As we walked through the jungle I walked next to Finnick. Roland walked slightly behind me reassuring me that he can walk fine even though every few steps he puts his hand on my shoulder to stabilize himself.
Before we got to the tree the fallen tributes made the arena light up.
District one District one
I looked down at my feet as Wiress came up.
When Mags came up I gripped Finnick's hand. He squeezed my hand back.
District six District seven District eleven
Was the last I looked down remembering all of them.
We all turned back going to the tree.
Beetee whistled at the sight of the tree. "Minimal charring. It's an impressive conductor. Lets get started."
I let go of Finnick's hand and walked around the tree.
"Typically a lightning strike contains four billion joules of energy." "Five." I corrected. "What?" "Five billion joules of energy." I came back around from the tree.
"Oh, right. We don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity when this hits. You three girls go together now." I looked at Finnick, he looked everywhere but me.
His eyes where on my forehead my shoulders behind me never on me. He's hiding something.
"Take this. Unspool it carefully." He handed it to Katniss. "Make sure the entire coil is in the water. You understand?" I nodded and looked at Johanna who also avoided my eye contact.
"Then head to the tree at the two o'clock sector. We'll meet you there." "I'm gonna go with them as a guard." Peeta said making everyone look at him.
"No, no, no. You're staying here to protect me. And the tree." "No, I need to go with her." This was the first time I heard Peeta 'back talk' I raised my eyebrows at his protectiveness over Katniss.
"There are two careers out there. I need two guards." "Finnick can protect you just fine and with Roland's help you'll be safe." "Yeah why can't Finnick and Cypress stay with you and Peeta and I will take the coil?"
"You all agreed to keep me alive till midnight, correct?" I looked at Roland and Finnick who both still avoided eye contact.
"It's his plan. We all agreed to it." "Im with Johanna, I mean I don't like this plan either but I'm gonna do it anyway. As long as we meet up in the two o'clock sector." I said the last part sternly, I gripped my mothers necklace making it go back and fourth on the chain.
Finnick's cupped his hand over mine making me stop.
"Is there a problem Katniss?" Roland asked. "Excellent question." "No. There's no problem."
I turned to Finnick and hugged him. "I'll see you later Angel." He whispered to me. "I'm counting on it." I whispered back. I kissed his lips hopefully not for the last time.
"Roland, be careful please." I hugged him tightly. "I will, I promise... I'm sorry Cypress." "Why?" "Just know that I am." I wanted to ask more but Johanna interrupted. "Alright let's go."
"Bye Beetee, stay safe." As I passed Peeta I patted his shoulder. "I'll keep her safe." He slightly smiled as he watched Katniss walk away.
