I'm sorry I don't update every couple of days, I am been really busy and stressing and yea. I'm sorry, it is really hard to update every day or two haah. Enjoy though.
"No! Not without Peeta," I say falling to the ground covering my eyes from his lifeless body. I feel a grab on me, it is Finnick carrying me away from him by my own will. I would have rather died than Peeta. I scream his name while the group and I make our way to the flaw back in the wall. My screams echo and I am sure to be the one that will give us away, "Peeta!" His is gone from my sight, I see nothing but trees and brush. I slump on Finnick's back as he carries me letting out muffled cries. He puts me down and examines our escape hole. I notice a bush of nightlock nearby and snicker, picking a few as a small keep sake and desperate attempt to make a joke of misfortune.
"Crap." I look up and see Peacekeepers armed and guarding it. I wipe my tears and in all my fiery rage, dropped countless arrows like a machine into their empty skeletons and watched them fall like the puppets they were. I look at Finnick and the group who is stunned but takes it as a sign to move forward. This is our mission. To kill snow and stop the Games.
We run out, spilling the halls, and escape into the streets knowing exactly where the President resides. The house is guarded today, "This is for you, Mockingjay," said the Liam. Before I could reach out to stop him, he ran in the heart of the gate killing all three peace keepers while killing himself in the process. How could someone we barley know risk their lives for us? Then it hit me, we did the same for them. We carry on running into the gate and in the house.
"We have to split up, he is probably hiding. I'll go left, Katniss go up stairs, you to take the other ways," Finnick whispers. It suddenly hits me and I become frantic
"I'm not leaving you!"
"Katniss, trust me."
"What if you- I need you."
"We are all a team, love." I choke up and look to the floor crying; trying to get over the fact that he could die any second,
"Oh just-" I look up seeing I am alone. Just call my name. The stairs look daunting but I make my way up them, the halls are empty. Everything is empty and quiet and I hate being alone. I see a peacekeeper walking in the distance and shoot him silently, retrieving my arrow and moving forward. I can hear laughter at the end of the hall and from what I remember, laughter at the end of a hall is a bad sign. I pace forward slowly hearing the voices echo
"You would've been victor for sure, what a show."
"Oh how dramatic it was seeing her love die... She has to know it was you. You were the only one left." It struck me like lightning. Gale. Gale killed- murdered Peeta. My eyes spilled waterfalls and I began to ready my bow in full anger as I busted in the open frame at the end of the hallway.
"Where is he?," I say scanning the room looking for his brown fake eyes, "Where the fuck is he," my bow quivers as I scan for my target and then I see him, eyes wide and shocked. I was just about to left it fly perfectly into his chest when the arrow was aimed into a wall by the force of two peacekeepers restraining me and making me miss. Gale looked less in danger and smirked, "How could you?"
I see Snow snickering in the corner as a feel a jab and my vision is going blurry. My last thought was Gale and how he betrayed me. betrayed everyone we love and was working with President Snow all along, "All part of the plan," an icy voice sighs as it turns black.
I wake up and my first word is Finnick's name. I yell it as loud as I could and then realize where I am. Tied behind my back I am sitting exposed in some gaudy bed. I look up and see Gale with gold clothing, "What have you done?"
"Nothing yet," he steps forward holding my shoulders as he pushes my figure into the bed. I just stare in shock and whisper out Finnick's name, he smirks, "Katnip."
