When I woke up I wasn't in a white room anymore, I was in a bedroom. A giant window was shut tight only letting flickers of sun come through.

The door opened I fully expected an array of peacekeepers but it was only Peeta.

"Cypress." He breathed out as if he wasn't expecting to see me. "I've been looking in every room for you." He flung his arms around me, I quickly returned the hug.

As we hugged I saw something.

I grabbed the back of his head and pulled it down so I could see better. Little dots from needles traced along his neck.

"And their injecting us with something...
JabberJay venom?" I guessed, as I traces the black and purple dots. "You already have imprints from it." "But that's supposed to make you hallucinate? I haven't had any problems."

I sat for a while. We are in the Capital, half of me thinks it's a good place to be but the other half feels like it's the worst place to be.

The capital is doing something, I know it. "You're right, are you hungry?" "No not really, why?" "Have you eaten anything after the games?" "No?"

I thought back to what I've heard in the Capital.

"Back in the first rebellion they'd injected people with this thing, I don't know what it was called, I only heard stories about it. But it made your body slowly shut down. You didn't get hungry, and you had no control over your body and your movements... Peeta, their making us their mutts."

Before he could answer Emerald and a peacekeeper walked in. "Cypress we need to get you ready. Snow wants to see you." Emerald stood their silently.

"Okay." I looked at Peeta who shrugged.

We didn't walk to a dressing room like I thought we would, instead we walked into Snows office.

"Ahh, Cypress, please come in. Have a seat, make yourself comfortable." I looked around at Emerald who sat emotionless.

"I love seeing you in the capital again. I know some of your clients miss you. Atom especially." I held back an eye roll.

"I'm sure he does." "But you know who missed you the most?" "No?" "Come in!" I looked at the door and stood quickly.

Blossom walked in with peacekeepers on either side. She had a piece of fabric around her mouth making her almost choke.
