"Nice little place you got here Katniss." he says remotely, studying the barren walls intently.
"Hey Finnick and thanks, it's quite cozy isn't it?" I remark sarcastically which makes him smile.
Finnick has also been in the hospital like me since we were rescued from the arena. He's been under the same medication that the other victors that were saved and I have been put on, morphine. Morphine really does numb all of the pain but I've been cut off from it slowly so my routine nightmares are resurfacing once again.
"I heard all the commotion in your room while I was taking a walk and I came by to make sure you weren't dead." he said as he sat down on the empty bed beside me.
"Well, I'm not dead, not yet that is. Thanks for checking in on me Finnick." I say.
"No problem Katniss. Anyways, want to go take a walk with me?" he asks with his arm outstretched, hand open. I grab his hand unsurely. I haven't been out of my drab hospital room in weeks.
We walk out of the hospital unit and find ourselves lost but we keep walking anyways. At first we're both silent walking slowly down the empty corridors. Then we pick up a light conversation on what we hope happens in the future. Finnick explains that all he really wants is that the Capitol be blown to pieces and that he can have Annie back, the love of his life. I immediately think of Peeta and how desperately I want him back here, safe and sound. Silence follows after Finnick finishes.
"So…what about you Katniss?" he asks trying to break the silence.
I begin to explain how I want to kill Snow personally, rescue Peeta from the Capitol, and also see the Capitol's downfall at the hands of the rebels. But after I finish I feel the need to tell him about my dream…how vivid it was. I debate on whether or not to tell him and finally settle that I might as well tell him why everyone was worried about me in the first place. So I begin to tell him the whole entire dream from beginning to end, the mutts attacking, his death, Peeta, Gale, me not being able to move. He remains silent until I finish and leans in to me and whispers, "I think you may be going nuts, Katniss."
I know he's kidding by the way he smiles after he the words leave his lips, I laugh for the first time in a long time. But my few moments of happiness are interrupted by an ear-splitting alarm going off. The PA system begins to shout out orders:
"SOLDIER EVERDEEN, SOLDIER ODAIR, AND SOLDIER HAWTHORNE ARE TO REPORT TO COMMAND STRAIGHT AWAY."
