"You can go, Ms. L/n" the security guard ushered you out as you smacked his chest

"no! it's not fair! she had something!" you felt tears brim your eyes as Dill laid dead on the screen, it all happened so fast. 

"Nope. you need to go ma'am" he said for a final time, your teary eyes traveled to Coriolanus as he bit his fist and stared straight ahead. he wouldn't even look at you.

you ran out of the auditorium and straight to the closet you were all too familiar with now, you gripped at your blazer and ripped it off as you choked on your breaths, hot tears ran down your face as you replayed the moment in your mind.

Lucy Gray poured powder from a compact into a water bottle and left it. Dill drank it and died.

that's the sentence that rippled in your mind as you tried to calm your breathing

she was 12.

what was in the water?

who gave that to her?

she didn't even have a life.

why did she have to drink it?

what. was. that. powder?

that was the final word that was left in your head as you finally calmed down...your head ached from your tears as your eyes watched numbly to the swinging light bulb

just then, the door burst open, It was Coriolanus. he immediately hugged you and you almost felt the tears return

"I'm so sorry" he mumbled in your hair

"What was that? who even let her have that?" you sobbed into his button-up

"I don't know..." he plainly said, rubbing up your back while kissing your forehead

soon, you collected yourself and sent Coriolanus to go back and watch his tribute. there was nothing left for you to do now but go home. you buttoned your blazer and fixed your hair before making the journey home, leaving your mentor status behind.
