Hey people! Jakaynne wrote this chapter! :D


Leilani's POV

ARG!

That was me yelling. I can't believe this! Martin and Candice decided that I should not worry and let them figure out what to do. And I have to listen to them since technically I'm in their care if something happens to Chris and Aviva. I want to help but they left me babysitting. I'm sixteen years old! I should be able to help. Plus I kick butt better then demigods. And them. Combined. Besides, they're my parents, I should be out looking for them too, not stuck here with Jimmy watching me (even though he's sleeping) while I watch my little sister and cousin…even if they are totally adorable. Also I already know what happened; they were—

"Wah!"

I squeak in surprise and snap out of my thoughts. Hayden balls his tiny fists up and pounds his legs. Thick tears ran down his chubby cheeks. Oh man, now what's wrong? I sit Adeline down and pick him up. Man he's getting really heavy.

"What's the matter Hayden? I already fed you and burped you. Are you sleepy?"

I start to rock him in my arms and sing him a lullaby.

"Hush little Hayden don't you cry. Just go to sleep in these arms of mine. Please stop because I'm running out of lines that…um rhyme?"

"Wah!" Hayden cries harder.

"Hey, I'm a good singer. Don't blame me, blame the lyrics." I tell him ignoring the fact that I made them up.

"Wah!"

"Why are you crying? You want to play?" I hold him over my head and start moving him back in forth like I've seen Martin do.

"Here's Hayden…the human rocket ship." I announce. Hayden screams even harder. I have no idea why—holy crap! That's why he was crying! I lay Hayden on his back and slowly open his diaper.

"Oh God, Hayden! How could you do all of this? This is gross."

Hayden starts to giggle. I stand up and run to get a diaper and the wipes.

"Okay Hayden, I'll do this real qu—" I skid to a stop, my eyes widening in horror.

"No! Stop moving! You're getting it all over you!"

Great.

"Ok you little rascal." I say grabbing him. He screams and squirms to get away. I lay him on his back and move the dirty diaper out the way while keeping one hand holding him down to stop him from moving. With my free hand I grab a wipe and start to clean his bottom. Thankfully he calms down. I finish cleaning him and I grab a new diaper. Out of nowhere Hayden starts to get a giggle fit.

"Why are you laughing?" I ask bewildered and pause putting the diaper on him. All of a sudden he starts to pee…right on my face.

"Ahh! Oh Ew! Ew!" I yell while rapidly wiping my face with my sleeve. Realizing I was wearing my favorite jacket, I quickly grab a baby wipe and scrub at my face. Throwing it down, I hurry and put a diaper on him before he could do anymore damage. I groan and look at Adeline to see if she found all of this entertaining. My eyes widen.

"No Adeline! You don't put markers in your mouth…even if they are the non-toxic kind."

I take the markers from her and she instantly starts wailing. I pick her up and try to comfort her.

"Ow." I wince as she starts to pull my hair. I decide to ignore her since it stops her crying.

"What is that smell?" I think out loud and spun around. Hayden was standing there smiling innocently.

"Please tell me the reason why you're smiling is because you think your cousin pulling my hair is funny."

I grab him and he immediately struggles against me. I lower my head, as best as I could, to his backside and sniff. Crap.

By the time Martin and Candice got back it was around 8 pm and I was exhausted. These kids are hard work and don't even get me started about bath time. I wasn't the only one tired. As soon as I put them to bed they instantly fall asleep.

"Thanks for watching the kids. Go and get some rest now." That's all they say to me. They won't tell me anything.

"In the morning," they say. Well, I want answers now, and I know exactly where to find them.

After getting everything I need and leaving a note in case something goes wrong, I sneak out. If you can't get fairness, rebel against the Capitol, aka Martin and Candice I catch a subway and ride it all the way to where to my destination. I'm glad to get off because a man keeps staring at me. Maybe he just recognizes me from the magazines or something.

Anyway as I approach the tall black skyscraper, doubt begin to seep in. How was I even going to get in? It's not like I can just walk right through the doors or anything? Well, technically, I could, but I'm not that dumb.

Just then a Zachbot comes out and looked as if to be taking out some trash. That will do. I sneak behind it and into the building. I immediately press myself against the wall as the Zachbot comes in. Please don't turn around. Please don't turn around. I let out a sigh when it the elevator door closes with the Zachbot in it. I look around at my surroundings. Ew. Seriously, why does he have to have all these pictures of him? And a full size rug of his face…really? I made sure I wipe my feet extra right on it. Serves him right, that scumbag.

I start walking toward the elevator and ponder if I should just take the stairs…it would be quieter. But this building has like 100+ floors. I swear, it's bigger then the Illéan palace! Zach is probably on the top level and there's no way I can climb all those stairs. Well, I could, but I'm way too lazy to do that. Out of the question.

Maybe like 10 floors but 100+, no way. I push the button…ugh, the button is even his face. I do the most reasonable thing. I punch it. I smile and hope I didn't break it…even though I really would want to break his face. The ride was boring…just stupid elevator music talking about all I do is win. How much more conceited can this guy get?

When I finally reach the top floor I take a deep breath to ready myself. Oh I am so ready. I step off the elevator. It's dark but I could make out the V shaped chair. As I inch forward, all of the sudden the chair spins around and my archenemy are revealed.

"Nice to see you Leilani," he greets in that awfully high pitch voice. Instantly forgetting my plan, I run at him and tackled him to the ground.

"Where are my parents?" I growled. He smirks and I have a sudden urge to slap it off his face…well no, I've always had an urge to do that.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

I slap him, pulling an America Singer.a

"Tell me you stupid parent-kidnapping jealous idiot. You're just mad because you don't get what you're want, you whiny baby!" I scream at him. His eyes harden.

"Yes. I never get what I want. So now you'll never get what you want."

"What are you talking about?" I yell grabbing his collar.

"You're never seeing Chris and Aviva again. They are in a place where nobody can ever find them."

I gasp and let him go. I see it in his eyes…he's telling the cold truth. Oh, screw him. Fire rage through my blood and my arm reels back. But before I could do what I so really wanted to do, a Zachbot grab me.

"Hey, let me go so I can punch the living daylights out of him!" I scream, kicking and squirming trying to get free. But I couldn't.

Zach stood up and brushes his clothes off and then looked at me.

"Your sister is next."

The fire in my blood is replaced with cold…frigid coldness that makes me want to ball up. He is so dea.

"N-no," I choke, "You'll never get her. Martin and Candice would never let that happened."

"Oh, but what can they do when they get captured trying to save you."

My fault. This is my entire fault. I am the dumbest teenager ever.

"No! You can't!" I scream.

"Oh, I can and I will. Take her to a cell while I get some sleep before tomorrow. Everything is going according to the plan."

The Zachbot starts to hover, with me still trying to get away from it, toward the elevator.

"No! Stop! Let me go! Zach! Please, don't do this! No! No!" I scream as the Zachbot drags me into the elevator. I see Zach's triumphant smile before the elevator door closes and I'm dragged to my cell.
