The first thing Katniss registered in her mind was that someone was holding her. In a startled fit Katniss jumps whilst opening her eyes frantically to see a now wide awake Cato, his blue eyes startled and staring. She stops. Feeling her whole body freez as she recalls being that tired she let herself be this close to him. Her face blooms into a deep red and she finds herself being more angry than embarrassed.

She let herself get too close to him and anything could have happened, she needs to stay away. She knew she had to stay away, even if it was tempting it's wrong...Then why did it feel so right? Why did she not want to pull away? Katniss signs inaudibly and puts it down to the fact she was exhausted. She'll be more awear in the future though.

She moves away and out of his arms before he has time to say anything but instead looks at her questionably before saying "What the hell goes on in your mind?" Before giving out a light chuckle and rubbing the back of his neck before sitting up.

She doesn't know what to say and she knows it's only a joke but she's still angry so she shakes her head and says almost accusingly "How did you let me get that close to you?"

He seems taken aback slightly at this before sighing and saying dryly "You never retaliated?"

"No I didn't" she snaps back.

He flicnhes and moves an inch further away, she immediately regrets it, before he replies sharply "Why is it a problem? Can't you put trust in anyone or let anything go? Do you have to question everybody's actions? I was doing you a favour, at least be grateful"

Katniss takes in a sharp breath, her mind hitting reality and the whole senario suddenly seemed very Pety. It's like she was almost looking for an underlying reason as to why he would hold her almost like she wanted him to... She shouldn't have to question his actions, it's obvious if he didn't want her near him he wouldn't let her. She should know that from all the times he wanted to get away from her before or even during the games.

She shakes her head and says "Forget it. We have bigger problems to solve"

She looks around and sees most of the team has woken up and are suddenly alert to their 'disagreement' and she swears she saw a flash of hope in Gales eyes as he realised they were arguing, but the image is soon erased from her mind. Gale isn't like that and even if it was it doesn't really matter, he should know by now she only loves him as a friend and nothing more.

Jackson stands up, already on the scene and ready for action, whilst the rest of them slowly wake up, Finnick groaning pourpusly in a rude way whilst giving a smirk at Katniss as she pulls a face and throws one of the water bottles at him as a joke. He's always been one to break the silence with his crude humour.

Cressida speaks up then and says "Have we thought about a route plan? Pollux you know the underground, yes?" Pollux nods at her answer as she continues "Alright then, perfect, we'll travel underground and enter the subways until we reach the centre of the Capital"

Pollux nods understandingly, Cressida then turns her attention to Katniss whilst asking "Katniss, can you please show us the pod locations underground on the hollow?'

Katniss looks up and walks over to where the holo rested by Cato from where they were sleeping and he passes it to her. At first she didn't have a clue how to use it but she's starting to get the hang of it now and clicks on all the different locations of pods before selections the correct one and handing it to Cressida.

"Thanks" she says whilst putting the holo in the middle of their circle and going on about different rules and routes they could take to avoid the most deadliest of pods. But of course there were new ones each day so they couldn't be sure any route would be clear.

It's not long after until there leaving the small apartment and heading to the streets of the capital. Most of the capital is barren now the streets are nothing but reminders of the once extravagant buildings and designs that are left to look at.

It's not long before they all reach the subways and have thankfully only come across one pod on the way that wasn't anything like what they've just been through. The whole journey is tiring and Jackson is currently in lead even though Pollux is now the one telling them most of the way his brother translating in return.

Katniss sometimes gets wrapped up in thinking about Tommy and how he's doing, weather or not Prim is looking after him and playing toys with him or it's her mother. She wonders if he will look different when she comes back, or if she does and she just hopes that he'll have at least one parent to go back to him, he doesn't deserve everything that's happened. He's worth more than that and certainly more than anything else (except prim who's on the same level) in the world to her.

The undergrounds are clean and spacious the whole place echoes as their footsteps bounce of the walls and back again. But it isn't long before their echoes of feet are replaced by something else the once patting is now overheard by a long drone of metal scraping upon metal which can only mean one thing. Train.

The whole team suddenly froze Katniss hears Cressidas voice raised above the others as she shouts "get covered and don't let any Camerors see you!"

They all rush behind a wall fortunately being covered from most passengers that would see and wait until the whole verchal passes on. It isn't long and soon they are asking Pollux if he knows any alternative routes, he said he knows the sewers even if it isn't the most hygienic there is probubly less pods down there than anywhere else.

The whole team make their way down an old route he knew from once being an avox and he was forced to work down there until, Castor, his only brother and remaining family, managed to bail him out.

The whole place has a cramped feeling to it and Katniss finds herself having to hold her nose due to the smell so she wouldn't choke. The Capitol isn't so glamourous down here, all those times she'd joked there sweres were probubly coated in glitter no longer seemed as funny.

She looked over at Finnick who seemed rather disgusted at the sight and was constantly checking his legs and going eww at every step he took. She rolled her eyes at his 'pretty boy' behaviour.

The ground was sludgy and Katnjss found it hard to walk though the thick waste, she walked along the narrow passageway and she believes Pollux spent a whole three years under here, it must have been so lonely, she shivered at the thought. Having been trapped in her own thoughts she finds herself slipping backwards her hands scraping onto the walls for something to old onto when her hands fall back into a pair of arms and her back up against someone else's, she turns and sees it's Cato.

He's smirking like its a joke and this only makes her cheeks go red and for her to cross her arms in sheer embarrassment whilst giving him daggers for even smirking. Then again Finnicks distant laughs filled her and she stomped on his foot under the thick sludge, as he was infront of her, making him grab his foot to onlt result in him gettinf fhe waste on his hand. now it was her cue to laugh.

The three laughed for a few minutes whilst the others looked at them like they were crazy, (which was probubly true) though it wasn't long before they were carrying on there journey. Every few yards Katniss would check for pods that are near and it wasn't until they were further into the tunnel they stumbled across one.

They came to a tunnel where they had to crawl through, katniss going first and then the others whilst Jackson kept watch. The last thing Katniss registers is crawling through and hearing the most chilling screams and cries, before she knows it she sees Jackson pushed to the ground by some sort of mutation and Cato grabbing her arms.

Cato screams behind her to run whilst the others behind defend, bullets ricochet against the walls and Katniss' ears burn with all the noise, they make there way through to an area in the tunnel where there's an opening.

Katniss was just about the start climbing the ladder when she feels her leg gripped onto and small sharp teeth prick her skin, she turns around to see one of the mutations, in an instant she draws back her bow and shoots it in the head. More seem to come though, she stabbes one as she's pulled under the murky waters and manages to strangle one with her bow, all the time looking for Cato who seems to be doing the same thing.

But her attention let her off guard, she feels their slimy fingers drag her down under the water and takes in gulps of it as they do. She feels herself chocking, just about ready to give up the fight Katniss feels a pair of hands lift the weight of the creatures off of her.

Its Finnick.

Hes now his true self, how he was in the arena, no pretend 'play boy'. He swings his trident and knocks them down and Katniss is too busy watching she doesn't notice frantic hands grab her forcing her to climb the ladder. She turns and sees Cato above with the others, it was just her and Finnick left under there then.

She watches as Finnick slays everyone of those things, but his trident is knocked out of his hands and falls miserably under the depths. He grabs a knife from his boot and stabs one that is too close, by now Katniss is screaming for him to just climb the ladder.

But he can't hear her, he gets dragged down, their slimy hands pulling him under, she's sees him thrash against them the water going everywhere.

But then she hears his screams the repetitiveness as he says "KATNISS!" Over and over again each one more desperate more wanting her help.

She feels the need to jump in and go and rescue him, but a hand pulls her back and Cato says to her "you can't help him now Katniss, walk away before it haunts you any longer"

She turns around sharply anger reverberating through her as she yells at him "Is that what you did in all the games? Is that what you'll do to me? Whilst you weren't there Finnick was don't forget that Cato, or i'll walk away before you can haunt me any longer"

He's just about to argue back but Katniss is too focused on making her next decision. Her mind fixated on what to do, she finds herself shaking and her mind bombarded with questions on what to do.

Should she go in after him, or should she end it all quickly now and end his suffering?

Her thoughts have to be quick though because soon she won't be able to have a choice.

Sorry this is so short and it's been a long time, I've been trying to plan this as best as I could really because I want you guys to decide! Looks like Katniss won't have a choice anyway, so should she go in after him? Should he survive or die if she does? Or should Katniss die? That's a joke, this would be ruined if she did 😂, or should she do what she did in the movie? I kinda wanna change this up a bit because it would be more interesting and not just based of the movie so idk, it's up to you guys!

But seriously it's been so long, is anyone here looking forward to Christmas? I know I am, ps: I'm going to post on Christmas Day or the day after, and it's going to be dramatic so consider it a Christmas present from me!

Cant wait to hear all your responses! - Ella 😜
