Chapter 10:
Never Alone Completely

It was about 3 in the morning and the train lurched to the stop. Mom woke us all up by screaming that someone was entering the train. I shrugged and tried to fall back asleep.

"Luna, wake up!" Maple hissed taking my pillow out from underneath my head.

I grumbled and sighed.

"Peacekeepers are here! They've found us." Maple said as I shot out of bed.

"What do we do?" She asked as I broke the vase sitting on my nightstand and picked up the sharp and pointy glass shards.

"Have a makeshift weapon." I said handing them to her.

"Where are they? We need the runts!" Someone yelled passing the compartment. There was a gunshot and Maple screamed.

I slapped my hand over her mouth and got ready to fight. I balanced a shard of glass and someone opened the compartment.

Maple whimpered and I sprang into attack.

He shoved me from him easily, but I sliced his face open with the glass as I fell. I fell with a grunt and dropped all the glass.

I grabbed a piece as he leaned over me and plunged it into his eye. He screamed and staggered away from me.

"Come on." Maple said locking him in the compartment. We ran off to where Finnick and Devin were fighting some. Finnick had a sword from over the fireplace and Devin caused the distraction.

"Hey, ugly!" I yelled taking the attention off Devin.

"Go find Allie." I whisper-hissed to Devin. He took off running down the hall.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Nobody." I said trying my luck. Odysseus tried this trick on the Cyclops. It worked out for him, so maybe this Peacekeeper is really dumb.

"Nobody is here!" He yelled into his speaker in his helmet. Finnick broke the thing connecting him to everyone else.

"Who is your friend, Nobody?" He asked.

"Not." I answered.

"Not who?" He asked.

"Not Anybody." I answered as he nodded.

"Nobody and Not Anybody are here." He said.

"I bet you that we're smarter than you are." I challenged.

"What's your bet?" He asked.

"My name." I answered.

"But you're Nobody." He said.

"Damn right, she's Nobody." Finnick said cutting off his head.

We ran down the hall and I got separated from Maple and Finnick while we entered a room. I tried calling them, but they were too far away.

And then someone grabbed me.

It turned out to be Allie. But where was Devin?

"Luna!" Devin yelled quickly catching up with us. Allie grinned as he opened the door and her eyes flashed red. She wasn't Allie. Someone else abducted her. She forced me to drink something. Everything went very dark very quickly.

I fell and then Devin fell. Allie dragged both of us off somewhere and she laughed maniacally.

In my hazy and drunken state, I saw hallucinations. People were walking towards us. I screamed as something touched my shoulder. I got a massive headache and I screamed.

"Shut up!" Allie yelled at me as the compartment door opened. Maple pushed Allie from me and Finnick was helping Devin out.

Allie stopped attacking and she fell over.

"What just happened?" Maple asked.

"Someone abducted her." I answered as there was another gunshot and someone screamed. The train started moving again.

"Where are we going?" Devin asked.

"We'll find out when we get there." Finnick answered.

We were going faster than we've ever gone before and by now the headache was gone. I took a deep breath and sat up.

"Kids, we're in the Capitol." Dad said, entering.

"How? And where did Willow wander off to?" I asked.

"Willow jumped off the train when he had the chance." Dad said.

"He left us all to die?!" Maple exclaimed angrily.

"Well, yeah. Katniss made him. He was the only one who would've made it out safely." Dad said as we nodded.

This wasn't the direction I wanted to go in.

And then everything went black again. It was foggy, like someone was whispering in my ear. They were commanding me to do something. Speaking to my brain in such a soothing tone, that I couldn't help but obey.

Dad shut the door and as soon as he did, the voice grew stronger.

Attack, Luna. Finnick will like you more if you do.

On one hand, I was fully ready to spring at someone. But however, this was Finnick. I couldn't attack him.

"I'll be right back." I said gritting my teeth.

"Luna, what's wrong?" Maple asked.

"Nothing. I have a cramp." I said taking gasp-y breaths. I knew no one believed that card, but I had to get out of there!

No, no, NO! Attack him! He likes dominant women more!

I sat in the bathroom and sat on the toilet. This must be what happened to Allie. This was the voice that took her over. It was almost impossible to disobey this voice, but something in the back of my head was screaming at me to remain strong and fight it.

"Are you okay in there?" Maple asked knocking and poking her head in.

Don't say a word!

"Maple?" I asked as she nodded and came in. She sat on the edge of the counter.

"I need help." I said as my head throbbed.

"With what?" She asked.

"I can't-. I can't be near Finnick ever again." I said.

"What? What'd he do? Why?" Maple asked, very confused.

"The person that took over Allie's mind is in my head. And she wants me to attack him. You need to keep him away from me." I said.

"Luna, there's one thing that no one can take away from you. But you need to force whoever this is out. I can't keep Finnick occupied for long, so you need to pour your soul into getting rid of it. Or at least, numbing it." Maple said.

"Alright, go find Finnick and keep him away from me. I'll try to bargain my soul for this." I said as Maple left.

I'm never leaving you alone.

"I've been waiting for you. When you're ready to love me again." I sang, remembering the song that sparked something in my heart.

Nice try, but not enough.

"Time against us, miles between us, heavens cry; I know I left you speechless." I sang continuing on with the song and dancing a bit.

"Luna shut up!" Devin yelled as I sang louder.

I was running out of breath and it was getting exhausting.

"How are the attempts going?" Maple asked.

"Time against us, miles between us, heavens cry; I know I left you speechless." I sang for the 12th time. And then something clicked in my mind. And then darkness escaped. It was like seeing the world again.

"Are you okay?" Maple asked.

And then, I gave into the exhaustion. A new darkness appeared as I fell forward. Maple caught me and wrapped one of my arms around her neck.

"What happened?" Finnick demanded.

"I'll tell you later." Maple said dragging me off somewhere.

"Finnick can you get the door?" She grunted, stopping.

My knees wobbled.

"Maple?" I asked forcing my eyes open.

"Just rest now." Maple said making me go to sleep. I sighed and complied.
