I walked next to Roland Finnick was in front of me by the twin sisters. I looked around to see  Panem... or what was left of it.

Powder and stones covered the once clear walk ways. Glass shards everywhere crunching underneath are feet.

"What was that with you and Finnick?" I looked at Roland who had a smirk on his face. "What?" "You know." He grabbed his own hand and held it. With a mocking 'girly' smile.

"Oh, it was nothing." "Didn't seem like nothing, I haven't seen oh Finny blush like that it a long time."

I rolled my eyes. "I don't know why I held his hand. But it felt comfortable?" "What do you mean?" He obviously knew what I meant he just wanted to hear me say it.

"Normal I guess. Like it's supposed to be that way." I shrugged. I hoped Roland would be quiet about it, I don't know how to explain anymore.

And like he read my mind we fell into comfortable silence.

Beeping from the Holo and Boggs fist in the air made us stop.

"Got a pod. Let's take cover." We jogged slightly away. "Shoot through those two buildings." "Pollux, right here."

"Great Camera time." Roland mumble as we all crouched down. Finnick moved and sat near me. "Remember your good side Roland." I joked making Finnick laugh.

I love his laugh.

"When your ready Katniss." Cressida said. Katniss grabbed an arrow and aimed. "Hold it. Polkux, tighter. Okay." I could tell Katniss was annoyed, all she wanted to do was fight but first we had to get the lighting right.

It shot through the air and flames consumed it. We all watched as black smoke erupted in the air. Then a loud boom from the pod went off.

Everyone jumped Finnick's arm went over me, protecting me from whatever could happen.

A truck fell from the explosion, and then in a matter of seconds the fire went away.

"Wow." Finnick and I mumbled. "All clear." Boggs said, we walked to a near by what I'm guessing used to be a shop.

I grabbed my water from my bag and gulped it down. I feel like smoke is stuck in my lungs.

"How are you doing?" Finnick asked as he sat next to me. "Alright. And you?" He shrugged his shoulders and took a sip from his water. I stared as he licked his lips getting all the water.
