Chapter 19 This aint just a house ; it was a scrapbook of her and Auroras memories .
Every brick and tile here screamed Auroras life and hard work .
She wouldnt let it go without a fight ; no way shes backing down ! Katniss was fuming .
These things were like gold to her , but to the Manners family ? Just some junk .
Seeing Katnisss eyes all red , Lucas was a bit thrown off , then his look got serious , asking , But you want Simon to have a criminal record over a dead person ? Katniss scoffed , People gotta own up to what they do .
Just like her , her dumb mistakes in her past life cost her everything .
Simon should pay up too .
With that , Katniss , not wanting to waste more breath , turned and walked off .
She still had classes and a part time gig .
Too much to do to waste time arguing with them .

On the quiet street , a car pulled up , and the door swung open .
Lucas grabbed Katnisss arm , yanking her into the car .
Let go of me ! Are you nuts ? Katniss yelled , struggling like mad , sinking into despair .
Lucass eyes were ice cold .
He shoved Katniss into the car , ignoring her kicks and screams .
Cut it out ! Shut up ! Lucas growled , rough as ever .
Katniss got banged up in the struggle , pain shooting through her body .
What the hell are you doing ! Let go of me ! Katniss screamed , desperate .
Lucas looked at the barely conscious Katniss , slammed the car door shut .
The car started , vanishing into the night .
With bruises all over and her clothes a mess , Katniss looked wrecked .

But Luças didnt care , radiating authority .
He glared at Katniss , starting his threats without a second thought .
Katniss , youve been stirring up trouble for days .
Time to cut it out .
Look at yourself ; you totally deserve this ! Lucass voice was icy .
If you wanna get back with the Manners family , you better do what I say .
The scenery zipped by outside the car window .
Katniss bit her lip , hesitated , then sneakily pulled out her phone and sent a message .
Sitting in the car , Katniss looked stone cold , saying nothing , her eyes icy .
The car stopped at the police station .
Lucas got out , dragging Katniss , who was too numb to feel the pain , into the interrogation room .

Inside , two cops were grilling Simon .
Seeing Katniss brought in , Simon almost lunged at her , eyes blazing , but the cops held him back .
You troublemaker , calling the cops on me ! Get outta my way ; I need to teach her a lesson ! Simon yelled , losing it .
Katniss clutched the cops sleeve , saying , Hes gonna hit me , what do I do ? her voice shaking , Calm down ! Officer Nolan barked at Simon , then softened his tone , speaking gently to Katniss , Dont worry , we got you .
Katniss nodded , looking scared , hiding her scheming thoughts , Latas wanted her to bail Simon out , but no way ! In front of the cops , she didnt think theyd dare touch her .
Now was the perfect time to mess with them .
This is a misunderstanding .
Simon likes to mess around with Katniss at home .
Lately , Katniss has been acting out .
Theyre siblings ; its normal to fight , Lucas explained , glaring at Katniss , then looking at Colin , saying seriously , Officer Colin , can we talk ? Colin nodded , telling his guys to keep an eye on things .
