Saylor had spent her night talking with Beau. Well, mostly listening since Beau wouldn't stop talking about himself and how rich he was.

"But enough about me..." Finally... "You were the Victor of the last Hunger Games right?" He asked her. "Yep," She gave him a short answer not wanting to talk about it. "Was it easy? I feel like I could win." He stated. Did he seriously just ask me that? Is he dumb? "It was very difficult... Having to kill to survive and watch your friends die. And then leaving with the guilt of it is definitely not easy and I doubt most people can handle it." She snapped looking him straight in the eye.
"Well, I'm sure you thought it was hard since you are a girl. I mean I was shocked to see that the winner was a girl." He said with a smirk.

"OK, This conversation is over... Have a good night, or don't, I don't really care." She said then walked off. But Beau grabbed her arm. " Don't touch me." She demanded, Beau laughed and then walked closer to her. " You forget that I get to choose if I want you or not. You are under me, So I would watch out if I were you." He taunted. Saylor was about to reply but Coriolanus walked over. "I would suggest let go of her and walk away. Unless you want to cause a scene." He threatens.
Beau let go of Saylor then walked away. "Just you wait... " He mumbled.

Coriolanus looked at Saylor searching for any injuries. "Thanks... now I need to go find someone who will bet more money than him." She said then walked off. She didn't have much time left as she spent most of the night listening to Beau.
She saw a group of men and walked over to them and tried to flirt and talk to them. She hoped that it would be enough.

After the party was over Saylor went to her dressing room and changed into a rope and lingerie set.
Then she walked to the hotel room. She stopped before entering and took a few deep breaths. She was about to walk in when she heard "Wait." She turned to look at Coriolanus. " If you need help or anything jiggle on the doorknob." She nodded. "Just knock before you enter... just in case." She looked at him and he nodded. Saylor looked at Sejanus and he had tears in his eyes. He has such a big heart. She gave him a small smile and then walked into the room.

She sadly wasn't surprised to see Beau sitting on the bed with a smirk.

"You think you can disrespect me like that and get away with it? Well, you are in for a sweet surprise." He taunted and walked towards her. He grabbed her and slammed her against the wall while wrapping his hand around her throat choking her. "I'm going to teach you a lesson." He spat then untied her robe one-handed. She tried to pry his hands off but it wasn't working.
Saylor vision started getting blurry and she was losing consciousness. Her eyes started closing, so she tried to open them again but for some reason, she saw Julia choking her. The scar on her neck started to burn almost like she was being cut again.

Beau stopped choking her and pushed her on her knees. Saylor was coughing and gasping for air.
I should have died in the games... it would have been so much easier.
Beau took off his belt and pulled his pants down.

Saylor refuses to cry. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of making her cry. Her whole body hurt. And she couldn't feel her legs. He started to choke her again. "You thought you were so much better than me. Hm..? Look at you now. You think you're so tough..." He spat. Don't let him win
" At least I am tougher than you... A girl bruised your ego so you-" Saylor knew she should have kept her thoughts in her head but she refused to let him think he won. "Ok, That's it." He grabbed her hair and pulled her off the bed. He grabbed his belt and started to hit her with it. "I'm going to break you." He yelled.

"You're pathetic... like dirt under my shoe." Saylor heard him say then the door slammed shut. As soon as the door closed she started crying. Her whole body was in intense pain and she was pretty sure she was bleeding. She used all her strength left and crawled over to her robe. It took her a second to put it on as the pain was getting unbearable. She tried to hold in her screams and groans but it was getting too much.

...................................................................................

When she got her robe on , she looked for anything in the room that she could throw out the door. Jackpot She thought as she saw big wax candles on the nightstand. She crawled over to the nightstand, groaning in pain with each move that she made.
A little closer... she used all her strength to lift herself up and grab the candles. Then she threw them at the door knob.

The first one barely moved the handle. And the second one missed. Her third and last one she threw as hard as she could and she made the handle completely go up and down.

She cried out of happiness and frustration. I hope that worked I don't know what to do if it didn't.
Saylor rolled over to her side, trying to give her back a break from the throbbing pain. There was a knock on the door and Saylor was relieved. The door slightly opened. "I saw the door knob move, Can I come in?" She was so happy to hear his voice. "Help..." She weakly said. Coriolanus opens the door and runs in.

Saylor had a robe on but Coriolanus could tell she was hurt. "Can you stand or move?" He asked her, She shook her head. "Ok... I'm going to go get Tigris. Sejanus!" He called out and Sejanus entered the room. "Stay with Saylor, I'm going to go get Tigris." He said then ran out of the room. "Is there anything I can do for you right now?" Sejanus asked Saylor. She shakes her head. " This is so messed up... I wish I could do something." He said talking out loud but mostly to himself.

Coriolanus runs back with Tigris right behind him. "She said she can't stand or move." He explained. "I need the both of you to leave so I can look at her injuries," Tigris says then they both leave. "I'm going to lift your robe so I can see how to help you ok?" Saylor nods. Tigris lifts her robe and gasps out of horror. "Oh, sweetie... I'm going to go get the nurse ok? I'll be right back."

The Nurse was applying some sort of cream on Saylor's back that helped with the pain and throbbing. Then gave her a pill for her internal pain. After the nurse was done, she explained that it would take around 15 minutes to kick in. So after 15 minutes, Tigris helped Saylor into some clothes and helped her walk to her dressing room.

"I'm going to go talk to our boss to see if they will let you go home early... usually when one of us gets bruised badly they will let us go home since no one wants our company if we're bruised." She explained then left.

After a while, she came back. "OK they are letting you go home early but as soon as you heal you have to come back... so like in a week or so," Tigris told Saylor.

Saylor was walking to the train with Tigris linked on her arm for support. It was pretty late so there was barely anyone around the train station. "This is goodbye for now... I need to get back. But I will see you soon. " Tigris said then hugged Saylor, being very careful not to hurt her. Tigris gave Coriolanus a soft smile then walked away back to the Capitol.

Saylor was lying on the stomach on her bed as it was still painful to put pressure on her back. Somehow she managed to fall asleep. But boy did she wish she didn't. She had a nightmare and she had to relive what just happened to her. She woke up screaming and then started sobbing. She sat up and tried to scratch his hands off her neck. But his hands weren't there, so she was scratching her own neck.

Coriolanus runs into the room and sees Saylor. He goes over to her and gently grabs her hands off her neck and holds them. "It was just a dream... you're ok, look at me... you are safe." He reassured her.
Saylor looked around and realized she was on the train. "Take a few deep breaths." Saylor listened and it helped her calm down. "I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Don't be..." he reassured her then let go of her hands. He reached for her glass of water and handed it to her. She took and few sips then she put it back on the nightstand. It was so real. Like I was going through it again... gosh this is so embarrassing.

"Well... Goodnight Saylor, if you need anything you know where to find me. Don't hesitate I will be happy to help you." He told her then walked out of her room. Please don't leave me... I don't want to be alone. She thought but didn't say.

Little did she know Coriolanus stood right outside her door the entire night just in case she needed him. something is different about her... I feel the need to protect her.... This isn't you. He thought,
but that didn't stop him from trying to protect her.
