"That's Cordelia Benham and Finnick Odair right?" ┊"Yes, She won he games at 16 in...
When we get to the train I head to my new room. I'm not a tribute anymore so now I get the 'mentors' bedrooms. It's pretty much the same with maybe just a little bit better sheets.
Before I get in the shower I take off some of the makeup. I also take out the braids with the charms. I drop my dress to the floor and I step into the shower.
I close my eyes and run my hands over my hair. I try to think about these last few days.
I got bit by piranhas, Rose and Adrian both died, I watched John die, and I killed the entire career pack. That's a lot to think about. I think back to the letter I got from Snow. He went to go meet my siblings. He commented on the mockingjay charm that was in my hair.
If he was listening in on Tigris and I's conversation she will most definitely be killed. I hope he wasn't listening. I think back to Caesar and watching myself kill the girl from 9.
Suddenly, I'm back in the arena and the water washing down my body is her blood. It's all over. IT'S ALL OVER.
"GET IT OFF. GET IT OFF!" I scream. I run my hands all over my arms and face to try and get the blood off. "PLEASE GET IT OFF! I FEEL IT!" The bathroom door bursts open.
"Dels. Dels" It's Finn.
"Get it off. Please Finnick!" I sob. My eyes are still closed.
"Hey, princess, I need you to open your eyes and look at me." I shake my head. I'm still scratching at my arms and face trying to get the blood off.
"I need you to do this or I can't help." He says grabbing my arms to stop me.
"Get it off." I say in a shaky voice. Finnick takes me and places me in his lap.
"Please, Dels, open your eyes." He whispers in my ear. I comply and open my eyes. "Good." He smiles. He's getting wet too. "It's just water. It's just water." I look down at my arms. It's just water. I close my eyes again and put my head on his shoulder. I'm still shaking. He runs his hand up and down my back and says soothing words in my ear. I cry. I didn't want to kill all of those people.
I don't know how long we sit there, but soon enough Finnick is standing up with me in his arms and shutting off the shower. He gets my towel and dries me off. He picked out my clothes and I got changed.
