Sonya
My mom stopped in mid step and stared.
And stared.
Then her stare turned into a very scary glare.
Seconds went by and Finnick said awkwardly "Hi… Johanna."
Mom threw herself at him. She knocked him over and they sprawled on the ground. Mom hit him in the face and yelled "Why are you here! You're dead!" Her sharp finger nails raked his face. But Finnick just laid there, taking it, not fighting back.
Dad came over and managed to pull her off of him, she kicked and hit, but dad kept a solid grip on her. "You're dead! You died!" Tears spilled out of her brown eyes. I've never seen her like this before, so broken.
Finnick became very still "Jo, I'm sorry…"
Her body trembled of anger "You. Were. Alive?"
When he nodded that seemed to set her off again and she struggled against my dad's strong arms "Let me go! Let me go so I can strangle him!"
Just as I thought things were getting better.
They got worse.
A group of people walked into the house- The Mellark family.
Katniss and Peeta's faces mixed with shock, disbelief and a hint of anger. But thankfully they didn't lash out at Finnick, because there wouldn't be enough hands to drag them off of him.
Dad managed to calm down my mom and he led her into the guest room that they usually stay in. I could hear her yelling though. Daniel watched sadly as she got carried away, almost like he wanted her to stay and beat up her dad.
"Happy Birthday Daniel." Anastasia said meekly.
"Why don't you kids go out right now?" Annie said quietly
Daniel
"That didn't go well." Sonya said while kicking pebbles and sand by the beach.
Seriously? Now she decided to be her sarcastic self? We were all standing the ocean, the tide would fall to our ankles and go back in a matter of seconds. Anastasia was staring intently at the horizon. The sun beamed at her face, making her blue eyes look brighter and she absent mindedly bit her lip.
"I'm sorry." I apologized "I planned to take you guys out and show you around…"
Sonya shook her head "It's none of our faults. It's my moms."
Why would it be her mom's fault? It was our fault, how were we supposed to explain something like that on the phone?
Katniss and Finnick, - 3rd Person.
Johanna's loud noises of protest could be heard from outside Annie's house.
Trying to lite the mood Finnick said "Hi…"
Thankfully they took it better than Johanna, and Katniss drew Finnick in for an awkward hug then hit him upside the head "You should have come back." She said jokingly- but oh did she mean it.
Peeta and Annie left them alone, letting them talk to each other.
"Why didn't you come back?" Katniss croaked then blushed, embarrassed that she sounded so weak. In truth she missed him. Finnick helped her through some tough times like when Peeta was captured in the Capitol. He saved Peeta's life in the Quarter Quell. For that, so owed him so much.
He explained to her what happened- the mutts, the hospitals and the coma.
"I'm so sorry Finnick!" She said while digging her fingers into her palms "We should have stayed and tried to help you."
Finnick shook his head roughly "It's not your fault."
They sat down on the porch steps and stared out into the horizon, Katniss looked to the left and saw the children and smiled.
"You can't say anything because she will kill me, but my daughter likes your son."
The corners of Finnick's mouth twitched but then his face saddened "Daniel hates me."
This time Katniss shook her head roughly "It wasn't you fault. You were just trying to protect Annie."
The door busted open making Finnick and Katniss jumped.
Johanna slowly walked out of the house "I want to talk to you."

I have no idea if you guys will like this chapter (hopefully you did). I'm not used to writing in third person. It's way too short. But I felt bad not posting for a little while.
