I reply, a smile taking over my face as one took over hers just minutes before. Her eyebrows raised in question and I knew exactly what she was asking. "I have eleven soulmates in total, I hope that won't be a problem for you?" She shook her head immediately. "I have no reason to be upset about it, I'm just curious. As long as I can spend time with you, and be close to you, I have nothing to be bothered about. Do I know any of them, if you don't mind telling me." She asked, her expression soft, curious but not forcing me into anything.

"I'm pretty sure you'll know, or at least know of, most of them. There is Gloss, Cashmere and their tributes Glimmer and Marvel from district one. There is Finnick and Annie from district four and Johanna from district seven." I saw her cringe the same as Gloss and Cash when I mentioned Johanna. " I'm also soulmates with both of your tributes and someone I haven't met yet called thresh." "So you're the one they've both been mooning over, Cato came to see me this morning with the worst case of bed head I've ever seen. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" She asked with a wicked grin on her face.

I grinned back, happy about how easy it was to talk to her. "We slept, nothing more. Why, are you jealous that you're not my first? Even so, when the time comes, I'm sure you'll make it worth my while." I said with a seductive smirk, walking closer to her until I was pinning her against the wall with my body. I brought one hand on her neck, the other placed firmly on the small of her back, and brought her closer to kiss her. Passion was thick in the air as I sucked her plump bottom lip between mine, extracting an exquisite moan from her.

I pulled back before we got too carried away, reminding myself that we'd only just met. "That's a taste of what's to come next time we're alone, I'm looking forward to it already." I said stepping back, putting some space between us before I decided to go for round two. She grinned at me, obviously in agreement. "Trust me beautiful, I'm counting down the hours." She replied with a coy smile. "Well aren't you quite the charmer." "I try my best, gorgeous." I giggled at compliments, it was nice to have someone say things like that once in awhile.

I stepped away fully and turned towards the door. "Unfortunately, I have to get going. Training will certainly have finished and my drunken asshole of a mentor won't be happy if I'm late." I said, rolling my eyes at the thought of Haymitch. "One last thing before I go. Would you mind meeting me at my room tonight, I want to show you my soulmark and like hell I'm doing it in front of Haymitch."

"That's fine, I never really liked Haymitch anyway. I'll be there after dinner, even though Clove and Cato will probably whine about not being able to see you when I can." She replied, a mischievous smile on her face at the thought having something to hold over her tributes. "I'll see you tonight, my love." I said, lifting her hand and placing a kiss upon it. I turned one last time before I left, seeing her face flush and I walked away chuckling to myself.

I saw Cato and Clove returning from training as I was walking towards the elevator and gave them both a parting kiss. I entered the elevator and turned to face the door, catching Brutus' eyes as the doors started to close I gave him a nod of recognition, his face not as cold as it had been previously as he returned the nod.

I realised that when I returned to my floor I'd have to deal with a mentor full of questions. "Well." I began, muttering to myself. "This should be fun."
