The baby...
She took my baby?!
I could hear Cato though it sounded echoey, I could see but there was like a film? I needed to know, I needed to get to the bottom of whatever Snow just told me. Was it true? Or was this a last ditch attempt to reign in some kind of power? To save himself? To save Kieran and Celeste?
I don't know.
Though how he described Coin.. From the experience, from the last year and a half.. It all fits perfectly. And yet he could figure her out on a few short months then we ever did...
The Hovercraft with the Capitol Emblem. Perfect. The timing. Second to none. The.... I almost knock myself off my own feet, I feel Cato behind me pulling my hips into himself quickly turning me around. " Kay? What the hell did he say to you in there.. Kaylaya?" His voice is panicked at my obvious distress.
I manage to look up at him, " I think Coin did it..." I merely pant as the thumping in my chest increases, I feel the realization unraveling. " I think she bombed us. I think she killed the baby..."
I see Cato's eyes widen though it's barely registering in my head as I'm looking at him yet can't fully see. I feel warmness on both sides of my face, he was holding my face in his hands " What. Did. He.Say." He demands chillingly though there was the ususal calmness for me in his tone.
" I don't think the Capitol killed her Cato.. I think Coin did." I repeat. " I need... I need to talk to them... I need to know... I need to talk to Enobaria...Evie.. Octavia... All of them. I need to know Cato.. I need to.."
I know I was hyperventilating at this point, my emotions all in a blur once again as he holds me in a firmer grip, " We'll get this figured out ok? I just need you to pull yourself together. I need you to do that for me if Snow is telling the truth OK?"
I nod trying to take deep breaths, I'm a damn victor... I've been through hell and back these last four years. I can do this...
I close my eyes clearing my thoughts, deep breaths, I think of home, I think of Maisy. I think of Aspen... How he used to ground me, the old times, and eventually I still. I have Cato here wrapped around me, now realizing he'd gently talking me through it.
" All good?" He whispers back. I nod, " All good."
He pulls back looking me over, " Good. Now Snow just might be trying to get in your head ok? You know him, we know how he is right?"
" I know... I know. But he was describing Coin and it made perfect sense. Gale, Beetee and Vad... I remember them talking about the bombs and traps... I haven't seen them to much. They're still close with Coin and the combat right?"
Cato seems to tense as he nods. " They are..."
" They had a plan very similar... They had access to the hovercrafts and what batter way for the Capitol to rebel against their own if they see or think they saw Snow's last attempt?"
