Wow, the amount of postive feedback has been great! This chapter gets a lot stranger so be warned! Also I would just like to know people's views on Annie's mental state in the books, so please post your views.

I kept running till I got to the small café on the other side of the woods. It was nearly empty other than an elderly couple drinking tea. Cautiously, I walked in, all the time looking over my shoulder to check no one had followed me. I ordered a drink and sat down, my chest still heaving from running away from them. What did they want with me? I was just some pathetic lonely girl like I had always been, so why did Katniss suddenly need me to go with her? For all I knew she would be taking me to a mental asylum for crazies like me, people who heard voices in their head and thought they were moving objects around them.
She was probably still at the school telling people what a nutter I was. Johanna would be laughing and telling everyone she could. So would Finnick, Peeta would probably be calling Jane to tell her to not let me come home as I was a crazy and would ruin their family. Their family. It was just them. I was just a cuckoo who had been shoved into their nest after her parents died. They had tried to make me seem like I was part of the family. Peeta not calling her mum. Jane treating me like a daughter. Never mentioning my parents. No picture of them around the house to upset me. It had seemed for ages like I was really part of the family but I had been stupid and allowed myself to fall for the trick. I wasn't a Mellark, I never was and I would never be. I was a Cresta and a crazy one at that.
The door suddenly swung open and in burst a small dog, it's eyes gleaming. I looked around for it's owner, my hand clasping tighter around my mug as I did so. The dog didn't have an owner, it was on it's own like me. I reached my hand out to stroke the dog and it nusseled against my hand. My heart was touched by the sudden affection from this foreign dog. It then knocked it head to the side, gesturing to the door and then walking towards it. When I didn't follow it turned to stare at me till I did. I don't no why but I felt compelled to follow the dog. I guess it had something to do with the fact that we were both alone. In this world. God, I'm bonding with a strange dog. No wonder people call me crazy.
The dog lead me back into the forest to a small clearing. It was in a part of the forest I had never been in before. The air nipped at my arms making me pulled my jacket closer to my body, goosebumps forming up my arm.
"What is it boy?" I asked gently. Talking to the dog now, get a grip Annie.
The dog turned to look at me only now it didn't look friendly. It's brown eyes were flaming and scary. It's teeth were bearded and it looked ready to strick. There was something off about it's eyes thought, they didn't look like dogs eyes, no instead they looked like human eyes. Human eyes that I had seen before. Human eyes that I had seen taunting me. Clove's eyes. I took steps back away from this strange animal with Clove's eyes. But my leg caught a twig and I was sent tumbling to the ground. I tired to get up but it was no use, the dog was approaching faster than ever now, it's teeth bared and it's eyes shinning. I shield my face, sure that I was going to be attacked but the attack never came.
When I opened my eyes in front of me was a small brown wolf. It claws sharp and ready to attack. It lunged at the dog, biting it in the leg. It moaned in pain, limping backwards, before baring it's teeth and lunging forward. It was a flurry of hair, teeth and claws, impossible to see if anyone was winning.
With a last moan the ball broke apart and the small dog with Clove's eyes limped off into the dark woods. After neither me or the wolf could see her any more, the wolf turned to me. I was blinded by a sudden flash of light, causing me to throw my hands up to shield by eyes from the brightness. When it faded and the clearing was dark like it had been before I removed my hands from my face and saw the last thing I had expected to see, crouched on the ground in front of me breathing heavily.
"Johanna?" I asked, shocked by her sudden appearance. Her brown spiky hair was dishevelled as where her clothes.
"Your welcome" she replied, here breathing heavy and her chest heavy. My mind was spinning. What had just happened? One minute there was a wolf and now there was a human.
"What? How?" I stammered, no control over what I was saying and random words coming out of my mouth.
"Doesn't matter, we need to go" she told me quickly, standing up and starting walking away. When I didn't follow her she turned around and added. "Sorry did I say, if it pleases you" she asked, her face stern.
"I'm not going anywhere with you" I said, my voice wavering and my feet planted firmly into the ground.
"Annie.." she said slowly as she walked towards me.
"No!" I screamed, throwing my hands forward sending a massive push of air knocking her backwards onto the ground. I stood there looking between my hands and Johanna lying on the ground. How had I done that, one minute she had been standing there and the next she was lying on the ground.
I had no idea of what to do so I turned an ran for the second time that day. I knew trouble would follow me but I didn't know what to do.
Yeah, I told you it was werid
