I didn't even want to count the amount of times I heard the screaming and wailing, Celeste begging them not to take her away, Kieran yelling for her sister. Though I never heard the President.
I didn't pay attention whenever the topics were brought up, I shut down any conversation finally feeling more like myself then I have in weeks, any talk makes me want to hide in a corner back in my room. I refuse to be any part. Cato for the most part did as well.
Now I spend my time venturing while he was away, I told everyone in the meetings to shove it if any meetings were about more punishments. I meant what I said. Though they dragged Cato into it giving him not much of a choice. It's either he goes or they'll force me to come with, and forbid Cato lets anythig happen to me.
I feel horrible though he's assured me more then enough times. Now I find myself down some of the quieter halls, our guards mandating the doors of some, while others are empty, I get questioning stares but they greet me nonetheless.
I make a few more turns going deeper and deeper within th mansion until I reach a door. I open it seeing there were no guards, it lead to a path outside, a path of glorious almost crystal like bricks leading to a small dome shaped green house.
The light flashes in my eyes as I think I found my own little buidling just for myself as I glance around looking for anyone who might shoo me away or report me. But I see none. I was about to open the door when it opens itself making me jump back slightly. I blink a few times to see now two younger guards possibly around my age looking just as startled. " Soldier Musak... What are you doing?" One asks.
" I.. it was said I could be here... for personal time." I blatantly lie. The other furrows their brow, "Here? Who ordered it?" They ask obviously not believing me. I straighten coming up with the most obvious lie but one I can convinve and get out of. " Cato. He told me. Do you want me to go get him so you can question him yourself?"
By the looks on their faces that did they trick, " Right. Sorry..Go in. I assume he told you of the guests that come in at this time?" The other says. I nod quickly " I do." Then with that I quickly go in closing the door with a sigh.
I have idea what guests but I assure nothing I can't handle.
I smell the floral scents making my nose burn slightly but I keep wandering looking at the tattered flowers actively dying or simply dug up and thrown to the ground. I step slowly over all them confused as to why a place like this would be destroyed.
" Kaylaya Musak."
The voice makes me stop right in my tracks, my hands grip my sides wanting so badly to reach for a knife that I don't have feeling almost naked as my eyes narrow as I see the old man shackled sitting almost slumped and uncomfortable in the corner looking at me tired.
For the first time I've seen President Snow not prim and Proper. All my senses demanded me to run or kill him here. But I stay frozen looking him over. " President Snow." I say back with no emotion daring to inch closer... I guess these are the visitors they were talking about...
