FINNICK
"What's up?" Johanna asked me the next morning when she sat down next to me at breakfast.
"What's the big plan, Johanna?" I asked her. She looked up at me and made a disgusted expression while she swallowed cereal.
"Let it be, Finnick" She said, callously and took another sip of out of her bowl.
"Well, I want to know what you guys are planning. I mean, you can't just kidnap a girl and hold her forever" I said.
"Well, we're going to get her to confess up first then we'll think about later" Katniss said and sat down next to me.
"Get her to confess? You mean torture her?" I asked.
"Yeah, if she doesn't co-operate yes"
I stared at both of them in awe. I couldn't believe that they were actually serious.
"You're kidding right?" I asked Katniss "That is not the way we work. That's the Capitol"
"Let's go" Johanna said, ignoring me and made her way down to the basement.
I sighed and glanced at Katniss, what was wrong with her? Just because she lost Peeta didn't mean she had to do this?
I followed Johanna down.
Renee was almost sprawled on the floor, her white gown settling beside her in a heap. She looked terrible for someone so pretty.
She looked up at Johanna and whispered something. I went up to her and said "How are you feeling?"
"I'm great" She squeaked.
"So…" Johanna revealed a knife from her pocket and wiped it on her sleeve; she knelt down and continued "you're going to tell us everything you know about the capitol"
"What do I mean? I know as much as you do" She said. Johanna didn't wait; I couldn't even react in time before she stabbed the knife into Renee's leg. She howled with pain and I rushed forward to her.
"Johanna!" I yelled at her as blood gushed out of Renee's wound and her white fabric soon turned red.
"Tell us now. How many people how you hurt? How many killed, left homeless, wounded?" Johanna asked her like a raving animal, one question after the other as she digged the knife deeper into the wound.
I wanted to slap her, kill her, shout at her even though I had known Johanna for years and she was a great friend. I didn't actually want to kill her but seeing her do that to Renee was pretty painful for some reason.
"Who have you killed in the past?!" Johanna screamed into her face.
"No one! I swear no one" Renee cried.
"You're lying" Johanna said and twirled the knife while it was still stuck in Renee's skin. She cried out in pain.
"Okay, but it was a mistake!" She yelled.
What? Renee killed someone?
"A mistake huh? How did that happen? Who was it?" Katniss spoke up, for the first time during the interrogation and stepped into the light.
"I thought she was someone else, it wasn't her. I swear I didn't mean to kill her" Renee yelled.
"Her?" I asked. Renee looked at me. It's like she had forgotten I was there because of course, if I am here why would I let this happen to her? But I was letting it happen.
"Her name was…" Renee trailed off into her thoughts but Johanna twisting her right arm brought her back. I felt a pang of guilt. No, not just a pang. I was feeling extremely guilty right now. I couldn't do anything tough.
"WHAT WAS HER NAME?" Johanna asked.
"Annie, her name was Annie. Annie Cresta"
RENEE
I cried out again in pain. This Johanna Mason was a real piece of work. I had no other choice but to spill about that girl. Annie.
As soon as I said her name, Finnick, Johanna and Katniss let out a little gasp at the same time. Finnick stepped back, he turned and ran upstairs.
Why would he do that?
"What happened?" I asked. My knee was searing up in pain.
"Annie Cresta. You don't know who that is?" Johanna asked me. I shook my head.
"That was Finnick's fiancée. You killed her" Katniss said.
I gasped a little myself. Finnick's fiancée? How the heck could this all be related to him?
"Yeah" She said "Have fun. And don't itch or you'll get infection"
And then they left me.
FINNICK
I was sitting on my bed. I didn't know why I wasn't feeling anything. Maybe I was in shock from the recent revelation.
"What's the plan?" I asked as Johanna stepped in. She kept a hand on my back and gave me a slight awkward hug.
"Finnick…"
"What's the plan?" I asked again.
"President Snow needs to be punished" Katniss added.
"What are you going to do about Renee?" I asked.
"We're going to execute her. On TV"
