Nymeria:

„This is bullshit, utter bullshit, Haymitch. We have to fill her in." I heard Cinnas voice from the next door. „We don't. She won't understand. And even if she does: if it goes against our Princess' wills she'll change the plan in the blink of an eye. And further, Peeta and Katniss will be the main focus of Snow. If they suspect anything they will either Kill them asap or even worse take them hostage and question them untill they have our plan. Belive me, they do have ways to get it out of them. The lesser they know the better they're off." Haymitch replied trying to keep his voice down. Drowsiely I opened my eyes. Did i fall asleep? Where was I? I looked around. It was the 12er Penthouse. Ugh. I looked at my phone. 4 am. I got up from the sofa to the other two people that were awake at this inhumane time. As I walked in cinna and my dad spun around instantly. „Its you." Cinna said in relief. „yeah...what are you guys talking about?" „the Plan." Haymitch said with a glass of Scotch in his hand. I raised an eyebrow but keept my mouth shut. „why do you not want to fill Katniss and Peeta in?" was my next question. „Renn knows alot. So does Joanna." „Renn and Joanna arent Katniss." Haymitch threw in before Cinna could say something. „How did you sleep?" Haymitch turned around to me. „When did i fell asleep?" I asked back. „Around 3" He answered. „You didn't miss anything important though i think. Cinna was just filling me in." He looked down his glass. Silence. Cinna cleared his throat. „I will head over to the studios. We will have to do a lot of work for the presentation of the tributes tomorrow and uhm...i wanted to check something on the costumes. The last cut you know?" He got up and reached for his coat. The studios were right next to place where the tributes stayed, but i doubted that cinna actually had to work on the costumes. I gave him a grateful smile. „do you want me to pick you up there?" „its fine..." „ok i will pick you up." I reached for his hand. He smiled. „I'll see you later." he said kissing me on the forhead. „Haymitch" he held out his hand and they shook hands. „I'll see you in a couple hours." My dad said. „take care boy." A friendly smile flited over his face.

„sooo..." I said after some silence. I knew Cinna wanted to give me some time with Haymitch. I didn't expect it to be this awkward though.

„are you alright?" My father asked.

„Yes. Yeah sure...why wouldn't i?"

„Just wondered." he muttered and ran his hand trough his hair. All of a sudden I had a thousand questions on my mind. I just didn't know how to ask them. I had thought about some of them when I saw Haymitch in District 12 but i wasn't able to pose them back then either. He looked at me. It was kind of a sad look. „are...you alright?" I asked him. „Me? Yeah yeah sure. It's just...you do look similar to your mother. But...at the same time you could be Eva's daughter." It was weird hearing Mother and Eva distinguished. Eva was my mother to me...but i wanted to more about my real family. „how was she?" I asked. „my biological mother i mean..." „well she was..." „Haymitch?!" I hadn't even realized the skinny, tall guy staning in the door. „nym? Why are you guys awake?" „just talking" I stuttered. „at almost 6 am?" He yawned. „why are you up? Shouldn't you get some sleep?" Haymitch looked at Peeta. „Probably should. But i couldn't go back to sleep." He sat down at the table. „I should Probably go. I have to get Cinna and grab some stuff for tomorr...today's 'big show'" „I'll see you later then!" the male Tribute waved bleariely. „Later." My dad smiled at me and squeezed my hand for a second. „later" I smiled back.

Cinna:

I sat over my sketchbook looking from the drawings over to the almost finished wedding dress. I didn't lie all the way. I did want to check on the costumes. Especially on this one. The wedding dress was probably my biggest masterpiece. And with what we had planned I could only hope that it was not my last. A black feather suddenly loosend itself and slowly fell to the ground. I picked it up. This was not supposed to happen. I'd have to check it trough again. But maybe tomorrow? I was so tired. I placed the feather in my sketchbook and checked the time. 6:15. Damn. There was no time for sleep. I'd have to start preparing katniss and peeta in a bit. The presentation on the carriages was at 10. That was barely enough time to prepare everything. „ugh" I growned and let myself fall on the chair. The discussion of our plan had taken way too much time. Maybe i could just sleep for a couple of minutes. I rested my face on the uncomfortable book and passed out, not hearing the door open and close behind me.

~40 minutes later (A/N i know such a huuuuge jump in time)~

I felt a small hand resting on my back. „Cin? Hey, get up. We'll have to get to buisness in a little bit." I heard a voice somewhere behind me. Slowly I opened my eyes and sat up. „Morning." Nymeria smiled at me. She had slight circles under her eyes. But i did too probably. Tonight I could sleep. I actually hoped that Katniss and Peeta got some sleep. „I brought you Coffee...and Breakfast." She kissed me. I was not even half awake. „How can you be so awake? You can't have gotten a lot more sleep than I did." I looked puzzled. „I am not. Fake it till you make it right?" she smiled. I yawned and took a sip of the coffee cup she had placed in front of me. „Thank you." i said still a bit drowsy. „no worries." „When do Katniss and Peeta get here?" „well they've been in Flavius hands for an hour now and since he just did his magic on them for the tour of victors i doubt that it will take very long. Maybe 20 more minutes?" I shook my head to get rid of the tiredness then I stood up to get all the clothes and accessories together. „Na uh." Nym disagreed and pushed me back on the chair. „Eat. You're gonna thank me later." Her way of caring made me laugh a little. I grinned. „yes mom." I said opening the little white bag, finding a blueberry muffin. „thanks again." I grinned. „shush." She said collecting the accessories for Peeta while I ate. Then i collected all the things i needed for the wagon. Just as I finished Katniss and Peeta entered the little studio. Their makeup and hair was perfectly done. „well look at you guys." I said, forcing a confident expression on my face. Katniss looked mad. I almost laughed. It was like we were thrown back exactly one year. I was about to say something when Effie rushed in. „DARLINGS! We have less than an hour to fix you guys up! Hush hush hush!" she rushed. „I'll go check on the wagon. WITH Effie" Nymera winked. She knew how much easier my job would be without effie here. „Meet you there in a bit" I said thankfully and got to work. The two of them put on their costumes and he adjusted them. He worked silently and only Peeta tried to make conversation from time to time which Katniss basically ignored. I could feel the tension building up. When everything was in place I looked at them. „Breathe." I said. „It will all be good. You look amazing. Both of you." was the best soothing advice i would think of. „just remember to smile out there. And that you're a team. Understood?" They nodded. And I walked them to the carriage hall. „When you're ready." I satrted as they were set on the wagon 20 minutes later. „just push the button. You know what is going to happen." Katniss looked at me. For an instant I thought to find fear in her eyes. I stepped on the carriage and hugged her tightly. „you've done this before. You can do this again." She hugs me back . „Thanks Cinna." she Whispers. A horn sounds and i stepped of the wagon. „I believe in you two." I said before their wagon started to move. As they're out of sight i return to the studio to watch the tribute parade on the TV inside. Absorbed in tought i opened my sketchbook to get the feather and finish the wedding dress...but the black feather was gone.
