" Finnick, Can you do a propo.?" Cressida asked the boy. After Katniss's failed propo, they now relied on finnick too do one. This cover the men going into save the captured tributes. Finnick shook his head 'yes' as the women led him outside.
" Okay, Finnick?" She asked.
" yeah. Yeah."
" Go in the center there. Those rocks." She told the man where to stand. " so we'll go straight to camera. Okay? Finnick?" She called his name questioning him once she had noticed he was spaced out.
" Yeah."
" okay. Take your time. Just Remeber to keep talking and don't stop."
" This is Finnick Odair, winner of the 65th hunger games. And I'm coming too you from district 13, alive and well. We've survived an assult from the Capitol. But I'm not here too give you recent news. The truth, not the myths about the life of luxury. Not the lie about the glory for your homeland. You can survive the arena. The moment you leave your a slave." He paused taking a deep breath.
" President Snow used to sell me. Or my body, at least. I wasn't the only one. If a Victor is considered 'desirable', the president gives them as a reward or allows people too buy them. If you refuse.. he kills someone you love." He had never told anyone about this, Reina didn't even know. Getting it off his chest felt good.
" To make themselves feel better, my patrons would make presents of money or jewelry. But I found a much more valuable form of payment.. Secrets."
" See, I know all the depravity, the deceit and the cruelty of the Capitol's pampered elite. But the biggest secrets are about our good president Coriolanus Snow. Such a young man when he rose to power.Such a clever one to keep it, How? You may ask, did he do it? One word. Poison." He shrugged his shoulder and took a deep breath in.
" He stopped every muting before it even started. There are so many mysterious deaths to adversaries. Even the Allie's who were threats.Snow would drink from the same cup, to deflect suspicion. But antidotes don't always work, which is why he wears roses that reek of perfume.. Help cover the scent of blood from sores in his mouth that will never heal."
" But he can't hide the scent of who he really is. He kills without mercy. He rules with deception and fear. His weapon of choice is the only thing suited to such a man. Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake." He paused when Cressida held up her hand.
"We don't need anymore, they've put Katniss on." Finnick shook his head as the group went back inside the base. He sat inside a room, and not that much longer Katniss walked in. She had tears in her eyes, she sat next too him.
The two sat in silence, nervous, wondering if the squad would really be able too get back with the captured tributes. Finnick starting tying knots, it kept him calm when Reina wasn't around.The door openes quickly,
" Their back." Haymitch says. Katniss immediately stands up and runs out the door. Finnick hesitated but quickly ran with Katniss. The walked through the door rushing too see the ones they loved.
