This story will have some Hunger Games inspiration especially on the characters and the history but a lot of the plot will be different.
Chapter 1
We keep walking but the sound of the explosion makes me turn and I see from the top of the mountain the smoke and the flames. The storage. The fire. The fire on the storage.
"No."I scream louder that I thought it was possible and I ran. I ran trying to catch it. I try to get to the fire when to strong arms stop me pulling me to a firm body I try to fight back but it's worthless he's strong. Stronger than me so it isn't hard to know who is immediately.
"Katniss, there is nothing we can do." The empty voice says also broken but I just scream and fight.
"Let me go Finnick, let me go." I scream at him. "Let me go." I say now completely broken as I see the explosions and the screams and I know. I'm not alive anymore.
I wake up breathing fast and looking around. I look at my front and I see Finnick looking at the window, probably has broken as me.
"We arrive." Johanna says and we both look at her and standing up leaving the train.
"Where are we again?" Finnick asks.
"Mystic Falls."
I wake up again in screams and sweet. I look at the room and I see it is empty bed and I get up.
When I get outside I see Johanna throwing knives at a tree and I look at the clean sky. It's still earlier morning. She throws another knife with so much strength that could bring a person down ever before she felt the pain.
"The tree doesn't die that easily." I say to her and she turns looking at me with her dark broken eyes.
"I know." She says almost sad about it.
"Let's just be happy it is a tree." A deep voice says and we look at the small rail and we see Finnick with apples in his hands. "I brought breakfast." He says and I leave the door to let him get in and put the apples in the table.
The house was small but it was the best we could get, and the only one abandoned we could find. It only had 3 divisions: a room where two almost broken bed that weren't very comfortable where Johanna and I slept; the bathroom that seems to be the only place working properly if of course we ignore the fact that we don't have water in the plumbing and we can't use the toilet; the last one the improvised kitchen, where we have a small old table, appliances that must not be working for years, broken cupboards and a small couch where Finnick sleeps or at least tries to sleep. No one reclaimed of the house. To be honest we leaved in worst places having in count that we have a small river just foots from the house and thanks to what Beetee teach us we can have lights in the house for some couple of hours.
"Someone should go to town." Finnick says after putting the 6 apples in the table. "We need to do something to try to get back there." He says and we all look at each other knowing that the paradise where we have are leaving can't last forever. I mean who long it has been like 10 days.
"Then go." Johanna says eating an apple. We all know that she was the last option to look for someone and Finnick looked at me almost telling me that I am the one who has to go but there is no way I am going alone.
"Maybe we can go both." I say to him and he nod knowing that there is no escaping.
We walk for 30 minutes until we finally got the central of the town. It should be about 2 miles from the house where we leave. The town is a peaceful place and I can't help but envy them because they don't have worry about revolutions and fights like we do. Yes I envy they lives, but who can blame me.
"So, where do we start?" Finnick asks me and I have no idea. I look around and I see some place call Mystic Grill.
"What about there?" I ask pointing to the place where 3 women are leaving.
"There?" He asks me confused. "What the hell is a Grill?"
"I have no idea but there is only one way to figured it out." I say and we start walking to the place.
We looked around and we saw a lot of tables and group of people eating what it look like be amazing food.
"It's a restaurant." Finnick says. We are not used to see restaurants in our districts but the Capitol there are a lot, not that I went to one.
"Hello can I help you guys?" I blonde boy with blue eyes asks us. We look at each other not sure of what to say. This is what happens when you don't have a plan.
"We were looking for jobs." The words come out of my month and Finnick looks at me surprised.
"Oh." He says surprised. "Can you please follow me?" He says and we do it. We wait for him at a bar and I could see a lot of drinks showing and I can't help but remembering a certain someone. Finnick catches my eye and I can see a small smile, probably remembering the same person as I am.
"Hello." A woman, around her 30's asks us. "I'm Judy, the owner of the place. Matt told me you guys were looking for a job." She says looking at Finnick and blinking a few times. Great Finnick charm is going to save us.
"Yes. I'm Finnick and this is Katniss." He says but she doesn't even looks at me just at him with her eyes open when he speaks. "Yes we were hoping to find a job. We aren't planning to spend a lot of time in town but a job would come handy." He says giving her the typical Finnick Odair I Can Charm Any Woman smile.
"Actually we have spots free you guys can take them but it is not the best schedules." She says and we nod agreeing but she doesn't even looks at me just stared at Finnick and I try not to roll my eyes. "Just tell me your names and ages."
"Finn Cohen, I'm 25." He says and I look confused. Where the hell did he got the last name. "Kat Deen." He adds, very original
"Kat Deen?" She says looking at me. "As in Katherine or Katerina?"
"Katerina." I say liking the sound of the last one better.
"Age?" She asks me.
"18." I say and she nods.
"Are you in school or did you finish already?"
"I already finish."
"Are you too related?" She asks us. Seriously there is nothing in common between us.
"No we are not." Finnick says and she puts her papers down she looked like she didn't like the answer.
"You can start tomorrow at 10 pm until 3:30 and you can will take shifts where. One of you can work from 6:30 to 8:30 or 8:30 to 10:30, you pick."
"Ok, when can we start working?" Finnick asks her.
"Tomorrow." She says and we nod, leaving the place.
"Looks like we found a job." He says and I just stare at him. "What Katerina? It was your idea." He says and just stared at him, why did I say Katerina.
"A stupid one."
"Not completely. We are looking for the girl, maybe she eats there." He says. "We should go back to the woods."
Later that night, where Johanna was already in bed, I found him sitting outside looking at the sky. I sit next to him and I looked at the starts in the sky and I ask him the question that it has been on my mind for hours.
"Finnick, here did you got the name Cohen?"
"It was Mags last name." He says and I could feel the pain in his voice. It was obvious he missed her. I remember Johanna telling me that she was like family to him and she sacrificed her life for me, him and Peeta. She was a brave woman. We look again at the clear sky. "We have been where for 10 days." He says after some time.
"I know. What do you think that happen?"
"I have no idea." He says. "Maybe we won."
"I doubt, do you think we lost?"
"No, they wouldn't make an attack. They are protected for now and they don't have a strategy besides the Capitol is not going to make an attack."
"Why not?" I ask turning to him.
"Because they don't know our number or where we are hiding."
"But they are not stupid they will found out sooner or later."
"I just hope we will be back in time."
"We need to find the girl. Bonnie, right?"
"Yes." He says getting up and I look at him. "We need at least some sleep."
This is the first chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Please review and tell me who would to see happening, your opinions mean a lot to me.
