Rosalie seeing Treech like this physically hurt her. She couldn't bear to see him like this.
"Sweetie, I wish I could bring you back to 7, we all missed you when you left. My mom always wonders how you are." Treech puts his hand on hers, making Rosalies heart skip a beat.
"She was always so nice to me. When you get back, and you will get back, tell her I miss her." Treech smiled at her as they began to plan out the game strategy.
-------
"Treech, as much as I know you wanna protect her, Lamina will slow you down. If you stay by yourself with an axe, you'll have a better chance."
"Rosa-" "I know, I know. But think, she will not help you. What will she be able to do? It's better to stay by yourself. Do not get close to anyone. No alliances." Rosalies voice was stern for the first time in what seemed like ages.
"Of course, anything to come back to you. But sweetie, how will I eat? What if I starve?" Treech squeezed her hand in which Rosalie reciprocated.
"That's another thing. I need you to perform for the Capitol. There's gonna be a show, and if you can impress people so much that they bet money, I can use it to get you food." Her thumb stroked his hand gently.
-----
"So Treech, are there any girls waiting for you back home?" Rosalie asked as she stared into his eyes.
"Well, no, actually." Treech chuckled and smiled at her. "I haven't thought about any girls." Rosalie smiled a bit before Treech speaks again.
"Other than you, that is." Rosalie looks up at Treech whos already looking at her. "What?"
"Rosalie, ever since you left there hasn't been a night where I haven't thought of you. I just- I can't explain it." Rosalie stuttered on herself before she just smiled.
Before she could speak, her, Coriolanus, and Clemensia were called to go and see Dr. Gaul. Rosalie didn't even think as she kissed Treech on the lips before walking away quickly, blushing hard.
-----
"She couldn't have expected us to have written it, I spent all night crying." Clemensia said as they walked up the stairs to get to Dr. Gauls office.
"Don't worry, me and Rosalie wrote it together last night." Coriolanus responded then looked at Rosalie.
"Okay, give me the main points." Clemensia opened the door to the building as they're escorted to the laboratory.
-----
"I read your paper, the three of you sure did amazing work." Dr. Gaul says as they enter, looking at both Rosalie and Coriolanus.
"Come, I want to show you my babies." They all follow her as they walk to a tank full of rainbow snakes, a mutation the doctor had made.
"What's the point of the color?" Coriolanus asks as he gets ignored.
They walk alongside the tank, up some stairs and to the top of it. "Tell me, who wrote the paper?" Rosalie and Coriolanus looked at eachother before Clemensia spoke.
"They were in the room giving me ideas, but the paper was all me." "Clemmie." Coriolanus warns.
"So it was your sweat prints on the paper!" Dr. Gaul smiles. "Sadly, my assistants mistook it for trash and threw it into the tank." She opens the tank at the top, the essay ripped up under the snakes.
"Why don't you grab it? Don't worry, the snakes are completely docile as long as they know your scent. Whether from feeding them or if they inhaled your sweat off paper." She grabs a snake as it wraps along her red glove.
"Go on, girl." Dr. Gauls' voice turns stern as she stares at Clemensia. "Clemensia, don't." Rosalie tries to get her to back off, but Clemensia is already reaching for the paper.
Its quiet for a few seconds before Clemensia starts screaming, falling backwards on the floor. A few assistants run to provide her an antidote as Dr. Gaul speaks.
"You wanted to know the meaning of the color? I want my enemies to see a rainbow of destruction fall down upon them." She stares at Clemensia.
"Will she be okay?" Rosalie looks at Dr. Gaul with worry in her face. "The consequence of breaking ground in ones research is one she'll find out." She turns to look at them both.
"I knew it was you two who did the work. The slight change in handwriting, the spacing, the use of ink. You're ideas were magnificent. I'm trusting my team to implement as much as I can."
Rosalie and Coriolanus smile at the thought. "Now, run along. Your tributes are waiting for you at the arena."
They both left, watching Clemensia be escorted to the hospital.
It was time to tour the arena, then they would prepare for the show.
Would Treech be okay?

guess whos back 🥳
