"So what's the plan?" Johanna asked as they stood around on the beach.
"Well we need to stay alive." Finnick said and Johanna shoved him, knocking him into the sand. Suddenly an earsplitting scream tore through the air, it was calling for Katniss. Johanna turned to look at Katniss whose face went as pale as a ghost and her eyes wide.
"Prim!" Katniss screamed and ran into the jungle.
"Katniss no!" Finnick yelled, but Johanna beat him to it, she ran into the jungle after the girl.
"Katniss!" Johanna yelled as she crashed through the undergrowth. "It's not real Katniss." Suddenly Johanna stumbled into a clearing and she found Katniss standing there with her bow drawn, a dead Jabberjay lying on the ground a few feet from her. She loosed the other arrow and another bird thudded to the ground but the amount of birds was growing exponentially. Katniss was screaming as she reloaded her bow.
"Katniss stop." Johanna yelled, grabbing Katniss' arm and turned her sharply to look at her, panic on her face. Suddenly Johanna heard her own name screaming through the air, it was Katniss' voice. The sound sent chills down her spine but she kept her eyes locked with Katniss, reminding herself that the voice she heard was from the girl standing right in front of her and the girl wasn't speaking. Johanna watched as Katniss dropped to the ground curling up tightly, her hands over her ears. Johanna knelt down next to Katniss and curled around her clamping her own hands against Katniss' ears, she tilted the girl's head up slightly to make eye contact with her. "I am not leaving you Katniss. You are safe, so is Prim." That's how they stayed for the hour long raid of Jabberjays, Johanna reassuring Katniss that it wasn't real and Katniss curled into a ball crying. When it was finally over and the force field was down both girls collapsed onto the jungle floor, Katniss on top of Johanna, tears streaming down her face. Johanna wrapped her arms tightly around the younger girl.
"Thank you." Katniss said after a moment.
"Anytime brainless." Johanna said cupping Katniss' face, she ran her thumbs under the girl's eyes wiping away the tears.
"Katniss! Are you ok?" Peeta yelled running up to them. "We got stuck on the other side of the force field after Johanna ran after you." Katniss pulled away from Johanna and nodded up at Peeta as he helped her to her feet.
"I'll be ok, thanks to Johanna." Katniss smiled at Johanna as she stood up, Johanna walked over to Finnick.
"You alright?" Finnick asked whispering. Johanna kept walking till she was out of sight of the others, Finnick still following her. Once she deemed it was far enough away she started retching again, Finnick rubbing circles on her back.
"Fuck Finnick, you have no idea how bad that was." Johanna sobbed. "It was you and Katniss, over and over screaming for help, it was like they were killing her right in front of me, but she was in my arms she was fine. What the hell is wrong with them?" Johanna screamed looking around the jungle. "Huh Snow? What the fuck is wrong with you? You think you are so powerful, but once you spark a fire it becomes harder to put out. You can't put everyone in here for your sick pleasure." Finnick grabbed her shoulders jerking her from her rant.
"Jo, we have to stay focused." Finnick said and Johanna nodded.
"I just… I didn't have anyone before, Finnick…now…" Johanna looked over toward where Katniss was walking over to them.
"Well hopefully we can give you a nice fluffy future with her."
