Tris POV:
I'm sitting in bed when a voice comes over the tannoy to gather everyone in the cafeteria. Groaning, I quickly get dressed and make my way to the meeting place. I spot Katniss in the crowd and I go over to her. "What's going on?" I ask before stopping next to her.
"It's a promo shoot from the Capitol." She replies and looks straight ahead. A projection of the video appears on the strange looking tv's. Caesar Flickerman's voice introduces Four but I don't listen properly. My mind has gone fuzzy with a million questions. Four's familiar voice brings me out of my trance. He's talking about the day he first kissed me. I feel as though my heart breaks a little more. He's looking straights at the camera now, talking directly to me, begging me to stop this. He blows me a kiss and I see the words 'save me' written onto his wrists.
In that moment my resolve breaks and I fall to the floor crying. The only thing that matters to me is Four and he's being tortured. I feel the people around me start to disperse, finding comfort in the fact that I'm alone. "It's okay, Tris. Let it out." I turn and see Finnick and Katniss crouching next to me. I look at Katniss. "He asked me to save him. He didn't mean anything he said about stopping me. He didn't mean it." I say defiantly. They have to believe me.
"Tris I don't know how to tell you this." Finnick starts, "But people are calling him a traitor. We are planning on getting both of them out soon, possibly next week. I don't think he's going to be welcomed nicely." He finishes. My eyes widen. He's coming home next week. My Four will be back. I look at Katniss again. "You know he didn't mean it, right?" She looks unsure for a second but then nods. Now I just have to wait. And convince everyone else that he didn't mean a word of what he said.
