Chapter Seventy Six
KATNISS'S POV
"You can't keep me here Corex! This is insane! I can go help him!" I say, banging my fists on his broad chest. Willow looks from the stairway as I have my mini meltdown. "Mommy?" Corex grabs my wrists. "Katniss get a hold of yourself for god sakes! You're acting ridiculous!" "He doesn't know what he's dealing with! They'll kill him!" "Stand down Private." He pokes my arm. "That's a order."
This asshole did not just call me private. "Excuse me?" Haymitch walks through the back door and grabs me quickly. "Sweetheart, relax." I do for Haymitch. "They were Peeta's orders, Corex is just following orders." "Hell Katniss I would be letting you go if he didn't say anything but honestly that would be god damn suicide." I look at Haymitch and grab at his shirt. "Haymitch, you have to let me go, I can't loose him again. If they get to him God only knows what they would do."
I look him dead in the eye. "I'm not going to loose him like I did in the arena." Haymitch's eyes stay glued to me. "We're still in the games Haymitch, there's no way of getting out... I have to finish this." Before Haymitch can say anything a loud hovering noise is heard overhead. Corex snaps his fingers, pulling out his gun. "Get the kids and hide." "What?" "Enemy hovercraft inbound, they're coming for you and the kids." "Mommy?" I see Kadens head poke out from the stairway and then a gunshot rings out outside and the bullet goes through the window.
"Kids, down in the basement now!" They both rush down the stairs and I pick up Kaden who is still toddling. I kiss his cheek. "Come on baby." Corex shuts the door tightly behind us and I set him down when I see my MockingJay suite in the middle of the room, now in perfect condition. I suite up quickly into it, put my bow and arrows on my back and grab my pistol from its holster on my hip. We hear a scuffle upstairs and then gunshots and silence.
The kids are crying, Willow has only seen me in my uniform once and Kaden never has, when they see me like this... It must scare them to death because who they are seeing, right now is Katniss from District Thirteen, not Katniss from District Twelce. They see Katniss the victor, not the tribute. The door is kicked open and Willow squeals. I aim my gun, my hands are shaking. I see the soldier from the place beyond the boarder and before he can do anything a clean shot goes right between his eyes and he falls in a bloody heap.
"Close your eyes kids." I say softly and drag him away from the stairs, put both of them on my hips and jog up them. When I make it up I see Haymitch trying to help Corex who is shot in the stomach. "Haymitch?" He looks up. "Take the kids with you to your bomb bunker with Emily." "What about Hugo?" "Take him with you." I kiss both of my kids gently. "I love you guys, so much." "Where are you going?" I look up at Willow and all I see is Prim, When she was her age. "I have to go help your father.
Willow, whatever you do, make sure Kaden is okay." She nods. "You still have my pin?" I ask and she nods. "If you have it, I promise nothing bad will happen to you two." I stand and look at Haymitch. Then I walk out of the house quickly. Then one of District Thirteens hovercraft come flying down and the hatch opens to a group of soldiers. "MockingJay, please get on we will take you to the Capitol." A man says. I nod quickly and step inside. He hands me a bottle of water. "Get hydrated we are breaching the mansion." I nod.
He pats my shoulder, then lifts his helmet and I see sea foam green eyes. "Finnick?" The man smiles, gives me a wink and pulls something out of his pocket. "Want a sugar cube?" Tears spring in my eyes and I wrap my arms tightly around him. "Oh my god." I set my head on his shoulder where he smells of Palm trees and I close my eyes, my hand gripping his caramel locks. "How are you not dead?" He chuckles. "I have my ways." I feel blood on his showing skin and I look up at him and see his face all scratched up. I put my hands on his cheeks. "Finnick?" "Miss. Everdeen?" I shake my head and see I'm holding a commanders cheeks looking into his sea foam green eyes like Finnicks.
