AN; sorry it's taken so long and that it's so short! i had hoped it would be longer, but as it stands I have to go to class now and I also have to go home for the weekend without my laptop o.O joy of joys. I hope you guys enjoy this!

After wandering around for at lest half an hour I sat down upon a rock to try make sense of my current predicament. None of this made sense to me at all. My head was buzzing with all sorts of thoughts that I could barely make heads or tails of. Finn kissed me. He actually kissed me. What did that mean? Was I just another one of his girls? Was it because we were alone together and I was the closest female not related to him? No that couldn't be right. He always said he would never put our friendship on the line just to sleep with me. He also knows that I would kick his ass if he ever tried. So why now? And why did he look so downtrodden when I moved away?

I couldn't get that expression out of my mind. He looked like he was about to break.

I shook my head pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind for a moment as I analysed things I knew for certain. I had been having dreams, highly inappropriate dreams, about Finn. He was a very good looking guy, some girls have even called him an Adonis. Not that I know where that came from. Uncle Haymitch said something about Greek Mythology. Finn had kissed me. And I had liked it. But did I like it enough to consider whatever it was that Finn wanted from me? I wasn't so sure. Maybe I should go back and talk to him? Ask him exactly what it is he wants from me.

I put my head in my hands and sighed heavily. Why did he have to do this now? Why not wait until we were back home and things were simpler? A little voice in the back of my head reminded me it my never happen. That was what made it all the more confusing. Was he doing this just because we might not make it out of this alive? Kicking a rock frustratedly, I scanned the area around me, trying to look for something to shoot and take my emotions out on before a flash of white caught my eye. Squinting my eyes at the bush where I saw it million and one things flashed through my head, ultimately leading me to have a full internal panic attack. Because what else is black and white in the district woods but peacekeepers?

I turned on my heel as fasr as I could and ran back towards where we were camping to warn Finn. I couldn't leave them there like sitting ducks. I knew I was leading them to them, but if I didn't and they didn't follow me, they were all sitting ducks anyway. What I wanted to know was how on earth they were tracking us so efficiently? It doesn't seem like two minutes since I escaped them before!

A whirring over the top of my head caught my attention, causing me to freeze for a moment too long as a helicopter flew over me, towards where Finn and the others were hiding. In that moment I felt the butt of a gun hit my head before everything went black.

Finn's POV

I heard the helicopter before I saw it, jumping up and grabbing a hold of Jacob and Azure as I did, herding them to lay down behind a bush. How did they find us again? We had been so careful with our tracks and noise level, there was no way they could have tracked us! Then my mind floated over to something else. Rosie. Where on earth was Rosie. My blood ran cold with dread as every horrible scenario crossed through my mind.

I watched as the hovercraft landed, frozen in place, wishing Rosie were here to help. I shouldn't have kissed her. this was all my fault. We were all going to get caught and it was all my fault. My bran couldn't function well enough to plan an escape route, although there was no point now with people in black uniforms running out of the hovercraft, guns in their hands and bullet proof vests on.

Black uniforms. Not white.

It was then I saw the familiar face of Gale. He was whipping his head back and fourth, his gun raised and his eyes searching.

"DADDY!" cried a little voice behind me. Before I could grab hold of her Azure had run out from behind the bush and straight at Gale. He smiled and dropped his gun to the ground next to him before scooping her up in his arms and holding her tightly to him. I slowly rose from my hiding place, as did Jacob and we started walking towards the crowd of people still surveying the perimeter. There was then a squeak that I had never heard before, before Jacob was tackled in a hug by his mother. I had never heard such a relieved sound come from Mrs Mellark. Nor have I ever seen her look around so hopefully before her face turned to anguish and she stared at me in terror.

"Where is Rosie?" she asked quietly, almost afraid that if she raised her voice what she saw wouldn't confirm her worst nightmare. Except, it didn't matter now. Rosie would barge in, trying to save her brother and realise who it was and be happy again. Because that is the kind of person she is. Nothing could have happened because these weren't peacekeepers they were family.

"She was just walking around, she should be back soon."

Katniss' eyes went wide before she shouted over her shoulder. "Haymitch, do you have a read?"

"She's stopped moving... the others are closing in on us quick, one of them is stood by her dot," came the reply. Wait what?

"What's going on?" I asked, my voice getting slightly panicky.

"Son," Gale started, "We will explain everything as soon as you get in the hovercraft.

"But we need to wait for Rosie."

"It's not safe. Please, get in, we will explain." I looked over at Katniss who looked like she was going to keel over any moment with how pale she had gone. Gale walked over to her and shered her into the hovercraft along with Azure and Jacob. I followed suit as everyone else got n behind me and we began to fly again.

"We're out of harm's way, don't worry, Sweetheart, we'll et her back," Haymitch was saying. Get her back/ from where? She was fine. Right?

Can someone please tell me what is going on?" I demanded looking straight at Gale with a murderous glare. "Why aren't we waiting for Rosie? We can't just leave her!"

"The girl went and got herself kidnapped, boy. There is nothing we can do here. We will have to plan something new," came the reply from Haymitch. I felt as though the world was being pulled out from under me. Kidnapped? But Rosie is stronger than that surely?

The only thing I could think as I sank to my knees in shock and guilt was how this was all my fault.

ROSIE POV

My eyes snapped open to the sounds of gurgled screaming and laughter. I could hear people talking close to me, but slightly muffled, like they were on the other side of a door. A quick survey of where I was showed me I was in a cell, and my back was facing where I suspected the door to be. Taking short slow breaths stayed perfectly still, pretending I had yet to wake up, and screwed my eyes shut, concentrating on the conversation going on outside my door.

"... Mellark girl?... wanted to make a show of it..."

"...Cut out... tongue... everyone can see... broadcast..."

"When...wakes up..."

I tensed every single muscle in my body to stop myself from sobbing at the small snippets of conversation I was getting through. I felt a small tear escape my eye as I thought of what this would mean. I was unlikely to see mum, dad, Jacob or Finn ever again. Unless of course they had been caught too. In which case we would all be punished as a family. The thought gave me little comfort and I hoped I was the only person who was to suffer.

AN; leave me reviews to come back to yeah? :)
