Fire And Ice

Chapter 12

Tris POV: 

When I awake I'm not in my usual bed, I'm in a hospital bed with people crowded around me. My throat kills and I can't swallow properly. I look into the face of my friends, fear in their eyes. "What" I manage to croak, "Happened?" Those two words were almost impossible to say. I look from Katniss to Finnick to Haymitch. Wait. Haymitch is here, it must be bad. "Four attacked you. The rescue team had just come back and you insisted on seeing him. I followed you in because I didn't trust him, we had to sedate him, Tris. When you went into his room, he lunged for you and tried to strangle you. I hit him over the head and he dropped you to the ground, but second later he lunged at you again. So I hit him over the head again whilst others pulled him away from you." Finnick explains. I look at him as a single tear escapes. Over the past few weeks, I've grown attached to Finnick. He's helped me deal with the people of District 13 who hate both me and Four, the idea of him being in danger worries me. He's such a good friend. 

A nurse comes in and asks everyone to leave. I try and sit up but she pushes me back down. "My name is Lucia. I'm going to be your nurse. Do you remember Katniss and Peeta's game when Katniss was attacked by trackerjackers?" I nod slowly. "Good, don't talk. President Snow has been injecting both Four and Peeta with it." I look at her confused. "Because of the amount he's been injected with, when he strangled you some of it was passed onto you. It's going to take a few days for you to recover fully, you won't be able to talk for those days either, it won't take long, I promise." I sigh. My life is in pieces. My boyfriend wants to kill me and I cant talk.
