Peeta and I had just arrived in the capitol to participate in the 75th hunger games.
It was horrible.
I just couldn't imagine having to be in the games again, and the worst part was that this time one of us had to die.
That's what I was most worr...

We went out of the room, confused about what was happening.
Suddenly Gale headed to us.
"You have to come back, you haven't barely eaten anything!" He seemed worried
"It doesn't matters... We're not going back, it's just so stressful", I sighed, Why do you think they've said that?"
"What, calling them traitors?" Gale was being sarcatistic and that got on my nerves like crazy
"No, calling the Ceasfire!" I replied coldly
Gale shook his shoulders, not knowing the answer.
"Snow wants to impede the rebels from fighting against the capitol and he's using Peeta and Johanna for it.", Finnick said, "He's probably torturing them, It's just terrible"
He looked straight to my eyes and his gaze became firm.
"We need to save them at all cost, Katniss, you have to be the Mockingjay. You have to do it for Peeta and Johanna!"
His eyes were full of tears, as if tons of tears were waiting to roll thorugh his white cheeks, and I just felt terrible for it and for everything that was going on. I just felt guilty for everything and I felt like nothing would stop this sensation.
"I'm so sorry for everything! It's all my fault! If I had died in my first games this wouldn't be happening, I had the chance to be a hero and I didn't took it, and now Peeta and Johanna are in danger because of me. "
"Hey don't say that, If you had died we wouldn't have any chance to fight the capitol. You are a hero Katniss! You started this whole thing and now maybe we have a chance to be finally free, but for that you have to be the Mockingjay!" Finnick said, caressing my chin.
I smiled and leand my lips on his, forming a slow yet passionat kiss.
"I don't want to interrupt anything. I'm going." Gale speaked, bitting our heads off and for a moment I could feel jealusy running thorugh his veins.
He headed out the room in a furious manner, leaving us alone.
"Looks like someone had been crushing on you." Finnick smirked, clearly flirting.
"You're such an A- hole!" I laughed and he laughed back.
After some time, we sat down in nearby bench and remained silent for a while.
"I'm going to do it!" I said, breaking the silence.
Finnick smiled brightly. "See how you are a hero!"
I chuckled and he leaned his lips to mines, but when they were going to touch each other, an announcement started to sound.
"Lights will be off in 30 minutes, please head to your rooms and prepare to sleep!"
"Gosh they really have us like soldiers here!" I complained.
I smiled and then sighed. "No, I'm not, I'm only the face of the revolution."
"For me, you are the greatest hero here. More than all of the leaders." He sweetly said.
I started to feel a lot of pressure on me and worried about not fulfilling the expectations that people had on me. They really thought I could help them, but in reality I couldn't even help myself.
"Finnick, Look, I'm not a hero and I will never be. I can't even help myself overcome my feeling of guilt and my fear of failure. I just want to help my friends not to die and the rebels to put the capitol in its place, but that doesn't makes me a hero at all."
Finnick stood up sighing and handed my his hand. I took it and we made our way to our rooms in total silence.
When we arrived there he looked at me and said: "And by the way you Are a hero, you just still can't see it now."
He entered the room and closed the door behind him. It was obvious that he didn't wanted to give up his idea and was angry at me for not thinking the same and for doubting my abilities.
I went into the bed and closed my eyes. Soon I started to see images of my dreams and relaxed myself.
Promptly I had a nightmare. My whole dream turned black and despite I was with Finnick I felt something bad was going to happen.
And it happened: President Snow appeared from behind him and put a knife in his neck.
A big sensation of anxiety started to invade my body and I started to sweat. I turned around, trying to get rid of my dream but it only got worse. Snow stuck the knife in Finnick's neck and killed him.
I started to cry and shout as crazy as I saw his blood all around my dream, it was even rolling down my hands.
I shouted as loud as I could in order to get rid of my terrible nightmare and like a miracle, Finnick's voice waked me up.
"Nightmares?" He asked.
I nodded my head in affirmation, still scared. He grinned and leaned to the door in order to leave me alone.
"Wait, can you stay with me?" I asked.
He entered in my bed and hugged me.
"Always!" He softly said.
We remained silent for some time. "What was your nightmare?" He finally asked.
"Snow killed you and I couldn't do anything about it." I said, sighing, "I just wish I could be the hero everyone wants me to be...."
Finnick started caressing my head slowly "Don't worry, you are, you are." He whispered
I closed my eyes at the sound of his warm voice and just before falling asleep, I felt him giving me a kiss in my forehead.
"Good morning babe!" Said Finnick, waking me up.
I looked at the watch of my room with sleepy eyes and realized it was nine o clock
That meant we had only an hour to have breakfast. District 13 worked as some kind of hotel, or better said a military base.
We had three hours to have breakfast and an hour to have lunch and dinner and if you didn't came in the right hour, you didn't ate at all.
"C'mon love, let's go!" Finnick said.
I yawned and went out of the bed. He went out of the room and we changed into our day clothes.
Some time later I opened my door and we headed to the dinning room together.
"Thank you for coming over last night!" I said.
"It was a pleasure!" He smiled warmly
"Are you still mad?" I asked.
"Do you think you're a hero?"
"Yeah..." I said.
"Then No!" He flirted and gave me his hand.
"Nice!" I said and looked into his beautiful eyes.
He looked at me too and we remained looking at each other with opened lips until I affectionatly hit his butt.
"Hey!" He laughed, and leaned over me in order to kiss me.
