AN: So here's another chapter! We really like writing them so we hope you like reading them. Maybe we should've been working on our other stories, but we suddenly got an idea for this chapter and started writing some more Fincy for ya all ;)! Great to know that we're not the only ones who ship Fincy…

Chapter VI: Percy scared me… a lot

Finnick's P.O.V.

We were in the arena, but instead of paying attention to our surroundings I was still thinking about the kiss. It was awesome. And a little surprising, I didn't know that Percy was gay. He likes me! My eyes widened as I came to that conclusion, did I like him too?

My instinct told me to turn around, so I did. Percy was looking at the arena in awe. It was a cute look on him, I decided. I followed his lead and also looked around. It was a forest, and we were standing in a circle on the launching plates, in the middle of our circle was the Cornucopia. A circle of trees, making it look like a fortress, surrounded the two stories high horn.

"That's our goal." I whispered to Percy. "We quickly go there, grab the first thing we see, and run away." He nodded and moved forward.

My heart stopped for a moment in fear for his live. "No!" I lunged forwards to grab Percy who almost stepped of the plate. "Land mines." Percy paled and nodded in thanks. I tried to smile at him but I didn't really succeed, he could've died even before the games started. Only then did I notice that I hadn't released him yet and I did a step back in embarrassment, but then I was the one almost activating the land mines. Luckily Percy also had good reflexes and was able to pull me back.

"Watch out, the plate isn't made for two people." He pulled me closer so we were sort of hugging each other. "How long until we can move of the plates?"

As if to answer his question I heard a computer voice start counting. "10, 9, 8-"

"There's your answer." I grinned. "6, 5, 4-"

"Straight to the horn, and try to stay alive." Percy repeated. "2, 1, 0."

Somewhere left from me I heard a battle cry, but I didn't pay that any attention. Percy and I sprinted as fast as we could, it will only get dangerous if someone was faster than us. But someone was faster. The girl form district 12, I don't remember her name, but she was the first to get to the horn of plenty. She grabbed a spear and threw it into our direction.

"Percy, duck!" I shouted. He listened, probably not knowing why exactly he needed to duck, but saving his life in doing so. Was the girl bad at aiming, or did she see Percy? I needed to ask Percy if he remembered her from the training later.

Percy reached the Cornucopia before I did and found a sword lying somewhere in a pile of weapons. I almost got something too, but I got tackled from behind. My head hit the ground hard, which caused me to see black spots. When my vision cleared I couldn't see the one that attacked me. I quickly stood up and cursed myself for not avoiding it. Now I was one of the last to reach the horn, at least I wasn't dead yet.

"Come on, Finnick. Let's go." Percy ran up to me, he still had his sword, but now also a backpack. I wanted to protest, but he already started running. The boy from district 10 ran up to me, and Percy threw his sword into my hands. The boy also had a sword, but clearly didn't know how to handle it. I slashed at his right side. He blocked it, but didn't fight back. I hesitated, he wasn't a treat to us so did I really need to kill him?

That choice was taken away from me as someone else shot an arrow at his head. His body tilted forward and fell on me, I quickly pushed him away in panic. "Finnick, keep running!" I heard Percy yell from outside the tree circle. I got out of my daze and caught up with him. When I got there Percy's eyes widened and he pushed me out of the way. I fell on the ground again and rolled on my back to see what's going on. Percy stood there with an arrow imbedded in his upper arm. "Percy!" I shouted in worry. But then I had to roll over because of another arrow.

I looked up to see a boy from district 1 slowly walking my way with a bow. He was the one who killed the boy with the sword and shot Percy. Anger filled my body and I quickly stood up, just to fall onto my knees when another arrow got fired. I pushed myself up and ran straight at him with Percy's sword.

He dropped his bow and pulled out a knife. I sliced at his leg and his knife blocked it. Suddenly he had another knife in his other hand. He lunged for my shoulder but luckily I avoided it.

I took a step back before trying to stab him in the stomach. He used both his knives to protect himself and push my sword away. I got a little worried about if I was skilled enough with a sword to fight him. It was obvious that he was a career.

After that he attacked me with shocking speed and I did my best to block some of them, but it didn't matter. I was forced into defense and I was sure that I got gashes all over my body. I was panting hard and I felt that my clothes were wet; if it was from blood or sweat I didn't know.

The fight abruptly ended when an arrow got slammed into the boy's head. "I think this belongs to you." Someone muttered darkly. I looked up, sword ready to fight the next tribute off. It surprised me when I saw Percy standing there glaring at the boy, but there was also a sad glint in his eyes. I thought he was supposed to be lying somewhere on the ground screaming in pain because of his arm. But instead he probably saved my life.

Wait a moment… he got shot. My eyes shot to his arm, I grabbed it and inspected the wound. It was deep, but he was still alive, so not deep enough to kill him. It will kill him though if it doesn't stop bleeding.

"Are you okay?" He asked me in concern, his stance a little wobbly and his face looked pale. And still he was worried for me.

"We have to get out of here, now." I stated. Ignoring my own pain I scooped him up in my arms and ran away from the battle scene and even further into the woods.

"Wait, Finnick." Percy muttered weakly. I slowed down to a walking pace and looked down at him. "What is it?"

"Water… head east." And then he passed out. He just passed out, right? I held him closer to my ear and listened. He was still breathing. I have to get him to a water source, like he told me to.

So… which way is east? I frowned. Damn it, how did Percy even know that it was east? Then it hit me. His powers. He could tell where the water was because he sensed it. Now I just have to learn it too. I lay Percy down on the ground and sat down next to him while concentrating hard. I felt really stupid, sitting in the middle of the forest with a passed out demigod that almost no one could see, trying to find water just by closing my eyes and concentrating on something.

But it worked, after a while I felt something tingling inside my head that told me exactly where I should go. I opened my eyes carefully, hoping that the feeling wouldn't leave the moment I stopped concentrating. Luckily it stayed and I carried Percy to a river without any other problems. I walked into the water with him still in my arms, only stopping when I saw that his wound was heeling. And the water helped me too. My skin closed itself and I felt my energy returning. Although I still think it's a little strange that I didn't have these powers before, I won't complain since I only needed it now.

Percy groaned in my arms and I let loose, knowing that he wouldn't drown. With a yawn he opened his eyes and looked around sleepily. "Finnick? Do you heal in water or not?"

I shook my head in disbelieve and enveloped him in a hug. "Thank you for saving my life."

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing." He dismissed it casually when I let him go again. "I'm still alive…"

"But you could've died, I nearly thought that you died when you passed out!" Finnick protested, feeling tears gather in his eyes. He blinked them away. "And about that, don't you ever do that again."

"You mean passing out?" He asked me confused. "I don't really think I can control that…"

"No, letting your life depend on something that I maybe can do."

"What are you talking about, I told you to go east-" "And you didn't tell me which way that was!" I interrupted him.

His response wasn't what I was expecting; he burst into laughter.

"Don't laugh at me, I was worried to death!"

Percy tried to look serious when he saw my hurt look. "I'm sorry, Finnick. I just thought that you would be smart enough to look into the backpack."

My breath caught in my throat. "You've got to be kidding me…" I opened the backpack that was slung over my shoulder and the first thing I saw was a compass.
