"I can't believe we have to go back into the games." Finnick mumbles, running his fingers through my hair. We have been awake for about an hour, just enjoying our last moments to ourselves.
"You better be right about this plan." I say, looking up at him. "I could've gotten us out and if one of us di-" Finnick cuts me off.
"I can't promise anything, but I think this will work." Finnick says. "I will do everything in my power to make sure you are safe."
I sit up and look him in the eye. He must know that what I'm about to say is important to me because his face turns just as serious as mine."When we are in there, don't try to be a hero and sacrifice yourself for me. I need you just as much as you need me." I say, looking at him.
Finnick nods and I put my head back down on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. The silence in the room is comforting because in less than 2 hours we will be thrown into an arena where we might not get peace and quiet for a while.
The rest of the time spent is with the two of us trying to fall back to sleep, but failing because of the nerves. Our legs are entangled and our breathing is matched. I am the only person out of our entire rebellion plan who has had to care for people during my original games. Nobody knows the pressure you get put under and I hope nobody cracks under it.
I must have gotten a little bit of sleep because the next time I wake up I hear a knock at the door. I feel Finnick's hand run up and down my back as I start to wake. "It must be time to go." Finnick says.
"Mhm." I say. "I don't wanna go yet. I just want to stay like this." I wrap my arms around his torso tighter.
The door opens and Cody comes walking inside the room. "Hey, you guys need to get going now. We let you stay in here a little longer than you should and if I let you in here a second longer Winnie might murder me." Cody says.
We both laugh and slowly get out of the bed. "You're gonna wear the ring right?" I ask Finnick, pulling out the necklace that holds my engagement ring.
"Actually, you two have to wear these." Cody says, holding out two boxes. "It's to show that you're in an alliance with district 12."
"What?" I ask, taking the box. "That's not fair at all. We planned to wear our engagement rings."
I open the box to find a gold chain necklace that looks pretty much identical to the bracelet Finnick was given. Finnick looks over to me and just gives me a sad smile. I sigh and put the necklace around my neck.
