I didn't know how long it had been since the games as I awoke in a hospital room, the lights stinging my eyes and my mouth dry as hell. I looked around trying to figure out where I was, nothing I recognized nothing.  Looking over my body I checked to make sure all of me was still there, once I was sure it was and I wasn't dreaming I ripped the IV out of my arm. 

It took me a moment to stand, my bare feet touching the cold ground, I looked around for anything I could use as a weapon I decided that a metal tray that was holding some supplies would do. 

I walked towards the door and it opened, the hallway was just as bright as the room I woke up in was, looking around I moved down the hallway honestly a little shocked that there weren't any guards.  If the Capital had me why were there no guards? Were they not expecting me to wake up, I wonder who else they got from the area alive. 

Finally, at the end of the hallway, I saw two people in a meeting room, Haymitch and Finnick, my hand stopped working and I dropped the tray it clattering to the ground with a large clang.  I could feel my heartbeat in my throat, the two men looked at me and Finnick's eyes widened at the sight of me.  I couldn't put together what was happening, the only thing I could think of was the fact that Finnick was in front of me.  

"Astrid, l-let me explain everything-" Finnick started as I looked at him, still frozen in place my feet felt like a million bricks were attached to them. 

"Welcome to the rebellion Ms. Bloodthirsty," Haymitch said with a smile, not his normal smirk and that caused all of my attention to snap to him, I felt as if I was back in my body, I could feel my feet once again and I walked through the doorway.

"Katniss brought a needle out when she woke up, I think I like the tray idea better." Haymitch laughed and I couldn't help but tilt my head at him as I stopped walking about three feet in front of the men.  

"Astrid, I wanted to tell you the plan but we knew that the fewer people that knew the better, but you are safe.  We are going to district 13."

"District 13 was destroyed," I said, my head snapping back to look at Finnick, I was still trying to wrap my head around everything that had happened in the ten minutes it had been since I woke up.  My head turned back towards Haymitch, "Katniss..." It was almost a question. 

"Katniss is alive, she is here on board with us, her District was destroyed." Finnick started and then Haymitch started adding things.

"Peeta and Johanna were taken by the Capital, we will be working on a way to get them back as soon as possible." My stomach dropped listening to the words coming out of Haymitch's mouth, what did he mean they were taken?  I couldn't even fathom what they were doing to the two of them, what lay in store for them. 

"I think I needed to lay down," I finally said, after another ten minutes of the men telling me everything that had happened, and what they hoped would happen. 

"Can I take you to a room?" Finnick asked, pleading in his eyes, although his features were traced with fear. 

"Um yeah, of course," I told him looking at his lips, wondering when the next time I would be able to capture them with mine would be, or if that was really just an act on his side.  To make sure I went along with his plans. 

The walk with Finnick to an actual room, not a hospital room was short. He smiled at me when he opened the door, it was a decent-sized room, smaller than the ones that we stayed at before the games.  But there was enough room for a queen-sized bed that sat in the far right corner, it had dark grey sheets on it and a blanket that was messed up as if someone had slept in it. Finnick must have taken me to his room, probably afraid of what might happen if I was left alone. There was a dresser in the corner and after noticing it, I realized that I was still just in a hospital gown.  I turned and looked at Finnick who was behind me and blushed, "I uh, just realized that I am still in a hospital gown." My voice was horse. 

I couldn't read the look on Finnick's face, he just stared at me his head tilted slightly to the left, his lips parted slightly.  

"Finnick..." I said his name and that seemed to snap something inside of him, he was on me in a moment, his body was pressed against mine as his lips crashed on mine.  I could feel the want and need in his kiss.  His right hand gripped my hip while his left one found its way to my hair, tugging on it slightly harsh from the ack of me kissing him back.  

I melted into the kiss letting my body take over as my arms found their way around his neck, his hand sliding down to my ass pulling me closer against his body, him lifting me up and my legs wrapping around his waist.  His tongue slid into my mouth and I let him claim it as he laid me down on his bed.  His head pulled away and I almost whimpered but I stopped it before it left my throat. His beautiful eyes looked down at me and the smile on his face was giant. "I didn't know if you'd wake up."

"Oh come on golden boy, did you really think you could get rid of me that easily," I said before leaning up and taking his lips with mine again, pulling him back down on top of me.  He propped himself up with an arm that lay next to my head. 

Once again he pulled away, this time though he moved from on top of me, laying next to me on the bed, "I love you, Astrid." Finnick whispered brushing hair out of my face.

"I love you too, Finnick," I responded.  All of my worries and doubts went away as I looked into his ocean eyes. "Although  I still need to change." I grinned as he rolled his eyes and stood up, I propped myself up on my elbows watching him as he found a pair of dark grey sweatpants and a dark grey shirt. I thanked him as he handed them to me, standing as I watched him, waiting for him to turn around so I could change.  All he did though was smirk at me as he stood there watching me, I blushed turning myself around before dropping the clothes on the bed in front of me. I took the hospital gown off, I was left in nothing but some paper-like underwear, which I took off as well. 

The blush that came across my face knowing that I was standing naked in front of Finnick, glad my back was to him with the blush I knew was there.  I leaned down and grabbed the pants but when I stood up again I stood up against Finnick.  His breath was against the back of my neck and his fingers traced down my arms lightly. "You drive me crazy," he whispered against my skin, his lips brushing over my skin and I swear I almost passed out right then and there. 

His lips kissing my skin caused a moan to slip out, and his hands found their way to my hips pulling me against his body, the hardness of his body becoming all I could think about as I felt it against me. Finnick was making a mess of me with how he was attacking my neck, his lips, and teeth causing me to moan softly, "Finnick" I moaned, which caused him to let out a groan. 

"Oh princess, I've wanted to touch you like this for years, I've wanted you to be mine for years.  Seeing Gloss touch you during the games drove me insane, and when you disappeared in the beginning I was a mess. But it's fine, it's over and you are mine..." Finnick pressed himself against me harder as he growled those last three words and I turned in his arms kissing him again. 

"Yours all yours," I whispered against his lips which were turned up in a smile. He stepped away from me eyes glowing, "You should get dressed, we can take a nap, you still need rest."

I nodded and got dressed, no longer bothering to turn away from Finnick.  Once I was dressed I crawled into the bed, and Finnick followed pulling me into his chest.  "We should be in 13 by the time we wake up." I nodded laying my head down on his chest with a yawn, sleep was consuming me.
