Peaceful Forever [Book 1]

Chapter 11

AN: putting in an extra warning as this chapter is intense. Please see comment on this line for triggering topics.
Also in my story I decided that Johanna won the 69th games at 17 instead of the 71st as I wanted her to be a mentor during Amily's games and also I think 69 is a more fitting number for her. Anyways, enjoy the chapter.

-Amily's POV-

Pain was all you felt as you slowly gained consciousness. Oddly though, your pain was coming from your stomach and thighs and not your head. It also felt as if you had the weight of someone on top of you. Rapidly coming to your senses, you realize that you were in a cave with whom you assume to be the careers.

Finally becoming fully aware of the situation, you are alerted to the fact that Herman is on top of you. You start to hyperventilate as you realize what's happening. Your clothes have been ripped off. He's pushing something into you. Oh my god he's having sex with me.

Tears stream down your face as you try to push him off but you're too weak. He seems to notice the fact that you have regained consciousness and gives you a sadistic grin.

"Oh baby I hope you're enjoying this as much as I am," he growled. "You're being such a good girl for me. So quiet and submissive."

All you can do is lay there and cry as he strips you of your innocence in front of all of Panem. Your brain has had enough, finally shutting off for what you hope is forever.

-Finnick POV-

The mentor lounge is silent as the screens air Amily's torture. I should look away but I can't. All the nights with my clients come flooding into my brain as I watch this innocent girl be absolutely defiled by this excuse of a career. Tears stream down Mag's face and I notice that my hands are shaking.

I was told Lyme and Brutus had quickly left the room when it started as they clearly didn't want to talk about their disgrace of a tribute. If he wins the games, he will be murdered on site.

I'm brought back to the present by a hand on my shoulder. I didn't even notice Blight and Johanna come into the lounge but I'm glad they're here. I would have assumed they had gone home by now considering their last tribute passed this morning and it is now late afternoon. Herman had been having his way with Amily for 3 hours now. I wasn't in the lounge when it started but I got a frantic call from Cashmere that I needed to get to the lounge ASAP.

When I had entered the lounge two hours ago, l was greeted by the distressed faces of all the mentors and a very distraught Mags. You would have thought the whole arena died looking at everyone's faces. Rushing to Mags, all she could do is cry and point at the screen. I turned and looked at the scene unfolding and collapsed on the floor, where I have been for the past two hours.

"Finnick," Johanna states as she shakes my shoulder. I manage to glance up at her with my glossed over eyes. "I'm taking you and Mags back to your floor. You need to stop watching this."
"I need to help her," I say as my voice shatters into a million pieces. "I need to get sponsors for new clothes and I need to get a message to Dorian so he can find her and help her," I say through tears.

Dorian left the career pack two days earlier when he learned of Herman's plans to torture Amily. Herman didn't tell him it would be sexual but Dorian wasn't down to stick around and witness whatever he had planned so he left in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, he was on the opposite end of the arena from where Amily was being held.

"Finnick," Johanna said calmly. "You and Mags are going to your suite. Blight is taking care of all of the sponsors and is working on sending her stuff. The best thing you can do for her right now is take care of yourself. When she gets out of the arena she's going to need strong Finnick, not distressed Finnick."

I nod my head and reluctantly follow Johanna out of the lounge. I appreciate how Johanna always said "when they get out" instead of "if they get out" when referring to tributes. I secretly hoped Amily would make it out but I wasn't optimistic.

After we got back to our floor, Johanna informed us that she would be staying with us to ensure that we did not turn on the games. She knew how triggering it was to me and Mags and so she would not let us watch it.

"Blight and I smuggled in some communicuffs so he's going to keep me updated on what's happening. Lyme and Brutus feel horrible so they're being decent humans for once and are coordinating the sponsor gifts for your tributes," sighed Johanna.

Cashmere came to check in on us a few hours later. She wanted to make sure that we had eaten dinner but none of us were in the mood for food. I dozed off on the couch while Cashmere and Johanna sat with Mags on the opposite end of the large sofa.

Johanna nudged me awake a few hours later. Cashmere was passed out with Mags to my left and Johanna was alert on my right.

"Blight just messaged me," she said as my heart dropped. "Herman and Rocky left the cave to go hunting. Amily still hasn't woken up but she's alive. Sapphire is guarding the cave and the guys won't return till later tonight."
"Can we alert Dorian?" I asked.

"Lyme is going to try but there's no way to know if he'll get there before the guys return," she sighed. "Also we won't send clothes until she's out of the situation. There's no point in sending them if the careers are just going to toss them and not use them for her."

I sigh in defeat and stand up to stretch. Turning towards Mags I rub my eyes, noticing something isn't right.

"Johanna?" I ask. "How long has Mags been asleep?"
"Um a few hours. Why?"

Panic begins to rise in my throat. It's subtle but I immediately notice the right side of Mags' face is sagging and her whole body is slumped over in a weird position. I rush over to her and attempt to shake her awake.

"Mags," I say frantically. "Mags wake up."
I'm practically yelling at this point. Cashmere shoots awake and takes one glance at Mags before yelling at Johanna to call for medical.
"She's having a stroke," Cashmere yells.
