Chapter 12: Confront
"I so don't wanna do training today." Santana moans as Brittany wakes her up
"You have to babe." Brittany whispers
"Santana!" Quinn bangs on the door
"I'm getting up!" Santana calls back
"Santana Alice is missing!" Santana jumps out of bed, literally throwing her latex training suit on and grabbing a hairband, throwing her hair back as her and Brittany walk out the door in a collected panic.
"Are you sure?" Santana asks
"She didn't come back last night" Rachel tells her
"Shit." Santana curses "Does this place have a roof?"
"I think so" Tina says "Why?"
"Because knowing her she'll have found it and she might have just fallen asleep up there" Brittany explains, her, Santana and Quinn already walking out the door and up the stairs. The others follow and after many complaints of 'why couldn't we take the elevator?' they reach the top and hoist themselves up onto the roof
"This place is beautiful" Brittany smiles as they start searching. It doesn't take long for her and Santana to find her. Or should she say them. Alice and Rosie are curled up on the floor, their intertwined legs still in the pond and Alice's head on Rosie's chest. Santana smiles and carefully takes the camera off of Alice's neck, snapping pictures of the girls.
"How did Rosie get in here?" Mercedes asks
"Knowing these two using a security hack and a piece of rope." The others look at her, confused "Kidding."
"Wake up guys" Brittany says softly, shaking them awake
"My back hurts" The girls say in unison causing the adults around them to chuckle
"Because you're on concrete." Santana deadpans causing both girls to snap their eyes open
"Babe I think we fell asleep" Rosie tells Alice
"Y'think" Alice rolls her eyes, pulling herself and Rosie off the ground
"Did you break in?" Quinn asks Rosie, her and Rachel are too familiar with her ways.
"Not this time" Rosie smirks, surprisingly alert considering she only just woke up and Alice is practically asleep again on her shoulder
"Alice" Rachel claps her hands in front of the teenagers face causing her to jump back in shock
"Don't do that Rachel." Alice says seriously
"I'm sorry-"
"Just don't." Santana tells her, walking over to the teenagers "Wow Rosie, I guess you just couldn't stay away"
"Something like that." Rosie smiles before looking Santana up and down and smirking "What the hell are you wearing?"
"My 'training outfit'" She rolls her eyes, running her hand down the arm of the skin tight fabric
"Speaking of training Santana you're late." Quinn tells her
"I'm going" Santana kisses Brittany before jumping down the hole and heading down the stairs
…
Santana walks into training and feels everyone staring at her. She shouldn't have been late, it attracts too much attention. She looks into their eyes, some filled with pity, others with anger, anger that she was the one to captivate the audience. She looks over at Kitty and sees that the blonde is staring at the floor. Of course, now she feels guilty. Santana rolls her eyes at all of them and heads for the empty archery station, firing arrow after arrow until the instructor gestures to look behind her. She does and sees that people are still staring. This time with shock and jealousy. She glares at them and they finally look away. Except one; Kitty. Oh so now she's paying attention. Santana puts the bow down and heads towards the edible plants. Kitty tries to get up and leave when she sits down but Santana pulls her back
"Puck's heartbroken you know?" She tells her, Kitty looks down, finally having the decency to feel ashamed "Why did you do it?"
"Because you're one of his best friends and I couldn't make him choose between us. I know I did it the wrong way but I wasn't thinking."
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
"Because I know Puck, if I told him I was in the games he'd feel conflicted."
"He still is conflicted!" Santana spits angrily
"Look I'm sorry okay. Can you give him this?" Kitty tries to hand Santana a letter
"Give it to him yourself" Santana, glares at her, shoving the letter back in her face
"Please." Kitty says weakly "I can't see him again. It'll hurt too much, for both of us." Santana rolls her eyes
"Stop crying." She says without sympathy "Mail the letter if you're so upset. Don't drag me into this." Santana gets up and walks away, well aware of the fact that every person in the room was watching the exchange but to pissed to care. She heads over to the knife section and grabs a bunch, throwing them with all her strength at the moving targets and hitting every one. She can still feel everyone's eyes on her, in awe of her performance. She ignores them and continues to throw, storming out of the room the second the buzzer signals the end of training.
…
"What did you do?" Puck asks the second she walks into the hotel room
"Nothing."
Well it can't have been nothing because you've had formal requests from over half the tributes, they all want to be allied with you." Blaine tells her
"I didn't do anything." Santana says, refusing to tell Puck what happened with Kitty
"You got requested to join the careers Santana," Tina tells her "Bruce wouldn't do that for nothing."
"Fine you got me." Santana rolls her eyes, preparing to tell a half truth "They were all watching me because of the interviews and I started throwing knives…really well…"
"Why didn't you tell us that at the beginning?" Quinn asks
"Because I'm tired and need to go to sleep." Santana walks out with Brittany at her heels. There is no way she's telling Puck what happened with Kitty.
