Katniss and I walk into the ball room hand in hand, the party has already begun but despite the music playing and food on display all eyes are on us. As we descend the stairs leading down to the party we are the centre of attention, being blinded by the flashes from camera and feeling my ears burn as I hear people comment on us we enter the party. So far everything has been going great, we made our speeches without anyone being shoot and the Head Peacekeeper seemed happy with the way we performed. She's a lot better than the Head Peacekeeper in District Eleven, she's a young lady with pink hair and pink eyes, her skin is so smooth and pale despite the amount of sun light covering the district and the way she looked at us is a lot softer and kinder then the Head Peacekeeper back in Eleven. But the Peacekeepers or the citizens are not the people on my mind about our trip in this District, it's that Capital Official who will want to speak to us that is the main person on my mind. I already hate him and I haven't even met him yet.
But I need to remain calm, polite and not cause any trouble, I have to remind myself of that as I descend the stairs down to the party. I ignore everyone, I ignore the flashes of the cameras, I ignore the applause of the crowd and I ignore everyone in the room. All I do is just stare dead ahead and focus on the warmth I feel from Katniss's hand I am holding. I wish I can ignore them forever but I can't, Katniss and I have to listen to them as they make us pose for photos as soon as we step off of the stairs and onto the wooden ball room floor. Most of the pictures are of just Katniss and me holding hands standing side by side but then there are some others, others like Katniss and me kissing, hugging and staring deep into each other's eyes. Don't get me wrong I love Katniss and enjoy doing these things with her, it's just that I wish it was for real and not ordered by the people so they can get a better photo of us. It's just one more thing I have to ignore, I just focus on Katniss and pretend like it's our choice to do these things. If I didn't then I will most likely be restrained by Peacekeepers as I try and beat the crap out of these people, they don't own me and never will control ever me or Katniss.
At least it doesn't last long, lucky for the reporters and for me as if this continued then I would most likely do something I would regret and get everyone killed. Johanna will definitely kill me first though, she's not the type of person to let me get away with killing her. Katniss and I soon make our way over to the tables where food has been laid out for everyone, we are both striven haven not eaten since breakfast. Most of the food on the table is meat but there are some other fancy food from the Capital on offer is well. I'm in no mood for Capital stuff and just stick with the meat from the District, it's good and for me it is a lot better than the food from the Capital. It's all because of that Official that I am in this mood, just hearing about him has put me in a bad mood and I still have to meet him. I just shake my head clear of the thoughts and enjoy the meat, I can't let my bad mood be known. If someone finds out and presses some questions then everyone in the Capital will hate both me for saying what I will and Katniss for being with me, we need the Capital people to like us as that is probable the only reason we both made it out of the Hunger Game's Arena alive.
"Do you want to dance?" A pair of men ask us as they approach where Katniss and I both are eating, one of them looks familiar but the other one I recognise. He still has his long black hair, those grey eyes and his face my not be as young but he is still a looker. His strong arms are like I remember and there is no doubt that he is who I think it is, he is the man I saw speaking to my father all those years ago in the woods. The other man I feel like I met him before but this man I know I have, now I can get some answers and finally find out who he is.
"Yes" I say without thinking or hesitating, I need to speak to him and find out who he is. "I would love to dance" I take the man's arm and lead him to the dance floor, I can see in his eyes that he is surprise at how forward I am being. I don't think he expected me to agree so easily and then drag him to the dance floor, I don't think he even thought I would agree to dance with him. "So are you leading or am I?"
"I'll lead" He replies and I see in his eyes that he is surprised at how I am acting, good if I can keep him on the back foot then I think it will be easy to find out what I want to know. But right now I let him lead me in the dance and as he spins me I see Katniss dancing with the other man, I can't help but feel jealous at the sight. I can't complain though as I am doing the same thing though, in fact I may be worse for being the one who agreed first. "So are you always this forward?"
"When I want to be" I tell him as we continue to dance. "So who are you?"
"My name is Alexander Donaldson but you can call me Alex, I would ask you your name but it's clear we both know I already know it" He answers.
"Of course you do" I comment, who doesn't? "So how do you know my father?" I ask him seeing that the only way I will find out is to ask him before the dance ends, if I don't then I may never know and I really want to know. "I saw you with him in the woods years ago, you two looked like you knew each other but I never met you and you never came over to our house"
"You just as sharp as your father it seems" He tells me with a sigh, I can tell he didn't want to speak to me about that during the dance but I do. "I not his friend we are allies"
"Allies in what?" I ask, what can my father gain by allying himself with a stranger?
"I can't say" He replies looking from side to side. "Too many ears" I get it, it's a dangerous secret that could get him killed if discovered. I still want to know thought. "Ask your father when he's in the woods but don't mention it in your house, on the train or in the District" I guess this is the best I can get, I feel disappointed that this mystery man is a let-down. "You never know who's listening"
"Ok" I sigh as the dance ends.
"Don't be down" He says as he takes and kiss's my hand. "I would tell you if I could" I believe, I guess its knowing the Capital too well that makes him believable. "It was a nice dance"
"Yes it was" I reply giving him a quick smile.
After that we go our separate ways, he goes back to that familiar man's side and I go back to Katniss's side. I still feel jealous that Katniss was dancing with that man and envious that he got to, from the looks of it Katniss feels the same way about the man I was dancing with. She's giving Alex the same look I am giving his friend who danced with Katniss, I guess we are more similar then I thought. Both of us watch the men go, they don't stay at the party and just walk up the stairs and out of the ball room. Did they only turn up to dance with us? No they didn't, I think they turned up to talk to us instead. Dancing was just the best way to do that with no one interrupting us, so what did they want to talk about? I clearly stopping Alex from saying it with my questioning so maybe Katniss knows, she was dancing with the other man. Who is he by the way? He looks so familiar, I know I have seen him before but I can't think of where I have. Hopefully it will come to me later or Katniss can tell me, all I know is that he is from the Capital by the way he looked.
"Did your dance partner feel familiar to you?" I ask her, I hope I don't sound too jealous and envious of him. "I feel like I have seen him before"
"You have, he was a Gamemaker" Katniss tells me and it hits me like a ton of bricks, he was I can remember meeting his eyes during training for the Games. "Now he's the Head Gamemaker"
"I thought I seen him before" I say before I lean in so my mouth is only meters away from her ear, I feel her shiver as my breath hits her ears but that is not what I want to do. I whisper so quietly that even if someone is eavesdropping that won't hear me, if what Alex said is true then I have to be careful when I quietly say this. "I can't tell you who my dance partner is right now, when we get to District Seven I will tell you then"
"Ok" Katniss replies I guess it must be something in my voice convince that makes her believe me this easily, I guess me whispering something like this in her ear isn't something that happens every day. "But I want to know" I was right Katniss is like me, Jealous that someone was dancing with her girlfriend. "Anyway do…"
"Miss Everdeen, Miss Littleton" A deep voice says that's so creepy it sends a chill down my spine, who ever said it can't be a good person. We both turn around and come face to face with a small fat man with juices from the meat dripping down from his mouth onto his fancy suit. He is bold, has black evil looking eyes, chubby cheeks and a menacing grin on his lips. He must be the Capital Official, I already hated him but now that I see him I hate him even more. His eyes are roaming over us like we are one of the pieces of meat on offer at the food table, to him I guess that's all we are and if eyes doesn't leave Katniss's chest soon I'll rip them out of his skull and make him eat them despite the bad stuff that will happen afterwards. "It's so nice to finally meet the two of you, ever since I watched your games I have been dying to make you acquaintances" I wish he was dying, that way I wouldn't be in trouble for doing it myself. At least now his eyes are off of Katniss's chest and meeting our eyes. "I was one of your sponsors in the Hunger Games last year"
"We are thankful for what you did for us" I say even though I don't mean it and what to kill him for thinking the Games are a great thing. "I'm sure it helped our victory"
"I'm sure it did" He says taking a strand of my hair and running his fingers along it, it takes all of my will power to not slap his hand away.
"So what's your name?" I ask hoping that he will stop touching my hair when he answers.
"That's not important" His answer doesn't matter as he lets go of my hair at least. "It's a shame Snow won't let anyone bid on you two"
"I'm sure it is" I say, if it isn't for the threat of death that hangs over everyone I love I would punch him for saying that.
"Bid for what?" Katniss asks, I didn't think she would know that but that innocents about her is something I love.
"I'll tell you later" I say to her before that man can, he wouldn't do it right.
"It's probable a good thing" The man continues as he looks us over again like we are pieces of meat. "The price would bankrupt me and most other bidders"
"Probably" I hate to hear him speaking like that, I would kill any man or women that touches Katniss that way.
"Well as much as I would like to stay and talk to you two I have other business to attend" Two Peacekeepers turn up as he says that, they are not like the regular Peacekeepers. They are wearing black armour and the guns they are carrying look more powerful and deadly then the ones most other Peacekeepers carry, their faces are covered by masked and strong looking helmets protect their heads. "I have to return to the Capital so until the party there this is goodbye"
"Goodbye" I reply politely although already hating and dreading that I will have to meet this man who thinks we are meat again once we reach the Capital.
"Bye" Katniss also replies politely.
"So are you going to tell me about what he meant or will that come later too?" Katniss asks me as he walks off, she's mad at me. Mad at me for dancing with that man, mad at me for not telling her who he was and mad at me for not telling her what she wanted to know just know.
"He meant it's a shame no one can bid to sleep with us or watch us fuck each other" I tell her, if I didn't say it then we while have a fight about it. In an instant her face turns red and she looks like she wishes she never asked. "And I can't answer the other thing right now" I tell her leaning in close to whisper again. "Too many ears"
