Caught in a Box || Elevator || Zale and Arlene.
I took in everything she said. I can’t say I’m surprised at her reaction. Sigh. Talk about putting my foot in my mouth and fucking everything up. I turned around to face her. She was on her feet and I saw her fists ready at her side. Something else I can’t say I’m shocked about. Actually I’m surprised she didn’t lunge at me right away.
"I don’t, want to get out of here that is. I mean." Sigh. Fuck me. "Trust me, I wish we could just stay here."
I sighed and ran my hands over my face, “Look, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so blunt, but it’s just the truth, and if that’s how you feel, that I’m lying to you, then I have no choice to respect that. I wish you could see that you are likable, and that there are no ulterior motives behind my words. And come on, you really think scars bother me?” I paused. I was being honest there. I know I can’t change how she perceives what I said and fighting it would be moot. THAT I know is a battle I can’t win.
"None of us can stop tomorrow, and whatever’s going to happen is going to happen. But if you want to start early," I said nodding to her fists. "then go ahead. At least I gave you the truth."
I rolled my eye at his replies. I had no idea where the hell he was trying to get with all this flattering. We were about to enter the arena and all of the sudden he decided to be honest with me!
"Why now?" I asked, speaking my mind. He had a whole week to tell me he enjoy my company but instead he decided to tell me in an elevator, hours before we enter the arena to hunt each other down. Was this some sort of scheme to try and weaken me down before the arena. That would make perfect sense. I mean, I knew he wasn't a trained career but he was from a career district. For all I know he was allying with them and this was part of their plan to take me down.
I actually hoped that wasn't the reason.
A part of me wanted his words to be genuine but no. That was a weakness and I was not weak. I did not come this whole way just to soften up to some kid that I would hunt down. I would kill him without mercy and I would enjoy it.
At least that's what I'm telling myself.
"I have every right to believe you're lying to me because yes, I know you but I also know myself." I roll my eyes at him pointing out my fist. "I'm a bitch Zale, but I'm not going to punch you just because you tried to compliment me." It would take a bit more than just that. I had a bad temper but not that bad.

I couldn’t help but smirk slightly when I herd her laugh behind me. It doesn’t take a genius to put one-and-one together here. She’s probably the only girl I’ve ever had an interest in and have been able to talk to, ya figure with me being on deaths door I would be less spastic with girls. Old habits die hard, no pun intended.
I sat down across from her with a embarrassed smile and shrugged, “I’m glad you think so.” I paused, “And I only meant that in a…flattering way. I mean,” I sighed and leaned my head back against the elevator wall. Man I suck at this. This is the last time she and I’ll see each other and be able to *enjoy* each others company, might as well be honest. What’s the worst that can happen, I won’t see her again? She’ll try and kill me?
"I just, think you’re a really cool chick and I like being around you. Ya know, I like you for who you are; I dig your personality, despite this shit-show we’re in I’ve enjoyed spending time with you…also you have a really cute smile and I like seeing you laugh." I paused to gauge her reaction, "That’s the truth whether you want to believe it or not. No hidden intentions, just..that’s me being honest."
I was half holding my breath that she wouldn’t flip a fucking shit on me for saying that or start questioning everything. I let that hang in the air for a minute and then stood to try the emergency button again. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to put you on the spot or make you feel awkward or pressured or whatever. You’ve asked me why I like being around you and that’s why. It’s not going to stop whatever’s going to happen tomorrow, but I figure I at least owe ya that”
An amused smile decorates my face as he sits in front of me awkward. For a split moment that's how we sit; just starring at it each other and I actually don't mind. It's peaceful.
And then everything goes downhill.
The smile on my face fades as he speaks. No one has ever said anything like that to me. I can't help but frown as he says he likes me for--well, me. I am a monster. Someone that takes joy in other pain.
I am not someone that people can like. It's just not--right. I know I should feel flatter by his words, maybe even moved and maybe a part of me does. But how can I reply to something that is most likely a lie but yet sounds so--great.
Clenching my teeth I watched him get up and push the emergency button once more. After a moment I raise to my feet and ball my hands into a fist.
"You know for someone that says they enjoy my company you sure do you want to get out of here." I comment dryly at him continuing to press the emergency button.
How can I believe that the only reason he has been by my side so much is because he likes my attitude. Honestly, right now I would have prefer him to tell me he was with me for more powers or because he wanted to get close to me so he could take me down. That would have been easier to react to. But how do I respond to a lie that I actually like?
"You realize how ridiculous your words sound, right?" I finally say, speaking my mind. "I am not the type of person someone likes, Zales. Half of my face is burnt and I have a blind eye; I'm not exactly beauty queen. No you didn't make me feel uncomfortable or pressure or even special because I know that in a few hours these words will mean nothing. Even if they're true."

"Pft, fuck ‘em. I’ve told ya before you’d fit in perfectly with the crew back home and I can assure you the same brutes would take ya with open arms in the next life. I got your back there." I said.
Yup, overstepped my bounds. My head thumped to the floor, the jacket cushioning it as I sat back up and gave the back of my head a rub. “Sorry.” I said genuinely, “I was just goofing around, didn’t mean to push ya.” As for her next question, “I, uh…” I shrugged, “wouldn’t mind it- not in that way, but-” my face began to grow warm and laughed nervously. I stood up and pressed the emergency button again, hoping it would cover how awkward I felt. No answer. Typical.
I sighed as I turned to face her, “If you wanted to, I wouldn’t mind.” I said bluntly.
I couldn't help but smile a little at the thought of belonging somewhere. Maybe dying and moving on wouldn't be so bad but I was a selfish creature. I only cared about myself. Could I really drop everything I ever believed in just to fit in somewhere for the first time in my life?
The smile on my face spread when I saw him begin to grow red right before my eyes. The laugh escape my lips before I could even try to stop it. Covering my mouth I watched him attempt to get out of this elevator but his next blunt answer almost threw me off. I didn't know how to take it.
Scratching my neck I raised one eyebrow. "You wouldn't mind me being on your lap?" I nodded slowly. "That's nice to know Zale but--right now it's not on my bucket list." being close to him threw me off but I was not going to admit that to him. I guess having someone calm me down was something new to me; a weakness. "Though seeing you blush is sight for sore eyes." I tease him with a wink.

It didn’t surprise me she shot down my “offer,” if you can even call it one. “Well, the offer’s there. Besides, everyone on the other side probably know all the stories already. Could use a fresh pair of ears.” I paused and began rocking back and forth, “Ya know Noose and the guys aren’t only telling all those stories, they’re writing them down too, preserving them if you will. A lot of ‘em were lost to the ages, be nice for everyone to be able to know ‘em, though hearing ‘em is better than reading ‘em in my opinion.” Man, if I get back home Noose and I are going to have a loooong talk about everything.
Her hands in my hair felt nice, despite the fact it wasn’t genuine. I mean, she didn’t have to do that. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part. Probably is, then again I kind of want to have fun with this.
Retaining a light smile I sat up and scooched myself closer, tossing my jacket over her legs and resting my head on them, “Well then you won’t mind if I make myself comfortable then, would you?” I knew I was pushing my limit, hopefully she didn’t smash my nose in getting this close to her.
Puckering up my lips I make a face. I didn't have the energy to fight about him after the existence of the afterlife. Plus no one was 100 percent sure if it exited. "Well considering almost everyone in the afterlife will most likely hate my guts, I think I'll take you up on the offer if the afterlife does exist."
At his mentioned of Noose and his stories I shift. Him bringing up the reading just reminded me how useless I was at it. I guess if I could read I wouldn't be so ignorant about all this mythology stuff. I mean the only reason I knew about Apollo was because I manage to get it out of Zale in our first meeting. "I have to agree with you on that one; listening is a whole lot better than reading them." Not that I had ever read a story.
I arched my eyebrows even more as he scoots closer to me and places his head on my lap. For a split moment I freeze and pray to the heavenly Gods that no one would open the door in this moment or else everyone would get the wrong idea. I had always hated people being this close to me so out of reflexes I shove his head off my legs harshly. It's not that I didn't want this touch, I just wasn't use to it.
"I mind you invading my personal space!" I said, crossing my arms. "How would you like it if I sat on your lap?"

I smirked slightly when she asked if I wanted her to do more. I could say something, but bit my tongue. In all honestly, if we could go back to the cafeteria, I’d be happy, the genuine fun and seeing her smile like that. Sure the physical contact was nice, but I knew that was short lived. I kind of wish that lunch lady didn’t walk in. Maybe I would have had the balls to make a move.
"I just meant ya know…after this. If, we don’t make it out, ya know? Not that I’m doubting ya there, Cap. I’ll even buy the first round." I was expecting her to shoot back at me some long winded comment about how there’s nothing after death. I think my smile grew more watching her hold back one herself. By now, she should know that I know her better than that, which is a strange thing to think about. I knew what to do and say to make her smile.
"Oohh, but I’m such a simple creature that just wants to be loved! And who can resist this cute face?" I said with a boyish grin as I began butting my head into her playfully.
Instead of getting a reply from him all I got back was a smirk. I didn't know how to interpret it. Biting my lip I looked away because for some reason I suddenly realize just how closer we were in this small elevator. Now I was beginning to wonder why those people were taking so long. A part of me wanted to leave at this moment but the other part of me, the part I didn't want to admit, wanted to stay here.
I almost let out sigh when he quickly changed the topic to death. A topic I didn't mind actually. Unlike him, death was nothing to me. I would welcome it with open arms because I wasn't scare of it. I had been near death so many times I think I became friends with it. Some people may consider this a weakness since I don't have anything to fight for but the way I saw it was that I didn't have anything to lose so that made me dangerous. All I cared about was going out my own way.
"I don't believe in the after life. For that matter, I only believe in what I can do for myself." I simply stated with a shrug. It just wasn't something that interest me. It seemed we also believe in different things. The only reason I believe in Gods because I had one looming over me for the past few days but I just wasn't a natural believer. That took a lot of faith, something I didn't have unless it was on me.
I snorted when he made his next comment. I starred down at his boyish grin that was so close to me. He was so close I didn't even have to move to touch his head. It seemed we were just drifting closer to each other as the seconds passed. Without even thinking and acting on impulse like I always did I tangled my fingers in his hair and leaned down.
"Sorry to break it to you Pirate, but you face doesn't have any affect on me. But nice try though." I whisper with a chuckle but as I said those words I let go of his hair and straighten up, slightly moving away from him because his touch did affect me. It calmed me down but I doubt that was the affect he was referring to.

"If you wanna go on what I consider to be a monster…" I scoffed, "These assholes destroying my life brought my father and I together. So there’s that." Maybe this was how we were fated to be reunited, despite the fact he said he had planned to come forward. “As for what everyone else considers a monster, I’ve done some good in my life, and I can give ya a list of guys who’ve done the same thing.”
I was a bit disappointed that she didn’t trace out my tattoo, maybe my blatant blushing last time clued her in not to. “And I can say the same about you. Surprised all I’ve gotten out of you is a kick in the gut and a tackle.” I grinned. I’d take that tackle and pin again right now, maybe if I egg her on it’ll happen. I dismissed the idea when I saw how eagerly she listened to my story, it was…cute. “Well, I think it’s real.” I said matter-of-factly, playfully tossing my jacket at her legs.
I raised an eyebrow when she answered my next question. My meaning went right over her head. I meant after the Arena, ya know. After life, per say. Maybe it was a way to reassure myself that I’d be okay regardless of what happened. I smiled at her, seeing the discomfort in her face, “Well how about this, you come find me by the water and I’ll chew your ear off with every story I know ‘til you finally do sock me on in the face.” And then I felt the same thing I felt with Gaby that night she got upset when we were talking. I wanted to make her feel better, cheer her up, but I knew it wouldn’t work with her. Hmm.
Well, I knew one thing that made her smile…hopefully I rolled onto my back and playfully tugged at her arm, “Or you can take care of meeee!!! Take me in like a long lost puppy!” I grinned at her.
I slightly frowned at his comment. I didn't know what it was suppose to mean and I almost wished I could tell him it wasn't the Capitol that brought him and his father together. But one, he was most likely right and two, I couldn't give him an honest answer since in my prophecy I didn't see anything about the Capitol bringing them together. Whatever the reason was he better be thankful he met his father and got along with him. Unlike me that wanted to rip Apollo face off.
Biting my lip I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say. But his next comment made me smirk. Raising one eyebrow I tilted my head to the side. "So you're saying you want me to do more than just that?" Was he challenging me? Because if so I would not mind showing him I could do more than just pin him down. "You're consider a Pirate, of course you would believe in it." I replied back, tossing his jacket back at him playfully.
Then just like that my frown returned. I had no idea what he was talking about. Scratching my arm I looked around. "Wait, what are we talking about?" As far as I was concerned only one of us was getting out of here but I had to admit, what he proposed wouldn't be such a bad idea. I wouldn't mind listening to his story beside the ocean but of course that would never happen. Rolling my eyes I suppress a smile as he began to tug at my arm, "I'm sorry love, but I don't take in stray dogs." I replied with an exaggerated shrug.
