Finnick and Katniss. Love is Warfare

Chapter 1

Katniss POV

The tube closes around me and starts to rise up. I keep my head up and my shoulders back. I am blinded by light once my head is out of the tunnel. I hear the gentle lap of water and feel the heat on my skin. My eyes adjust to the sunlight and I see that I am standing on the platform that's in the middle of a very large lake you could say. The cornucopia was in the middle. It had 6 long strips of rock coming out of it that I could see. There might be more round the other side. I see the timer counting down at the top of the cornucopia. It's at 57 seconds. I look to my left and see that we are surrounded by a jungle. The heat is getting to me already. I look around at the other tributes looking for someone in particular. I can't see Finnick. He must be at the other side. I spy Mags. I smile at her, she nods at me. 25 seconds. I spy the bow in the opening of the cornucopia I set my focus on that and breath deeply. My father had taught me to swim back home at 12. This would really help me. I'm not sure how many others knew how to swim. 4 definitely can.

I dive into the water. The warmth is an unsuspected shock. I hold my breath and everything from the secret swimming lessons. I push forward kicking my legs and scooping the water with my arms. I pull myself up to the island in the middle where the bow an arrow is. I run to it. And grab it. It feels good to have the familiar weight in my hands. I go turn back to get the arrows but they are gone. I turn back and smack into something.

"Shit." I whisper as I feel my nose start to drip.

"Ah crap Katniss, are you okay? I was just getting you some arrows." A concerned looking Finnick says holding out arrows.

"Its okay, don't worry." I say smiling.

"A nose bleed is not something to not worry about." Finnick says.

"Its bleeding?!?" I say shocked. He just nods. I spy Brutus has just arrived at the middle. "duck" I say and fire an arrow at him. Finnick ducks and the arrow barely misses him. Brutus sees it coming and jumps back in the water towards Gloss, Cashmere, Enobaria and Peeta.

"Thanks." he says picking up a trident and couple of other things. "Lets look and see who else is left and then we can decide where to set up camp." He strides to the other side. I follow counting the arrows in my quiver. I spy Mags floating just a little bit away from one of the rock 'runway' type things.

"Ill get her." I put down the bow and arrows and run along until I'm in line with her.
