Yay finally an update after like a year 🌚 And I know I made this very confusing last chapter so I'm hoping to clear this up.
----------------------------------------------
Katniss' POV

I gasp as the pool of blood continues to get bigger, I feel tears start to pool around my lids, as my tears fall I let out a gut wrenching scream,
"Katniss!" I hear a voice scream from downstairs, Finnick.
"Finnick! Finnick I'm upstairs!" I hear footsteps, probably Finnick climbing up the stairs, but when the door opens I'm meet face to face with an unfamiliar face,
"Are you okay? What happened?" She looks at me, but her eyes start to drift to Delly,
"What the fuck? Delly! What the hell happened?" She rages, I stare at her face and when her eyes meet mine I can't help but gasp slightly, such a beautiful shade, they remind me of Peetas eyes; kind of like a light blue.
"Don't ask me, one minute she's standing up with a gun in her hand then the next thing I know she's dead on the ground!" I yell,
"Okay, the house has already been evacuated, you're probably very confused right now, but I'll explain when I'm downstairs. but whatever, now come with me. Finnicks worried about you." She reaches her hand out to me,
"And he couldn't come up here and tell me himself?" I ask suspiciously, squinting my eyes. Who is this chic? she chuckles,
"I'm pretty sure if you only had one leg you would have trouble walking up stairs, now come." she grabs my hand and yanks me up, dusting off my legs I speak trying to break the silence. "Finnick has one leg? I thought that was Peeta? Who even are you?"
"The names Anna, Anna Kendrick. and Finnicks the one who's gonna tell you that crap. Now let's go."
We walk down the stairs and we're meet with a pacing Finnick,
"What happened? Where did everyone go? Where's the mess from the party? Why is the stereo gone? Why was there a bang? Where's Katniss and Peeta? ANNA!"
"What? Mate, I'm here. Just chill out."
"Chill out?! Are you kidding me? Katniss! Where have you been and where's Peeta?!" I flinch at his anger, he sees my action and his face drops, probably feeling guilty. He walks over and envelopes me in a hug, forcing me to drop Annas hand, she steps away and I watch her walk into the kitchen over Finnicks shoulder.
"I don't know where Peeta is, but what's happening? I'm so confused right now." He lets go of me and opens his mouth to speak, but is interrupted by a voice coming from behind him, I look over his shoulder to find Annie? Anna? Anna, opening a water bottle,
"okay, first let's start with the party you had, obviously the party may have looked very busy, but it honestly wasn't, probably 50 people here max, I did the math. So it really wouldn't be that hard to evacuate the house, so when they heard the bang they ran away, although before the bang a saw a blonde boy run up the stairs, I didn't know who it was, but when he came down he looked pretty suspicious." Peeta.
"So I had no idea what was going on with that dude, but after he ran away I saw little Finny here," she punches his shoulder chuckling, how is she so calm with all this? I'm literally shaking. But I guess that's the side effects of witnessing a murder.
"Pacing around the room saying this random shit, he kept mumbling Katniss, Katniss, so I kind of figured you were Katniss, and my assumptions were correct. So I went upstairs and got you, and you know what happened from then on. Did that help?" She smiles at Finnick before turning to me and giving me a small wink, I look down at my fingers, fumbling.
"Has someone even called the cops? Honestly this is so screwed up, like, there was a murder. A friggen murder, and there is no cops around? What the hell." Finnick looks over at me before pulling out his cellphone and walking away obviously calling the cops, leaving Anna and I to ourselves.
"So, how come I've never seen you around before?" I question, leaning against the door frame, keeping eye contact, she smirks pushing herself off the wall and steadily making her way over to me before she's in front of my face. Woah, her eyes are even prettier up close, I just wish she-
"I moved down here around the same time you did actually, I never came to school though, Finnicks my cousin, and my parents decided it would be better if I go off and spend a year
with my goody two shoes cousin so I can come back with 'the right attitude' but that's bull, I have no attitude. So, I don't see the problem." She takes a sip of her water before offering me some, "would you like some? you seem a little shaken up, maybe you just need to relax? Have some water and chillax man."
"Relax? Chillax?? Are you kidding me? Somebody was just killed up there! And you're here telling me to chill? What the hell, dude? I'm so confused right now, and honestly I just want to get home and-" well I hadn't thought this out, Peeta was home, I don't know where Peeta is, so no Peeta, no home, great.
"No, no no no no. This can't be happening." I say face-palming, literally sliding to the ground, for special affect.
"What's wrong? Do you not have somewhere to stay or something?" she giggles but stops when I glare at her, she plops down in front of me chuckling,
"just come stay at mine, literally right down the road, I swear I'll keep my distance. But, that is if you aren't in a holding cell by then."
"-Yes, no body knows, no the house is empty, thank you. Right, the cops are one their way and- what's happening here?" Finnick crossing his arms, smirking. Looking over at me he winks, bro.
"Nothing much, just giving the lil lady a place to stay that's all." Anna stands up rubbing my head like a dog, Finnick frowns,
"She probably won't be able to, she's going down to the station when the cops get here, witness purposes of course. Sorry Katniss, I tried to convince them, but they wouldn't take it." I close my eyes as I hear the sirens in the distance and whisper suddenly feeling a wave of tired rush all over me, more like a tsunami actually,
"thanks Fin, its okay. I just need a nap." Those were the last words I said before I blacked out.
