One Week Later

I am beginning to think that this "Panem" isn't real. We've been walking for days, with no sign of the place. All I see now, keeping watch with Finnick as the others sleep, are dark trees that cast black shadows on the leaf-covered dirt ground. The cool night air surrounds me and my breath comes out with a puff of frigid steam. If we don't end up starving, we will freeze.

The pale moonlight reflects on Finnick's wistful face. Glancing up at the sky, the red-haired boy points at a particularly bright star in the heavens and whispers, "That one's Annie's. I named it for her when we were younger. I said as long as it shone we could be together." His eyes brim with tears, which he quickly wipes away. Looking down at the capacious, smooth rock we have settled on, Finnick whimpers softly, "I can't believe that anymore."

"We'll find Panem, Finnick. I promise you, we will. Just hold on until then, and you'll be able to see Annie again," I lie. Most likely, we'll die in the wilderness and never see civilized land again. I have a very positive outlook on our situation. His gaze lifting, Finnick's eyes fix on mine. Instead of the calm ocean waters that usually reside in Finnick's eyes, I see rough stormy waters. The tears in his eyes threaten to spill over. His breath quickens and he screams, "DON'T LIE TO ME!" His furious shouts wake up many of those who were sleeping on the hard ground. He rises from the rock's surface and storms angrily away from me, deep into the trees.

Blushing, I mumble, "I'll handle it," to the crowd and swiftly take off after Finnick.

"Finnick! Come back!" I yell. Sprinting farther into the forest, I look all around for him. After many minutes, I am completely lost in the dense, dark forest. "Finnick! Please! I'm sorry!" I shriek helplessly.

With the lack of reply I sink to the ground. My black tee shirt and dark jeans are little match for the freezing night air. The tattoo of a flaming branch on my arm provides no aid. Eventually I curl up on the cold, sodden ground and drift off into sleep.

Uriah stands next to me. We are in the Amity headquarters, panicking as we try to escape. Tall orange flames lick my skin. The wooden structure is burning as we sprint through the oak halls. The doors to the main entrance are locked, as are each of the windows. We are finally cornered by the flames when...

I am woken by the sound of heavy footsteps behind me. The sunset peaks out on the horizon, painting the sky various beautiful colors. Birds trill out soft calls.

Smiling warmly, I look in the direction of the footsteps. "Finn-! Who are you?" In place of the expected person is a tall, brown-haired man in a crisp white suit. He grins madly.

"Officer Sanders of the Capitol's Final Forces," he states confidently. I look curiously at the strange officer.

"Why are you here?" I ask irritably. In reply he procures a gun from his belt and aims it at my forehead. I pale and reach to my belt for my knife. I grasp air, momentarily forgetting how the Candor confiscated our weapons. Growling, I raise my hands into the air.


The guard herded me to where I am now. A small cell on a giant airship. A strange red insignia is on the side of the steel ship, but it is adorned with nothing else.

The cell is wholly made of steel, and the only differentiating factor is the one-way metal door. The ship moves so smoothly that I cannot even tell that we are moving

Finnick, Uriah, and two others are here with me. One is Abnegation. She wears a gray blouse and matching slacks. Her short black hair lies on her head dully. The other is Dauntless. Tattoos line her left arm. She wears a red t-shirt and black pants. Her black hair falls just below her shoulders.

"What are your names?" Uriah asks curiously. I look at the familiar sisters and answer.

"That's Jasmine. Jaz, for short. She's Danielle, but she goes by Dani. They were my friends when I was an Amity," I state. Dani smiles at me.

"We transferred together," Jaz says to Finnick and Uriah. Finnick is not paying much attention, though. His arms are around his knees and his eyes are squeezed shut. He rocks from side to side, like a tree on a windy night. Every few seconds he mutters, "The Capitol. The Capitol. We thought they were gone. Got to warn them."

While Uriah is talking with Jaz and Dani, I saunter over to Finnick and sit next to him. Gently shaking his shoulder, I attempt to wake him from his traumatized state. When he opens his muddled eyes, he places his hand on mine and looks at me. My heart flutters, but I don't know why.

"I'm so sorry, Kat. This is my fault. You... you were just trying to cheer me up. I'm sorry," He whispers to me. I wrap my arms around Finnick. As I release him from the embrace I grin sadly.

"Finnick, it's not your fault. And, it's okay. We'll figure it out," I say. Walking away, I see Uriah glaring at Finnick. I attempt to ignore Uriah's hostility as I plop down onto the ground in the cell and drift off to sleep.
