No Remorse
Chapter Two: Ain't Life Sweet
I guess her new brain made her cut off all loose ends. Maybe that's why she nearly killed me (emotionally, that is). But I guess I'll never know, especially now because of what…happened. I just hope and pray so much that the real her might still be in there somewhere, somewhere inside of her. Maybe her toenails. Because then, she might be able to tell me herself whether or not she loves me. I hope she does. I hope it's her other side (that's what I've taken to calling her new self until I come up with a better name. Right now my mind's too filled with her and bread) that… did that to me.
I suppose you're wondering what they (being the general public) call…Katniss…the Capitol's rabid lap dog. You see, the Capitol originally designed (yes, designed) her for security purposes: smack down crimes, carry out executions and all that bologna. But something set her off. That something you ask? Well, it just so happened that the tributes picked for the seventy-fifth Hunger Games were two twelve-year-olds. Katniss and I refused to train kids to die. Not after Thresh. Not after Rue. Not after us (although technically not us anymore seeing as she's a mad killing machine and I'm a baker…Ain't life sweet).
Anyway, she refused to train the new tributes which deleted her obedience and loyalty file. That was the sole reason I believe the real Katniss (omg! No hesitating!) might still be in there.
I might actually get to have a run-in with Katniss (no hesitating again) because I recently enlisted in the police force. Risen to the rank of undercover operative. No more bread baking! Now I get to pretend to be criminals. Yippee. That's the only reason she and I might have a run-in. She's considered a fugitive and criminal for defying the Capitol. Again, technically.
Ever since Katniss released herself from Capitol control she has become more "against" them that ever before. She's been traveling the entire country, slowly robbing the Capitol of its wealth. Well, I guess slowly isn't the really the word since she was in District 11 one day and then District 3 the next day (which is on the other side of the country).No one seems to know how she does it. I don't think I really want to know.
So anyway, the Capitol thinks that I would be the perfect candidate to capture Katniss and bring her in – considering our, eh-em, history. Right now I'm busy filling in my profile as a bad-ass robber. The Capitol has been sending me scenarios where I rob a bank and then discreetly send the money back later. I must say it has been very successful. The entire public is terrified of me. But it matter not what the public thinks, they're just a bunch of terrified cows. No, it matters if Katniss and him see through it or not. Right now the people of Panem consider me the most dangerous living thing to ever walk this Earth, second only to Katniss and him.
A/N: Again, it's short and I know it. I have certain cut off points that I am forcing myself to stick to for dramatic and climatic effect. This is a work in progress and after all the chapters that I put up today I will probably not update for another two – three weeks because I have finals. I hope you guys liked it and check out my other stories. You know what's coming, Read and Review! :]
Enjoy Writing,
