The Capitol's Darling - The Hunger Games

twenty-seven: what did you do to my sister

THIRD PERSON VIEW

"Someone's here." Katniss blurted to the other two as she readied her bow.

Finnick tried to hide behind the trees when he slightly recognised one of the tributes who had just made their way out of the forest.

"Johanna?" He asked to no one in particular. "Johanna!" He repeated, this time running towards the girl.

"Finnick!" She replied back as she recognised him too and embraced him in a hug. Peeta and Katniss stood their and watched before Peeta spoke up and started walking to them too.

"Guess we have more allies."

"Well, I got 'em out. We were all the way deep into the jungle where I thought it was gonna be safe." Johanna started to explain. "That's where we ran into Kat."

"W-wait hold up, you saw Katia? Is she ok?" Finnick asked immediately.

Johanna sighed before replying back, "She's ok. Well- she was. She tried getting me to come with her but I told her I couldn't leave them so," She huffed out.

"But that's when the rain started. I thought it was water, it turned out to be blood. Hot, thick blood. It was coming down, it was choking us!" Johanna scoffed, realising how naive she was to think the game makers were nice enough to gift them with actual rain.

"Luckily, we found a tree big enough to shelter us from it. But Katia... she had her mind set on killing Beetee the moment she laid eyes on him. She looked terrifying! Standing there, out in the open as that same hot thick blood poured down all over her body, yet she paid no thought to it. But as she was about to kill Beetee, Blight pushed him out of the way."

Johanna exhaled, thinking whether or not she wanted to continue. "He wasn't much, but he was from home." Finnick and the district 12 tributes gave her a sympathetic look, feeling sorry about her district partner.

"She was about to aim again but that's- that's when I did something horrible Finnick." She explained as she looked Finnick in the eyes full of regret.

"Johanna what did you do to my sister." Finnick asked firmly as he realised how hesitant Johanna was to speak.

"I.. I shot her in the leg with a spear." She admitted with her head down.

Finnick's eyes widened as he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding while running his hand through his hair.
"B-but that's when we got away! We were stumbling around, gagging on the blood blind, but we got out!" She attempted to defend herself as Finnick looked angry.

"You threw a spear at my sister! Johanna you threw a spear at your bestfriend, Katia of all people! She's not gonna take this lightly!" He slightly yelled.

Johanna looked down at the sand, not wanting to explain the rest to Finnick, seeing his previous reaction.

"That's not it.." She muttered quietly but loud enough for Finnick and the others around to hear. He didn't say anything as he opted for her to elaborate.

Hesitantly, Johanna picked something up from the sand that had been slightly covered and brought it up to show Finnick and the rest.

Katia's trident.

His eyes widened in shock but also in fear, knowing what his sister was capable of. "Johanna why would you take this! How did you even manage to get it!? She's gonna kill you!" He yelled, not caring if he was being too loud.

"I-I don't know ok! After she killed Blight I was scared so I took it so she wouldn't have anything else. Plus she has her knives I don't know why she would be so mad over this!" Johanna said, defending herself.

"It's Katia Odair we're talking about, she gets mad about everything!"

Meanwhile, Wiress had been repeatedly saying the words 'Tick tock' while trying to get Johanna's attention.

"What's wrong with her?" Katniss asked, looking at Wiress.

"She's in shock. Dehydration isn't helping, do you have fresh water?" Beetee who was washing himself in the water, spoke up.

"We can get some." Katniss replied before she was cut off by a yelling Johanna.

"Just stop! Listen. Stop it!" She yelled as she tried to pry the district 3 tribute away from her.

Katniss immediately went to defend the girl who was now thrown to the ground. "Hey! Lay off her!"

As the two was about to start a fight, Finnick jumped straight in and held Johanna back as Peeta did the same to Katniss.

"I got them out for you! Let me go, Finnick!" Johanna shouted as she tried to remove herself from Finnick's grip.

"For me? What does that mean?" Katniss asked no one in particular.

Peeta who had stopped holding on to Katniss replied, "You did want them as allies."
