It's fairly quiet on the hovercraft. It's dark so we cannot be seen by people on the ground. I could feel the rippling tension that filled the space around everyone. I was uncertain whether we would all survive this trip but I was going to do my very best to keep everyone alive. I had enough blood on my hands from the games. I realised suddenly that Finnick wasn't on board. I turned to Haymitch questioningly.
"Where's Finnick?" I asked quietly, so not to disturb the other soldiers.
"He had to stay behind. He's in the hospital with his rope, making knots and barely functioning. He's scared for Annie" he replied.
"Who's Annie?"
"The girl that Finnick loves, remember?. Snow got her, Sweetheart. Like he took Peeta from you."
I seethed with anger at Snow and felt pity and sympathy for Finnick. He was the one victor I trusted most, asides from Haymitch and Peeta. I made a silent mental promise to him to retrieve Annie to repay the debt I owed him for saving me.
Suddenly, the captains voice floated from the speakers overhead.
"We are 2 miles away from the last known location of Peeta Mellark. We will be landing in a few minutes so prepare yourselves."
I looked at the time and saw it was midnight. Plutarch's words came rushing back to me. "It starts at midnight" he had said, and he was right.
I started shaking with anticipation, nerves and excitement. I could only hope that I would have him back in my arms by sunrise.
"I'm coming, Peeta" I whispered, "Just hold on."
