A/N
Hey! long time no see, I know. I've been really unmotivated for this story for awhile so it took a long time to write it. I think it turned out somewhat great and I hope you enjoy this chapter. As always, VOTE and COMMENT, only if you liked it though. *winks* anyway, I hope you have a great day!

Training with Johanna went well. She learned me many ways of attacking someone with various weapons. It took a bit of time and I failed a lot plus made a fool of myself. Luckily she encouraged me to keep going and even more luckily, there weren't any people training at the time we were there.
"You're going to be fine. I'll be your ally anyway so we'll survive." Johanna patted me on the shoulder while we both walked into the changing room.
Oh god I hope we'll survive.
"By the way Finnick will arrive soon, so I suggest you to go back into the training room and wait for him." Johanna was rummaging in her bag while talking to me.
"Right, yeah." I said realising that this is going to be pretty awkward. I turned around and started walking back to the training area.
"Be nice." Johanna shouted as I walked away. As soon as I entered the room I felt weak. My legs, arms and practically my whole body felt weak. Suddenly a massive headache struck me and I couldn't see anything.
You're going to be okay. You'll be fine.
A voice cried out, not just any voice, It's a familiar voice, a voice I've heard before.
For gods sake let her be! She needs to rest!
An unfamiliar voice was thundering in my head and I fell down to my knees, desperately squeezing my head with my hands in an attempt to make it all stop.
DON'T LEAVE US! PLEASE FIGHT LUCY! YOU'RE A WARRIOR!
A sharp pain struck straight into my heart and I fell down to the floor.
What is happening?
The pain kept getting worse and I had a difficult time to breathe.
FINNICK WILL SAVE YOU IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT YOURSELF! Please baby fight through this. Please.
A third but familiar voice half shouted and whispered in my mind.
I couldn't put my finger on who the voices in my head were. Two of them are so familiar but I just don't remember.
"LUCY!" I heard a familiar voice shout and this wasn't in my head for sure.
Finnick was on his knees hovering above me and checking my pulse.
"I'm fi..." I croaked. My throat was super dry. Finnick looked at me, still scared.
"We'll get you some water." At those words he picked me up bridal style and we went off to the changing rooms. I gazed at him the whole time, wondering if I should stroke his cheek and say I'm okay. And so I did.
I stroked my cold hand on his warm cheek and it was as smooth as a rock that's been polished by the never ending waves from the ocean. Finnick stopped walking and looked down at me.
"Finnick, I'm o-" my voice cracked.
"Shh. Don't talk love." Finnick whispered as he started walking again.
I mean, how could this happen? The voices were much stronger than before and I could almost make out who the people were that shouted at me.
Once Finnick and I arrived in the changing room I felt even weaker. My vision started to fade and the voices started to come back.
No, I must fight this.
I tried to focus my eyes on Finnick as he lay me down on a bench. I felt a massive headache coming in again and the voices are now even louder. I couldn't make out what the voices were saying, they're all shouting at the same time.
My head is going to explode!
"Here, drink this." Finnick lifted me up into a sitting position but
I still couldn't focus my eyes on him. I could make out a shape in his right hand, which probably was the glass of water.
I brought up my right hand and tried to get a hold of the glass.
"DON'T DO IT!"
I immediately stopped and looked around with my vision that was now extremely blurry.
"NO, STOP!"
My head was thundering with pain.
"What!? It's just water?" I was getting really frustrated at the voices; telling me not to do a simple and harmless task.
"PLEASE."
A faint voice shouted. I felt weird, all the voices started to fade and my vision came back to normal. I turn my head to look at Finnick, who just sat there, holding the glass of water and looked at me surprised.
I took the glass of water out of his hand and smiled at him, before taking big gulps of the cold and refreshing water.
"Thanks. That really helped." I put the glass down on the bench and stood up. Finnick was still sitting on the bench looking at me with a weird expression I couldn't quite make out.
"Are you coming, Good looking?" I smirked while giving him a hand. He gave a genuine smile and took my hand. I lifted him up and we both went into the training room.
"Right, so first I'm going to learn you how to tie a knot." Finnick explained while he went to get a rope from a table with different weapons and masking stuff.
"I already-"
"This is not a shoelace knot, Lucy." Finnick laughed, he already knew what I was going to say.
"Touché." I huffed.
Finnick motioned for us to go and sit on a bench in order to have some comfort while tying knots. He started learning me some basic knots and it went pretty well actually! I just hope I'll have a chance to use these in the games.
After a while of training how to tie different knots Finnick showed me how to use a trident.
"Alright, stand widely and hold the trident in your dominant hand." Finnick said as he stood and looked at me from the side. I did as he said and I almost fell because of my awful balance and the trident was actually a lot heavier than I thought. Finnick came to my rescue and held me from my back so I wouldn't fall. He made me stand in the position of throwing the trident again and held my waist with his left hand. Finnick took a hold of my right hand which had the trident in it, with his free hand. I could feel a tingling sensation from his smooth and careful touch. A blush crept upon my cheeks and I started smiling a little. When I was in his arms it almost felt like home. I don't even know where my home really is but it was just such a distinctive feeling I couldn't shake off.
I felt Finnick leaning in near my ear and my breath hitched.
"Throw it, darling." He whispered and took a few steps back. I focused on the target, which was a big fabric doll with a big red dot on its heart. I took a deep breath in, and then let it all out. I did the same thing again, but before I let the air out I threw the trident at the doll as hard as I could and let out an almost barbarian scream. Panting, I realise I had hit the target almost perfectly on its heart. I turn to Finnick and he smiled widely and nodded.
"Great job, beautiful."
I rolled my eyes and turned my back at him. I smiled to myself and couldn't help but feel proud of my achievements from today.
Maybe I'll survive this after all.
