The rain pelted down as Johanna and Katniss ran. Johanna ran as close to Katniss as she could without actually leaning against her. She kept running, though fear ate away at her insides and almost made her collapse in the mud. But every time she felt that way, she'd feel Katniss lightly brush her hand. They rain for several hours before the instructor called for push ups.
Johanna knelt in the mud, her hands in puddles, her entire body shaking. She could only do 5 before collapsing. Into the mud puddle.
"Johanna are you ok?" Katniss asked, putting a hand on her back.
"Don't hurt her. "Johanna's voice shook. "Kill me but don't hurt her. Please." She trembled as Katniss sat down in the puddle, pulling her into her lap. "I love her Snow. Don't hurt her. Please."
Katniss held Johanna tight, leaning down to whisper in her ear. "Deep in the meadow, under the willow. A bed of grass, a soft green pillow. " She rubbed her back, trying to soothe her out of the flashback. "Lay down your head, close your eyes. And when again they open, the sun will it's safe and here it's warm here I will guard you from every harm, here your dreams are sweet,and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place, where I love you." Katniss changed the words, promising to protect Johanna from anything.
"Katniss?" Johanna whispered, looking at her with bloodshot eyes."you sing like an angel." She smiled. "Can we go back now? I want to lie down"
"Come on Johanna" Katniss helped her to stand, then they began to walk the several miles back.
