Chapter 13:
-Katniss-
Minutes passed and I spent it talking to Sapphire, trying to help her. She told me her mom looked like her, Blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She said that she was wearing a white sundress. We’ve spotted lots of blondes but not one with a white dress on.
I was humming a song I’ve recently heard when a woman came marching to us with an angry look on her face.
“Sapphire! There you are darling” the woman says in a faint British accent.
“You” she turns to me.
“You took my daughter didn’t you?” she says.
“What? No! I found her. She was lost” I snap.
Seriously? Sapphire was lucky that I found her. Who knows what might’ve happened if someone else did.
“I saw you dragging her behind you and she had tears in her eyes! Care to explain dear?” she made sure to sugar coat the last word.
I shuddered.
“Look lady, Sapphire bumped into me, making me drop my phone into the water. She apologized and I told her it was fine and she spilled out that she was lost, so I was helping her find you” I say the last part through gritted teeth.
The mother looked like she didn’t believe it.
“How the hell am I supposed to know you’re not lying?” she says.
“Seriously? You just found your child and all you can do is yell at the person who actually helped her when you were in God knows where!” I yell which ended up attracting stares of bystanders… and police officers.
Crap. This is just Crap.
“What’s going on here?” the officer asks.
“Yeah. Hi” I start but was soon cut off by Sapphire’s mom.
“Sir, I spotted this girl dragging my daughter off to who knows where and the worst part is, my daughter was crying!” she exclaimed.
I roll my eyes. Is she really that stupid?
“No! That’s not how it happened-“ I start to protest but was silenced with a look from the police.
“No more of that, you’re coming with me” he says and grips on my arm.
I seriously felt my eye twitch.
“No! I didn’t do anything wrong!” I struggled against his hold.
“That’s also an offense, disobeying officer’s orders” he noted.
“Seriously?” I wondered aloud.
He ignored me and started talking to the lady.
“Ma’am you’ll have to come down to the station if you want to press charges”
“Charges?!!” I burst out.
“Lady you got it all wrong!” I yell at her.
The officer’s partner takes hold of me and puts my wrists in handcuffs. After, he led me to the police car. Well, dragged me. I was thrashing around like a wild animal. The door of the car was being opened when I heard my name being called.
“Katniss!”
I turn to the sound. Peeta’s face met mine and I felt sudden joy. The rest of my friends jogged over to where I was.
“Already in trouble?” Finn teases.
“Ugh. Shut up Finn” I say.
“Get in” the officer ordered.
“Can I at least talk to my friends?” I ask calmly.
He nods and goes to his partner.
“What the fuck happened?” Clove asks.
“I helped a little girl and her mom accused me of kidnapping or harassing…. Whatever! She’s pressing charges” I say.
“Nice of you not to acknowledge me” Haymitch says.
“Hello uncle” I say sarcastically.
“Nevermind” he says, causing some of us to muffle our laughs.
“Never fear. I can get you out” he says.
“Well make that quick please” I say.
“Officer” Haymitch greets the man and soon they engaged in conversation.
“Oh my God… What happened to you?” Annie asks as she hugged me tight.
“Hey Annie. Oh you know, the usual kidnapping.” I say casually as I could.
She laughs and steps aside. The rest of them trap me in a hug.
“We missed your singing in the shower” Cato teases.
“Oh not me then?” I ask.
“Nope” Marvel continues and sticks his tongue out.
“You look so messed up for someone so brainless.” Johanna says.
“Thanks” I say back.
She grins at me
“Anytime”
“I can see why the mom pressed charges” Peeta talks for the first time
“Why’s that?”
“You don’t look too good” Peeta says and gestures to the windows of the police car.
I studied myself in the mirror. I can see why. My clothes were messed up, my face looks haggard, hair was unkept and untidy
“Oh” I let out.
“Yes. You look like you’re on drugs “ Glimmer says.
“I didn’t know honesty could be so insulting” I say.
“Well you missed out on a lot” Clove says.
“Let’s talk about that later” I say as the officer and Haymitch approached our group.
“You still have to come down to the station” he says.
“Really?” I ask Haymitch.
He doesn’t do anything but nod.
“We’ll be behind you” he promises and I nod as I got in the police car. In hand cuffs. I saw a reflection of myself in the mirror. I really did look haggard. The mother sat in the front passenger seat. In the backseat was me and Sapphire, the officer’s partner sat between us.
Dear God, I really wanted to hit the woman but I don’t think it’s going to help me. With a sigh, I sat back and stared out of the window, wishing that the ride would be fast because I really didn’t want to hear the mother ranting about me.
“I mean, she’s on drugs” she says.
I look to the officer and he shrugs and keeps driving.
I really wished he’d step on it but of course, he was driving as slow as a turtle.I closed my eyes hoping that I could block out everything even just for a little while.
We reached the station and we all walked inside. I was told to sit down, not wanting to cause anymore trouble, I obeyed.
The victors pile in the room and when I meet their eyes. I immediately saw the guys trying not to laugh. For the first time in my life, I wanted to beat the shit out of them.
A/N: So she got arrested... I don't know why I came up with that. Oh well. >.<
