"To be perfectly honset Annie, we don't know" Katniss explained, trying to hide to sadness from her voice. There was something she wasn't telling me, something she wasn't telling anyone.
"Is Clove one of them?" I asked, the image of her eyes in the dog flashing into my eyes and making sense for the first time.
"Clove?" Johanna asked, confused as to where I had got that name from.
"Yeah, I saw her eyes in the dog you were fighting" I elborated, Johanna's eyes lighting up the more I said.
"That bitch" she swore under her breath, clearly Johanna hadn't known about Clove before now.
"We need to be wary of her friends to then, it could be any one of them as well" Finnick added, a deep sense of concern present in his voice.
"Annie, how about I show you your room, you look tired" Katniss inturputed, standing up and walking towards the stairs, gesturing for me to follow her.
"My room?" I asked confused, why would I need a room. I was going home right?
"Yeah, come on" Katniss ushered me up the stairs and led me to a small room with a bed and dresser. In the corner was a bookshelf and some night clothes had been layed out on the bed.
"Night" Katniss said, before closing the door behind her.

I felt a pang of sadness for her as I left her in her room. What we were doing wasn't right and to make matteres worse it was the girls own mother of insisted that this had to happen, just because some crazy old woman says so. When I got to the top of the stairs I could hear the beginning of an arguement in the living room.
"Why are we even doing this? We know what will happen" Johanna was yelling as I walked down the stairs. When I got into the room Johanna had proped herself up fully on the sofa and was yelling at Peeta and Finnick, Finnick was yelling back at her while Peeta was sat in the chair with his head in his hands.
"It doesn't mean we can just stop, you know what Sophia would do to use if we gave up now. And look at her, we can't leave her to fend for herself, she won't last anywhere if it's not them it will be someone else" Finnick reasoned, his voice well above it's normal level.
"You don't think I know that? I'm not saying we give up, I'm saying we fullfil our job sooner, and we all know why you care so much and it has nothing to do with this damn job" Johanna snapped back.
"Right you two stop it" I shouted, barging in between the two parties, shoving them backwards with two blasts.
"I would have sat down if you had asked" Finnick complained, rubbing his back in mild pain.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically. I knew he wouldn't have. When it came to the morals of what we were doing Finnick would never shut up.
"We all know what's going to happened and there nothing we can do about it" I told them both in a stern tone. My words precceded a small sob coming from Peeta, whose face was still hidden in his hands.
I walked over and crouched down infront of him, gently rubbing my hand over his hair.
"Peeta, I know it's hard but right now the event you are thinking over will come alot sooner if we don't work out who the treats are" I reasoned, my voice soft. None of us could bring ourselves to say the words that summed up what was going to happen. It hurt to see him cry for some reason, though I had no idea why given I was no closer to him that I was Finnick I could see him hurt, and had. But with Peeta it for different for some reason that was past me.
"You're right" he said, pulling his head from his hands, running his hand as his did so in attempt to get rid of traces of his crying.
"Right, so potinal enimies" Johana began, the mitartist side in her coming out stronger than ever. As much as she hated her sister she was alot like her, though the bitterness from the fight coming through in every word.
"There's Clove" Finnick chipped in, Johanna swore again at her name. We all knew though why Johanna's hate for Clove was strong and it had little to do with the fact Clove had attacked her.
"Come to speak of it, how did Clove find out?" Peeta asked, staring straight at me as I was the first person Annie had said anything to.
"Glimmer" I muttered quietly, rembering the flash of blond hair at the window.
"That mean Cashmere and Gloss may also be a threat" Johanna explained.
"But all this means nothing if we don't know what they can do, all we know it Clove can turn into a dog" Finnick added, all of our hopes falling at this.
"There's not much we can do is there?" Peeta told us sadly, we all knew the answer to that question.
"We can't but Sophia might" I added, my tone hopfull.
"But she won't come near Annie" Johanna told me like I was stupid.
"One of us can meet with her without Annie, simple" I explained, like it was really that simple when we all knew it wasn't.
"Yeah, but which one of us?" Johanna responed, looking around the room at the three of us.
"I will" Peeta volunteered.
"Why you? Because, no offense, but you're human" Johanna asked, obviously she had taken complete control of the coversation now.
"I may not be a blessed but what I can make can easily replecate your powers and more so don't go down that road Jo, you will lose. Also I am her nephew, that's got to count for something" when he finished Johanna was noddding in agreement, seeming to have accepted that if any of us could get Sophia's help it would be Peeta.
"How will you see her though?" Finnick asked, pointed out the major hole in our plan.
"Nephew" he said pointing to himself, "My mum has a spare key and I am pretty much allowed in whenever I want" he was smiling like an idoit when he finished, obviously pround of himself.
"Ok, it's settled. I'm off to bed now though how I will sleep with this on, I don't know" Johanna muttered as she stood up carefully and headed up the stairs, the rest of us not far behind.
