'She Came to 13' Part 1 By Effrinae Trinx

The rebellion was wavering but far from over. Things had quietened down a little, on both sides. New battle and strategy plans were being drawn up, new ways for us to get in, new ways for them to keep us out and quite frankly, the rest was doing us all a favor.

I hadn't spoken to her in 6 weeks I hadn't seen her in 8 months. It worried me, but worry was the one thing we had agreed not to do. This was business, pure and simple. We had said that from the beginning. But had she been caught? or worse...had she betrayed my trust and been working on the side of the capitol the entire time? She was a citizen, she looked the part, but those were real tears I saw at the quarter quell and those were real tears when I left her for 13.

Trust. It was a bittersweet thing to have for someone who visually screamed 'enemy' but whose heart beat for 'friend'

The beginning...

It had all started out so simple. She felt things changing and she begged me to trust her, so I told her my plan, she wanted to help, so I gave her a job to do.

"Get me what I need and stay alive".

Simple.

But then one night I had kissed her and she had kissed me back and we became undone. We'd shared a bed for several nights after and we had undone each other completely, every time. But then part of my plan went and destroyed a dome with an arrow and things had to chance quickly. I left and she stayed and it started.

As agreed, I had one reachable number and she would use multiple, untraceable phones. Effies Idea. a good one. But had she run out of phones?

6 weeks.

Over the first few months our calls had been quick and to the point. I asked the questions and she told me everything she knew, I gave her a task and she completed it and reported back. But then our conversations grew longer, sometimes lasting way into the night. We didn't sleep much anyway. I looked forward to hearing her voice and she admitted she felt the same. She told me about her nightmares and her fears and I told her that she would be ok and that I would wait for her and that she would be safe. The last thing I had told her to do was to get me blue prints. I didn't want to but coin insisted. I knew it was dangerous but I knew it would save us. So I asked and she agreed.

And I haven't heard from her in 6 weeks.

3 Days later

I had been called into Coins office and was greeted by her disappointed glare. She threw a magazine my way and my stomach flipped into my chest, I saw her face. Beautiful.

It had been so long that I had almost forgotten it. Her eyes, still as bright and as blue as the ocean, sparkled into mine as she graced the front cover in lavender chiffon and honey silk couture. She held a glass of champagne and was laughing as wild and as carefree as she always did.

Then realisation dawned and my heart sank. I missed her but I knew and coin knew too. She had betrayed me. She had betrayed us all.

"Page 6" Coin hissed

I turned and was met with a multiple of lavish party shots, Effie in the center of them all

'Effie Trinket, Capitol Hero!' Read the title

'Trinket shines as President Snow holds yet another celebration party for the Capitol! The rebels have gone quiet, proving that they are no match for the strength of our city. Snow and Trinket worked side by side for weeks to create the star studded event which lifted the spirits of this dark and cruel war, even if it was only one night. At the party the pair seemed inseparable and when asked if there was a flame burning between our President and our darling of the capitol Miss Trinket laughed and replied "Me and the President are great friends, but my heart belongs to another"

Who this 'other' may be is unknown as Miss Trinket refused to relay any more details of her personal life, but we know better! We bet our bottom dollar that the Presidential wedding bells will be ringing as soon as this ridiculous war is over, and for us at CapitGoss Central, we hope the sooner it is over, the better.'

I was surprised but still not entirely convinced.

"So she went to a party...we told her to keep up the pretense, its the only way she will survive this!" I was defending her when I myself was still unsure of her motives

"You fucked her didn't you?" Coin just about laughed in my face. I felt like a fool

"Whether I fucked her or not changes nothing! We are at war! I'm not stupid, I wouldn't trust her If I knew she was capable of such betrayal, she isn't! she just cant be!"

"Then you better get in touch with her soon and convince me other wise or I'm sending my men in for her!"

"Whats that supposed to mean? Surely if she was going to confess all to president Snow she'd have done it by now, what would be the point?"

"The point would be, Haymitch, that this woman has fooled us all and if we fail this was SHE will be accountable and her head will swing for it!"

Coin stormed out and left me in her office. I guess she purposely left the magazine too. To remind me who's side I was on and who was not on mine and as far as Effie Trinket was concerned, now I wasn't so sure.

I hadn't expected it at all. When she called me she sounded normal. No guilt or remorse. Did she not know we had seen the article? Probably not. So here she was, finally. Pretending again.

"Haymitch? I haven't got long. I'm coming to 13 I need to meet with you, I'll be there in 2 days where can I meet you!?"

"We saw the article..."

"Article..? What article? Ah you mean...I thought you might have. Theres nothing to it Haymitch. I'm still on your side"

"Looked pretty cosy to me"

"Oh for crying out loud Haymitch! I'm risking my life for your rebellion and your throwing jealousy at me?"

"Whoa whoa! Wait a minute!"

Jealousy! How dare she play that card, he already felt a fool in front of coin today, he wasn't about to let her make him feel like one too

"Now listen to me Princess, I-"

"No Haymitch! You listen to me, I have exactly 4 seconds, Ill be there in 2 days where can I meet you!"

"Theres a cafe near the outer north side of the district, Malloys, I'll be waiting at 9pm sharp, 2 days, don't be late"

She hung up

My heart was pounding. I wasn't sure if it was because I was going to see her again of if it was because I didn't know what i'd have to do to her if she has indeed been lying.

I picked the cafe because its out of the bustle of the district.

Coin mustn't know shes coming and mustn't see her whilst shes here. I was going to get to the bottom of this.
