All My Fault
Part 3.3
Through a Mentor's eyes.
AN: hey, guys… long time no see amirite? So sorry about the wait and PLEASE give me some feedback on what should happen 'cause I'm running out of inspiration and I had a serious case of writer's block. This fanfic only has 9 reviews and 3 of them are just notes from myself to you. So thanks to
mourneroffictionaldeaths. Thanks so much. Katnick is my favorite. I'm obsessed. Clove is my favorite other tribute, and I feel like she deserved a bigger spot in the books, besides being a crazy knife-throwing psycho. Thanks again. You're one of my biggest supporters.
Accidental Genius 23. Thanks for letting me know how the relationship actually looked to the reader. I edited and fixed that chapter. Again, you're one of my biggest supporters.
JustAPersonReading. Thanks for your feedback. You've really been a person I can ask for help with all of my fanfics. You, along with mourneroffictionaldeaths and Softlight12. Thanks so much.
Also, check out my other fanfics called not as Innocent as we may think and Jan HG 66. I will be posting February Hunger Games (67) soon.
Also, I have no self control whatsoever. I've been thinking of posting another story called Bulletproof soon. Should I wait until I've finished innocent or all my fault, or should I post now. It's another Finniss. No surprise there. R&R!
Finnick POV.
I sat with Haymitch, watching our tributes. Katniss. Maddi. Chaff. We didn't care about anyone else.
"At the end of the week," Haymitch began. "If more than one of those three is still alive, we'll put the plan into action. If not, than it's not worth it."
Originally, we had a plan to get all the Victor's and their loved ones out of the arena. But when only two Victors were reaped, we decided to wait.
"Maddi! It's a clock!" Katniss screamed. It didn't matter how loud she was. There was only seven tributes left, and it was only day two. There was Skyy Masterson from District 1.
"Did you notice that's the name of the guy from Guys and Dolls?" Maddi remarked. Diamond Llord, from 1, (Cashmere and Gloss' cousin) Brutus from District 2, Enobaria's sister, Meghan. Madrigal, Chaff, and Katniss. Evangeline and the girl from 10 died this morning.
"They're so close it hurts." I said.
"Come on. Just make it through the week." I heard Seeder mutter next to me. Earlier, I thought there was only three people I cared about. Two Victors. Then I remembered David, Evangeline, and Brutus. They were Victors, too.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Katniss's head whipped up.
"Who was that?"
"Either Skyy, Diamond, Brutus, Meghan, or Chaff." Maddi replied.
Even though I knew the two of them were safe, I was still sad. Brutus… or Chaff… what if it was one of them?
"Poor Chaff." Seeder whispered.
"If they kill him so help me." I heard Haymitch growl. He apparently didn't want his drinking buddy dead, either.
"Now. You said it was a clock?" Madrigal asked.
"Yeah. Each spoke was marking off a different time. That's what those twelve cannon shots were last night. Midnight, like I said. I don't know what it has to do with anything, though." Just than, a terrible scream came from nowhere.
"Prim…" Katniss muttered. Another scream.
"Prim!" She yelled and began following the sound.
"Katniss! Wait. Where are you…" Maddi began, but was cut off by another scream.
"Finnick!" She yelled. Katniss heard it too.
"Finnick! No!"
I sat back in my chair. That wasn't me screaming. It certainly sounded like it, but it wasn't me. My heart was beating faster. Don't go into a mental breakdown because of some fake scream.
"Come on, Katniss. Find that jabberjay."
Katniss looked up and saw two of them. Shot them both.
"Madrigal! It's just a jabberjay."
"But where do you think they got that sound? Jabberjays copy"
"Finnick…" Katniss whimpered as she also realized this.
"No! Katniss! It's fake!" The other mentors looked at me like I was crazy.
Several more screams came out. Katniss and Maddi named each one. Gale. Prim. Madge. Finnick. Calix. Edelweiss. One of them, though, threw off the entire plan.
"Dad?" Katniss asked no one in particular. Realization hit her.
"Maddi, they aren't copied. My dad's been dead for six years and that's his scream. They must've been artificially generated. Somehow."
"You're right. I think, maybe, each section of this arena has a terror that occurs just for this hour. We just have to make it through the hour."
"Or we could find the edge of this section." Katniss countered and took off running. Suddenly, she smacked right I to an invisible wall.
"Katniss! Are you alright?"
"We're trapped." She wailed over the jabberjays.
The hour ended and they found their way to the beach.
"So the tip of the Cornucopia points to twelve. We were in seven. That's the jabberjays. I bet the Cornucopia is safe.
(Good girl, Kat. I thought. The Cornucopia is safe)
" And we can see that the Careers aren't there, judging on how we can literally see into the Cornucopia from here." They stood in section 6, where the mouth of the Cornucopia pointed to them.
"Race ya!" Maddi said jumping into the water. Katniss jumped in after her.
I sighed. They were so immature sometimes. Fight to the death in the arena. Oh, good! Let's have a swimming contest.
Boom.
They immediately stopped swimming.
"Who was that?"
"Same options as before."
That night, the first to appear was Skyy, from 1, followed by his counterpart, Diamond.
"So 1 is down."
Next was Meghan from 2. Evangeline from 6. Héléna from 10. Chaff from 11.
"Eva and Chaff…" Katniss whispered
I sighed. Eva and Chaff were dead.
"I think we'll have a Victor tomorrow." Haymitch said, tears in his eyes. His best friend died. Seeder was sobbing.
"Come on," I whispered. "Why did it have to be you three leftover?" Katniss… one of my best friends and the girl I love. Brutus… my mentoring companion who helped me get through several years. And Madrigal… my little sister, who I feel an obligation to protect. Only one could make it.
(Warning: This section contains character deaths that may be emotional.)
The next day, after shedding a few tears for Chaff and Evangeline, Katniss and Madrigal woke to scream from section 2. It must've been Brutus, but there was no cannon. Section 2 was on fire.
"Well, now we know what four of the sections are." Said Maddi, trying to be optimistic. They knew 7 o clock was jabberjays, 8 o'clock was blood rain, (they found this out as they accidently stepped into the section for water) 2 o'clock was fire, and 5 o'clock was poisoned water. This section was the only one with water in it, and therefore all tributes tended to go there.
As it turned out, this was how Skyy died. Drinking water in the 5 o'clock hour. Oops.
It was several hours. They saw dog-like mutts emerging from 3. Katniss had an emotional break-down and retreated within herself.
"If she makes it out, we need to be there for her. I don't know what happened, but we've got to be there for her. Especially you, fish boy." Haymitch growled. I nodded, slightly intimidated.
There was a wave at eleven o'clock and lightning at twelve. That's when they decided to go get more water. They had to pass through 1, which they practically ran through, since it was one o'clock. They weren't fast enough. A vine wrapped around Katniss's hand and another around Maddie's legs pulling her to the ground. Katniss quickly cut through her vine with the knife she took from the Cornucopia.
"I have a feeling that if you keep squirming, it will strangle you faster." She said as she cut through the vines.
"What is this? Devil's snare from Harry Potter?"
Katniss laughed.
"If that was the case, I could burn through it."
But just as quickly that she cut through the the vines, new ones grew in their place.
"Katniss," Madrigal said, placing a hand on Katniss's knife
"Leave me here." Katniss shook her head.
"No. Hear me out. I never wanted to win. When I saw Finnick come out of his Games, I decided I never wanted that to happen to me. Even if I died, it wouldn't be worth it to survive the games. But you've already won. It's too late to turn back now. Win. Go home."
She had tears in her eyes. Katniss did too.
"Give me the knife." Maddi instructed. Katniss laid it in her hand. Madrigal Odair then plunged it into her heart.
"Bye Kat." And so she died.
I stood up and walked out of the room. My Maddi… she couldn't be dead. And she wanted to die, too.
"Hey, Fish-brains."
"Hi Johanna." I said.
"We aren't putting the plan into action."
"No Duh. But Katniss Everdeen ist coming out of that arena, Jo. I swear
