CHAPTER 2
"I know we do, but I just can't it will just hurt her even more. She will join us, we hope, but we are not sure. So we best keep it a secret now shall we? Now go to your room and sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day." The second voice sounded drowsy and the person seemed drunk, most likely Haymitch. The footsteps went further and further away until not one sound came from the hall. I waited until I was sure Haymitch drunk himself to sleep, and quietly walked out of the room. I tiptoed down the hall to Finnick's room, and made sure no one behind me when I walked in. He lay peacefully on his bed, he wasn't asleep but rather was, staring at the ceiling and his gaze only did move to catch a glimpse at me before finding its beginning position.
"Couldn't sleep, huh?" He said, his gaze not leaving its mark.
"No, I've been having nightmares and I didn't want to get them again so I rather not." I said trying to find a way to get to my point.
Somehow Finnick was getting at where I going and started right on the topic.
"So, you must have overheard me and Haymitch talking earlier and want to know what all that was about don't you?"
I only nod in response. He scoots over to a side of his bed, and pats a spot on the bed telling me to sit. I graciously sit and Finnick starts on what I have yet to know.
"Look I know this will be hard for you but you got to understand. You know the capital has Peeta and that they are torturing him for information right? What you don't know is that, look this is hard for me but, unlike everybody else they are torturing Peeta more. They are lying to him and beating him to death. Katniss it is hard to tell but at the rate they are going he could be dead in days.
"No! They wouldn't, the capitol would notice if he got killed. They wouldn't kill him!" I screamed
"Quiet down they don't know you are here. Katniss the president has ways of making deaths look like accidents but, Katniss the main thing they are torturing him with is that they are telling him you are dead. Katniss you got to understand I feel your pain, they got Annie."
"Why don't we rescue them Finnick. We can do it and we can finally be happy to know that our loved ones are safe." I looked at his face, and it softened a little but went back to being hard.
"Katniss, you must be really tired go to bed what kind of idea is that. We will land in District 13 tomorrow now get some rest." His words burned through my skin, I felt enraged. Finnick didn't think it was possible, and wasn't even going to try to rescue them. I stood up and walked towards the door. Just as I was exiting I huffed under my breath. "You'll see Finnick you'll see I'll get them back, and you'll be speechless. I can do this, I can rescue them, I can rescue them all."
