"Thank you for coming out today, and thank you to Snow for setting up this gala up tonight!" Enne cheered, putting on her best fake smile,
"Have a great night and may the force be with you"
"That wasn't the line" her stage manager whispered to her as Enne left the stage.
"Whatever" she took a large swig of her drink, "Everyone's too drunk to care anyways"
The room was filled with day drunk politicians and Enne had enough of it. The faking smiles, the pointless small talk, the demeaning comments. It was all getting to her. Now with the added stress of being on a hit list, it was just too much.
Nia had filled her in with everything that went down the previous night, and although she thought it was extremely dangerous, she was glad that Nia, Finnick and Haymitch had a plan. Or a vague idea of a plan? It's better than nothing I guess. She scanned the room one last time, ok great everyone is drunk enough for me to leave. Enne rolled her eyes at the capitol citizens laughing obnoxiously as she made her way to the exit.
"Oh my bad" she muttered as she bumped into someone, "Peter?"
A sense of unease washed over her as she remembered what Nia told her the night prior. It was soon replaced by concern and confusion as she took in the boys state.
"We haven't seen you in days and you look like- shit. He looks like shit. "Like you haven't slept in a while..."
"Yea I'm.." Peter scratched his head and frowned slightly, "I'm... Have you seen Nia anywhere I need to talk to her"
Enne furrowed her eyebrows, "Uh no, haven't seen her... you might not want to see her actually. I don't think that'll end well for you"
"Huh?"
Enne bit the inside of her cheeks, contemplating if she wanted to do this now. I mean better me than Nia, I think she would just shoot him without even hearing him out. And well- look at him, something is obviously going on.
"Peter... I think we all need to have a talk" she sighed heading home.
Peter nodded as if already knowing what she wanted to talk about, "Yea I think that's best"

"Pete! Haven't seen you in days man" Edmund called from his spot on the table. He was reading a book while Susan typed away at her laptop.
"Enne did you find him on the side of the street or something? Why do you look like that?"
"Prolly has something to do with Laurie" Susan muttered under her breath without looking up from her laptop.
"Where's Nia and Lucy?" Peter asked waving Ed's questions off
"Lucy is at school and Nia is with Finnick I think?"
"She did not look happy last time she came back from hanging out with him" Ed commented, "I think they're better off as friends"
"Ed stop trying to be a relationship expert you've been single for years"
"Hey!"
"Guys!" Enne interrupted, before she could say anything they heard the sound of the front door unlocking.
"Heyyy" Nia walked in, her grin instantly falling after seeing Peter. "You motherfu-
"Oh dear" Enne sighed
Nia grabbed his shirt collar and started dragging him to another room.
Susan and Ed looked to Enne who sighed again, "Let me catch you up"
~
Nia pushed him against the wall with a dagger to his throat, "You were gunna let them kill us??"
"No I-
"Oh right my bad your girlfriend wanted us dead so you just went along with it??" She shoved him harder, "I know all about your little plan to destroy the districts, to have us killed, I know all of it" She spat, stepping back.
"It's not like that, I- I didn't do anything-" Peter tried to explain
"Exactly- Nia moved forward again emphasizing each word with a jab of her finger to his chest. "You. Didn't. Do. Anything."
Peter felt a tear leave his eye, Nia didn't stop.
"You just sat by and didn't say a word when the council wanted to destroy Enne's district?! My district?! These are real people Peter. And if that wasn't enough you let your girl put a hit out on us?? What the fuck man?"
"I didn't-
"Yea yea you didn't do anything," Nia moved away from him completely, turning around to wipe her eyes that were watering.
Peter reached for her, "Nia- I'll make it right- I-
"I don't wanna hear it." The girl turned around and swatted his hand away, her expression cold.
"We're leaving. You better hope I don't see you again."
