Chapter 23: Before the Spilling of Blood

Rudy POV

Waking up the next day. My heart was full of anxiousness and self doubt. I had prepared for this the best way I could, but now it is turning into a reality. It is time to face the music and lie in the bed that I had made. However, there were still knots on my knots that twisted my stomach. I couldn’t make myself get up from my warm and safe bed. Even worse, I didn't want to let go of Finnick’s warm embrace. I had no choice in the matter though. With all my will power I got out of bed to possibly face my death once again.

Looking at Finnick’s sleeping face, I didn’t want to wake him up. I did not want him to face the pain of watching me be hurt, hunted, and possibly killed. However, I wanted Finnick by my side until the very last minute. I want him to see me off when I am sent off into the arena. So, I shook him awake and said,” Finnick, it’s time to wake up.”

All I got was a groan back, but I was prescient on. He finally had to open his eyes unwillingly to get up. 

“I don’t want to get up,” said Finnick.

“You have to,Finnick,” I said. 

“I know,” said Finnick. 

“Let’s spend the time we have this morning together, my dear husband of mine,” I said.

Finnick pulled me into him. I was practically laying on top of him when he was still laying down in bed. It didn’t matter though. With just that hug and cuddle section brought our nerves down and calmed our worries and hearts. 

After that, we got up and went on to take a shower together. We literally stayed in each others’ arms the entire time we had.

Time went by quickly, now I’m at a waiting room where a tube lies that will be taking me into the arena. Charmie and Finnick were in the room with me. Before I left to come to the waiting room, Mags gave me a kiss on the cheek, a hug, and good luck. I smiled at her with tears in my eyes when she did so. Mags is such a sweet woman. I am thankful she is looking out for Finnick and I. 

Charmie was the person who helped me get dressed and prepared for the arena while Finnick watched on. You may be wondering why Finnick was able to be here with me without any problems. The reason why is because he pulled some strings to be here with me. It also helped that he used his charming looks to get his way. Good job! Finnick. I’m just happy he gets to see me off. 

“You’re going to do great, I just know it in my gut. I believe that district 4 will have a second winner two years in a row. Don’t you think so to Finnick?,” said Charmie. 

“Yes, there will be! He will come home to where he belongs,” said Finnick.I blushed at Finnick’s words.

“May I ask where he belongs,” said Charmie. 

“He belongs in my arms and my warm embrace for all of eternity,” said Finnick with a wink towards Charmie. 

“Aww, that’s so cute! I am rooting for you two and If you survive the games Rudy I will be still rooting for your relationship. Just think about all the publicity and views of my creations that you will wear. I just hope you get your love back in one piece and back in your arms Finnick,” said Charmie. 

“Thank you, Charmie,” I said sincerely. 

“I hope so too, Charmie,” said Finnick.

“My friends and many others from the capitol believe that Rudy could do the impossible and make it possible. They are already calling him the little prince of the capitol due to his adorable looks and shyness. It’s only fitting that such a cute prince has his knight in shiny armor or more like the capital's darling by his side don’t you believe so,” said Charmie.
