Fern nodded and Harlow gently handed the baby over as Gran showed
her how to hold the newborn. "Are all babies this tiny?" Fern
questioned with a small smile on her face.
Cap reached through the bars and grabbed Leaf's arm, who screamed
in protest. Azar grabbed Leaf and tryied to pull her back but an
older Peacekeeper punched her in the jaw causing her to stumble
back adn release her hold on Leaf. Cap pulled her through. "Dyaln!
Hold her still!" The same peacekeeper gripped Leaf and held her as
still as he could manage.
Cap stretched a little and looked at Leaf. "Now, for your due, miss
Leaf." Cap felt Leaf's stomach for a moment and smiled. “Perfect.
Put her on the floor, Dylan.”
*Dylan stepped out of the shadows. His eyes were lined with a fiery
red. His glove began to glow the same color. He wound up his arm to
hit Leaf, but when he hit her, the energy disbursed and she flew to
a wall*

Leaf slammed into the wall and dropped to the ground, blood started
to flow from her head wound. Cap smirked and whispered in passing
to Dyaln. "So, any sugestions on what we should do with this pretty
lady?"
Emmie closes her eyes. She begins wailing, at the top of her lungs.
Or as loud as her lungs would allow her. She shrieks and moans and
makes as much noise as possible. She kick the cells and screams,
hoping to distract Cap and whoever else is out there.
His smile has a grip on me <3

Harlow laughs. "Well, sometimes they can be slightly bigger,
sometimes they can be slightly smaller" she explains. She sits down
next to Fern. "How has Gran been treating you? Has she been
spoiling you at all?"
Tempest shivers when the medics leave the room. Without them there
to distract her, it dawns on her just how cold the room is. She
glances over at her wrist. "Maybe I can use my powers?" Tempest
whispers outloud. When she tries to shift she is met with pounding
in her head. The overwhelming headache stops her from shifting. She
sighs and lays there, waiting for whatever torture comes next.
Fern nodded. "She lets me stay up latter then what Leaf does, she
also gives me some money some times so I can buy sweets."
Sage gave a hiccup after Fern finished feeding her then sighed into
Fern's arms. Willow started fussing in Gran's arms, she was looking
for Leaf but being unable to find her seemed to upset the baby
some.
"Yeah... I miss her two" Harlow whispers to Willow. Gran's eyes
meet up with Harlow's, the two seem to be having a silent
conversation. A "we'll talk later look" crosses over Gran's face
before she glances down at Willow. She ever so carefully moves over
to the rocking chair in the corner of the room and rocks
Willow.
Harlow turns back to Fern. "You are going to be a great aunt" she
tells Fern. "Are you planning on spoiling the girls like Gran
spoils you?"
Fern looked up at Harlow and nodded. "Isnt' that what aunts are
for?"
Willow stopped fussing and seemed confused at the sudden rocking,
but the baby seemed to enjoy it as she settled down in Gran's arms
and started sucking on Gran's finger, nibbling some with Willow's
tiny gums.
Delta steps into the cell block. "Did I miss anything?" she asks,
the temperature in the room drops several degrees. Her voice is low
and clear, she doesn't seem to be affected by the sudden cold that
spreads around the room. Her dark blue eye lands on Emmie. "Hush."
she says. A bolt of ice flies into Emmie's throat. The 13 year old
girl looks up in surprise, grabs her throat and passes out.

"Of course!" Harlow tells Fern. "I can't wait to see you three play
with eachother when they are older. It's going to be so much fun,
for all of us" to Harlow's credit, she says this without breaking
down. To Harlow, they can't be a complete family without Leaf.
Gran smiles at Willow. She is having memories of Harlow when she
was this age. It was a much simpler time. Gran knows that Harlow is
hurting. It pains her that there is nothing she can do about it.
"It's not. But I'll get her back. I promise." Gran's head snaps up
in surprise, she opens her mouth to say something, then realizes
that this is not the time to discuss this.
"Fern, why don't you put Sage in her crib so she can properly
sleep?" Gran asks as she continues to rock Willow
Harlow stands up, ready to follow Fern when she is suddenly stopped
in her tracks. When she turns to look at Gran she is met with a
disapproved look. "Harlow honey. I know you want to save Leaf...
But you can't. Both of you are new mothers. What if something
happens to you two? Your children will be raised not knowing their
parents" Gran explains. Harlow turns away from Gran, tears falling
down her face.
"You're right... But I can't just sit here and put my trust in the
hands of everyone here... No offense to them. I just...I don't feel
like myself without her" she turns to Gran, wiping her face. "I'm
going to do this. But only if you and Fern are okay with this idea.
But if I go out there, I will come back alive and I will bring Leaf
back with me"
"Those are empty promises Harlow.." Gran replies with a saddened
expression. "You can't promise that. The future is too unknown"
Peacekeepers suddenly move towards Azar's cell. Two of them grab
her arms, while the other two ensure that she can't fight them.
They roughly drag the girl down a hall towards a dark room. "That's
perfect boys.. thank you" a voice whispers in the darkness. Azar is
shoved in the center of the room. Behind her, is frantic shuffling
and a slam of a door. The second the door shuts an automatic light
turns on, dimming the room. It gives off just enough light that
Kayda can be seen. Her hands are chained to a wall, but the chain
is long enough so that she can freely move around. It's obvious
that the Capitol doesn't fully trust her. "Why hello little
friend~" Kayda purrs. "Remember me?" Her skin is deathly pale, and
her eyes lack emotion. She looks like a dead girl walking.
Gran sighs. "We'll finish this later" she moves to the next room
and puts Willow in her crib
Willow gave a sigh as she fell asleep into the crib, Sage turned
onto her side but stayed asleep. Fern looked up at Gran and Harlow,
sensing the tention. "Are you guys okay? You sound tense."
Azar had to squint at the sudden light but then her eyebrows raised
in shock. "Kayda? It can't be, you drowned, I saw it." She pushed
herself to her feet and took a step back in caution. "You got
tangled up in the weeds at the bottom of the lake bed."
"I did!" She chirps. "Oh, that expierence terrible! But the Capitol
thought that I deserved a second chance" she smiles. "And a second
chance is what I received" she smiles and shuts her eyes. "To repay
the Captiol for so graciously giving back my life, I have to take
many more" she laughs. "Like I'll have a problem with that!" She
steps forward, the chains rattling against eachother as she moves
closer and closer to Azar. Suddenly she stops moving, this is as
far as the chains will go. She is only a few feet away from Azar.
"Why are you so scared Azar? Don't you wanna play?" She pouts.
"I wanted to... You are no fun.. not as fun as your
girlfriend"
"Not going to let me have any fun then, I presume." Delta says,
raising an eyebrow at Cap and Dylan, waiting for a response. Her
finger tips are Icey blue, matching her lighter eye.
His smile has a grip on me <3
