Peeta watches her sister walk from side to side.
Alexandrina Isobel Mellark was the light of her brother's eyes...
Her beautiful long blonde hair, observant and cunning blue eyes...
She was chattering nonstop about the party that was going to happen that night.He kept watching the girl ramble on about the details of the night and some gossip she heard about the guests and all the details and everything she could remember.
—I'd love to take Finnick,but he's stuck in district 4,plus we have to keep up with the Victors (snorted and sat on the couch next to him)
Peeta stared at her sister who was standing next to her.How did that go unnoticed by him?
— How so?(Peeta asked confused) Aren't you going to be my date?
She looked at Black and kissed his cheek, amused.
—I know it will be a loss, not having me as a partner.. But you will be the escort of Katniss, the winner of the twelve. Grandpa's orders. (Alexandrina said in a serious tone)
—How did I just figure it out now? (Peeta questioned angrily)
—I found out a few hours ago, when I helped Portia with the last touches on her clothes, for the first time our clothes do not match... I questioned her and she told me about the orders she and Cinna received.
—What do you think that means? (Peeta questioned her sister in a daze)
—That grandpa sees a lot of potential in Katniss, he thinks that maybe putting the two of you together can put an end to the flames... (The girl said while looking at her own nails) or do you think it's a fluke tomorrow's party, he doesn't even care about the winners... but with Katniss and Gale it's different... You know what's going on outside the Capitol.
Peeta nodded, rumors of rebellion around the capital were becoming strong, even more so after Gale Hawthorne and Katniss Everdeen were the first tribute couple to win the games, breaking a multitude of rules and likely anticipating the death of that year's Gamemaker.
His grandfather, Coriolanus Snow, was not happy at all,But he didn't think his grandfather was going that way...
Throw him and his sister to the winners?It was at least a somewhat odd move, especially knowing her sister's temperament.
—The guy is handsome,but Aunt Effie says he's a savage and idiot,the girl with some store bath will become somebody.. (She said simply and snorted softly) I think she's cool, did you see what she does with a bow and arrow?and her hair, lots of personality!
Peeta nodded lost.He had barely seen the games this year, he was too busy with his classes and learning about his future craft: He was the heir to the throne,the next president of Panem.
—Why do you think he wants us to be close to them?(He questioned the girl)
Alexandria stared at him with a sarcastic smile.
—Arrest them both, my beloved brother.. (She muttered and sat down next to him) But I think this strategy will only work with you, my image is very tied to Finnick ...
Super attached, he still remembers the scandal of Snow's granddaughter being caught having sex with Finnick Odair on a balcony of the capital's fanciest hotel.He still had nightmares about the photos.
—But you're a bachelor. and beautiful.. Do you think that if you arrest the girl in the capital, the flames will be demanded.. You know that phrase? close friends and enemies even closer.
Alexandrina kissed his head and walked out of the room.
His grandfather was beside himself.
The world was falling apart.and all he knew was:He would marry the girl from district twelve.
