I know I don't usually update this quickly but I just wanted to get this chapter up as I love it! It is my favourite so far and when you read it you may realise how twisted that is as when I re-read this chapter I realised how dark it is.

The contest is still open so please guess though please do it by PM so as not to spoil it for others if you do figure it out!

Invasion

APOV
Why had Finnick suddenly acted so weird when I asked him about his powers. It wasn't like him. Most of the time I had known him he had been cocky and annoying, not fumbling and worried. Something strange was happening and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I was drawn out of my thoughts however by a large crash from downstairs and yelling that followed. In response I ran out into the corridor to see Johanna running down the stairs, panic evident in her movements. With adrenalin pumping through my veins I ran after her. My heart jumped into my throat as I saw the same man I had exiled from our house looming in the door way, soldiers behind him, and a gun held firmly in his hands. There was an evil glint on his face that hadn't been there this morning, not failing to mention the black army uniform he now dawned, adding to the fear factor in his appearance. Katniss, Peeta, Finnick and Johanna all stood rigid in the room, all looking poised to move at any moment.

"I see she decided to come and help herself rather than leaving the job to you four this time" The grey eyed man, who I still didn't know the name off, remarked, addressing the others but with his eyes focused on me.

"Annie get out of here" Peeta ordered through gritted teeth, not taking his eyes off the group of me in the draw way.

"Oh she's not going anywhere are you Cresta?" he replied, his white teeth glinting as he smiled. I began to back away. Hiding myself behind a large wooden cupboard.

And then, before my eyes, the room erupted.

Voices clouded my head as all the adrenalin fuelled thoughts of everyone in the room flooded my mind, making me bring my hands to my head in and effort to stop them. There was a flash and Johanna was replaced by a wolf, bearing it's sharp teeth as it lunged for the army. It was only then that I really took in the faces of the soldiers and what I saw made my blood run cold. Among many I didn't know I could clearly see the faces of people who I had already been hurt by. Marvel, Cato and Gloss where all there, fighting people that had become my friends.

Everything seemed to happen at once. Katniss was firing fire balls at Gale, most of which he dodged, some hitting his solider causing him to groan in pain as he patted out the flames on his clothing, others hitting his fellow soldiers. I was filled with a see of emotions when I saw one hit. Gloss had been buzzing around, it was nearly impossible to see where he was but when he was hit it became clear as a halo of flames followed him. The fire ball had hit square in the face, causing a blood curdling scream to echo through the building at his skin was burnt of his face and his brain was cooked as the heat caused his skull into a cooker. It was slowly becoming harder for me to see what was happening as I stood helplessly, for the second time in my life I was caught in conflict and once again didn't know what to do. Smoke kept filling the air and other projectiles were being launched at the group. I crept out slightly from my cover to see the source of these. Sure enough there was Peeta and Finnick with a catapult and box of what looked to be water balloons only it was obvious that was what was in them wasn't water. Peeta and Finnick seemed to notice something behind me and their eyes widened and their expressions harden but they didn't stray from their task. When I turned back and saw what they were looking at my heart stopped.

Katniss was lying on the floor, clutching her leg as blood leaked from a bullet wound while Gale, the only one not caught up in the carnage being caused behind him was taking aim at Johanna's wolf form. Seeing the bullet begin it's journey time seemed to slow down in front of my eyes, using all the strength I could muster I managed to curve the bullet so it went hurting into the man who released it's shoulder, making him fall to the ground.
"Annie get ready" I heard Katniss say only she didn't say it, it was her thought emerging from what had become a big blur in the heat of the battle. My eyes were immediately drawn to her a blast of fire escaped from her hand and launched in the wall next to her. The fire quickly began to spread. Almost instantly the tone of this battle changed. A red concoction was hurled at the group of soldiers, Johanna and Katniss covering there noses as it did, and action I copied. The soldiers were all frozen in the positions they had been before.

"Annie come on" Finnick cried, dragging me up by the hand, and pulling me out of the house which was quickly catching alight. Katniss and Peeta followed closely behind us, Katniss leaning on Peeta shoulder, unable to walk due to the bullet wound in her in leg. Seeing how much it hurt her to walk Peeta grabbed her under the legs and picked her up bridal style to where we were stood on the edge of the forest with the house burning in front of us. Usually Katniss would have protested to this but for once she didn't seem to, instead she simply buried her head into Peeta chest, I could vaguely see tears creeping out of her eyes.

Johanna came running behind them, obviously much quicker than the others. She changed back into her human form when she was safely next to me and Finnick.

Gale had betrayed me and everyone I fought for. He had been one of them, he had tried to kill me and my friends. Despite all this however I still found myself with tears falling from my eyes as I thought of him inside the building, burning along with the rest of them, unknowing off what was happening to him till the drug wore off. The thought alone made me bury my head deeper into Peeta's shirt. No one said anything as we watched our home. The pain in my leg seeming redundant compared to everything else.

"I'll go get the car then" Johanna stated as she walked off to go get the car from where it was parked far away from the house. As the drug began to wear off we hear screams echo from the house as our own kind and humans were burned alive. I heard Annie drop to the ground as this happened, obviously it was too much for her to take. It was quickly followed my the sound of Finnick helping her up and leading her away from the source of the screams, her sobs echoing loud and clear.

It was after this that I felt myself move as Peeta also walked away, setting me down on the ground away from the house and settling himself next to me.

"Katniss, it's over, he's gone" he soothed, sensing the reason for my sobs was Gale's betrayal.

"That's the point, he's gone and that's just it" I cried, pulling my knees up into my chest and crying into them.

"Come here" he beckoned, opening up his arms to me allowing me to crawl into his lap as his strong arms enveloped me. He didn't tell me everything would be okay or that there was nothing to worry about because he knew that wasn't the case. Instead he just allowed me to cry while he gently stroked my hair.

It hurt to see Annie in so much emotional pain. She was so gentle, never having to witness anything like what she had just seen.

"Annie calm down" I pleaded as I crouched in front of where she was perched on the rock. She shook her head, panic setting into her system. "Annie you need to breath slowly, your going into panic attack" I explained, grasping her shaking hands between my own.

"They came for me, people tried to kill you and everyone else because of me" she whispered as she shook with fear.

"We are meant to protect you, that is our job. Don't feel bad because we our doing our job" I reasoned, praying she would calm down. "Deep breathes, in" I commanded, luckily she followed my instructions and took a deep breath in. "And out" I added causing her to let the breath she had just taken in out. I got her to repeat this till her breathing settled at a normal rate. The tears didn't stop falling down her face. I released her hands and cupped her tear stained checks in my hands, wiping away the tears with my thumbs. "It will be okay" I told her, though I knew I was lying as I knew thing would only get worse. A lot worse.

So much drama! Please review and tell me what you think!
