The first thing he did when he heard the news was run to Cashmere and Bex's room where he knew Cashmere was, Finnick didn't even bother knocking as he barged into the room, "Jesus Finnick!...what happened? You okay?" 

"District Eight was just bombed again."

Cashmere stood up from where she was sitting on her bed, "So Bex is alive? You wouldn't be acting like this if she was dead...who is dead?" 

Finnick pulled out a chair and sat down, running his hand through his hair, "Cecelia." Cashmere closed her eyes and sighed, "Colt and Danai...Ben. And just about everyone else from Eight."

Cashmere's eyes immediately met Finnick's, "You knew about Ben?" He nodded, "Shit...Cecelia and Woof. The two people who can pull Bex back better than either of us can."

"We're just gonna have to try. She and Nash...they're not gonna be okay."

Cashmere nodded, "Okay, we'll divide and conquer. Blight can take Nash and you take Bex. You if anyone are going to be able to help her. I can talk to Isla but...I don't know her."

No one was processing anything when they arrived back in Thirteen. They had brought back Paylor, Lucy-Gray, Isla, Rhys and Delila. But there were still only five true District Eight people left.

Paylor and the three last remaining Dreesens were stuck together like glue. None of them left each other's sides, Paylor holding Lucy-Gray's arm. And Isla would not move from Bex's side, in one moment she had turned back into the scared eighteen year old that Bex had first met at the reaping.

Blight had his arm under Nash, helping him down the ramp as the doctors came towards them, one tried to grab Bex's arm, but she immediately pulled back, just the thought of anyone touching her made her skin crawl, "Touch me I swear to god!"

But this doctor didn't listen so when Bex stepped back once more Nash pushed him back, "She said no."

"It's my job- "

Nash cut him off, "I don't give a fuck!" He grabbed the doctor's collar and punched him around the face. Bex shouted as she moved Isla backwards.

"Nash!" Blight shouted as he pulled Nash back, pushing him up against a wall standing in front of him.
