Chapter 1 ~trapped~

Finnick's pov

When I wake up I unhook my IV. I feel fine. I only have one thought on my mind. Daphne. I walk out of where I am and see Haymitch and Plutarch. "Good you're awake." Plutarch says. I nod. "Where's Daphne is she okay?" They exchange looks with each other. "What?" "They got Daphne, Peeta, and Johanna. We got you Katniss and Beetee." "What is this some kind of trade?" "We tried to get to them Finnick but they still had their trackers."

Of course. Daphne started to cut hers out and we heard that cannon. We were so caught up in this dumb plan to keep Katniss and Peeta alive we forgot about our main goal to keep each other alive.

"What about Mags?" I say my voice breaking slightly. "She's alive and she's here with us." I sigh of relief. That's one person. "We need to figure out what to tell Katniss." "Tell her what you told me."

She wakes up. "Morning sweetheart." Haymitch says. She looks around at all of us then takes a syringe trying to inject it into Haymitch but he fights her off taking the syringe from her. "What the hel-" "Stop stop. Just listen." I say. Plutarch explains how she's the mockingjay. "Where's Peeta?" I can't hold back anymore. I walk out of the room.

Daphne's pov

Capital? The capital? But how?

"Johanna?" "Yeah?" "Who all are safe?" "Finnick's fine if that's what you're worried about, Katniss, and Beetee." "Why are we here?" "Think about your arm for a minute." "Our trackers." "Bingo." I sigh.

"Any ideas on how to escape?" "Well we're in a cinderblock room with no windows, a locked door, with no weapons. So no." "How do you know who they have?" "Word got out." "How can you hear anything outside?" "Let's just say they kind of of let me out." "Elaborate." "I'm bald D. They shaved my head, and I still don't know why but I have a feeling I'll be finding out why soon enough." "Why?" "It's the capital. We know how twisted these people are."

I nod to myself.

An event where children kill children they call a game, the winner of said game losing their families, being sold off for your body, the games AGAIN? We all know at this point of sick this really is.

I feel myself tear up. This isn't fair. I knew something would end bad. I didn't think I'd be stuck in the capital though. I didn't think Johanna or especially Peeta would be stuck in the capital.

I hear my door handle jiggle. I don't run back to my bed like I'm afraid. I'm not afraid of them, just what they can do. Peacekeepers open my door. I look them dead in the face. No sign of any emotion. "Daphne Elsher, President Snow wishes to see you." Of course he does. They escort me to him. Still in a hospital gown barefoot on the cold floors of the capital.

"Miss Elsher." "President Snow." I nod to him. Im sat down into a chair where peacekeepers put shackles on my wrists and ankles. "What is this all about?" I ask. "I have reason to believe you already know." I made a promise not so long ago to not speak any word about this plan. I don't intend on breaking it now. "What's your reasoning?" I ask. "Before I answer I have to make a proposal. Every time you lie you'll be punished. Don't lie no punishment it's as simple as that." Something about the look on his face leads me to believe whether I lie or don't lie I'll still be punished in some sort of way. I nod not breaking eye contact with this sick individual.

"Tell me this, were you in on this plan?" "What plan?" A sharp pain to my arm. What was that? "The plan of rebellion." I try my best to act as if I'm in shock Finnick didn't tell me. Lucky for me I've been acting for years now. "I don't follow." I hear footsteps but Snow holds his hand up stopping them. "Using Katniss Everdeen as your leader in this rebellion." "What rebellion?"
