Finnick and Katniss. Love is Warfare

Chapter 10

Katniss POV

I'm sitting on a tree log in a mini clearing with my head in my hands. My bow lays discarded at my feet as I feel the tears roll down my face and watch them splash against my shoes.

"Stupid stupid stupid stupid" I mutter to my self. I don't know what happened I'm getting flashbacks of screams, arms around me then Finnick being scared of me. I'm trying so hard to put the pieces of the puzzle together. It's as if the answers are in my head, and I can reach them but there is a big black fog around them and the harder I try to remember it's like they get darker. I don't understand. "Stupid stupid you stupid girl stupid stupid stupid stupid" I continue muttering. I hear footsteps and instead of staying quiet like I know I should I just shout "I can hear you. If you want to kill me hurry up. At least I'd be away from this hell." The footsteps pause before starting, getting louder as they come closer to me. I frown to myself. I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be accepting death. I slowly pick up my bow and get up slowly. I take slow steps backwards away from the footsteps. I take deep breaths. Suddenly standing in the tree line in front of the clearing and I gasp. It's Finnick. The tears start flowing again as I run to him and hug him tightly.

"Katniss I'm Sor"

"Shut up don't say your sorry! You did nothing wrong! Whatever happened I scared you I'm the one who should be apologising! I never ever meant to scare you! I'm not sure exactly what happened but I know I never ever want to make you that scared ever again! You don't deserve that!"

"I love you Katniss Everdeen." He whispers before kissing my forehead.

"I know now isn't really the time..." I pause smiling "but I like Katniss Odair." He laughs and kisses the tip of my nose.

"So do I! Now come on let's get back to camp, You've been away for a while we have dinner ready." He takes my hand and I follow him towards the camp.

"Wow I really walked a long way." I say after 15 minutes and we still aren't there.

"You sure did, just a couple more minutes darling."  We arrive back and see that Cashmere is sitting arranging nuts on a giant leaf. I smile. Peeta is standing at the edge of the sand, his feet in the water.

"Is it bad I want to push him in?" I whisper to Finnick, he covers his mouth to hide his laugh. Peeta turns round and walks towards Where Cashmere is and sits down.

"I have come to a conclusion." He says we wait for him to continue but he doesn't he just picks up a nut and puts it in his mouth.

"Well?.." I say getting impatient. He scowls at me and I roll my eyes.

"Sit." Peeta commands. Finnick sits down but I just cross my arms.

"Why?" I raise my eyebrows, I see Finnick roll his eyes at my immature behaviour.

"You wanna know what happened or not." He snaps. I sit down quietly my cheeks flushed as Finnick chuckles. I elbow him in his side.

"Damn." Cashmere whispers.

"We have to whisper, Cashmere talk about something that would look like harmless chat if the cameras ever come onto us it's not suspicious." He then begins to whisper as cashmere talks loudly about leaving the careers. "So they injected Katniss with tracker jacket venom mixed with some formula they made in the Capitol. I'm not sure what's it's made up of. But it disorientates thoughts so that they are programmed to kill people they are friends with and become allies with people they hate, it's the Capitols way of making and army as most people hate Snow, so they use this to get them on their side. Obviously it was only a small dose as you snapped out of it."

"But why would they do that?" Finnick says.

"Maybe they missed Peeta and got Katniss by accident and wanted to see how it played out?" Cashmere suggests.

"That sounds reasonable." I say. "I'm tired, who's on first watch?"

"I will?" Finnick suggests. Everyone just nods.
