Sorry this chapter took so long but my internet has been a pain so I couldn't get online to upload this. I have had it written for a while though so expect the next chapter very soon.
The contest is still open. Just PM with the reason that you think Finnick is acting werid and I will give you 2 extracts of any future event. This chapter dosn't have any clues I don't think other than the last paragraph.

"We're here" Johanna said, breaking the silence that had hung in the car for the whole of the hour journey. It seemed impossible for a group of five people to stay silent for that long but unfortunately we managed it. It had almost seemed like time had stopped in the hour. All the movement that had occurred could be boiled down to a few points. Johanna sticking her middle finger at the driver in front for suddenly breaking. Peeta cleaning and bandaging the wound on Katniss's leg, the bullet being embedded to deep to remove. And that was it. Nothing was right.
"Where are we?" I asked, lifting my head from the window that it had been resting on. The building in front of us was formidable, it had ominous blacked out windows and a greyish tone that made me want to run back to the embers of our old home.
"The military base" Finnick explained as he climbed out of the front seat. Seeing that everyone else was I copied this action, clambering out of the car and onto the asphalt beneath us. Katniss was limping towards the building with the help of Johanna, who was followed by Finnick.
"You coming Annie?" Peeta asked, when I didn't move from my spot. I nodded, still in shock from the sight of the building we were heading towards. The guards on the door didn't flinch as we walked past them, in fact they just opened the door with questioning looks on their faces, one pulling his radio up to his mouth to speak into.
Commotion erupted as we walked in, with everyone stopping to look at us. Though my eyes were draw to a red haired woman with a similar complexion to Jo.
"What happened?" she demanded, her eyes scanning all of us.
"I will explain in a minute Lily" Jo replied. The woman who I now thought to be Lily looked at her strangely but after Jo's eyes shifted in my direction that look quickly faded.
"Of course, get Katniss down to medical. Finnick and Peeta with me. Lucy would you find Annie a room" Lily ordered, seeming quite sure in what see wanted done. Johanna quickly following the command and Lily herself heading straight off afterwards with Peeta and Finnick on her heels leaving me with the previously mentioned Lucy. She was a young girl no much older than myself with dark brown eyes and long black hair.
"This way" she explained, heading off down on of the long corridors with me closely behind her.
"66, 66," she muttered, as her eyes glazed over the numbers on the rooms. "Here we are!" she then exclaimed when we reached a door with the silver number 66 on the door. She pushed open the door to reveal a bare room with a small bed, dresser, mirror and a chair. There were no decorations in the room. It seemed like it hadn't been touched for years. "Bathrooms are down the hall and there are some leisure items in the top dresser draw if you need something to do. Will that be all?" she asked, not having moved from the door way. I nodded causing her to hurry off down the hall. I stayed stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, unsure of what to do with myself. My eyes glanced down to the necklace that hung around my neck. It was a simple green emerald on a chain. It had been given to me by Jane when I was eight, she had said it was my mothers. That statement had meant a lot to me then but knowing all that I did now it seemed to diminish the meaning. All it meant was that my mother felt guilty for abandoning me and decided to give me an old trinket. However I couldn't take it off. I instead felt compelled to leave it around my neck, I for some reason didn't want to part with it, despite it origin being terrible.

"Then we came here" Johanna finished, the whole story of the last few hours now out in the open.
"And you're sure you weren't followed?" Lily asked for the millionth time, running her hand over her face with frustration.
"Positive" Jo replied. Johanna, Peeta and I had been sat here for a while now, explaining our story to Lily. Katniss still being in the hospital wing having the bullet dug out of her leg.
"What are we going to do?" I asked, curious as to what her next move would be and praying it wouldn't involve putting me and Annie in a combat situation together again. That would end badly, again.
"I honestly don't know, we can't attack them as that would start a full scale war" Lily sighed, leaning back in her chair.
"I say we address the issue of how they found us in the first place" Johanna interjected, making a perfectly well reasoned point that had crossed all our mind at some point.
"Easy, Gale" Peeta pointed out like it really was that simple.
"Okay smart arse then how did Gale find us?" Johanna added, clearing getting frustrated.
"I think I can help with that" a voice from behind us echoed. We all turned to see a man with a shaved head and glasses standing in the door way.
"What is it Beetee?" Lily asked, eager to know.
"We got this image from our surveillance of the incident at the safe house" he explained, passing Lily a picture. Seeing it all the life faded from her expression and her head fell to her hands. Johanna took it from her hands, looked at it then passed it a cross the table to me.
"Damn" I sighed, seeing the red haired girl in the image. A girl we all hoped we wouldn't have to see turn to them. I quickly passed it to Peeta who swore under his breath upon seeing the image. Of course we all knew who that girl was. It had been major new among us when see was born. 'The ultimate' people had called her. Hope Summers. The one blessed with the power to kill millions of innocents. Her host of power were higher ranked than even Sophia's. Telepathy, telekinesis were both dangerous on there own, together they were even more but Annie had those and more so this would only put her second. Though when you included her other powers it made her shoot of the scale. Mimicry. The most dangerous of all. The power that meant you could gain the power anyone near you.
"She tracked us didn't she" I asked, hoping for a different answer to what I knew to be true.
"Once you get a mental trace on someone you have them for as long as you want" Lily replied, her voice empty of hope.
"That means they know where we are now" Peeta pointed out, though we all already knew this. Knew that they were coming. That they were coming and we were going to have to use our powers to fight their new weapon. No matter what the personal cost.
