9/0Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes
Clothes shredded falling to the floor , hair disheveled and empty patches of skin that held a mark of embarrassment branded onto her skin as a painful reminder of disgust.It all made her feel , Worthless.
All the money and jewels could never mask the way she felt , it wasn't a form of payment it was a form of ownership , and she wasn't having any of it .
She left the apartment in a state . She was not staying another minute there , him running his filthy fingers down her bare skin , him marking his territory on her .
Her finger shook uncontrollably as she pressed the elevator button a several times before becoming annoyed and making her way to the stairs , trying to get out of that building as soon as possible she started to run down the stairs tripping over her feet several times .
Her anger flustered as her heels were slowing her down , so she ditched them overall . slipping them off gracefully leaving them messily planted for the next person to discover the lucky prize .
She was back to being barefoot , again it almost reminded her running through the city with Finnick , but for a different cause and instead of feeling torn and broken she felt almost happy , most importantly she felt free . She wasn't the puppet yet .
She managed to free her self from the torment of the so called building she had no ride , that was expected to come in the morning . Little did they know once it was over , she would be long gone , why stay till the morning ?
To have a nice breakfast and pretend like nothing happened ?
To give a fake smile and a 'Good morning i hope you slept well next to my naked body'
Nina didn't come with a package you wanted her , the Victor you get her. and nothing else .
She ran away from the building without turning back , too afraid to see what was lurking in that window , too afraid to be destroyed again .
Her pace picked up slightly as she realised it was going to rain, as the first drop landed on the tip of her nose she gave a sigh of relief , and then again until every drop started to become more forceful and the rain picked up .
Nina bought her arms out and stood planted on the pavement with the rain pouring down her , the water ran down her not only soothing her but calming her down it drowned out the pain it felt like washing it all away .
She scrubbed at her arms , her chest that was exposed due to the make of the dress and most importantly her face she rubbed till her face was raw , till her makeup ran over her.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nina never spoke of that night , not to Ruby not to anyone .
She didn't even dare to think it because her main priority was Teddy . It was the reaping day and Most Victors got sent back to their district , except her .And she couldn't even be there for her own brother . To comfort her parents and tell them everything's going to be okay .
Instead she was slouched in front of a tv waiting for them to announce this years tributes who were in guilty of nothing .
She grabbed the couch underneath her as she saw President Snow make his annual speech which was the same every year , how he didn't get bored of it she never knew .
District one , two and three passed and Nina made a mental note of how dangerous they were for future reference and then , district four appeared .
Along were scattered the victors of district four , in the middle she spotted Finnick and her heart slightly picked up the pace . He looked motionlessly towards the crowd standing with his hands behind his back , and he looked scared .
Almost terrified as to what was about to happen Nina could see it in his eyes that he was afraid .
" And the district four tribute for the 70th Annual hunger games is "
She watched as the escort dig her claws into the reaping bowl that was half the size of her , after which seemed like hours she picked a piece up and cleared her throat .
"Annie cresta !" she chirped .
She watched as Finnick's eyes widened and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief .
A frail red haired girl walked out from the eighteen year olds section and walked onto stage her hands and feet obliviously shaking as she sniffled back cries of help .
She instantly felt pity for her and Finnick , she could of nearly made it out , but then again it was better to see an older person reaped rather than a developing child .
But what really made her stomach churn was the reaping of her own district, she leaned forward anticipating ever word thrown , she spotted Sam among the not so many victors knowing the woman he loved was among that crowd .
Her heart raced as Ruby picked her way through the tormented names in the bowl , she rested her chin on her hand as her knees shaked .
" The female tribute for the 70th Annual Hunger games is "
"Eve Daine "
She let a gasp escape her lips as she looked at Sam started to run down the stairs when he got roughly pushed back by the peacekeepers , Nina's hands trembled in fear.
She knew Eve and she knew how broken Sam would be he didn't see a world without her it would completely and utterly destroy him for life .
"I volunteer as tribute ".
