Val made her way back to the loading docks after the loud planning meeting in the kitchen. She had been hoping to meet up with her closer friends here to reaffirm their plans.
The large alliance was good and all but...
She looked down at the paper that lay on the makeshift paper.

The room was quiet and empty besides her and although the names on the paper comforted her the people behind those names were nowhere to be found.
It was funny how quiet a room can seem even with alarms blaring in your ears.

"Val!" Holly burst through the small entrance to the loading docks, nearly falling on her face. Good job. With all the running you've been doing you'd think you'd be a little more surefooted."We need to coordinate. Some of the others from the new Accord have reached out to me, Demetri and Dante. I think they like you too and respect your honesty back in the kitchens. I think we need to blend together. We can work together and keep tabs on everyone if we split up a bit - make sure no one is taking advantage of these new changes and make sure everyone is invested in each group to prevent backstabbing, you can never be too careful even if we do trust each other. Dante has a plan, we're going to hit the markets first. Everything has been so crazy. I think you and Gwen would better serve people in the Watchtower - you're well suited for it. You can take Reese Oberron and I know you haven't talked much but I think Deo Prisco can be trusted and would be a good ally. We've spoken and he's on board with all of this, ending the games, the Capitol - everything. I hope you take him with you. I'm going to send him down here so you can talk." Holly looked around the empty room. So empty, I don't want to leave but there's too much to do. She saw the paper still lying there bearing witness to the friendships she'd made and smiled at Val, turning to the exit she whispered. "If you want to meet Deo and there's time, you can come to my room - the code is 2596." |

Demetri came in next, nearly out of breath. With his size he wasn't great at sneaking around so he had to make a run for it.
"Blue! I'm going to follow Career to the Market. We will all meet up out there soon, I promise, and we'll kick some Capitol ass threesome-style," Demetri winked. "So stay smart, stay alive, and most importantly stay sexy! See ya, suckers!"

Everyone was getting ready to escape the training center; grabbing possessions while struggling to decide where to run. Squirming through the elevator's narrow gap, Dante saw Valeria pondering their written pact. Psst, Val. It occurred to me that if you're really a tribute, declaring yourself a peacekeeper would be a great way to learn who the other peacekeepers are... "That was a.." His voice trailed off. The phrase 'Bold Move' was what he would have said if he were watching the Games back home; but this was Valeria, his friend. He decided to change the subject. "I owe you a lot, you know. You brought me into the group, beat me at the strategy simulator, and helped keep me steady after Snow's Reserve took me under..." Dante smiled at the memories. "Gwen, Holly, Minerva, Demetri and you were my group in the Tactics simulator. Reese had joined us, but was taken out in the cornucopia. I wanted to make sure you knew that no matter what happens out there, I've always wanted you on my side." With one bet paid off, Dante reached into his pocket for the second. He held out Vester Lombard's emerald-colored packet of Capitol Greens to Holly, Demetri and Valeria. "Here, I'd like you all to have one of these. Our group's private rebellion." Dante chuckled, turning back to Val. If we care about Val, why ask her to join us? We can't protect her from everyone else who will only use her for trap bait, or target practice. Do you think she's really a tribute, trying to lure Peacekeepers? "Where did that come from, Val? What will you do now?" |
