There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

Mother came to say goodbye. I folded my arms and pretended I did not hear a word that came out of that backstabbing bitch’s mouth. She cried her tears and apologized. She plead for me to say something, she acted as if I was already dead. If anything, she was dead to me. I guess I’ll have to win this whole damn thing just so I could come back and spit on the very foundations of our family.

Family first. Yeah fucking right.

A few others came to say goodbye and wish me their best of luck. Some I entertained; others were also met with the silent treatment. There were no words to describe the utter betrayal I felt in that moment. I knew that if I showed even a sliver of weakness, they would know the decision not to protect me this year was correct. I wanted nothing more than for them to regret their choices and eat their words.

When the last of the hypocrites filed out of the justice building, I was ever so kindly escorted out towards the train. Throughout the entire time since I graced the stage, my eyes shot daggers. Oh, if only looks could kill, these games would be like stealing candy from a baby.

The train was a joke, I always assumed the tributes were treated only to most luxurious luxuries the capitol could offer. What I was met with was slightly above average at best. Only a seven out of ten on Panem reviews. Do not recommend. Along with me was my district partner, Larissa Le Roux, a last name well known in the district. Larissa herself, never heard of her. I also did not associate myself with her kind, careers, unless it was business. Careers were always good for business. Stupid rich kids looking to take an edge off, easy targets to scam and pocket the extra cash.

I pulled out a chair on the left end of the large mahogany table and sat myself down. Kicking my feet up on the table. My 7-inch stiletto boots slamming on the table for dramatic effect. I let my upper body lean backwards over the chair staring at the ceiling as I let out a less than enthusiastic sigh. Shortly after, I sat myself upright as I gave Larissa a quick scan with my eyes. My face remaining in an angry scowl as I tried to get a read on little miss volunteer Le Roux.

”Hmm” I scoffed in her direction as I folded my arms. She did not seem like anyone worth my while.

L A R I S S A L E R O U X

In the hours following the reaping, Larissa Le Roux thought of food chains, and how every species was always so desperate to be at the top of them: apex predators. The shark was king, but only in water. The hawk: king, but only in air. Snakes, bears, lions- all little deities within their realms, all so understanding of nature and its intricate laws. Humans, really, were the only ones who decided a realm of power wouldn't ever be enough- there was nothing enough for a species which believed in godhood. An idea of perfection, but through human eyes. Perfection, but in the name of humans being first in every realm. It was against nature itself.

Larissa was hovering on the thought that, maybe, that was why evil existed in the world when Xaahira started looking for attention. It was as if Larissa had summoned hell itself and it'd grown legs right in front of her, just so they could plop themselves onto the table. Oh, Larissa thought, she thinks she's the main character. All disgruntled and huffing and puffing, poor dear. Poor her.

"Hmm," the girl called.

Larissa paused to be certain she hadn't said any of that out loud when the girl made eye contact. Whoops, must've been thinking too loudly. Regardless, she didn't find the need, really, to justify it with further explanation. Larissa hadn't said anything, so there was nothing for her to refuse to repeat if she had. Besides, if baby wanted its bottle, she would have to use her words and ask. Larissa didn't play guessing games.

It was a strange thing, being so close to someone and knowing they'd have to be dead soon if it meant her own survival, which was to say by Larissa's standards: it was strange to be around someone and know for sure they'd be dead soon. But, you know: food chains.

Only room for one at the top these days.

Thankfully, the dead-eyed escort named Romeo made his way back into the holding car to tell them that their room cars were ready. A brief moment was spent upgrading their keycards, and as soon as he cleared the way, Larissa headed straight for her room to shower without so much as glancing back.

There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

There were no words to be exchanged between us. Neither of us had anything to say. It was simple, in a few weeks’ time, she would be dead, and I would be laughing my way back to district one with a point to prove.

Out in public, there was a face to maintain. A goddess amongst mankind, I was not supposed to be here. Despite the obvious situation, I had to pull myself together. I could not let anyone know that I was terrified of the days to come. I could not give anyone a reason to believe I would be an easy target. Alone in my room is where I would let it all out. The second the door closed behind me; I screamed as loud as I could. I took the pillows off of the floor and had a temper tantrum worthy of an infant suffering the terrible twos.

Whatever happened behind these closed doors, stayed behind them. My emotions, my rage, the betrayal, the urge to cry my eyes dry were no one else’s business and no one ever needed to know any of it. I was allowed to be myself without the eyes of family watchdogs judging me or Larissa already deciding which way to kill me. I wanted to stay in the bubble of my own privacy for as long as I could, but a girl needed to eat and find a drink. They had to have some booze around here, let us make the most of our trip to the glorious capitol.

The clothes they provided for us, left me feeling naked. They were of good quality but nothing fancy. I was my fur coat, my tiny dresses, my high heels and most importantly my sunglasses. Oh god, my sunglasses, I left them in district one. Walking around the train with no makeup, my natural hair and a plain outfit was by far the most cruel and unusual punishment left. At least for now, I still had my stiletto boots and matching stiletto nails, they could not take those just yet. A little reminder that I am the main bitch.

My nails played a tune of desire as they grazed upon the glass bottles containing the different kinds of alcohol. Settling for what I only assumed was a dark rum, I filled a glass and headed for the food. I could not deny, I felt a little bit more like myself once the burning sensation of booze was the only thing I could feel.
