The hob was filled with laughter and music, the warm light of the building creating a welcoming aura. Everyone was dancing, completely carefree as they listened to Maude Ivory's solo.

Ana smiled at Lucy Gray, listening to her hum along to the song. She looked so beautiful, as if she was the human embodiment of a sonnet written by Sappho herself.

Her skin was soft, and tan, her eyes big and full of wonder. Her hair long and lustrous. Her voice, addictive and smooth like honey.

Ana thought that Lucy should be considered a drug. For such beauty and perfection shouldn't exist yet here it was, directly beside, if not, almost on top of her.

A surge of affection and confidence overtook Ana's mind as she gracefully wrapped her arms around Lucy Gray's waist.

Understanding what Ana wanted, she sat onto her lap, letting her arms keep her in place. She sighed a heavenly sigh as the girl whispered in her ear, shivering as her breath hit the back of her neck.

"You look so beautiful, darling."  Ana whispered.  "I've never met anyone as captivating as yourself".  She let her lips lightly graze at Lucy's ear.

Lucy sighed, suddenly filled with need. "Thank you, baby~ you're not too bad yourself", she remarked, letting her southern drawl let loose.

Both girls were filled with liquid courage, suddenly not seeing anyone in the room but each other. Hungry lips connected to one another, leaving no room for the imagination.

Just before things could get to hot and heavy, Lucy reluctantly released from the kiss. "I think we should go home," she whispered, her voice breathless. She bit her lip with anticipation, a small smirk forming on her face.

Just before Ana could respond, an arrogant voice cut through.

"Well well well, if it isn't District 12's very own songbird! Oh and her little play thing!" A drunk Billy Taupe slurred.

With an aggravated grunt, Lucy rolled her eyes. 'It's only hot when Ana calls me that', she thought to herself. She tried to ignore him.

Her breath hitched as she found him to be inches away from her.

"It's rude to ignore someone who's talking to you, y'know", he teased.

Ana glared at him. Carefully, she got Lucy off her lap before she put a protective arm in front of her.

"Whatever problem you have with her, you also have with me. She doesn't want to talk to you, buddy so I think it would be in your best interest to leave her the fuck alone." Her voice was laced with pure, red anger, and it sent shivers down everyone's spine.

"Now i wasn't talking to you, bitch! Lucy over here deserves a good time and only a man can give that to her", he slurred.

Ana growled, walking towards him as he took a few steps back. "You better watch your fucking mouth. No one talks about her like that you filthy piece of shit."

Billy tusked at her. "Don't blame me! It's not my fault she acts like a slut. Maybe if Lucy wasn't such a whore she wouldn't have been reaped-", his last words were cut off by Ana's fist.

Bystanders now had to intervene as Ana continued to lay him out, throwing punch after punch. Bruises began to form as he spat out a bloodied tooth.

Two men held her back as a scared Lucy stood by her side. "That's enough from you two."
