Jade hadn’t slept and it read all over her face as she slumped out of bed and took in her reflection. She’d expected to experience horrors while in The Capitol but nothing could compare to what had happened the evening before. She didn’t remember falling asleep but didn’t remember waking either, like her night was some limbo she didn’t live.
In the lounge of the floor that they all occupied the usual suspects were going about their business, Duke peacocking and eating, Misty doodling on a pad that she appeared to pull out of nowhere and Godiva sitting on the couch, her lips pursed tightly in thought as she flicked through a Capitol newspaper.
Jade’s eyes scanned the room for the Avox that had appeared the night before, the one that she recognised, someone that she couldn’t mistake even now years later. Godiva broke her anxiety with her shrill voice.
“Well you’re certainly turning heads in The Capitol.” She explained, folding the newspaper and placing it onto the seat next to her, she wasn’t happy though, and Jade could sense it from a mile off. “However, I won’t stand for behaviour like last night. I don’t know what gotten into you but it doesn’t leave this room, you hear me?”
Before Jade could answer the Mentor was up on her feet with her purse clutched in between her perfectly manicured fingers. Godiva closed the gap between them with surprising agility and took Jade’s face in one hand. “Put some makeup on before you train, can’t have the other Tributes knowing you didn’t sleep.”
In a flurry of pink and purple, Godiva left the suite and beckoned the team with her. Little did Jade realise that her District Partner was stirring too.
