After way too long without Katniss and many mental lapses, she finally returns. I take my tray of dinner into her room. The newest propo is airing tonight. It starts with Gale, Boggs, and Cressida talking about the hospital. Then the bombs start. Katniss buries her face in the pillow and looks up right at the end, to see herself on the screen.

"People should know that happened. And now they do," I say after seeing her reaction.

"Let's turn it off, Finnick, before they run it again," she tells me. I reach for the remote, but she interjects. I look up to the screen, it's Caesar Flickerman.

I make a decision that I have to be a people person.

"So, Finnick Odair, are you ready for these games?"

"Um, yeah, I guess. You never know what's coming until it gets there though."

"True, very true. Any one special back home?"

"No, not really. Many people think they are though!" I wink at the crowd and I know I have won people over.

"Good luck, Finnick." The buzzer rings and I go over at sit next to the other people.

And then it's Peeta. He doesn't look good. They start talking like it's just another day in the Capitol and everything is okay.

"What about the rumors? That Katniss, your wife, is making propos for the districts?" Caesar asks him.

"They're using her, obviously to whip up the rebels. I doubt she even really knows what's going on in the war. What's at stake," he answers.

"Is there anything you'd like to tell her?" Caesar asks.

"There is. Don't be a fool, Katniss. Think for yourself. They've turned you into a weapon that could be instrumental in the destruction of humanity. If you've got any real influence, use to it put the brakes on this thing. Use it to stop the war before it's too late. Ask yourself, do you really trust the people you're working with? Do you really know what's going on? And if you don't…find out," he says. Then it goes black. It's over. I turn the television off.

"We didn't see it," I tell her, grabbing her arms.

"What?" She's surprised.

"We didn't see Peeta. Only the propo on Eight. Then we turned the set off because the images upset you. Got it? Finish your dinner," I tell her. Plutarch and Fulvia come quickly as Katniss is stuffing her face.

"Gale looks great on camera. You really should use him more, the nice boy from 12, that has faced so much already," I tell them. "Oh, and congratulations, the propo was very moving!" They nod and smile along with me. Katniss says a couple words about how the propo turned out.

The next day, Katniss says that I'm allowed to go into the woods with her, of course, only if I want. I say it's fine and we head out. We both leave our communicators under a bush to talk about Peeta.

"I haven't heard one word about it. No one's told you anything?" I ask her. She shakes her head, no. "Not even Gale? Maybe he's trying to find a time to tell you privately."

"Maybe." After that, it's silent. Katniss shoots a buck that I go bring back to the fence.

Eventually, Katniss has to go back to 12 to shoot some more propos with Gale, leaving me alone. I don't really do much and no one bothers me. They just leave me to my room, bringing me food every so often when I should eat. One day, they brought me a little box that makes ocean noises. I'm sure the point of that other than to keep silence away. That wasn't too bad, I guess. It just kind of makes me want to go home more. Normally, after going to the Capitol, I'm promised the return home, to see the beach and the ocean, to see my family and friends, to walk the same paths I always walk. I'm not getting that again. But, Katniss comes back. It's like I depend on her now and I kind of do. She's the only other person here that I have a slight interest in talking to. Beetee offers to give me more lessons with the trident, but I turn them down, even though he sends an entry pass to my room. I find Katniss as soon as I can to tell her about the bit of news concerning today.

"Beetee thinks he's found a way to break into the feed nationwide so that our propos will air in the Capitol, too. He's down working on it in Special Defense now. There's live programming tonight. Snow's making an appearance or something. I think it's starting." The Capitol seal shows up. President Snow looks down upon us with Peeta next to him. I grab Katniss' hand, seeing her worry spread across her face. Peeta talks about why this needs to stop. I agree but we can't stop. We won't stop until this is finished, until no more Games take place, until we can run our own country.

"He did it! Beetee broke in!" Plutarch shouts when Katniss appears on the screen. It's not for long and we see Peeta, confused and trying to get back on track.

"Katniss," he says, "how do you think this will end? What will be left? No one is safe. Not in the Capitol. Not in the districts. And you…in Thirteen…dead by morning!" He says.

"End it!" Someone on screen sharply says. Beetee throws up another clip of Katniss, but it cuts back to the Capitol.

The camera is knocked down. The white floor is soon splattered with blood after a scream and stampede of boots.

Well, some of you may have been able to figure this out, but this story is not ending this week! I was seriously underestimating how much stuff happened in Mockingjay that Finnick is a part of and we haven't even gotten to the Annie reunion, the wedding, the mind blowing propo. I don't have another end date, but probably some time in mid-July. And just so everyone knows, next week I will be on vacation with no wifi, so no new chapters. Don't think I've abandoned this! I hope to get at least two more chapters up this week.

Thanks for reading and make sure to review! :)
