I would just like to start this off by apologizing that this is so short yet again, I have been super busy in the past few days with school and work and trying to get this to keep going. It's been stressful. But I got another chapter done! So without further ado, enjoy!

He stopped in front of us and turned his head. For a few moments he just stood there, trying to place us by our faces. Then, soon enough, his eyes widened.
"Derek get in the car!" Finnick ordered. Just after he finished a girl, probably a year younger than us ran out, dressed fully in a Peacekeeper uniform except for the helmet which she was holding in her hand along with a gun. She quickly followed Derek's gaze and saw us in the car. Without a moment of hesitation she dragged Derek into the car and got in beside him.
"What are you waiting for? Go!" She demanded. Finnick stepped on the gas, speeding out of the place before we could be discovered.
"Go behind the building and park." The girl said from the backseat. Finnick hesitantly did as he was told and parked the car.
"Get into the back." She ordered while she got out of the car and walked to the drivers seat. Finnick looked at me out of the corner of his eye.
"If you don't want to get caught I would recommend getting out of the car and into the back this instant or we'll all die." I heard Finnick scoff slightly as he got out of the car and went to where she had been sitting in the back. The girl put on the helmet and sat down in the drivers seat. Once we were all situated she started to drive away.
"Where are you taking us?" I asked her.
"Thirteen." She promptly answered.
"Why Thirteen?" Finnick questioned from the back.
"Well I thought that you wanted to get her little brother back. But if you don't I can turn around and hand you two over to the Capital." I heard Derek slightly chuckle in the back at her response.
"Who are you?" She kept her eyes trained on the road in front of us.
"Jules Visinity. My father was killed for not killing you and Derek in the Games when you were both being lifted into the Hovercraft during your big stunt, so you should be pretty sure that I'm on your side." Jules said.
"So are you from One or Two?" Finnick asked.
"One. I was actually training for the Games when I was taken out of there and they sent me to that little torture area. It seems like you have quite a lot of people who want you dead Ms. Mellark." Jules slightly laughed. We had made it out of the Capitol and were on our way to the other Districts so Jules removed her helmet. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Derek in the rearview mirror looking at Jules with a soft smile on his face. For some reason I felt jealous that he was looking at her that way and not at me.
"How old are you then?" Finnick asked her, bringing me out of my thoughts. Jules pressed a button next to the steering wheel. She let go of it and smiled since the car was now driving itself to the coordinates she had set.
"I'm sixteen; I'll be seventeen in a few weeks. I only have one older brother who is a Peacekeeper. I actually stole this suit from him so I could get out of the cell I was in. On my way out I saw that Derek was being escorted back to his cell so I said that I was told by the President to take him back to the cell. We were halfway out of there when they saw us. Luckily we found you two before they found us. I've been held captive for the past few months while your side was planning the whole thing. Luckily I know everything that's going on here. Now if you don't mind I'm quite tired. I would recommend for you two to also get some shut eye." Jules explained while she removed the suit she was in, revealing white pants and a white long sleeved shirt identical to the ones that Derek was wearing. She pulled her long dark brown hair back as she sat down between Finnick and Derek. Jules looked quite young for a sixteen year old. She wasn't the tallest girl in the world, and the splash of light freckles she had across her nose didn't help her cause.
"I'll stay awake, we don't want to be asleep and run into the enemy." Finnick muttered. He stepped over Jules and Derek then slipped back into the empty seat up front.
"Good idea… Wake me if we run into any of them." Jules said while yawning. I saw her gently lean her head on Derek's shoulder as she closed her eyes. Derek smiled down at her sleeping form then laid his head on the window wincing slightly at the cold against the bandages. He slowly shut his eyes, also falling fast asleep. I didn't say a word to Finnick and followed the example that Derek and Jules were setting, falling asleep the instant my head hit the window.

"So you've been getting tortured this whole time and the only person you've ever spoken to during your stay with them was Jules?" I heard Finnick ask. From the back I heard Derek's response.
"Yeah, we had a few hours between the times that they would take me and the times that they would take her to talk to each other. I didn't know what she looked like until today though. There was a large wall separating our cells and they would usually bring me back to it when I was knocked out, or they had already taken Jules by the time I had gotten back to my cell. So all we ever did was talk." Derek muttered. Jules must've still been asleep or she probably would've added her input in there. I kept my eyes closed so they would continue the conversation and think that I was still asleep.
"That's crazy; but hey at least she's pretty! I bet it would've really sucked if she wasn't!" Finn said slightly chuckling.
"I don't think so… I think that she's gorgeous; even if she was bald and her face was deformed. We connected during our time in there." Derek said sweetly. I wanted to get out of my seat and clap for him because not all men would actually say something like that. I gently moved and opened my eyes, letting them know that I was awake.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." Finn joked. I rolled my eyes and slightly punched his shoulder. Derek chuckled from behind us.
"Are you two still dating?" He asked. Finnick and I awkwardly shifted in our seats.
"No… Not anymore." Finn mumbled. The car was silent for a few minutes until finally Finnick spoke again.
"So what did they do to you in there?" Derek tensed in the back seat.
"Oh… They uh… Well you see they… I would really rather not talk about it." He said sadly. I turned around in my seat so I could see him.
"You can tell us, we won't judge you, I promise." I said sending him a small reassuring smile. Derek looked down at his hands sadly.
"Stop the car." He muttered. Finnick hesitantly looked at me. I nodded to him silently signaling that he turned off the car. He turned off the auto drive and parked the car. Derek gently moved Jules so she was laying across the seats then got out of the car. He walked over to where a large boulder was on the side of the road and looked back at us sadly. In one swift motion he lifted the rock above his head with one hand. After he set it down he picked up a sharper rock on the side of the road and stabbed it into his flesh. Finnick and I flinched when we saw him take it out and show us a large hole in his arm.
"Wait a second… Is it closing up? Lily are you seeing this? He's healing himself!" Finnick exclaimed. I could only stare at him in shock. Derek walked back to the car and climbed back into his old spot, making sure that Jules wasn't disturbed. Finnick and I looked back at him, completely and utterly shocked.
"They… Oh my god they…" I stumbled over my own words, staring at Derek who looked down at his hands and the spot on his arm that had completely healed itself in disgust.
"They mutated me."
And thats another chapter! I brought in a new character too! Jules is going to be very important to this story so be sure to keep her in mind.
