A/N: Hello again! Told you I'd be back! Miss me yet? Haha just kidding! I'm assuming you guys read the last chapter if you are reading this now so thanks for the awesome response! Anyway, on with the story! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned The Hunger Games, Snow would be dead the moment Katniss stepped foot out of the first arena.
Katniss POV: "Finnick?" I asked again, finally coming to and seeing a worried Finnick O'Dair staring back at me.
"Hi, Katniss," he said. "Are you feeling alright? No head trauma or anything?" I shook my head at him. 'What happened to me?"
He furrowed his eyebrows at me. "What do you mean? Don't you remember?"
"Wait… remember what? What happened to me Finnick? Where are the others?" he sighed. "Okay, Katniss. Well… you were sitting with everyone at your campsite and Brutus and Enorbaria showed up and they wanted to kill you. But Peeta got in the fight and they knocked him out cold. Then they took you."
Peeta's name got my attention. "What?! They knocked him out? Is he alright? Finnick… please," I whispered, my voice breaking. "Please tell me he isn't…" I swallowed the lump in my throat that was refusing to go down. "Dead."
Finnick looked at me with a sorrowful expression as the tears started to flow down my cheeks at the thought of losing the only boy I'd ever loved. He put a hand on my shoulder in a comforting gesture. "I don't think he's dead, Katniss. The cannon hasn't sounded at all yet today. I wasn't there with you. I got it out of Brutus and Enorbaria after they knocked you out. I found you laying there about two hours ago and I brought you down to this beach so I could heal you. They ran off so I couldn't get them. They're still out there."
I nodded, my expression hard. If they hurt Peeta, I would hunt them down and kill them as slowly and painfully as I possibly could. Then I realized something. "Wait a minute… where's my bow? Did they take it?"
Finnick smiled softly. "No, they didn't Katniss. You left it at the campsite before they took you. You were apparently injured already and Peeta was taking care of you. So you didn't have them on."
I smiled at that. I remembered that part. I loved it when Peeta took care of me. He always took such good care too. Nobody had ever really cared that much since my father died and Peeta treated me like a princess. At night when I had nightmares, which I always did since the first Games, he ran into my room and woke me up, holding me, brushing away my tears with the tips of his fingers, and whispering to me that everything would be alright, that none of it would happen again, that he would never leave me and he would always protect me. And then he would climb in next to me and hold me all night, insuring that my nightmares were tarnished for the night. And with him there, knowing that he was there with me, took away any nightmare I had, because in all my nightmares, he was taken away from me somehow.
"Katniss do you want me to help you find them? Mags will too. She's here, just sleeping down the beach. She's an old woman, can't be awake as long as she used to be." Finnick laughed.
I smiled at him and nodded. He got up and helped me up too. "I'll go wake her and then we'll get going." He assured me. And as he turned away I called, "Finncik?" he turned back, raising his eyebrows at me. "Yes, Katniss?"
"Thank you," I whispered.
Prim POV (At the campsite): We all ran and sat around Peeta bustling quickly and trying to get him to wake up. I collected pine needles of the nearest tree. Maybe the scent of them would wake him up. Meanwhile Gale was sitting bawled on the floor with Madge comforting him. "I should've gone after Katniss. For all we know she could be dead."
"No," Madge argued. "The cannon would've sounded. She is alive. Right now we need to get Peeta awake and alert. Then we can find her." For the mayor's daughter, this girl was pretty smart.
I held the pine needle to his nose and he immediately sat up. The first thing he says is… "Where's Katniss?" well this would be fun to explain.
A/N: So what did you all think? How do you think the reunion will go? I'll probably update by Wednesday. Review! I love you guys!
